Rule 3
1 power, no side affects. 2 powers = emotional instability. 3 powers = physically unstable. 4 powers = mentally unstable. 5 powers = mentally, physically and emotional instability.
"Yes!, yes!" cheered Jude.
"Did Jude get ahold of some pixie sticks?" asked Marianna.
"No he' just excited that his sister is finally coming home" said Brandon.
"Great and two das before my quinceanera" said Marianna selfishly.
"Oh boo hoo" said Jesus running into the kitchen.
"hey no running in the house Mr. Man!" said Stef.
"I can't help it, I feel like I'm brimming with energy!" said Jesus.
"Wow you used a big word and you used it right" teases Marianna.
Jesus made a face at Marianna who did it right back.
"Enough you two, Jesus we'll talk to your doctor about rising your meds, Yes" said Stef.
"Cool I guess" said Jesus a little bummed.
"Jude please stop bouncing around" said Stef.
"No let him! because it stops him from say it" said Brandon.
"What's it?" asked Stef.
"Is she here yet, is she here yet, is she here yet" chanted Jude.
"oh great this again!" groaned Jesus.
Jude stopped when he heard the click of the front door opening. Jude ran into the living room waiting as Lena entered first then Morva. Callie was the last to enter but Jude hugged her in a heartbeat.
"It's nice to see you to!" said Callie.
"Hello Callie, I'm Stef, Lena's partner" said Stef.
"Your a cop!" said Caliie her voice filled with fear and disgust as she took in the uniform.
"Yes I am" said Stef.
"It was in that moment things got awkward. No one was sure what to say. Luckily Jude broke the tension.
"Callie meet Marianna, her twin Jesus, Brandon Stef biological son, he and Stef have powers like you" said Jude.
"You have powers!?" asked Brandon skeptically.
What are your powers!" said Callie coldly.
"I can manipulate sound, and mom has physical invulnerability, so what are your powers?" asked Brandon.
"You didn't tell them?" asked Callie looking at Morva.
"Oh Stef and Lena know but it was up to them to let the others know or let you do it" said Morva.
Callie looked at Brandon then with a shrug spoke.
"I have super strength and speed" said Callie.
"Ha she's a duo!" laughed Marianna.
"All man" said Brandon.
"Well it's time to eat, come on" said Stef.
"Alright, I'm starving" said Jesus.
"Hungry, Hungry hippo" teased Jude.
"I can't help that I need more food then you bird man" said Jesus.
As the others walked into the Kitchen Morva noticed Callie was observing Jesus. He saw her watch as he moved and they way he acted. This behavior was interesting as Callie never showed any interest in people. He was really shocked by what he saw on her face, understanding and fear. She had been her e5minutes and already noticed something. He decided to wait.
When Callie say down she was handed a plate with a lot of food. More then the others a lot. She also had some kind of bar on her plate.
"Um I think you gave me to much" said Callie.
"No that's the right amount for a speedster" said Lena looking over some information.
"Um ok?, um what is this?" asked Callie holding up the bar.
"Oh that is a starbar it was invented by speedsters for speedsters, it contains a years worth of nutrients, vitamins and tigel the stuff that allows Speedsters to sleep for more then an hour, that one is chocolate" said Lena.
"Um that's nice of you and all but I don't need all this food!" said Callie.
"Callie you are technically malnourished so yes you do, those drips they had on in Juviv have been giving you back your strength but as of right now Callie you should be dead!" said Morva.
"Oh!" said Callie surprised.
Callie's new foster family all stared at her in surprise.
"Callie always gave me her food because some of the homes didn't feed us all the time" said Jude.
Callie noticed shame crossed Brandon's face, pity on Marianna, horror on Lena's and anger on Stef's. Callie was a little confused about Stef's anger, was it directed at her for not being grateful or Jude for talking about bad things. Stef noticed the fear in Callie's eyes as they gazed at her. It truly hurt when she realized Callie was scared of her. She was about to say something when Lena spoke.
"Whoa there Jesus, slow down before you choke!" said Lena.
Callie watched as Jesus ate. Morva was intrigued, he was wondering what Callie new that they didn't.
"Hey um Jesus, how old are?" asked Callie nervously.
Morva jotted that down wondering where it was going. The Foster looked at Callie confused.
"Why so you can call me a baby, make fun of me!" question Jesus defensibly.
Morva could see he was about to lose Callie so he had to do some thing fast.
"Jesus answer the question!" demanded Morva.
Stef and Lena shared confused look. They knew Morva was there to help them and take notes but they had no idea why he was observing Callie or Jesus so closely.
"I turn 15 tomorrow but after that we have Marianna's quinceanera" said Jesus confused.
"Morva what is going on?" asked Lena.
"The only person who knows that is answer is Callie, ask another question" said Morva.
"Are you um are you taking any meds and for how long?" asked Callie embarrassed.
"I have ADHD so I've been taking meds since I was 5?" said Jesus worried.
"Have you ever had an electric tingly sensation on your back and legs?" asked Callie.
"Yes!" said Jesus.
Lena was worried as that had not been in the file they had gotten. Stef was looking at Callie wondering just what she knew. Morva jaw dropped.
"Callie...is that what Sonic feedback feels like?" asked Morva.
"Yes" said Callie.
"What on earth is sonic feedback?" asked Stef.
"Sonic feedback is the buildup of energy that forms in the body as a speedster comes to full power, Sonic feedback can be mistaken for ADHD and if it is the meds block the release of energy creating a build up of stored energy that can be harmful to the speedster" quoted Callie.
Everyone looked at Callie in surprise.
"Callie that was the text book answer, how do you remember or know that?" asked Morva.
"Um when I first found my powers I was scared so I looked them up but then I got hooked, I now that physical invulnerability only protects you physically and it is not invincibility which protects you mentally, physically and emotionally (spiritually), I know that Brandon claims he a sound manipulator but to have that power he has to be AMP which is someone who creates their own energy" said Callie.
"You may very well become a Super's doctor" said Morva.
"Sweet I'm going to have super speed!" said Jesus.
"Yes but there are also several types of Speedsters, Callie here is a Blazer, Blazers are the fastest of all the speedsters reaching speeds well past light speed, the hero Faster Man can run at Mach 4 while Callie here was tested and shown she can reach Mach 6" said Morva.
Everyone turned to look at Callie who looked scared as hey caught her eating. It was clear that she was holding her powers back because her face showed someone who just wanted to devour her plate.
"Ican'thelpitIdidn'tmeantobefaterthenhim" said Callie. (not a typo) (I can't help it, I didn't mean to be faster then him)
"Excuse me!" said Lena.
"As you can see that is the only unclear evidence of Callie's power's something she has managed to hide for years which to the untrained eye would look like misbehaving but who can tell when you've been beaten for nothing" said Morva.
"Actually Callie started stuff so they punished us" said Jude not paying attention.
Stef held in rage at what Jude just said as she could here the thinking errors. Lena saw hurt and pride cross Callie's face. It was in that moment Lena saw a young women and not a violent teenager. Lena understood now that Callie simply let Jude believe it was her fault then tell him the truth. Callie in Lena's eyes went from a treat to a champion and survivor. Callie on the other hand had just finished her food and for once on her life felt full.
"Hey do you know what speed lvl I'll have?" asked Jesus trying to change the subject.
"I will not know until your first run, if we had know before hand we could have simply tested the energy output" said Morva.
"Will I have any powers?" asked Marianna.
"Because your a twin you gain a power but not the same power" said Morva.
"Ok guys it's time to finish your homework and get ready for bed, Jesus you've got dishes tonight, yes" said Stef.
"No it's Marianna's night!" said Jesus.
"Well tonight Marianna is showing Callie to her room" said Lena.
"Fine!" said Jesus rolling his eyes.
Somewhere else.
Callie looked into the darkness below. She was staring into the abyss until she hear laughter. She looked behind her towards the light. Standing in the light was Jude with the Fosters laughing. Stef held on to Jude while Marianna tickled him. This was weird for Callie as all her other foster homes had been somewhere in the darkness never in the light.
"Don't worry Callie, we'll claim Jude and bring him down here with us!" laughed a voice.
"Never!" screamed Callie.
"I'm going to have fun with him!" laughed a dark figure crawling out of the abyss.
"You'll never have him Liam!" cried Callie punching the shade back into the darkness.
The Liam shade fell back into the abyss laughing. As more dark figures emerged from the void Callie fought harder. Knocking them back into the abyss like she did every night.
"Just give up already, it's not worth the pain!" laughed another voice.
"I'm going to take him from you, just like I took your mother!" screeched a Donald Shade.
"No you can't have, I won't let you!" cried Callie.
"He doesn't want you, no one wants you!" laughed the Liam shade.
"I don't care, so long as he's safe" said Callie.
"He'll never be safe, look over there" said a shade.
Callie looked towards the light a second time in over 3 years. Jesus was on the ground screaming in pain as energy crackled off his body. Callie knew what it was, It was the eruption of sonic feedback.
"Nooo!" screamed Callie.
Real world.
Callie jumped out of bed and ran into Jude and Jesus's room. There she saw Jude hiding in the closet as Jesus erupted with live energy causing the room to catch fire. Stef ran past her with a fire extinguisher but abandoned it to shield Jude. Callie ran over to Jesus who was of course wide awake.
"Come on!" screamed Callie.
"where!" moaned Jesus in pain.
Callie grabbed Jesus and together they ran out if the house and through the neighborhood. Stef emerged from the closet with Jude as Morva and Lena put out the small fires.
"This is bad, this was caused by the meds as they prevented the energy from venting, had Callie not pulled him out when she did Jude and Jesus cold have died" said Morva.
"Had Callie not been we all could have died" said Stef.
"Moms, Morva! Brandon shouted from outside.
The adults came out into the front yard to see two blurs, one blue the other grey and slower.
"Who's the blue one?" asked Jude.
"That's Callie and the other one is Jesus which makes a matcher, a matcher can match the speed of anyone faster then them other wise they are set at 250 miles per hour" said Morva.
"Wow, I've never seen anything so amazing" said Lena.
"How long until they stop?" asked Stef.
"As soon as they feel like it" said Morva.
They stood in silence watching as blue and grey intermingled until it become one blur. The blur ran over buildings, up street lights, on the side of cars. Jesus looked out side the blur to see things not even moving. His moms come out of the house in what felt like years to him. He looked over at Callie and saw her laughing. Soon he was standing next to Callie, looking into her eyes he felt lightning pass through him. They came closer until their lips met only for Jesus to fly into Stef's car.
...and that is why I stopped you from stopping the kiss, which in speedster terms is Thunder punch, it happens when 2 speedsters sync up while running and no you don't have to report it as it will never happen again and It is cataloged under power conditions" said Morva.
"Oh my head hurts!" moaned Jesus.
"It would be wise to put on some clothes" said Morva.
Jesus looked down at his naked self then zoomed into his room. Callie soon emerged from the neighbors yard.
"Callie you need...you already have clothes on?" said Marianna.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" said Callie defensively.
Callie had on a black skin tight top an skin tight shorts.
"When Jesus came to he was naked but your already clothed" said Brandon.
"Perv" said Callie.
"What! no I meant you never put clothes on yet" said Brandon.
"Oh I was already wearing this, it's spandex I can get a lot of uses out of it before it breaks down" said Callie.
"For shape shifters like Yellow Penguin spandex doesn't wear out but for speedsters you need Biomet clothing designed to held up to light speed" said Morva.
"Ok everyone back inside we've got 30 hours before Marianna's quinceanera" said Stef.
