Chapter 33

Sam POV

I could not believe my eyes when I saw my own sister using powers that I didn't even know she had until this very moment in time.

"I can explain..." Alice said nervously and everyone looked surprised and nodded for her to go on, apart from Jay who was sitting in the corner of one of the seats of the bus, looking terrified out of his mind as though he never thought he would see powers in real life.

"Actually, hold that thought" I said before Alice could say anything and I came up to Jay, and sat down next to him, taking his hand, while his gaze fell upon me.

"It's okay Jay, everything is alright, powers here are kind of normal now. We have two superheros who fight evil guys who also have powers, so trust me you'll get use to it" I explained while I smiled at him and he looked at me and then chuckled.

"Okay, now that this is settled, and my panicking has stopped... HOW CAN I HAVE POWERS OF MY OWN TOO LIKE DUDE WHAT?!" Jay yelled and Luke finally turned towards his friend while rolling his eyes.

"Can you not? You'll break our ear drums" Luke said in a sassy tone and Helen just cackled in the background.

"He already broke mine so he's slowly but surely getting there" she commented, and Jay looked at her with a small pause, and then he came back to earth.

"So am I explaining what happened oooor???" Alice's voice echoed in the background, and as everyone turned around to listen to her, she sighed.

"Basically......

~Flashback~

It was quite late, and Felix and I were walking around the houses, while I was thinking about my huge coming back home, after years of going missing.

I felt really anxious but Felix reassured me that everything was going to be fine.

I smiled, and then I heard an explosion. I, of course, was one of the curious people so I turned my head around and the noise came from the abandoned building, not far away from where I was standing. Suddenly, I say light flashing towards where I was standing and I felt like it when through my stomach.

At that moment, I felt pain and held my stomach, wincing and not knowing what was happening, like I was somehow affected by the light, but Felix was completely fine.

He gasped, and that got my attention, so as I looked down I saw purple light coming out of me and I panicked, until my whole body system shut down all at once and I fainted just like that.

~flashback ends~

"The next morning I woke up having strange things happening to me. Firstly I noticed my purple lightning powers, and later on two other powers like super strength, which was a huge pain in the back for me as I've destroyed many things trying to control it, as well as Telekinesis which was honestly the most terrifying experience of my life. But here I am, knowing how to control it, and hid it from everyone." Alice finally finished explaining and my and Rachel shared a secret glance.

She got struck by the same light me and Rachel did, as well as the bad guys.

"Okay, well since you explained, what about Felix?" Luke said, twirling a random pen in his fingers.

"Oh right, I'm a demigod. My mother is the goddess of dark magic etc" Felix said quite simply and shrugged after which gained some nods and a squeal from Gemini who was probably excited they were both demigods.

~A week later~

Nothing has really been said or has happened after the road trip my friends and I have been on.

At this moment, I was actually in my house on the couch in my living room, reading a book, because there was nothing much on TV to really watch and enjoy.

Few minutes into my book, I heard footsteps coming from upstairs, and my sister Alice came to view, sitting on the smaller couch chair next to where I was and she looked at me, kind of serious but also kind of happy, which was weird.

"What's up?" I asked, sitting up and putting my book down to see her holding news papers and a notebook.

"I was kind of bored and I started researching, after the whole incident with the bus and how I used my powers. I actually found out from different news papers and articles on the internet that there are two superhero girls who are always saving the city, which are now quite popular, and what I found out about them really struck me" Alice said, and I looked at her surprised, but also worried that she could have found out about me and Rachel being those superheros.

Honestly though, until now she hasn't really shown an interest to those heros, and now she's actually into it all, but I was kinda curious why.

Suddenly I saw Alice use her powers to pick all the news letters up with her powers, and show them all to me, all featuring the superheroes.

"So, what I've found out was that they both have three powers each, just like me, and one of their powers they both share and it's a lightning power. Plasma Speed has blue lightning powers, obviously speed like Flash and Invisibility, while Physic Jump has red lightning powers, she can jump really high and not die in the process and she can also read minds! And you already know about my powers and I have a corresponding power like they do which is the lightning power but mine is purple! This is insane! They both could have been struck by the same light I was! Do you think they would let me join them?!" Alice yelled in excitement as she jumped up from her seat.

"Alice I don't think-" she cut me off while gasping and squealing, while putting down all those articles in neat pills on the table.

"Can you imagine?! Me next to two most known superheroes in this city, kicking some evil guys butts. This would honestly be so cool! I never thought of it until now!" She giggled and jumped up and down in excitement.

I sighed and stood up slowly, putting on a serious look.

"Alice listen, those superheroes put their lives in danger every time they need to save the city. They know what their doing. I don't want you coming home harmed because of a mission or not coming back home at all because something horrible happened to you. I don't want to loose you, neither does mum or dad, or even your boyfriend" I said calmly but she looked at me in shock, until her expression changed to anger.

"Shut up!! You're just jealous because I have powers and you don't! That I'll be able to fight along side the superheroes while you'll have to live a normal boring life! I knew you wouldn't understand!" Alice yelled and then stormed off up stairs and into her room, slamming the door behind her.

I sighed and rubbed my temples. This was the reason I didn't want to tell Alice about me having powers, but the fact she has some of her own makes this even worse.

Vicky POV

I was sitting in my room, in front of my dresser, looking at myself and trying to figure my whole life out.

My dad refused to talk to me after I said I didn't want to marry Thomas, and he also didn't stop with the wedding, but made my life worse by not letting Zack visit me at all.

My brother Jack has tried to cheer me up, which was really nice of him, and he even left me with his girlfriend so I could talk to her about my problems, which was really helpful as she was so mature about everything but also really understanding and has given me advice about everything, but I knew she couldn't really give me advice about the whole wedding situation, as I've already tried what I could.

I felt horrible. All my life I've been told how to dress, what to do and who to love. Don't get me wrong, I was allowed to have interests outside of school and inside of school that I wanted, I didn't have to go to posh schools if I didn't want to, and I was allowed to have any friends I wanted, however, with dress code, behaviour and my love life, that was completely different.

I started dating Zack in secret until my dad found out about it but he couldn't really stop me, because he didn't have a reason or a way to do so.

He was always proud of Jack. His girlfriend was from a good family, and he didn't have to worry about his behaviour because although he was a troublemaker and a rebel, he knew how to behave well. If he wanted to he could wear what ever he really wished for, even hoodies etc, while I was told to wear nice, girly clothing. That's why all my clothes are girly and pale coloured, especially because our family image is the family having a winter look to themselves, so he can't imagine his daughter coming out wearing all black because that would be a disgrace to the family.

Suddenly I heard a knock on my door, and as I opened the door I saw few maids come in and place something covered with a fabric layer, on my bed. It was huge which really confused me.

"Your father wanted you to have this for your wedding" one of the maids said, as they slightly bowed and left.

I didn't know how to react. This was irritating more and more each time someone mentioned the word wedding. If I was getting married to Zack, this would be a totally different story.

I came up to the item that the maids brought here and took the fabric off, of it and I gasped slightly looking at it.

It was my mother's wedding dress.

I felt tears streaming down my face, I was amazed at the sight and I didn't know what to feel.

I decided that I wanted to try it on, so I went into my bathroom dragging the dress with me.

After few minutes of trying to get in it, I finally did and I came out to look into my bigger mirror to look at myself. It fit me like a glove and I felt bad inside looking at myself.

I didn't think I could wear it knowing that I am marrying someone I don't see the way I see Zack. Don't get me wrong, Thomas is a wonderful person, and anyone who gets to be in a relationship is lucky, but we ended our relationship because we knew friendship was right for us. Some people were in disbelief, knowing how I talk so positively about him, knowing he was my ex, but I don't find it weird at all.

Also, I really want him to finally make a move on Sam, since it's pretty obvious that he's in love with her.

I moved around to look at myself in the mirror more, to see how it all looks like, until I felt something in the chest area, poking my skin.

When I looked down at my chest, and stretched the fabric of my dress to see what was inside -which btw looked weird and I am sure people would find it uncomfortable for me to look down like that- I found something sticking out of the fabric.

I put my hand down to pull the thing out, and as I did and took it out to look at it, I saw that it was a folded small bit of paper. Not really small, but not really big either.

I slowly unfolded it, and then I saw that it was a letter. Weirdly enough, it was addressed to me.

It said;

Dear Victoria,
I am writing this letter to you, and I am sure since you're reading this, it's probably because it's your special day and I am not there with you to support you through it. Just know that I love you more than you'll know, and don't be afraid of who you are.
I know you were born with powers just like your brother and you hated it from the start, but know that this special thing about it makes you so much more than you think.
Since it's your special day and you decided to wear my dress -which is so sweet- I wish you all the best and I hope you made the right decision. I want you to be happy wearing this dress, knowing that you are getting married to the right person, a person you choose to be with, not someone who was chosen for you, and if that's the case then I know you'll be able to go through it and make the right decisions for yourself.

Sincerely, your mother who loves you to the moon and back.

When I stopped reading the letter I felt tears streaming down my face once more. My hands were shaking and I felt like sobbing.

A sudden knock on the door, and someone opening it, made me stutter until I saw Thomas with cups of tea in his hands.

"Hey Vicky..Wow you look amazing- wait what's wrong?" Thomas facial expressions went from normal, to amazed to worried just in a space of few seconds, and he placed down the cups on the dresser while coming up to me and hugging me while I hugged back.

I felt more tears coming while Thomas was still confused although he could have assumed I am upset about the wedding still.

"That's my mum's dress and she left me I note" I said in between sobs and I handed him the letter, and once he read it, he hugged me tighter.

"It's all going to be fine, we'll get through this, like we always did" Thomas said calmly and I sighed and nodded.

Rachel POV

I had a causal walk in the near by park. It was a nice day and no one was hanging out because everyone was busy, which was sad but I was fine with it.

As I was looking around, I noticed Hiro, walking around, however something was odd about him as he seemed of lost something.

I jogged up towards him to see what's up.

"Hey Hiro, is everything okay?" I asked, finally reaching him and he looked at me in relief to see me but I could tell he was worried about something.

"Rachel! Thank goodness you're here! Gemini went missing and she was here literally 5 minutes ago and I'm worried sick. Gemini doesn't just walk off without announcing it to the whole world!" Hiro kept on saying really fast, while shaking in worry, while I looked concerned myself.

I tried to help him look for her, we called out her name and everything, but there was no use.

I deiced to use my mind reading on a bigger scale and see if I could catch her or perhaps someone she's around with. I kept on reading different minds until I caught someone's mind as it said that there was something going on, on the rooftops of one of the buildings.

Swiftly, I took Hiro's arm and dragged him to where I heard this person thinking about the whole rooftop situation. The building was tall, but I could see orangy hair flowing around in the air, and of course it was Gemini, being held by someone on the top.

"Omg, it's Gemini! We need to save her!" Hiro yelled out and I nodded in response, determined to do something, so I went around behind few building where no one could see me and I transformed to my costume, and ran out into the crowd of people.

The next thing I saw was the person drop Gemini down, and her falling into her death, which gained a lot of gasps from people around me, and a cry out from Hiro who panicked at the sight.

At that moment, I used my super jump, and started flying through the air upwards where Gemini was falling, and then we collided and I got ahold of her.

"Everything is going to be fine!" I yelled towards Gemini, who looked at me in surprise that I came to save her.

"Rachel? You are trying to save me?" She asked, as we started falling down again, and I kept myself in a good position where I could hold her and land on my feet.

"Well yeah, duh. I won't let you die, I am not that bad!" I said louder for her to hear because the wind was blocking some of the things I was saying.

Finally we landed, and I put her down while the crowd cheered for me that I saved her and Hiro hugged Gemini, while she hugged back.

I felt a smile tugging at my lips, knowing that I made them both happy, which is unusual because if it was few days ago, I would have loved her to cry over something.

"Thank you for saving her Rach!" Hiro yelled and hugged me, once the crowd was gone, and I laughed and hugged him back.

"No biggy really" I replied and we let go of each other, and then Gemini looked at me and smiled, while she also came and hugged me which was honestly really weird but I still hugged back.

"If you weren't here to save me, I would have died" Gemini said and I smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, no one from my friends will die on my watch" I replied and at that moment it was really good for me. I felt that me and Gemini actually bonded and I even managed to call her my friend which was odd to say the least, but none the less I was still proud of it all.

Thomas POV

~Few days later~

It was another school day, and I had a small plan. I've said before, I didn't want to give up on Sam at all, but it was time for me to change something about myself.

I decided to call none other than Felix to help me with this.

"Hey Felix, it's Thomas" I said as he answered my call. I actually managed to get his phone number from Alice.

"Wooow dude how on earth did you get my number?" Was his reply and I just rolled my eyes.

"I've asked for it, but any who, I need your help. I want to have a bad boy style to myself because...I have reasons" I said casually however my voice went nervous at the last part and he just laughed a bit.

"Alright well, I can help, but that will require for you to come over to mine for me to work my magic" Felix replied, and I was relieved that he was willing to help me so I agreed to meet him today.

I quickly ran out of my house, and after a 20 minute walk, I got to Felix's house which wasn't far off from where Sam lived, however it was still few blocks away so I wouldn't ran into Sam any time soon.

I went and knocked on the door of the house I waited patiently for an answer.

After few seconds, the door opened and I came face to face with a lady, assuming it was Felix's mother as she wasn't a teen or anything, however, she was definitely slightly younger than my dad.

She had long silky raven hair, violet eyes, an ivory skin, and she wore a brown jumper, mum jeans and slippers.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She asked with a very soothing voice, and then Felix came round and saw me.

"Oh mum, that's Thomas, he's coming to hang out with me today" Felix said to his mum before I could say a word and I smiled shyly and she nodded and smiled, walking off. I quickly made my way in, and Felix closed the door behind me, and i followed him to his room.

Once we were in his room, I was amazed on how it contrasted with mine. He had posters, and all kinds of things on his walls, and the room seemed of more darker looking.

"Alright, so how exactly are we going to do this?" I asked and Felix just chuckled and opened his walk in closet.

His closet consisted of mostly black, or dark looking clothing, which wasn't a big of a surprise. I could tell he had a huge collection of leather jackets.

"So basically, to look the way I think you want to look, which is completely the opposite of you, as what I am seeing on you are blue, pale, typical nerd clothes. Like that stripy button up shirt, or that sleeveless jumper, and those pale-ish jeans and shoes, and don't get me started on your hair style" Felix commented, looking at me, and I just rolled my eyes.

"Alright then, I need you to help me out man" I said and Felix nodded, and then signalled for me to follow him into the closet.

Vicky POV (the next day)

Today, I planned something that was risky for me. I decided to go against everything I was taught to do since I was a child.

I went shopping yesterday and I bought all kinds of black clothing that looked badass in my opinion.

I went and got changed into my black  high waisted jeans, and my black nicks.

I wore a black shirt that had 'bad bitch' written on it because I thought it would be perfect for this. I also got myself a leather jacket which I fell in love with so I wore that too.

I went to my dresser and put on a darker than usual, eyeshadow, and a dark red lipstick. I curled my hair, which would usually be in waves or just straight, and I was ready to go.

The only thing was, I needed to leave without being noticed by anyone. The only time I wanted my dad to see me was at school, because that was my big reveal, but right now I needed to hide myself.

I quickly went out of my room, taking my bag with me, and I went down stairs. To my satisfaction, no one was walking around because my dad left me a note saying he took everyone to the wedding venue but he'll see me at school, and I just smirked to myself.

However, what really caught my eye were pictures on this board in the living room. They were all the pictures of me and Thomas since we met and onwards.

I smiled slightly at them, remembering all the great memories, however, it was time for me to leave the house.

After a small walk, I finally got to the school and I walked in gaining a lot, and I mean A LOT of stairs, either impressed or shocked.

I felt like in those movies, when girls walk in and everything went to slow motion, which was honestly so freaking awesome. I smirked at everyone, and I looked for my friends, finally finding some of them there.

I found Rachel, Gemini, Sam, Jay, Hiro and Luke.

When they turned to look at my direction, they were all shocked.

"Sup guys" I said as I came up to them and chuckled at their expressions. I was totally getting the hang of it.

"Wow, Vicky what happened there? Showing your true colours?" Sam commented, who was impressed by my clothes.

"Maybe" I simply replied while Rach and Hiro were still surprised, and Gemini just cackled, knowing me way too well.

"Damn, stop looking so hot women, you have a manz and you are getting married, I do not want to be attracted to you and gain you another person on your back" Luke commented, and I laughed at him, Jay laughing along.

"Calm down there Luke" Jay replied, and smirked at Luke who just rolled his eyes.

The next thing that happened took me by surprise.

The double doors opened and I saw none other than Thomas walking in, with black jeans, black shirt that had a skull on it. A leather jacket as well as his hair was a bit more messier and bad boy looking.

At this moment, I felt less confident than I was this morning.

No One POV

When Thomas walked in, all eyes turned towards him. He put his shades on and a smirk appeared on his face, while girls looked like they were melting.

Lucy took a notice of Thomas when he walked past, and her jaw dropped automatically. At that moment she was talking to Helen who looked really confused, until she turned her head to look at Thomas and her eyes widened.

She will need to speak to him about this.

Thomas then proceeded to walk past the group, while lowering his shades and winking at Sam, while walking further while Felix looked like a proud dad behind him.

Sam and Jay looked really confused.

"Is that Thomas or am I just seeing things?" Sam asked with wide eyes while Jay facepalmed.

"Yep, unfortunately it is. I feel like he must have hit his head when we left him." Jay replied, shaking his head.

Rachel, Gemini, and Hiro did not respond at all, they didn't even know how.

Vicky decided to go after Thomas because this was going to be awkward for the both of them.

"Why is that guy trying to get me to question my sexuality. Jesus him and Vicky are something else" Luke commented, looking really surprised, and as the bell rang, they walked their different ways, while Sam, Jay and Luke had PE together.

Once Vicky caught up to Thomas, she dragged him to the side before they headed off to class.

"Thomas what on earth are you doing?!" Vicky yelled/whispered and Thomas looked at her in total shock.

"Me?! What are you doing? This is awkward as hell!" Thomas replied and I just give him the 'really now' stare.

"I wore this to show off to my dad, and what is YOUR reason?" Vicky asked, placing her hands on her hips and Thomas went bright red, which quickly answered her question.

"Thomas, you do realise she likes you for you and not for ...this?" Vicky commented , mentioning his outfit.

"I know but what if that's what she wants? Jay is literally a bad boy kind of guy and that's what she seems to be into" Thomas replied, frustrated and they started walking, while Vicky shook her head at him.

"Thomas, you are blind as anything" Vicky simply said and they walked into their Politics class.

-In PE-

The trio went and got changed into their PE clothing and they were all hanging out together, although Luke had to go get his water bottle.

Sam and Jay were left talking, and then girls kept yelling they shipped them both, but they decided to ignore it.

A lot of people in their class were convinced they were dating, or one of them had a thing for the other which they found cute.

-At break-

Vicky and Thomas were walking by the office and were stopped by Lucy who smirked at them both.

"Wow, you are getting married, and now you are wearing the same clothes? That's pathetic but everyone needs to see this" Lucy said and then took a quick picture and put it on her Snapchat story, which annoyed both Vicky and Thomas who looked really mad at her.

"Delete that bitch" Helens voice came from the background, as she came towards both Vicky and Thomas and Lucy looked at her annoyed, while rolled her eyes and she deleted it quickly, while flipping her hair and walking away.

"Thanks sis" Thomas replied while smiling slightly and Helen nodded.

"Now explain your behaviour young man" Helen said while dragging Thomas away who smiled awkwardly at Vicky and waved goodbye.

Vicky laughed and waved back, and when she turned around her heart stopped.

Her dad was standing in front of her looking really mad.

"What in the world are you doing Victoria?! What are those clothes?! They are a disgrace!" Her dad yelled, and then grabbed her arm while dragging her out the school so he made sure she wasn't wearing that.

"Dad no! I want to wear what I want!" Vicky kept yelling and trying to get away but it was too late as her dad already shoved her into his car and locked her in.

"No more misbehaving, you are getting married to Thomas and you are wearing appropriate clothing!" Her dad yelled and Vicky sighed, knowing she couldn't do anything.

Until something came to her mind, which caused her to have a slight smirk.

The wedding will be a disaster.
