I stare a Kili through narrowed eyes. She is no longer giggling and is looking at me malevolently. Some how, I know that she is behind the Alura/Daemyn drunk thing. This foreboding is heightened by the fact that Alura collapses right when Kili looks at me, just as if someone has stopped influencing her. I run over to Fee and Lurie as Fee screams. I vaguely notice another person, a guy, I think, but I ignore him.
"Fee! Stop screaming. It won't help," I shout over her screams. I look at Lurie. She looks at me with confused. Before I can ask what happened, she opens her mouth and says,
"Kili. She was standing over me. Why do I remember that? Can't think, need water..." she babbles on and on, but I've heard all that I need. I wheel around and find Kili right next to me.
"What in hell did you do?" I snarl.

**FEE** I scream, the stress of out first performance and Alura collapsing adding up to too much. Zeb outs his arm around my shoulders. "Relax!" He says, and even though he smiles at me, his golden eyes are worried. I slap his hand away. "YOU, shut up!" I say, pointing a stiff finger at him. "You don't know what the situation is! You don't know what's going on! And YOU don't know who the hell I am, so go away!" He looks at me with wide eyes and starts walking away. I pace nervously while watching Nick stalk Kili, glaring at her. Just before he teleports a rock into her brain, I shout, "STOP!" They both turn and look at me. "Nick, teleport Viper here, now. And YOU." I say, turning on a glaring Kili. "YOU are absolutely ridiculous. Really? Drunk? That is so unbelievably pathetic. Now come here." She growls, but Nick teleports her so she's right in front of me. I rip off my now dirty gloves, touch the zipper on my hoodie, and slap her across the face with my metal hand. I hear something crunch, but right now I don't care. It didn't kill her, it's not my problem. She's making my life a living hell and I will not accept it. I tell her so, then hand her over to a startled Viper. "Viper, I'm sorry, but we need you for more than just an act. I need you to keep Kili in custody. I dont care bow you do it. Just do it, please." He nods, and I turn to march back to the big tent. We may be late and disorganized, but the show must go on...
I blinked in confusion. One minute I'd been talking to Hayden, then Fee screamed, someone grabbed my arm, and I was somewhere else entirely. Glancing over, I see Nick standing beside me. So they needed me for something...
Fee shoved Kili at me, who was sporting a bloody nose. "Viper, I'm sorry, but we need you for more than just an act. I need you to keep Kili in custody. I dont care bow you do it. Just do it, please."
I nodded, still a bit befuddled. As she left, I noticed Alura looking dazed on the ground and Daemyn looking extremely embarrassed and, er, naked.
"What the crap did you do?" I asked, taking her firmly by the arm and leading her to one of the other tents. I still had an act to do; it looked like I might have to incapacitate her completely so I could perform.

I was laying on the floor. Why is my throat dry? I hear screaming and Zeb's voice saying "Relax" My head hurts and I feel like I just got hit by a bus. I open my eyes at the face of Fee almost in tears and to her left Daemyn is standing,naked. I blink wondering if it's a dream. I lift my head looking at fee I began to say "Kili. She was standing over me. Why do I remember that? Can't think, need water..." Fee pats me on the back and hugs me. "Why is Daemyn naked?"I ask, Fee turns red as Nick laughs. "Kili did this didn't she!" I yell. I got up and started to make my way to where Viper was pulling her. "Viper let go of her!" He let's go. Never have I lost my temper this much. I began to run after her even though I am still running unbalanced. I took fist up to punch her when I heard Nick yell "No!" At that moment he teleported in front of me and it was him who got the blow. His nose began to bleed I covered my mouth. "Oh Nick I am so sorry!"
"Ask not what your teenager can do for you, but what you can do for your teenager."
I get to the back of the big tent, and start shouting directions at people, until Kat clamps her hand over my mouth. "Shhh!" She yells at me, pointing to a gap in the back curtain that we can see the stage through. There is Zeb, smiling at the audience, welcoming them to the Misfit Circus. I stand there, dazed. Some one has everything under control. I don't have anything to do, no one needs me, some one else is doing it all for me. I burst into tears, and sit on the dirty ground. For now I think I'll just let the night catch up to me. I really need to introduce myself to this Zeb guy when I'm not having some kind of meltdown. "And now, ladies and gents," Zeb says. "I introduce to you THE strong man, The Invincible Mikael!" Everyone applauds, and I feel a cold, hard, and amazingly reassuring hug before the crowd roars and Mikael is up.
I have moved my post earlier here for clarity, as it takes place now.
Zack, Can disperse his own particles;inhabit inanimate objects and control them
From the crowd, I watched as the teenagers performed there amazing, logic defying acts.
I had snuck into the tent using my powers, a good way to avoid paying when you don't have cash. As I watched, I realized I had found what I was looking for: more with powers like me. But before I could continue my dark plans, I had to gain there trust.
During an interesting act, I found my chance: a very obviously drunk kid began running about the stage, no clothes on at all.
No one noticed as I disappeared into thin air. No one noticed when the empty brandy bottle began to float.
The drunk kid, however, did see. After a few moments of gaping, he struggled over. I gradually led him off the stage.
Most of the crowd had filed out, but the leftovers were relived. I left the bottle and materialized again, finding to my surprise a girl beside me.
"I'm Fee. We could use people like you in our circus."
I smiled grimly. "I would be honored to join."

Fee stops me from killing Kili, which is extremely annoying. I summon Viper, make sure that Kili gets what's coming to her, and trudge towards the Big Top. I see again the unknown person. And he is announcing things the the audience. That can't be right, I think to myself. As Zanette finishes her trapeze act, I get ready for the call for the Magician. It comes, and I walk out. I perform mechanically, without emotion, trying to figure out what is going on. That's when Daemyn decides to come out. Without his clothes.

After letting Lizzie convince me to go rest in the girl's tent, I start making my way there, arm in arm with Lizzie. After she leaves the tent, assured that I will be fine, I'm just tired, I sigh and pull out my battered acoustic guitar. I write a song in less than five minutes, simply playing to let the music wash over my mind. I sigh, closing my eyes, listening to the sweet, but dark melody coming from the strings. I stop, resting my head on the body. I jump up when I hear applauding to find Zeb sitting in front of me. "Who are you?" I ask him, staring at him intently. He smiles.
I sit in the crowd of the biggest circus around. Teenagers that have powers,and can perform very cool stunts. I then thought in my head "hey i should try to join this circus because of how poorly treated i was at home". So then i sat for the rest of the show and as the performers took their bow i began my devious plans. When my parents were not looking i snuck away and using force fields, i traveled to and area where i could hide.
As i sit around in my hiding spot i sudenly feel a very cold hand grab my arm and lift me out of the box. This was one of the performers ummm nick i think was his name. I then asked him how found me and he just smiled and said" My power is to teleport, I followed you and waited for a good time to get you." I looked at him noded and said that my name was seth and my power is to create forcefields around myseld and other objects. He looked at me with a face that showed no mercie and said to me in a hard strong voince" WELL DONT JUST STAND THERE SHOW ME." I did as he asked and with a look of confidence and a pain in my head i mde the forcefield.
Zack, can disperse his own molecules; can enter and control inanimate objects
I watched a Nick, one of my newfound 'allies' at the circus, picked up another kid hiding in a box offstage and began yelling at him. I hadn't had many good impressions of Nick yet, but I could tell the anger was coming from him being on edge. He had obviously had a long day. I decided it would be fun to make it longer.
As the other kid began projecting a force field, I approached.
"Two recruits in one day, aren't you lucky," I said sarcastically. "Now you can worry about two more people trying to kill each other." Even in my brief time there, I could tell there were some big tensions amongst the Misfits.
Nick looked about to explode, but before he could answer someone shoved me to the ground.
"Kili, get your head back in the tent if you don't want me to bite you."
She scowled and got back into the tent. "I thought you were cool, Viper."
I rolled my eyes. "You were causing trouble. Fee put me in charge of you. Me being cool or not, as you put it, has nothing to do with anything. Period."
She huffed and felt the side of her face.
I winced. "Fee gave you a pretty good shiner."
