[So, after that incident with the keys and the other kids he went with, Henry had only felt that hollow heartbeat inside of him when he and the other kids escaped. His mind had been focusing on him nearly getting Phillip killed that he didn't really take much notice over the pulse he had received. It wasn't a memory and he hadn't felt or looked any different. Maybe it was just a hiccup that he felt. Nothing really important.

Though that night he had pretty much been his usual distant self to Mr.Trill. Yeah, that didn't go over too well. Needless to say he was sent to up to his room without dinner tonight. Wow. That's a punishment that hasn't been used since forever, he thinks. He'd only be allowed supper when he apologized but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

But, the hunger was getting to him. He was lying in bed staring at the ceiling and his eyes drift over to a sheet of paper on his bed side table. Picking it up he stared at it for a long while. Maybe if he just believed it was a chocolate bar he could eat it without gagging.

Shutting his eyes he brings the paper to his mouth. Just believe it's a chocolate bar. Believe. Believe.

And when he brings it to his mouth, it's sweet and chocolatey.

Wait, what? Henry opens his eyes...and wouldn't you know it; it's a chocolate bar. Henry almost can't believe it, but that paper he was holding magically became a chocolate bar. No way. He has to try it with something else. So he picks up an eraser and then thinks hard that he's holding a hotdog.

And before his eyes it just shifts into hotdog.

Best. Power. Ever.]

[So, on his dresser mirror he writes with marker on the surface his number. For once he's actually smiling. He feels the need to show off just a bit.]

So I think I just got back the coolest thing ever. Look.

[He holds out a pencil to the mirror and he just thinks: "I believe it's a sword" and almost instantly the pencil shifts into a sword.]

I wonder what else I could make. Having a car would be kind of cool to have. I don't think anyone in my grade has one yet.

Holy fuckballs that is actually legitimately pretty super neat. And I say that as the resident network real-life fairy! I have the final say on what is cool and that pretty much qualifies. Congrats.

[ She's not kidding about the fairy thing. Her wings might be flapping a little and betraying her enthusiasm. ]

[Wow, swearing lady. He can't help but grin seeing those fairy wings. Holy mother of whatever. She is a fairy.]

Thanks. Your fairy wings are super cool too. Nice to know I didn't get something boring. Like knowing how to floss.

Anybody who needs an echo to learn how to floss has major fucking problems, bro. So you ain't half right there! Super gross.

So have you tested your limits yet? Can you make alive things? Like a bunny or something.

Unless their powers come from floss. Still be the dumbest power ever and yeah, really gross.

[Henry contemplates for a moment. Could he make things come to life? He better test that.]

Not yet. I can create a few things, but I haven't tried something alive.

[...]

I should totally create a dragon.

WHOA NO. Dragons are super bad news! And also majorly hard to hide from your parents or whatever. If you make a dragon your house will get burned down and it will fly around eating peoples' arms and burning out their eyes! Fuck dragons.

Good thing my parents would never be able to find out.

[Haha. Look, he's making a joke about his dead parents. :I.

Still her whole reaction just kind of makes him laugh.]

That's why I would make sure it was a tame dragon if I made it. Then we could just fly on it and burn down the alien bases.

[But she does seem pretty adamant on him not making a dragon. So fine.]

What should I make instead?

Huh. Disinterested, divorced or dead?

[ She's not actually expecting the latter. Or she might be a smidgen less blunt about asking. GOOD JOB TAVIA A++ ]

As for what you should make. If you're wanting to go full-on magical mystery bullshit, you could do a unicorn! Because what isn't hella cool about riding into battle on a motherfucking unicorn with your new sword? Nothing is what!

[...Did he actually just meet someone who might've figured it out from him saying that?

That's surprising. Usually people make no comment or just think his parents are dumb. Whatever. It was only matter of time before people would start asking anyways.]

Third one.

[BUT POSITIVE STUFF. RIDING ON UNICORNS AND ALL THAT MAGICAL WONDERFUL HAPPINESS!]

Okay, unicorn. I can't do that inside either so know anywhere secret that I can? Like A numbers club base?

Edited 2014-01-17 17:59 (UTC)

I-- what?

[ Oh shit

Oh shit ]

Seriously? I, uh. Wow. Okay. My bad! My parents are like. The other two options! So I figured. You too and shit. Uh.

[ Wow this is awkward oh god oh man oh fuck oh god oh geez ]

But uh. Right. Unicorns. We don't like. Have a base as such? Just some safehouses an-- dude I am seriously hells of sorry wow.

[ Face. In. Hands. ]

[All he does is give a shrug to her responses. He's been dealing with this kind of stuff for three years. It's nothing new. But, dealing with people's reactions was what bugged him.

He didn't need an apology for them saying it. What could they offer to help him feel better about dead parents? Not much. He just sighs in return to her apologies and only sounds irritable when he asks:]

Can we just not talk about it?

[Look Tavia he's giving you a free pass out of the awkward conversation. Take it.

He's now just going to try and move this away from the dead parents bit to the safehouses. Trying to pretend it never came up in the first place.]

Just safe houses? We're supposed to be fighting back against the cops and aliens. We need a base. You know, to plan missions and stuff.

Talk about what?

[ FINGERGUNS! Hahaha there's no awkwardness here and there never was what IS awkwardness anyway WE JUST DON'T KNOW ]

I think the rationale against a base is like. When we have super huge gatherings and stuff, sometimes monsters show up? And if we have a base that means we have a huge central thing for the cops to find. And that's. Kind of majorly unpleasant when that happens. Like being arrested is super not fun, bro. Wow.

[Good, she's learning. She even gets a small smirk out of him with the finger guns. Yeah, he might do that just back at her. Okay, he does. She seems cool.]

Well, why not just us magic to keep it all hidden from the monsters? People have got it I'm sure someone could do that. That way the cops can't catch us and we can plan super secret missions and junk.

Well. My buddy Danny can do that, I guess? But I'm pretty sure he has to be like. Touching things to make them intangible. And I don't know if he can do whole buildings...

[ But gosh that's a thought worth pursuing. FILING THAT AWAY FOR LATER. ]

So for now the network has to be like our base and stuff. And the safehouses for teeny little meetings, I guess? Bluh.

I might be able to do something. Maybe. I still gotta test out this "truest believer" stuff still.

[Better keep him posted on that.]

Seems kind of lame just having the safehouses. We're like secret agents now. We should have a base of operations at some point.

If we had a base it probably would make us feel more like a group. Instead of like. A fuckton of people who just got jammed into the same weird-ass situation.

I mean, we don't even have an official superhero team name yet. And that's super messed up.

[Actually to him that sounds like a bad idea. Why would he want to feel like part of a group? Than again...super spy stuff and awesome powers are a nice compensation if he has to talk to people.]

We should come up with one than. Make it official and all. Still, kind of surprised you guys haven't even decided on an Operation name yet.

Operation name?

[ ... ]

Like "Operation: Wise Snake" or something? Since that's what we're supposed to be like. Stopping the bad guys getting, I guess? Or that's the current theory.

[He blanks out for a moment. That hollow feeling surging through him again. But, he shakes that off quickly.]

Yeah, something like that. But, we have to stop the bad guys from getting a snake?

....

It should Operation protect White Snake instead.

You don't know about Wise Snake? Jesus, people who update the FAQ need to stop forgetting everything. God.

Okay so. The earthquake a while back? Caused by somebody poking this big pink rock underground. Which might have something to do with some old deity called Wise Snake! The guy who built the snake statues said so. The cops and Thuder Corp are both after something called, uh. Target One? And we're like eighty-eight percent sure that's the rock and the rock is Wise Snake. And if just poking it makes an earthquake happen then the bad guys getting it will be super catastrophic! Right?

I read some stuff on the FAQ but nothing like that.

And yeah that doesn't sound good. I don't even want to imagine what they'd do with something like that.

I wonder what this White Snake can do though if it's so important. Maybe it's like the only way to stop the aliens.
