"Frozone!"I yelled again, I was already running.
The bus was on fire, but it didn't look like the fire had reached far enough back to injure the kids yet. Frozone was still staring at the bus in shock. I remembered that his son Ice was part of the new freshmen class as well.
The plants around the bus suddenly began to die all as one and incredibly quickly, Madi, get a hold of yourself!
"Frozone I need you! Ice is in there!" I was close enough to the bus now, and realized that this was going to be difficult, the fire was spreading towards the engine. "Frozone MOVE!" I shouted.
I jumped into the air, pulled a hand in front of my face and broke through the windshield. All of the kids were huddled together in the back, surprisingly calm. I noticed that Mya(the empathy)'s eyes were glazed over slightly. Good girl Mya remember your training from Sixth Sense Class. Our hired bus driver was the only one panicking, because he was too far away from Mya. I shoved him out the window, into a bush.
I looked out the window and saw Frozone was coming, but it wasn't going to be fast enough. Crap Crap Crap…. It was only a matter of seconds until the bus blew, so I moved towards the kids and put a force field around us. This wasn't going to end well; I could sustain my force field under too much pressure….
I counted heads in my little bubble, we were two short… who was missing? I went through the roster in my head, we were missing Jack-Jack and James! Double crap, double crap, double crap….
James and Jack-Jack both had fire powers, they probably started this whole thing. I grabbed at my pocket, for the cell phone Mom had given me last Christmas with the whole family on speed dail…
There! Dash was speed dial number 3. He picked up his phone immediately, and I barely choked out "find Jack-Ja" before the bus exploded. I saw pieces of flaming metal flying towards us, and everything went black.
I opened my eyes slowly, trying to remember where I was. I saw fifteen or so pairs of eyes staring at me. We were sitting in wreckage… oh right.
The wreckage was all iced over now, Frozone's work. I spotted his son Ice, who was wearing very dark shades.
"So, who wants to tell me how the fire started?" I directed my question at all of them, but my eyes focused instead on the trees around us, looking for Dash.
"It was all James fault!" yelled Madi, but she was cut off by one of her class mates, a new kid.
"No, it was that kid with the creepy eyes!" I assumed they were talking about Jack-Jack, as he had grown up he had found a way to change his eye color at will, and his favorite was this brown color that looked unnatural.
"I'll speak with both of them, now is anyone hurt?" I asked.
"nothing serious, none of them are in pain." Mya stated, in her usual slightly creepy way.
"Thank you Mya, good work keeping them all calm in the bus." The other kids exchanged looks; they didn't particularly like it when Mya controlled their feelings.
"Kate, where's Dash? Or Jack-Jack or James?" I asked, Kate had an interesting power, she knew where people she had met before were. She explained it like she could see strings connecting them to her. She was enrolled in my Sixth Sense Class.
"They're all that way-"she pointed towards the woods behind the crash.
"Don't go after them yet, they're still unstable." Said Dillon, he was also a part of my sixth sense class, he could see minor outlines of the future sometimes. I disregarded his advice, they were my students, and my little brother, and I needed to find them.
I turned invisible as I approached the area Kate had pointed at, because I could see more flames.
When I arrived I saw Dash yelling something at what looked like a giant flaming ball, then I realized there were two outlines in it, two teenage sized outlines.
Every time Dash got close to the wall of flames, a smaller flame would lash out at him, singeing his face. I grabbed his shoulder
"I've got this, stop burning yourself." He nodded in the direction he heard my voice from and ran back t the other students.
I approached the wall carefully, nothing stopped me because they didn't seem to notice me, and they were too busy fighting each other to notice a few foot prints.
I created a light blanket of force field around myself, and stepped through the flames. Jack-Jack was in his fire-monster form, and James was simply staring at him and forcing flames to appear haphazardly on his skin. James had the ability to create fires with his mind, but he was similar to Madi in that he had no control.
I made myself visible while at the same time putting a force field between the two, they turned to look at me, James looked furious, and Jack-Jack simply looked sheepish.
"Hey sis." He said awkwardly. James balked.
"You're the principal's brother?" He obviously hadn't counted on that, he seemed to realize how much trouble it was in.
"Come on boys." I said, and placed them both in bubbles of power, purposefully making them both too small to be comfortable.
