Chapter 27

Training of Each Other

The next morning went well until our powers went out of control. The fact that everything workout out until then was amazing, because I was not the best teacher. I set up a bunch of tests both written and action wise and he aced them all. I congratulated him and then he inhaled deeply to say something (probably long winded) and his power accidentally sent me across the room. I hit the wall not hard enough to break any bones but hard enough that it hurt. This made me mad, and before I could control my anger the water in a full pitcher went over and dumped itself on his head. Water ran down his face and he spluttered "what… how did that happen? I don't remember having that ability".

I looked down ashamed at my reaction and softly said "you don't, that was me, I mean it was a side effect of being dropped in the vat, I've been trying to control it". Luke looked at me in astonishment and asked "why didn't you tell me sooner. I could help you learn to control it". I continued looking at the floor and said "I didn't want to bring attention to it, the power is hard to control and I've been trying to make it so during fights or important moments I don't feel anything. It seems especially connected to strong emotions". Luke looked and was shocked "you still should have told me, ok now it's my turn to teach you". He did, we worked the rest of the afternoon on it. I felt we both learned something new that day and it would lead to a greater time. That night was hard, because we were both going separate ways; me back home and Luke to the neighboring town to be the resident super hero.

We made plans to leave the next morning so we had one more night with each other. We also made plans to get together every other weekend (when possible) so we never lost track of each other again. I had offered to leave where I was staying to live with him but I was told he was always more of a solo act, and had only made this plan to never lose me again. The day he thought I had died was really tough on him. That night we had a normal dinner, no truth powder and no accusing each other of other motives. That night I tossed and turned not able to go to sleep, thinking I will see him again I'm not really losing him. It turned out I was tired so eventually I fell asleep.

The next morning I watched Luke off and then headed home. The entire time I was walking all I could think about was our plans to get together and how much trouble I would be in. As it turned out I wasn't in too much trouble, Dick had done his part of the plan to the best of his abilities and had explained it all to dad. That was really nice; I didn't have to worry about it too much. Although we were both taken off of patrol for a week. With the exercises Luke set up for me I know I will gain better control over my newfound ability. I know my power over water will grow but as much as I like it, the power isn't meant for me. As soon as I can I plan on losing it, besides I have always preferred working with no powers. Ok I take that part back; it might help if my breathing under water ability stayed that might help in the future. Villains really like half drowning me. Other than that I will be fine with no powers.


Thanks for reading!
