Jack: …
Dylan: Hey you ok?
Jack: Yeah
Dylan: I'm sure we will be ok
Jack: I know

1 WEEK LATER

Jack woke up for his normal breakfast rations and headed down to the cafeteria where everyone was waiting. "Hey Jack! Over here!" Jack saw his friend waiting for him, "Jack had an omelet with pancakes while Dylan had a bowl of cereal. The 2 discussed training for the day, "So, I think we should focus on discovering new hidden abilities. What do you think?" Jack shook his head and pointed towards the training room, "We should keep up how we normally do things then worry about new abilities." Dylan seemed kind of let down by this but he figured getting their basic training out the way first as a good start. After breakfast, the 2 went and began training against each other. The other conduits began watching them go at it.

Jack went on the attack trying to punch and kick Dylan who was dodging and jumping back from his friend. Dylan drew back his hand and expelled smoke from it causing Jack to be caught in a smoke screen. Jack looked around but he couldn't see Dylan. In a desperate move, Jack intensified his lightning and caused the smoke to now become a cloud of electricity that only he could walk in. Dylan quickly ran out of the smoke only to get zapped by Jack. Dylan fell to the ground and saw Jack closing in on him. Jack jumped at Dylan and landed on top of him then zapped him once, "I win." Jack helped Dylan up and dusted him off. The group of conduits wanted to test Jacks powers but something happened to him. Without warning, Jack collapsed to the ground and began to spaz out. Dylan knelt down to Jack and quickly began to check his pulse. "SOMEBODY GET MYRA HIS PULSE IS GOING HAYWIRE!" The Hanna and Alex scrambled to find Myra to get help. Dylan looked at his friend who still had his movement's spazzing out. The last thing Jack heard was Dr. Myra come in the room.

Jack woke up on a blank space with nothing as far as the eye could see. He took one step and watched as the blankness started to put things around him. Buildings started to materialize and roads began to emerge. Jack continued to walk through the streets only to find them deserted except for him and one other person. This person had short dark hair and looked to be an adult male. The male wore a yellow and black shirt his jeans were torn and he had a backpack. Jack back away a couple feet causing the figure before him to summon lighting to his hands. Jack was in shock and took off running making the man give chase. With quick thinking, Jack ran into an alley and began a building to get to roof. Thinking he was safe, Jack took a second to rest only to see the man super jump to the roof. The man shot multiple bolts of lightning at Jack who knocked them away. Jack began running again while shooting bolts of lightning back at the man. Without knowing until it was too late, Jack was tackled to the ground. The man put intense lightning on his hands and slowly lowered it to the now cowering Jack. The man got up from Jack and stood over him. Jack looked at the man and slowly got up, "Who are you?" Jack said to the man. The man held his hand out towards Jack who took it hesitantly, "My name is Cole Macgrath. You have my blood in you which gave you your powers and made you a conduit like me." Jack's eyes open wide as he looked at his arms. Cole put his hand on Jack's shoulder, "I have had these powers for years on end. If you want, I can help you discover new abilities for your electricity." Jack thought this over long and hard before nodding to Cole. Cole smirked to Jack and turned away, "We will start tonight, got it?" Jack nodded and watched as Cole ran off and everything started to vanish.

Jack woke up in the infirmary to all the other conduits watching him. "Jack are you ok?" Dr. Myra was hanging over him with wide eyes. Jack nodded and sat up and looked at everyone. Dylan ran up and pulled back his fist. Jack had no time to react as Dylan followed through with the punch landing his fist right into Jacks jaw, "YOU BASTARD! DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Jack got up and nodded to Dylan who pulled him in for a hug, "You're the only family I have. Please, I don't want to lose you man." Jack hugged back and an alarm started to sound causing everyone to run to the control room. When looked at some cameras around the city, some gangs were holding up a bank. Dr. Megan and Dr. Myra sent out Ty, Anna, Hanna and Jack to take care of the problem. The kids got up and went out the laboratory. They began running on the streets while Jack began hoping roofs. When he got to the scene, Jack saw the others tearing up the scene. Anna was speeding past so many thugs and hitting them with neon, Ty was freezing men in their tracks, and Hanna was shooting them with fire. Jack saw one of the thugs run off with a bag of money so he decided to give chase. The thug looked back and saw Jack jumping roofs to get to him so he grabbed an innocent bystander and pointed a gun to her head, "Stay away conduit scum!" Jack put his hands in the air and other people watched as the thug opened fire on Jack who put his arms up in defense. The thug then opened fire on Jack who shot a wave of energy at him. Both the bystander and the thug fell down in a bad injury. People around were booing Jack and throwing items at him, "Go away Conduits!" Jack had 2 decisions: rescue the bystander or rescue the thug. "Please, help me." Jack looked at the bystander and quickly ran to her. He quickly had a flash back to Cole. Cole was kneeling next to a downed bystander and rubbed his hands together then shocked their chest. Jack did the same. Rubbing his hands together, he placed them on the bystanders' chest and gave her a little shock as she soon rose to her feet, "You…you saved me." Jack nodded to the lady then looked at the thug. Jack then had another flashback of Cole. Cole had 2 thugs downed. One of them he subdued and the other he used his powers and bio-leached him. Jack looked at the downed thug and thought this over. If Jack killed the thug, he would only make the people hate him more. If he subdued the thug, then people would have one less reason to hate him. Jack put his hands on the thug and yelled as lightning formed around the thugs' legs and arms forcing him in place, "Get something straight, as long as I'm a Conduit, no street thug with get away with anything." The people around Jack started to clap slowly then picked up the speed. Jack smiled to the people then fell to the ground and noticed his arms starting to bleed out. Cole gave him one last flashback giving Jack what he needed. A broken down car nearby was tipped over and Jack touched it. Yes definitely some energy left in it. He stood back and held out his arms as electricity jumped from the car into his arms healing his wounds. "Thanks Cole." Jack looked into the sky and smiled. Ty and the others came to jack and saw what he had done, "Hey nice job, Jack, I think the people hate us a little less now." Anna gave jack a thumbs up and they left back to the lab.

Dylan: Damn dude I didn't know you had it in you
Jack: Feels good to do the right thing
Dylan: Yeah even the people agree
Jack: And there's more where that came from
