As the teenagers came closer to the ground, Ashton leaned towards Nash, extending her hand to him. Reluctantly, he grabbed it. And as if an invisible force stopped them, Jennette and Nash remained in the air, holding onto Ashton's arms. Jennette, still not fully grasping the situation, slipped up and let go of Ashton's hand, Ashton beginning to soar down further until Nash held her up.
"What the hell is happening?!?" Nash yelled, pulling Ashton up and holding her bridal style. Jennette remained suspended in the air, kicking her legs wildly.
"I have telekinesis , but I can't hold my self up. I can move you two, however. So one of you need to carry me, whenever we're in the air." she looked at Nash and rolled her eyes, scoffing. "Doesn't mean I like you."
Jennette looked down and noticed the collapsing building beneath her. She looked at Ashton and Nash.
"We should, like leave." she said, still not understanding how she was floating in mid-air. She waved her arms around slowly, getting used to the feeling of no gravity. Nash looked at Ashton.
"Take us somewhere," he said, and she moved her arms in motions, bringing Jennette closer to herself and moving the trio through the air. Men on the ground shot up to the trio, but missed terribly. Ashton cursed at the men below, saying a slur about their mothers. Jennette laughed. Nash shook his head.
"Ashton, look that's Reese's car!" Jennette pointed down, as Ashton flew them away from the secluded island , they noticed a silver car gliding down the street. Jennette looked at her, and Ashton nodded.
"We should get a ride, people might be slightly confused to see teenagers in the air." Ashton said, and lowered them to the ground on the sidewalk. Reese was several cars ahead, and Jennette began running full speed.
"I'll catch up with him. " she said, dashing off. Nash and Ashton examined each other, and looked back at the silver car that was slowing down for Jennette. "How are we going to explain to him that we have powers?" They looked at each other.

Nash was driving, Ashton was in passenger, and Reese and Jennette were sitting in the backseat. It was oddly quiet in the car, and not even the music playing in the background was enough to make everything comfortable. After a long car ride, Reese spoke.
"Anybody care to explain to me what the hell is going on?" The question sat still in the air for a few minutes, until Ashton sighed deeply.
"Can we explain when we get home?" Ashton said, and Reese responded with a quiet mumble. After a good fifteen minutes, Reese leaned over and placed his cheek on Jennette's shoulder, only to be burned and jumping back up.
"Wha-" he pulled away, and rubbed his cheek. "You burned me!" he backed away and looked at Jennette. She only shrugged.
"We'll explain when we get home." she said monotone. The car ride was awkwardly silent once more.

"So you're telling me you guys have powers?" The trio nodded. "And you broke away from a prison?" More nods. Reese sat for a moment quietly, most likely pondering this situation."That's so cool!'' he exclaimed, and Jennette nodded her head. "I know right??" she agreed.
"So you believe us?" Nash said. Reese nodded.
"Can you show me your guys' powers?" he asked excitedly.
"Uhh, yeah. But we should probably go outside , some of them are dangerous." Ashton said, looking at Jennette with a small grin. She smiled ecstatically.

After Ashton , Nash and Jennette showed Reese their powers behind Reese's apartment building, they retreated back inside to discuss the situation. Jennette and Reese sat next to each other on the couch, Ashton sat on a stool and Nash sat in a plush red chair."So we kinda need to hang low for a bit, unless we wanna go back to that scientific Hellhole." Ashton explained. Nash and Jennette nodded in agreement. Reese perked up.
"Well, most likely your parents are going to alert the media once they know of your safe return, so you can just stay here until you find out the next move." Reese offered. Everybody shrugged.
"Then it's a deal. We are going to chill here!" Jennette exclaimed. Suddenly, a bright flash shot across the room, a bolt of fire grazing the chair that Nash resided in. He jumped up and fanned his clothes.
"What was that for Jennette??" he screamed, and she threw her hands up in defense.
"Oh, blame it on the fire wielder!" she rolled her eyes.
"Who else could've done it??" he crossed his arms, eyes shooting from her and the chair he now had issues with.
It was awkwardly silent for a moment, until Ashton spoke.
"It was Reese." she came up with a solution.
"What? How?" he cocked his head like a puppy and frowned. Ashton pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You were touching Jennette's hand. She got excited, and surged through her and passed through to his hand, ultimately shooting off towards Nash." Ashton got a curious look on her face. "I wonder if you can channel others' powers...." her voice trailed off, and her face lit up and darkened with ideas, like a dimmer switch light bulb.
"Try again. But like, in the sink or something. Something flame resistant." So Jennette and Reese walked hand in hand to the sink, and Reese held his hand towards the sink. Jennette focused for a moment, and flames shot through Reese's hand .He sat there with his jaw open.
"That. Was. Amazing!" he exclaimed, and Jennette smiled. Ashton looked at Reese.
"Let's try a new power. Nash , hold Reese's hand. Then Reese, pick up something incredibly heavy." Reese and Nash gave each other odd looks.
"Can he just touch my arm or something?" Nash said, and Ashton sighed.
"If it works, I guess."
So Reese left his arm on Nash's arm, and walked over to the couch. He lifted it with one handed ease. Ashton hummed.
"I wonder if you can take powers without contact. Just try touching Nash's arm and then try picking up the couch again. " So Reese did as he was told, and lifted the couch with ease.
"Are you serious?" Nash stood in disbelief. Reese smiled and admired his couch lifting arm.
"Awesome." he said. Ashton looked at him.
"Try taking Jennette's hand, shoot flames, and without touching Nash, try lifting the couch once more." So Reese led Jennette to the sink, shot a small bolt of flames, then walked over to the couch. He couldn't lift it.
"So you can take other's powers, but you can only hold one at a time. Interesting..." Ashton said,and she bit her lip.
"Guess you have to lay low , too." Nash said, and Reese shrugged.
"Guess so."
