Well after FINALLY meeting Tempest, I wondered why he thought he had met me before. I knew I hadn't. We weighed options such as memory erasing and telepathy messing me up, but none of those made sense. It wasn't until Aron(who was healed by one of my new friends from Tempest's group) and John were wanting food that I understood. Its called Thought-Form Projection, and its insanely cool, but the amount of power and responsibility it brings is kinda overbearing...
Basically, I can go into someone's mind, myself included, and take a thought, a memory, anything, and make it physical. Sounds kinda odd, but let me explain by telling you what went down:
So waiting in an abandoned warehouse in the countryside of Nebraska is pretty boring. It was made more fun by the fact that I could practice my abilities, but knowing that the mundane John and Aron were present made me not be able to use them to their full potential.
After reading up on Psychokinesis, which I am convinced is my true ability, I wanted to try all of the things I could do potentially, I wanted especially to work on forcefields, as Temp told me that they are wonderful defenses, but I couldn't with my friends around.
I checked up on Aron, who was fast asleep, and saw that his arm was pretty messed up. I wanted to help him, but I wasn't sure if I could. I knew that I could heal myself, I had cut my chest with a piece of broken glass and it had healed instantaneously, but I had no idea if I could help others, and I thought it better not to try. At this point, Aron stirred, opened his eyes and uttered just one word:
"Water" he gasped, so parched. I realized that I hadn't gotten any provisions from home when I left, and there wasn't a nearby town. I considered teleporting away but couldn't clearly picture a place to get water, other than home, where I really didn't wanna go. I had no means of it, and I knew my friend was in need.
I wasn't going to go search for it, this warehouse wasn't implanted well enough into my mind for me to teleport back, and I wasn't about to leave my powerless, defenseless friends incase someone came. No, instead I had to get him water.
I tried the obvious methods. First I tried using cryokinesis to make ice, but I couldn't make physical ice, just turn down the temperature alot. I guess I don't have full CK, I can just alter temperature by TKing molecules, like Dr.Suresh explained in his book. Next, I tried to lift the earth beneath me until I would find potable water, but we weren't in Florida, where that would've been easy. We were in Nebraska, a dry state.
Thinking hard, I had no other means of making water. I looked to the half-asleep, obviously in pain Aron and understood him so well. I could see his thirst in his eyes, and I suddenly felt it myself, wanting to drink and eat.
Water. Water. Water. It was my only thought, as well as his, but I didn't understand how I knew that. In Activating Evolution I never read about telepathy being part of Psychokinesis. I knew we both wanted it, and I could almost taste it. I thought hard, and then I opened my then-shut eyes. As I looked forward, I couldn't believe it, but there was a huge puddle of water that had suddenly appeared. I didn't think immidiately, instead I used Terrakinesis to make an intrusion in the ground so the water would pool. John looked in amazement at the puddle, and Aron smiled with interest. I telekinesised some water to over where Aron was, and helped him drink it by keeping it in a floating ball before his face.
When he had had enough, I took a drink, as did John. I still had no idea how I had done this, and then I remembered something I had read in Activating Evolution. I quickly grabbed the book, which sat next to my now-glowing iPhone, which I disregarded at the moment. Flipping quickly through the pages I was able to find the Psychokinesis chapter. I skimmed until I saw it. According to the book, Psychokinesis included an ability known as Thought-Form Projection, that was used by mediums to make "ghosts" appear. It said that one could make a person, animal, object or entity with Thought-Form projection, or even energy, which would explain how I made a forcefield once or twice.
I thought about the potential and realized how insane this all was. Just a week ago, I was a normal human being, and now I was on the run from the government, and I had insane amounts of power. I needed to learn control, and my iPhone couldn't have gone off with the sound of "Crack a Bottle", my ringtone, at a better time. I looked and saw that I had received a text message, the number was blocked.
There was a short amount of words in the message, it read this:
TELEPORT. SAFETY.
Below was a picture of a building. I was able to see the area well enough to picture going there. I grabbed Aron and John, and at the moment I teleported, I heard the door fly open. The next thing I knew, we were standing [with the exception of Aron, who was in my arms due to his weakness] at the front of the building I had seen in the text. My phone vibrated, and began typing on its own.
It read "Hello Damian. Nice to meet you. Turn, please."
I looked behind myself, and say a guy standing there. Instantly I knew him to be Tempest. Him and 3 other were there. One walked up, touched Aron's arm, and silently walked away.
Instantly, Aron was healed. I put him down and he stood perfectly.
After that, Tempest and I had a long talk, and we discussed alot of stuff, powers, control, meetings. I loved the rush of talking to someone it my position. He showed me some of his powers, and I showed him mine. We were both impressed.
Temp wanted me to assume a new name, to hide under, and I decided that publicly my new name would be Justin Funke, a mix of my favorite actor, Justin Long, and my favorite author, Cornelia Funke. I needed to pick an incognito name too, and chose the name Cienfuegos. Its a city in Cuba, where my family is from, and it literally means "One-Hundred Fires". I thought it was appropriate, considering my first ability.
After a while, the question of why water hurt me when I touched it. We tested and found that this time my skin was unharmed by the water. We came to the conclusion that through my PsyK I had taken on the properties of fire when I had manifested, so I realized that could transform my body chemistry, allowing phasing and teleporting, along with healing. This was amazing. We tested a few times, and I couldn't really copy anything but fire in principle. I knew I had to train, but Tempest said that it was getting late.
I asked Temp whether or not we could rescue my mother, and why EHs were being kidnapped. He didn't have a definite answer for either, but he said that Building 26 was where she probably was, in Washington. He said that our mutual aquaintance Cleo stood a good chance of resuing her, due to her multiple abilities, but that she was currently on the fritz, and couldn't do much, so I decided that I would be going to Building 26, but I didn't tell Tempest. I didn't want him to worry.
Well, Temp, now you know. Tonight I plan on infiltrating Building 26, and don't try to stop me. Thanks for your help, if I don't come back, keep John and Aron safe.
P.S.: So it turns out that Tempest had 3 viles of this formula that gives abilities. He said he took them from a place called "Pinehearst", and that most of his friends had gotten abilities from it. He gave 2 of them to John and Aron, and they both should have abilities. Aron manifested Metal Mimicry, which I wish I had, and John still hasn't manifested an obvious ability. Hopefully he will soon. I'll keep you posted.
So at the end of the day, I've gotten some answers, my friends are powered up, and I'm going to save my mother. A good day by my standards.
and to Tempest, because of all your help, I'm going to stop making forcefields for defense, I think you should have it uniquely. TK can help me enough from attacks, besides, FFs are just part of TFP, so I really don't have them naturally. Consider it a thanks, and an apology for infiltrating Building 26.
Until next time, stay safe,
Justin Funke AKA Cienfuegos

You are going to infiltrate the "building 26"? Where Mr. Danko works? Maybe you can help me out...maybe even meet up at B26?
ReplyDeleteI'm better now, and i would love to help! those bastards are annoying the hell outta me! i'll be down there ASAP and i'll see if i can find you.
ReplyDeleteOk, everyone. First, Justin keep making forcefields, they're useful, just don't expect anything as extreme as my control over them. I've looked into your power, and past examples, and I think you should with practice be able to make defensive ones around your hands, head, whole body etc, but that's about it. Nobody with your power has been able to move them like I can.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, PLEASE leave infiltration till tomorrow night, we can plan a proper form of attack. My Team's broken into places before, we have experience. You and Cleo should come back here and we'll all go in together. I'll post a blog in a bit with our usual plan, and my basic plan of attack this time. JUST PLEASE wait until we can all go in together tomorrow. You're healing is a very consious mental ability, I doubt if at this stage you can bring yourself back from the dead.
Aright fine, I'm holding off til tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAnd Temp, I think you should look into this kid, Evan Drake. He's an interesting case
I am doing.
ReplyDeleteI think I worked out what happened with our meeting. We HAD met before, I came and found you, and took you back to base, and we had the meeting that I remember. I took you back home, and Doolittle and Playwrite stayed nearby to protect you. We agreed you should wait in the warehouse where I first found you, because it seemed safe, and I left to clean up the area where you and earthquake man had fought. Then I'm guessing your TFP manifested properly, which according to my research, will leave you feeling a little confused and your memory will set back a bit, plus giving a feeling of deja vous to you and those in the area. That's why you recognized me earlier. I make sure I don't stand out to much, but you recognised me from a memory that was blocked to you.Battle plan going up soon.
Also, don't call me Temp, it makes me sound like a substitute teacher. :)
Cleo, look for an old abandoned VHS shop down one of the alleys near King's college in the centre on cambridge. It's the front of our base. Tingle will meet you there.
ReplyDeleteOh, you're right! My memories came back once I read that, but I don't remember that bit about TFP in AE. Its good that its out of the way now.
ReplyDeleteAron told me he's taking on the name Armor as his alias, but John still hasn't manifested... I'm a bit worried...
