What a great question, my little anon. Here’s some things we’ve definitely been keeping an eye on: 

Lucas and Kristen are having a shouting match at her place of work. Although, we’re not surprised, considering how Lucas tricked her into thinking the bracelet was turning her arm black. Be careful, Lucas! When you make the lioness angry, her mate will most likely come out and defend her as well. @kristenxparrish @greenman-lucas @miles–hall 

We saw Cassandra and Lucas meeting in the library the other day and overheard them making a plan to scare Kaden. I wonder how they are going to figure out what he’s afraid of. Are they going to add Kristen into the mix? Or maybe they’ll go ask his best friend, Logan?  @cassiedaws @logan-kingston37

It seems as though Zachariah has set his sights on Naomi and forced her to use her power. I wonder how Flynn feels about that?  @naomixpatton @zachariahsdisease

Anika is making Flynn uncomfortable but honestly, are we surprised? @flynnxcarver @anikalane 

Tristan and Landon are still at each other’s throats and it’s thoroughly enjoyable. @tristan-miller @ascoldaslandon

Ethan and Fiona are getting friendly on the dance floor of the local club. @ethanxparkinson @fionadrake

We noticed Oliver sitting on a bench all on his lonesome. He looked rather worse for wear. Did the beast get the best of him again or did he get into a brawl that we didn’t see? @olliexwest

And last, but certainly not least, Zane posted a suggestive picture of his friend Tristan on Lake Grimstone’s Instagram. We can only guess that the lipstick was put on Tristan by either Zane or Harley. So who was it, boys?  @harleyhidalgo @zanexpatel

Is there anything we missed? If so, please do share!

Well according to The Rising Power, you all will be leaving six days into the new year. Which means I haven’t given this much thought…. just kidding! I have.

Jackson and that adorable cousin of Hunters, Jessica.

Naomi and Flynn - they are already power training partners, who’s to say it can’t be more?

Antonia and happiness.

Brian and Marcelle

Xavier and Rhea

And don’t forget to send us a letter telling us when you all are in your new relationships!

AU BIO:

Flynn was the nerd all throughout middle school and high school. He couldn’t help it. Comics and superheroes were what he was passionate about. However, that did cause him to be bullied most of his life. Making friends and keeping them wasn’t his strong suit, but he did always have one thing. His comics.

As he grew older, Flynn began writing and drawing some of his own comics. It started off small, as a hobby. One that his parents didn’t approve of. But now, as an adult, he has his own business. He uses his friends as his inspiration for his comics and he even has his own shop in Lake Grimstone. He encourages anyone to come visit whenever they’d like.

CONNECTIONS:

Rhea Soto [ girlfriend ]: Flynn never thought that a girl like Rhea would go for a guy like him. He wasn’t very attractive, or so he thought, and he wasn’t super smart. He had nothing really going for him besides his comic business, and yet, Rhea liked him. It was weird to him but he doesn’t question it. Not in front of Rhea, anyway.

Theodore Capra [ friend ]: Theodore and Flynn connected on a level that Flynn never had when he was a child. They were both extreme nerds and even though Theodore could be shy, Flynn could be as well. They had similarities that Flynn couldn’t ignore and honestly, he’s happy to have a friend like Theo.

I’m open to any other connections!!

Oh, it is not just you, my sweet anon. I honestly only want to see this happen because of the drama. She is, after all, his friend’s ex-lover, that is going to be quite an entertaining relationship to watch. 

Or maybe I’m just being hopeful because I want some drama.

???: You say you want to prove yourself? Track down Elizabeth Zhang and help Danika Porter provoke her into using her power. Keep a shield around them so nothing can get in or out. Succeed in doing these two things and maybe we’ll consider you a more trusted member of our group.

Describe yourself in a few words. Uh... protective? I hate describing myself.

What are your major flaws? My big ears, having to wear glasses, my awkward height, my messy hair that I can never control, my shyness... I bite my nails, I’m claustrophobic, I’m not good at opening up, I don’t like being touched, I don’t trust people easily... I’m a walking flaw. How about that? 

What would you give their life for? Anika and Gabriel.

What is your greatest asset? The only asset I have is my power. Unless you think like my mom, then I have no assets.

What would completely break you? If one of the people I trusted, cared about, and loved left me. Or if they died. 

How does the image your try to project differ from the image you actually project? I’m an insecure mess but I really try to show my humorous and fun side to those I meet. I embarrass myself and make fun of myself just to make others laugh.

What is you afraid of? Killing someone... again.

Where would you fall on a politeness/rudeness scale? I can’t remember the last time I was rude, so I’d say I’m pretty high on the polite scale.

If you could choose a different identity, who would you pick? I’d want to be one of the Marvel characters. I don’t even care which one. Actually, I do. I want to be Spiderman.

In what or whom is your greatest faith in? The Rising Power.

What was the best thing in your life? I had nothing good at all in my life before Lake Grimstone. I had video games... until my mom took them away. I had my power... but I wasn’t allowed to use it. I now have Anika and Gabriel, and those two are the best things in my life right now. 

What was the worst thing in your life? You’d think I’d say the constant bullying I went through as a kid, all the way up until I was eighteen. But... The worst thing was my mom and dad ignoring me. My dad not being home and my mom not believing anything I told her about what was happening at school. When you don’t have someone that believes or supports you... it’s really hard to get through life.

What is your biggest nightmare? That I will snap and kill someone again. Or... or that I’ll do it willingly, but without reason.

What seemingly insignificant memories stuck with you? The long hours of staring at my first action figure on my book shelf.

What is your secret wish? I want to have a supportive and loving wife and I want to have kids. I want the family that I never got to have as a kid.

What is your greatest achievement? I don’t have any.

What is your deepest regret? Killing one of the kids that bullied me.

What is your deepest disappointment? My parents and myself.
