When they got to Claire's, Noah was there at the table when they got in. Elle winced.
"You go in my window, Elle," Claire said out of the corner of her mouth as Noah turned around and saw them both.

"Hi, Claire. Oh, hi Elle."

"Hi, dad," Claire said.

"Hi, Mr. Bennet."

"How did it go?"
"What," Claire asked, feigning innocence.

"Lyle told me about your date, so how did it go?"
Claire growled.
"It went fine," she said through clenched teeth, "we had a good time."

Claire was angry at Lyle for telling.

"Hey, Elle, can I talk to you for a sec? I'm not mad at either of you."

"Uh, sure, Mr. Bennet."

He and Elle went into the kitchen.

"Elle, I don't really mind that the two of you are together. But if you hurt Claire, I'll track you down and kill you," Noah said.
"Alright, Mr. Bennet. I understand."

"Please, call me Noah."

They headed back into the other room. Lyle came downstairs.

"Hey, what's up?"
Claire clenched her fists, turned and glared at Lyle.
"What's wrong, sis?"

Claire restrained herself, but Elle took the less practical approach and threw a tiny bolt of lightning at Lyle, knocking him off his feet. Claire's jaw dropped.

"Elle!"

"What," Elle asked.

"You could have hurt him," Claire said, hustling to her brother's side.

He groaned and sat up.

"What happened? Claire, why'd you electrocute me?"

"I didn't."

"It was me," Elle piped up.

"Who're you?"
"I'm Claire's girlfriend, Elle Bishop."

"You threw lightning at me," Lyle said, "didn't you?"

"Yes. Did I injure you?"
"Nothing serious," Lyle said.

"You have to have self-control, Elle," Claire scolded. "You could have seriously injured him!"
"Well, I'm sorry," Elle said, "I just lost control of my anger."

"Everyone has a girlfriend but me," Lyle complained, "even my big sister."
