Staring at Myka for a while Pete can't take his eyes off her, "She is so beautiful I can't stop staring at her. Why can't I take my eyes off her? She has been able to call me out on things when I have been stubborn and arrogant no one has ever been able to do that before." He thinks to himself as he stands there in silence staring at her still.
Seeing her move he uses the crutches to move closer to her still she remains asleep on the lounge chair. Closer to her she is still very beautiful and looks so peaceful laying there sleeping.
"Myka." He says softly to wake her up still she remains asleep.
"Myka." Pete says a bit louder but not in an obnoxious tone of voice.
Still she's asleep seeing a chair near by he tires to get it so he can drag it closer to sit by her. "Can't reach it Ahhh I hate having fins instead of legs and feet." Pete grumbles.
"What?" He says in wonder as the chair suddenly moves closer to him, "What now I have telekinetic powers to?"
Not questioning the newfound powers he has he sits in the chair beside Myka just watching her for a minute. Seeing her stir she wakes up to see him beside her, "Pete you're here are you alright you were really pale there for a while but you do look better now."
"Thank you Myka you look better to I mean more rested than before you looked tired. I mean awful hideously tired."
"Don't make me sock you in the arm again Pete." She says warning him in a teasing tone of voice.
"Now it seams I have telekinetic powers to I found I had that power to when the chair was too far away for me to move it to sit beside you."
"Can you show me again try to move that plant on the table."
"Ok." Pete says stretching his hand out to the plant on the patio table slowly it moves closer to him.
"Wow Pete you do have powers this is amazing."
"Whoa you have that right Myka that is amazing." Claudia says from the doorway. "If I may I steal Pete for a bit I have to try to teach him how to control his powers.
"Good idea wouldn't want him to blow up the house while trying to cook something in the kitchen."
"Hey Myka that was a bit harsh."
"Not at all just funny I thought and just think you can turn on the tv with a single thought without using the remote control." Myka quips.
"You always know how to put me in my place." He says leaving with Claudia guiding him on the crutches.
"So doing alright not too dried out?"
"No I'm fine I can stay out of water for a while but after a while I am guessing I'd need to be back in the water again."
"If you need to get back into the water let me know and I'll help you back up the stairs to your room."
"So what's the first lesson?" He asks with a smile.
"Well I think we'll start with control so take a look at the vase on the table and slowly try to move it towards you."
"I think I can do that did it outside on the patio." Concentrating the vase moves slowly closer to him.
"Good job ok now will increase the distance and see if you can move and object from farther away. Try to move that lap on the far table near the sofa slowly and carefully without sending it to the floor."
Looking at the lamp it moves slowly then faster coming close to sliding off the table, "Ok Pete slow it down so it doesn't fall off the table."
"Ok I'm trying I can't it won't slow down a ok now I've got it." Pete says as the lap slows down just inches from the edge of the table.
"Good your showing great control Pete now lets try another exercise of your powers try to move this can of soda on the table make come to you rather than you going to get it."
Looking over at the can on the dining room table where Claudia has her books and several pads of paper the can rocks a bit and then levitates off the table. Floating through the air it floats over to Pete to his open hand.
"Wow you're learning quickly great job today I think that is enough for today let me know if you need any more help with your powers. I may not have powers myself but I can help you concentrate and help you to learn control."
"How did you learn all this?"
"Research mostly and a few movies what don't give me that look what else would I have to go on there is not a record of someone having powers like this I'm just winging this."
"Your funny but it does make some sense Claudia only stories and legends to work with throughout history doesn't seam like there would be much to go on having powers like this."
"Only things I can find are the old stories of Merlin and how he got his powers and old stories of how he was taught to control and use them. But your right it's not much to go on but I am glad to see you're learning well and maybe even enjoying the powers you have now."
"I am as Myka said I don't have to get up to get the remote when I want to change the channel on the big screen TV I have now." He says grinning.
"Very funny you're looking a bit pale time to get this fish out of water back into water." Claudia says teasing him.
"Couldn't resist another fish joke?"
"No I couldn't sometimes it's a little too easy especially when you have fins and well are technically a fish well half fish anyway."
"I'm a little weak help me back up stairs please I am a little weak to go up on my own I need to get back into the water then I'll have my energy back."
"Sure lean on my shoulder and I'll help you back upstairs come on Pete just let me help you and I'll get you back upstairs."
"I just hate being this weak and having fins instead of feet it's frustrating but I have to admit I am enjoying the magical powers. It's like being a superhero this is in a way kind of fun." Pete says grinning.
"I see how having powers would be fun being able to move things with your mind having practically everything at your beck and call. Reading minds I don't know if I would want that power but still it is pretty cool would give you an advantage in a poker game or in gambling in Vegas."
"That's a fun idea I'd win big if I went there with these powers I'd be a millionaire in just a matter of minutes." Pete says laughing.
"Remind me not to play poker with you right now otherwise it wouldn't be a fair game. I'd be broke in a second." Claudia says laughing.
"You would thank you for helping me upstairs I hate being this weak."
"It's alright Pete your so pale I need to get you back into the water quick otherwise you might pass out." Claudia says as she hurries to get him back up to his room.
"I can't stay awake I'm so weak I am sorry Claudia…." Pete says his voice drifting as he passes out on her shoulder.
'Myka I need your help to get him back up to his room." Claudia shouts
"I'm coming Claudia." Myka replies as she climbs the stairs to help.
"Lean him on my shoulder to and we'll get him to his room he is so pale its like all his strength is being taken from him again."
"We need to get him into the water bed I guess you could call it so he can relax there and get his strength back."
Reaching Pete's room they carry him over to the bed and carefully set him into the water, "Careful Claudia."
"Sorry his fin is a little slippery."
"It's alright he is safe here now he shouldn't have stayed out of the water for so long. If he does this again nag him until he goes back up to his room and back in the water."
"You're officially giving me permission to nag him cool." Claudia says with a grin.
"Only when it is necessary otherwise don't be too hard on him. It's our job to keep him on his toes well his fins anyway." Myka says laughing.
"We should get back downstairs to see if we can figure out more of the riddle and find a way to give Pete back his feet instead of fins."
"You go I'll be downstairs in a while."
"Ok should I run out for something to eat for a bit of take out again or should I cook a home made pizza for us?"
"I like your home made pizza its so good why don't you do that its late to be running out besides your still a bit tired cooking something here sounds nice thank you Claudia."
"Your welcome Myka thanks."
Staying with Pete Myka sits on the bed beside him seeing a strand of hair out of place she leans over to brush it from his face. Staring at him for a minute she looks at him seeing that he is truly a handsome man something she had never let her mind consider this before as his annoying boyish behavior at times had driven her crazy.
"Pete you are a great partner and a good secret service agent to I have never said that before as you have driven me crazy with your adolescent behavior at times acting like a little kid no more than four at times."
"Still you are a good agent despite all your childish faults." She says with a soft laugh.
"Myka is that you?" Pete asks as he slowly opens his eyes looking up at her.
"Yes its me and you shouldn't have stayed out of the water for so long you were drying out." She says jabbing him in the arm.
"I know, I know Myka but I was having fun learning how to use my powers I can float things around move things and this is fun."
"Yes it is but you need to take it easy and when you do feel dried out to come back upstairs and relax in the water so you don't pass out Pete."
"It's just a lot of fun having powers like this learning how to control them it's like being a superhero." Pete says grinning.
"That's a cool way of thinking of it despite the fact you now have fins instead of feet but still it is an awesome way of thinking very nice Pete. Still it is cool having powers it would be a lot of fun I agree with you on that minus the fins though."
"When I have legs again it would be nice if I can keep the powers it would be so much fun a new fun way of annoying Myka." Pete says grinning.
"I wouldn't pick on her too badly Pete after all if you ever want your feet back you should be nice."
"Your right Claudia but still it is fun to tease her a little bit."
"Were here let me help you into the water Pete to me it's just a regular bed to you its water so sorry you can't dunk me in the water. I know you were thinking about it Pete I saw that look in your eyes." She says in a knowing tone of voice.
