Power, part B-
Alex, James, Art, and Kako were all sitting at the local pizze place. They were all laughing catching up on each other's lives, and having a good time. Except for Kako. She didn't really know Alex, yet it was more than that. Laughing at a joke, Alex responded, "...And then you threw the ball straight atCoach Burlins! Haha!" James and Art laughed, saying, "How do you remember that!"
Kako nodded, and looked in another direction, drinking her soda. Art laughed and smiled and didn't noticed. He was busy gazing into Alex's eyes. Alex was staring back. James noticed this stare, and noticed Kako and quickly said, "ahem Al, why don't youask Kako about herself!" Kako and Alex both said, "Oh no..." Kako said, "Ummm, Alex I'd much rather hear the rest of your stay at Littleville." "Smallville. Yeah, I know ,it sounds really boring, but it was weird. Meteor showers aglore, that's why we moved; the meteor showers made metahumans."
Kako said, "You don't honestly believe that?" Alex nodded and siad, "Yeah it was on the news. A bunch of people with different powers." Jeams said, "Wow, so those freaks are in other places too." Art said, "People with other abilites aren't freaks!" The three just stared in silence. "ahem It depends on how you use those abilities. Gifts. They're gifts." Alex nodded weirdly saying, "Okayyyyy, umm, well, those gifts often came with pschotic breakdowns, mental delusion, and overall craziness. Most of the time. But let's not dwell on that. What about you Kake? You still friends with Princess Melinda?"
"Princess?" said Kako offended. "Yeah. She was always the queen of our grade, even in elemntary school. How is she? Still bossing you around." Kako was disgusted. She said, "Yeah, andI think the Princess is begging for me to go home." She got up and walked away. Art got up and tried to get her to stay, but ended up saying, "I'll catch ya later Alex!" James just shook his head, and Alex nodded.
Alex was walkign home by herself, and noticed another car was in the driveway. She walked in and saw her Dad, shaking, terrified at someone else in the room. "It was a GAMBLE! You lost, that's IT!" Alex walked in and said, "Dad who are you-" "THAT WAS BEFORE THE OTHER METEOR SHOWER! I AIN'T GOT NO HOUSE, NOT ENOUGH MONEY, BUT WHAT I DID GET-" the man shot a powerful vibration from his hand at the wall, knocking it over, and nearly missing Alex. She looked shocked and the mans said, " I also got a meteor power. So you're gonna GIVE ME THE MONEY!" The man looked at Alex and grabbed her. While she was shaking, he said, "...or your daughter gets it." Alex's father said, "No! Tony, you can't-" "Oh I CAN! AND NO POLICE! I'LL BE BACK IN TWENTYFOUR HOURS, THAT'S PLENTY OF TIME!" Alex tried to get away, but Tony put up his hand and another quake was visible. "You're not goin' anywhere girlie..."
