"Titus, please go and answer the door."Titus' dad said.
Titus went to the door and opened it then his jaw dropped when he saw that tiny fire hazard and her over pampering father with her mother he already didn't like.
He was about to shut the door in their stupid faces when his mother stepped in and warmly welcomed them in.
Titus yelled at his mother telepathically,"Mom! What the heck are those jerks doing here?!"
"They were so kind as to organise a meeting to apologize for the discomfort caused and possibly mend ties with us."She said.
"More like mend their social status, these people are hypocrites! All they care about is their media following and power, they're not good in the least!"He yelled back.
"Aww, don't be like that, at least let's appreciate this gesture.."She said.
"Yes, a gesture, that is all this is, with no true good intentions!"He yelled again.
"Let's just hear them out."She said.
"Speaking telepathically, what a powerfully private skill."Alexa said.
"Private as in mind your own bee's wax."Titus said.
"Titus, be nice and yes, it is, how do you know? Do you have a light?"His mother asked.
"Oh no, but my husband does, I just know a lot about lights."She said.
"Oh really? Well that's nice."His mother said.
"Speaking about lights, I'm sorry for any trouble caused the other day by my daughter, she had no bad intentions."Alexa said.
"But she still did many bad things."Titus mumbled.
"Titus, stop."His mother said,"And sure, but I just had to ask, what light does your daughter have? She's quite powerful for her age."
"Oh, she's a Teleporter...and an H 2 Order."Alexa said.
"Two lights and I still kicked her butt."Titus said.
"That's it Titus, go to your room."His mother said.
He grumbled as he walked up the stairs then his mother said,"I apologize for my son's... abnormal behaviour he's had...bad experiences."
Alexa asked,"I'm so sorry, but what about him? What light does he have?"
She had to ask, even though she already knew the name and abilities of the extremely rare light.
"Oh I have no idea, neither does his father, we adopted him three months ago but he refused to talk about his past. I don't have a light either, his father on the other hand is a..."
His father walked down the stairs to meet them then Curtis widened his eyes, then frowned and stood up and said,"Alexa, Cathy, we better get going."
"What? Why?"Alexa asked.
"It's just running late."Curtis said.
"Yeah, listen to your husband's lies Ms Alexa, go home."Titus' father said.
Curtis's frown went deeper at the Arab man and he almost used his light but Alexa had to stop him, Titus' mother also had to restrain her husband.
Curtis walked outside the house with Catherine and Alexa and the moment the door was shut, Alexa stopped then asked Curtis,"What is going on? Why did you want us to leave all of a sudden?"
"Time was running."Curtis said.
"No it wasn't, we had only been there for like thirty seconds."Alexa said.
"No we haven't mom."Catherine said with a giggle.
"It's just...that man is bad news."Curtis said.
"And how do I know that you're not lying Curtis?"Alexa asked.
"Wait, you really don't believe me?"Curtis asked, hurt.
"Well this wouldn't be the first time you lied and will definitely not be the last."She said.
He sighed then ran his fingers through his long hair and said,"Fine, I'll tell you everything when we get home but we have to leave fast, we shouldn't have come here in the first place."
Curtis vanished with his family but in an instant before they teleported, Catherine was able to steal a glance of Titus, who was watching them from the window with a frown and she couldn't help but think of how cute he was...

"So, what is it?"Alexa asked, impatiently.
Curtis began walking paces then ran his fingers through his hair then finally looked at his wife and daughter then sighed and said,"He was my best friend, and my sister's boyfriend."
"Oh, that's..."She began.
"Until he tried to kill me."He said.
"...weird, do you know why he did that? Or at least, tried to do that?"
"No one should kill my daddy!"Catherine yelled then hugged Curtis's legs.
He smiled at her then said,"Don't worry sweetie, no one will hurt daddy with mommy around.
Catherine appeared by her mother and hugged her too then Alexa said,"Don't think this puts you in the clear."
"I know, but Catherine, do you think you can go and play with the others?"Curtis asked.
"But I don't want anyone to kill you daddy."She said, determined.
"I can't be harmed as long as this wild cat's here."He said then did a cat growl and a wink at Alexa who had to look away nervously.
Catherine nodded then vanished then Curtis walked to Alexa and told her to sit down and she didn't know why he was stalling, but obeyed.
He then said,"He also had a mission to do, our family's were having a similar goal, make their children as powerful as if not more than your brother, destroy the competition and raise children much more powerful than their parents. My parents wanted my sister to marry him to get a child with both their lights, but he found out she was from my family and wanted to as I said, ' get rid of the competition ' so he tried to kill me, despite our previous friendship."
"And how do I know you're lying?"She asked.
"Does this answer your question?"He asked.
He removed his leather jacket and his t-shirt and pulled back his hair to show a scar which looked like a large animal scratched him and was glowing in different shades of pink and purple.
Alexa gasped then said,"So you were lying!"
"What? But I..."He began.
She placed her finger on his pink lips then said,"Shh, I asked, and how do I know you're lying, and you answered me, so, you are."
"Hey!"He yelled.
He lifted her into the air as she laughed then dropped her on the bed then pinned her hands down and his hair poured smoothly to the side of her pretty face, then his expression changed and he got up then she asked what was wrong then he said,"He's a dangerous person, with the same light as Chief Nadula, you'll have to be careful."
"Aww, but no one can kill me as long as you are here, don't worry honey, I'll be fine."She said.
He smirked then pushed her again then kissed her this time...

"Mom, I think I know where an Alpha lives."Alexa said.
My mom squirted out hot light soup from her nostrils and Indigo had to help her from her torturous agony.
When she was settled down, and had learned that squirting water into your nose didn't actually relieve the burning sensation, she asked,"What? Are you sure? Those people are really rare."
Alexa nodded then said,"The boy has golden eyes and can manipulate fire, ice and even space by now."
My mom sat down, considering then asked,"Who does he live with?"
Alexa was about to speak when she gasped, Titus was in danger...
Alphas had the light of absolute dominance. They had the power to control anything they wanted, but the ease of manipulation came from the ease of manipulation of the object in a physical, chemical, spiritual or mental aspect, basically the one they wanted to control.
Alphas were the actual opposites of Real Deals.
Yes there were false opposites.
Lights acted similarly to subatomic particles, with the electron being the false opposite of the proton, but the real opposite of the positron, it was the same thing with lights.
All opposite lights with the prefix ' Anti ' before them, were basically the same, it was just a personality preference for the person to control the opposite object, they still acted as separate lights though, as having the two opposites made one's level to increase drastically.
Real Deals only imagined good things into reality, while Anti Real Deals imagined bad things, this concept could be tricked though, without the person changing their light.
If an Anti Real Deal wanted to bring a good person back to life, they could imagine the person came back deformed, or the person's resurrection resulted in a butterfly effect that caused it to rain on someone, etc.
This concept was also vice versa.
Alphas on the other hand were the real opposites of both kinds of Real Deals, with their own false opposites.
Their eye colour was gold representing the colour used to represent male authorities and kings, it could be silver as well, but this was only on women, as their authority was signified by silver.
