"Nah, it wasn't J. It was someone else." He grinned as one of the kittens purred and meowed in his arms. They were getting restless, but luckily, it wasn't much farther to his house. "Hold on there, little kitties. You'll be home soon." He kissed one of them on the top of its head and suddenly remembered Josie was still there. "Yeah, don't tell anyone I did that." He still sort of had a reputation to uphold anyway.
He was surprised when Josie pretty much just told him about her brothers' powers. And he sort of liked her all the more for it. She wasn't like Lexie or Annie who always wanted to hide things from everyone. She was open, and that was awesome. "Whoa! He remembers everything? And fire? So fucking cool, dude! I'm actually kinda jealous now. I'd so burn down like entire forests or something if I had that power." That wasn't true.
"Yeah, I know," he said with a shrug. "They're like really super secretive about it or whatever. And I don't even know Annie's. She won't tell us. I don't know what's so great about it. Lexie's is useful though."
