12. The kids all sit together in their living room, with their maid and butler, waiting as James and Melissa come in and take a seat before them.

When they do, James begins to say, "well...Now that you guys know about your powers, we have to make sure that you guys know how to control your powers while we are not around."

They all look at them in confusion and shock.

Melissa starts saying to them, "well we are going to California this weekend and we need you guys to be on your best behavior now, since your abilities are unleashed, we need to make sure that they are under control so that you guys can get around easier.”

Then James adds in, "we are taking you guys to The Blossoming Program so that you guys can train your abilities to its finest again."

Arrow starts saying, "when do we have to do this?"

Melissa replies with, "today." 

"Today?" 

"Yes, Celsius, today, because all this week, you will be training everyday after school again. Jinn will be instructing you guys, along with his son Xavier, since Jinn is still very busy."

Melodie instantly looks scared, saying ,”but you know how much that took a toll on us, we were barely even sleeping because of all the so called training you guys had us do.” 

James shakes his head, “you are all older now, everything will be okay, plus you’re doing easier training, nothing like how it was before, now come on, you all need to be there in an hour.”

All the Barderson children look in distress once realizing that they will have to be involved in the “training method” again, but hoping that James means his word about it being easier this time, they decide to go with the flow on it.

Regardless of how each of them really feel about it, with Valencia getting up first and saying, “well, I need to look presentable.” With this, they all get themselves ready.

Just an hour later, they make it to the Blossoming Program, where they meet up with Jinn and Xavier. Jinn walks up to them and says, "haven't seen you all in a while, how's everyone doing?"

"Meh," Celsius replies.

"Okay." Valencia says this while putting up the okay sign.

"Great, I guess." Victor says. 

"Very well, thank you." Maximus says happily, when Max makes his way to speak, he does it very well, well, to people he knows.

"I'm doing good now." Melodie says as she waves at Xavier, but he turns away from her. 

"We are all okay, alright, now let's get this over with." Arrow says boldly. 

"Okay, follow me." Jinn says, walking to the familiar building as they follow him.

They walk in with Jinn into a big open gray room, with glass windows everywhere, ones similar to mirrors, but not, different from when they were younger. 

"This room looks amazing now, compared to last time." Celsius says as he runs in. 

"Be careful! Some of the empty spaces aren't actually empty!" Xavier says to them in an no emotion tone, but enough to be heard.

"What?" Celsius says back, then he notices, feeling the mirror that is standing almost invisibly right before him. “Now that’s cool,” he adds.

Everyone walks in, some amazed, some, Arrow, not amazed, with him saying, "when does our training start? We don't have all day you know." He says sternly. 

"Don't worry, when Xavier did it, it took like four hours." 

"Four hours?" Astrid says surprised, "what exactly are we doing now?"

Jinn walks in all smug like saying, "Xavier is going to show you...He has known all his telekinesis since he was seven, he will show you what to do." Xavier walks up to them, looking at everyone, as James and Melissa, along with Jinn leave them.

Xavier shifts his eyes to the door as soon as it closes, then once it's closed, Xavier smirks at them, holding a stick saying, "your goal is to throw the stick, but without physically using your hands, so, I'm going to put it down, and each one of you by age, come and and throw it against the glass behind me as hard as you can without using your....Other abilities, got that through?"

Arrow walks up to him, and through his power, he manages to snatch it from his hand and throw it towards the mirror, cracking it. Xavier looks at it and him with a bit of shock and begins to say, "You seem to know a lot about your power, don't you." 

"You can say that." Arrow says confidently. 

Astrid walks up to them and says, "surely it shouldn't be too hard." Astrid throws the stick across the room, but hers doesn't break the mirror like Arrow's did. 

They all clap for her as she playfully bows down with Victor saying, "this seems kind of fun." 

He walks up and grabs the stick, throwing it as well, with Valencia catching the stick saying, "you threw it towards the perfect person." 

They smile at each other, then Maximus walks up and throws the stick to the other side as well, even though he doesn't hit the mirror like everyone else's did, so, they all laugh at him. 

"What a throw!" Celsius says sarcastically.

"Oh, be quiet." Maximus says as he walks out of the way from Melodie.

Then she walks up, being a show off, smiling with her eyes towards Xavier, starts to pick up the stick, and lets it float.

"Wow, I'm the only one who can keep it floating?" As she says this, Celsius pushes it down, causing the stick to hit her face, even some of her hair beads fall off. 

"You okay?" Max replies to her.

"No, I'm totally not okay, Max." Melodie angrily says.

"My bad." Celsius replies sarcastically as he keeps on throwing and playing around with the stick.

Xavier walks up to Melodie, face to face with her as he says to her, "you weren't supposed to keep it floating." She keeps staring at his gray eyes, as he lifts her up, "and you are a bit dramatic too, but, are you okay? You're making your eyes bigger as if you can't see." 

"I'm fine, now I'm just fine, just making sure that's all, and forget the beads, I can always get more." 

"Okay..." Xavier helps her up.

Victor walks over to her saying, "get up, Melodie." 

"I'm getting up," She whispers to Victor saying, "I'm trying to flirt here."

Victor whispers back, "you're not doing a great job at it." Melodie rolls her eyes at Victor.

Xavier walks over to Celsius and says to him, "give the stick to Cora now." 

"Why?" 

"Because you all are supposed to train your powers." 

"She would have tapped my shoulder if she wanted it." Xavier snatches the stick from him and throws it towards Cora, who catches it perfectly.

"Wow." Astrid adds in.

About two hours later, Xavier walks over to Arrow who seemingly is sitting by himself in the corner, with Arrow saying as Xavier walks over, "I'm fine if you're about to ask." 

"Actually I'm wondering about something..." 

"About what, kid?" 

"How are you already so good with your powers, everything that you just did was truly amazing, you managed to make yourself almost invisible, it's even hard for me to do that." 

"I would say because I'm older than you, but age and talent depends on the person, one who truly knows what to do with themselves, I just know what to do because it isn't that hard to do, if I have it, then I'm going to learn what to do with it myself, not by your sickening father." 

"My sickening father? Hm, I’m glad you noticed."

Arrow gets up and says to him, "you have a lot on your hands, take care of them instead of me right now, okay," Arrow looks at the kid and softens up saying, "but thanks." 

"No problem."

As soon as Xavier and Arrow walk out, Jinn comes in saying, "your parents are back, kids, and Xavier, your butler says that your mother wants you...So, it's time to go home, okay."

"Finally!" Celsius shouts. 

They walk out, but Melodie lingers with Xavier saying, "your mother is still sick?" 

"Yes, but she is handling it well enough." 

"I hope she can get better." She smiles at him, but he just looks at her, nods his head and walks back with Jinn.

She makes it with the others in the car, with Arrow saying, "what were you doing?" 

"Saying bye to Xavier, is that a problem?" 

"No." He replies back calmly as they drive back home.

This whole week they kept training again, even to the new year, and now in the year of 2011 for them, their training got bigger and better, even their relationship with Xavier. 

If only other things didn't start to get in the way of the progress they managed to make by keeping their other powers hidden.
