It was 6 PM and we went to the gym inside of the school. The gym was located inside of the basement and Charlie had the keys, which he had unlocked. The gym had grey walls and a black carpet. It was filled with TV’s, ellipticals, treadmills, fitness balls, punching bags and more. It was also pretty big and the gym was locked up for today, so no one was inside of the gym. The three of us walked in wearing sporty clothing. I wore some sweatpants and a grey t-shirt. Charlie kept his outfit the same and Leah wore a grey t-shirt with black leggings. We walked to the area with the punching bags and gloves. Charlie tossed Leah and I the gloves and Charlie grabbed some and put them on.
“Okay.” says Charlie. “You ready?”
“Yeah.” says Leah. Leah and I put on the red punching gloves. Charlie began to close in on me with the gloves and I put my hands up as well. The two of us marched forward to each other where Charlie hit me in the chest and I missed all of my punches. He also kicked me on the ground and I landed with my back into the punching bag.
“OW…..” I said.
“You are too slow Martin,” says Charlie. He turns to Leah and Leah releases a couple of punches where he dodges all of them and he grabs her wrists and tossed her on the ground.

“You are too predictable,” says Charlie. “Come on you two. Use your power.”
Leah charged up light in her hands and got back up. She tossed her gloves on the ground and fought with Charlie. She started to land a few blows and Charlie tried to grab her wrist again and Leah predicted this. She made a super bright light so Charlie couldn’t see. Charlie, blinded by the lights, swiped his leg under hers, tripping her.
“You may have gotten me there, but what about below?” says Charlie. I focus and then Nova’s voice appears in my head.
“What do you want?”
“I need your power.”
“You seemed sceptical about having me in your head,” says Nova.
“I did. But I need your power to train my physical strength.”
Nova sighed.
“Physical strength doesn’t mean relying on my power.” says Nova. “Whatever.”
The markings on my face began to appear and my skin turned gold on the left side. My eyes turned a gold-white and my hair gold too.
“This is you going all out?” asks Charlie. I ran toward him and released kicks and punches at high speeds and he got hit a couple of times as he was propelled backwards into the wall. He gets up and then I shoot light from my left hand and he dodges it. He runs towards me and kicks me in the chest as I collapse to the ground.
“You two actually aren't too bad.” says Charlie.
"Really?" I ask.
"No. You suck." He responds. “Time for me to whip you into shape.”
Nova’s powers deteriorate off my face as the lines vanish, the golden skin and hair turn back to normal and my eye turns back to brown as well. He puts out his hand and smiles and I grab onto his hand and I stand up. We trained for a few hours.
