"so I just have one question?"....
Esteban asked.
"What's up?".....Merlyn answered, still in her frostbite suit.
"Does Jack also have powers?".....Cameron interrupted.
"Rude much".....
"Nahhh, He's just a regular person"...she chuckled softly.
"so how did you get your powers?"...Esteban continued.
"well my uncle is a scientist. I went into his lab and got shot by accident with a weird looking injection and poof.... I became frostbite"....
"Whoa".....
"whoa".....
"How did you guys get your own powers?"...she continued.
Esteban gave a quick laugh.
"Our Dad's from another planet".....
"whoa, really?"....
"yep"...Cameron added.
"So you guys are like mix breeds of Alien and human?"....
"Yep".....
"Yep"...
"I bet I look cooler to you now Merlyn"...Cameroon raised his eyebrows at her.
"Quit it while you can Cameron, While your dignity still lives"...His brother teased him.
"I joined a superhero secret society called the Junior Hero force. whenever the Hero league isn't aware or is too busy to handle a crime, we take care of it"...
"So you mean you joined a league of sidekicks?"...Cameron laughed, triggering Esteban to laugh along with him.
"No, It's a secret Team of undercover teen Superheroes"...
she stood up for herself, a bit embarrassed at thier joke.
"So what's this got to do with__"..
...
"shhhhhhhhh"....Esteban interrupted.
"What's up Esteban?"....
Cameron asked .
He stared at the roof, his eyes looking round suspiciously.
"What's going on Esteban?"...
Merlyn asked worriedly.
"Aida recorded everything we just said".....he whispered.
"How do you know?".....Merlyn whispered back.
"I felt it"....
"Do not Whisper, I have already Recorded everything and I am going to show it all to Agent Charlotte ".....
a robotic voice scared them.
"What was that?".....Merlyn asked.
" it's Aida, our home Ai system, security Camera and Digital Blabbermouth".....
"Aida, did you hear everything we said?"...Esteban talked slowly.
"I heard it, Recorded it and saved it in my memory drive".....she replied.
"We're further doomed"...
Cameron panicked.
"Aida, if you tell mum anything, I will wipe your Memory with my Technopathy"...
"Is that a threat?____".....
"Whoa, Esteban you have Technopathy?".....Merlyn sounded marveled.
"Yeah, I can control computers with my mind and make them damage themselves ".....he continued.
"uhhh, guys let's focus on the bigger problem here. AIDA HEARD US!!".....Cameron yelled.
"Merlyn you gotta go, if my mum finds out you know about our powers she'll be crushed"...Cameron turned to her.
"Fine. But I'll see you tomorrow right?".....she asked.
"Sure"...He blushed.
"Oh get over it"...Esteban hit the back of his head.
"ow".....
Merlyn transformed back into her normal self and the boys walked her out the door.
Cameron shut the door and rested on it.
"what do we do now?".....he asked Esteban.
"You distract Aida, I'll go look for her memory Chip and wipe out the data".....he whispered.
" I heard you ".....Aida said, scaring the two boys.
"Ahhhh".....
"Ahhhhh".....They jumped in fear .
"What do we do now?".....Cameron asked.
"Its funny merlyn knows and now Mum's gonna know. ".....Esteban sighed.
"Isn't she cool?"...Cameron stared at the roof blushing to himself as though he was day dreaming.
"You mean Merlyn?".....
"Yeah. Her having powers makes her so much cooler".....he continued daydreaming.
Esteban thumbed his forehead.
"Focus Dude"....
"yeah, yeah, yeah".....Cameron came back to his senses.
"Lets go pack our bags".....Esteban sounded down all of a sudden.
"Why?".....
"CAUSE WHEN MUM COMES HOME AND AIDA TELLS ON US, WE WOULD BE DEAD SO WHY NOT FLEE TO AFRICA FOR SOMETIME AND FEEL THE BREEZE!!"...He raised his voice, Not in an argumentative way.
"Why don't we appease Aida and see if she'll budge"...Cameron suggested.
"I do not have emotions"....Aida interrupted.
"well duhhh "...
"Esteban!"...
"Fine Aida. we're really sorry. please don't tell mum . How would you feel, if we told your mother board about something you know would break her heart?"...
Esteban spoke nicely.
"Calculating speed and time at which Agent Charlotte shall arrive at doorstep"...she changed the topic.
"Aproximately, 2 seconds"...
she continued.
"2 seconds, what do you___"....
The doorbell rang, startling the two boys.
"Ahhhhh".....They both panicked.
Cameron checked the peephole.
"It's mum".....his voice shaked.
"opening door".....Aida said.
"No no no no"...Esteban panicked.
"what do we do?"...
" RUN!"...Esteban screamed. the two boys ran into thier room, leaving Charlotte startled at the sight of the empty living room.
"Aida, what's up?".....she asked, flinging her purse unto the couch.
"my System upgrade is complete and my glitch has been corrected by the antivirus"...she replied.
the two boys peeped from thier room at thier mum in the kitchen.
"Are the boys home?"...she asked.
"Yes. they are in thier room".....
"Boys! I'm home"....she yelled out to them.
They walked slowly to her. thier hearts pounding. a Scared expression on thier faces.
"Hey mum"...
"Hey mum".....they spoke slowly.
"Hey".....she looked at them. suspicious at thier quiet behaviour.
"is everything okay?".....she asked.
"Everything is fine...it's not like we told anyone about anything"... Esteban smiled awkwardly.
"why are you talking and smiling like that?"...she turned to face them. A serious look growing on her face.
"They did something they weren't supposed to do"...Aida spoke out.
The boys trembled.
"oh no"...Cameron said under his breath.
"She's gonna tell on us"....
"Boys, what did you commit this time?"....she looked serious.
"uh...um...uh.....we um....uh"..
.....Cameron stuttered.
"mum we __"...
"They let a stranger into the house Agent Charlotte"...Aida interrupted.
"Is that why you both look like you killed someone?".....Charlotte smiled.
They chuckled anxiously at her.
"It's okay guys, as long as the stranger doesn't know you have powers,that's fine. you guys can handle yourself so I'm not worried.".....she patted Esteban on the shoulders and walked out on the boys.
"And I got you guys something "....she yelled from inside.
"Thanks mum".....
"Thanks mum"...They echoed.
"phew" ...Cameron let out a relieved sigh the moment Charlotte went in.
he turned to see Esteban hugging the wall and smiling.
"Thanks Aida for not telling us out"....he sounded like he was crying though he wasn't.
"Aida you saved us. Thanks ".....Cameron smiled.
"Boys!!"....Charlotte screamed from inside.
"uh oh"....Esteban exclaimed.
"What did we do now?"....
Cameron looked scared.
the two boys ran to meet thier mum who stood in the middle of thier ice frozen bedroom.
"Why is this place solid ice?"...
she asked.
The two boys had forgotten to thaw out the place.
"uhhhhhhh".....Cameron stood speechless.
Esteban fell to the floor, pretending to pass out.
Charlotte rolled her eyes. Not buying any of the pretense.
"Esteban get up, I know you didn't pass out"....
He sighed and rose to his feet. bowing his head in embarrassment.
"somebody start talking"..... she stared at the both of them.
Cameron chuckled anxiously.
"would you believe me if I said, Santa came early ?"...
"oh really he did?"...she sounded sarcastic.
"You believe him?"...Esteban raised his tone a bit in unbelief.
"of course Not!!, somebody talk now!"...
The two boys stood speechless, staring at thier mum, who stared back at them, waiting for an answer.
