"Next time you feel queasy, focus your power and send out something simple. A power outage in the middle of Atlas City. Turn a section of the pink crystal mountains in Persiana blue with no explanation. It's all stirring things up and seeing where the chips fall. It's the highest stakes of gambling, Jinx.

"Rena, you have seen much more valuable things. This is just a small token." "What about me and Mindy?" Jenny half-jokingly asked. "As a bank manager, you must be familiar with these social customs." Cynthia wasn't having it. "Jenny, are you saying you want one too?" Jenny maintained her smile. "Who wouldn't want a gold bracelet? Mindy, do you want one?"

Oh, God. No. No. No. Yes? Yes. Yes. YES. Oh, God. Oh my God. OH MY GOD. ITS HAPPENED. "Breathe, Alya," Jay said softly, amusement flickering in his eyes.

Just… jewelry.” Nina raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by my pathetic attempt to bluff. “Really?” she replied smoothly. “Because I remember something very different. Something very precious to me.” Panic clawed at my insides as I saw the looks of doubt creeping onto the faces of the girls around us.

I said, snapping the bone clean. Silence again. Longer this time. I could almost hear their brains clicking. Hazel blinked twice. Rhea made a sound like a mushroom dropped into boiling water. “Sorry?” Hazel said. “Come again?” Rhea at the same time. I lifted my left hand, this time not to check my nails.

"See? I told you he's impatient." JJ climbed down from the couch and hurried toward a small table in the corner. There were beads, strings, and little pieces of colored plastic scattered across it. "I was making something," he announced. "For who?" He looked at me. "You." I blinked. "For me?" He nodded seriously. I walked over and crouched beside him.

I couldn't help but laugh, which came out more like a snort than anything and the twins cocked their heads to the side watching me with amusement.

“So Jean doesn’t have powers? How is she able to link in and use all the gadgets? Doesn’t most of them actually require powers?” “The area’s of the house she frequents, we’ve modified all the gadgets with motion sensors.
