I told him everything- about how Karon had planned it the whole time, how I almost lost it, how he could’ve ended up dead. Theo didn’t say a word until I was done.

“Do you use it a lot? Can you just make things do stuff for you?â€?

“If I need to; it gives me a huge headache though. Do you use your ‘superman’ powers?â€?

“It’s not the same- if I don’t use it, I get the headaches. So I’m sort of forced into doing it half the time and if I don’t… it kind of takes control.â€?

I wasn’t going to ask him about it because I knew what he meant. Kind of like how when I got angry, I couldn’t suppress my ability.

More connections…

On this ship, I wasn’t the only one who was there to get something “fixed.â€? Theo, obviously, had something wrong with him. I assumed others did too.

Everyone had these abilities, like superheroes. It didn’t really make sense that there were so many of us- I’d never even met anyone at home that could tell me about others, let alone have abilities.

Yet, we were all from Planet 0209.
