Noah's pov (unexpected).
She just stands there, mouth wide open staring at Alex who had gone back drinking his coffee.
"W-what the heck did you just do?" Soal stutters, shock clear on her face.
Alex smiles into his drink.
"My power is best described as being that of a sorcerer."
"Elliot." I interrupt. "Your turn"
Elliot stands up and walks off to the fire place.
"I, milady, have the power of flames." He opens his palm and it bursts into flames. He then makes a throwing motion towards the fire place, lighting it up.
"I can also do fire in colors and smells and junk." He sits down laughing quietly at the face on my sister.
"Ash?" I gesture towards him.
"Alright." He stands up and walks over to Soal.
"Now, honey, I want you to think of a number from one to a million."
She nods.
He stares into her eyes and then declares, "Three? Really? Could you at least choose a 5 digit number?"
She stares at him then goes back to thinking of her number.
"Ah. That's better. Thirty-three thousand four hundred sixty seven. Now think of something completely random."
A couple moments later he speaks again.
"'My unicorn just got bested by a narwhal with a pickle in one hand and a kumquat in the other' I like your imagination."
She just looks at him.
"How did you....?"
"I'm a telepath, babes. I know everything you know."
"Okay. Tate." I nudge him.
"I just remember everything I see here or touch. After that, I can copy or recite it perfectly. And yes, that means I can shape shift. Here. Let me show you."
He stands up and stares at Soal. Taking in every inch if her body. She starts to squirm and get self-conscious so I grab her hand reassuringly.
Finally, Tate averts his eyes and closes them. A few seconds of silence pass before he starts to change. He shrinks a couple of inches and his hair goes back into his skull until it’s just below his jawline. His figure becomes more alike to Soal and his clothes are becoming too big for him. He opens his eyes and we watch as they turn a startlingly green color. I am now looking at two identical Soal's.
"Whoa" the real one says as she circles around him.
"Sorry it took so long to change. I haven't changed into you before."
"Oh that's alright. You guys are incredible."
"Do you believe me now?" I laugh to her. She nods her head so fast I think it's going to fall off.
"But wait. What can you do, Noah?"
"Ah, my dearest Soal. That is a question worth asking. Unfortunately, I cannot show you here. It requires a lot of space. And no people."
"Let's go to the mountains then"
I look at her for a second then declare,"ROAD TRIP!!!"
