Chapter 22

Stork pulled up sharply suddenly, for some reason, sending Blinx sliding across the floor on her stomach 'Best seat in the house. I ain't movin'
A chicken tumbled by her and she recognized it as the one from Terra Gale.
'When did that get here?'

Stork pulled down the periscope and gave a squeak "Piper! It's the Dark Ace! And he's coming straight towards the ship!" Finn screamed (like a girl) as he heard this and fired a volley of shots. Piper chewed a nail "The Dark Ace!"

"Are you absolutely sure?!" Finn looked over at Blinx, suspicion crawling into his eyes.
Stork had a look of idiosyncrasy "Evil look, Broad Sword, betrayer of the previous Storm Hawks. Yeah, I'd say it's the Dark Ace"
She deadpanned again 'Right that's it!'

She got to her feet falling onto the wall when the Condor shuddered again "I'd say you've got it all handled! If anyone needs me, I'll be in my room!"

She realised when she got back there that she spent a lot of time in said room.

'Maybe it's because I'm not really a Storm Hawk. Or maybe it's because I'm not telling them about me. I don't know' she was feeling extremely miserable and uncomfortable now.
'Maybe I should do what Digger told me to? Man! I wish Digger was here! Or I was with him! I feel so alone, I need someone to talk to'

She sat down on the bed and shuffled herself into the corner leaning on the bed head. Her head was buried in her arms, eyes closed.

She shivered not having noticed the temperature had dropped dramatically. 'Hey! The ships stopped shaking!' she opened her eyes and lifted her head, but instead of seeing the metal walls of her room she saw a wall of ice. 'What the heck? What happened? What did I do?!'

Someone entered the room and she screamed, turning into the wall and wishing she could sink into it.
A burning sensation rising in her face.

The other person yelled and dove back out the door.
"When I said I'd see you soon, I didn't think it'd be this soon! And I was kinda hoping I would at least be wearing pants!"

If Diggers blush could be seen, his whole body would be red "How'd you even get here eh? You left only nine days ago!"

"I'm so sorry Digger! I don't know what happened!" there was silence for a moment
"Could you possibly look away so I can put some clothes on?" Blinx giggled a little to herself "I heard that eh!"
"I haven't turned away from the wall!"

There was shuffling behind her for a few minutes until he told her it was all safe. He sat down next to her and pulled her into him 'For his sake he better not get handsy'
"So why don't you tell me what's happened eh"

She didn't really know how to explain and it would only be a short explanation due to the fact that it all happened so quickly (she wasn't really paying attention at the time)

"Well, the Cyclonians attacked, I was in my room, I was missing you..." when she said this he pulled her closer and gave a happy growl "...and I wished that I was where you were. I was also thinking of doing what you said and practicing. But I don't understand how I ended up here"

He thought for a moment and pulled her into his lap, hugging her, when he felt her shiver violently "What were you feeling when the radio turned on by itself?" she thought back to then, her anger rising again "I was feeling anger"

"And what were you feeling when things started moving off the shelves?"
"Well I was calmer after a while but when they stater moving I was freaking out! Why? What are you thinking"
"When the ball started moving were you feeling calmer?"
"Probably. Maybe, I think"

"These 'powers' are obviously connected to your emotions. You were missing me, you were thinking of me, so you teleported to me. Your anger turned the radio on but when you unplugged and dropped it, it calmed you down enough to allow you to start moving things"

"So I have to be aware of my emotions and learn control?"

He nodded

"I just have one more question. Technically I disappeared in the middle of a battle. So how do I get back to the others?" she asked
