Chapter 29:

Ross's POV

I was at Barbara's house. I had pasted my house on the way over and sure enough what Caine had said was true. There was absolutely no way of me getting in there for a while so I was not going to be going back to my house in a long time. I also tried to stay out of the way of people, as the news of me not being responsible for the bombing had not yet reach everyone. For example, in the plaza a group of kids tried to kill me. I got away, though. Then later on the same group of kids saw me again. This time though they apologised.

"Hey, Ross!" Barbara said as she opened the door.

"Hey...ahm, can I stay here? My house is well, you know."

"Ya, I know. Sure you can use the spare room."

"Thanks, barb." I said stepping inside.

"You ok Ross. You seem upset."

"It's Caine, he wants me to help him kill Sam" I said.

"Your not going to actually do it. Are you?"

"I don't want to. But I have no choice. Like I can't go to town hall. Caine is watching it." I said to her.

"Why don't you call him.?" She suggested.

"I...can do that, can't i" I said pulling out new phone. I spoke to Sam for about ten minutes. I refused to tell what I wanted to tell him. But I told him to come over, when he was leaving for his house.

"Done." I said walking back into the living room.

"Good. He's coming over later?"

"Ya. I have so many questions."

"Like what?" She said smiling.

"Like, remember the other day. What the hell were those quill things?"

"Oh. Remember a while back, when we were brought into Clifftop. When Diana said I was a three. Well my power is those quill things. When I get a shock they come out and when people try to fight me those quills shoot out and dig into them." She explained.

"Ahm...ok..I understood about none of that, well except not to fight you." I said grinning stupidly.

"So any other questions?" She asked.

"Can we..um..start over? Like you know from the part where you said we were..um.. together...?" I said, horribly nervous. She smiled that great smile that i love. She then leaned in and kissed me.

"So..yes" I said grinning stupidly again.

"Yes." She lied as she began kissing me again.
