Hello everyone! This chapter is triplet fluff because I just love writing it. Enjoy! :)

(STEVEN POV)

I came downstairs to the training room to see Josh going at a punching bag furiously. A soaking wet Rebecca walked up the stairs past me. "See if you can talk to him. I don't know what his deal is." she said, leaving.

"Hey. What happened?" I asked him.

He didn't stop punching, his eyes trained on the bag.

"Nothing happened." he said.

"Come on. Clearly something happened." I said.

"Nothing happened." he said, whirling around and glaring at me.

"Wanna spar?" I asked.

He looked kind of surprised but shrugged. "Sure." he said. We got into our stances and he threw a punch at me. I blocked it and aimed an uppercut at his stomach. He blocked that too.

"So why are you so angry?" I asked.

"People are stupid." he said.

"Which people?" I asked, jumping as he sweep kicked under my legs.

"Everyone." he grumbled, aiming a punch.

"Even me? Even Rebecca?" I asked, going invisible and sneaking up on him from behind. He saw that coming and kicked me in the stomach. I fell but popped back up, kicking him in the side.

"Not you two, no." he said, punching my arm.

"Then who?" I asked.

"Me." he said. That caught me off guard and I fell when he kicked me. He held out his hand, and I grabbed it, getting up.

He made no move to continue the fight, so I crossed my arms. "What does that mean?" I asked.

"I messed up." was all he said, unwrapping his hands. I gave him a look.

"How so?"

"Are you here to interrogate me?" he asked.

"No. I'm not."

"Then what are you trying to do?"

"Get you to talk. And you didn't answer my question." I said.

He sighed and sat down on the bench. "I'm not going to talk." he replied.

"You can't shut down." I told him.

"I can. And I am." he said shortly.

"What's your problem?" I asked.

"What's your problem?" he asked in return. I raised my eyebrows at him.

"I don't have one." I replied. "But you do."

"I told you. I messed up, badly." he said, not looking at me.

"Josh, that means nothing to me unless I know how you messed up."

"Promise you won't get mad?"

"I never get mad."

"Fine. So basically, I blew up the school water fountain and somebody slipped on it and ended up with a broken leg." he said.

I thought about it. He thought I would get mad, which means it's somebody I care about a lot, because I really don't get mad easily. There was only one person in our grade that would've been with him at the time that I haven't seen yet today. Sofia. "It was Sofia wasn't it?" I asked, shaking my head.

"You're not mad?" he asked.

"No. I'm pissed off. Why did you blow up the water fountain?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"You don't sound mad." he said.

"Trust me, I'm angry enough right now. But I can't let myself be angry with you until I know why you blew up the water fountain." I replied.

"Can you not be so logical? Can't you just yell or scream or something?" he asked.

"You don't want me to yell at you." I said.

"Yes I do. I do want you to yell at me. I want you to say what you think instead of staring at me emotionlessly. I can never get a read on you, you know that?" he said.

"You didn't answer my question." I said calmly.

"Fine. They were saying some really awful things about Scarlet and apparently they didn't realize I was her brother and then, it was a total accident, but the water fountain exploded." he said.

"What were they saying about Scarlet?" I asked.

"I'd really rather not repeat it." he muttered.

"I'm not mad at you Josh. It was an accident. She'll get better. I'm mad at those girls that thought they could insult our sister and get away with it. Did they at least slip too?" I asked.

"Yeah. Well, the water kinda shot them in the faces. So yeah." he said, smirking.

"Nice." I replied, smirking back.

"I still think you should yell more often." Josh told me.

"Why? If I had yelled at you just now, all logical reasoning would've been abandoned and I wouldn't have come to the conclusion that I did." I pointed out.

"Good point." he said.

(SCARLET POV)

Daniel walked in my room and I looked at him. "The door was shut." I said.

"I know." he said, smirking, sitting next to me.

"What if I had been changing or something?" I asked.

"I've seen it before." he said, grinning. "And besides, you would have locked the door."

"True. Why are you here?" I asked.

"Do you want me to leave?" he asked, laughing.

"No. I'm bored." I said.

"What happened today?" he asked. I ignored him.

"You want to watch something?" I asked, not addressing his question. I grabbed my phone and started scrolling through my recommended list on Netflix.

"Scar. What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing happened." I replied.

"You literally ran out of the building and didn't come back." he said, giving me a look.

"And?"

"And, something is wrong." he said, taking the phone away from me. I glared at him.

"Everything's fine." I said, looking down.

"Clearly." he said sarcastically.

"Just leave it alone Daniel." I said.

"If you really want me to leave it alone, I will. But I don't think that's what you want." he said.

"You're right. You're right. I just overheard some things." I said.

"What did you hear?" he asked me. I don't really want to tell him, because despite how irrational it might be, I'm afraid that he might believe it.

"They were saying that I sleep around even though I'm with you and I don't. I never have. And that wouldn't bother me, but Josh was just standing there listening to them saying these things. He didn't say anything." I said nonchalantly. I honestly never saw it coming. I mean, I thought the three of us were close, but I guess if he was standing there listening to that, then he doesn't care as much as I though he did.

"I'm sure he did say something after you left. You probably didn't stick around to hear it." he said.

"For god's sake Daniel. He's my brother. We came from the same freaking egg. He has a short fuse too. I would hope it didn't take that long for him to get upset at them." I snapped. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you." I apologized after I took a deep breath.

"It's okay. Why don't you ask him?" He said.

"I don't want to talk to him." I replied.

"He's your brother. You can't just ignore him.

"I can and I will. He'll figure it out eventually." I said stubbornly.

"I still think you should find out what happened exactly before you decide to shun him." Daniel said, looking at me.

"I'll ask my mom or something." I said. I'm not going to budge on this one.

"Okay." he relented.

(LATER)

I walked into the kitchen and Josh and Steven were there. They both greeted me, but I ignored Josh. "Hi Steven." I said. They both looked at me confused and Daniel gave me a look.

"Did I do something?" Josh asked, confused. I didn't acknowledge him.

"Hey Josh! Can you come over here for a second?" I heard our mom call.

"Yeah mom. One second." he said. He gave me an odd look then left.

"Why are you ignoring him?" Steven asked.

"He just stood there as some other girls were insulting me immensely and said nothing, didn't argue with them, didn't get them to shut up, nothing. He just stayed silent." I said.

Steven laughed. He laughed. "This isn't a laughing matter." I told him.

"I'm sorry. I know it's not. But he didn't just stand there. He accidentally blew up the water and it sprayed at them but then Sofia slipped on the water and she broke her leg. He did do something." he said.

I looked at him shocked. "-oh." I said, opening my mouth and then having nothing else to say.

"I told you so." Daniel said. I glared at him.

"Shut up." I replied. He laughed.

"Yeah. He thought I was going to be mad at him." Steven said.

"You're not?" I asked.

"No. It was an accident. And besides, he at least drenched those other girls." Steven said.

"Why are you always so calm?" I asked. He smirked.

"It's a gift." he replied.

"No it's not." I gasped. "You're a robot!" I decided.

He and Daniel laughed. "That's funny, but no."

"I disagree. I'm going to go ask mom."

"Ask me what?" My mom asked, walking in.

"Is Steven a robot?" I asked.

She started laughing. "No honey. Steven is not a robot."

"Are you 100% sure? Because they say that some people hallucinate during childbirth."

"You just made that up." Steven told me.

"Did not." I replied.

"I promise I didn't hallucinate. I spent 38 hours in labor. He took the longest, 24 hours. You took 6 hours, and Josh took 8 hours." she said.

"I'm never having kids." I decided right then. "You're okay with that right?" I asked Daniel. "Because if you're not, I don't really care." I said.

He didn't look like he knew how to respond to that one. "Scarlet, you're going to scare him off." My mom told me.

I rolled my eyes. "No I'm not. Right Daniel?" I asked.

He just nodded. "Right." he said. "Not scaring me at all." He muttered. I laughed and patted his shoulder lightly.

"Good." I said, smiling. "Where's Josh?" I asked.

"Are you going to apologize?" Steven asked.

"Yes." I said, walking out to find him. As much as I hate both of my idiot brothers, I can't have josh beating himself up over this.

I found him in the common room. "Why are you moping around?" I asked.

He raised his eyebrows at me. "So you're not pissed off anymore?"

"No. I thought you just stood there listening to them say those things, but apparently right after I left you blew up a water fountain in their faces." I said.

"Yeah."

"Yeah, you could've handled that better. But oh well. It's okay."

"It's not though. I broke Sofia's leg." he said.

"No you didn't. Don't flatter yourself. You're not capable of that dummy. What happened was a pure accident. You're a kid. You can't blame yourself for losing control over your powers sometimes, and you can't blame yourself for what happened as a result of it. And anyway, Sofia has super soldier serum in her blood because apparently her dad was a super solider so she'll be fine in a week." I said.

He sat down and looked at me. "I've had my powers my whole life. You would think I'd know how to control them."

I shrugged and sat next to him. "In gym class the other day some idiot told me that because I'm a girl I wouldn't be able to beat him in a race so I accidentally ran using my powers and started a fire on the track." I said.

His jaw dropped. "You didn't."

"I did. One girl got a minor burn."

"One time I was so embarrassed because of something I said that I disappeared. Like I actually went invisible and they were all freaked out and didn't know where I went and called the police and everything." Steven said, walking in. "They put the building on lockdown and one kid had a panic attack." He sat on the other side of Josh.

"Having powers sucks." Josh decided.

"I knowww." Steven and I agreed.

"Look, as much as what happened to Sofia today sucks, it could've been worse. And you shouldn't blame yourself for it." Steven told him.

"Yeah, but-"

"Shut up." I cut him off.

"Scar-"

"Stop." Steven cut him off.

"Stev-"

"Can you take the hint and drop it?" I cut him off again.

"I hate you both." he groaned.

"We love you too." I said, hugging him.

"Yeah, I guess so." Steven agreed. I hit his head. "Ow!"

"Dummies. The both of you." I muttered. Steven laughed and joined the group hug.

"Awww Jase look at that." I heard my mom say.

We looked at our parents, annoyed. They're ruining the moment. Then they come and join us. Why world why?!

"How cute. One big loving family." Daniel said.

"Daniel Garner I swear to all things sacred and holy if you take a goddamn picture I will murder you." I threatened. He laughed and did it anyway. I got up and tried grabbing his phone, but he kept it out of my reach.

"I hate you." I said.

"You love me."

"No, I don't, give me the phone." I said, reaching for it.

He kissed my cheek. "Okay, here." He said, handing it to me.

I looked at him skeptically, keeping my eyes on him as I deleted the picture.

He was smirking, and I don't like that smirk at all. I checked his messages and he had sent it to everyone! I'll never delete that! Ever!

"Oh my god! I actually hate you." I groaned, giving him the phone back.

He laughed and grinned. "You keep saying that but it's alright. That was so touching and sweet. I mean, I can feel the love between you and your siblings-"

"Daniel." I said, looking at him dangerously.

He blanched. "I'm just gonna go." he said, backing out slowly.

My dad put his arm around me. "He's right you know. You all love each other."

I wrinkled my nose. "Ew. Those two buffoons? Please."

"Yeah dad. Be realistic. Scarlets a snob and Josh is annoying." Steven agreed, scoffing.

"For real. Don't be ridiculous. Steven is a nerd and Scarlet has anger management issues." Josh said, and then the three of us walked out together, leaving our parents behind us looking dumbfounded.
