The Next Generation

[Lawshenk]

Jenn blushed, " how's Issac?"

[Lady Jenn]

"Well, he's not worse," Marla replied. "I'm...well, dealing with two lots of Hulk blood it transpires takes longer than I thought, at this rate I can eat while it's getting sorted."

[Lawshenk]

She looked puzzled at her " two lots of hulk blood? How come I'm not a hul k?" She was suddenly a little scared

[Lady Jenn]

"I'm probably just getting muddled," Marla said, letting out an embarrassed laugh. "I don't normally talk while using my powers, I normally need to concentrate."

[Lawshenk]

" ok " she smiled and started to cook*

[Lady Jenn]

"Do you need a hand?" Lucas asked. "I'm not the best cook ever but I suspect I'll be more use to you than I am to Marla right now."

[Lawshenk]

" I should be ok living alone for this long I've learnt to cook so why don't you both tell me your manifest stories, that is if you are not a real pixie of course "

[Lady Jenn]

"No, I earnt that name because of my powers," Marla replied. "Or, at least, because people are convinced it's magic. Admittedly I can't explain how they work, nevermind where they originated from, mum and dad had no powers as far as I know."

[Lawshenk]

" well what's the stories?"

[Lady Jenn]

"What kind of stories are you looking for?" Lucas asked. "I have all sorts of stories, but I guarantee some of them would give you bad dreams at night."

[Lawshenk]

" like I said how your powers manifested "

[Lady Jenn]

"Mine I discovered when the popular girls decided to pick a fight with me," Marla replied. "The girl who got thrown around the room and covered in bruises amazingly didn't report me, I think getting beaten up by the shortest girl in school would've been too embarrassing to her street cred."

[Lawshenk]

She smiled and giggled " that's a good story " she turned to Lucas ," you?"

[Lady Jenn]

"I was a trainee firefighter back in the day," he replied. "I was an idiot and ran back into a burning building because there was a kid trapped in his room, but...the fire didn't effect me, in fact I could control it. Now THAT was a tough one to explain."

[Lawshenk]

" I was in a porta-loo " she smiled " and like the lovely Marla " I was being bullied they tried to tip it over and get me covered in the toliets contents, over me but I was able to stop it from happening "

[Lady Jenn]

"What did you do after that?" Marla asked. "I'm guessing you couldn't scare the bullies off like I did?"

[Lawshenk]

" they go the toilet dumped on them"

[Lady Jenn]

"Now I'd have paid to see that," Marla said, laughing even in spite of the stern look Lucas flashed in her direction. "Oh come on, they were bullies, they don't deserve much sympathy."

[Lawshenk]

" I hid my powers till recently and all that was hurt was pride " she started to serve up

[Lady Jenn]

"I was going to suggest you show those powers off for me sometime," Marla said as she sat down. "But I don't want my pride getting hurt, unless you make up for it after."

[Lawshenk]

" foods ready but can we have a chat first Marla in private

[Lady Jenn]

"I'll just check something on the transport," Lucas said, vanishing out of the room.

"He really knows how to be subtle doesn't he," Marla said, rolling her eyes. "Should I be worried you want to chat to me alone?"

[Lawshenk]

" you are flirting with me right ? I am just not entirely sure?"

[Lady Jenn]

"If this is you asking me to sop," she replied, "then I apologise for making you uncomfortable, that was never my intention I promise."

[Lawshenk]

" not at all I'm just checking that is what it is I am new to it"
