The Seven Deadly Sinners

21

"So...do we have powers now? Is that a thing that happened?" I asked.

"Yes. Well, I'm assuming so. We can't use them until you let us," Colby said.

"Let you?" I asked.

"Yeah, you have to give us permission to use them. You can take them away at any time, too. You're the one with the most trusted judgement, so if you think we can't handle or will misuse the power, you can take it away. Either permanently or temporarily. Or just never let us have them in the first place," he explained. I actually really loved that idea. If someone was pissing me off, they just wouldn't get their powers until they apologized. That'd be really fun to do.

"I made a list for you. That's why I was reading when you woke up, to learn about everything. There's a list for each of us with all of our details and powers and everything. I'm going to go let everyone else know you're awake. Here's this," Colby said. He picked up a few sheets of notebook paper and handed them to me, then left the room. I looked down at the papers and moved over to sit down at his desk and read.
