(Oh, I thought you meant in the room, sorry!)
Skylar walked to her kitchen in the next room, "What do you want? I have ice cream, yogurt, or some fruit salad," she said. Skylar opened the ice cream carton to get herself some ice cream, only to find out it was empty, "Never mind, I don't have any ice cream," Skylar made a mental note to get groceries the next day.
"Yogurt for me, thanks." Luca's stomach grumbled, and he realized that he hadn't eaten anything since lunch.
Skylar nodded and brought some fruit salad for herself and decided if Cece wanted any, she could just have some of the fruit salad, "Ok, now, the real talk," Skylar's face suddenly became grave, "Cece, you know this already, but I haven't told you, Luca."
"Know what?" He took a spoon and ate some of the yogurt. Luca knew that Skylar had been hiding something when she came to his apartment, but now he might find out what.
Soooo… you know how you have the power of water and Cece can manipulate technology… er… something? Wellllll…" Skylar held out her palm and a flame burst into existence.
Luca jumped back slightly. "Woah…so it's not just me and the wolf girl!" He turned to Cece. "And wait, you have a power too?"
“Yup.” Cece answered, a little shaken up from being dragged across a street. She walked over to Skylar’s microwave and touched it. Immediately it sprung to life and started cooking something non existent. “Also, it’s energy, not technology manipulation,”
"Close enough," Skylar waved it off, "Oh, and sorry about how sudden all this is, but I thought it was important. I think we should do something with these powers of ours."
“Definitely,” Cece said. “I’m not sure about you guys, but I’m sick of hiding.”
Skylar nodded, "We can be superheros! We could have costumes and everything!"
“Okay, we should probably not jump to that,” Cece explained, “We haven’t had training or anything,”
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Skylar sulked, "But who's going to teach us how to control our powers?"
“I know someone,” Cece said in a sour tone. “Tomorrow at midnight, meet me outside this apartment. On the dot.”
Skylar nodded, "Ok, see you then. Unless you guys want to stay, of course."
"Again, this seems really shady and creepy. I just started trusting you guys." Luca crossed his arms.
"Oh, yeah. I guess you're right," Skylar shrugged, "I'm just gonna go ahead and do it; it seems like my only option."
He sighed, nodding. "Alright. I guess I'll be here at midnight."
"Ok, see you guys then!" Skylar led them to the door, "It was nice having you guys!"
Luca nodded in agreement. "Thanks for having us over." He waved as he walked down the hallway, heading home.
Cece nodded before walking out the door. Great. She hadn't seen her dad in ages, and now she just asked two complete strangers to come see him. What were they going to say to him? 'Hey, we've all got powers! Can you teach us how to not to kill people with them?'
Luca tried to get to his house quickly so he had time to finish homework and get some rest before midnight.
Cece went straight to the phone when she got home. She needed to hire a nurse to take care of her mum. She had no idea how long she'd be gone. Once she had done that, she flopped onto her bed, not bothering to change.
Skylar turned on her phone and browsed the internet. She wouldn't be able to sleep, so she put an alarm on for 11:55 so she could be there early.
Luca finished his homework and plopped onto his bed after setting an alarm for 11:30. He really needed rest after today.
Cece rolled around in bed, then realized she should probably set an alarm. She zaps the battries of her alarm clock into action, then sets an alarm for 11:45.
Skylar looked at the time, 11:25. It was taking forever for midnight to come. She decided to take a walk, but immediately regretted it when she felt the chilly air. She walked back inside and went back on her phone to pass more time.
Cece continued to roll around, but she was wide awake. She looks a the time before deciding she could just leave now. She grabbed a jacket from the coat rack and went outside, on her way to Skylar's apartment.
Luca managed to fall asleep for five minutes when his alarm went off. He silenced it and grabbed his jacket, his brother's journal, and his phone. Carefully, he grabbed a set of keys next to the door and crept out of the house, trying not to wake up his mom.
