Heyy guys! So um it's been a long while since I bothered to update, anything. I've been stuck in school and have been sucked in the Tumblr world as well. But I was in the middle of writing the last chapter of ASTR while a few people asked me to update this story first. So I pulled myself together and FINALLY completed one more chapter.
But at least summer's almost here! More time for writing! (Maybe).
I'll try not to leave you hanging so I'll try to update ASAP.
Much love and enjoy this chapter! :D

Kim
"I get super sonic speed guys! Oh yeah, be jealous." Bragged Jerry.
"You do know we all get superpowers right? That's basically why we're here." Explain Eddie.
We we're all eating breakfast together in the room we were first put in when we first met each other. We decided to call it the common room just because it's the one room can all be together in and just chill.
Anyway, we were discussing on what powers we will be receiving later on.
"So speed and reading people's minds, I would like to see someone top that!" Continued Jerry.
Jack laughed, "I get super strength and heat vision."
"Ooo ooo," exclaimed Eddie, "I'm getting invisibility and telekinesis. Whatever the second one means."
Milton rolled his eyes, "telekinesis is the ability to move objects with you mind."
"Really? No way!" Cried Eddie
"Anyway, I got the honor to receive the power of super smarts, not that I need it, and psychometric powers." Said Milton.
We all just stared at him cluelessly and confusedly.
He shook his head, "psychometric means predicting the future, and seeing glimpses of the past."
The sounds of "oh's" and "ah's" filled the room. Then we went back to eating.
"So Kim," said Jack, "what are your powers gonna be?"
I took a bite out of my waffle and spoke with my mouth halfway full, "oh you know, just flying and going through walls and stuff."
During the processes of munching down that waffle and talking at the same time, a piece of it flew out of my and right into Eddie's plate.
"Eww," cried Milton.
Eddie just shrugged and took that piece and ate it. Talk about gross.
Meanwhile, Jack just laughed. "Is it wrong that I'm way more attracted to you now?"
I cocked an eyebrow up, seriously? A freaking piece of food flew out of mouth and he really thinks that's hot? I don't think he knows when to stop.
"Mornin' fellow villains-to-be!" Hollered Rudy.
At least that broke the awkward tension.
Each one of our mentors entered the room quietly,although, Joan gave me a wink just because I was sitting beside Jack.
I just rolled my eyes and continued eating. Like I said before, Jack's alright. He's cute, smart enough, funny and smells really good. But a relationship means, honesty and trust and a bunch of that other stuff couples have with each other.
Don't get me wrong, I may be pretty, but I've never had a boyfriend. It's not because I can't get one, it's because I choose not to. Hell, if you lived a day in my life you'll figure out how difficult it really is. Everyone in my family has to chip in just to place food on the table.
Even my poor little sister has to have a paper route, so we can buy the clothes she wants for her.
Anyway, as you can see it would be very complicated for Jack and I to date. Not that he would want to date me after he finds out I'm just a 'charity case.' His cocky self definitely doesn't want to date me. No matter how many times he calls me attractive.
My thoughts were interrupted by Rudy and the mentors finally speaking.
"Okay so we have decided that you kids get to test out your powers for today." Said Jake.
"Sweet!" Cried Jerry. Him and Eddie high five each other in excitement.
Those two seem to be getting a bit closer together. I wonder if one of them is gay. I probably shouldn't say that, but hey, this is in my mind.
I turned my attention back to the mentors as they spoke. "You will first receive your powers and once you do, each one of you will work with your mentor for the time being. Then after that, you can play around with your powers. Kind of get a feel for them and get comfortable." Explained Rudy.
Milton shot his hand up. Typical nerd, always with the questions. "Will receiving the powers hurt?"
I was a bit curious too. What if the process doesn't work? What if we end up with an injury? What if we die?
I breathed in heavily and then let it out slowly. I also have a anxiety disorder. If I get overwhelmed or start to freakout, I just breathe in and out. I haven't really gone out and seek help for this, mostly because help cost money. I just searched up some way on how to cope with the stress.
This is another of my many secrets that not many people know about. People always say I'm a outgoing, fun person, but really they don't really know who I really am.
I don't think I've been able to tell someone every single thing about me. Sure, there's Grace and I definitely trust her, but I truly feel it's better to just keep things to yourself.
My parents don't even know I have these attacks every now and then. If I tell them, they obviously want me to go get help and help always leads back to the money situation.
I can't risk my family putting their money together just to help me. I never try to be selfish. No matter how much it pain me to not get some treatment.
I hope my family are okay. With me gone they're probably going crazy. I'm not there to keep up with my jobs, so they all have to work extra hard.
I felt a panic attack was going to happen. I breathed in and out, in and out. I raised my hand to my chest, my heart was racing really fast. Someone placed their hand on my back and I screamed. I jumped up from my chair and backed away slowly.
"Kim, are you okay?" Joan asked sounding really alarmed.
I just thought to myself, breath Kim, breath. I crouch down to the ground and breathed. My panic attacks goes away after a good twenty minutes, but they're usually in my bedroom, at night when everyone's asleep. If I ever have one at school , I'd just run to the bathroom and go in the wheelchair stall so people would just think it's a special needs kid.
But now, there's no escaping.
"What do we do? We can't call an ambulance!" Cried Phil in the distance.
"Why not?!" Questioned I think Jack.
"Because if other people find us they'll put us in jail!" Jake explained.
"Well, we can't just leave her like this!" Yelled Jack, "I'll handle it."
Suddenly, he crouch down to where I was and smoothen my cheek and hair for a bit. Jack were shushing me and saying, "it's ok" and, "you're alright".
And luckily, my attack was over. I was finally calm again and breathing normally.
Oh how I wish my life was normal.
Milton
I was a little nervous.
Oh who am I kidding, I am more than nervous, I was terrified!
We all have to enter some big machine to receive our powers for today. Except for Kim though. She got to go rest for the remaining of the day because of the anxiety attack she had earlier.
She seemed so confident and such a fearless girl. I didn't think she would have problems like this.
I am very concerned for her, but Jack on the other hand, is definitely the one who cares for her more than any of us.
Although it has only been a week since we've been kidnapped and forced to take part of this domination, I think I can become good friends with these guys.
I'm not very known as the 'cool guy' at school, so I don't really have a lot of friends.
Just the guys from the A.V. Club and Julie.
Ah Julie. The sound of her name makes me all giddy inside.
I hope she's okay. Goodness, what if Julie finds another man while I'm gone! Julie's faithful, I know she loves as much I love her. But what if she does forget about me?
My thoughts were interrupted by the loud noise from the machine. I looked around and noticed Jerry wasn't here.
I guess he was going first.
Although, the rest of us and I heard high pitch screams from inside of the machine.
I hope it isn't as bad as it looks.
The doors opened and a whole lot of smoke was released out of it. Jerry looked, pretty much the same. He just had a face filled with terror.
"That...was...AWESOME!" Yelled Jerry. "So, where's those powers of mine?" Jerry asked.
"Just test it out." Said Bobby, Jerry's mentor.
"Okay, I'm going to go to the kitchen make a sandwich and come back."
And the second he said that, he was gone in a flash. Seconds later, Jerry arrived back, but with a giant brown boot in his hands.
"Aw man," whined Jerry, "I brought back a boot not a sandwich."
Rudy laughed, "oh we forgot to mention, it's going to take a bit to have your powers settle in. There'll be some problems with them over the course of a few days."
I rolled my eyes, typical to tell us now instead of before.
Each one of us entered the machine one by one. Apparently we're not allowed to talk about what happens in there after we get our powers.
It went Jerry, Eddie, Jack, and then me.
Finally, it was my turn, but I hesitated before going in.
"It's actually not as bad as it is Milton." Jerry explained.
"Yeah, but you screamed while you were in there." I replied.
Everyone laughed, but I wasn't laughing. I was too scared to.
"Hey, the blinking lights scared me!"
I gasped, "there's scary blinking lights?"
"Just go in." Said Phil as he pushed me in and closed the door.
I glanced around the area. There wasn't much, just a small panel.
I tapped the panel once and our names showed up. I tapped on the panel again but onto my name.
It showed a picture of me and then a robotic voice of a woman spoke up, "Milton David Krupnick, you have been assigned to receive the power of psychometric and the power of major intelligences, is that correct?"
"Uh yeah?" I answered.
"Very well." Said the woman, "we will now begin with our process of transferring your powers inside of you."
Suddenly, a green beam scanned me from the top of my head, to the bottom of my feet. It did that a couple times, then the machine started shaking and vibrating and making me move all over the place.
Is this suppose to happen? Maybe it's breaking down. What if already doing this process a few times may have overload it?
Then those flashing lights came on lights came on just like what Jerry have said, but it was still shaking.
This happened for a few seconds and then, I fell to the ground like if whole thing collapsed on me. Although, it didn't.
The robotic lady voice came back on, "your transferring of your powers is complete. It was very successful. You may now step out of the machine."
I got open from the ground and opened the door, all the guys and mentors looked at me with grinning faces. Especially, Jake. My own mentor.
"Wow Milton, you didn't scream of anything at all." Commented Jack.
I smiled, "actually it wasn't even that bad."
"Test you powers out!" Added Eddie.
I thought of maybe trying my intelligence out first, but I decided to try out the psychometric power instead.
I closed my eyes, and focused.
A picture of Julie appeared. Although, it was a bit blurry, so I couldn't see as well. She was sitting at our special bench.
It was the bench at our city park where I have taken her to our first date. Also, it was the place where we had our first kiss and 'I love you's'.
She looked like she's been crying. She removed her glasses and wiped her eye with the back of her hand. She let out a big sigh and another tear rolled down her face.
But before I knew it, I was back with Jack, Jerry, Eddie and all of them.
My faced must have looked shocked because everyone was looking at me with concerned faces.
"So Milton did you see anything?" Asked Jack.
I looked at him for a moment and answered, "no. I didn't see anything."
Jack
I walked down the hallway and stopped at the door. I smoothed my hair back a bit and smelled my shirt. The scent seem to be fine.
I raised my hand and forced my knuckles onto the door. A waited for a moment when I heard a "who is it."
I answered back to the voice to "it's Jack."
The person hesitated a bit and then eventually replied, "come on in."
I turned the doorknob and opened the door. Kim was sitting on her messy bed with her notebook and pen.
She was wearing some light brown sweatpants and a blue tank top. Her hair was up in a normal messy bun.
Man, she looks cute no matter what she wears.
"Hey." I said as I stepped into the room and closed the door.
"Hey." She copied, "how was the transfer?"
I made my way to her bed and sat beside her. "It was good. It didn't hurt or anything, just a little weird."
"Cool." She smiled.
"So, I got you food." I said as I held out the plate of pizza I had. Then handed it to her.
She looked down on it and smiled, "thanks."
Kim felt it a bit and frowned, "it's kind of cold."
I took the plate back and grinned, "I can fix that."
I concentrated on the pizza and then red lasers shot from my eyes. I stared at the pizza for a bit and then blinked.
Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't sizzling like I have expected. It was black and smoke was being released from it.
Wow, I burnt the pizza.
I expect Kim to be disappointed that I burned her dinner, but that look on her face was the opposite of disappointment. She was laughing like crazy.
She looked at my face and stopped immediately. But then, I smiled and burst out laughing as well. We were both laughing together and then eventually stopped.
"I guess I have to work on that a bit."
She nodded, "yeah you kind of do."
I laughed again, and just looked at her. Maybe I can get her to like me. It takes effort right?
To be honest, I never had a real girlfriend before. Sure, I had small flings with girls, but nothing serious. But maybe now, I could get serious. Not only because Km's the only girl here, but mainly because she's different. And I really like that about girls. Them, being different.
"What are you looking at?" Kim questioned.
I blushed, "oh nothing."
I turned my head and then looked back at her again.
I wonder if she has panic attacks like the one this morning on a regular basis.
"Kim." I started. "What happened this morning, does that happen occasionally or all the time."
She pressed her lips together, glanced down and closed her eyes for a brief moment. She lifted her head up, looked into my eyes and spoke, "most of the time really. It's because I have really bad anxiety, but I usually know how to deal with it."
"Have you seek help for it?" I asked. I know I'm being nosy, but I just wanted to know if everything was okay. I guess I could say I cared about her. I don't really know her, but I would worry if something happened to her.
"Uh," she hesitated. "No."
I was surprised, "why not?"
She shrugged, "I don't know. I just never bothered to go out and deal with it."
I shook my head, "Kim you have to do something. You shouldn't be living like this."
She kept quiet right after. I thought she was going to respond, but she didn't.
I got up from her bed and spoke again, "I'll just, go now."
I walked over to the door and took one more look at her. She was looking at the side probably in a deep thought. I made a small sigh, opened the door and exited the room.
I closed the door and leaned against it with my head back.
Wow I am a huge idiot.
Well that's it for now! Please review, they mean the world to me!
Let's talk about season 3 now. It's been really awesome so far. Like ugh, all I want is a Kick kiss (still mad at the one in Karate Games). But Spyfall was so cute and really funny. I'm honestly so excited to see what comes next!
So thank you so much for the reviews (44 awe yeah), favorites, and follows. I appreciate every single one.
And if you ever want to yell at me for taking so to update PM me or send me something on Twitter, which I have provided the username at the top. And by the way, if you do follow me or follow me in the future, I apologize because I take the time on Twitter to fangirl a lot and have a lot rants (on mainly TV shows not life), so be careful for that.
Anyway, thank you so much and I love you all! :D
