A/N: Why hello everyone. Sorry for the late update I am sick so I was asleep all day yesterday. Aren't you guys so proud of me for not dying. Hmm...yeah. Also I typed this chapter shorter than I have it written in my notebook. My brain doesnt function properly when I'm sick so bear with me. I woke up just so I could give all you amazing persons a chapter. In other news, I got ice cream! Here's your update. Enjoy.

I do not own The Outsiders. If I did Johnny and Dally would have never died.

I looked over to the lady. I don't know her so I don't really know why she is wanting to speak with me. She stood up and walked over to me.

"Hello I'm Doctor Langston Montgomery,call me Langston" she offered me her hand. I gently took it "Are you from the state because Darry didn't do anything. Neither did me or So-" Langston instituted me, "No-no-no. I'm here on personal matters."

i nodded, still confused as to why she was here. "Do you mind if I spoke to Ponyboy alone?" Se directed towards Darry. He nodded in agreement and stepped outside,followed by Soda and Johnny.

"Do your brothers know?" She looked at me intently. Her stare sent shivers down my spine.

"Do they know what?" I was more confused than Two-bit usually is.

"Your gift," she explained, "the one I gave you. You can control time right?"

i didn't answer her, not wen a simple nods or shake of the head. She gave me that? I have never seen her before today so how can that even be possible.

"How did you give it to me?" I finally spoke aloud.

"I was in my lab. The machine I was working on backfired. It sent unidentified atoms into the air, creating a random storm. I saw you in the newspaper. You were struck by the lightning from MY storm. I started doing research. I took it apart and examined the, um gel to put it in simpler terms. Yesterday I found out what happened and that brings me here. Ponyboy, when you got struck, something entered your blood stream and connected itself to your DNA. That's how you can control time. Because of me."

I found myself sitting dumbstruck. She was the reason I was different. She was the reason I have to keep a secret from the whole gang."Okay," was the ony word that found it's way out my mouth.

"I want to take you to my lab. I want to see how your power works, and I could help make you do you say?"

"NO!" I yelled before I could even think about it, "I am not going with you!"

Darry shot through the door. He looked at me, then her, and back at me. "What's wrong." He demanded.

"I want her to leave," I ordered pointing to the door, "Leave!"

She left without another word. Johnny and Sodapop walked in seconds later. I guess they let Johnny stay to avoid his old man. Darry looked at me expecting an explanation. I looked at Johnny then turned my attention to Sodapop.

"Guys," I could feel the room getting hotter, "I have something to tell you."

A/N: Another cliffy, but you guys more than likely know what is going to be in the next chapter. Im so so so very sorry I missed yesterdays update. I'll make it up to you guys when I can. Please don't kill me. I got almost the same exact thing from everyone so I am only going to do one reply to everyone.

1. Sorry for the cliffhanger, but you'll have to wait for this one too.

2. I would never make Johnny think Ponyboy is crazy. I like their friendship way too much to do that to Ponyby.

3. Doctor Langston Montgomery was inside in case you couldn't tell.

4. Her is your update. Just for you. Nobody else. Just you.

P.S. I am listening to Panic! at The Disco's Hallelujah. Not very important. Just thought you should know. Farewell my Frutata's. I don't know what a frutata is. Just accept it.
