6. Getting a ride from their chauffeur Dack, they all get into the car one by one, oldest to youngest, taking a short silent drive to this Blossoming Program building.
In this city of Leroy, the outskirts of it are where the stations lie, the LRX and behind the LRX, the large Blossoming Program building, which is connected by only one room to the LRX itself. Around it is the school system, and across from it is their secluded neighborhood they live in.
Pulling up to the blue building, they all get out and walk into the building behind James and Melissa. As soon as they walk to the front door of the building, two men and a woman seem to be standing in front of the door, wearing lab coats, and green glasses that directly hide their eyes. They appear expressionless and emotionless by the way they are showing themselves.
But, James walks up to them smugly, showing the man a blue card, and without saying a word, the man lets them in.
Walking into what looks similar to a hospital foyer, they walk up to the receptionist with James saying quietly to the woman, "I'm here to enroll my children back into the program,” then he steps back, saying normally, “may I speak to Jinn Marshon? He said he'll be here today. It's an emergency."
"Oh no?" The woman exclaims, "did the telekinesis break out?" "No, they are fine with that so far, it's just...Sometimes people need check ups."
"Alright, I'll let him know you're here." As the woman calls him over, James turns back to the kids to see Melissa comforting them and Arrow with his arms crossed looking bothered as ever. Noticing him staring, James catches his eyes, feeling uneasy, then James says to Melissa, "that's enough, it's time to uplift them a little bit differently, I really believe your powers are going to be awesome once you guys get used to it." He smiles at them, with Arrow saying, "I'm sure it will."
Then, Jinn walks up to them, holding his hands up in excitement saying, "finally! You guys have arrived, welcome!" He shakes their hands, then gives James a hug and kisses Melissa's hand saying, "the both of you are looking well for this to be an emergency."
"You seem to be very well too, but it is true what I said." Looking at him as if Jinn should understand, Jinn nods his head at him while giving off a quick smirk.
After speaking to each other quietly about something, Jinn then looks back over to the rest of the family as they continue their conversation just before.
"Well yes, I am, even though I still have a very sick wife, she's a strong woman regardless and it makes me happy to see her still thriving. But...It's been rough on me."
"Maylin's still sick?" Melissa questions seriously.
"Yes, she was diagnosed with breast cancer just last year." They follow him as they walk into an elevator, going down with him still talking, saying, "she is doing surprisingly well with it, and that keeps me motivated to work for her."
Melissa replies with, "how is Xavier doing with this?"
"Pretty well, he takes very good care of her, he's a great son, I didn't even need more children after him, not just because of the breast cancer, but...Because he is all we need."
James replies with, "I'm sure he is, he was nice the last time I saw him." While they walk out of the elevator into a long white hallway, that eventually becomes green the further they go.
Jinn rushes before them to the big green doors saying, "In here is where all the testing takes place, this was the room where the telekinesis power outbreak came from, where the suspicious orb was, it's been reestablished so...It has no trace of affecting people the wrong way, got it?"
James walks up to him saying, "Jinn, this is not an actual check up for their telekinesis power, there is nothing breaking about that power inside of them, it's something else I need to talk about, so, before you go in there, let me just say that these kids...Have some sort of malfunction, more than the telekinesis. They each have different powers, and I had Melissa write them down so they can show you, and so that you and your crew can explain what this is all about, because I don't know how to raise kids with superpowers like the ones they have..."
James says this sternly to him, and after Melissa hands him the paper saying, "these are what they have explained to us, of what they are experiencing."
Jinn looks at the paper, his face almost full of shock saying, "this is unreal, superpowers? Like super strength or speed or invisibility? That stuff just happens in TV shows and movies, like...How? Xavier didn't tell me he had powers or anything?"
"We believe that maybe it had something to do with their parents when they used to work here, like the spectrum they used to work at." Melissa exclaims.
"Well Jinn, are you going to let us in? Since you're in disbelief, we'll have them show you with their own bodies."
Jinn nods while looking back and forth at the kids, saying, "yes, come in the now training room." In a rush to get them in, Jinn runs over to the workers there, and immediately tells them to do something.
He rushes back over to them, as they scope through the huge room, filled with inventions, people working, and no windows whatsoever, and the room itself is green as well, and there is Jinn wearing his dark green business suit, waiting to talk to James who is speaking with the kids saying, "now, whatever you guys do, don't get us in trouble, it's time to learn how to control these powers of yours, these deadly demons that are living inside each of you can kill everyone in here, so please, try your best, we are going to have you guys practice in here for however long you'll need, okay, there is always tomorrow, but be careful, alright?"
"I think they got it James." Melissa replies back. Causing James to get up and turn to Jinn with four other people, setting up an obstacle, like a table stand for them to use.
Jinn stands there with his infamous smirk gone from his face as he says, "well, what do you think? We are going to have them practice here, on this thing behind me." He points to it, then continues saying, "so, shall we start, I'm very curious to see these powers of yours, how do you want to start?"
"Arrow, you go first." James says to him, as Arrow slowly walks up to the pedestal.
Jinn runs over to James, Melissa, and the kids, letting Arrow have his space, while all the workers sit and watch.
"Go Arrow!" Melodie cheers him on, but of course Arrow puts his arm out strictly, for her to shut up. He closes his eyes, then Jinn starts to say to James quietly, "so, his power is super sense?" Arrow starts saying, "and super intelligence..." With a smirk coming off of his face.
He begins to walk around the pedestal slowly, almost like he was lost in his thoughts, he begins to walk around and say calmly, "this place was made very much to control that of the kids with this power of telekinesis."
Arrow touches the table, rubbing it with his hand, the table begins to float. Then Arrow starts saying, "I can smell that you guys have a lot of rubber in this building, toxic materials such as straight acid, aluminum, lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, etc. And when you get home Jinn, you will plan out ranting about our powers in a strange way. I can sense that you are afraid, and that all of you are afraid I might do something that can kill you, and on that note, you guys are right."
Arrow picks up the table with telekinesis and throws it behind him, with Astrid disappearing and Victor running up to catch it with the speed of light, only for a tall woman to grab it first, as the lady was there first.
She starts laughing menacingly, saying, "should have aimed for Jinn, Arrow!" Then the lady throws it back towards Jinn and everyone with him, causing them to duck, but Valencia manages to move Jinn out of the way by becoming completely flat on the floor as they are ducking, causing the table to go behind them instead, hitting the door.
The lady begins to look shocked at what she did, but noticing that Maximus is gone, they begin to look around for him, with Melissa saying, "where did Maximus go?"
They continue to look around, as Valencia keeps herself flat on the floor, and Victor finds him saying, "oh, he's inside this cabinet, he teleported here."
"Yes I did, because...I can't be around people for...Too long or I'll...Start to freak out."
"Alright then." Victor slams the cabinet door in his face, with Maximus saying in the cabinet, "thank you."
As Arrow stands with the woman, Jinn begins to say to them, "I thought I said one by one, our door is already damaged just from the first day." He complains.
"I'm just surprised they are getting along, usually they will be arguing already, especially Celsius and literally everyone, they all hate on him, they trash Max, and Celsius just bullies Cora, but at least Victor and Valencia always get along, they literally can't separate from each other, it's too weird."
"Oh, Melodie, what's your power?" Jinn questions.
Melodie smiles at him, then looks up at him saying, "you think I'm very cute."
He slowly repeats, "I think you're very cute…" Without having control in his own words.
"You think I'm worth it and talented."
"I think you're worth it and talented."
"And that I'm the best here."
"And that you're the best here."
"Say I thank you."
"I thank you."
"Now, shut up."
Then Jinn stops talking, unable to move his lips to speak, he starts to shake out of the mind control, realizing that he can't talk, James yells at her while she's laughing saying, "get him out of the mind control now!"
"Okay okay, you can speak again."
Jinn starts saying after calming himself down from what just happened, "so…Yours is mind control, alright...Where is the white haired one?"
"You mean Celsius?" Melissa exclaims. "Yes, what's his power?"
Melissa points to him, in the corner talking to what looks like himself.
Jinn walks over to him, hearing him say, "so...You were killed, and now you want me to help you get revenge? Like how's that even possible? I'm only seven?"
"Celsius?" James starts saying while Jinn walks up saying, "so, you're Celsius, the seventh one, and your power is..."
"I guess seeing dead people, I think I'm also psychic and schizophrenic."
"Alright, and there is apparently a dead person in here, right?"
"Actually, more like dead people, sir."
"Okay, what about the last one...The one right there." He points to Cora, standing by Melissa's leg, looking shy and a bit confused to what's happening.
"Aw, I think we're scaring the girl," Celsius says, walking up to her playfully and forcefully hugging her saying, "she's probably just mad that she can't figure out her power yet," he turns to her saying, "don't worry Cora, you will soon."
"So...Does she have powers?" Jinn questions.
"I'm sure she does, but we just don't know yet, I'm sure we'll find out soon."
"And we will get her to control it as well, but in a different way."
"Oh, is she?" Jinn says.
"Yes, she's deaf." James answers back.
"Oh, I figured," Jinn walks up after to realize, "hey, where's the second one, the emo girl with the black clothes, your...Second one, right?"
"Yes, why? Is she not seen?"
They all walk up to line up again, but that woman from before continues to laugh saying, "I'm right here, I was the whole time, just falling asleep and laughing at everyone, I can shape shift you see."
"Oh, I see..." Jinn says casually, quite disturbed by all of this.
They all line up together, with Arrow in front saying, "you see, we still don't have great control on our powers, yet, but I know I will, don't know about the others, but I do have belief that Astrid will get better, that transformation was quite impressive."
"Thanks Arrow."
"Guys, where's Max?" Valencia questions.
Victor runs up to get him, snatching him by his ears out of the cabinet, "ow..."
"Sorry," Victor says sarcastically to him.
"Alright, so what's next?" James says.
"Take them home," Jinn says boldly, "take them home, and we will make better arrangements, since I know what I'm getting myself into now, so...I'll call you later and we can talk about these powers then, because we have a lot of work to do..."
"Oh yes we do..." James replies back.
Jinn claps his hands together, saying, "well, nice to meet them nonetheless, just let me specify their names better this time."
James does so, then Jinn professionally says, "okay, well, let's shake on it." Jinn shakes their hands, some unwillingly, like Arrow and Celsius, and Melodie not knowing how to.
"How is school going for you guys?" He questions as they are about to leave.
Melissa replies with, "they are home schooled, with a personal teacher, Ms. Vandova, so, they rarely ever go out, but now, we have a reason not to."
"Well you guys have a great day, alright."
"You too, Jinn."
They leave this day, getting ready for their next adventures that will truly start their estranged lives.
