Ally's POV

The whole mutant camp wasn't really going to work out for us. I actually never gave any thought of living with these kind of people. My friends and I decided to head to Alcatraz again to see Brandon.

Brandon literally was happy when we surprised him. His eyes lit up and he had the biggest smile on his face that I had ever seen in my life.

"I'm happy you guys came," he said. "Guys, I finally have some control over my powers, but it goes on and off a lot."

"Brandon, I want you to know that . . . we're here for you," I said.

"No one has ever been there for me," he said. "I'm just scared that…other mutants might want me dead. You know? Because of my power."

"Brandon, we can't always be there," Austin informed him. "You don't have to be so afraid of other mutants."

"But they're bigger than me. More faster and powerful."

"Powerful?" chuckled Rosie. "Brandon, you're more powerful than the rest of us. You have no idea what you're capable of."

"I do have more power than I expected."

"What is it?" I asked.

"I can take away powers and keep them in my mind. Also, I can give them back."

"You can really do that?" asked Dez.

"Sure, but it does take a lot of concentration."

"What if you try it on us?" said Austin.

"On y'all?" shrieked Brandon. "Guys, what if I can't do it?"

"Come on, Brandon," said Trish. "When we got our powers, we didn't know how to control it at first. It takes time and a little practice."

"Okay. I'll give it a shot."

Brandon clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. He was carefully concentrated on all of our powers.

Suddenly, I felt something funny. Something was coming out of me. Pain. Unbearable pain came through my head and my body. It wasn't just me who reacted to it. Dez, Rosie, Austin, and Trish were all reacting to it as well.

Ripping, burning, pain. I can't take it!

The pain finally disappeared. In the air above of us were five glowing mysterious lights.

"It's our powers," said Austin.

Then, they collide into a bigger form of glowing light.

"Brandon, you did it!" shouted Rosie.

Brandon stopped and smiled at us.

"No, Brandon!" I screamed.

A light flashed before my eyes. All of my senses have suddenly been blocked. What happened to me?

Finally, my senses were coming back to me. I was on the floor.

How did I get down here? I didn't even feel my body hit the floor. Slowly, I got up on my feet so were my friends. Brandon stood there all shocked.

"Brandon, what happened?" asked Dez.

"It exploded," he said. "It hit you all and you guys fell on the floor at the same time. I'm sorry. I thought I had it."

"Brandon, you can't get it right away," said Austin. "It takes a lot of time and practice."

Rosie began groaning and squinting her eyes. Dez asked, "Honey, you alright?"

"No," she groaned. "I have the biggest headache I have ever had. Ugh!"

Something felt strange. How come this feel different? A little too strange and different.

"Guys, something's wrong," I said.

"You're telling me," said Rosie. "I keep hearing voices in my head."

"Voices?" asked Trish. "Rose, what do you mean?"

Suddenly, Rosie unexpectedly begins laughing. I asked, "Rosie, what's wrong with you?"

"When Austin was two, he was a big fan of N'Sync," she laughed. "I'm seeing you as a three year-old dancing in your underwear!"

"How did you know that?" shrieked Austin.

"I'm seeing it in your head. I'm seeing all the embarrassing things about all of y'all!"

"How can you see it, Rosie?" asked Trish.

"I don't know. Guys, I think I'm loosing it again!"

Trish sneezes and morphed into a cowboy hat.

"Trish?" asked Austin.

"How did you do that, Trish?" asked Dez. He took a sniff in the air. "Is something burning?"

"Dez, your hair's on fire!" screamed Austin.

The redhead let out a shriek as he felt his hair in flames. We all panicked as Dez screamed. Finally, his hair went back to normal.

I looked at Brandon. I panted, "Brandon, what did you do?"

"Your powers are in the wrong body," he revealed to us. "When I lost my concentration, your powers just…exploded into mid air and went to the nearest body. Dez has Trish's powers. Trish has Austin's powers. Austin has Rosie's powers. Rosie has Ally's powers. And Ally, you have Dez's powers."

Trish morphed back into her original self and shrieks, "I have Austin's lame powers?!"

"Hey, watch it, Trish," said Austin. "I'll do to you…whatever Rosie does. Yeah, I just need to see how this works."

Austin poked his left palm with his index finger. Suddenly, Austin lets out a shriek of agony and his body spasms out of control as he shocks himself. When he lets go, Austin drops to the floor.

Dez jogs a few steps and stops. He yells, "Awww! I run like a normal person!"

"Calm down, Dez," I said. "Is it really that cool to run incredibly fast?"

"Not just that. It's a bit hard to stop."

"Let's see."

I sprinted in the blink of an eye. In the few seconds I remember, I lost control of my feet. The next thing I knew I flipped onto my back on the floor.

"What happened?" I asked as Brandon helped me up.

"I told you," said Dez.

"I told you," I mimicked. "Who asked you?"

Rosie was in the corner with her fingers in her ears.

"Rose, are you okay?" asked Austin.

She removed her fingers from her ears and stood up. Rosie shrieked, "Help me! I keep seeing thoughts and memories in each of your heads. It's driving me insane!"

Trish came over to her and clings to her shoulders. Trish yelled, "Pull yourself together, woman!" She slapped Rosie across the face.

"Ow," screamed Rosie. "Trish!"

"I'm loosing it!"

"Before all this kills us," I calmly interrupted, "Brandon, do you think you can fix us?"

"I'll try," he said.

"It's okay. Just breathe, relax, and try your hardest, alright? No pressure."

"Alright." He took a deep breath in and closed his eyes.

Honestly, I trust Brandon with this. I know he's young, but it's his ability.

A sudden burning from my body was coming through. My friends and I were groaning in pain.

The glowing lights appeared again emerging from our bodies. All five of them floated the air. At last they flew down back into our bodies.

Did it work? Are our powers back to the right bodies?

"Are we back?" asked Austin.

Trish snapped his fingers and a little flame appeared on the tip of her finger.

"I'm back," smiled Trish.

Austin morphed into Yorkie puppy and said, "I'm back too."

I telekinetically lifted Brandon's entire bed to check. It did float up.

"Guys, I am so sorry," said Brandon. "This is my fault."

"Brandon, don't put yourself down," said Rosie. "Accidents happen."

"You forgive me for giving you the wrong powers?"

"Of course," said Austin. "You didn't have that many friends, did you?"

"No friends. I live in a bunch of foster homes before they found me."

"Why did you have to live in a bunch of homes?" asked Dez.

"There was always a problem with everyone of them, but I was sent to a group home."

"Why were you in a group home?" asked Trish.

"Because of what my foster sister did to me."

We looked at him. I mumbled, "Brandon…what the hell did she do to you?"

"I turned ten during that week," he started off with. "She was sixteen years-old. Sh-She took me to her room and we both laid down on her bed." Suddenly, he started crying. "I didn't want to stay, but she made me. I felt really uncomfortable. She started taking her clothes off in front of me and she was telling me to take my clothes off."

"Brandon, did you know what she was doing?" asked Austin.

"No, I didn't. She was making me do things that I didn't want to do. She was touching me in places and kissing me."

"Brandon…" I murmured. "It wasn't your fault. They still sent you to a group home?"

"It didn't matter whether I was raping or I was being raped. They still put it on my record and no foster family would want that. Can y'all stay with me until I fall asleep?"

"Sure," I said.

—

Back in Denali, the mutant camp was still in the middle of the forest. Woods and Kat were iner trailer.

"Kat, come here," said Woods.

"Yes, Woods," said Kat.

"What were you doing with that shapeshifter?"

"Shapeshifter? You mean Austin?"

"Yes, the blonde. What the hell was he doing in your trailer the other night?"

"There was a snowstorm and he was freezing outside. What was I suppose to do?"

"You want him, don't you?"

"Want him?"

"Kat, you know what I mean by want. You have developed romantic feelings for him."

"I may have."

"Where did you get that necklace from?"

"It's from Austin."

"It's from Austin Moon. You know he doesn't feel that way about you, Kat."

"He doesn't?"

"Austin is with Ally Dawson, the telekinetic girl."

"No, he's not. Austin never mention anything like that about her."

"Mm-hmm."

"He even gave me this necklace. You see?"

"I do see it. It has initials on it."

"What?" Kat read the necklace. "AD? That stands for…Ally Dawson."

"I am terribly sorry, Kat."

Kat let out an angry scream. Woods tries his best to clam her down, but Kat begins to throw a tantrum.

"Calm down," yelled Woods. "Katerina, control yourself!"

Suddenly, Kat, who still has Austin's morphing ability, forcefully changes her appearence. She screams and thrashing herself around.

Woods stands there and gazes horrified at Kat's new physical appearence.

"Katerina, what have you done?" asked Woods.

"I finally feel like me," breathed Kat. "I am reborn."

"Are you sure about this, Kat? You look—"

"NO! I want Austin to see me this way! I want him to see who I really am! I want revenge!"

"And revenge is what we will get, my dear."
