Dawn, Ray, Charlie, and Simeon were still there, staring at him. He was still in the museum in the future.

Huh. Odd. He tried again.

This time with his eyes open.

Nothing happened. He focused. He concentrated. He willed himself all the way into the past.

But nothing. Nothing worked. He never left.

“Luke?” asked Ray, not sure what was going on.

“I can’t— I can’t— It’s not working!” he exclaimed.

“Calm down, take it easy,” said Charlie gently. “Are you doing exactly what you did before?”

“Yes!” he shouted.

“Could it be because of the other you?” Dawn asked. “Maybe the power jumped from you to him, or something?” She shrugged.

That would suck. Luke didn’t like the sound of that.

At all.

“Hmm,” said Ray. He looked around their immediate area. He spotted a nearby artifact. Some small stone carving of a pregnant woman with big breasts. Probably a fertility goddess or something. Whatever. He waved his hand at it, and the stone artifact lifted into the air.

“Be careful with that!” exclaimed Simeon. “That’s priceless!”

“Sorry,” said Ray. “Just testing to see if I still had my power.”

“The powers don’t go away,” said Charlie. “Not as far as I know. Could it maybe be a limited range thing? Maybe you can only go so far back in time?”

“I’ll try that,” said Luke, desperate to try anything, afraid he might’ve lost his power before he even got a chance to enjoy it. He wanted to go back in time one minute. Just one single minute. He could still do that, right?

Everything around him shifted into a red blur and suddenly he was back exactly one minute ago. He stood beside his one-minute-younger self.

“What the—?” remarked his younger self.

“Just testing! Bye!” Luke quickly said. Everything shifted to a blue blur and Luke returned to the present moment. He saw his friends – and no second self – there waiting for him.

“Dude, it looked like you flickered!” said Ray.

“Yeah, like for a split second, you weren’t there,” explained Dawn.

“It worked,” said Luke. “I went back one minute, and immediately returned to the second I left.”

“There is a way,” said Simeon, “to test all their powers.”

“I know,” said Charlie. “I know…”

“What?” asked Luke.

“It’s one of the reasons I brought you here,” Charlie said. “They have this simulation training room type thing. Kind of like the holodeck on Star Trek. When James and I got our powers, we practiced in there.”

“It’s designed to test your limits,” said Simeon, “in a safe and controlled environment. It’s designed to help you discover your power’s potential, its limits, and help you master control.”

“Really?” asked Luke. “Like the Danger Room?”

“Danger Room?” asked Simeon, completely lost.

“Comic book thing,” explained Ray. “It’s not a bad idea. Ever since I discovered I had a power, I’ve been itching to really play with it and push it to the limit. Like, I wonder, can I lift a car? A truck? Mount Rushmore?”

Dawn laughed. “Actually, I did that a little while I was waiting on you. I tried transforming into a variety of animals.”

“But that still doesn’t solve the problem of Mastermind, or the second Luke,” said Uncle Charlie.
