**Author's Note** Sorry guys about the time it's taken me to get a new chapter up. It's finally winter break and I literally haven't had a break from school in a year. I had Spring Semester straight into Summer straight into Fall. I haven't forgotten this I love this story so much and have so many ideas, just trying to get time with school is unbelievable. So I'm hoping to get at least two more chapters out for this and my other two stories I have going on.
Chapter 5
**Lana's POV**
I woke up and saw that I was in my room. Ughh I have to get ready for work…wait I just woke up from a coma and can make ice come out of nowhere. I started freaking out when I felt someone shift beside me. I sat up and saw that Lise was beside me. I looked and saw that Lenny was leaning against the bed asleep which is rare since he's the lightest sleeper. I also saw Mick passed out in my desk chair. I smiled seeing my family together, even if it's because of me. Lenny calmed me down and tucked me into bed last night. Lise being worried climbed in with me, while Len was watching us he must have drifted off and I don't know about Mick, he wasn't here when I went to sleep.
"You ok Snowflake?" I heard Lenny ask, so he wasn't asleep.
"Yeah, I just realized what happened yesterday. What are we going to do Lenny?" I asked.
"I've been thinking on it all night. We need to figure out what triggers these powers and help you control them," he said standing up.
"How are we going to do that?"
"How did Lise teach you to ice skate?" he smirked.
"Practice."
"Practice along with lots of trial and error. I don't know what's happened to you, but we are going to figure this out together. Now come on I'll cook breakfast."
"You guys couldn't have woken me up?" Lise asked coming into the kitchen.
"You needed sleep sis, it was a long night for everyone," Lenny replied taking another bite.
"How do you think I felt, I slept in a chair?" Mick gruffed taking a sip of coffee. After Lenny and I came out to the kitchen, Mick wasn't far behind.
"It's a gaming chair it cost a lot and is very comfortable. It has all the adjustable stuff to make it more comfortable," I said.
"Have you tried sleeping in that thing?"
"No use Mick, on her days off she's glued to that seat playing video games all day," Lenny said.
"It's not that bad," I replied.
"I asked you to take the garbage out three times and you were so caught up in whatever you were playing you forgot every time I asked," Lise said and I shrugged.
"Ok, well you two do whatever you need to. Mick and I have to run a few errands, then Lise bring Snowflake to six at five," Lenny said standing up from the table.
"What are we going to do? You never let me anywhere near your safe houses." I said raising an eyebrow.
"There's nothing important about six, so I don't mind you being there. What we need is a huge open space so we can figure out how to control the ice," he explained and I nodded.
The two of them got what they needed, said goodbye and left. Lise smiled at me and came over to hug me.
"We're going to help you get this under control," she said and I smiled.
So warehouse six is an abandoned warehouse down by the docks. I dressed in athlete shorts and a tank top since Lise said to be ready for a workout. Lise drove us and pulled up out front of it. I noticed Len and Mick's bikes parked out front also. I followed Lise up to a side door and went in. It was nothing, but a wide open space there was nothing here.
"Right on time," Len said smiling.
"For what exactly?" I asked.
"Practice to control your powers. Based on last night I can tell that they can be manipulated with your emotions, but we need to get it so you control your powers when you choose to. Mick's here for support and to unthaw things if necessary."
I noticed that Lenny was wearing a big blue parka with fur on the hood. I chuckled before a matching one except the fur being white was thrown at me.
"I know you don't like being warm, but this will protect you. Argue about it and I will make you put on the snow pants too."
"Way to shoot down my hopes and dreams," I replied putting it on.
"Your safety comes first to me, hopes and dreams second," he smirked playfully, so I stuck my tongue out at him. "You'll never realize how much we missed you Snowflake."
I smiled and started jumping around in the parka, it's still really puffy since it's new.
"So whenever you're ready, go into the middle out there," Lenny said.
I nodded and jogged out into the middle. Lenny, Mick, and Lise all went into a door in the back. I waited a minute wondering what's going on before I heard Lenny over a loud speaker.
"Since we don't know the extent of your powers the three of us are in a back room here, but we can see you perfectly with all of the cameras. First, we're going to try and channel your energy and see if that works. Focus on your emotions, since for the time being that seems to be the only way you can tap into your powers."
"Easier said than done."
I sat cross-legged on the floor and started playing around with my emotions bringing up memories to evoke hopefully anything. I know there's something there, I can't reach it. After twenty minutes I huffed and laid back on the ground. I laughed seeing the fur of the hood over my head.
"Come on Snowflake, you have to feel something," I heard Lenny say.
"I can't I have literally been sitting here for like twenty minutes and nothing," I said back.
"There's something in you that is doing this you have to bring it out."
"I can't."
"You are the only one who can do it, Lana, we can't help you with this. You are the only one who can find it."
"And I said I can't do it," I said sitting back up, crossing my arms.
"You have to do it."
"What aren't you getting by I can't," I said throwing my arms down feeling angry tears in my eyes.
"There that's it."
"What are you talking about?" I asked feeling my tears fall I looked and my arms seeing snow. Wait…snow?
I put my hand in it and picked it up, it's snow. It's weird like it feels like snow, but I feel connected to it…is that weird?
"Snowflake try and get the connection with your powers," Lenny said.
I sat and played with the snow for a bit to see if I could figure this out. Right now all I can get is that my emotions trigger it. Last night scared so ice, right now upset/irritated and snow, makes sense?
"Lanny try and think when we would play in the snow as kids and see if that helps," Lise said.
I stood up and imagines Lise taking me outside of the home and the two of us running around in the snow. We would have snowball fights with each other before the other kids came out and we would beat them every time. I felt a swirling inside of me, I opened my eyes and threw my arms up as I created more snow.
"There you go Snowflake,"
I smiled I needed to learn to use this energy. I took a deep breath dropping my arms, before raising my forearms. The snow on the ground swirled to life and all of it sat in mid-air. I smiled and lowered my arms again letting it all drop. I put my hands in my pockets and looked up, please help me out, mom.
"Way to go Frostbite, if I didn't see I wouldn't have believed it," Mick said as they all came out.
Lise hugged me and Lenny went to check something on the wall.
"20 degrees, when we got in here it was 68. You dropped the temperature in 30 minutes. I'll have to look at the thermometers on the replay and see what's going. But overall not bad Snowflake."
"How about we go home and I'll make us some hot chocolate and Lenny can make dinner?"
