"Oh?" Blake asked. "And how are we gonna go about that?"
"Well, first of all, obviously none of you are empathic or telepathic." Isaac said. "Umm, I don't think either of you are shape shifters."
"Let's try Telekinesis and Teleportation." Jess suggested. "Just focus on a small object and trying to make it move to or appear in your hand."
"It's ok if it doesn't get there straight away." Isaac assured them. "Of course, you may not have either at all, and so, nothing will happen, but, you know."
"I can't really focus on an object. Even with Sonar." James told them ruefully.
"Oh yeah, I was forgetting that."
"No, matter, I'll give it a whirl." Blake said cheerfully.
He concentrated on the remote to the tv. Nothing.
"Ahh well." He said. "Who needs the tv remote when I can just change the channel by merely thinking about it?."
"By the way, some of your powers might not become evident until later." Jess put in. "Like with my Dreams power. I didn't realise I had that until there were people asleep."
"Good point." Zac commented.
Then, completely out of the blue, Zac threw a couple of foil lolly wrappers at Blake and James.
"Hey, what was that for?" Blake demanded.
"I was just checking to see if you had force fields. Obviously not." He replied.
They guys went through the entire list of powers that they knew. After awhile, Taylor popped in.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi Tay. No pounding?" Isaac asked.
"No, no." Taylor replied, sounding relieved. "But ahh, I would like to know what it was. I, uhh, I was thinking, umm, could you enhance my powers - or at least my Deep Telepathy - briefly James?"
"Sure, but how will that help you find out what it was?"
"Well… I was going to take down my telepathic force field a little and, uhh, let in whatever it is that's trying to get in."
"Oh. Ok. Let me know when you're ready and I'll give it a whirl."
"Ok." Taylor answered, sitting down. "I'm ready now."
James concentrated. He focused on Taylor in his mind, and somehow, Taylor's powers started becoming stronger. Nervously, Taylor let down his block…
"What -" Isaac began.
"Thoughts. I'm receiving everyone thoughts - but that wasn't unexpected." Taylor answered before his brother even finished asking the question.
He gulped.
"And uhh, some ahh, recent memories. Stuff like that. You can turn it off now James. I don't want to hear any more."
James stopped enhancing Taylor.
"Look, all I can say, is if that's a taste of what this power is gonna be like when I get stronger, I, I, I just hope my block gets stronger with it."
