If it's any consolation, my uncle died a week ago of cancer and my hamster unexpectedly died in his sleep last night.

But you're welcome :)

While Everett's speech was over with, there were a few other's that took their turn. Gerard just silently sat on his seat, his mind blank. The mind jolting shriek that pierced the otherwise silent and gloomy, Gerard turned his head towards what he thought the noise was but everyone was already scrambling out. He snapped his fingers and the mad stomp of everyone rushing outside stopped,

He quickly made his way towards the noise, squeezing over or even jumping over the frozen crowd. He reached the statue with the body but hid a ways back so that people wouldn't see him appear out of nowhere. He snapped his fingers once again and time continued. There it was, a dead body, right on the anniversary too. Rachel Lewis, the studious valedictorian for the year. Killed, Dead, Snuffed. "No- No fucking way." Gerard muttered out loud "Not again..." he trailed off

Gerard was in a state of utter disbelief, his face contorted in horror. Gerard also now saw Ashton and Alice that had gotten there before him, Alice had fallen downwards in shock. He turned away from the statue in digust, and looked towards Ashton run away with anger exuding from his body. Soon after his disappearance was a misplaced crackle, "Does he..." Gerard asked himself in doubt, then reaching a hand out towards the fallen Alice. "Need a hand?"

Gerard would probably adhere to his annual tradition of watching the stars at christmas night, but early in the morning probably with his family or friends dinner.

Today was the day, the memorial. The annual thing that has been made almost customary to join, even Gerard's parents who were usually permissive about almost anything made it mandatory to go to it. As his alarm's ring reverberated throughout the room, he opened his eyes and just stared up the ceiling, lost in his thoughts. . While everyone was sentimental and solemn, Gerard got that, he just never really knew these people who perished. He felt emphatic, sure, but the whole annual ordeal striked him as odd.

With a resounding and a few colorful words from his lovely mother, he got up and took a quick and snappy shower. While washing his hair he was checking the news, he tuned into the network that the whole town watched and as expected it is about the memorial. Was Gerard the only one who thought it was odd, maybe he was the weird one. With a shrug, he put on the suit his mother had prepared. The tie was old but his suit hid it well enough.

As he walked out of the house, he told his parents that he would walk to the memorial instead of going with them- gives him time to think about the memorial and his powers. He had decided to stop by the town famous Simone's coffee. It was one of the few coffee shops in Verona so it was obviously popular by demand and less supply. As he entered, the familiar friendliness and warmth, instead replaced by a silent and solemn aura to it. He got up to the counter and ordered the usual, the warm cocoa topped with mini-marshmallows.

He noticed two people who he knew, Tess and Austin. He would have gone to say hey but it didn't take a genius to notice that they had a good atmosphere going so he decided against it. Instead finishing up his Cocoa in his table while thinking about things. The repercussions from gaining his powers had just hit him, it just felt so surreal, like a video game, but the dangers of them getting captured was real, this was all real. Gerard tried to take another sip, but noticed his cup was empty, and with another shrug, he got up and when he passed by Tessa and Austin's table he shot Austin a sly wink that said Good goin' buddy, Gerard had heard Austin's awkward confession earlier and he almost choked on his drink because of it. He walked towards the door, and went outside, the cold, silent air hitting his face.

Gerard knew he was going to be late, but atleast he would attend. As soon as he entered the school, he quickly waddled towards the memorial site. It was almost full, only a few seats scattered here in there. He saw few of the people who were present in the Astronomy club- of course. He was going to say hey, but Jay was already surrounded so he decided against it. Gerard's head wasn't in the game today. He keeps remembering something, a repressed memory of some sort, but he thought nothing of it. He also saw Jade and flashed her a quick wave and walked towards a chair in the corner. He sat down and waited for the event to begin and end. He silently listened to Everett's speech, he also found that odd AND surprisingly intricate and well made.

Gerard clapped while sitting down, maybe others weren't.
Who knows?

"If you haven't noticed, I waved to everyone Gerard. Perhaps you would've seen it if you weren't busy mourning the loss of your bread." Alice replied after his comment, of course Gerard was amused and smirked. Not many notices the subtle sarcasm and teasing when he does so.
"Right, it's delicious and luscious curves will be missed." he replied, though he really did want to finish that bread.

The meeting itself was very... interesting. Many piped up of their powers. Course he was skeptic, but with what was happening to him, it was all possible. All their powers were pretty strong. "Looks like this boring town of Verona is finally getting a bit more interesting." he muttered to himself, hands in his pocket. The rest of the meeting was normal- well normal in a sense that this is how they would act against each other. Naturally the quartet was anything but getting along.

"Tess is fine." Tessa pipped up, annoyance slightly lacing her words,
"And I'm here aren't I, that's not something a recluse would do."
"A joke, a joke." he replied, holding out his hands infront of him, in mock defense.

The most striking thing was Jade, he expected her to show up since Alicia did mention so. What he didn't expect was her complete and total breakdown, Gerard was slightly taken aback. The way she generalized how everyone hated her, even though, personally, Gerard was so-and-so with her. He honestly thought she was promiscuous but not much else, since it's her life, he didn't care much what she did, as Gerard was all for free choice and all that fancy jazz.
"You know, if it wasn't for your own preconceived notion of your martyr's complex then you would get along fine, well atleast with me." he muttered out loud, matching the serious tone that permeated the room. She had already turned around so she probably didn't hear, Gerard just shrugged, while he tried and helped people, he didn't want to help people who couldn't help themselves.
"King probably doesn't enjoy me all that much, Gerard we don't talk much. But we just need to all get along." Alicia said in an attempt to comfort her, Gerard perked up and his usual smirk slid across his face,
"You're gonna make me cry Alicia." he half-heartedly said, covering his mouth to yawn.

The meeting was unofficially adjourned, well, atleast people began to leave. "Lunch lasted a long time, didn't it? he asked himself in confusion. He then just shrugged it off. Before he got to leave, the quartet got into another feud, Jay and King face to face in anger, punches where then thrown in anger. Gerard promptly got up and tried to stop their petty little grievanced fight, but they both of them teleported, leaving Gerard, Malcolm and Scout in a stupor.
"So he really could teleport, interesting."

They just stood there, then soon later Malcolm got a text and he soon sprinted out with Scout somewhere,
"Guess they don't need my invaluable assistance." he said outloud to nobody in particular. "Alright then."
He slung his rucksack on his bag, and cracked his stationary bones. Gerard had decided to spend the rest of his time, alone (Poor noodle) and with a shrug he walked lazily to the Martial Arts club. He wasn't in it, by any means, since he was already part of the Astronomy club, but he was a regular at the place.

At his own pace, he reached at the door and slid it open. Oddly enough, they had a sliding door to fit the theme of Japanese roots of what they were learning.
"Hey 'senpai's', can I spar with someone?" he called out inside, a silent shriek(s?) resounded somewhere inside the room.
"Is that Gerard?" "No no no." "Remember the last time?" were all the rather anxious reply that came from the room. "G- Gerard no, no one here at the moment can match you."
"But I just wanna stretch myself, i was sitting still for a while earlier." he replied with half-lidded eyes.
"Who is this guy?" said one of the newer, more cockier member "He looks so weak, betcha I can drop him in three seconds flat."
"Don't underes-" another voice chimed in before being cut off, "No, I'll spar with this weakling."

A smile skidded across Gerard's face, "Go easy on me, 'sen- pai'" he replied, purposely enunciating the word senpai. Even though Gerard knew that this wasn't Japan, he may as well match the theme of the place and called them senpai. He stepped in the room, and didn't even bother changing to his sparring garb. The different sea of anxious and 'regret' faces were all eyeing him. The new member had not known of Gerard and Gerard was fine with that. He walked to the center of the mat, and the newest member had this air of unbroken confidence and arrogance that surrounded him.

"Come on." he said, grinning the whole while, also taunting his opponent with hand gestures to move towards him.

---

The newest member lay on the floor, being unconscious and having opened, whitened eyes. Gerard relaxed his stance and he breathe in a chunk of fresh air. He had received a few attacks from this new member, but none too damaging.
"There we go again." "R.I.P." "What an idiot." the voices said after watching the almost one sided duel.
Gerard got next to the downed student, waving his hand infront of his face, the other members slowly gathering behind him looking on in wonder and curiosity.
Gerard clapped his hands "Comeon, you got knocked out that bad?" he said,
The beaten guy, got up and asked "W-What was that?" he asked, his voice shaking, "I couldn't block your attacks or could I go attack myself?!"
Gerard shrugged, he had been practicing martial arts for a while now, "Practice more, I mean, you got potential I guess, for a doof like yourself." he said, fixing his disorganized clothes. The limited maneuverability proved to be a disadvantge, but Gerard generally liked a challenge.

"Surprised you didn't hear of Gerard." "Your own fault." "Why would you underestimate him?" "Heard only a few people could match him like some bloke named Everett or that psycho Noah." the voices all in awe and fear said while Gerard began skulking out of the room, disinterested with these rumors. Lunch was about to be over so he decided to sate his hunger. He went over to the cafeteria and bought another Cheese bun with his money and began eating slowly and savoring the flavor whilst walking to his next class.

Yo Everett, what's been going on? Weird stuff in the school, it's finally getting interesting. Lemme confirm though, where and when is this 'party' of yours?

Ps: Itching for a good spar, none of satisfied thus yet.

-- Gerard's text to Everett.

"I wonder what's next?" he asked his lonesome, slowly stuffing his face with his new cheese bun whilst on the lookout for the Cheese bun killer.

He was silently, and chipperly eating his delicious cheese bread and slowly savoring his coffee. The texture was nice and otherworldly, and the coffee can be his second favorite drink; after the almighty cocoa, of course. The first ringer up was Ashton, mister pretty boy and all that jazz. With his 'what's up', Jay just simply nodded in his direction before getting back to what he was doing, since everyone was so boring at the moment. The most infamous quartet being at each others throat, yet not really. His bored look grew deeper and with a shrug he continued his food. Though, he did smirk a little when he noticed King's contempt at his earlier 'respects' to the 'King.'

Next up was the French invading- Moon, she promptly whispered something to Jay. Gerard rolled his eyes,
"Do away with your crushes!" he screamed randomly inbetween mouthfuls "It's so typicaaaal~" he continued jokingly.

Following her was Olivia Johnson, who sat beside him, oddly enough.
"Are you extorting me for money, why are you sitting there?" he told her, again, jokingly, "Hey Olivia."
He looked back down at his sandwich- which wasn't in his hands now. A sudden burst of wind appeared from nowhere- well, from Olivia. His cheese bun and coffee now a victim of war. Gerard's face grimaced slightly, anger lightly permeating his face. He internally decided wether to go back in time somehow and save his coffee and bun. Against his good will, he decided not too.

He turned to Olivia, and with a slight face of anger, masked with a false smile
"Don't worry about it..." he grumbled out loud.
"Place a lid on your powers, that was such a good sandwich." he whispered under his breath, turning forwards once again.

Another one came through, literally, Austin Williams. The oddball of the group, so energetic and sunny, he blinds Gerard from time to time. He burst into a room, "I am sure, alot of weird stuff have happened Austin." he said with no tone in his voice, "Take a damned number, weird stuff has been happening to everyone here."

The room was becoming more filled with people, and Gerard lightly sighed. Tessa Gray, a rather recluse person since that incident also come in, Gerard was slightly surprised she turned up in all honesty. "Yo Tess- Mind if I call you that?" he called out from his seat, after her passing comment, he then said, "Always a recluse are we?"

Alice Malone then stepped into the ring, not even a hello to anyone, just straight to flirting with tall, handsome Asian, Malcolm. "What kind of parents raised you up?" he said another smirk smearing on his face, of course this was in jest.

And finally the last one the one, well atleast before Jay started explaining his theorem. This was Alicia Smith. She basically came in, and Gerard just waved at her when their eyes met, since they already met earlier.

---

Jay's flustered nature after interacting with Moon just made Gerard roll his eyes, "Get to the point lover boy." he said,

When Jay had asked who had been experiencing weird things happening since the morning, it was King who raised his hands first. He talked about how he could feel the emotion of others, empathy- was it?
Gerard couldn't help but stifle his laughter, This guy receiving empathy is extremely well deserved he thought to himself, lightly hitting his desk in amusement and hilarity.

Gerard was next to raise his hands up half-assedly, "Same for me." he said with a tinge of excitement at something interesting happening in Verona, "I can bend time and all that fancy jazz, I guess like in that show 'Heroes' that everyone watched." he continued, resting his raised hands on his table now,
"Course, Alicia there can vouch for me. She's already witnessed my powers."

The pressure to his head, was an unwelcomed feeling. It was like needles and a heavy stone combined both hitting his brain in synchronization. Damn this sucks.
"What the hell is going on?" Alicia asked in stupor. She curiously got infront of the Nurse, Ms. Konrad and the patient and waved her hands infront of them.
"You're like a living Hiro Nakamura!" she continued, in surprise."That hero show, right." Gerard relied slowly and steadily.

After the eight seconds had passed, she asked him to 'restart' time. "It's more like stopping then continuing it, but yeah sure." he replied, snapping his fingers in accordance. She muttered something about ditching class and seeing him at the astronomy club to which Gerard waved his hand off on, and then she was gone. His nose started bleeding rather heavily. Briskly walking towards Ms. Konrad, he tapped her on the back. She looked back with a 'what' face, which then transformed into a shrief and scared face.

"Don't ever do that Gerard!" Ms Konrad said, giving him some tissues and ice, "What made you bleed this hard? The girl too heavy for you?" she continued, a smirk forming on her face.
"Very funny Ms Konrad." he said muffled by the tissues and then with a nonchalant shrug, he continued "I don't know why I started bleeding this hard."

The nurse had forced Gerard to stay in the office for a while, much to his chagrin. Apparently his nose was bleeding a bit too hard, and if it didn't stop soon he might have to go to a hospital. "Miss that's boring, don't make me do that." he said with a grimace, "I am fine, I swear!"

The bleeding could have gone away, if Gerard did not move around too much because of his boredom and restlessness. The nosebleeding subsided a little bit, and with a quick "Ms. Konrad look it stopped!" he resounded, waking the unconscious girl up who now was staring at him with some fleeting look of endearment or resentment?
Line between love and hatred stretches thin.

With that, it was about time for lunch, meaning that it was time to go to the Astronomy club. Some of the antagonistic 'friends' might be there. His nose still lightly bleeding, "Won't this damned thing go away." he whispered silently to himself. All of a sudden, he needed to sneeze. He quickly ran up against the trashcan and lightly sneezed. Blood somewhat spewing on the tissue. Someone must be talking ill of him somewhere, "Probably Jade or King." he said outloud, digging up another tissue from his pocket.

Finally arriving at the Astronomy club, cheese bread and coffee in hand, the animosity in the club surprised him, well, not really. Jay, Scout, Malcolm and King we're already there, the most infamous quartet who cannot get along. "Boo why are you all silent" he asked the group outloud, he stopped infront of King, put his coffee on a table and did a mock curtsy, bread hanging in his mouth as he stretched his hands outwards. "Sir King." he said, his voice lowered in pitch in hopes he gets the sarcasm.

After grabbing his coffee, he then sat a few chairs next to Jay, waved at him and Scout. "What's up, why is this room so boringly silent?"
"Oh, and Scout, was I there for Home Economics?" he asked inquisitively.
