Overusing

When the fight ended I ran to Layla to see if she was okay. In matter a fact she was, she was not hurt or burnt. If I didn't know any better, I would say Warren never intended to hurt her, just get her out of the way. Looking at Warren again, despite the anger I still felt for me and for Layla, I couldn't help noticing that maybe, just maybe, there was more to Warren Peace than what meets the eye.

Principal Powers showed up and gave us a speech about the correct use of one's abilities, after, of course, giving me congratulations for my newly gained powers. During the rest of the day, everyone suddenly appeared to know me and talk to me, like I had started suddenly existing. I was a Stronghold again.

I didn't like that very much but what could I do? My friends still acted the same way around me and that was the only thing that mattered.

When I arrived home, however, I was welcomed by antagonists. My father seemed happy, well, that was to say the least, he was thrilled by my powers matching his. However my mom seemed worried that I could use my powers incorrectly, like she had already heard.

– Young mister, it is great that you finally have powers but I don't want you to use them to attack people during lunch or you will be into serious troubles! – My mom warned in a serious and threatening voice.

– But he attacked me first… – I replied.

– Wait a second, for what I have heard, you made fun of him! – My mother argued.

– But it was not me… – I was about to say but my mother interrupted me again.

– No buts.

Then my father blinked to me in a companionship way and his face turned serious, angry. – Dear, Let me take care of this. – He said in the most serious voice I had ever heard him use, even my mother seemed surprised.

– Okay. – She said, living the room.

In the moment she left, my dad's face relaxed and he smiled once again.

– I didn't know you could talk like that. – I said surprised.

– There is a lot about me you don't know, son. – He said.

– Where are we going? – I asked when made me signal to follow him.

– To a very special place…
