Chapter 23: The Truth

                                    

                                          
I looked at her in shock.
                          
Her Right eye was glowing blue, just like my left eye.
                          
"S/n?! Is that really you?"
                          
She looked at me. As if she didn't know me.
                          
"Y/n? That's- that really is you?!"
                          
"Well yeah obviously-I mean WHAT THE HECK?!"
                          
I take a step closer.
                          
"I thought I was the only one who could do this?"
                          
S/n ran up to me and engulfed me into a hug.
                          
"I thought you knew?"
                          
"Knew what?"
                          
"About this."
                          
"What?"
                          
"Mom didn't tell you? Of course she didn't, she wasn't able to." S/n put her hand to her forehead.
                          
"What is this anyway? You have powers too? I thought I was just special?"
                          
"Uh I'm related to you bro, obviously we are gonna get at least some of the same things."
                          
"Anyways how you holding up about uh- mom? I wanted to ask you. Why weren't you sad on the phone about mother um- being murdered- you know?"
                          
"Well obviously I have to keep my composure for my little sis right?"
                          
I cocked an eyebrow at her.
                          
"Fine, truth is, when I ended the phone call with you, I cried, so so much, I really did try to keep my composure, I didn't want you to cry if I started to."
                          
"Aw Sis I didn't know." I said tightening the hug.
                          
"But you need to know some real truth. About this right here." S/n said letting go of the hug implying that she's talking about my powers.
                          
No.


                          
Not my powers.


                          
Our Powers
                          
"Let's sit down." S/n said pointing to an empty table.
                          
I rushed over there and touched the chair.
                          
"Play." 
                          
The chair was now moveable. I motioned for S/n to sit.

                          
I did the the same for the other chair. This time I sat on it.
                          
"Woah woah woah, you can play and pause individual things? I didn't learn that til I was 19!"
                          
"Oh. Yeah I can do that. Wait? What do you mean learn?"
                          
"You know how I graduated from SFIT at 17?"
                          
"Yes? Why?"
                          
"So when I graduated I got my powers and Mom told me about them. The ability to Manipulate time."
                          
I was shocked, ability to manipulate time? I thought I could only stop and resume time? Manipulate sounds like I could do anything with it.
                          
"Have I ever told you what I worked as in Los Angles?"
                          
"You said you were a computer and information research scientist. Right?"
                          
"Well yeah but, other than that.-." She leaned in closer to whisper to me. Not like anyone can hear us, since time is frozen.
                          
"I worked a special place called the S.T.A.R. Scientific Technological Anomaly Research. That my dear n/n, is where I learned how to control and grow my powers."
                          
"Woah, but how did mom know about STAR?"
                          
"Idiot, don't you know how genetics work?"
                          
I looked at her blankly.
                          
Oh Sweet Honey Iced Tea
                          
"WHAAAAAAT?"
                          
That explains so much.
                          
The Liv Amara thing.
                          
Why mom isn't really dead.
                          
Her trying to commit suicide 
                          
My powers?'
                          
"How did you not figure that out by now? You are a 15 year old prodigy."
                          
"-I"
                          
"Classic N/n."
                          
"Anyways." She said getting up from her seat.
                          
"Aren't you excited to see you're older sis?" S/n said holding out her hands for a hug.
                          
"Yup!" I said hugging her.
                          
"I want you to tell me more about your boyfriend Hiro."
                          
"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!" I pushed her away.
                          
"Haha, sure."

                          
"I want you to tell me more about what mom taught you about your powers."
                          
"Course, but we're gonna have to go to your room and resume time again, can't leave everything here like this." S/n said, pushing her chair in.
                          
" 🎵 and then you get to tell me bout your boyfriend Hiro 🎵." S/n Continued to say again in a sing songy voice.
                          
"He. Is. Not. My. BOYFRIEND!!!"
                          
"Yet! Let's go upstairs!"
                          
"S/nnnn." You whined.
                          
"Come on, I travel all the way from LA and this is your warm welcome? Feels pretty cold to me, ya got a jacket?" S/n said going up the stairs.
                          
"You haven't changed a bit."
                          
"You haven't either, course you got your powers and all that. When did you get your powers actually?"
                          
"It all started, in this very cafe."
