I have no real excuse for that other than pure laziness. I would apologize but that doesn't mean anything if I'm just going to keep on doing it. I will get on with this chapter already. *****************************************************************************************************************************************
As they all sat around the breakfast table Randy (Lust) spoke to Jackie as he realized that she still didn't know.
"Jackie, what exactly can your powers do?" He asked her as he frosted his bagel with cream cheese.
"Well, aside from making people feel the emotion of envy I can control dreams and stuff. Does everyone in the family have more than one power or is it just me?" She asked him not really sure where he was even going with this. "Come to think of it with everyone I have met so far we have only discussed what sins we were not what type of powers we have." She was feeling confused by this question the more she thought about it.
"Jackie to be honest, you are not the physical embodiment of envy just as I'm not the physical embodiment of lust." He took a bite of his bagel before continuing.
"If we were to all die people would still feel those emotions, just not as strong as when we're around. We are actually all just amplifiers of those emotions or sins rather."
"What do you mean?" Becky spoke up since she had her morning coffee. She wasn't sure she completely understood him either.
"When other people are around you do they already feel envy?" He asked Jackie, while maintaining a serious gaze.
Jackie thought harda about this and realized that he was right, she really did only amplify what they were already feeling she just thought that she could make people feel envy.
"So you mean to tell me that I never could just make people envious, they had to already feel it in order for my powers to work?" Jackie clutched at her hair as she tried to calm her breathing.
"Jackie?" Tobey tried to reach out to her but she smacked his hand away and she accidentally punched him on the nose causing it to start bleeding.
Tobey clutched at his probably broken nose. "What the hell Jackie?!" He yelled in disbelief that something like this would set her off in such a way.
"MY LIFE IS A LIE!" Jackie shrieked as she attempted to calm herself down once more.
"Is she going to be ok?" Sam asked Randy as he made no effort to try and touch her after she punched Tobey.
Becky rummaged through her purse for something to help Tobey soak up the blood. "Here." She handed Tobey two tampons.
Tobey looked at her like she was crazy.
"Sorry, I don't have any tissues. They will help you absorb the blood that you haven't already gotten on the table." It was true there was some blood on the table but not quite a lot.
"Fine. Thank you Becky for being so thoughtful as to help me out in my time of need." Tobey stuffed them up his nose and they did help stop the bleeding except now the only problem he had was that he couldn't really breathe with through a nose full of blood and cotton. Tobey breathed through his mouth as he quietly ate his breakfast while shooting a worried look at Jackie every so often.
Becky helped clean the blood while Bob fainted at the sight of it.
Now that she had calmed down enough, Randy spoke again. "I'm sorry, I really never meant to freak you out like that. I only wanted you to know the truth."
Jackie thought about it enough and the wheels in her head began turning. "So last night when you made Tobey feel lust...he was already feeling it towards Becky and you only amplified what he was feeling?"
Randy only shrugged. "Pretty much. I wonder why Benedict left that part out."
"Who knows?" Sam wondered as he ate his breakfast. He gasped as he felt someone touching his shoulder length hair. It was Randy.
"I just have to ask Sam, how do you get your hair so soft?" Asked Randy as he caressed his honey toasted oats colored tresses. ( I really don't know what his hair color is)
"I use conditioner but I guess you can say it's 'super' natural." Said Sam as he shook his head back and forth slowly as his majestic hair flowed almost in slow motion.
Meanwhile...
Victoria Best would be lying if she said her summer before college was going great. First thing after graduation, Eileen broke up with her saying that she was too 'clingy'
and if that wasn't bad enough she was in jail once again for using her magic flute and going back to a life of crime. It might have also had something to do with the fact that she and Eileen had been living together since they were both 18. Victoria's parents had kicked her out of the house after she came out to them.
They weren't the best at understanding and they kicked her out without giving her a chance. Victoria wasn't exactly a lesbian but she was bisexual. They told her that it was just a phase and she would get over it. She couldn't help it if she could love both girls and boys.
(Author's note: Remember that I briefly mentioned this in one chapter of Word Girl and the growing envy. It wasn't very long but I did mention that they were dating in that one)
She sighed before it turned to panic as she felt the ground shaking. Her first thought was that it was an earthquake but then she remembered that that wouldn't be possible because of where they lived. She gasped in shock as the roof of the jail opened up and a big green hand scooped her up and put the roof back in place.
"Eileen? Why are you helping me escape?" Victoria asked her, feeling confused and a little scared since it had been years since Eileen had gone green. She didn't answer her until they got to the nearest park and she put Victoria down before shrinking down to her normal size.
"Why did you help me out of there? You should have just left me there to rot." Victoria looked down at the ground as she scuffed her shoe along the pavement.
"Honestly, I'm sorry I ever said any of that to you. It wasn't until it had been a while since you left that I realized I missed you. Where did you even live after you left our apartment but before you went back to jail?" Eileen asked her.
Victoria sighed. "You would have probably found out sooner or later but I just lived with the homeless for a while until I remembered my magic flute and well you know how well that one went." They walked until they came upon the swing set made from Tobey's robots. They each took a swing as they sat there to talk.
"So.." Began Victoria.
"So?" Asked Eileen.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"If I let you come back will you help me pull off another crime? Eileen asked, determination shining in her eyes as she took Vicoria's hands in her own.
"I will if you will have me." Smiled Victoria. They pulled in for a hug and when they were done hugging they decided to go rob a bank.
Kid Math got there in no time.
"The birthday girl working with Victoria Best? Who saw this one coming?" He added the last part sarcastically.
"Oh you are so going to get it." Eileen yell talked in her monster form as she charged toward him.
Kid Math barely dodged out of the way in time. "This is sure to be a long day. By the time I catch these two I will have less time to video chat with my girlfriend.
The duties of being a hero suck."
TO BE CONTINUED...
Thank you for taking the time to even read this chapter. I might make the rest of the chapters like this one...have one half focus on Becky, Jacky and all of them and have the other one focus on different characters. This is the only time I will be writing about Victoria and Eileen because I feel like that was more for filler than anything.
If you have questions or complaints leave them in the comments section. I will see you in the next chapter which can be soon. I love you guys.
