Chapter 14
I had no idea what happened, I just know that it was kind of awesome. After that energy surge, I was really tired. I sat in the Pilot's seat for a while. Everything was quiet and a little blurry. I saw Keith's face eye level with mine. I started to hear things again right after everything go into normal focus.
"Hey, you alright?" I nodded, my mouth tasted like I just eat tin foil, (And please don't ask me how I know what it tastes like). I felt wet under my nose, I bought two fingers to under my nose and saw blood on the tips of them.
"Are you OK kid, you don't look very good."
"Yeah I'm fine, It just took a little bit more energy than I thought it would." I looked around the pit, the steering definitely changed, "I didn't know that the steering would change, I think I might be able to change it back if you would like to be too."
"No it will be fine for now, I'll have Pidge or Vince, they are techy people, do you think you can walk?"
I pushed off the side of the chair. My legs felt like led, I stumbled a little before an arm grabbed my arm and hand stable. Not my best moment by far. He held on to my right arm and helped me walk out, I sort of slide back into to the pod. The lid shut and we started moving. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out, I hadn't realized it when it was happening, but my breath got really frequent. I tried to slow it down. By the time we got back to the control room I could walk on my own, but I still had a killer headache.
Vince and Daniel were still in the control room looking at the screens. Vince turned around and looked at me kind of dumbfounded.
"How did you do that?" Vince just looked at me, I looked down at the ground. He seemed too excited, I didn't want to burst his bubble.
"I don't know, I didn't know that I could change things." I looked back up. Daniel was smiling, though I didn't understand why he was smiling. It was weird, he told me not to tell them what we are. But he got happy whenever I showed them a little piece of the truth. Boys, am I right.
"I guess I didn't understand how different powers were at first, I just thought that it was the colors." He looks so sad, I'm guessing that he had been looking for answers for a while.
"Well, maybe the colors have a lot to do with it," now Daniel was not smiling, too far I'm guessing. I'm also guessing that I will have to learn to be silent and bite my tongue. (Get it, Get it, Sorry I'm also a theater nerd.)
"What do you mean by that." Sorry, Daniel, usually I'm better at this, I will try and fix this. He looked curious, but not a happy kind of chorus.
"Well I don't know, I was just kind of randomly thinking. I mean, I did kind of get this welcoming feeling when I was in the Lion. I have never used that much power before." I put my hand on the back of my neck and gave my best 'I'm just a stupid kid' look.
"Well anyways, I have only changed material once, and that is when I had a key in my volt-com, and it was definitely not a lion." I thought about the black shield in my back pocket.
"Sorry, I don't really know much more than that." Keith frowned
"That's Ok for now, you guys missed lunch. And dinner is in a couple of hours. Until then you get to meet some of the other pilots since you really didn't get to meet them before." Yeah socializing, very fun.
