Charlie bounced on the balls of her feet, to anyone that was watching it looked like she was just messing around—they would be right. She was goofing about, but she was also watching as the teams started to join McKinley in the ring. There was a determined look on some faces, but quite a few people looked annoyed by her presence. She wasn't an idiot, she knew that she and McKinley had the biggest targets on their backs.
As far as she was concerned her job wasn't to eliminate the most people, it was to support her team and make it easy for them to show off their abilities. Her eyes flick to Jesse who seemed to have become a leader of the rest of the teams and he was barking orders. He would have to go first, she needed to break the wills of the other team . She needed to throw them into chaos, so McKinley could simply take them out. Perhaps she should take a page from her Aunt Cassandra.
Her bouncing comes to a slow as even through her music she hears the buzzer signifying that the five minute preparation period. She stretches out her arms once again as slightly bends her knees, lightning crackling around her feet. She had planned to use her abilities sparingly but to break the wills of the other combatants, she would need to flash her power just enough for them to understand that there was anything they could do.
The second that she hears the start of the buzzer signifying that things are going to start, she moves before anyone can do anything, appearing in front of Jesse. She can't help the amused smile that crosses her face as Jesse's eyes widen and he opens his mouth to use his abilities. She had nothing against abilities that were vocal based, but what Rachel needed to understand was that there was one gaping weakness that she would need to make sure she protected, as she slammed a fist into Jesse's throat. It wasn't strong enough to collapse his windpipe but it was enough to stop his abilities, because she was certain that she had damaged his vocal cords.
Jesse coughed, gasping for air as he reaches for his throat, his eyes watering. He had still been staring at where she was. He tries to push through it but Charlie suddenly has his hands in her tight grip forcing him to look at her, before she literally throws him into a few other members of Vocal Adrenaline. He's lucky that they manage to catch him but before he can motion for them to put him down, Charlie was once again in front of him.
Charlie smiles as she places her hand on Jesse's back, and with a small push with her abilities she shoves Jesse and two other members of Vocal Adrenaline out of the ring, sending them falling onto the ground. Charlie extends her hand and her phone drops into her hand from where she was keeping it suspended in the air and she slowly turns her music down and looks at the rest of the students who were staring at her and then at Jesse and Vocal Adrenaline. "Boo!" Charlie states with a smirk. The words are enough to get the teenagers to immediately scatter away from her giving her a wide berth.
Whatever plan that they had made to take her down, had died the moment that three people had been eliminated in a blink of the eye. Most hadn't even seen Charlie move, and it hadn't just been a simple shove. Jesse and a few members of Vocal Adrenaline had been sent flying out of the ring. Maybe it would just be wise to try and make it to sectionals by points and just give McKinley the win.
But before they could regroup or even take their eyes off of Charlie, there's a loud scream and a few people turn to watch Lauren Zizes slamming into a throng of students sending them flying out of the ring. Her body was a battering ram, as she simply marches through the crowd of teens.
Santana moved next, she had wanted to wait until she fought with Charlie again to show off some of the things she'd been working on, but now was as good a time as any. She glances at a few crowds of students who were taking cover near the edge of the ring and makes the shape of a gun with her fingers, and begins to fire off small fire bullets at them which forces more students to fall out of the ring.
It's the spark that the rest of McKinley needs to react, as Finn hardens his body up and heads to start pushing more students out of the ring. Kitty's clones start tackling a few people off as well. Matt's forcefield ability begins to separate people from their teams as Sam trips activating his power and he begins to bounce around the ring slamming into Matt's force fields and ricochetting around the ring slamming into groups of people and causing more people to scatter and jump out of the ring to avoid them.
Charlie glances at the chaos that's surrounding her and grins, pleased that her team had managed to take advantage of the chaos. Perhaps they hadn't needed her afterall. She yawns widely and slowly makes her way to the middle of the ring dodging and jumping over attacks, before she gets to the middle of the ring. She hums as she carves a circle with her abilities and takes a seat right there in the middle of the ring, yawning as she opens up her phone and starts playing a game on her phone, letting the pandemonium continue around her.
~ O ~
Judy stared at her youngest daughter, her cheeks a bright red. "What is she doing!"
"Well, it could be worse," Frannie stated as she kept her eyes on the rest of McKinley, they had managed to use the chaos that Charlie had caused to their advantage. She glances up at the score which was moving up quickly, as was McKinley's place on the board. They had been sitting in last place by the end of the last round, their point total had been the lowest but this event clearly favored them.
"How could it be worse?" Judy whispers.
"She could be taking a nap, I'm actually surprised that she isn't to be honest. Or you know eating," Russell pointed out with a shrug.
Judy's brow twitched and she looked at her mother, "You said that being on a team would allow her to learn social cues," she said in an accusatory tone.
"Charlie understands social cues, she just—well she doesn't care," Quinn said with a shrug of her shoulders. If she wasn't so heartbroken she would probably join her other siblings in laughing at Charlie. "She's doing this to give everyone a fair shake and try and impress the judges. If someone wants to fight her she'll fight but she's not going to engage on her own until she feels the need to intervene."
"Well she's making an ass of herself," Judy grumbled. She was going to have a long talk with Charlie about respect. Judy frowned when her father began to laugh and she turns to him. "You need to stop encouraging this behavior. I know that Charlie's eccentric—"
"That's putting it mildly," Quinn mutters. She had no idea how Charlie was so popular with women. But they flocked to her. Even Santana who she was certain had hated Charlie when they first met was falling for her charm, and it only led to heart break.
Lawrence just shrugged his shoulders, "We all know that Charlie could decimate everyone in that ring with a wave of her hand, she isn't doing that because this competition isn't truly about who is the best, it's about putting your best foot forward and hoping to get noticed by recruiters, agents and hero firms. Charlie being all powerful doesn't allow anyone else to shine. Whether they are on McKinley or they are on an opposing team. If anyone wants to fight Charlie she's basically informing them to step over the line and face her. She's throwing down the gauntlet. I do hope someone other than Santana is brave enough to—"
There's a loud bang that shakes the arena causing everyone to turn their attention back to the arena. Well it seemed that McKinley was not going to run roughshod over the competition any longer.
~ O ~
The loud boom was enough to cause the action in the ring to stop for a moment as all the students turned to see what had happened. Even Charlie who hadn't really been paying attention, shifts her gaze from her iPhone to where the noise had originated.
The crowd in attendance had gone quiet, and a low murmur filled the stadium as everyone turned to look at the massive hole in one of the protective barriers. It was a blow that would kill a normal person. Even an AI if they didn't have some form of protection.
Nothing happens immediately and there's a gasp as medics begin to swarm the area, it wouldn't be the first time that someone had died at an Inter-high event. It's only for a second before a lone figure stumbles out of the hole, clutching his head. He looks up to see that everyone is staring at him, some with looks of shock and others with worry etched onto their faces.
Charlie sighs, she really needed to do more work on Sam so he'd become an excellent sidekick. "Do something to let them know you're okay! Strike a pose! You know a hero one!" Charlie calls out, shaking her head. How could he not know this? It was like hero 101. You always needed to look cool after you'd been in a fight, it helped soothe the masses. It gave them hope. She had been derelict in her duties to teach Sam. She'd have to rectify that.
Sam blinks twice and then quickly gives the medics a thumbs up sign, causing the entire crowd to cheer loudly for him.
Charlie tilts her head as she watches Sam, she would need to have Brittany give him a once over to make sure that he didn't have a concussion. It was like Sam was incapable of not crashing his head into something. "Mental note, make sure that Sam's body can actually handle his—" Charlie wheels around before she can finish talking and frowns when she spots Santana, who has entered her circle. "Santana? It's not time to fight yet!"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"I'm waiting for someone to challenge me Santana, you can't be in the circle yet. It's for challengers."
Santana stared at Charlie like she'd lost her mind. "What?" she hisses, her annoyance flaring.
Charlie gestured around her, "Do you really want me to eliminate everyone here? I can, but how does that make you look good? How does that make anyone on McKinley look good? This is your chance to shine. I'm just sitting here—watching cartoons." Charlie wiggles her phone at Santana who looked like she was going to have a coronary. "I'm thinking of the team!" Charlie insists, she had no idea why she suddenly felt the urge to defend her actions.
"There are a million ways you can help without showing off!" Santana snaps back. "You could have stopped Sam from getting knocked out. I know you can do that zappy thing that you do when you want to move fast, and support the freshmen. Hell give tips to Finn! You do not have to sit there on your ass watching cartoons."
"But—" Charlie protested, holding up her phone which Santana smacks away. The phone doesn't fall to the ground Charlie, catching it with her powers. "It was a new episode!"
"Charlie," Santana hisses, suddenly ducking when Charlie raises her hand and zaps someone who has realized that the two of them were distracted. She turns and looks at the person who had tried to take advantage of their distracted states and clicks her tongue in annoyance. "Take this seriously."
"I am!" Charlie huffed. "Do you really want me to beat everyone at the expense of the valuable combat experience that everyone could get?" Charlie asked, raising her hand. Before Santana can say anything she flicks her eyes at a group of teenagers who are using their abilities against Matt who has been pinned down. It's only a flick of her hand, but suddenly twenty people are knocked out of the ring. "Is that what you want? You want them to not develop their skills? The only way that they're going to get experience is if I let them get experience Santana. I can't do everything for you or them. They need to—" this time Charlie ducks as Santana sends a wave of fire at who were coming up from behind her.
"Yes they need guidance, but that doesn't mean you watch cartoons and ignore the world burning around you. I told you not to put yourself in a box to appease these idiots!" Santana turns, and shoots off a few more fire bullets, to help Finn out of a jam.
"I put myself in a circle!" Charlie snaps back, she pauses when someone grabs her by the shoulder and she wheels around and slams her fist into the teens face, there's a satisfying crunch and the teen drops, but before he can hit the ground Charlie's grabbed him by the collar and spins to get a bit of momentum before tossing him out of the ring as well.
"Don't put yourself in anything! What's wrong with you just go and do that irritating thing that you do where you act like you know everything."
"I don't know everything. I just have more experience than you."
Santana snorted rudely, "I bet you do," she throws Charlie's words back at her before turning around and scanning the ring. She immediately notices Kitty in trouble and moves to support leaving Charlie standing there, scratching her head.
"Did she—did she just imply that I'm a slut?" Charlie sputters slightly offended, as she raises her hand and catches a leg that was attempting to crash against the side of her head. Charlie turns to look at the person who had tried to launch a sneak attack. She turns to notice that there are several students who have moved to surround her. She groans and holds up a finger as she switches to more music and tosses her phone up in the air. "Alright," Charlie smiled.
~ O ~
"That bitch." Jesse muttered, his voice hoarse as he closed his eyes.
Shelby glanced over at Jesse for a moment, before returning her attention to the scoreboard. With how McKinley was clearing the field, Vocal Adrenaline was still in second place. "You never should have tried to take charge of all those schools. The moment she thought you were a leader you put a target on your back. Andrea has taken over, and they're eliminating people. So we'll meet them again at Sectionals. However, if we don't think of something now the result will be the same."
Jesse scowled, he had been made to look like a joke throughout this Inter-High. He was certain that his stock was going down, and any conditional offer that he had managed to receive would be rescinded if he didn't show up at Sectionals. He closes his eyes. "Shit." His career was over before it had even really started.
Shelby turns her attention to the field, perhaps they should have formed a temporary alliance with McKinley, and helped them instead of trying to go against them. "I'll have to talk to McKinley's coach, perhaps we can have some joint practices. As for your career Jesse, you can still turn this around. People aren't going to be talking about how you choked, they'll be talking about how McKinley destroyed Dalton Academy. There will be an investigation, and who knows when they'll be able to compete again. Cooper is probably out of a job. You failing isn't a big deal in the long run, everyone goes through hardships but what matters to these scouts is how you bounce back from this."
"You think I can beat her?"
"Well she's not invincible," Shelby motioned to the screen, where Charlie seemed to be having trouble facing eight people. Someone had managed to land a blow on Charlie, and cut her forehead open which was now bleeding profusely. "We don't actually know what she can do. She's been very careful to not show anything useful. That's why the joint practices will be useful."
Jesse bit his lip hard, even if he couldn't beat her he needed to be able to show that he could at least fight against her. "What about Rachel?"
"Rachel?" Shelby asked, glancing at him.
"You could see it on her face that she wasn't happy that Charlie wasn't using her. We could cultivate that, and use her against them. From what I see—what the world can see is that McKinley doesn't have a lot of teamwork going on. Lauren attacked her, Rachel looked unhappy that she wasn't of use—we could use the joint practices to sow discord."
Shelby hummed, it was an idea. McKinley had cracks, their various events had shown that. If they could apply the right type of pressure then the rest of the team would crack. Even if Charlie was stronger than everyone else, she couldn't do everything on her own. "Perhaps we can even embed a spy in McKinley, it's not like we haven't had people attempt to transfer in after doing poorly at the Inter-high. McKinley probably will accept them and they'll try and get on the team. So even if McKinley says no to the joint practice we'll still get what we need from them."
~ O ~
Lauren smirked as she pushed another group of students off the stage. She glances up at the scoreboard and grins, McKinley was now so far ahead in first place and there weren't enough students left over that even if they happened to lose they'd still make it to sectionals. She turns and scans the ring, surprised that several members of McKinley had already been eliminated. Matt, Finn, Kitty, Sam, Jake had all been eliminated. Judging from the score it was probably what was left of Vocal Adrenaline.
'And with that Santana Lopez has eliminated the last member of Vocal Adrenaline.'
Lauren looked over at Santana who was attempting to catch her breath and smirked before turning her attention to Charlie who was covered in blood, but despite her bloody appearance she was pushing the last of the teenagers out of the ring. The second that Charlie drops the limp body to the ground a loud buzzer is heard.
Rod Remington appears on his floating platform, "Congratulations McKinley you—"
"You said that the goal was to be the last one standing," Lauren interrupts Rod loudly. "We're not done."
Rod paused, he had stated that, but usually the betrayals happened during the competition not after it was finished. He turns to the judges who immediately began to confer. He hears a crackle in his ear and taps it listening to what the judges have decided. "You still have half an hour, does everyone want to continue?"
"I do. I won a bet," Santana agrees immediately.
Lauren smirks and turns to Charlie, "Well, oh glorious captain."
Charlie rolls her eyes, and turns to look at Rod. "I don't mind but I need to know who eliminated the most people out of the three of us."
Rod waits for a moment and listens to the voice in his ear, "You Charlie Fabray eliminated 31 people. Santana Lopez eliminated 43 people. Lauren Zizes eliminated 59 people," he informs the three of them.
Charlie groans and looks at Santana who had a delighted look on her face. There were two parts to the bet. "Alright. How about the two of you go at each other, and the winner gets to face me?" Charlie offers. It wasn't as if she couldn't face the two of them at the same time, it would just be a headache.
Santana turns to look at Lauren, "If we both attack her at once, we might be able to pull off an upset," Santana points out.
"Stay out of it Lopez, me and her have some unfinished business," Lauren says slamming her fist into her palm.
Santana looks between both Charlie and Lauren and shrugs her shoulders. It looked like she was going to get her wish after all. "Alright. I'll face the winner."
Rod looks at all three teenagers for a moment and nods, before his platform floats back up in the air. "It looks like we're in for a treat, McKinley has taken the spirit of the competition to heart and has decided to see which one of them will be the last woman standing! I'm sure we're in for a treat!" "You have thirty minutes to finish this fight! The same rules apply as before. Wait for the buzzer," he informs the rest of McKinley.
Lauren grins all she needed to do was get her hands on Charlie and she'd win, Charlie hadn't been able to stop her before. "No one is holding me back this time," she sneers at Charlie.
Charlie didn't reply, instead she just rotates her shoulders. Santana probably wouldn't interfere, she wanted a showdown. The rules of this event favored her, but if she exposed Lauren's weakness on a national stage, then it would be problematic in the future. Which meant that she would need to do this the hard way.
The buzzer sounds when Rod manages to get to a safe distance and as Charlie debates how to handle the situation, Lauren rushes forward, clearing the distance between them. She had conserved most of her strength, marching instead of running, for this very moment.
Charlie grunts as she allows Lauren to make contact, she had gotten stronger since the last time they had tangled. She's being pushed towards the edge, but she reaches up, touching Lauren's forehead with her thumb, and disrupting the electrical signals in Lauren's brain. It's only for a second but it's enough to knock Lauren out. Charlie flashes behind Lauren who immediately begins to fall off the edge and grabs the back of her shirt, holding her up with one arm, just over the edge as she stares at Santana.
"What are you waiting for?" Santana asks. "You lost our bet."
"I did," Charlie admits. "But I don't need to go all out to beat you Santana," Charlie reminds her, turning when she feels Lauren starting to stir. She waits until Lauren realizes the position she's in and tries to fight gravity, before she lets go, dumping Lauren onto the ground. "I don't actually want to hurt you Santana."
Santana flamed up, "I'm not that weak."
Charlie studied Santana for a moment. She turns to look over at her family and she spots her grandmother shaking her head. Telling her not to do this, but she had lost the wager. Charlie turns back to Santana; her flames were practically invisible, but she could feel the heat, even though Santana was on the opposite side of the ring. Santana was taking this seriously, and she had witnessed things in Santana's arsenal that hadn't been there before. "No. You're not weak." Charlie agrees finally, as she unzips her bloodied windbreaker and tosses it to the ground behind her. "So, promise me that you won't die."
Before Santana can give Charlie an answer the smell of ozone hits her nose, and she can't help the reflexive step back that she needs to take as arcs of bright blue lightning begin to crackle around Charlie, as cracks start forming in the concrete ring under Charlie's feet. The ground suddenly lurches under her and Santana stumbles forward as she realizes that the ground in the arena is metal in the rafters begin to bend, groaning as they're bent out of shape, at the strong magnetic pull. The ground starts to break apart as Charlie takes a step towards forward, her eyes glowing white.
Santana swallows, realizing that she had probably made a gigantic mistake, in asking for this but she had wanted to see what the true power of a level 5 was. The world was watching and she refused to back down now. "Is that it?" Santana asks with a nervous laugh.
Charlie doesn't answer, instead her body disappears in a flash of blue lightning and she reappears above Santana, her body twisting as she brings one of her legs down to crash down on Santana's head. She's not surprised as Santana uses her flames to blast away from her as her leg crashes down on the ground. There's enough force, enough weight, behind the kick to destroy the section of the ring that Santana had just been standing in.
Santana stares, Charlie didn't have super strength. She was stronger than most people, but she didn't actually have super strength. The force of that blow should have broken every bone in Charlie's leg. But she seemed fine. This had most definitely been a mistake, as the entire arena quakes and she hears screaming from the audience. These weren't screams of excitement, she could hear the terror and a quick look up shows her that people were actually fleeing. But her view of the fans is suddenly blocked by Charlie who appears in front of her. Santana immediately fires off a fireball into Charlie's face, but it doesn't seem to do anything as Charlie pulls her fist back.
Immediately going on the defensive Santana adjusts her abilities and puts as much distance between them as she can. If she let Charlie hit her, she was going to die. She could feel it in her bones. She needed to think of something, she needed to do something, but it was hard to think with everyone screaming and trying to make it to the exits.

"Hey Charlotte?"
Charlotte Flair looked up from all the applications that she was going through. "What?" She flinches at the harshness in her own voice, but she hated this part of the job. Every year they'd get hundreds of applications, and every year they would need to weed out hundreds of applications until they arrived at exactly 4 applications. It was a process and she'd put off the paperwork this year because she simply hated doing it. She was thinking of proposing that they didn't get sidekicks this year. Most of their choices didn't measure up in the end, and she was certain that it was affecting their perceptions.
"Remember that little shit that Sasha mentioned who asked her out on a date? And then called you out? You remember the one that shares your initials?"
Charlotte groaned, deciding to simply get up and go and see what Bayley and the others wanted. She was certain that they weren't taking the sidekick thing seriously, again, and would just randomly select someone without going through their qualifications. Most of their choices washed out in days. "A hot-shot sixteen year old challenged me to a fight? Why do I need to remember her?" Charlotte grumbled under her breath, as she entered the rec room. She spots Bayley on the couch with Sasha curled up into her, watching their massive screen television. Becky is currently on the far end of the couch staring at the television with a pleased grin on her face. "Why?"
"I think you're going to need to respond, Char," Sasha said as she sits up and points at the screen.
Charlotte Flair glances up at the screen, she's not easily impressed. But it was hard to be impressed when she was one of the few level 5's in the country. But even she can't help being slightly intrigued by what she's seeing on the screen, even though the picture quality keeps warping and flickering. Charlotte stares before a slow smile crosses her face. "What did you say her name was?"
Sasha smirked, she had seen that look on Charlotte's face before. "Charlie Fabray, and I already called dibs on having her as my sidekick."
Bayley scowled, "You just want a puppy to follow you around all summer," she says in an accusatory tone.
Sasha flashes a guilty smile, but instead of admitting to anything turns her attention to Charlotte Flair who was still staring at the screen with wonder in her eyes. "You really do need to give a response. She threw down the gauntlet earlier, and quite frankly this is a debut. She's the hottest prospect for that year, and she's already got her provisional licence. The media isn't going to let this go."
"Better question, can you beat her?" Becky asks, blinking when she saw the massive smile on Charlotte's face, and the competitive glint in her eye. "Oh it's going to be a fight."
Charlotte pulls out her phone, and opens up Twitter. "What did you say her name was?" Charlotte asks.
"Charlie Fabray," Sasha says blinking as she watches as Charlotte quickly types something out and hits the send button. Her phone buzzes in her hand, and she looks down at the notification.
'Charlie Fabray: I'll be waiting at nationals. Don't disappoint me.'
"Holy shit you've already gotten over two thousand likes!" Bayley said as she looked at her own phone.
"If she does make it to nationals, and if her team wins, she's going to be our sidekick. All that power, she's going to need us to take this seriously." Charlotte announces. Before Sasha can protest she turns, trying to keep her body from trembling in front of them as she heads back to her office. It had been such a long time since she'd been able to have a proper fight.
~ O ~
For the first time since the Inter-high had started Cassandra July was sitting at the edge of her seat, all her attention was on her niece. Her body was trembling, in anticipation. It had been such a long time since she'd honestly felt like this. "Kid's been holding back on me," she mutters mostly to herself.
Artemis crossed her arms over her chest, at least Charlie was holding back, considerably. She had kept her promise that she wouldn't show the world what she could do until it was time. She relaxes despite the pandemonium against her, now all she could do was hope that Santana could survive. Charlie wasn't going anywhere near her full capabilities.
Judy glanced down at her hands, which were shaking in fear. She had known that her children were special, she had known that they were all powerful. And she suspected that Charlie with all her training was far more powerful than she let on but this was too much. She needed to put her foot down. Surely she'd have some backup from her siblings. She glances at Quinn who doesn't seem to be paying attention. Before turning to look at Brittany and Frannie, both looked completely unperturbed by the power that was on display. "This isn't normal," she mumbles under her breath and looks at Russell for support, but her ex-husbands eyes are glued to the field below. All Judy had wanted was normal daughters. Normal daughters that she could help with their love lives and impart some wisdom, but it was quickly becoming clear that her daughters probably didn't need her.
"Tha—that's a level five?" Hiram managed to get out, wondering if they should also get up and run away. But none of the Fabrays or the July's seemed like they were going to get up and he wasn't sure what the protocol was. So instead he just reaches for his husband's hand and squeezes it tightly. They were definitely going to have a long talk with Rachel about the dangers of hanging around the Fabray family.
~ O ~
Santana was not having an easy time as she gasped for air, she suspected that Charlie was toying with her. But she didn't want to just wave the white flag, and admit defeat. She would consider it a win if she could do some damage. A cut. Hell she'd even settle for causing Charlie to hesitate, but she doubted that Charlie would let her mount a proper offense. So even though she knew it would hurt, she needed to make a stand right now and right here. She needed to get hotter, she needed to get faster and she needed to match Charlie.
Santana inhales filling her lungs, before exhaling trying to control her abilities, only for Charlie who was now flickering all over the ring all over the ring, in an attempt to disorient her, suddenly appears in front of her, causing the ring to crack under the tremendous pressure that Charlie was exerting. Santana can only watch as Charlie lifts her hand and places a finger on her chest and gives her a little push. She's not sure what's happening as her body begins to fall, and she finds herself sitting on the remnants of the ring staring up at Charlie.
The sound of the buzzer fills the air, and immediately Charlie's eyes return to normal and the entire stadium stops groaning under the weight of Charlie's enormous power. Santana blinks at how quickly Charlie had shut everything down, and she can't help but laugh at the absurdity of what had just happened. "I'm never going to beat you am I?"
"Nope," Charlie informs her, popping the p, and extending her hand for Santana. "But you did last longer than I thought you would," Charlie admits. "And you didn't shit or wet yourself, good job Santana."
Santana rolls her eyes and grabs Charlie's hand, letting Charlie pull her up. She takes a look around at the damage that Charlie caused and winces, "That was you at full power?"
"That was me at a fraction of my power, I can't control all my power and the last thing I want to do is change the poles of the earth, I can't imagine that will be good," Charlie admits, before there's a loud growl that escapes from her stomach causing Charlie to look down at it. She rubs her tummy and flashes a smile at Santana, "Excuse me, I need to go find something to eat," she informs Santana before floating over to where her family was to see if they had anything for her to eat.
Santana stares at where Charlie had once been and she can't help but to start laughing again.
