Evangeline: Aw, you look so cute today! *Hugs him tight*
Marcus: *Giggles* ^^
Katie: So what did you want, besides nearly crushing me?
Evangeline: Nothing. Just to say hi!
Katie: Wow, how exciting. -.-'
Evangeline: I know, right? But for real, I was walking down the street and people in weird costumes were leaping off roofs and crap like that. Do you think they might have powers too?
Katie: *Thinks for a bit* You may be right. Some random crazy chick just knocked me over, and she was wearing some stupid costume too!
Evangeline: Yeah, these people go over board with their costumes.
Katie: Yeah, tights and masks. How original! XD
Evangeline: Speaking of disguises, don't you think we should have some type of disguise too?
Katie: Yeah but I don't want to be known as some super hero, because if I am, then It'll be like having some type of job. And I'm only fifteen, I can't really keep up.
Evangeline: I get what ya mean. I'm the same way.
Katie: *Sighs* This is crap. Every since that damn car accident, I've been this way.
Evangeline: I just wonder how we got our powers from the accident though.
Katie: It's a miracle to still be alive though.
Marcus: What are you talking about?
Katie: Uh... Video games.
Evangeline: XD
Marcus: Oh. *Eating sucker*
Katie: Well I gotta get my brother home and get to Scott's house.
Evangeline: *Lifts an eyebrow* Alright see ya later. *Pats Katie on the back really hard*
