It was time to get out of bed after week of leisure full of sleep without moving out of the bed for over a week. She had been to scared to go out, and she was refusing to actually tell somebody. The experience she had gone through in the past month, completely put fear on her mind wherever she went.
She had been spending the past week locked in her bedroom, getting food sent up by her housekeeper, and surfing the Internet with her laptop in bed. She did not want to go out anymore. She feared going out. She feared Dr. Myner.
"Dylan, get ready we have to go to the annual Block's Christmas Party" Merri-Lee called. Dylan twitched her mouth, not wanting to get up, but soon she had to, so she did.
She took off the bed covers,from her body, and walked to the bathroom, where she turned on the shower, took her clothes off and jumped in. She started off with her hair, shampooed it with a Frederik Fekkai glow shampoo, conditioner, and finally exfoliated with the loofah. When she was almost done, she realized she hadn't shaved in weeks, so she took out a new pink razor, and started shaving.
She run it from the calves to the knee, and carelessly cut her skin too deep. Shit. The blood was all over her legs, and she had to wash it off with the running water. She rinsed it, and shockingly didn't find anything. What was going on? She was 100% positive that she saw blood.
What if... What if the experiment had worked? What if she was like Claire in Heroes. What if she had super freaking natural powers? Dylan grabbed the razor, and cut herself again on her knee.
Blood started streaming, and there was a sharp pain that immediately disappeared after a few seconds. She washed the blood away, and again she saw no scar, no blood, nothing.
Dylan quickly hurried out of the shower, wrapped her body with a bath robe, and tied her hair with a towel, in a comfortable turban that held her hair together. She opened the bathroom door, and ran to her desk to find something sharp. She found a pair of scissors, and reluctantly stabbed herself on her hand, shouting as she bit her lip.
"SHIT" She murmered after she shouted. She covered her blood with the bathrobe, and when it looked like it stopped bleeding, she checked her stabbed hand.
What she had feared had come true. She had powers. Could that be possible? She had to change fast and talk to the other four. She had to discuss this. See if they had the same symptoms.

The annual party at the Block's was beautiful as always. The party planner did an outstanding job with the decorations and the food was astonishing. The color theme was red and golden, there were girls in skimpy Santa elves outfits serving champagne and appetizers. The tables were covered in white tablecloths with golden trims, and on top of it there were golden and crystal plates and matching cups. There was some modern Christmas carol on the background, softly blasting from the overpriced Bose sound system.
Massie Block was greeting all guests in front of the door with her parents, she was dressed in a chic silk red Nicole Miller inadequately short dress which oustanded against the elegantly and politely dressed guests.
As Dylan entered the Block's exquisite mansion, Massie already sensed the worry in her best friend's face. Her smile curved upside down, causing a frown. She looked exquisite though. Her body was clad in a David Meister one shoulder white goddess dress, which made her look thinner than she was. Or did she lose weight?
"Hey Mass" She greeted. Thinking about it, this was the first time she saw Dylan since the rescue. After she fainted, she was taken to the White Plains Medical Hospital. She was taken in for a check, and so were the rest of the group. Massie had been released the same night, Dylan stayed the night and went back to her Westchester home the morning after.
They contacted each other on MSN Messenger, and talked on the phone twice, but she never got to see her. During the 'You're Safe' party Alicia threw them, she did not attend. Neither at the reunion in the Slice of Heaven.
"Hey Dylan, you look fantastic. How are you?" Massie greeted back and kissed her on the cheek.
"I need to talk to you Massie" Dylan whispered. "And the others"
"Okay, meet me in my room. They're all at the patio, bring them up and meet me in twenty minutes. I need to finish greeting all the guests" Massie whispered back, ready to greet the Van der Bilts. Dylan nodded with agreement.
After twenty straight minutes on saluting the invitees, Massie Block managed to get away from the party crowd and walked towards her room where she saw Chris and Cam who were dressed down in tuxedos and Olivia who was dressed in a Vera Wang silver foiled strapless dress. Dylan was sitting on a bed as she sipped her drink.
"What did you need to talk about?" Massie asked as she abruptly closed the door and stepped on the expensive Iranian carpet so she could arrive to her bed and join Dylan.
Dylan showed everybody present in the room Massie's scissors and immediately got to the point before anybody could object to her future actions. She stabbed the palm of her hand as deep as possible and moved it around so she could make a scar. Everybody started shouting in pain just by looking at her.
Massie gasped, Cam covered his ears for no reason, Olivia shrieked, and Chris was the only one who had the sense to run towards her and get the pair of sharp scissors out of her hand.
"What is wrong with you!" Chris shouted in a face completely shocked. He took out the white napkin which was carefully folded on his tux's pocket and covered the bloody palm with it so it could absorb the blood which was flowing and covering Dylan's pale hand.
Dylan wiped the hand with the Armani napkin and lifted up her hand, which was just a little bit dry with blood but hand no scar. Nothing. It looked perfectly fine.
"Oh my God" Massie whispered in shock.
"Is it..? Is it really happening?" Cam asked, confused.
"No scar... Oh my God... It's working.." Olivia whispered. Chris looked at her hand as he held it with his own big hands, his eyes wide open with curiosity.
"Did any of you discover anything like this?" Dylan asked, trying to sound hopeful. She already expected the answer by their reaction. Everybody shook their head to mention a no, except for Cam who nodded.
"What?" Everybody asked.
"I was jogging" Cam started, sitting on the bed as well. "And... Well, that's what I have been doing in the past week, jogging, boxing... Well, I go check if the application letters had arrived, and I find a small and light letter for my cousins' wedding. The wind blows and the letter flies away, causing it to fly away. I run as fast as I can, and suddenly I find myself in front of your the little park, like miles away from my house with the invitation on my hand. I then run back home as fast as possible, and I am back home in less than one second"
"Supernatural Speed" Chris certified. Cam nodded. "Supernatural speed, and Accelerated Healing"
"So this means the formulae they injected on us actually worked." Massie said in a search for a confirmation. Olivia's nod did it. "So we are supposed to be developing powers by now"
"I guess so" Cam nodded.
"Shit."
