Yay! I'm on a roll! :D

BTW, Kendra is not completely right.

Expect a really long chapter next time. Maybe over 1000 words :D.

Disclaimer and Thanks: blah blah blah

Chris sat down gingerly on a wooden chair, glancing cautiously at Landon, as he walked over to lean on the wall beside him.

"Sheesh!" complained Chris, rubbing his arms. "I'm going to have to get used to losing my powers."

Principal Burns swept into the room through a side door, with an assistant in tow. A little blonde girl pranced in blithely after her,

"Sit down, please, Mr. Crane." She gestured at the seat beside Chris.

Landon smiled coolly. "I'm fine where I am, thanks."

The principal shrugged. "As you wish. This could take a while. Skye?"

"Yes?"

"Can you determine the two boy's powers?"

Skye nodded, her buttery curls bouncing, as she weaved between he desk and chairs, coming to a sudden and inexplicable halt two metres from Chris. Puzzled, she took another step forward abd seemed to be pushed back by an intangible force.

"Mommy, I can't move!" she huffed, as Principal Burns considered this.

"Then one of you must be a shield," she decided, "a physical shield, and a strong one at that."

The assistant coughed nervously.

"Yes, Kendra?"

"Ma'am, I think I have a theory." She hesitated before receiving a curt nod from the Principal.

"Opposites repel each other, like magnets-" here she glanced fleetingly at Chris, "and they cancel each other out to create a negative space, when both abilities are rendered null and void temporarily. If this is correct, then Landon's ability is to repel."

The principal considered this.

"Christopher, please leave the room."

Chris stumbled out, tripping slightly over the Principal's foot.

"Skye, try again." she commanded.

Skye danced over and placed her tiny hand in Landon's.

"He's blocking me. I don't know what it is!"

"Then he's a shield."

"No," Skye's brow furrowed, "there's something else."

The principal turned to face Landon again.

"So what are your capabilities?"

He remained silent and expressionless.

"If there is something you're hiding, just remember, we'll find out sooner or later. You'd better tell us now."

Principal Burns settled back in her chair with a long, hard look at him.

Landon laughed harshly. When he spoke, his words were cold and distinct.

"You'll never find out."

"We'll see about that. Kendra, call Christopher back into the room. Landon, you may leave now."

Landon walked over to the door, exited, and slammed the door so hard that the resulting crash echoed through the room.

REVIEW!
