Chapter 49.
John
"Resurrection Hey?" repeat to Nine. "What I'd do with that legacy."
"Nice one but your ximic only works when you see the legacy in action, and Hannah's sworn off using it on humans ever again."
"I think it's a legacy we'd all want." Marina agrees.
"So is this what you called us all here for, Nine? To talk about legacies you find interesting." Six asks
"I'm sure Nine has a plan." Ella smiles.
"Doesn't She also talk to the dead?" I ask
"How do you know that?"
"She told me before she arrived here. I saw how she uses the legacy, she uses ghosts like spies."
"So?"
"Well instead of sending people to work undercover, why not have her ask ghosts to the Foundation to retrieve information?"
"Are the ghosts reliable?"
"They were reliable enough for her to give me accurate information on the attackers the other day. And they're ghosts, why would they lie?"
"Any other weird new legacies?" Marina asks
"Not that I know about, and I haven't gotten any closer to finding any moles."
"Any updates on Five?" Six asks, and Nine's mouth twists in disgust.
"He's alive but that's all I cared to find out about." Ella replies.
After the meeting, Nine goes to teach a class.
"Just because regular human lessons have stopped over the summer doesn't mean I'm letting them slack off."
"Go easy on them, they're only kids"
I feel like training, after sitting down for so long I could use the exercise.
"I will scare the telekinesis out of you. Keep your hands behind your back, now catch!"
"How am I supposed no move my hands?"
In the gym, Merlin is throwing a basket ball at Annabeth.
It stops three inches away from her face.
"Good, now throw it back to me without touching it."
"What are you doing?"
"Teaching Annabeth how to use her legacies." She replies, catching the ball.
"By tying her hands up?"
"She kept punching the ball."
"It's fine, she asked first."
"Besides, this is how I helped our brothers. Do you want a go?"
"I'll pass."
Merlin unties the piece of string that held Annabeth's hands together. If she wanted, she could've easily torn the string apart so I feel more comfortable now.
"Can we use some of my stones now? I can't use all of them because I'm not a Guarde but you'll be able to, and I want to train you."
I know what's going on now. Merlin has chosen to be Annabeth's cĂȘpan.
"You're not going to almost blow the school up again are you?"
"Promise! Now, where is, ah!"
"What's wrong?" I ask her.
"Forgot about this, this is yours by the way." She tosses me an amber bracelet, similar to my red one. But thus one doesn't sting in the same way the red one did.
(I can't remember if John ever said that the bracelet shield thing ever hurt him but I think he did, if he didn't then oh well it did now.)
"Thanks I guess."
Liam
In my dorm, the guys I recognise from before look weirdly at me.
"Ah shit yeah I forgot we had a new roommate."
"You left at the right time blud, we had exams all last week but now we're free,"
All I remember was that one is called Adi. He has dark skin, is tall and skinny.
He has a heavy Eastern European accent but I'm not sure which country he's from.
I don't know the second guy's know though I do recognise him.
"Where you been?"
"The councillors office."
"Ah good luck, those weekly meetings are the worst."
"They're weekly?" I die on the inside.
"Well, yeah."
"I don't think we've met. I'm Chun." Says the other guy.
"Liam."
"So where are you from? I'm from Budapest in Hungary and Chun is from Chengdu in China."
"New York, in America."
"You're lucky then."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"Well, I've got to study." Adi says, picking up his backpack.
"And I've got a class with Professor Nine in ten minutes. Have a good day."
"Have a good day lads!"
I guess I could go see Katy or Percy, but Merlin told me she's going to the training complex so I go there.
"Liam!" Merlin calls, Annabeth and Percy are here. So is John.
Merlin told me about John, and she looked so cute and excited.
Images flash before my eyes. John smirking, a fire ball and Merlin blocks it with a basketball.
"So, John, do you want to join?" Merlin asks.
"As in you want to train me?"
"Sure, what other legacies do you have?"
"Well, a lot."
"Well, how try and remove this ball from my hands then."
I see some sort of tug of war between Merlin, who's wrapped her body over the basket ball, and John who must be using his telekinesis.
Merlin goes higher in the air, squealing. "This isn't fair!" She giggles.
She reaches the top of the ceiling.
"Can you move me down?"
"Just jump!"
"You're kidding! It's too high!"
"Here, I'll catch you."
"Nuh uh."
"Then have fun up there!"
"Noo! My arms are about to drop off!"
"Right I'll move you down!"
She let's go of the ball but stops falling less than a second later.
"Got the ball!"
"You cheated!"
"Try again! Catch."
"Let's see how you do with fire."
He throws a fireball at her and she blocks it with the basket ball.
Wait a minute.
