Kapitel 6: Evaluating The Situation
Outside the sun had yet to hide, but once the night comes, we only had the moon and the start to as a light source.
Before going to sleep, we were having a meeting in the dining room. Hope, Rose and I were sitting on the table, Dante was near a window already sleeping, Gerhard was moving around the room as if he had an energy drink.
We explained what happened in the warehouse, before the serious talk started they told us that they were able to find an old toolbox in the house. The good thing about old tools? They don't need energy to work.
With this G can repair a couple of things that could be useful, but we don't have too many spares, and I have the feeling that most of them are wasted anyway. We must decide what things must be fixed first, but before we need to see what we are going to do.
"Why don't we wait here till everything pass?" Gerhard proposed.
"Even if I'm optimistic about the future, I don't think this is going to just pass, everything is chaotic. There are no communications, and outside are people with abilities we don't know ready to do anything".
"Spence is right, I remember when he said that if it wasn't for that ability, he would have already killed his boss, that means that his boss it's a tyrant."
Rose shivered a little remembering the cold voice the guy had at that moment.
"Yes, just like Dante and Rose there are more people with abilities and some of them are probably really dangerous, we need to find out if we have anything useful in case we have to fight them."
I said, trying to reinforce what Rose just said.
"And what about our parents?"
Asked Hope
"I don't think we should worry about them, it's useless. There is no way for us to know anything right now. They are on another continent if this affected all the world, there is no way for them to travel back home."
"Are we staying here?" Hope asked.
"Is the best option I can think of, but we can't let anybody know about it. In any case, It's just temporal, we need to prepare to move any second there will be people trying to ransack houses for supplies. We don't know what kind of people will come. Many families were on vacation, so those that went to nearby places will probably try to come back at the beginning."
"Tomorrow we should make emergency backpacks, so we can run away if something happens" Rose added.
G didn't talk too much and was moving around, he was near the broken A/C…
The A/C…
"The heat wave ended"
"You are right, the weather came back to normal. How that happened?"
We all were silent. It might be related to the comet, but there was no way to be sure.
"We have no way to know that right now."
Rose said.
We all agreed that we were staying together for now, but needed to prepare for the worst.
"The next topic… superpowers. We have 2 Espers confirmed in our group, and my mentality was enhanced after meteors. Have you guys felt anything different from yesterday?"
"Espers?"
"It's short for extrasensory perception, it's a way to call people with extrasensory abilities like rose and Dante. The powers are not the only change, it can be something simple like thinking faster or some personality changes."
Both started to think, and hope responded almost instantaneously.
"My memory is really good now."
"What do you mean with that?"
"I can remember a lot of things right now, but only the memories after the meteor shower, I can remember everything in Hope's the exact position, like a photographic memory."
"It's called eidetic memory" I corrected her. "If you look an information source can you remember all its contents?"
"I'm not sure, but I can try."
"Besides that, anything else comes to mind?
"Not that I can think of."
Since the system didn't say anything, I knew that there was something else yet to awake on her, but I still had time to discover it.
At that moment Gerhard talked.
"Well, apparently, I'm not like you guys, I didn't become any smarter. When I move around, I feel full of energy, and when I stay still a feel tired and my body and head starts to hurt".
That explains why Gerhard kept moving around the room while the rest of us were sitting.
"Well, that explains why you are acting like the first time you drank coffee by mistake when you had 9 years… worst sleepover ever".
"That was your fault, and we are trying to be serious here" He said.
Before I could answer, Rose intervened.
"He is right, we should focus."
"Sorry was just a joke. G do you need to sleep?"
"I don't know when I stop it's like there is something wrong and it starts to hurt and can't do anything. Earlier today when I tried to rest it was horrible".
"Mmm tonight you will try to sleep, we need to figure out if you need it or not, after 1 hour if it's not working you will just keep watch, without going out of course."
"Ok."
G agreed immediately.
"Now the next topic, Rose and Dante abilities. Dante do you know the range and limits to your abilities".
When I talked to Dante, he got up and stretched before coming to the table.
'I'm not sure how it works~, the distance I can use talk to someone depends~ on who I'm talking to~. With you, I can talk from about 3 houses away~, for Hope, G and Rose I need to have visual contact or stand close to them~ maybe Hope can be a little farther~.'
"That's why you came to the table?".
"Yes~, if I responded from there~ G and Rose would not have listened to me~."
"You can talk to multiple people at the same time?"
'Yes, but is difficult and more tiring~, when I talk with someone it creates a link~. That's why you can have a mental conversation with me~, but I must open that link to talk~, I'm tired I'll go rest~'.
After finishing explaining what he has learned from his ability, he went to sleep again, now that I think about it, I have been exploiting him all day long, he deserves a rest.
"Rose how are you feeling, you think you can try again?"
"I think I can, what should I see now?"
"Let's try to see the front of the neighbor's house, after that try to see inside."
"Ok" again, she has focused for a few seconds. "It's not as tiring as the first time, I had no problems seeing it."
"Can you see your own house from here?"
"Yes."
"Mmmm, can you see the guy from the warehouse."
After focusing half a minute, she seemed to be more tired this time.
"And?"
"I'm not sure where they are, but I could see a little. Jamie Walters was there yelling to the guy we saw at the warehouse, that guy was on the floor, and Jamie was kicking him."
"Jamie Walters? The insect lover nerd? Wasn't he always bullied by those guys?" G asked.
"I know it's weird, but I'm 100% sure it was Jamie, do you remember what the guy said? Maybe he is the new boss with an absurd ability". Said Rose
"It makes sense, he used to be bullied, and if he got power, maybe he tried to get revenge. For now, just try not to get in his way, things can get complicated, just go to bed tomorrow we will start repairing and gather stuff for the emergency backpacks."
After that, we went to bed (or couch in my case).
It was already night, and I was lying on the couch, thinking about how crazy everything was today.
I thought about my parents and wished that wherever they are, nothing happened to them.
I checked on G, and he was like a log.
I went back to sleep on the couch.
When I was about to fall asleep, fate had something else in mind.
