"Omg, I haven't seen you in ages!" Stacie yelled excitedly and stood up to hug Beca. She notices Beca wince and looked down. "You have a huge cut on your knee, how did you not notice it?"
Beca looked down and saw the cut. Remembering the fight that happened earlier. "Oh it's nothing."
"Oh my god, how are we so stupid? We forgot she was hurt" Now it was Chloe who was worried about her for some reason.
"Really, It's no…" Beca was interrupted by Stacie before she could finish
"Don't you dare say it's nothing. That a really big cut. I seriously wonder how you forgot you had it." Stacie said as she examined it "CR would you mind helping her"
"Sure" Beca just watched as CR put her hand on her knee and it started to glow slightly while the wound closed. "Wow"
"Oh, yeah I'm CR and my power is that I can heal myself or someone else" CR held out her hand at Beca
"Beca, telekinesis and a little bit of telepathy. allthough I don't know how I have it"
"Cool" CR said and went back to sit by the table.
"Okay, then. You know a few people already but let's sit down so we can get to know each other a little better." Chloe smiled very brightly and motioned for Beca and Jesse to sit down. There was a seat between Stacie and Chloe and Beca took it. Jesse took the seat next to Benji and Aubrey. They chatted about their powers and told stories about their encounters with the SFUO.
"So, how do you two know each other?" Chloe was curious and finally asked.
"You wanna tell em'?" Beca asked Stacie. Stacie knew why Beca didn't want to tell the story because it ment bragging about her own powers
"Sure. So we met in the first grade. Jesse was still a little baby and a very cute one." Stacie cooed at him and he blushed out of embarrassment. "Anyways. I was getting bullied a lot since I hadn't had my powers yet. One day when the bullies had pushed me to the ground, they were yelling names at me and one of them raised their fist to punch me but out of nowhere the bullies flew like literally 10 meters away. I was so shocked at what happened that I didn't even notice that this small girl was offering her hand for me to stand up. I took her hand and ever since then we sticked together. I had my powers at the end of school year and could now pay Beca back for what she did for me. But I never got the chance because no one actually bullied us after what Beca did, which was amazing! But yeah, I had to move after a few years and we never saw each other again. Until now!" Stacie finished with a smile
"Wow, that was one epic story about meeting someone" Fat Amy started on the opposite end of the table. Beca had learned why she called herself that and laughed a little awkwardly about it with her earlier not knowing how to actually react to the reason for the name. "Not as cool as mine though. I was wrestling with a wild dingo and I won at the end" She told us.
"Who did you meet?" Jesse asked while raising an eyebrow
"Oh, the dingo" Amy said matter of factly and made everyone laugh.
"Anyway, so what have you been up to?" Stacie asked Beca
"Well, um, uh things went kind of down hill after you moved away but I finished middle school and went through the horrors of high school but I really don't wanna talk about it right now" Beca said with a small and sad smile. Jesse knew what had happened and changed the subject pretty quickly after what Beca said. They talked about all kinds of stuff and the rules around the house. The time had gone pretty fast and Beca excused herself to go to her and Jesses room. Chloe noticed her tired appearance and let her go.
Beca laid on the bed and listened to music while all the memories from what happened after middle school came up. She remembered her graduation and then a few weeks later they had gotten the news about their mother having cancer. It had progressed for a while now but she hadn't had any symptoms so no one didn't even notice. The doctors had told them that she had only two months to live. Beca and Jesse had cried and hugged each other while their grandma had comforted their mother. Their mom died two weeks before school was supposed to start again so their grandma let them be at home for a week more before telling them they had to go someday anyway. Jesse was going back to elementary school and Beca starting in high school
Beca hadn't made any friends at all during the four years there. She would have needed Stacie at this time since she got outed by someone at her school and got bullied for a while but when somebody bullied Jesse for being her sister she had snapped like with Stacie and used her powers which resulted in the bullies flying further than Stacies because of her powers developing. They were never bullied again at school because they were actually scared of Beca now.
Once Beca had graduated she helped her grandma at home and went to work to keep the house. She and her grandma were very close during that time. Once Jesse graduated middle school he too looked for a job right after but didn't find any because of his age so they switched and he took on caring for their grandma while Beca worked. The death of their grandma happened at night when everyone was sleeping and they found her the next morning. Beca had been stoic while Jesse cried and hugged Beca. Beca cried at the funeral though and all of their collected money went to arranging it. 'They had been given a notice that they had to move out in two months. They had been looking for a small apartment for about a month but hadn't found any.
One night Beca woke up to a crashing sound and took a baseball bat from next to the bed and went to search where the sound came from. She crouched against the wall under the window next to the door. She looked out and saw 9 guys waiting like some SWAT team outside the door while one of them was walking back to the car. She had quickly realized that she had to get Jesse and run for their life. She packed a few essentials and took the bag their grandma had collected for them if they ever came in contact with the guys from the hospital again and had to make a run for it. She had the stuff and woke Jesse up. They heard the door fly open and crash to the wall with force. They jumped out of Jesse's bedroom window and ran for it. Jesse could teleport but he didn't know how to set a specific location to where he would actually teleport but they used his ability anyway.
They found themselves in some random city and just went from there. All of that had happened like 3 years ago so they had basically been on their own for 7 years. They had a lot of run ins with the S.F.U.O after what had happened but always had gotten away. It was weird how they had always found them at some point. Jesse had never been to high school and Beca has had to teach him some of the most basic stuff she remembered from that time. When Beca had turned 21 she had taken the job from the bar. Jesse was only 16 so he had some small jobs at stores or something but mostly he practiced his powers.
She couldn't have believed if someone said that they'd sleep in a normal bed next year. But here they were.
Beca sat up when she heard the door. It was Chloe who smiled and closed the door.
"Hey, I just wanted to check up on you because you seemed kind of sad after Stacie asked what you've been up to" She smiled a little and sat next to Beca on the bed.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine now. It's just that everything went kind of downhill with my mom and grandma and everything." Beca said before regretting it. Dammit I already said too much. But it's just so easy to talk to her. Why? I don't even know her. WTF? We met like a few hours ago.
"Oh, yeah I get it why you didn't want to share" She looks down and Beca wonders if the always bubbly redhead has her own secrets too. "But if you need anyone to talk to besides Jesse you know where my room is" She smiles and gets up.
"Sure, yeah, thanks. You too" Beca says before reprimanding herself again after she leaves. Why would you say that. You don't do feelings with random people you moron
Beca looks out the window of the room and notices a trail going to the woods. I'm gonna go clear my head. Beca took her phone and headphones and left the room.
"I'm going for a walk. I'll be back soon" She yelled from the front door and leaves.
Beca walks off the trail a little to go on a small hill. There is a log and a small pond there. She sits down and looks around, she can see what's happening around her pretty clearly. Beca decides to try meditating like her mom thought her just in case if her emotions got the better of her and she could not control them because of that. She situated herself comfortably on the log and closed her eyes. It didn't take long for her to feel calm with the environment and she could feel herself connecting with the nature. Her meditation was cut short though because she heard a twig snap. She opened her eyes and noticed that the water had small drops coming out of it before falling back into the pond. Wait… did i just do that? She didn't get to dwell on it for too long because she saw three men in suits just a few feet away. One of the men caught her eye and they ran towards her.
"Well, I guess it's time to head back" Beca said and ran towards the path she came. Or so she thought. Fuck. where am I? Maybe I should call Chloe. Beca kept running and noticed the men were getting closer. She ripped a tree from the ground with her powers and threw it in front of the men to slow them down a bit so she could find Chloes number.
"Hey, What's up, you okay?" Chloe answered
"Oh, um, I have three SFUO guys running behind me and I think i'm lost in the woods."
"Oh, crap, shit, wait can you give me some kind of sign of where you might be?" Chloe suggested
"Sure, look out your window and I'll throw a tree again" Beca said while running
"Again?"
"Oh, yeah, I threw a tree a few minutes ago to slow them down" Beca said like it was nothing
"Oookaayyy, sure. I'm at the window. You should throw a few so I know the direction you're running to"
"Sure," Beca said and threw a few trees at the men again "so you see me?"
"Yeah, you have the right direction. You need help?" Chloe asks concerned
"Uh, no I just needed to know if I'm running to the right direction so I can take care of them on the way." Beca said before a crash could be heard and then the phone was dead.
"FUCK, You broke my fucking phone!" Beca stopped and yelled at the men. "Well come on then fight"
Chloe had been worried after the crash that something had happened to Beca so she asked CR and Aubrey with her to go help. What they didn't expect to see was that Beca was completely fine and... floating? Her eyes were glowing too and she was controlling a huge rock. The rock hit the ground with a big thud and it released a small earthquake which threw the men down the hill. Beca fell to the ground and saw Chloe, Aubrey and CR just standing there, eyes wide. "Hey, guys… sorry for worrying you" She said before collecting the pieces of her broken phone.
Chloe was the first to get back into reality "Are you okay?... And when the hell did you start to float and get all glowy eyed?"
"Yeah, i'm fine." Beca said while walking towards them "And I don't know where that came from. I'm just as weirded out by it as you are"
"Do you feel more drained than usual?" Aubrey asked
"Maybe a little but not much." Beca says thoughtful
"Well we better get back anyway. The men could come back anytime" Chloe started "Let's try to figure out tomorrow what happened with you here" She finished with a smile and squeezed Becas hand before letting go. Beca missed the feeling right away but tried to look neutral about it.
"Yeah, I'm going straight to bed after this" She laughed
