I stay still, after just waking up, to remember all the things that happened yesterday and understand where I am.
I get up and I walk on tiptoes towards the deck of the ship; the sky is slightly bright, the dawn is coming.
I sit down and contemplate the peaceful blue sea; after some minutes, I hear the wooden planks of the floor creak and Andy appears.
«Early-rising, huh?» I say, hinting a smile.
«I couldn't sleep» he candidly admits, sitting besides me.
We remain silent for a while, then the guy winces.
«Finally we've arrived» he sighs, pointing out an island near there.
«Which island is?»
«Santa Catalina Island.»
I hull my eyes. «Really? Sheesh, the ship travelled very fast!»
«Yep! We come here to get supplies of water and selvaggina because this island is a no man's land for now, all the inhabitants ran away.»
«Who will go?»
«My four friends and I. It's better if you stay safe on the ship.»

After two more hours, the ship drops anchor a few meters away from the coast and the five guys reach the land with a boat that is big enough for them and for the stuff they'll get.
I still sit down on the deck, scanning the horizon and the island with trepidation. Jared and two girls come and sit near me, as anxious as me. After another couple of hours, they come back and everyone sighs in relief.
«The beach near the city is perfect for some work-out...why don't we go there?»
I jerk weakly 'cause I didn't hear Andy approaching at me.
«It's...it's okay.»
I observe him while he asks his four mates to follow him, then we board and reach the desert beach; after landing we look around to make sure everything is okay, then we get ready for the work-out.
«Well, here we go» I say, a bit nervous. «Tell me what I have to do.»
«Uppermost, we will acquaint you about the skills we've got» Andy answers. «Christian is also called Destroyer because he's able to control destructive waves and energy. Chris, show here something, but be careful if you don't want to hurt us!» he says then, laughing at the last words.
The dark-haired guy steps forward and tidies up a bit his long black hair, then he throws a punch on the sand, without too much energy; blast waves shed to the impact and they throw me upside down even if I'm some meters away.
«Forgive him, he didn't contain himself very much» Andy laughs, lending me a hand to help me getting up. «Jinxx, also called Mystic, is able to generate fire, and now he will show you» he continues; the other guy with bright eyes extends a hand with palm facing up, focuses on it and then a flame comes out. I'm amazed, but I try to not show it.
«Ashley and Jake don't have special skills, they simply fight» Andy says. «I fight too and I've got good muscles for this, but I've got a special skill as you, I've got strong vocal cords and I can daze or blow away my enemy. Now, show us what you can do.»
The five leaders stand in front of me, so it's a bit hard for me to focus well, but after one minute I'm ready: I fill my lungs with air, I prepare my vocal cords and then I scream with anger.
Unbelievable but true, new blast waves as the Christian's ones rise around me and the guys falter a bit, working hard to stand still, then I stop to dampen my throat.
«Good!» Ashley says, with a smirk.
«We agree» Jake and Jinxx speak together.
«You stole me the special effect! Ahahah, I'm kidding, you're very good» Christian laughs.
«Very good!» Andy congratulates with me, with a wide smile. «You won't have to work as hard as I thought; go ahead training yourself with your special skill, but don't forget to do some work-out, you'll need it to be strong.»
I've got a smile that goes from an ear to the other ear and my cheeks are reddened after the compliments I received from the five guys. We go back to the boat to reach for the ship.
«As I can see, we are superpower colleagues» Andy comments, with a light grin.
«Well, I'm not a-»
He cuts me off, placing a finger on my lips. «You're so self-critical and belittle yourself a lot. Why don't you relax and enjoy the congratulations without any problem?»
I laugh, then I tidy up my hair. «As you wish, my leader, since now I'll act this way!»
«Oh, now it's okay» he adds, then he winks at me and I blush a bit.
«Do you mind if I steal your best friend for a while?» he asks, with a laugh.
«Oh, no, don't worry, I don't mind» I answer, smiling.
Andy takes Jared arm in arm and they board again on the boat together. From the ship, I attend my best friend's examination, even if I can't see very much because of the distance. He has no special skills, but he's strong and athletic and is able to fight: I see him while the guys make him lift some weights and he does it without any effort, then Jared shows some particular move, almost as the martial arts' ones, and the leaders nod, obliging.
I grin. I'm so much proud of Jared and I'm so happy he's with me in this new and harder period of my life.
