Chapter 3: Uncontrollable

Almost an hour after leaving to scavenge for food I came to realize that it was way too quiet. There was no wind, no birds, not a single sign of life. I decided that it was a lost cause and started to head back to camp, when I caught a glimpse of movement in the corner in my eye. But when I turned to investigate, there was nothing there. I could have sworn that someone or something was watching me and I had very bad feeling about it. But I just brushed it off as my mind playing tricks on me and kept walking. When I got back to camp my siblings were nowhere to be found. "BOO!!!" someone behind yelled. Now I want to say that I turned around and punched my brother for scaring me and totally did not turn into a human napalm bomb, but you can't win every battle. I'm not sure what surprised me more: the fact that I turned our campsite into a giant scorch mark, Wesley had become a rock, or that Liz was inside of an ice cube. When the 3 of finally decided that we were done freaking out, I said "Well on the bright side of things we have superpowers, but on the other side of things our campsite is a giant scorch mark and I think Wesley would have pissed himself if he wasn't made of rocks right now. But hey, superpowers are cool right?" Wesley quickly responded by saying "No I wouldn't!" "Yes, you would have and all 3 of us know it" Liz stated. "Okay whatever, first off I just noticed that I am releasing what look like solar flares, which I'm going to guess is not good." That caught both of their attention and from what I know about nuclear physics the flares mean I'm close to reaching critical mass. (For those who don't know what that means, critical mass is what happens when a nuclear reaction becomes unstable and kaboom. I think you can figure the rest.) So I said," Okay if both of you don't want to be incinerated, you need to get about 50 miles away from here in the next 30 seconds!" I figured that they were going going to freak out and start running in circles, but to my surprise they both responded by nodding their heads. Wesley became some kind of rock golem and hulk style jumped through the trees. Liz on the other hand just flew away. (when did he learn to fly!?) But with both of them gone in perfect timing I went boom and not a dynamite kind either, like what would happen if I dropped a match into a hole filled with the entire US nuclear bomb arsenal kind of boom. I must've fainted once again because everything was dark and quiet. I woke up to Wesley throwing a bucket of water at me and not just the water but the entire bucket. So after recovering from a bucket to the face I got up and started pacing back and forth.
