Changes and Discoveries 7
Liz didn't know what happened one minute she was plastered to the ceiling the next she was dropped in the sofa and the white light vanished. Liz breathes in a sigh of relief, because in that moment Max came in.
"Sorry to barge in, but I called out and no one answered. I saw a white light coming out of here," Max said, worried.
Everyone just stared at him, not knowing what to do. They could feel their heart beating frantically and just one thought race through their minds. 'That was a close call.'
After Liz was sure her voice wouldn't waver and that she was under control, she spoke. "We didn't hear you. The light was a flashlight we were trying out," Liz lied.
The other mentally groaned. 'Where is the flashlight?' To everyone's shock, excepts Linda's, Liz said in their minds, 'Claire, you better do your thing.'
Claire looked at Liz like she had grown another head, seeing Liz's glare; she immediately began to work on her mind warped.
Max looked skeptically at Liz. "Uh, Liz, where is the flashlight?"
In that moment, Claire's powers kick in, and a flashlight appeared on the sofa.
Liz pointed to the sofa. "It's new and like I said we were trying it out."
Max just stared at Liz, he knew she was lying, and he wasn't sure about what, but he was certain of it. He could have sworn that the flashlight wasn't there when he came in, but he didn't comment on it, instead he said, "The others are downstairs."
Linda got over her shock and said, "Oh, Claire, Chris, and Josh, why don't you go downstairs with Max and get to know each other." Linda saw they were going to protest so she added, "And that's final. Liz and I have something to talk about, now go."
Even Max was reluctant to go, but he left anyway, Claire being the last one since she was still in shock at hearing Liz in her mind.
Linda stared at Liz for a couple of minutes; she didn't know what to say. She was in shock, Liz had demonstrated a just a small amount of her power, she feared what would happen if Liz was at her full extent, yet she knew that Liz would reach it and there was no stopping her, it was Liz's right and destiny.
Liz was worried even Linda seemed to be in shock. "Linda, what happened?"
Linda focused on Liz's question. "Your powers are waking up."
"But I already had my powers. I mean, I could do about every thing Max and the others do."
Linda began to pace. "Liz, that was just a small part of it, your powers are greater than that. Liz, I don't even know the full extent of your powers." Linda knew the effect those words would cause on Liz, but they were true and Liz deserved to know. "Liz, you mustn't fear them for they are yours and they were trusted on you, because you can handle them."
Liz didn't know what to make out of Linda's words. "We better go downstairs, before Josh, Chris, and Claire get into trouble."
Linda was going to say something, but Liz was already out of her sight. Sighing, she also went downstairs. 'Being their advisor and protector isn't easy!'
---
Liz got to the Crashdown to see Claire, Chris, and Josh in one corner and Max, Michael, Isabel, and the others in another corner. When she was going to comment on it, Maria and Alex attacked her.
"Oh, Lizzie, why didn't you tell us? We were so worried about you, we still are. I can't believe this happen! I'm so sorry!" Maria said almost in panic.
Alex more calmly said, "Liz, you should have called us. We would have been here for you."
Liz felt ashamed, again she had let them down. "I'm sorry, I just needed some time alone."
Maria saw Claire was approaching them and she couldn't help it her irritation was noticeable on her face. "Look, Claire, we are Liz's friends and we want to be here for her, so butt out!"
Alex got a little nervous when he saw that Claire wasn't the only one advancing towards them.
Josh and Chris were right behind Claire, they knew Maria and Alex were Liz's friends, but it was a natural reaction on their parts, it was their duty to protect Liz from everyone.
Michael, Max, and Isabel also approached them, not happy that they were trying to shield Liz from her friends.
Liz didn't know what to do, she felt suffocated at Josh, Chris, and Claire's insistence in protecting her and at Maria, Max, Isabel, Alex, and Michael's insistence in being there for her. She appreciated it, but she didn't want that, in that moment she wanted to be alone.
Linda had been watching the exchange with great interest, but she knew it was time to put a stop to it when she saw Liz's eyes go from person to person and her hands. They would glow in a white light for a second, not really noticeable, going back to normal and then they would glow again. Linda took that as a sign that Liz was getting irritated and that she was about to unleash some of her power without her even knowing it.
Linda approached the group. "Hi, I'm Linda, Liz's Aunt. Maria, Alex, how nice to see you kids again, although I wish the circumstances would have been better."
Liz smiled her gratitude at Linda. "This is Isabel, Michael, and the others you already know," Liz said pointing at each of them as she said their names.
Linda acknowledged them with a nod. She turned her gaze towards Claire and the others and said, "We have to talk."
The three of them swallowed and nodded, they didn't like Linda's tone at all. Linda turned her attention to Liz, Michael, Max, and the others and said, "Excuse us. We'll be right back."
"Will they be okay?" Isabel asked; worried about the cold tone Linda used.
"Why are you worried about them? Its about time Claire was put in her place." Maria said, crossing her arm and tapping her feet.
Liz looked at Maria disapprovingly and then answered Isabel's question. "They will be okay. My Aunt isn't as bad as she seems."
"Well, I still think they need to be taught a lesson."
Michael shook his head, and wrapped his arm around Maria's waist, bringing her closer to him. "Maria, this is Liz's parent's funeral. Could you be a little more tactful?"
Maria nodded ashamed of her behavior not noticing everyone's shocked expressions at Michael's words, they never knew he could be so thoughtful.
They were interrupted when people started to come in.

Linda took them to the manager's office. "What were you thinking?"
"Our job is to protect Liz, " Claire immediately answered.
"Yes, but there was no danger near her and you acted like her friends were a plague or something." More calmly Linda said, "Liz's powers are awaking, she doesn't have control over them. You guys were just about to be blasted away if I hadn't interfered. So if you want to keep that from happening, you better not cause Liz too much stress."
"But weren't you saying Liz training needed to begin," Josh argued.
"And it's still going to begin…tonight. Liz has to control her powers; we can't have another episode like we did today. Now, we are going to go out there and you guys are going to behave. Do you think you can go out and stay a few hours without killing each other?"
They quickly nodded, not wanting to hear any more of Linda's lecture.
"Good. Because this is supposed to be a funeral, not a party."
When they left the office, they saw the place was already full with people. They saw Liz in a corner with Maria, Alex, Isabel, Michael, and Max. They were talking, but they could tell Liz's mind wasn't on their conversation.
Chris immediately made his way towards her, wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "Liz, are you okay?"
Liz gave an unsure nod and turned her attention back to the conversation, which had changed because of the presence of Chris, Josh, and Claire.
Chris could feel all eyes on him more specifically all eyes on his arm that's wrapped around Liz's waist. He was about to take his arm away, but he changed his mind and left it where it was. 'I'm not going to be intimidated by them. I always been like this with Liz, and I'm not going to stop, because they don't like it.'
Maria couldn't take her eyes off Chris and Liz. 'How can Liz do this to Max?! Can't she see Max loves her?' Maria bluntly asked, "Liz, is there something going on between the two of you?"
Liz oblivious as to what Maria meant answered with a question of her own. "Between me and whom?"
"Between you and him," Maria answered, pointing towards Chris.
Liz just stared at Maria. "Maria, are you serious?" Liz saw Maria nod and all she wanted to do was laugh, but stopped herself remembering why everyone was there. "Maria, are you crazy? Chris and I are only friends, nothing more! I can't believe you would have thought that." Looking at Chris she added, "And no offense, Chris, but you aren't exactly boyfriend material." Turning her attention back to the others said, "I wouldn't go out with Chris even if I was paid to. Chris and I are just good friends, like Alex and I. I just can't imagine where you would get an idea like that."
"Thanks a lot," Chris muttered.
Liz knowing that in someway she hurt his feeling said, "Oh Chris, I'm sorry, but it's the truth. You aren't boyfriend material, because you haven't found the right girl for you…yet. I'm sure when you meet her you'll sweep her out off her feet. I mean, you are charming, funny…" Seeing a twinkle in Chris' eyes she added, "And I'm doing wonders to your ego, right?"
Chris with a wide grin nodded. "You don't have to stop there, I can't wait for you to continue."
"You jerk! You made me believe I hurt your feelings! Do you actually have any?" Liz said as she slapped his arm.
"How could you hurt my feeling if what you said is true?" Chris asked, logically.
Everyone's mind was put at ease by Chris and Liz's display, and it was funny watching them. Everyone could feel the tension drop, and that they were more at ease with each other. The only time Chris dropped his arm out of Liz's waist was when Linda called, leaving the two groups alone with each other.
Liz wished she could go back to her friends some how that seemed more bearable than having to hear stranger say how sorry they were about what happened to her parents. When Liz was finally able to get away from everyone, they were heading to the burial. After two hours they came back to the Crashdown.
Max and the others saw Liz's exhaustion, and they decided to leave so Liz could rest. Liz couldn't help it, but let her relief be shown on her face. After she said goodbye to them, she took a bath and went to sleep, the others following suit.
They were awakening late at night by a voice in their minds. 'Wake up, guys. It's time for the training to begin.'
