What The Luck!?

Chapter 142 - 142. Flustered

"No more! I'm, going to die!" Sammy had started to get more and more dramatic over the last two hours of training. She had quickly found that her legs started to hurt and wanted to be done in that second. "Why can't I fly yet? Whhhyyyyyy!??"

"Well if you practiced with your super power more maybe you'd be able to float in place," Louise spoke in a monotone voice but it was enough to antagonize Sammy.

"Wait, random question." Jane had an idea about Sammy's power while she was training. "Why don't you try to always use your power to make your body lighter or speed yourself up with air flow? It would be good practice and you would be able to do things easier."

"I- umm…"

"Well, she can't just do that. She will miss out on training and end up just skin and bones. What if she needs to walk and can't even dot hat because she is too weak." Art countered Jane's idea, but they were both right.

"Well, she should do both. Physical training and then the rest of the day use her power to train in daily life." Asher summed things up before Sammy could chime in due to her indecision.

Sammy was cowering by Lousid as the three went on their hardcore analysis rant about her super power, "I didn't want to do it because it would make me tired all the time…"

"I know, I know. They just need to get their brains working. They already did this with my power before, but they are right you know." Louis tried to be a nice cousin and comfort his family, but he couldn't avoid the fact that the three were right about her needing t train her super power more.

"Ha! Found you guys again, you won't believe the kid who fell in the- This kid! He fell in the water and fried the whole place! It was awesome." Laura found the group and immediately zeroed in on Louis.

"Agh, this crazy girl. She tried to get me to race her the second I showed up. Even tried to get me to use my powers but I can't control that." Louis sounded annoyed by his voice also had some curiosity.

"That is Laura, she is the third who came with Asher and me to camp early. She has a lot of energy with her super power. To be fair, since your super power is lightning and can zap someone she might be able to hang around you the best. She should be fast enough to avoid some strong zaps in a blink of an eye." Jackson had this theory earlier but had waited for Laura t inevitably show up to share it.

"Oooo, yeah. I was right next to the water when he fell in. It was cool because I was able to run away really quickly. The lightning isn't that fast. I would say the regular electricity that is focused is much faster." Laura had been curious about these things and even tested herself against a current in a science class. The teacher had been very open to testing this since they always wanted to help students understand their super powers.

"Can you see the lightning from my body moving?" Louis moved right in front of Laura full of curiosity. His previous feeling wiped way.

"Of course I can. My mind is a little slow compared to my body since I need to adjust my processing speed. But my eyes and senses are fast enough. My body reacts instinctually like any human does, just faster." This made perfect sense. Her processing didn't need to matter if it was her instinct reacting.

"Can you tell me the shapes they took? How fast you think they moved? Did it arc or was it like a lightning bolt and webbed? I can't believe your eyes saw that, it's amazing." Louis had never shown himself to be so excited before. The only one who knew what was going on was Sammy who was smiling like a fool.

"It was webbed, really cool looking. And definitely slower than normal lightning, maybe a quarter of the speed, it was odd. And well, I'm fine with you looking at my eyes, but you are really close." Louis had moved in much closer than he intended and Laura had not been prepared. He was trying to get a look at her eyes and also get answers and just rushed forward.

"I-I sorry. I don't usually get excited that much…" Louis trailed off getting back to his normal quiet persona.

"But when he feels comfortable and won't zap someone he goes back to his usual self and gets very excited and doesn't realize he is in someone's bubble. He used to be a very huggable person before his evo shot. But I would have thought he would be shy around you, guess he likes you." Sammy stuck her tongue out at Louis since she was sharing all kinds of facts she knew that he wouldn't tell them.

"How can you already be comfortable with Laura? I'm still getting used to her? Oh wait, do you have a crush?" Jane felt the gossip talk coming and couldn't resist joining in with Sammy. The two girls could easily have horns and a devil's tail at the moment.

"Don't worry Louis, I won't judge you on the girls you like. Just make sure you always have snacks if you want to hang out with Laura. She needs to eat a lot and will run off after them." Asher was oblivious to the teasing that was going on and just supported him whole heartedly.

"I think we broke him...He's just kinda sitting there zoned out." Art tried to poke Louis but received a small static shock instead. None noticed that Laura was fidgeting and trying to find an excuse to leave out of her own embarrassment.

"I don't know about anyone else but I am hungry again. Who wants to go get some more food?" Jackson was the saving grace for the two. He jumped in just to try and get the heat off Louis and Laura who he could perfectly see were flustered.
