7. They arrive at the Blossoming Program once again, to meet up with Jinn and his workers so that he can help figure out these strange powers that were brought on with the telekinesis.
Pulling up and coming out the limo one by one, in order of age as always, they see Jinn standing by the front doors, with the same bodyguards from before.
He puts his charming smile on and with opening arms, he walks over and hugs James, and again kisses Melissa's hand.
Pulling away slowly, she smiles at him saying, "It sure is nice, but you know you don't always have to kiss my hand."
"Oh, is that bothering you?" He says with an exaggerated look on his face, Jinn is known for his very vivid facial expressions on his handsome face.
"It's fine, don't worry about it." James says bluntly, stopping Melissa from the next sentence she was about to speak.
Then James says again, "we need to talk about all this once again, because these powers are really affecting our home life, they are always fighting each other even more now, I mean, I get their differences, but...Melissa really wants them to get along, so, we need to know what's happening."
Jinn shakes his head saying, "of course...Let us walk inside now."
James turns to the kids as they stand quietly behind Melissa, with Arrow once again giving James an unfriendly look as they walk inside, James doesn't notice this time, it seems...
As they head their way to the lab, Jinn starts saying, "you know, I have been seriously checking on Xavier this weekend, he hates when anyone bothers him, but...Let me tell you," He begins to laugh in his sentence, "I believe it's just these kids, they are special."
As Jinn opens the door, James says back to him, "well, we are here to experience this special ability of theirs, why not go ahead and get started."
"Yes, sure, but be careful, we just got all of our utensils fixed, from when they broke them that is." He says scratching his head, then he continues, "but, over here to the right is where we have our system located, over there is where we discover the telekinesis or “‘Arkemia’."
He walks over to the area as they follow him, with Jinn continuing saying, "this is where we experiment on the Arkemia kids, but today, it will be the area we will use on them as well, so you see everyone can do their...Thing in here without super destruction."
"We weren't that bad." Astrid replies in a sarcastic tone. But then James turns to her saying, "you guys are not allowed to speak unless I say so, you hear me?"
Astrid half smiles at him before safely crossing her arms again.
Jinn walks over to James saying, "I suggest we go in order again, but I need you to come with me to my desk, I'm gonna need you to fill out some things before we get started."
"Sure, lead the way."
James follows Jinn to his office, as Melissa stays back with the kids, saying to them, "remember, don't let your powers get out of hand, we need you guys to have good control over your powers, think of it like your karate practice, know how to control what you are doing with your bodies, so when they come back, you guys can truly learn the stability you need. Let's not hate on each other like you guys keep doing, especially you Celsius to Melodie and Cora, and let's focus on becoming strong with these powers, okay."
She smiles at them with most of them saying, "okay," back to her.
"Good."
Meanwhile in Jinn's big blue office with like three fish tanks and papers scattered all over his desk. James finishes signing papers before saying to him, "alright, so whenever they need help, I can bring them to you, and their powers will be put back in its place, right?"
"Yes sir," he says back to him, putting his glasses on and saying again, "so, I need to justify each of them, like, I know their names of course, but, what about their personalities of each of them, as well as their outer appearance so that I can write this down."
James gets up saying, "may I have a drink, or coffee?" "Yes, sure, I was just about to make myself some.”
Jinn makes their coffee with James saying, "Arrow is the one that catches everyone's eye, not his deep red eyes, but his strict, strong, and independent personality, it will draw people to him and push people away from him."
"Okay, and Astrid?" James sighs saying, "they are the same, but they aren't, she's bossy, gothic of course as every teen is these years, or emo actually, emo, and with that she is very tomboyish, hates wearing any other color than black and gray, or sometimes dark blue, and despises having long hair, so she keeps it short, and with this she is also indecisive with everything."
"Okay, Victor." "He's...There is not much to him, he's laid back and confident, and enjoys being with Valencia, a lot. He loves wearing shades though, like even at night and indoors it's...strange but...I don't question it."
"Okay, Valencia?" "She's hyper most of the time, but very talented and flexible, we have her in gymnastics, karate like the others, and ballet, but it's all people we hire to do that for them, like our sign language teacher, um, anyways...Valencia is wild, very beautiful and she knows it, along with being nice and sweet and obsessed with Victor."
"Alright, what about Maximus?" "He is very smart, Arrow is smarter though, but he is super shy and antisocial, I mean almost every time you see him he's running and hiding in his room, studying about himself and things, he's really nice though when he does talk."
"Okay, and Melodie?" James answers him, "she is also wild, dense sometimes, but she is a lively kid when we talk to her, even though it can get very annoying at times, but she thinks they bully her for being chubby or whatever."
"And Celsius?" "Oh, yeah, he's...Strange, very strange, and mean, but playful, and freaky and weird...Yeah all those things. He has schizophrenia, but I haven’t bee checking on him with it as I should have."
"Oh, I can tell, and finally Cora." "She's of course quiet, loves drawing and writing, and expressing her feelings to us a lot. You see Celsius and sometimes Melodie bullies her a lot and...There is just so much to us, but yeah, she's not really involved with them like she wants to be."
"Okay, got that down, now what's the simplest way to describe them, like their look or so, I need to make sure I don’t mix them up with anyone elses kid at all." He says this with the most serious tone of voice, as if it’s life and death.
"Arrow is the independent one, Astrid is the emo one, Victor is the laid back one, Valencia is the one with the very long hair, Maximus is the antisocial one, Melodie is the ditsy one, Celsius is the one with the white hair, and Cora is the deaf one, super quiet."
"A way to put it I guess...?" Jinn looks to James as he gets up, taking his glasses off and walking over to James to shake his hand saying, "alright, we will get you guys covered here, we will help them learn their powers and all, and we ourselves are going to learn about the superpowers and hopefully make them great at what they have."
"No."
James stares directly into Jinn saying, "get them used to it, then we will make our potion to hide it, so I need you to hide all these extra powers."
Knowing why he said that, Jinn replies to him saying, "practice makes perfect," with a sly smile.
"It does..." James says back to him, looking suddenly as if he knows what all this is truly about.
Then while thinking on, Jinn interrupts him, looking at James with a smirk on his face, "you're doing good with this, I'm surprised."
James looks right up to Jinn, then standing up, he says to Jinn, "you know why this is happening, don't act too clueless."
Jinn just keeps smiling at him after he says so.
Jinn sits back in his chair, casually saying, “and I’m enjoying every last bit of this…”
As they eventually come back, Melissa walks up to them saying, "what's the news?"
"It's official," James replies, "they will be training their powers here for however long it will take for them to master their powers and keep it hidden, so we are going to be with Jinn for quite a while.”
"I'm sure they will do great," Melissa turns to the kids saying, "you guys ready?"
As Jinn studies each of them, the progress it takes is about an hour.
Then it happens every day…
Every month…
Taking six months in total, the kids became almost like lab rats with the way they were forcibly trained to hide every bit of their Arkemia “malfunctions" that ended up taking a toll out of all of them.
Mentally and physically with every test they had to take and with everything that was required of them by Jinn Marshon himself.
Arrow knew to control his sense, Astrid knew to control her shape shifting, Victor knew tp control her agility, Valencia knew to control her flexibility, Maximus knew to control his teleporting, Melodie knew to control her mind control, Celsius knew to control his psychic sense, and Cora is still unknown to them, but her telekinesis seems to be stronger than the rest of her siblings.
Them becoming stronger, training, playing with their powers, and even going to places like normal people do, all seem to be well, as long as they behave in public.
But who knows how all this will go, for these kids surely aren't superheroes, don't take up on that...
