The terrain within the massive White House was narrow and it extended further to an end with a gigantic silver door...
"Yes I heard of the deal! I should be able to sneak out of the house by tonight..."
There was a groping silence after Tommy made that statement. He listened with interest to the person at the other end of the phone.
"Jayson's fine and yes... He doesn't have to always be around me. I'm a man for goodness sake."
A deafening silence followed after and then the silent crackle of energy which flickered into existence and then vanished without a trace.
Tommy's sighs softly, currently oblivious of the stealthed man almost 10 to 15-yards away from him.
"Ok, I'll be out by midnight today... I'd be able to bypass the guards... It's ok, I'd simply cast oblivion– they would forget what they are supposed to do for that very moment..."
Tommy seem to be coaxing someone on the phone which made Jayson feel like Tommy was cheating on him.
After the call ended, Tommy simply barged into the room with the massive silver door and closed it... That very moment, a burst of pressure erupted like a raging volcano as Jayson deactivated his stealth.
"He's going to visit some boy..."
His face was contorted in an ugly grimace. As he stared knowingly at the silver door that had just been slammed closed.
He suddenly smirked.
"Tommy, you've actually forgotten that I'm always a step ahead of you..."
"Have you really forgotten how we ended up loving each other?" His smile gradually turned into a loving smile which became intense longing.
And after that, his eyes grew frosty.
"And you want to meet up with some boy by midnight, to do what Tommy?"
His anger was almost ignited that the nearby vase crumpled a smashed unto the ground, releasing a deafening breaking sound.
Crckkkkkkk.
Jayson jumped back into stealth and the silver door opened slightly, revealing Tommy who stared strangely at the broken vase.
Tommy released a sigh.
He is trying to become a Once-return expert by tonight... And the insight he needed this time was, manifesting his pulse power.
Pulse power is interlinked with one's Mana energy. And it is almost like one's unique utility ability. An Ability that actually grants one easy access into the Once-return realm.
And Tommy's pulse power had formed. Only, it can not reach a wide range... for now, his pulse power only works on inanimate objects...
So quickly and quietly, he walked to the broken vase and used his pulse power – Time Reverse.
Immediately, a gray light surrounded him and anything inanimate that comes in contact was almost restored to it's peak state– brand new... Almost as if, it was newly bought from the superstore and reinstalled into the house.
The picture frame, the wooden tables, the marble walls and the shinny tiles... That area where Tommy was enveloped in this gray light turned brand new...
When Tommy grabbed the pieces bits of the broken vase, the other broken parts reacted and started to flow in reversal and then....
It became one vase, new and shinny.
Tommy was suddenly excited.
"I managed to last five seconds this time... This is a huge improvement."
Tommy sounded ecstatic. The normal time duration for all pulse power is thirty seconds... It lasts this amount and having five seconds to your pulse power duration is considered a big feat...
Even Jayson's pulse power is only seven seconds duration long.
Ascended can have like thirteen to fifteen seconds to use their pulse power, while Transcendents make due with 20 seconds... etc.
Tommy smiled dropping the vase on the already shinny wooden shelf as this gray energy around him dissipated into nothingness.
And slowly, he walked back into his room.
Jayson came out from stealth mode as he stared at Tommy stunned.
Is that time reversal?
Anyone with time inducing aspect is considered a god. And Tommy's pulse power is almost god-like.
How did he achieve this? Is someone teaching him and I do not know?
Jayson's curiosity strengthened that he wanted to see where Tommy heads no matter what.
. . .
At night, Tommy hugged Jon ruffling his soft Ivory hair... causing the boy to giggle.
"Jon, how was playdate today?"
Giggle, giggle.
"I... pushed... Amanda..."
Jon's words were paused as if he was struggling to making a sentence.
Tommy's mouth was agape.
"You pushed Amanda, that maniac? She deserves it!"
Tommy supported him causing Jon's ego to become solid. "Yes..."
Jon was a three-years old boy, although he knows how to talk, he was still struggling to put his sentence together, which made him always like using a word to answer a question.
Sometimes if he knows that what he was to answer is something above the three words mark, he'd simply avoid answering by saying a 'Yes' or a 'No'
Jayson immediately walked into the living room with Brenda as they discussed about something with heated ferocity.
But Jayson suddenly paused when he saw Jack, the eldest brother whisper something into Tommy's ear and Tommy flushed evidently surprised.
He turned, "I'll be right back..."
Not giving anyone a glance, he walked towards the balcony to see.
Tommy's mouth suddenly parted in shock as he stared downstairs....
Meanwhile, Jayson was unable to focus on his and Brenda's discussion after Tommy ignored his presence.
He acted as if, he was a regular person and not his boyfriend...
And even flushed at whatever his brother had whispered rather than his remarks.
For a moment, Jayson was suddenly getting jealous over Jack's closeness to Tommy.
Both Jack and Jon, both like Tommy for some reason and it pricked him.
"Talk to you later Brenda, Tommy's ignoring me..."
Brenda rolled her eyes. "Do you even need to go to him? Ignore him back, and you'll see he'd come running back to you!"
Jayson's eyes narrowed.
"Are you sure? I'm thinking he is seeing someone else."
Brenda shrugged and Jayson followed the back towards the Balcony where Tommy had disappeared into.
