Summary: Tyra and Reid play with their powers

Life at Omega was nothing how she had imagined. Tyra remembered one of her earliest conversation with Troy. She hadn't like him much, too judgmental, too cautious, too worried about what sex might do. Tyra had dismissed him arguments, sure that she'd have a good time, find guys, except that none of that had happened, and now she watched as slowly people paired up.

Part of her had hoped that she and Tim could find what they once had, but he was so smitten with Alexis that she didn't even try to get in the middle of that. She ended up spending a lot more time with Reid. It was weird, because the man was a genius, and they had nothing in common, but he was kind of cute, the way Landry was, and they could talk about things that Tyra didn't even know existed. She loved it. Their initial conversations turned into something more, just a kiss, going shopping today, watching TV. That was what they had done the night before while making plans for today.

This morning, they ended up near the hill at the furthest point in the ranch. She could tell that he was upset about something, probably something to do with Derek and Emily, but with Reid one could never tell. She didn't pry, though, instead, she distracted with her powers. It was a game they did, pushing their powers, showing off, amuse. It was simple and one of the few things they could do.

"You can't stop this," Reid said with that matter of fact tone he had, although Tyra recognized the smugness as he made a tree move in a way that reminded her of the Lord of the Rings movies.

"Oh just wait." She concentrated. If he could make the tree moves, she could make the earth move. The rumble underneath her feet build up. It was only supposed to be a slight shake, but somehow it gained a momentum of its own and fear grasped her, making her impossible for her to get control of her power. The more the earth moved, the more scared she got, and the more scared she got, the more the earth moved.

"Tyra, you need to stop. Listen to me," Reid said, grasping her shoulders, but she could barely hear him with all the noise around them. Rocks began falling. She tried to stop it, she really did, and then -

Reid never saw it coming.

Hundreds of rocks of different shapes and size coming their way, as fast as bullets, just as lethal. When the earth stopped moving, there were two bodies, lying next to each other, half covered in dirt, silent as the land around them.
