Chapter 11

Taylor woke up in the middle of the night. Softly he got out of bed so not to disturb his brothers and tip-toed down to the kitchen. He switched on the light.

"Jess? What are you doing up?" Taylor asked.

"I like to have my dreams block down a little so I can help anyone out if they're having nightmares."

"Oh. It was you."

"Yeah."

"Umm, thanks."

"You're welcome. Anyway, I figured you'd come down here when I felt you weren't asleep any more." She paused. "Was it my fault?"

"Was what your fault?" Taylor asked, a little confused.

"Was it my fault you woke up?"

"No, no. Well, I don't think so. I don't know what you did in my dream."

Jess smiled.

"But, uhh, ok, I think I woke more because…" Taylor frowned and thought for a moment. "Well, ok, y'know how when you're asleep you can work out the answers to problems and stuff?"

"Yeah."

"Ok, well, y'know about what happened to me in the toilets right?"

"Yeah." Jess pulled a face of disgust.

"Well, it has just occurred to me that I was using one of my probes to attack the guy to try and knock him out. Heck I didn't even know I could do that, well, not until then… like, you know how with our powers we just know what we can do? We can't explain it? It's like that."

"Oh… ok. It's way too late at night for me to think. G'night." Jess said, yawning.

"Yeah, ok, good night."

Jess left and Taylor got a drink of water, thinking about what he just told Jess.

"Something in there magnified my powers." He murmured to himself. "That would explain the pounding on my block, and the probe thing."

He had his drink and started wandering back to bed.

"Well, that's exciting. When my strength increases I'll be able to knock people out. Whoo hoo, I'm overjoyed."

He yawned.

"Jess was right. It's too late for this."
