I come down the stairs to reveal a “Happy 15th Birthday Lucy” sign that was up across the kitchen entrance. When I walk to our big, and round circular table that Robert and my dad was sitting. Should I tell him about our super powers?

    “Hey guys,”

    “Happy birthday sis. I made them myself, well I helped.”

    “Thank you Robbie.”

    I look down to see to my surprise that there are purple pancakes that look like a small but few birthday cakes. They looked good I’m not going to lie, but my little brother made them. Should I be skeptical? Nah. I’m sure dad wouldn’t let him put anything obscure in there. Or would he? I shake my head at the thought and focused on the situation I am about to bring up.

    “Dad there is something that I should tell you. It’s about Robbie and I.”

    II look at him as he nodded, and I take a deep breath. Okay. Let’s get this thing done and over with. He looks so happy without knowing that we have superpowers.

    “Robbie and I have Superpowers.”

    “Are you sure sweetheart?”

    “No joke dad. Why would I lie?”

    I looked over at Robert who was staring at my dad, and my dad was staring at me in utter shock. I gave Robert the go ahead and tell him the story look and make him believe through our words. If we have to. We will show him, but only inside the house which would be difficult for me.

    “Yeah dad it was totally awesome because when we both got in her ‘layer’ and we were surrounded by weird soldiers. They seemed to be aliens mixed with being humans or animals. If you tried escaping you couldn’t their grasp was too tight, and then she put us in the weapon room to tidy it up when we really just escaped with the old sheets that were there. We would knot the sheet and that’s when Lucy found out she could fly, and I have super speed!” Said Robert.

    Holy crap. Robert made our dad believe in him; believe in us! Oh the look on his face is awesome. We didn’t have to show any evidence that we owned those powers. Then Robert got up, and walked all around the house trying to find something.

    “Robbie, what are you trying to find?”

    “Only my favorite food ever.”

    “We don’t have any popcorn.”

    “Damn. Well, guess I’ll be on my way to the grocery store to get some popcorn.”

    “Don’t get lost kido. Why don’t you go with your sister?”

    “Dad why did you marry mom?”
