Chapter 12

The next day, Kurt and Blaine decided to go for a swim in the lake. It had been a while since only the two of them could spend some time together, especially since that amnesia of Kurt kept them busy constantly. The boys submerged and swam to the ground, reaching their rock. Kurt sighed happily. -I really missed that-, he thought. Blaine, who was swimming next to him, turned to the other boy, looking confused.- Why is he staring at me like that?-, Kurt wondered. -There is no way he could have heard me. How would that even be possible?-, the chestnut-haired boy thought, astonished. Blaine just stared at him with an open mouth. But what if he had heard him? If Kurt learned something, then that in this world, everything was possible.- Blaine, if you can hear me, then nod-, Kurt thought. Blaine nodded. Kurt stared at the other boy. -But how is that possible?-, Kurt heard a voice in his head. But it was not his own voice. It wasn't even his own thought. Kurt looked over to Blaine.- Did you just speak into my brain?-, he asked incredulously. -I guess so...-,Blaine answered. The boys horrifiedly looked at each other and quickly swam to the moonpool. "What was that?", Kurt asked anxiously when they surfaced. Blaine shrugged. "Is this a new power? But why? Or how?", he asked. Kurt shook his head. "I have no idea. But we should talk to the others and find out", he said and dove back in. Blaine grimaced. "So much for alone time", he muttered. -I heard that, Blaine!-, Kurt said telepathically. The other boy laughed. "And I was worried that these summer holidays would be boring…"

"You did what?", Rachel asked the boys, astonished. Once again, the NDs had a meeting, but this time in the basement of the Hudmel-household. "We could lead a conversation in our heads", Kurt explained. "Like…telepathically? That's awesome!", Sam exclaimed. He had read a lot of comic books of superheroes with mental abilities, but he had never imagined one of them would one day possess such abilities. Quinn put her hands on her hips. "How can you prove that you are not lying?", she asked the boys and cocked one eyebrow. Kurt looked at Blaine. -They don't believe us. I knew it was a bad idea to tell them about it-, the chestnut-haired boy thought. "How do you expect us to believe you with no proof?", Rachel asked and crossed her arms. Kurt confusedly looked to the brunette. "I didn't say that out loud, did I?", he asked the others. "You just said that we didn't believe you and that it was a bad idea to tell us about that. We could hear you, you know", Mercedes said, and the others nodded in agreement. Blaine furrowed his eyebrows. He needed to try something.- Okay, guys, look at my mouth. It is not moving but you can still hear me. Kurt and I said the truth. You want a proof? Here is your proof-, he thought. The gleeks were gaping at him, speechless. "Holy shit", Puck hissed eventually. "But how is this possible?", Artie wondered. Kurt shrugged. "We don't know. We still need to figure that one out." "And this only works among us?", Mike asked. Blaine nodded. "I guess so. I tried it with Cooper, but it didn't work. Maybe it only works with merpeople", he theorized. "I think we really need to contact Alice, Pamela and Gwen now. This whole thing gets out of hand", Finn realized. "Ain't that the truth, Frankenteen…", Santana muttered sarcastically.

"Why didn't you contact us sooner? You are lucky you could get Kurt's memories back", Pamela berated the gleeks. The group of friends was now gathered around Arties Laptop and were skyping with the three women. "We thought we could handle it. It was my fault, I told the others not to contact you", Rachel admitted, bowing her head. "Hey, we all make mistakes, it's okay", Alice said warmly. "But after we cured Kurt's amnesia, we discovered that we can all telepathically communicate with each other", Quinn told the elder mermaids. "So let me get this straight: This new ability showed up the day after Kurt got his memories back?", Gwen wanted to know. "Yes", Tina answered. Gwen looked at her notes. "What if this new ability could be a side effect of mermaid magic? Some remnants of this magic are maybe still inside Kurt and by using this new ability on you, he accidently passed it to you as well. I've heard of similar cases like that", she theorized. "That kind of makes sense", Sam agreed. "So we all have a new ability thanks to Manhands who found this… this…box with glitter?", Santana asked incredulously. Rachel smirked. "You are welcome", she winked at the Latina mermaid who just rolled her eyes. "Telepathy was no unusual ability among mermaids. Some centuries ago when merpeople used to live underwater, they used this ability to communicate with each other", Gwen read from her notes. "Yeah, all those hand signs are annoying at some point", Mike admitted. "But guys, you really need to be careful with this. Don't exaggerate or else people will grow suspicious. And next time if you want to use mermaid magic again, ask us first", Alice warned the NDs. "We are always careful", Kurt assured the three women. "Oh, and Finn? Did you find out what your primary power is?", Pamela wanted to know before they hung up. Finn shook his head, looking sad. "Don't worry, kid. You will find out sooner or later", the blonde tried to console him. "Yeah, I hope so…", he grumbled.
