#cuckoostarter

Despite being five of the most powerful telepaths in the planet, even strong emotions, raw and unguarded, could be felt by them. Mentally adjusting their psychic shields, they looked, in-unsion, at the other.

As soon as the three explosions took place, the panic and injury sent psychic shockwaves throughout the state. Despite being trained to block out stray thoughts, such intensity, especially by that many people, could affect even the most trained of telepaths: the Cuckoos were no exception. As the five were in the library, each reading a different genre of novel, the shockwave hit them and they immediately closed and/or dropped their books to touch their temple.

All: “Ughh....”

The Cuckoos groaned in pain, feeling the psychic strain of all those peoples’ trauma. Instinctively, Christian immediately shifted to diamond form to silence the wave, and milliseconds later, the rest of the Cuckoos followed suit as if they were on automatic. Taking a brief moment, the Cuckoos simultaneously shifted back into their normal forms, regained their composure, and adjusted their psychic shields accordingly.

Psychically reaching out, their echoing psionic voice echoed into the nearest mind, with Sean leading the charge.
