TRAPPED - 2 (sketchxreader)

Elijah-

Then I spent the next few days with y/n, training. Those days went over by a woosh and it was all very surreal....

I remember the first day she took me out and about, I couldn't tell where though as I still had a blindfold over my eyes and something around my wrists as well. I don't know why I was still tied?

"Why am I-"

She spoke over me, "I expected you to handle the super powers better. I know you were practically an amateur but I'm still disappointed in you Elijah."

"I am sorry" I said as I felt her tugging my arm into another direction.

"Now I must teach you how to mindfully use your super powers and I will teach you this in real time with examples and practice. Practice is key actually."

Then I suddenly felt her pushing me against the wall.

She spoke in a whisper, "Elijah. There's an alleyway nearby and a mugging is taking place over there. Two men with masks are mugging another man. I want you to use your powers to stop it. This is not a drill. This is a test. This is real."

"What?!" I was shocked.

"Use your powers. " She said firmly.

I was confused because I had no control over my powers. I didn't know what to do and I was disturbed to know that I was near a real crime scene.

"Elijah!" She brought me out of my thoughts.

I replied, "bu- but I can't use my powers! I am not angry towards anyone! I mean- I can't even look at the robber- does he look like one of the jocks?"

"See! That's the problem! You let your emotions guide your powers. Elijah listen to me, you don't need strong emotions to use your super powers, you need a strong mind." She explained.

She continued in an intimidated yet soft voice, "Now close your eyes shut but not too heavily. I'll give you a mind exercise to practice. Relax every part of your body and just focus on your mind. Imagine the left side of your brain contains your super powers and imagine your focus is an orb. You have to bring that orb towards the left part of your brain. Do it slowly. Think of nothing else but this. "

I was skeptical of y/n's mind exercise at first but I had no choice but to do what she told me to do. Slowly I felt more clarity as if everything was at the palm of my head.

Then I felt y/n undoing the handcuffs and freeing my wrists then I felt a very familiar sensation. The bracelet was on my arm again. She put it back on.

"Continue the mind exercise." She told me and I listened.

Then all of a sudden y/n spoke in her normal voice, "Elijah!" She exclaimed.

It startled me because we had been talking in whispers this whole time.

"You made them both faint! The victim guy ran away! He got away safe!!! " Y/n informed.

A small smile appeared on my face as I realized that I had just stopped a robbery and from that day on, we never looked back.

She took me out every night and we'd stop crimes using the bracelet and I only got better at the mind exercise y/n taught me. I felt more in control now and helping people made me happy as well. I felt like a real super hero.

I started learning more and more as the days went by. I could now control the 'punishment' I gave to these criminals. Using mind control, I could decide whether I wanted to make them faint, give them a nosebleed or something much much worse but we never went to the third option as it's only activated when I lose all control and become emotionally unstable like the day at the theatre play.

On our nightly walks I still had to wear a blindfold but y/n didn't keep my wrists cuffed anymore. She was starting to trust me but she was hiding something as well. I wasn't allowed to see anything without her permission.

She even taught me how to smash water bottles.

"Just put your mind to it. " She said.

Though, I tried for days and days I had no luck.

Till one day I was able to do it and I heard the sound of the bottles smashing as well. Y/n cheered me on.

"You're doing quite good at the training." She stated.

I smiled.

But who knew smashing water bottles with your mind would be kinda harder than stopping crime.

Anyway, y/n always kept a blindfold on my eyes but I remember only one day she took it off and I saw...
