A power for yourself, or normalacy?
John Agile Acrobat
"All right," John said casually. "I was hoping no one figured out that I wasn't a normal, so you lot are that first to know. Besides your powers are kinda flashy and mine are kinda boring"
"So you do have powers." Marie said, trying to tamper back her excitement.
"Not powers, so to speak. I class it as an ability" John corrected, stripping down to her underwear and stockings. "This isn't something I can turn on and off."
Lisa smirked. "So your ability requires you to get naked?"
"No, but it does give you a better idea of what I can do, since most of my clothes are weighted to give the illusion of me being a normal weight."
Marie frowned as she tried to puzzle it out. "You're lighter than the average person?"
"Much." John replied. "Hold your hands at about waist level and I'll show you."
Marie looked puzzled but positioned her hands anyway. Much to her surprise John gave a little jump, shot up to bounce solidly off the ceiling, and dropped down to land neatly on her upturned palm.
It took another few seconds that her friend was upside down and balancing on the tips of her middle fingers alone. Marie gave a few experimental lifts to understand just how little the older Doe weighed. "I've got enhanced reflexes and agility, and my smaller lighter body mass is made for speed and evasion."
"You are flexible then?" Laura purred.
John gave the slightest of leaps and landed, still upside down with her hands braced on Laura's shoulders. "Quite flexible, I assure you." She whispered before bestowing a toe curling kiss on the quiet bibliophile.
“Oh ma cheri, you are a wicked tease.” Laura purred as John popped lithely from her perch with an athletic little twist to land on the floor.
“It’s only a tease if I don’t make good on it my dear.” The Doe girl said, redressing reluctantly after enjoying her new found power. “Consider it a down payment.”
“I always collect on what I’m owed.” Laura promised with a grin as John shrugged her shirt back on with a grimace.
“Back to the normal drag.” She muttered.
“I thought you wanted to be normal?” Lisa said.
“No, I don’t mind the way I am, but I’m one of the few abnormals in the world who can play the role. But after the freedom of twisting and tumbling like that, weighing myself down again- both literally and figuratively- is a real drag.” John blew out a breath. “So! We’re ditching school, remember! Where are we going?”
The others talked among themselves before a consensus was reached.
Where are we heading?
