Another day of training it seemed. I didn't mind, i liked it when everyone trained. Today was the day that Hank was going to show me my equipment! I was so excited but the others had to have their training before mine.

I was with Mr. Charles as he was with Alex. Hank was with us to and Alex was putting his disc on. I stood on the right side of the dummy while Mr. Charles was on the right. Hank was putting a tape X on the dummy as if to show where Alex was suppose to hit.

"Thank you Hank." Mr. Charles said amused. Hank walked to where he was behind Alex. Alex was confused. "Why are they just standing there?" he thought.

"Why are you guys not moving?" he asked out loud.

"We're helping you close in on the target." Mr. Charles said. Alex's eyes widened. "I am not firing with Tara so close!" he shouted. I smiled at the thought. He had become very protective.

"I'll be ok Alex. You don't have to worry. You can do this." I projected. He looked to me. I smiled wider and gave him a thumbs up. He looked really conflicted though.

"You can do this Alex. You can control this." Mr. Charles said. Alex took a deep breath but nodded. He started charging his power. A beam of pure energy shot and hit the dummy exactly. As the smoke cleared i saw Alex laughing and smiling. i ran over and hugged his side so i wouldn't touch the hot part.

"you did it!" i said in excitement. He put an arm around. "Excellent job Alex." Mr. Charles said proudly. Alex was really happy. "Do it again!" i said jumping up and down. All three of them laughed. "Maybe a little bit later." Mr. Charles said.

In a little bit i was with Raven in the weight room. I was watching Mr. Charles and Hank threw the window. i was watching through Hank's mind to hear what was going on. He knew and was giving me permission.

"If you want to beat me this time, you have to set the beast free." Mr. Charles said as Hank took off his shoes. "I hope this works." Hank thought in worry. "On your mark. Get set. Go!" Mr. Charles said before the took off. Hank quickly overtook him and starting running really fast.

"I'm doing it. I'm doing! Tara, I'm doing it!!!!" he thought in excitement. i laughed and clapped my hands. Raven looked to me in confusion. "Congratulations Hank." i projected to him.

Mr. Charles had been teaching me simple exercises to do some minor projections and stuff that i could control and work on while waiting for my equipment. Hank caught Mr. Charles by surprise and they both stopped running, both laughing.

"Congratulations my friend. Robert Louis Stevenson would have been proud." Mr. Charles said patting him on the back.

"Impressive Hank. Feet like those, all you need is a red nose. Right Bozo?" Alex mocked. "That was mean Alex!"  i shouted in his head making Alex flinch. Hank probably noticed and smirked, thanking me in his head.

I loved all of them like my brothers and would treat them as such. I told Darwin in the kitchen that Hank was heading his way through his mind.

I watched as Raven lifted the heavy weights. I was lifting arm weights, each 10 pounds. They were blue! All of a sudden the weights Raven were lifting floated in the air. She looked to me but i shrugged before turning to the door.

"If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only paying half attention to whatever else you're doing." Mr. Erik said. Raven stared at him. "Just saying something that could save your life." he said. all of a sudden the weights dropped but Raven caught them turning back to her normal self.

I smiled. I like seeing Raven look like her true self.

"You want society to accept you. You can't even accept yourself." Mr. Erik said walking away. I walked over to Raven.

"I don't like that you hide." i whispered. She gave me a soft smile and pat my head.

Now I was with Mr. Erik and Mr. Charles with Sean on the top of the satellite. Sean had his device being hooked up by Hank who was also up here with us.

"You truly believe i'll fly this time?" Sean asked. "Unreservedly." Mr. Charles said.

I need to find out what that word means later.

"I trust you." Sean said. "I'm touched." Mr. Charles said. "I don't trust him." Sean said looking to Hank. i giggled and Mr. Erik put a hand on my shoulder although he had a smirk.

"Say nothing." Mr. Charles said to Hank. "I'm gonna die!" Sean cried. "You can do it Sean!" i said. He turned to me and gave me a small smile. "All right. Look we're not going to make you do anything you don't feel comfortable with." Mr. Charles said.

"Here let me help." Mr. Erik said pushing him off the satellite. I screamed and went to the edge to stop Sean from free falling with he let out a scream and-

""He's flying!" i yelled watching him fly away. I laughed and clapped my hands, cheering for him. I turned to the two adults. They were smirking at me.

"You're turn." they said simultaneously.
