Showdown….Or Is It?

When they appeared in the parking lot, Zeilia had passed out from overuse of her powers. "Zeilia? Zeilia wake up. Rise and shine." Jonsey said, trying to wake her up. "I read your diary."

"You WHAT?" Zeilia exclaimed, instantly waking up. She eyed Jonsey. "Did you really?"

"Yes I did. And if you don't kill me, I won't go telling everyone." He replied thinking he won.

"If I kill you, you definitely won't tell anyone…But I won't, just because I'm feeling generous." Zeilia said, standing up. "We have to find out where Daymoor is. Who knows what he'll try now. Oh, Jonsey?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to have to erase my diary from your memory. Can't have it slip by accident."

"What? No! I need this information for blackmail! So not fair!" Jonsey started running towards a truck for sanctuary. "If you try to erase it I'll tell."

"Yeah right." Zeilia challenged. "You wouldn't dare risk losing this." She held up a magazine that said: PROPERTY OF JONSEY GARCIA.

"What are you gonna do?" He asked warily.

"Well—if you tell—this." A flame emitted from her other hand; and she was holding it dangerously close to the magazine.

"Don't. You. Dare." He warned.

"Try. And. Stop me." She mocked.

"Okokok, I won't tell. Just, give it back, please."

"Since you said please, here you go." She held the magazine out for him. But then, a bird swooped down from the sky and snatched it away from her. "Okay, you all saw that right!?"

"Saw what?" Jonsey asked innocently.

"The bird!"

"All I saw was you losing my magazine. But I'm sure you can tell Wyatt all about if you two go on a date or something." Zeilia's breath caught in her throat.

"You, you, you narcissistic jerk! You wannabe pretty boy! It was an accident! I hate you, jerk!"

"You already called me a jerk." Smack. Zeilia slapped him, and then disappeared.

"What was that for Jonsey? It's not like she gave it to the bird or something." Nikki asked.

"I don't care. What I do care about is that since it seems like the leader of our group has split, we can go home now."

"Are you crazy?" Everyone turned to see who was yelling. It was Sirra; she had been quiet up until now. "Zeilia is who knows where. Daymoor is doing who knows what; probably plotting something horrible. And all you can think is 'Zeilia's gone let's go home'? What we should be doing is looking for Zeilia. Or trying to find out what Daymoor is up to. For all we know, Daymoor may have already captured Zeilia right now."

"You worry too much, she's probably fine. I mean, she can't go that far…can she?" As if on cue, Caitlin's phone rang.

"Hello? Jake?"

"Hi Caitlin, it seems Zeilia is leaving the solar system. You guys aren't with her?"

"No, she got into an argument with Jonsey and disappeared."

"That's not good. I'll let you know if I find out anything else…Oh, wait, we just got something. It looks like she's coming back, she's landed on Earth."

"Wow she's fast."

"Ok, well I can't track her exact location, so, bye."

"Bye. Wow, that was, odd."

"What happened?" Wyatt asked.

"Zeilia left the solar system then came back to Earth."

"Um, ok, where do you think she is now?"

"Try behind you." Zeilia said.

"Where'd you go?" Jude asked.

"That bird that took Jonsey's magazine was not from Earth. I tracked it down but I'm not allowed to leave the solar system. So I came back."

"Oh, um, ok. There's just one thing I don't get."

"Shocker."

"How come Daymoor just turned on you that one day? I mean, all that happened was you being happy to see Sirra again."

"I never thought about that. Maybe what happened to me at the restaurant, happened to him. Maybe he's being controlled! But how could it last so long?"

"He is part robot, right?" Jonsey asked. "Maybe his robot half is programmed and his human half is the half that can't really take control."

"Jonsey, that is the—" Nikki started.

"Smartest thing you have ever said!" Zeilia finished.

"It is?" Nikki asked.

"It is?" Jonsey reiterated. "I mean, of course it is. Wait, that's the smartest thing I've said? Dang, I need to read a book or something.

"We finally agree." Jen said. Jonsey replied with a small 'humph' and turned his attention to cleaning his nails.

"Sirra, was there anything indicating that he might be controlled?" Zeilia asked.

"Well, he did keep calling me by my mother's name, Lea."

"I see. One more question."

"Shoot."

"When did you move to Earth?"

"About a month ago."

"What should we do now?" Caitlin asked.

"Find a place to sleep, study up on robots, tear our hair out in frustration, have a nice dinner." Zeilia replied with sarcasm.

"Where are we gonna stay?"

"How about the Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel?"

"Where are we going to get the money?" Jen asked.

"Welcome to the Felix High School Science Club."

"Oh great, another team to be on." Jonsey whined. "Why can't you just conjure up the money?" He asked. Zeilia ignored him. "Oh I get it. You tell ONE secret and the whole world's against you."

"Jonsey," Zeilia growled. "stop being stupid, right now. You hear me?"

"Yes ma'am." Jonsey said meekly.

"Good, now let's find this hotel and check in."
