Chapter 5

"Mwa ha ha ha ha!" Zac laughed evilly, with a twinkle in the eye to match.

"Oh yeah, that's becoming." Isaac commented dryly.

"Ah, you're just mad 'cause you need to fill up the water bombs from the tap."

The guys were standing around the pool at one of the hotels at which they were staying and throwing water bombs at each other. The only reason why Zac was using his powers in such a potentially public place was because the Hansons were the only ones there.

For once.

Splat!

"Hey!" Taylor yelped. "Ooh, I'm gonna get ya for that one Zac!"

"So what else is new?"

Then Isaac threw a bomb at Zac.

Zac grinned, for all of a sudden, the bomb stopped in mid air.

"What the -" Isaac asked.

"You're not using Telekinesis." Taylor said, a little confused.

"No, I'm not… Mackie?"

"He's not either." Taylor answered.

Isaac stared at Taylor.

"How do you know that?"

Taylor frowned for a moment.

"I, I've discovered something about my Deep Telepathy. There are like, two blocks. One I keep down all the time - that's the one that reads people's minds. The second one I've kept up all this time and I didn't even know it."

"Oh?"

"Because it's been up all this time, I've been able to, uhh, monitor telepathic activity, as it were. So, I know when any one of us Telepaths are talking to each other. Or you or Mackie are using Telekinesis or Mackie is teleporting something."

"When did this start?"

Taylor shrugged.

"Not sure. I didn't really notice it at first."

"Well, that still doesn't explain -"

The water bomb flew back at Isaac and exploded on his shoulder.

"Y'know Ike, I didn't think you were an idiot." Zac said. "I have a water affinity. I can control water. You threw a water bomb at me. With water in it no less. Need I say more?"

"Oh, hello duh!" Isaac grinned.
