A Powerless FanFiction

Kai

 I watched in shock as Makoto stared unphased as he watched Blaire bleed out slowly with just a small smirk. I feel around me trying to feel his ability pick up off of it. But I didn't feel anything, why was that? Just like I felt with Pae, but then why was he able to use Blaire's ability against her? I look around and people look shaken, broken, and traumatized. Serena has this haunted look. Andy keeps almost shifting from animal to animal out of fear, just barely keeping control as she clings to Jax. Jax seems unfazed just sitting there comforting Andy. Then there are the illusionists who look horrified in pure shock.

I chuckle at the sight. "Don't worry, my problems are not with you," I say bluntly, waving them off. They leave the cave, that we were all trapped in. When I had broken the illusions it had been late afternoon, so we have to wait until tomorrow morning before we are let out of this damn place.

I sit against the wall leaning my head back running my hands through my hair and sighing. I was just so done. Of all of this, the trials, my brother, the kingdom. Some days I just wanted to pick Pae up and travel to a neighboring kingdom to get away from the madness. But by this point I knew I couldn't, she wouldn't be able to make the journey and neither would our little one. I don't know how long I sat there just decompressing, I had seen more than just my father, over the course of these past two days, I also saw Pae being forced to marry Kitt, I also saw her dying in labor, along with her losing the baby in labor. To say I was shaken was an understatement, and I know it was all just an illusion, but it was going to take a lot for me to move past what I saw. But on the bright side, it is a great excuse to be able to get Pae to cuddle up with me. Granted she would see my mask a mile away even if it wasn't cracked.

While I wasn't paying attention Jax came to sit next to me. "Bro you good?" he asks me

"Could be better, been through worse though," I reply bluntly. "You?"

"I think so, what I saw was a lot, but nothing that affected me emotionally. Although that's the bright side of Kitt not knowing me very well anymore." He replies.

"What do you mean?" I ask. I don't know why I assumed, but I always thought that Kitt and Jax were still close.

"After he became king, he wasn't the same, which you know. I tried to see the old him, but he just wasn't there, he barely even talked to me anymore. Just sends me on errands, most of which include finding you." He replied.

It made sense, Kitt had blocked everyone out when he took on the role our father once held. So it made sense that his relationship with Jax was never the same again like it was with mine.

"Hey you've spent more time around Makoto than I have, what's his abilities?"

"Why, aren't you able to tell?" he asks me

"No, I can't get read on him," I reply. "And he's not ordinary considering he launched that branch through the air like Blaire did to Adena." I paused, the thought idea was probably impossible, yet the thought still crossed my mind, and there was truly no other explanation. "What if he's a wielder?" I question.

"Kai that's impossible you are the first elite to ever have that ability, the prospect of being in the same room as another is nearly impossible." He retorts.

"But Jax think about it, I can't pick up on his powers, and yet we watch him as he takes out vengeance on Blaire for killing Adena."

"You two can stop talking about me, I can hear every word you know." He says from the other side of the cave.

I look at him in shock. I feel the abilities around me and realize that there is a hyper nearby, probably just outside the cave entrance to overhear our conversations.

"You are a wielder aren't you?" I say at just above a whisper.

"Yes, but what does it matter to you? I have no desire to be your threat, I would only kill you if I had to return the favor. Blaire owed me that favor when she killed Dena, you have done nothing to me so far." He replies.

He may be more of an ally than I had realized in these trials.

Soon day breaks and a few imperials come to retrieve us. I exit the cave feeling true sunlight on my skin for the first time in days. But nothing outshines the sight that I see next, Pae standing there just past the imperials, her hands resting against her stomach. In moments I have run to her wrapping my arms around her in a tight hug.

"I missed you," I mutter into the nook in her shoulder.

"And I'm glad that you're okay." She says to me with a smile taking my face in her hands before giving me a gentle kiss.

The first trial was over, and I survived, but there was only a matter of time before the next one comes, and that can only mean more terrors await me.
