I'll update every time I get a few reviews, anyways don't shy away from giving constructive criticism so long as it's constructive I love it, once again I repeat I'm a review whore.

The next day:

Olivia awoke at her desk, at first she didn't know where she was but then she realized she'd fallen asleep at work. She craned her head up, it was sore from sleeping in an awkward position the whole night, and she didn't feel very rested either. She gazed up at the clock; it was still 5:00am.

It seemed to take a painfully long amount of time to get out of her chair; she made the slow walk to the washrooms. By the time she got there she still was half asleep, she tried turning the tap on but it seemed to be jammed. Frustrated she tried the next tap and then the next but they were all broken.

She willed the water to come rushing out the tap and suddenly with great force it did. She smiled and splashed it onto her face; she was as awake as she was going to get now. She tried to turn the tap off with her hands having already forgot how it was jammed. Her waking mind gingerly touched the rushing water and with a great shock she realized the water wasn't coming out of the tap, it was just water falling from thin air.

"What the…" she muttered, well, she thought, that explains how there was water without me turning the tap on, but think Olivia! Where's it coming from? It cant just appear like that can it? Ahhh god the sink's overflowing…well this is obviously the start of another interesting day. "Come water that's enough, go away water…" she said feebly she wasn't trying to talk to the water she just wanted to comfort herself, okay…hey wait the water is gone…wait what? Okay Olivia you're obviously dreaming…wake up!

It was then that a thought occurred to her, if she was dreaming she could do anything right? She smiled slightly, time to let the real me out, she thought no one was going to arrive for a while anyways. She commanded water to come and go, it appeared wherever she willed it to be, over her head it fell soaking her, she hadn't had this much fun since she was a small girl, even then with a mother like hers fun was scarce. Still there was no time to think of troubles right now. She made the water twirl in circles, made it come in droplets like it was raining.

For a brief moment she wondered if someone had slipped drugs into her food and if she was just really high, but she dispelled that thought and instead rolled around on the flooded floor, well, she reasoned with herself, dream or no dream this floor needed to be washed anyways.

Suddenly she felt the water rush pass her; she looked to see where it was going. With a slight shock she realized someone had opened the door to the bathroom. The detective awkwardly stood up, this is my dream, no ones supposed to come…right? She thought. She looked up to see who dared invade her dream; it was Casey who was looking at the soaking detective with her mouth opened, "Olivia," she said at last, "Well um had a little trouble with the tap I see."

Olivia pinched herself, "I'm not dreaming am I?"

"What on earth are you talking about detective and why are you on the floor, and also mind explaining why two feet of water came rushing out when I opened the door, somehow I don't think it all came from a broken tap."

"Well basically I made it all kind of…appear."

"You know I'll take this moment to point out how ironic it is that you were calling me crazy yesterday…well I'm gonna leave now and pretend I never came here nor saw you. But I must say you seem different Olivia, I mean other than…uh this." She said gesturing around the room.

"Yeah well you know people change and up until now I thought I was dreaming…anyways nice seeing you again Case' buh-bye!" Olivia said before scurrying out of the room, I better have a change of cloths in my locker, she thought.

He could feel it the black rage inside of him as he saw the seen before him unfold. Elliot rushed out of his car, it was still 5:00am, no one else was outside, and he was the only one who could act as the hero today. A young girl no older than Maureen was being mugged or worse he thought grimly. He raced over, "POLICE PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" he yelled, instead the guy pulled out a knife and put it to the already unconscious girl's throat.

"O yeah? What you gonna do? Can't shoot me, else this one dies." He said in a raspy accented voice.

"Put the girl down." Elliot said dangerously, but the man didn't instead he moved the knife slightly cutting the girl. That was what it took to set the black rage free, Elliot's eyes although he couldn't see had become completely black and strange black symbols were appearing on his skin, "BURN!" He yelled. The man gasped and dropped the girl; his hands went to clutch his chest where a black and blue fire seemed to have mysteriously sprouted.

"W-what are you?" He gasped, the strange fire quickly spreading across his whole body, he ran in circles and then collapsed to the ground a few meters away and slowly turned to ash.

His eyes became their normal blue and the black marks disappeared, Elliot stared dumbfounded at the pile of ash that the wind was now picking up, he tried to reason with himself, he couldn't of possibly done that, but he remembered the look of pure terror on the mans face and somehow knew it was his own doing. He couldn't help but shiver at the thought that he'd just killed someone, but how all he had thought about was his rage…but he'd said that word burn and that's what the man did.

Experimentally he picked up a small stone, "Burn." He said, the black and blue fire didn't appear but the stone did grow warm in his palm, the rage was what brought that fire though he realized. I can't get angry anymore, can I? My own rage is it's own force, and it's dangerous.

He realized with a shock that the girl was still lying on the ground, the cut to her neck wasn't serious but it would need stitches. He reached for his phone; she'd was still going to need to go to the hospital either way. He dialed 911 and told the operator a young girl was just mugged and needed medical attention before telling them where he was.

He could never tell anyone about this, but he thought looking at the pile of ashes, with no trace of gasoline in them, no one would even guess that…

Munch took the day off, he not only looked younger but he felt it too and he wanted to enjoy the youth he'd thought he'd lost. He decided to go buy a new suit, might as well make it a good one too, who cared if it was expensive? Spring had come like a promise for better times, his life seemed strangely perfect because he realized he was where he was meant to be, and who knows with his new youth maybe he could even get married…again, he had to smile at that thought, even he had to laugh at the fact that he couldn't keep track of how many divorces he'd had over the years.

Of course being able to read minds was just a little bonus, he wasn't exactly going to advertise that he had a new ability but he could at least have a little fun, he took of his glasses, it wasn't something that the old Munch would do, but it was the way to hear what people thought so what harm could come right? The thoughts of others came rushing though his head:

-I'm late…oh shit still late…shit-shit-shit…

-I didn't know cheese came in different colors…

-My hair smells like coconuts.

-Shit I'm early.

Having heard enough of other peoples thoughts Munch quickly put his glasses back on.

Fin went in to complain to the coffee shop manager that his coffee was cold. In turn he was given a free coffee and a donut. He munched on his donut in his car then tried to take a sip of his coffee. Nothing came out the cup felt freezing cold. He pried the lid of and peered inside to his disbelief the coffee was frozen solid, "Stupid lazy ass coffee shop." He muttered, he glanced at his watch, it was time to get to work, he through the coffee out the window and drove away.

"Hey 'Liv nice cloths." Elliot said upon seeing Olivia when arrived that morning, Olivia hadn't managed to find a dry pair of cloths and managed to mutter a "hi" to Elliot in return. Elliot seemed distant that day but Olivia didn't notice, after his divorce he was always like that. "Uh 'Case why are you here?"

"Because I'm not crazy and Olivia can vouch for that, anyways it's time for a little meeting, I think it's obviously we all have a few new special gifts that we'd better share with everyone, but where's Munch?"

"Called in sick."

"Oh…" Casey said something like disappointment in her voice; "Well I suppose he did already kind of tell us about his gift yesterday."

"Oh really?" Olivia said, "Oh wait that whole being younger and able to read minds thing…well anyways guess what…I can make water appear and well control it…" she said, Fin couldn't help but notice her voice didn't seem so monotone today, she herself looked healthier and like a weight had come off her shoulders. "Well that sounds even weirder when I say it…"

"Be proud of the gift you got 'Liv" Elliot said, "You're lucky to have water, I got fire, fire only destroys but water brings new life, and is the source of all life."

"Elliot…"

"I'm serious 'Liv, you're gift is gonna bring joy to the world and mine'll just destroy it." He said thinking of earlier that morming and at the same time pondering over how strange of conversation they were having.

Olivia wasn't the only one who was more than uncomfortable, "Well I think I freeze stuff." Fin said feebly.

Casey muttered, "Whenever people insult me or try to hurt me a minute later worse things end up happening to them…" desperate for a change in subject she said, "Well what's uh happening with the case…" Hey the first four letters of my name are "case" she thought, how ironic.
