Zexia's p.o.v.

"What do you mean by 'keeping them down there'?!" I asked Rose. She was talking about keeping the villains locked up till they figure out what to do with them. "Zexia, I know you don't want to keep your brothers locked up but it's for the safety of the city." Rose said calmly.

"But it might be forever till we figure out what to even do with them. Why don't we just have them join us?" I asked Rose.

"Zexia that's too risky. They are still villains." Dave said.

"Eridan was a villain but we trusted him!"

"That's a different situation. He's not like the other villains." Rose said.

"It's no where different!" I yelled getting angrier. Everyone suddenly backed away from me and I heard a weird spark sound from below me. I looked down and saw purple sparks going through my fingers. It felt so weird, like energy was moving through my fingers. I still don't know how to handle my powers so I take a few deep breaths and watch as the sparks disappear. Everyone still haven't gotten use to my powers as well and I feel as if they're scared of me.

"I'm going to talk to my brother, don't come find me." I warned as I walked to the different jail cells. All the villains were spaced out so none of them could talk to each other. I find my brother Gamzee and sit in front of the jail cell.

"Hey Zexia." Gamzee smiled to me. I had convinced Rose to make some of the potions for the villains so they wouldn't talk weird when communicating with us.

"Hey Gamzee." I said not smiling back.

"Why the long face sister?" He asked

"Well... the heroes might keep you here till the figure out what to do with you guys but they won't listen to me about making you guys switch sides." I spoke to him truthfully.

"Ah... Zexia, I've done so much to so many people and it's now my time to pay my debt for doing all those bad deeds. The switching sides idea doesn't actually sound too bad but no one trust villains." Gamzee said.

"I can try talking to them more! I can try to convince them! I just don't want to lose you and Kurloz... y-you guys are my family a-and I don't know what I'd do without guys..." I said starting to tear up. I was taught to never show weakness but when you're about to lose everything it's hard holding back your tears.

"Zexia? Your hands?" Gamzee questioned. I looked down and saw that they were sparking up again. I guess my powers activate when I'm in a very emotional state. How odd? Gamzee stared at my hands till the sparks disappeared.

"I have psionics now. I don't know why or how but I do." I tell Gamzee and smiles for me.

"That's really cool. I always knew you were a very special girl." Gamzee said making me laugh.

"Yeah right... I promise to find a way to get you out. I don't want you to be locked here forever."

"I'll be fine, I just want you to have fun. I should've told you this years ago but I'll say it now. Have fun, make friends, and live your life. You're still really young Zexia and I shouldn't have kept you hidden from the world for all those years." Gamzee says before reaching out and honking my nose making us both laugh. I talked with Gamzee for a bit more till I was called upstairs. I said my goodbyes and headed up the stairs.

"You called?" I questioned to whoever called for me.

"Zexia, I have been thinking about what you said earlier. It would bring us great benefits if we did somehow have the villains join us. Our organization would expand greatly." Rose said making me smile.

"I will be asking the villains questions and will decide who can join and who will stay don't in the cells until they change their minds. Thanks for the idea Zexia." Rose then walks past me and I felt like jumping in the air.

"Hey Zexia! You seem happy." John smiled to me making me blush a bit.

"Uh yeah. I'm very happy from what Rose informed me about." I smile back.

"Well that's great to hear. Oh! Sollux said that he is also willing to help you with your new powers."

"Really? Great! I don't want to accidentally shock someone." I say awkwardly laugh.

"Heh yeah. That'd be bad." John said rubbing the back of his neck. It was silent for the next minute. Gog why am I awkward around this boy?! John turned to walk away but then quickly turned back to me and grabbed my hand. "Please don't be mad." He says before swiftly pulling my hand forward and catching me in his lips. I was shocked by the situation. Literally, I think my powers moved to my lips because I felt a spark that shocked both of us, making us pull away quickly.

"S-Sorry! That was sudden and I didn't know my psionics could do that!" I quickly apologized but John just laughed.

"Don't worry, it was sorta my fault for surprising you anyways." He says and we both turned red.

"W-Wanna try that again? Second times the charm." I say making John turn redder. He chuckles at my last comment and nods his head. We both lean forward and this time we felt a different spark. Like fireworks, and the only energy I felt between us was energy of new found love. The feeling was great and once we pulled away I craved for another kiss.

"That was great." I blurted out on accident.

"Heh, yeah it was." John smiled. It was awkward for a few seconds till Dave and Jade came out of no where.

"Hey John, I need to show you something." Dave said dragging John away.

"Hey Zexia, we need to go and talk about something." Jade smirked to me making me feel nervous. Is this what it feels like to be in love? It feels amazing but now I think I need to have a long talk with Jade for some reason.
