My back hurt and my legs felt stiff….
I sat with Ashley at the kitchen table later that evening. Hannah and Kate were in their rooms, probably sleeping (or watching the latest episode of the Walking Dead) and Kurt was sleeping peacefully on the couch.
"Hey, Millie?" Ashley whispered, "If you were a mutant, which power would you have?"
"I don't know, maybe, um…"
"You want teleportation, don't you?"
"More or less. You?"
"I don't know either. Perhaps a way to bring BEN Drowned out of the computer to make him be my best friend and make him control people on the computer to freak them out. More or less."
I was about to laugh, when something came into my mind. "Ashley?"
"What?"
"What if something like this happens again? But not with X-Men characters. Like, what if Jeff the Killer comes out of my computer screen?"
"Then we'll befriend him like we did with Kurt!"
"No, you don't see the point! He could kill us!"
"True…but what if it's Jane instead of Jeff?"
"What if it's…Spock!? I like Spock!"
"Legolas or Gimli?"
"Rocket Raccoon?"
"Shrek?"
"Dude that could be bad."
"Oh. Well, it could be worse. Bellatrix…"
"Elmo…"
"Jar Jar," we both said at once. After that, we stopped talking. Until Hannah walked in.
