Everett roamed around town for a while before ending up at the gym the cold night air hitting his face, maybe some training would get his mind right. What harm could it do? He parked his bike close to the front door and there, it hit him. The smell of blood, sweat and tears all in one lovely order. 

The gym wasn't anything special, but there was a lot of knowledge within. As he walked further there was Rowdy [Gerard], knocking someone else to the ground. Rowdy was the only other person his age that loved the gym as much as he did. They fought often, trading victories as often as punches. 

Everett made his way to the ring and started clapping sarcastically. [color=a0410d]"You ever pick on someone your own size? Or you just like to bully kids?"[/color] Everett said with a cocky smirk. 
[color=#81F7F3]"Well look who decided to come out of the woodwork."[/color] he replied, looking back at him whilst wiping sweat off his brow. [color=#81F7F3]"Course, only a few people are actually able to match me, everyone's so boring and honestly, weak."[/color]

Gerard had climb down the mat, the fight wasn't much but it was after consecutive fights that he'd been a bit tuckered out. [color=#81F7F3]"How's it hanging mountain-man Everett?"[/color] he asked, holding out a fistbump. [color=#81F7F3]"Been a weird day for me, though."[/color]

Everett returned the fistbump. [color=a0410d]"Busy day as always. Killing animals, saving lives and dancing in the moonlight. How about you? Oh, did you go to starlight meeting? Heard something strange was going on."[/color] Everett said eyeing the downed body behind Rowdy. 

[color=#81F7F3]"Yep, course I did, I am one of its members after all."[/color] he replied, patting out sweat from his head. [color=#81F7F3]"Aside from the obvious sexual tension and hatred of each other from the people who visited, it was honestly interesting."[/color] he continued, a smile forming on its face. [color=#81F7F3]"Seems like alot of people got some gift or something, oh and speaking of which"[/color] he said lowering his voice in worry that other patrons would hear him, [color=#81F7F3]"I got these time powers, pretty interesting honestly. I'd let you see, but I think I shouldn't since I am tired as all hell. What about you Everett, got 'blessed' with a gift?"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"You wouldn't believe me if I told you Rowdy. I know I ain't the only one either, you, Tessa, my gir... Nina.  Shit has been insane and everyone is way too calm about. Damn world's falling apart and everyone is calm as a bear in winter."[/color] Everett said as he opened the ropes for Rowdy to get out. 

[color=#81F7F3]"Kinda agree there, this could cause some catastrophic level shit."[/color] Gerard replied, stepping out of the ring through the opened ropes. [color=#81F7F3]"What if some psycho got some power, we'd be screwed."[/color] he continued, motioning his head towards the punching bags for Everett to walk with him, [color=#81F7F3]"Course, I guess we would stop em, get some power ranger swagger or something. Oh, speaking of psychos, I've been hearing of this 'Noah' guy, apparently could match you or me in a spar, people have been talking bout this dude, I don't know about the legitimacy though."[/color]

[color=a0410d]"You know that little faggot dude? I ain't worried about him. Get a good look at the fairy, boy looks like fart could cripple him...  Who else has these... Blessins? Anyone we know or can get along with? Or do I got more reasons to stay on my lands?" [/color]Everett said half hoping he did have another reason to stay home, keeping in step with Rowdy as they walked towards the punching bags. 

[color=#81F7F3]"I don't really know this Noah dude, I've seen him around sure, has this air of nobility around him, but unlike King, I feel its more darker?"[/color] he said outloud, taking a stance while facing the punching bag, [color=#81F7F3]"Well, majority of the people who went to the meeting did have powers, only a few didn't."[/color] he continued, looking intently at the weakest spot of the punching bag, where it would cause the most damage [color=#81F7F3]"Lemme see if I can recall, that lesbian Katalina who controlled the tap water and got it all over me and the others, the infamous Jay who has warping or teleporting powers, that ditzy dude Austin who can run really fast, could probably outpace the animals out in the forest, Olivia who threw my cheese bun with her wind powers."[/color] Gerard stopped for a second to catch his breath, he sent out a swift and hard punch towards the punching bag and it flew back slightly. He relaxed his stance afterwards. [color=#81F7F3]"Hm, ah our majesty King, he got empathy reading or something, not too sure but well, I did have a good laugh about his ironical power. Mrs Recluse herself, Tessa got invisibility, fitting, isn't it? Well, I think that's all I can recall now."[/color] he said, [color=#81F7F3]"Mind punching the bag, I wanna see if you still have that power of yours."[/color]

Everett formed a fist and through a right cross from his chin, crashing down on the bag. As quickly and powerful as the cross was thrown, it was retracted quicker. The bag was sent swinging back it was a good solid hit. It wasn't until he drew his hand back that he saw the damage of a hole on the bag. His glowing fist was the culprit.  [color=a0410d]"I think I'm pretty much as good as always. Did anyone laugh when King said he was empathetic? Guys an ass to just about everyone cept that one dude who always is following him around." [/color]

[color=#81F7F3]"Impressive as always, it seems like your gift gives you extra of your already impressive raw power."[/color] he said, whistling a bit as he watched the grain seep out of the hole, [color=#81F7F3]"But yeah, we're lucky there's not that much patrons today, you should try not using you weres. Government or some crap may come after us and do some 'experiments.'[/color] He leaned against a stationary bag, [color=#81F7F3]"Yes, I did, though his friend, who looks at him with yearning eyes, Malcolm, gave me a death stare. I am surprised I was one of the few that did, its just so damned funny."[/color] he stared at the other training patrons, [color=#81F7F3]"So how'd you find out these powers of yours, are they light based or something?"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"I guess they are. I was talking to Mom and Dad and pointed my fingers at a flock of birds and they went boom. I don't rightly know what else I can do with it. What about you? What can you do?"[/color] Everett asked curiously, staring at Gerard.

[color=#81F7F3]"Interesting, seems like this boring town of Verone is gonna get more livelier, ain't it?"[/color] he replied [color=#81F7F3]"Hm, I was walking out in the woods and out of nowhere, everything just stopped in place. The leaves, animals and even sound stopped for a brief moment. Well, it would be kind of boring if I didn't show you."[/color] he continued, looking around and noticing there were barely any people, [color=#81F7F3]"Go ahead send out a punch."[/color] In confusion, Everett sent out a normal-ish punch. Gerard snapped his fingers and time stopped for him, everything did. Everett's mid air punch was halted, Gerard got behind him and snapped his fingers again, resuming time. Everett punched thin air, [color=#81F7F3]"Seems like I barely know what it can do, but hey, this is one of its uses. Gives me a mighty fine headache after even a few seconds of use."[/color] he said, rubbing his head in pain.

His eyes widened in shock and awe as his fist cut through air instead of Rowdy. It might have been the most awesome thing he had seen. In what seemed a blink of an eye. Rowdy had not just stepped aside,  but completely moved, nothing moves that quick. Ever. There wasn't a list or a part two of this conversation. What Rowdy just did was nothing short of epic. 

[color=a0410d]"Son, that's... I ain't got the words. It was a amazing."[/color] Everett raised his hand looking for a high five. 

Gerard returned his highfive, slightly straining himself. [color=#81F7F3]"I honestly have no idea what it looked like when I disappeared from using my powers, must've looked pretty interesting."[/color] he replied, slightly grinning, [color=#81F7F3]"As much as I would like to continue, I have this headache from using my power and damn, look at the time, parents come back at this time."[/color] he said, glancing at the clock, [color=#81F7F3]"Oh, before I leave, you heading to the memorial right?'[/color]

[color=a0410d]"You say that like I gotta choice in the matter. What about you Rowdy? You coming to the party?"[/color] Everett said knowing he was gonna be there. 

[color=#81F7F3]"Course', gotta pay my respects and all that."[/color] Gerard replied, picking up the satchel with his clothes, [color=#81F7F3]"Parents also want me to go, they personally knew some of the people that died. But man, if everyone is gonna bethere, the tension is going to be interesting as always."[/color] he glanced at the clock again, [color=#81F7F3]"Alright man, time to go."[/color] he said to Everett, waving once with his left hand, [color=#81F7F3]"I'll see ya later, and you gotta show me that power of yours more indepth soon."[/color] he walked towards the door and his feet landed on the cold dirt. Gerard's figure soon became a silhoutte and then disappeared into the darkness.

Everett did a few things in the gym. A quick workout and and a few odds and ends and he too was out the door. He rode back home, his mind still a mess. When he got home he rode straight to the barn to do more work.
