Author's Note: There will not be that accelerated growth thing for supe babies, how could the Thundermans have possibly been able to keep Chloe secret if that actually was a thing?

This is word emphasis

This is telepathy

Chapter 4

Hiddenville:

Max winces five weeks later as he gets changed for the day, why was his entire shirt wardrobe t-shirts, long or short sleeved? Everything else was relatively easy using his telekinesis to help him out. Colosso would make fun of him, but Max fed him, and the kid got blown up. That exempted him from any mocking. Parisa orbs in just then, and she shakes her head before teleorbing his shirt on him, " Thanks. "

" No problem. "

Max puts his sling back on, shoulders his backpack, and then drops a chaste kiss on Parisa's lips, Le matin, ma belle impératrice, tu t'es préparé à voir le regard incrédule de Phoebe quand les bulletins sont rentrés à la maison, et elle découvre que j'ai fait mieux qu'elle(Morning, my beautiful empress, you prepared to see Phoebe's disbelieving look when the report cards come home, and she finds out I did better than her)?

Tu es si délicieusement sournois, mon épouse(You are so delightfully devious, my consort).Parisa says, and pulls away from Max, We can play more later. I have not been tardy to school, ever, and I will not have you messing that up.

Fine, I'll behave for now. I still owe you a date as well.

You also need to make power dampeners for your entire family, the Achilles Comet is making a comeback, and said comet has a tendency to make powers go wonky for Supers. I'm a Super by choice, not birth. For ten or so hours you'd be stuck within three feet of Phoebe.

Max looks properly horrified at this idea, his brain already firing away on all cylinders on this particular problem. The young couple make their way upstairs to have breakfast, " Teleorbed his shirt on? " Phoebe asks Parisa.

" It was quicker, though I am planning a beach day sometime soon. "

Max groans, and lightly bangs his forehead on the table, " Can you wait until my arm heals then? Knowing you, you'll be in a bikini, one that I will praise and curse alternatively as well. "

Parisa smirks at him wickedly, " Who me? " she asks him innocently.

Max gives her a deadpanned look, " Pensez-vous vraiment que vous me trompez une seconde avec ce ton innocent, ma belle impératrice? Vous êtes une renarde, une sournoise, une perverse, une pécheresse merveilleuse(Do you really think you're fooling me for one second with that innocent tone, my beautiful empress? You are a conniving, deviously, wondrously sinful vixen). "

Parisa eats her breakfast even as she contemplates how she was going to respond, and then she smirks. She hits Max right in his hormones as she stands up, she's halfway to the front door before Max can reboot his brain. " Vous êtes un damné, ma belle impératrice(You are a damned tease, my beautiful empress). " Max calls as he chases after her.

" You know you like that about me. " Parisa ripostes.

" Goes without saying. " Max says as he catches up to her, his left arm going around her shoulders.

Phoebe shakes her head in amusement, and follows after them. Once Billy and Nora were gone both Thunderman parents chuckle, all Parisa had done lean forward as she stood up, then given her head a slight toss, with a head tilt thrown in. That was all it had taken to cause an all systems crash so to speak in Max's brain. " He's got it bad for her. " Hank says, shaking his head.

At school Max was very grateful that he had trained himself how to be ambidextrous in all things, even if carrying his books one handed was not easy, he managed it. His situational awareness kept him from getting tripped, running into people, getting shoved…Parisa was still settling in, and establishing herself as an über alpha bitch from Hell, verbally anyhow. She never physically started any confrontation, and never used any foul language when she tore someone apart either. Max loved watching her viciously rip someone to shreds with words that could be used around children, all with an even tone of voice.

Not even he could have predicted what happened at lunch that day. The Captain of the Cheerleading Squad dumped her lunch on Parisa, and then a lackey tripped her as Parisa stood up to go clean up. Parisa stands up, flips her hair, and walks out. Max watches as the cheerleaders gape after her, and he smirks, How badly are you going to humiliate them?

People will talk about my retaliation for months, of course, I can't let anyone think it was me.

Want some help plotting?

I'm gonna need your technological and mechanical knowhow to get them back. I want their home addresses, their routines…

Max grins, Parisa was going to study her targets, and hit them where it would really hurt them, their vanity. Ai-je mentionné que je t'aime dernièrement, ma belle impératrice(Have I mentioned I love you lately, my beautiful empress)?

Not today.

Je t'aime(I love you), Parisa. We're cyber stalking them then?

Hell yes! You up for that, Maximus?

Only always, my beautiful empress. Max replies, and he looks at his twin and her best friend as they join him. " What's the head cheerleader's problem with your girlfriend, Max? " Phoebe asks him.

Max snorts, " She feels threatened by Parisa, so thought she could put her in her place by publicly humiliating her. Good luck with that, my beautiful empress doesn't get mad, she gets even. "

" How long have you known Parisa, Max? " Cherry asks.

" Since we were five. " Max says, " Parisa was the only one in class that outright ignored Phoebe, and played with me. "

" When did you start dating? " Cherry honestly wanted to know.

Phoebe rolls her eyes, " Unofficially, or when Max actually acknowledged his feelings? "

" Mine and Phoebe's fourteenth birthday, sure Parisa was still thirteen at the time. " Max answers immediately.

Phoebe looks at him, " You two have been dating for nearly a year? I would have pegged you officially dating for three months at the most. "

Max sighs, and runs his left hand through his hair wearily, " Neither one of us wanted a big fuss made out of things, like what happened when I had to publicly stake my claim three months ago. That reminds me, I need to find a birthday present for Chris. "

" Chris? " Cherry asks.

" One of Parisa's cousins, and just as into science as Max. " Phoebe supplies, " His birthday is coming up soon, isn't it? "

" Yeah, it is. Since he is almost always overshadowed by his older brother I refuse to forget his birthday. " Max says. Max understood how Chris felt too when it came to being overshadowed by a sibling. It was why Chris actually used snail mail with Max, as long as the letters were addressed to him Chris' siblings wouldn't open them. Sure, it took longer, but you couldn't eavesdrop on a letter. Chris also cast a spell on the Manor so that all of his mail would just seem uninteresting to all of his relatives except Parisa.

Parisa returns to the cafeteria just then, and heads over to join Max, promptly stealing his lunch. Max rolls his eyes good naturedly at this, " What are you getting for Chris this year? "

" I was actually hoping you'd collaborate with me on that. " Parisa admits.

Max cocks his head to the side, " What do you have in mind? "

" A tablet that only Chris can use. "

Max grins widely, " Challenge accepted. "

Cherry blinks, " Are you saying Max is going to build a tablet, from scratch? "

" Max is very much into Applied Sciences. " Parisa says, she nods to Max's orange, and he indicates he wants half. Parisa sets to work peeling the orange, " Theory is all well and good, but Max likes practicals better. "

" Practicals? " Cherry questions.

" Like say in Harry Potter, you'd read about how a spell is done, and then perform it. Basically Max is the opposite of the Great Pink Toad Bint. " Parisa explains.

Phoebe looks at her twin, " That actually makes sense, he always has liked building things in comparison to listening to lectures. "

" Max is very much a kinesthetic learner, or hands on learner. He's got the academic smarts, make no mistake on that, but sitting in a classroom isn't his thing. " Parisa says.

After school Max and Parisa swing by the Thunderman home to drop their school stuff off, and so Parisa can change. Then they head out to get the parts Max needed to build a tablet Only Christopher Perry Halliwell could use. Max loved making use of bioelectrics, as everyone did have a unique bioelectrical aura. He just hid his exceptionally well. He did not want anyone knowing he happened to be an electrokinetic. Only Heroes revealed everything they could do. Holding back something just in case…that was the smart thing to do. He hid his telepathy because in the Supers society all empaths and telepaths were viewed with suspicion.

Why that stigma started he didn't know, but he did like the fact that he had a way to communicate with Parisa no one else knew about. The tablet would also be lightly coated with Thundertanium to make it extra durable as well. Max had called out he and Parisa were going shopping for Chris' birthday present, and present shopping always took a while, no matter who you were. Max never gave Parisa clichéd gifts. Valentine's Day before they started dating he'd give her dark pink roses as they symbolized gratitude and appreciation, the rest of the Halliwell females got yellow roses. For their first date Max had given Parisa a bouquet with a lavender rose which symbolized love at first sight, a white chrysanthemum which symbolized truth, and loyal love, ranunculus which could mean you are radiant with charm or you are attractive, Max was going for the second meaning, and a tulip, which was an unspoken declaration of love.

Max always put a lot of thought into the flowers he gave Parisa, since she actually knew their meanings. He knew damned well she had saved that first bouquet, drying the flowers out. He does send a single peach rose to his mom, simply to say thank you. He sends a Daisy to Nora, in this instance he was saying his little sister was innocent and pure. Phoebe he sent a Buttercup to, which could mean childishness, ingratitude, or a desire for riches. In this instance he was calling his twin childish. Parisa was not expecting the thornless single red rose he placed behind her right ear. Max grins at her, a single red rose said I love you, and a thornless rose said love at first sight, or early attachment, all meaning worked in this case. I have to romance you occasionally, don't I? Max murmurs in Parisa's mind.

The flower shop had been their last stop, Max had everything he needed, and he could build the tablet with just his telekinesis, he'd done so before. If other couples out and about for the day saw Max's romantic gesture, and a few significant others ended up jealous of Parisa…well, that wasn't Max's intention. He honestly and sincerely just wanted to show his love for Parisa discreetly. Parisa had orbed all of their purchases to his room/Lair, mostly so neither one of them had to carry them. They'd gone shopping in Metroburg for a reason. Max couldn't quite bring himself to end their trip just yet though. He had a girlfriend to properly romance.

Max slowly guides them to the local rose garden with walking paths all throughout it. His left arm is wrapped around Parisa's shoulders while Parisa has reciprocated with her right arm around his back. His impromptu date scored major points with his girlfriend, and unknown to him their sunset back dropped kiss was actually caught on film by the park photographer.

Hiddenville:

Parisa was practically on cloud nine when they got back to the Thunderman home, and Hank looks at his eldest son, " You're making me look bad, Max. "

Barb was giving Hank some discreet, pointed Looks. Max might have also sprung for dinner, special ordering a picnic basket from a new diner in Metroburg, romantic stroll in a rose garden, a twilight picnic dinner, and the rose he'd given her earlier, simply because he'd felt like it…there were a lot of guys out there that would kill for even a little bit of Max's effortless ability to properly romance his girlfriend, and not seduce her. Max scoops Nora up as she walks past, a little difficult with one good arm, but he did it. " How would you like to get a couple hours tomorrow afternoon just with me? " Max asks her.

" What would we do? "

" See a movie, play in one of the thousand parks here in Hiddenville…we'll figure it out. " Max says, " That is, if there aren't other plans already. "

" Chris is coming over to play video games with Billy, but that's it. " Barb says.

" You go get ready for bed, I happen to have a new story for you. " Max sits her down, and Nora races upstairs. Max ruffles Billy's hair on his way past, " You get me the day after tomorrow. "

Parisa has settled in the Lair to work on her homework , humming as she does. The song, Demons by Imagine Dragons. Max smiles when he walks in, Parisa was humming their song. " When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood's run stale

I want to hide the truth

I want to shelter you

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

When the curtain's call

Is the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made

Don't want to let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don't want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make

I say it's up to fate

It's woven in my soul

I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright

I want to save their light

I can't escape this now

Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide

Don't get too close

It's dark inside

It's where my demons hide

It's where my demons hide. "

Max couldn't help but to sing along as she hummed, and then just sang acapella when she stopped. She had settled on his bed to do her homework, sitting cross legged, and he'd settled behind her, his voice low enough only she could hear him, he knew the acoustics of his room. He and Dr. Colosso also had an agreement, no posting anything Colosso knew was private. Even supervillains understood romancing your girlfriend. Max singing for Parisa was under the DO NOT REVEAL UNTIL MAX IS READY heading. Singing for Parisa was one thing, for everyone else…Max was in no way ready for that kind of scrutiny. " You have your numbers transposed again. "

Parisa leans her head back on his right shoulder briefly, " I loathe Dyscalculia. "

" Hey, you have me to check over your homework, and your learning disability is well documented. You know your mom will storm the school if they discriminate against you. " Max says, Dyscalculia played merry hell with the comprehension of math symbols, and those with it may struggle with memorizing and organizing numbers, have difficulty telling time, or have trouble with counting. With Parisa it was caught early enough that she was semi-competent in math, her numbers just had a tendency to not be in the right order. Word problems could give her fits, but a more active way of teaching her math had done wonders, along with mnemonic devices, and a few other tricks as well.

Her math homework still had to be checked over, and Max would flat out refuse to join the Advanced Math class at school even if he could handle it. Some things were more important than proving your intellectual might. Besides, he had already created several apps that he was selling online for a dollar ninety-nine, Parents Approaching, Siblings Approaching, things like that. He was not going to let Phoebe drag him down to her level, even though he really hated it when someone said he couldn't do or handle something. Phoebe may want to attend Hero University, but Max didn't.

It was the next day after school when the report cards arrived, in many other dimensions Max would have had to change his grades by distracting the Guardian at the Gate so to speak. In this one he only got the good grades to annoy Phoebe, and he may want to get into MIT. Yeah, the more advanced math courses would help with that, but he had three more years of high school after this, and there was always Villain University which didn't give a flying fuck about grades. When Max and Phoebe's report cards are opened Phoebe is discovered to have one B in Art while Max has straight A's across the board, " Computer Programming, they offer that at Hiddenville High? " Hank asks.

" I'm also taking French as well. I know computers, now, I have a date with my little sister to get ready for. "

Parisa had snapped the pictures of the looks on Hank, Barb, and Phoebe's faces when they saw Max's straight A's, " You've been offered an opportunity to join Phoebe's math class. " Barb says.

" Not gonna happen, and before you say I can't handle it, sis, I need math for all the gadgets I build, besides I'm Parisa's go to math tutor since she ended up with Dyslexia's math cousin Dyscalculia. I have to be able to reteach her what she learned in a way that sticks with her. Every other math tutor she's ever had she ends up throwing her math book across the room. " Max states, " I have three more years of High School after this, I can take the harder math courses later. "

Max had gotten a good start on Chris' birthday present after his and Parisa's homework was gotten out of the way. Max was ready when Nora got home from school, and gives her some time to get ready as well. He scoops her up as they head out, he was getting better at picking her up one handed. He knew he'd have to get the strength in his right arm back up, and that would take some time as well. Thankfully Paige knew a physical therapist that was also a wiccan witch. The guy had agreed to go to Max, and help him out. Telekinetics needed to be worked with differently, and the guy that would be helping Max knew how to rebuild arm strength for those with telekinesis.

Max sits her down once a block away from home, and they head for one of the thousand parks in Hiddenville. He didn't mind being seen as a good big brother, and once he had started dating Parisa he had promised himself he would make time for his younger siblings. Phoebe may be acting too cool to hang out with them, but he refused to do so. Since he wasn't joining Phoebe in her Advanced Math courses he also wouldn't be joining the Math Bowl, even if he could win it. This meant he would also avoid meeting Sarah who would in many other dimensions had a crush on/was obsessed with Max.

Back at the Thunderman home Parisa gets tackle hugged by her cousin again, " Hey, you have a play date with Billy. I'll be at the family dinner Saturday, and if there are no objections I'd like to borrow Max as well. "

" It's a family dinner, why do you want Max there? " Barb asks.

Chris snickers, and Parisa lightly bops him on the head, " Mostly because she knows Aunt Phoebe and my mom, but mostly Aunt Phoebe will interrogate her about her love life. Then Aunt Phoebe will offer to take her clothes shopping. "

Parisa blanches, " You pest, you remember the other timeline, don't you? "

Chris smirks, " I can neither confirm nor deny that, but you know what I said is true. "

" Why would shopping be a bad thing? " Phoebe asks her.

" Would you want to go lingerie shopping with your aunt whom married an actual cupid? " Parisa deadpans.

Phoebe shudders, " I stand corrected, you're only fourteen, why would she…? "

" Aunt Phoebe was the wild one of those raised in the Manor. " Parisa replies.

Phoebe wisely says nothing else as Chris goes to play with Billy. Parisa flips to her feet, " Max is definitely going along now, even if I only have someone to share the embarrassed misery with. "
