“I’m Owen, and you are?â€? He asked.

Melody eyed him suspiciously at the question. “I’m Melodyâ€? she replied. She looked over at the two thugs, moving in slow motion. They looked around, and disappeared. She walked over to where they had been standing, to make sure that they were really gone.

“I think it’s safe to back thereâ€? She called over to Owen who was still standing where they had stopped.

“Right,â€? Owen said, disappearing and reappearing in the real world. Melody did the same and walked over to Owen, now at regular speed.

“So… you ok?â€? she asked politely. He looked fine.

“Yeah they never caught me,â€? he replied, nonetheless a little shook up. He took a deep breath and looked at her. “So, you have the gift of stealth too,â€? he said tentatively.

“Gift of stealth…?â€? Melody asked

“The ability to be able to go into that mirror realm… run really fast. ...That.”

“Oh, then yeah, I guess,â€? she replied. She’d known she had these powers all her life, but she didn’t know they had names.
