I stood in the field, empty handed. Kaylee and Josh stood a few feet away behind a special shield. The shield supposedly repelled nuclear blasts. They crouched behind it, their heads poking above it, waiting to see me "explode." I was afraid of what would happen if i so much as lifted a finger.

But i had to do this. I needed Josh to help me, before something worse happened. So, i held my breath and let the rush of electricity flow in my body. It burned as it rushed through me, the powerful sensation spreading to my finger tips. I opened my clenched fists and immediately everything was bent over by a wave of power. Everything but me was pushed away easily. A circle of incredible force spread over the field. The grass was flattened and i saw the distant trees bend in my nuclear wind. Everything burned inside me and as soon as i closed my fists i sank to the ground.

"Zoe!" I heard somewhere near me. Soon Kaylee came into view and she knelt down to my level. I was sitting on my knees, shaking and breathing heavily. I felt Kaylee's hand on my shoulder as she spoke to me.

"It's ok, you're ok." She said. "Deep breath, relax." I closed my eyes and took a long deep breath before standing up. And when i did, Kaylee hugged me tightly as she handed my gloves, which i quickly slipped on. Then we both turned to Josh, waiting to see what he'd say.

"Can you fix me?" I asked.

"No, because the nuclear acid is in your blood. It'd be impossible to extract it without accidentally murdering you." Josh stated and my face fell with disappointment. 

"You knew that before though!" I spat, "Why did you make me do this then." I was rather annoyed now, at myself and at this goon of a scientist. 

"You showed me that you can control it. Which is great because if you couldn't who knows the destruction you could cause." Josh said, which made sense in the back of my head but that didn't change the fact that i was angry with him.

"What if i couldn't control it, huh? You both could've been dead!" I hissed and was about to go on when, unfortunately, Kaylee stopped me.

"He's right." She said. "You can control it, that's a step in the right direction." 

"So now what?" I asked, still a bit frustrated. 

"We're going to train you. Help you learn how to control it." Josh said.

"And maybe, we'll do something with it." Kaylee added. 

"Ok," I agreed. "Let's get started."
