Not what it seems in Lima

Found out

I do not own glee or any of its characters, only my own OC's Johnathan and Elijah. I'm not getting profit from this story it's purely for entertainment.

Rachel's POV

After class I bolt out the classroom my nerves having skyrocketed during class at the hushed whispers of the cheerleaders reaching my newly sensitive ears. Questions of my slightly erratic behavior and newly calm facade and flirty attitude raising more questions in their talk.

I hear them hurriedly grab their bags as they race out after me their calls for me going ignored as I gently push past students trying hard not to hurt anyone with my untrained added strength. Kids in the halls started to part out my way as I run down the hallway. 

I come to a screeching halt as Coach walks in front of me, her eyes seemingly staring into my soul. "Hope you weren't trying to leave school grounds and avoid practice later Streisand Jr"

My mouth dumbly moves and down silently as words escape me at the random accusation, but it seems to do the trick as I feel calmer. The cheerleaders that had been on my tail reach us, Santana and Quinn standing on either side of me as they glance at the coach before a gently clearing of a throat sounds out.

Letting my calm nature slide back over my face I let out a amused scoff "well that wouldn't be a worry if you would stop forcing me to join your squad" my words brazen for who I'm speaking too. My newly friendly classmates seem to think so to as they let out a soft gasp respectively

"You got ballsy over the summer Berry, I like it! But your still on the squad so you better be there or I'll hang you by your fingertips and let the girls climb you for the pyramid"

Her face blank before she turns on her heels and march's off, the words making my face scrunch in confusion before the two girls beside me swirl and stand in front. " no way you didn't hear us calling you Rachel Berry" Santana Seeths out her arms crossed as she taps her right foot

"Sorry ladies I was caught up in my head, and while I'd love to chat we have a club to get too." As she goes to respond I reach down and grab her hand uncrossing her arms as I do my thumb gently and hesitantly stroking the back of her hand. "We can talk on the way?" I offer despite every part of my being wanting to do the opposite knowing I don't have any good answers. I smile a disarming smile my whole hand tingling as if I can feel hers through my glove.

She pauses glancing down at our hands before a slight blush rises to her cheeks, her eyes sliding over to her girlfriend whose hazel eyes are locked onto our hand as she gently bites her bottom lip. Quirking my eyebrow I squint my eyes and tilt my head slightly before allowing myself a peak into her head I denied myself earlier.

'She ignored both of us, why isn't she holding my hand?' Snapping myself out of head I gently shake my head before smiling again it spreading across my face a little more before I reach my other gloved hand out and grab Quinn's hand gently tugging them both along with me towards the auditorium where glee club is being held today.

Looking back over my shoulder at the quite cheerleaders as they both have a small smile on their faces neither pulling their hands from mine I chuckle as we walk "you know you have to speak if we're gonna talk, you called out to me remember?" I say smoothly my voice tinted with slight hesitation.

"We just want to talk to you more honestly, we never gave you a chance of being friends. We were too caught up in being popular and who was dating who to try to be ourselves, and we treated you horribly."

I pause for a second causing them to stop walking as our hands are still connected. "I appreciate your apology really, but it's ok honestly, I've had a lot of time to reflect this summer and even now that school has started back and what I've realized the most is this stuff doesn't matter. We will leave these halls and the person we were will change into who we become. If you both really mean it though I'd love to get to know you the real you this year. Just be patient with me? I'm learning who I really am now myself."

After I get done with my slight rant I shoot them a smile and gently pull them forwards again. "Never thought I'd see the day you weren't sure who you were Berry. You really did change this summer huh?"

I let out a soft chuckle nodding my head in agreement as we reach the auditorium doors mumbling under my breath "more than you think"

We take some seats in the third row as the remaining of the glee club members file in, Brittany and Puck walking over to sit with us. As Mr Schue gets up and starts talking about the lesson I zone out slightly my mind lingering on possible scenarios on meeting my mother when she's free. As we all get up and walk to the stage, a hear a slight creaking sound. Glancing around I look up at the ceiling noticing one of the rafters keeping the lights up rusted over.

I shoot looks at my club members none of them aware of the potential danger as they all watch Mr Schue. Deciding to keep an ear on it I follow along to his dance moves slowly before getting distracted again as the creaking gets louder. That grabs everyone's attention as they all look up.

It happens faster than they can process but for me it's like time slowed to a halt as I watch as the rafter breaks the rusted metal giving out. My eyes widen for a fraction of a second as it hurtles down towards Puck who stands underneath it frozen for a little too long. Huffing out a breath at the risk I'm taking I speed closer to him faster than anyone can detect and tackle him to the ground my super strength allowing me to knock him out the way as it crashes beside us landing where he was just standing. Time catches back up as everyone snaps out of their shocked stance rushing towards us.

They lift us the guys grabbing puck and the girls grabbing me from above home. Mr Schue hastily asking if we're ok, I nod clenching my fist as I feel energy trying to expel from my hands my adrenaline making my powers flare up. I look at Puck to see if he's ok but his eyes are locked on my fist. Glancing down I see them glow purple slightly from the effort of containing my outburst. Nobody else notices as I look around all of them as they still hover over us their voices overlapping. His eyes shoot up to me as mine widen in panic. Before I can bolt he speaks up over everyone.

"Relax I'm fine, but I'm gonna take Rachel to the nurse just incase. She's tiny after all" his joke and calm look just barely keeping me rooted to the ground. I look over to the three cheerleaders who look ready to protest before Mr Schue agrees and Puck grabs my elbow dragging me out the room.

He hurriedly looks around the hallway before pulling me into an empty classroom. The moment he locks the door I open my palms. My gloves glowing bright purple before lighting sparks from my fingers slightly as I inhale deeply. Taking several large breaths as it continues to pop off randomly before slowing, the glowing gently fading away.

"Ok so what the hell is that?" Puck ask his voice holding curiosity. This is not good.
