"Sure. Ike can shape shift with his clothes on, why not a plaster on his leg?" Jess asked.
"Yes, but his leg is broken."
"Well, he can shape shift despite injuries - like with his arm."
"So, what's this about friends?" Rocky interrupted.
"Oh we've met other people with powers. Some we've triggered, some already were." Taylor answered.
"Really?"
"Yeah, but we're not in the habit of just giving out names." Walker affirmed.
"Of course. So, there are others besides Rachel?"
"You know about Rachel?" Taylor asked.
"Certainly." Trinity answered. "We've known about you Hansons having powers for a while. Like we said before, us mutants are thick in this area at the moment. She's a powerful cookie that Rachel. Weather is not a common power. Neither is shape shifting for that matter."
"Really? We know two people with that. Well, not including Zella."
"You mean, Isaac isn't the only shape shifter you know?" Oscar asked. "And yet none of you here have an animal power do you?"
"Animal power?" asked Diana. "No."
"Didn't even know there was animal powers until you guys turned up." Taylor added.
"Interesting how things work out huh?" Rocky replied blandly. "Animal powers are very common. None of your friends have one?"
"Not that we know of." Jess answered.
Oscar yawned.
"I don't suppose there's a place here I could crash?" he asked. "I'm not used to-to staying up this early."
"Sure. Come with me." Walker said.
He and Oscar got up and left the room.
"Staying up this early." Taylor repeated with an amused expression on his face.
"So, what do you think she's going to do to Zac?" Avie asked quietly.
They all looked at her.
"It's hard to say." Trinity admitted. "The Goblin's method are hard to figure out, and very few of us have ample opportunity to figure her out. Only thing we know for certain - and I know this is going to sound corny - is that she's, well, bent on world domination."
"Who isn't?" Taylor couldn't help but snickering.
"Laugh you might, but she has an advantage that may just do the trick." Rocky put in. "Aside from Frog, and Teleportation, her third power is Semi-immortality. We don't know the complete specifications of that mutation, except that she's already hundreds of years old, and she still looks Isaac's age. And on top of that, she has patience and she's an... intelligent schemer. As I recall, there have been a few close calls in the past."
"Before we were even born." Trinity added with a rueful smile. "Oh, Goblin's had plenty of time to figure us out. I just wish we could figure her out just as well."
