CHAPTER 4

Back to Delta the next morning in his bedroom, he had just woken up to a room full of banging and clanging. When he finally adjusted to being awake he was shocked to see a room full of chaos as his crazy dreams had come into the real world, as he saw next to his bed a pile of toasters that reached the top of his roof. Delta had to think of a way to get rid of the mass of toasters next to his bed and he immediately realised that he could call Baden to come over and help him out so he did just that. Ten minutes had passed and Baden had said with a big grin on his face “Wow it’s been ages since you called me over to hang out what should we do first” Baden started to list a various amount of technology based things to do as Delta and him walked down the hallway to Delta’s room and when they got there Delta said “Well you see I had this dream last night” before he could even continue speaking Baden looked at Delta with a disappointed face and said “You called me over here for the first time in years for toasters what do you expect me to do with them?”, “Eat them of course” said Delta, “Eat them?” asked Baden in a confused voice, “Yes, eat them isn’t that how you got the first toaster into you?” said Delta, “I DID NOT EAT MY TOASTER I MERGED WITH IT THERE IS PROBABLY A DIFFERENCE” shouted Baden, “Well do that then” Delta said whilst directing Baden towards the pile of toasters, Baden walked straight into the pile of toasters and as he walked into them it was as if the fell straight into his body.

After that Baden was standing where the pile of toasters had once been and said with disappointment “Well this was an experience I’m going to leave now because I just realised I can’t even do anything from my list as I would just absorb it, see you later at school”, “Well I guess I will be seeing you then, thanks for the help” said Delta as Baden was leaving. Delta then thought to himself how does Baden think we even had enough time to do any of the things on his list, he shrugged off the thought and was ready to put his and his friends powers to good use and he was ready to put this plan into action when he got to school so he could explain it clearly to all of his friends.

So Delta arrived at school to meet all of his friends there they seemed to have had a lot more improvement with their abilities in the past days since they had gotten them, Caitlin who was absent for a couple days due to sickness asked what she missed Ryan was about to give a detailed analysis on what everyone had been doing in the past couple of days but before he could get a word out Zac came crashing down from the sky with Andrew hovering down to a perfect landing “Wow you really suck at this don’t you” said Andrew, “I just think I’m going at this all wrong I think that I am going to need your help Ryan” said Zac, Caitlin was speechless and in shock then she snapped out of it for a second and shouted “WHAT DID I MISS OUT ON WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!”, Delta had remembered that she was late to school on that day as well but thought that it could be a coincidence so he had to ask to make sure and said “Hey a couple day’s ago did you see an orb come down from the sky and touch it?”, “Yeah of course didn’t that happen to all of us?” said Caitlin, it took her a while to process and then she had pieced it together, “OH, SO THAT’S IT YOU ALL GOT POWERS FROM THAT” said Caitlin in a loud voice.

Caitlin then went on to complain about how she didn’t have powers and whilst she kept on complaining about this Ryan had the look of an idea as he went on to say “What if your powers have already awoken I mean the powers seem like something that would be unique to each person and what they are specifically known for”, “I guess you may be right but what if I don’t get powers?” Caitlin said as becoming more upset, “I highly doubt that would happen because if you are telling the truth and you did come across that voice like we did then you are probably just needing to trigger it somehow” said Zac who was still laying down on the ground after his crash, Caitlin cheered up and went off by herself Baden confused about what she was doing said “Do any of you know what she’s going over there for when it would be so much easier to just Google it”, “Are you stupid or something do you really think that Google would be able to help out with this something that hasn’t happened before?” said Andrew, “Why wouldn’t it work the internet solves everything doesn’t it” said Baden, “No it doesn’t” said Andrew, “Well give me one reason why then” said Baden, “Because I already tried it” said Andrew without fully opening his mouth to say it, “Could you speak up a bit I couldn’t fully hear you over your pride being crushed” Baden said with a prideful attitude.

Delta was now ready to tell everyone his plan, he said in a loud voice “CAN I HAVE EVERYONES ATTENTION”, everyone that was there except Baden who was putting his fingers in the toaster part of himself looked at Delta, “BADEN COULD YOU PLEASE STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF IN PUBLIC IT IS REALLY STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT” shouted Delta, “What yeah I’m listening” said Baden as he made the spot that was a toaster into a phone without the screen on, “Yeah I was just playing this awesome new app I got it’s super fun” said Baden trying to convince people of that being the case so he wasn’t as embarrassed anymore, “But Baden you said that you didn’t know how to charge your phone since it merged with you so you needed my help to charge it” said Ryan, Baden turned around and said “Well you’ve asked for it now” as he let out a barrage of toast that was sent flying at Ryan, “Oh so that’s why you needed the bread” Delta said, “I really thought you were getting me to imagine it for eating purposes” said Delta, “Yeah you do realise just how much bread I still have at home I can’t keep it there forever it’s going to go off so I loaded myself with bread” said Baden.

Delta was ready to talk again and said “Hey everyone I know this seems a bit cheesy but I think we should use our powers for good”, Delta walked around and handed out clothing to each of his friends they were all identical looking, “I spent a while thinking on the perfect colours to put on them” said Delta, everyone began to unravel the clothing given to them it revealed a uniform of sorts. There was a pause whilst everyone was trying to figure out what was going on and then Ryan blinked following with saying “This is meant to be a uniform? Delta when have you ever heard of a super hero wearing the same outfit at the rest of their team?”, everyone startled by Ryan’s last sentence started to talk amongst each other about super heroes. Delta went up to Ryan and said to him quietly “Thanks for that I’m horrible at talking I think you already understand the rest don’t you?”, Ryan nodded and spoke up to the group “Alright everyone you already know that Delta plans to create a super hero team by now but in order to do so we are going to need mastery over our powers I will explain what to do next after I have helped Caitlin with her power”, everyone put on their outfits and started using their powers straight away to try and master them better.

Zac was walking behind Andrew who was just about to take flight when it started to rain, Andrew took off and went to find a sheltered area leaving Zac behind but Zac wasn’t mad at all he saw this as an opportunity to try and find a solution to the rain problem he had. Zac had grown gills and didn’t have long until he would suffocate so he risked it by imagining himself in the rain and to his surprise his theory was correct and his skin had changed to that of a frog but it wasn’t just his skin the outfit that Delta had given him earlier had changed with him to suit his form. After this Zac went back to his form which he despised so much and grew gills to test another one of his theories and he was correct the suit had somehow managed to support this form by letting him breath normally when not in water. With this newly attained asset Zac went into his winged form and took off with a noticeable struggle when doing so.

Baden without a clue of what he could do had been approached from behind by Delta, “Hey Baden sorry about the whole toaster thing earlier I didn’t mean to offend you or anything but you were the only one I knew that would be able to help me out and by the way without that you wouldn’t have been able to perform a toaster barrage on Ryan which might I add turned out much better than I thought it would” said Delta, “It’s okay but now you’ve decided to create come kind of super hero team what can I do having my power to shoot toast at people, the most it would be to someone is slightly annoying” said Baden, Delta was about to speak but then instead he decided to create a grappling hook and throw it straight at Baden, Baden instinctively flinched as something was being thrown at him but when it would have hit him it just went straight into his body, “You see why I came over here now Ryan told me what I needed to give you and what to do” said Delta, “He even told you to throw it at me?” asked Baden, “Yes I asked him why had to throw it at you but all he answered with was that it would be funny” said Delta, “That twisted son of a” Baden was about to finish when he saw a remote control being thrown at him, “COME ON COULD YOU AT LEAST WARN ME NEXT TIME, BEFORE PUTTING IT IN ME!” shouted Baden, “Sorry I will just give them to you from now on, now I think it was this next” said Delta as a jet pack shoved into Baden’s being, “Hell yeah now we are getting somewhere” Baden said with joy. The two spent the rest of their available time shoving things into Baden as each one of them got him more excited than the last.

Sam walked off absorbing all kinds of surfaces as Hayden followed along trying to see what else his power could do. Sam decided to try out and see of his new outfit did anything to his powers, so he went up to Zac who was lying down in the mud after what could only be assumed as him having another failed attempt at flying and tried to copy his power by coming into contact with him but it didn’t have any immediate effects to his appearance so he tried the same with Hayden who was right behind him at that point they heard a loud voice “YES A LASER SHOVE IT RIGHT IN ME”, this startled both Sam and Hayden who both turned invisible from hear that and then Sam realised that his outfit lets him copy the powers of people so he could mimic them. He tried to imagine himself falling and he grew wings just like Zac would do except for one difference the colour of Sam’s wings were dark purple instead of light grey like Zac would have.

Hayden decided to walk off in invisible state and when he did he saw Ryan who looked as if he was searching for something, Hayden decided to follow him and see what he was going to do and if he had already found Caitlin or not. Meanwhile Connor and James were preparing for this by participating in more physical contests. The winners of each event seemed one sided depending one what body part was required for them so the decided that the only was to improve was to try and discover some new things that they could do with their powers which would assist them with being super heroes, so they split up and started their individual training. Andrew was off flying around to improve his speed in the air so that he could eventually fly faster then he could run so he would need a lot of training to do so and reach his maximum potential. Andrew would occasionally hear in the distance inappropriate comments from the direction that Baden and Delta went and occasionally it would be too much for him to handle and he would fall out of the sky in laughter.

Connor decides to use his legs overwhelming strength to his advantage so he tries stomping at full power, in his head he thought that this would be a great idea but when it came to executing his plan it didn’t turn out quite like he imagined instead Connor had his entire leg buried in the ground as he managed to go straight through just over a meter of solid reinforced concrete and when he attempted to pull it out he managed to get his other leg stuck in the ground and was in need of help but he remembered his phone was in his pocket so he was stuck in the ground until someone eventually came by and noticed him. Connor tried moving his legs around but had no luck at getting free, whilst Connor was stuck every thirty seconds or so he would hear shouts from Baden that were really inappropriate when out of context like “YES NOW I NEED SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THAT” and “I WANT TO HELP MY HOLES GET SOME PLUGS IN ME” Connor was simply stunned and was wondering if he even knew he was doing it.

James decided to try and improve his mobility so he was jumping around with boosts from his arms to massively increase the speed he was going at. James tried at this getting more used to it with each try and was just starting his next jump when he heard “YES THIS ONE EVEN VIBRATES” coming from the distance this distracted him and he ended up wedged in a wall as he wasn’t paying enough attention and wasn’t able to stop his jump. James has his arms stuck by his side and his phone was on the table not so far away from him but far enough away that he wouldn’t be able to reach it in the state he was in right now. James tried to get his arms out but as he did that he could hear the whole building ready to fall so he decided to wait and assumed that someone would eventually come by and help him, but the thing he was really worried about was the reaction when someone got to look at the building and the trouble he would get in.

Ryan walked off into the direction that Caitlin went expecting it to take a while to help her find out what power she had. Ryan looked for just under five minutes and found her under a tree he went up to her and said “You had any successful attempts at finding out your power?”, “No I’m sure it has to do with people though and through deduction I’ve figured that it would be healing but I can’t seem to heal anything no matter how hard I try to imagine it happening” said Caitlin, “Wait slow down for a second how did you know about having to imagine it happening in the first place” asked Ryan, “Well I kind of just pieced it together and I decided to go with that as the way to do it and thought that you would come and help me with the rest” said Caitlin, “Really? I didn’t say I would come and help you what’s going on here?” said Ryan, “Nothing is don’t worry about it but am I on the right track with imagining it happen or not” asked Caitlin, “No I don’t think you are on the right track at all” said Ryan ominously, Caitlin was intimidated at this point and backed away only to be up against a tree. Ryan took a long blink, longer than normal and this added on to the creepiness because when he opened his eyes he grabbed a sword from his back and swung straight into Caitlin.
