“Our best bet is bringing her back down to earth.” A psychic’s power activating to this sudden, massive degree is unheard of,” Chloe said, rubbing her chin. They shared a look, their lips pursed, as Mirtala levitated higher, reaching the roof of the three-story building. The rain consolidated near her, enlarging the ribbons that wreathed around her. They surveyed Mirtala, watching as she remained perfectly still. Chloe rounded to his side, forming a visor with her hands. I’ll go back to the party and-”īobby didn’t need to look back to grab Benny by the collar of his jacket.
I’m not sure how, um, useful I’ll be here. “So, uh-” Benny coughed into his fist, soaked from head to toe. Rational thoughts escaped him, leaving him to simmer in the humid rain. He blinked the rain out of his eyes, but his vision still blurred with the liquid collecting on his glasses, growling under his breath. He’d apologize later.īobby raked his fingers through his sopping wet mop of hair, forcing his bangs out of his face. He hardly raised his voice at Chloe, but the situation called for it. “Can you two shut the fuck up?” Bobby barked, startling them into silence. I realize this situation is very tumultuous, but we’re going to think of something-”īenny spat, “Think of what, genius? You can coordinate spaceships and build a bunch of crap to pilot spaceships for you, but you want us to-!” The rain pelted down on them, the wind whipping at their dirtied clothing, the pizza thoroughly soaked through the box, a gift for the raccoons.Ĭhloe groaned through her clenched teeth, her brow furrowing. Watery threads stroked her shoulders and limbs.
When his consciousness returned, he realized Mirtala was floating toward the sky. She was a bottle of shaken champagne ready to blow its cork, but just before Benny and Bobby could mention it, Mirtala’s eyes abruptly widened, and her face contorted.Īfterward, all Bobby remembered was a flash of lightning, a sudden downpour, and his body colliding against the trash cans, blacking out for several seconds. Mirtala was unskilled, untrained as she willed her power to come forth. Bobby wasn’t one to criticize Chloe’s methods, but even he saw the problem. Chloe had pushed her, urging her to try harder. Even with one glass of wine in her system, Mirtala couldn’t summon her telekinetic fingers. He came along with the others.)īut Mirtala hadn’t been able to replicate her telekinetic triumph. (Who’s apartment complex were they at again? Bobby, in a fit of shock and a slightly drunken haze, completely forgot. She was supposed to just lift the pizza again in the alleyway outside the party. Unfortunately, the woman hovering high above their heads with water shifting around her like thick, swaying ribbons had been the adverse result. If he considered unlocking Mirtala’s potential a plus, Chloe’s experiment to tap into her mental forte was successful. What had transpired in the last twenty minutes had been nothing short of Chloe’s experiment going wrong, or in one way, right.
On any other night, they could’ve bickered until the cows came home, as JT would say.īut tonight was not that night.
He hoped with all his heart for them to suddenly lose their voices. “How was I supposed to anticipate her psychic ability would surpass my expectations? You two told me she was barely telekinetic and-”īobby wished they would shut up. “For starters, you know that’s not true,” Chloe retorted. “You couldn’t go one night without thinking, ‘I wanna conduct a volatile experiment,’ huh, Chloe?” “You just had to make this a weird Saturday night?” Benny shrieked, throwing his arms out.
