CHAPTER TWELVE

The South Hall’s meeting room is silent, save for the slight sniffles that Skye is letting out. I look over at Davis, who got dragged along, seeing a confused expression on his face. I’m not sure what he expected, but this obviously isn’t it. Century clears his throat, hesitating for a moment before walking up to Skye and kneeling down in front of her, since with her sitting, she’s extremely short compared to him. “Skye, sugar, can you start from the beginning?” he asks softly.

She looks at him, a strange expression on her face, and then looks down. “You won’t get mad at me, will you?”

“I won’t get mad, I promise,” he says.

“Well… um…” she says. “When I was just a kid… I was adopted. I mean, I don’t know if it was official or not, really, I had Chooperic do a search, but he couldn’t find anything in the system, even in the classified stuff, so maybe they sold me. It makes sense, I guess.”

“They sold you,” Century repeats, his eyes narrowing.

“You said you wouldn’t get mad,” Skye tells him. “If you’re going to break your word, I’m not going to tell you!”

“I’m not mad at you, sugar, I promise,” Century says, changing his tone. He blinks as he’s pulled back by his uniform and Superior takes his place.

“You’re taking too long, Charles,” Superior says, grabbing a chair and sitting down in front of Skye. “All right, Skye, you’re going to tell ME the story, and if anyone from the Hall gets mad, they’ll go through me, got it?”

She looks up, stunned, and then smiles a little. “Okay, Pop,” she says. “So they sold me to this clean-cut, norm, right? And I thought I was going to finally have a family, and even a dog. I was all excited, because every family that saw me before that would freak out whenever I started floating, or something. It REALLY freaked one guy out when I put my hand through his chest. Norms are so uptight, you know? But I did it to this guy, and he clapped. I was so proud of myself… and that’s why I was stupid. I went with him. He took me to this big building and told me I was going to live there for a while, but it wasn’t what I expected…” She blinks as Chooperic shoves his way between her and Superior and climbs into her lap. He’s bigger than she is, sitting like that, but she just wraps her arms around him. “I FINALLY got what I wanted, now, which is awesome.”

“What did the man do to you, Skye?” Nico asks.

“He experimented on her,” Davis says, making everyone look over. “Has no one figured it out, yet? She changes the atomic speed. She could easily figure out how to turn one material into another. An entire building could be turned into Styrofoam, a safe could be turned into glass. LEAD could be turned into GOLD with her powers!”

They look at him blankly, until Nico says, “So? Pop does it all the time.
