Fantasy Everything Is Not As It Seems...

[JKthegreat]

"Because you're addicted to them" Tobias said, turning calmly to face Lake and putting his hands in his pockets "And that stops. Today." He brushed past her as he walked, and then turned to face her. "Oh" he said lifting up the bottle of pills that he had just taken from her pocket "And I'm taking these to" And at that he disappeared around a corner.

 

[Girouette]

"Well. I don't know about them. But I think Flight is a pretty good start too my own superhero agenda!"


He laughed a bit. And was quite glad he had seemingly made a friend in this insanity. And was starting to relax a bit and get more comfortable with the idea of..Well, his whole life being a lie...


They got to the room finally, and he found one of the smaller boxes. Only seemingly able to hold a few things.


He opened up to find..Well. A book he had currently been reading that was sitting open on the end of his bed when he went to sleep. Nice, he supposed. Not super valuable..But..His laptop was also in the box. Seemingly because he didn't have very many valuables they just took some things from his room..


Ah. A change of clothes..


And with that. He realized he was still in the pajamas he had been wearing the night before. Feeling only a tinge of embarrassment for Exercise shorts and his t-shirt that proudly stated that he liked to wear pictures of the earth in his sleep."


But what got his interest was the blue stuffed bear lying on the bottom of the box...Why would they take that? He smiled. And it filled him with a bit of sadness. But also..Happiness.


His old life wasn't a lie. It was real. Real as his powers and his smile, It made him him. And this bear was testament to that.


He smiled. Before picking the box up and walking to the door.


"I'm going to go put this stuff in the room I woke up in. I hope nobody kills each other..."


And then he saw Tobias leave. And he followed. Trying to catch up with him , still holding the box.


"Oh. hey! I have some questions about this. How are we going to try to get me to fly? And also..back there..This was this thing. When I talked. I wanted to ask..."


He trusted this Scientist even more now. He had brought remnants of their old life, and he seemed to be quite helpful and care for their well being.

 

[KneelingAngel]

"What?!" Lake snapped. "You can't do that!" She said and walked after Tobias. "They're mine! I need them!" She hated how desperate she sounded, but she really needed them, wanted them. "Give them back!"

 

[JKthegreat]

I ran after Lake and grabbed her by the wrist. "Hey, hey" I said soothingly, tugging her back lightly, but firmly enough that she couldn't get out of it "Relax ok. You think you need them now, but this is when you break their hold on you. This is when you fight back. I'm speaking from experience when I say they don't get rid of the pain, they only stall it. And stalling is like procrastination, eventually it will catch up to you."

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Let go of me!" Lake pleaded, trying to pull her arm free. "I don't care that they don't get rid of the pain. I just fucking need them! Let go!" Pulling her arm and scratched Oliver's hand, trying to get the hand off of her as tears of frustration and panic appeared in her eyes. "You don't know me! LET GO!" The moment she screamed the iron that was within 8 feet from her bend shape.

 

[Hibes]

Cole put down, the bottle from his hand, and went up to Tobias. He stopped before him so that he would stop. He asked him silently. "Is there an underground training room? If so in which direction is it?" His voice was calm and suspicious in the same time.

[JKthegreat]

I saw the metal bend and I got startled. "Was t-that you?" I asked slightly frightened and letting go of her wrist, knowing that the metal bending could distract her for now.

 

[KneelingAngel]

"No!" Lake shouted in first response. "I-I don't know!" Her breathing became uneven again and she started shaking. What did she do? What was going on with her? "Leave me alone!" She pushed Oliver to the side and stomped towards the room she had awakened in with her guitar, hoping that Oliver hadn't seen her tears spilling from her eyes. As soon as she found an exit, she was heading home

 

[JKthegreat]

"Giro, the only way we can test it is either one, throwing you off a building or two, putting under extreme conditions of stress" Tobias said "Oh and Cole, at the end of this corridor, the door on the left leads to some stairs. Get to the bottom and the training sector is there. Now what is your other question, Giro?"


I decided that even though she told me to leave her alone, I knew the feeling she had all to well, and I knew that you could do stupid things when you felt like that. " I walked fast to the room she went in and knocked lightly on the door. "Look" I said through it "I know I don't know you, but thats why I'm here, to get to know you. I know your situation, and I can relate. I just want to try and help you get through this. Can I come in?"

 

[KneelingAngel]

"No! Fuck off!" Lake snarled from her position in bed, her face buried in the grey pillow, trying to hide her tears from herself. "There is no way that you can relate to me, no one can! Now piss off before I call Cole to beat you up! I don't need help! I need my fucking drugs!"

 

[Girouette]

"Um..Well, I'd rather be thrown off of a building..Um..My second question was...Where are we living, in those rooms we woke up in? ? And What are we supposed to be doing? Socializing and training our powers?"


He wouldn't mind that. but considering what he had told them earlier. He thought that won't be the case. But regardless of that...


"And...Our..Families...And our lives before this..Do you think..After it's all over we can go back?"

 

[Hibes]

Cole nodded as a thanks, and went to the box, which was supposed to contain his personal belongings. He took a peek inside the box, and then grabbed the whole box. He seemed to be waiting for something...

[JKthegreat]

"Well basically, yes, thats it" Tobias said "You need to get to know one another, because you will be spending a lot of time together in the weeks and months to come."


I sighed and slumped with my back up against the door. There was not much I could do to change her mind, and I didn't think barging in without an invitation was a good idea. So I just sat there,

 

[KneelingAngel]

Lake sighed in annoyance and stormed to her door, ripping it open. "I told you to piss off!" She snapped, not even caring if the other saw her puffy, teary eyes. "What the hell do you want from me?! What do I have to do to get you to leave, huh?!" She was getting real pissed and heard metal bend behind her, she just didn't dare look. This was all just a bad dream!

 

[Hibes]

Cole went to Oliver. "Hey buddy... Umm you see... I'm sorry for what happened. Sometimes I lose controll that's all." Told him honestly, and reaching his arm in order to apologize.

[JKthegreat]

"Its fine" I said turning to Cole for a second and shaking his hand "I understand, it happens to me too" I then turned to Lake and said "Let me in to talk to you for 5 minutes, thats all I'm asking, and if you want me to leave after that, I'll leave"

 

[KneelingAngel]

"You get thirty seconds." Lake said and wiped her face with her shirt. She went back to her bed and sat against the wall, leaving the door open so Oliver could walk in. She crossed her arms and ankles and looked anywhere but towards the two guys. "I'd start talking if I were you, because your time just went in."

 

[JKthegreat]

I walked in and shut the door softly behind me. I sat down on the edge of the bed, and started slowly because I hadn't actually said these words out loud in a long time. "I used to...have a...little brother" I choked a little bit as I spoke because it was hard to say still "He was the nicest little kid you would ever meet. Cheeky as all hell, but man did I love him. And then one day, when I was 10, I got in the car from school and my mom told me that my brother was...uhm" a few tears came down my face and I didn't stop them. I needed this as much as she did "He had cancer, lung cancer. We tried a lot but, he never made it." At this they were really starting to come. I realised that I had gone a little bit over 30 seconds, so I said "SOrry, I'll go now"

 

[KneelingAngel]

"How is that related to me?" Lake asked before Oliver reached the door. "That has absolutely nothing to do with me. I don't have any brother or sisters. I-I have no one! I just have me…" She mumbled and pulled her knees to her chest, hating how venerable she felt.

 

[Hibes]

"How is she?" Asked Cole from Oliver as he came out. Cole was worried about her quite a bit. He knew that if someone uses drugs, then there must be a reason behind it.

[JKthegreat]

I turned, so that I could finish the story. "What came after can relate to you" I said, my voice steadying slightly "I started smoking weed when I was 14. It took it away. All the pain, all the guilt, all the sadness. It made it disappear. When I felt alone, it felt like I wasn't because I had this stuff that made me feel like life was a breeze. Or at least thats what I thought. All it actually did was f*** me up more, because it just delays everything ,it just pushes it back and pushes it back until you eventually reach your break point. Thats when I stopped, at my break point, and 'm trying to help you so you don't even have to go that far. You may think I'm nothing like you, but my brother was the only one I had, my parents were completely ignoring towards me. So I have no one too, but please, don't turn to drugs to take that feeling away. Cause I did that, and look how I turned out." I gestured to the tear stains on my face, to my bruised ribs, and swollen lip "Please, I just, don't want to see someone end up like me, having hit rock bottom and not sure if i can climb back up."

 

[KneelingAngel]

"Fuck you!" Lake snapped again. She was furious. "I don't need your sympathy! I was fine before I got kidnapped and got stuck with you guys! Give me my drugs, let me hit rock bottom and see if I care! You changed, good for you!" She gritted her teeth together. "I don't need to hear your fucking life story! I don't need anyone! I've been perfectly fine on my own! I've always been alone and that's how it will stay!" Dropping herself on the bed, Lake turned around facing the wall. She did not want to talk about any of it! She rubbed the tears away and rubbed her nose, not letting him see her face again.

 

[JKthegreat]

"Perfectly fine?" I said loudly on the verge of shouting "You're not perfectly fine! Can't you see that, can't you feel that. You say you don't want my sympathy well fine, you're gonna get it anyway because you are not alone right now and I don't care what you say I'm standing right here. I've been through it too, and whether you like it or not for the time that you and I are in the same premises I will be here to help you. So say you're alone and think you're alone all you want but I'm. Still. Right. Here."

 

[Hibes]

Cole knocked on Lake's door. "Hey girl! It's me! Can I come in? I'd like to show you something." Told her Cole as he was standing there with the box of his personal belongings.

[KneelingAngel]

"I don't need you here!" Lake shouted and jumped up from the bed, getting into Oliver's personal space. "Don't you get it? I don't want anyone! I don't need anyone! If I kill myself then so be it! Why would you care? Because we're related? Is that it?! I'll kill you if you don't leave me alone! I have the power to do so now, so don't test me! I don't want to talk about my problems. They are my problems and should stay that way! I don't need you, or anyone else, to care about me! I don't like it! Stay the hell away from me, stay the hell out of my space and don't stick your nose into my problems!" She opened her bedroom door and kicked him out. "You," She pointed at Cole. "You stay away too!" with that she slammed her door shut and ran towards her bed.
