Oh yeah, I do not own W.I.T.C.H. or any of the characters, the plot is totally a work of my twisted little mind...

Busted #7: Power is More Power

Will's POV, Monday Lunchtime

At lunch we all agreed, we're screwed. I'd never seen Taranee so angry...even after two days, flames were still popping in her eyes. With both me and her grounded the team could never be at full power, and our parents knew it. Since we brought all the parents in on our Meridian/Guardian secrets, there's no way we can pull any of our old schemes...plus my mom and Taranee's didn't want us anywhere near the other girls.

Our parents could do want no villain so far could - destroy the Guardians. And it's all my fault...all of this started because we were at my house, caught by my mom, because I started having (and greatly enjoying) sex.

What the heck am I going to do? What are we going to do?

I shook my head and leaned over to Matt's shoulder. He responded with a lit peck on my forehead...a small act that meant so much. Why can't my mom see what he means to me? Why can't she see that what we have is real? The last two days without him have made me realize that I can' live without him.

I took a slow breath forcing myself to sift through my chaotic thoughts. Then in a calm tone, I asked everyone, "Okay what do we know? I think we can beat this if we just use our strengths and our strength is that the Guardians are an unbeatable team."

"Hey don't forget us!" Nigel piped in with a grin, "We need a cool group name too, like the 'guyians'.

A group groan escaped as we all agreed that Nigel's 'Guyian' suggestions was just too corny for words, but he was right about one thing: the Guardians were even stronger than ever because of Matt, Eric, Nigel and Peter.

"OMG!" Cornelia's face lit up with devilish glee and we all turned to stare at her. We could only wonder what was bouncing around in her head.

Cornelia continued in an excited whisper trying to keep the conversation private, "You guys I just realized something...we never told the 'rents about our secondary powers only about our elemental ones!"

"Yeah, so what?" Irma asked.

"Well just think about it...if knowledge is power, then power is even more power."

Okay, I just stared at her and pondered just how deep her blond roots went as I said, "Um, Corny that really doesn't make any sense."

"You guys can totally use your powers to get out your homes...I mean Will just think what your mom would have to do if her car broke down – she couldn't bring you to school. She'd have to let you go and come on your own – cause you know she's not going to walk with you. So voila! You have your freedom back."

I felt a surge of hope because Cornelia was soooo right! I took a moment to ponder what Cornelia had said about me and my mom. Quickly a plan began to evolve in my head – being able to got to school on my own was just the beginning. Not only could we handle our own parents, but with some planning and work we could even handle Nigel and Matt's parents!

I looked at Cornelia nodding my understanding. But around the table, our friends were still doubtful. Seeing their faces, Cornelia continued.

Turning with a spectacular smile, she said to Taranee, "Taranee, just think with your telepathy and invisibility, your mom doesn't have a hope!"

I saw the light go on in Taranee's eyes, because she was always 'the good girl' she had never considered using her powers to rebel...heck even attack our family members that want to separate us. Realization began to move through our group.

As we spent the next half hour building a strategic attack plan, aimed at the disgruntled parents, I made a mental note to never severely piss of my kids, especially if they have powers.

First, as a team we began to identify our own parent's weaknesses and our strengths. Then we defined a brilliant manipulative plan that relied heavily on our secondary powers and our ability to become invisible. We figured we could cause our parents so much unexplained trouble that they'd be too busy to torment us.

We made plans for each set of parents. For me the plan was to first target my mom's car – by using my ability to communicate with appliances and electronics, it would be no problem to convince it to pretend to break down. Because the failure would be false there'd be no way she could get the problem fixed quickly as Burt (the car's name) would just keep moving what was failing. Then Taranee would use her telepathy on Mr. Collins to cause her relationship grief.

Next we'd free Taranee. To do this, we decided to go a little darker, starting with a pest invasion – courtesy of me and Cornelia – guaranteed to get Mrs. Cook out of the house and keep her too preoccupied to care where Taranee was or what she was doing. But getting Taranee out of th house wasn't our only goal. Irma and Taranee would use their telepathic and mind control powers to 'gently' work the idea of prosecuting Nigel out of her head.

Once Taranee and I were free then the group would be at full power to better deal with Nigel and Matt's parents. Since they had no idea about how 'special' we are, there would be no need to handle them gently – we planned to use our mental powers full force to make them forget and readily accept Will and Taranee.

Our plan was good and it promised some justly due retribution to our parents. Now the only challenge was to make it all happen before Saturday, so that Irma's wedding isn't ruined.

Yeah, we can do it. I mean come on. We're Guardians. We have wings.

Will's planning something... Check out the other Busted stories, each guardian gets her own story that ties them together.
