Uncle Gondor said her elent is space, and she has a sort of split dentia in her body allowing her to stash things for her to use later. But later when I asked her, she told she would sotis hide bread or water, then she could remove them to consu them. Then doesn't that an it is an active ability? Miles thought in his heart.
I am not sure either. There are special abilities I cannot copy even after I copy the main superpower, such as Fathers superpower sense. Father in a range, can sense a persons elent, which I dont have even after I copy his powers. So, when I asked father after we ca from the hospital, he said Rayens powers are indeed the space elent, but the feeling she gave father, similar to mothers. So I am almost positive Rayen has a passive ability as well. rlin explained.
The things rlin explained helped Miles understand many new things. He always knew his father could feel others powers, but he didnt know it was an extra ability to his superpowers. He also didnt know about active and passive abilities. Only now Miles realized superpowers werent as simple as they seed. His desire to awaken his abilities increased once again.
Rayen listened to their conversation from the side and didnt disrupt them. She listened and tried to understand, but there were many things she couldnt comprehend. But since Miles didnt say anything, she didnt have any reason to reject either.
She didnt know why, but ever since Miles was running with everything he had to save her, and fight with the cops who used to torture her, she knew she could trust that person. What else could she do? She didnt have anywhere else to go and didnt want to fall into the sa trap twice. So, instead of choosing not-looking-so-trustworthy-rlin, she chose Miles instead.
She just wanted to trust her guts and hope for a better life. Maybe, maybe this ti she could have a life she could call normal.
She turned and nodded at rlin without any emotion on her face. More likely she didnt know what emotion she should be wearing in such a situation. Was she exchanging her ability with the wristwatch rlin gave her? Or was she doing him a favor? It sounded like it was sothing big for rlin, so she should be doing him a huge favor, but rlin saved her and other children with Miles after all, so could she say she ca off worse? She doubted.
rlin, when he saw the nod, smiled brightly and approached her. I have to be in physical contact with you for about five minutes. I can either hold your hand, arm or forehead. Wherever is most comfortable for you. He said, trying not to scare her.
He was excited. If he could gain another passive ability, it would increase his total strength exponentially. He got only a few passive abilities so far because they were so rare, and not all passive abilities could be copied, so rlin was hopeful in this one. After all, even his father said there was a high chance he could get another one.
Rayen didnt say anything more and reached out her delicate hand. She was held captive, but she wasnt doing any chores, so her hands were still unblemished. She closed her hand and reached out her fist, so rlin nodded and fist-bumped as well. All they have to do is stay in this position for a while, then he would copy Rayens power.
Miles has seen rlins power before, so he wasn't a stranger to it. The process itself was boring, but this ti anticipation was higher than the other tis. The last ti he was this excited was when rlin tried to copy Marcelas power. It was when Marcela first awakened, and rlin wanted to see for himself. But after waiting for thirty minutes, nothing happened. rlin couldnt copy Marcelas powers.
Similarly, Marcela couldnt rge rlins powers with any other. Their powers canceled out each other. Marcela even used to mock Miles, saying Miles was better than both her and rlin, and he inherited both of their powers. But unluckily, two powers canceled each other, so Miles couldnt use either of them. Then she would laugh hysterically. Miles had to admit that the joke was funny, but after hearing it hundreds of tis, it beca irritating instead.
That is why Miles would spend most of his ti with his mother either in her lab in the mansion or in the army building. Marcela wasnt very bright when it ca to the subject required thinking, so she wouldnt go to those places. Miles found asylum in science. Marcelas bullying went psychical after so ti, and Miles couldnt even defend himself. Miles's only option at those tis was to hide. It got only better when Marcela reached the age to enter Portal World.
But rcer dawned upon him at those tis. His grandfather wanted to clean away their sha, also known as Oafish Miles, and didnt take no, or grandpa leave alone or Cruel Heart you do not scare ! for an answer.
rcer at first wanted to use an experintal drug on him to strain his genes so he could awaken. Miles of course would like to try if the drug was sensible, after all, he was even endangering his life by consuming Strengthening Serums. The reason why Miles hellbent to not accept the drug was, the only outco was death.
rcer said the reason for failure was because test subjects were weak and Miles, as his flesh and blood, would definitely survive. rcer adhered to his ideals, but Miles rejected them profusely. Luckily, Evelyn was a woman of science, and with the help of Uncle Adam, they talked him out of it. After that, rcer wanted to train Miles in martial arts. He wanted Miles to be capable enough to not sha him, so when he was sent to the Police, he wouldnt bring sha to their last na. It was the last drop for Miles, and he left the family not long after.
Miles sighed when he recalled those days. It has been almost a year, and he is a lot stronger now. He also experienced a lot of things. He ca face to face with a monster from B-Circle, maybe higher, and learned a technique from it. Who else could do what he did?
Miles looked at the duo, who had almost finished. It has been more than five minutes, which was a good sign for rlin. If the copying was longer, it ant the thing he was taking wasnt only a superpower. It was the sa when he copied their mothers ability. At the ti Miles didn't know the reason, but now he realized why.
rlin opened his eyes, after seven minutes. His eyes shone brilliantly, and from his smile, Miles could say the thing he acquired was sothing remarkable. rlin looked at Rayen and his eyes were a little bit scary. Rayen broke the contact and ca behind Miles. rlin, on the other hand, was so excited, he didnt realize he just spooked the little girl. If he knew, he would be ashad because of the misunderstanding.
