Addison rubbed her chin. Hmmmm Then she suddenly realized something. Phoenix. She transmitted. What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything.

"It's okay man, I've got the ship on lockdown. You can come out if you want. Nothing's getting in there without me knowing now," Jay transmitted over the speakers

'It's nothing,' she transmitted back to Addi, praying she would believe her, 'I'm just going to stay on the ship.'

Then out loud; "No, Jay," she said, panicking, "I'll still stay here, just to be sure."
Gone was her mask of confidence and sass, Phoenix was terrified.

"Suit yourself I guess." Jay's eyes flickered again, and he snapped out of his odd daze. "Well, it looks like I can do a lot more with tech than I used to now. That oughta be useful."

Addison sighed. Jasmine, you need to tell me what's wrong. I can hear your other thoughts anyway. I know what's wrong.

Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief, slumping down on the wall. They wouldn't find out. She was safe.

That's when she heard Addi.

"You heard? I thought I was blocking my thoughts." Phoenix replied, again panicking.

Lucille could hear the speakers in the spaceship go off, she turned to Jay, “How did you access the speakers? How did I hear that? What is going on.”

I don't know how, but yes I did hear. And I don't think you're a freak. And you're the same Phoenix that I have known for years. Just because you look different doesn't mean that you are different. Addi replied, attempting to calm down her friend.

Jay turned to Lucille. "Ok so normally I can control small devices and pieces of big things like ships and stuff, but I guess the planet amplified my range and strength somehow."

“… I don’t know whether to squeal in excitement or scream in fear.” Lucille said flatly.

Jay laughed. "I would go with excitement, but whatever floats your boat."

“Let’s just go get the satellite…”

Hearing the others begin to leave, she again approached the doors.
"You might be fine with me," Phoenix transmitted to Addi, "but what about the others? they don't know me as well."

Jay literally is half-cyborg. And Aspen accepted him right away. Everyone did. She argued gently.

"but he's still human, just with enhancements," Phoenix argued back miserably, "not a freak like me."

Addison mentally cleared her throat. And all of us have powers on this planet. I am talking to you mentally. We all have a bunch of powers that we don't even know about. You'r not alone hermana. We're all trying to figure this out. We're stronger if we're together. She encouraged, determined to get her friend to come out of the ship.

"Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly. If Addi thought she was okay, maybe the others would, too…?

I'm sure.

"Okay."
She took a deep breath, bracing herself, and slowly walked out of the ship to meet her teammates.

Addi turned to look at her friend and gave her an encouraging smile.
