"Powers? Powers? Really Flynn? You actually, truly believe that Celeste has powers?" Delilah says in a very condescending tone.
    "Yeah I do! I mean, give me a more reasonable and satisfactory option in your opinion." Flynn snaps back. I'm reading his mind and there's that 'Joel' figure again. Who is he? And why does Flynn keep talking to him in his mind?
    "Okay! She could've gotten an adrenaline rush! Or..." Her words cut out as Flynn counters back.
    "Oh, yeah, totally. She got an adrenaline rush and 'squeezed' me back to life. That makes total sense." As he finishes his sentence I feel gravity taken off my shoulders. I panic as I look out the rain-filled window.
    "Guys," I say quietly as Delilah and Flynn continue to bicker. "Guys!"
    "Sure, Flynn, sure! Because you know everything about Celeste and 'medical problems'!"
    "GUYS!" I shout once more.
    I finally gain their attention when they both say in sync, "WHAT!?" Their voices are both drenched in anger and regret.
    "What Celeste? Sorry, but we're kind of in the middle of something." Delilah says calmly trying to take back her snap at me.
"Look down!" I start in complete shock, "we're... we're," I don't get to finish, fear lining my voice.
"Floating!" Delilah and Flynn gasp in sync, once again. "Oh.. my.. lanta.." Delilah's window rolls down, letting in some of the cool raindrops parading down from the sky. "Wow."
Flynn on the other hand is scrunched up into a ball, his head is between his knees, which are wrapped tightly underneath his muscular arms. He loses his balances and falls onto my arm, grabbing onto it. When he gazes into my eyes he says, "I've never noticed how pale your blue eyes are." Wow thanks like I haven't gotten that before. He catches himself by mumbling, "Like in a good way, they're like lights shining bright all the time, no matter what the situation is or how bad it is. They're beautiful." He finishes and swoops his hair back into the messy style he seems to love.
"Hello?! We have to focus on the task at hand people! Also, get a room." Delilah rudely shouts at us while giggling towards the end of her statement.
"Ugh, whatever loser!" I say while punching her arm and holding my fingers out in an 'L' shape over my forehead.
"How is this happening again?" Delilah continues, then she tilts her head while making direct eye contact with me and raising one eyebrow.
"Ummm, wait, why is it always my fault?" I snap back.
"Because you're the only one with powers here!" Delilah says while raising her eyebrow higher.
"Oh so you do agree with me!" Flynn blurts out in the middle of our conversation. "Sorry." He leans back and wraps his arms tighter around his knees. I read his mind and all I can hear is, 'don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. What the actual heck Joel? Why why why why????' Why is he always talking to this Joel person?
"This might be a bad time, but I'm like deathly afraid of heights," Flynn says while biting his lip.
    "Oh, really Sherlock? Like we didn't figure that one out." Delilah blurts our once again.
    "It's fine. I've got this right? I mean if I brought us up here then I can bring us back down, right?... hello? I need approval guys!" I say frantically while trying to control my breathing.
    "Yes, yes. Sorry." Delilah mumbles.
    "Yeah, just hurry up!" Flynn shouts while snapping his fingers in the air. "Woah."
    The car begins to tilt to the left, then the right, then forward, and finally back straight again. My blue eyes are closed, my mind is focusing on getting us down. From what I saw when I looked out the window we are about 40-50 feet off the ground. A fall from this height could seriously hurt one of us again, or all of us.
    "Celeste!" Flynn screams out, reaching for my arm, but he's just an inch too late. The door on my side swings open. Since I have my eyes closed I have no idea what's happening until I feel the wind rushing against my face and my hair whipping around me.
    Flynn leans towards the open gateway to the forest below, he tries to help me but fails. His ankles hook onto the small ridge of the car floor, desperately trying to hang on. And yet, he slips, plummeting towards me I reach out my hand and everything sits still for a moment. I open my eyes and see his figure still flailing around in mid-air, trying to touch the ground.
    "Ahhhhhh... wait." I laugh as the look on Flynn's face goes from being absolutely terrified to utterly and completely confused.
As I sit in mid-air, around twenty feet off the ground, I begin to sweat and nervousness consumes me. How am I doing this again? Oh right, apparently I have powers. How long can I keep this up? Is there a time limit or energy limit? Could I die if I use my energy or powers too much? I shake my head and look at Flynn, "alright, don't freak out, but I'm going to drop you."
"What?! Are serious? I'll die!" Flynn screams back at me.
"No you're not going to die, you're going to be fine. If you would've let me finish I would tell you that I'm going to use my other 'power' to grow a soft vine for you to land on. Just sit still, okay?"
"Okay." Flynn's voice is laced with nervousness and sorrow. His head tilts downwards and his amber eyes meet the forest floor. I can see the fear in his eyes.
"On the count of three I'm going to drop you. One... two..."
"THREE!" Flynn and I say in sync and my mind wanders away from Flynn to a vine I see on a lean tree. I lower my hand and then raise it, the green vine follows my pale fingers. Then, it begins to widen and large palm-like leaves grow from it.
"Wait!" As I look down to where Flynn is falling I realize that my vine is nowhere near him! I sweep my hand across the forest, through trees and large branches. Please, please, please be fast enough.
"Umm, Celeste? I'm almost to the ground. Celeste!?"
