The wind was howling and the rain was pouring from the sky in sheets, making it very difficult to see. Chen stood in the middle of this storm and breathed in the clean, charged air. He could already feel his powers sky-rocketing. The blinding rays of light flickered in his palms and he laughed, exhilarated. He sent a jolt of bundled energy into the sky where it erupted into an array of lightning. He whirled around when he heard a stick break somewhere behind him and out of the bushes stepped a girl. She must've been around his age, her hair was a wet mess, hanging into her face, but he could tell that she was very pretty. 

"What are you doing here?" He growled and the crackling sparks of lightning lick up his arms. She shivered and stepped up to him. 

"Help me." she whispered and suddenly he saw the lightning in her eyes. She was like him. She started breathing heavily  and doubled over, but he reached out and pulled her back up; she flinched when the lightning that was still swirling around his arms, hit her skin but nothing happened. The storm was still whirling around them when Chen leaned down and looked into her eyes.

"I'm Chen." She smiled and he took her hands in his, spreading her fingers so the palms of their hands were pressed against each other. 
"Just breathe." He whispered and closed his eyes, soon enough he felt her calm down and the power in her palms started to hiss and crack, sending sparks into every direction. When he opened his eyes he stared into hers that had now turned a ghostly silver. She tilted her head back and let the rain drench her face. Chen continued to stare at her in awe, when she looked back at him and then their hands. She pulled away and stared at her palms, lightning licked at the inside of her palms and slowly up her arms. Looking at him for guidance, Chen raised a hand up above his head and sent another bout of lightning through the sky; the girl copied him. 

"How did you get the power?" He whispered, but she only shrugged and giggled as the lightning touched her cheek.

"It tickles." She whispered and suddenly hugged him. Chen closed his arms around her and wondered. He wondered how this innocent girl had ended up with a power as destructive as his and the fate of a lone walker. She was just like him but so different. 

"I'm _______ by the way. Thank you." Rain was dripping down her face and into her mouth when she smiled. She leaned up and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek, which heated up immediately despite the rain and wind. Her hair was stuck to her face and neck and Chen knew his didn't look any better.

"Why don't you come with me? We can get dry and warm and you can meet my brothers." He smiled and was surprised when she nodded.

"How many d'you have?" She asked as they started to leave the park. 

"11." The rain had lessened and the wind was calming down.

"11! Omo, that is a lot-" Her voice got lost in the sound of the awakening city and by the time they'd made it to the boys' house, the sky was a brilliant blue and the sun was shining as if nothing had happened.
