Part 4
It seemed like a complete waste of time but Gabriel knew better than to point that out. The others would just go ahead and do their hero thing anyway. He wasn't too thrilled with the whole group getting together again. Hell, he had never been too thrilled with the group in the first place.
It wasn't like he had any psychic powers at all left. That crystal had dome something - 'cured' him - were the words Kait kept using. Unfortunately, they were still all connected by that annoying mind link web as well, and they'd just bug him through that until he agreed to help them, if anything just to shut them up.
He sat on a wall outside the University library waiting for Kait to show up. Several girls were giving him appreciative glances as they passed by. He ignored them, not in the mood for it.
His mind kept drifting back to Kait's new premonition drawings. The fires and the broken glass. The broken glass according to Kait was the result of her friend Maria's sister Chyna, an uncontrolled telekinetic. The fire they were all clueless about.
Or maybe now. Gabriel remembered briefly a cousin of his, Lexi. Lexi could do cool things with fire. She could light matches without touching them, make the flames dance away from the wicks, walk across her hands without even burning her.
He hadn't seen Lexi in years, didn't know if she even still remembered him. Might as well get off his ass and do something with himself. He walked over to Kait's dorm and left a message with her roommate Donna.

"Had something to find. Be back when I can?" Kait read the note Gabriel had left, shaking her head. Just typical of him, she thought moodily.
"If anything he seemed rather - smug," Donna offered as Kait scrunched up the paper and threw it in the waste bin.
"*Smug*?" Kait asked.
Donna pushed a strand of her dyed pink hair out her eyes, "Yeah, like he was - " she trailed off and shrugged.
"Going to do something he knew I'd disapprove of if he told me," Kait finished with a scowl. Gabriel *knew* they were supposed to be meeting the others tomorrow morning. He *knew*. He didn't think these new psychics were much to worry about, he thought it was all pointless. So why had he suddenly taken off like that?
//Gabriel what the hell are you up to?// she yelled at him through the mind link.
//Finding the second psychic//he answered her.
Kait had expected to come up against his walls. He was letting her in. That was - Kait wasn't sure what to make of this.
//The second psychic? You know something? I thought you said this was all a waste of time//
//It is,// he answered, //but this one's mine.//
Before Kait could ask what he meant she got an image of obsidian slates. He'd slammed the mental walls in her face.
What the hell was he up to? Kait thought.
