We can't live on waterbottles forever. We have to get something to eat." Des complained. He looked in the fridge once again to make sure that there wasn't anything they could eat. Nope. Only water bottles. There was a packet of sliced ham, but it was so moldly it was almot nasueous to look at. "I don't suppose you have any cash on you? He noticed Amber wasn't with him. She was outside the house smoking a cigarette leaning her back against the wall. He went outside to where she was. "We can't live like this forever. Do you have like any cash on you?"
Amber exhaled, blowing out the smoke from her mouth. "You're right, Des. But I don't have any cash on me...yet."
"What do you mean?" Des asked.
"Come on," Amber said as she led him down to the city nearby. They spotted a couple dining out at an outdoor sitting resturaunt. She thought of an idea. "Stay here." she instructed. She turned invisible and slowly crept behind the man. He was facing his date and neither he or his date seem to notice anything. Being very carefully not to get caught, Amber reached into the man's back pocket and took out his wallet. She also made sure to crouch down, so it wouldn't be suspicious if someone saw a floating wallet in midair. She took looked inside and was satisfied to see a couple hundreds in it. She took the cash and left hundred so it wasn't all gone. She carefully inserted the wallet back into the man's pocket and left.
She visible again as she approached Des.
"You can't do that! You'll be in so much trouble!" he gasped.
"But there's no other choice. I can't get a job here because we have to be on the move always!"
"I guess," Des muttered. "How much did you get?"
Amber counted the bills in her hand. "Looks like a couple hundred. five hundred to be exact." She took Des's arms and pulled him along. "Come on, let's get out of here before he notices." They hurriedly ran away from the couple. After a minute of so, they came across a McDonalds and Des started to feel hungry.
"This is probably our best option. Fast food is usually cheap so we won't lose too much cash," he said.
"You're right." Amber agreed. They went inside the McDonalds and looked at the menu, choosing what they would get. When they got to the cashier, Des ordered a big mac, small fires, and a medium sprite. Amber ordered a crispy chicken sandwhich, medium fries like Des, and a large coke. When they paid for thier food, the still had over four hundred cash left. They sat down and ate thier food. While they ate, Des asked,
"How do you even know about the BlazeCorps?"
Amber took a sip from her coke before she answered. "I actually used to work there," she shuddered at the thought. "Trust me, it's something I would do anything to forget." Her memories came flooding back to her as her mind came back to kids being tortured through expirements. Young children were the primary targets but sometimes, there were even adults who were being subjected to human expirements. Just like the children, a lot of adults didn't make it either. She began to leak tears as she continued on. "They also kidnap woman to impregnate them so they can have a child to test on and oh god..."
The entire world seemed to stop as she struggled to finish out her last words. "The ones who are born with any disorders...they...they" She nearly choked on her tears as she whispered, "had them killed. And they also killed thier mothers as well to make sure no one will know."
Des felt a dread in the pit of his stomach. they continued to eat and Amber wiped a tear from her eye. "After this, we're going to go back to that house. I'm going to try and bring a few more over here."
"alright," Des said. They finished up thier food, threw thier trash in the bin, and headed out.

Rarity had taken Berry out to the park today. She gave him a push on the swingset. Each push she recieved a giggle from him. Once he was high enough, Rarity said, "Ok, Berry I'll just be over here. Just tell me if you want to get off," She went to sit down on the bench nearby and texted her friends on what they were doing. Next to her was a man who looked like he was in his late 30s reading a book. He didn't pay any mind whatsoever. On the floor next to him was a Labradoodle in a sitting position and with a leash on.
Berry started to swing lower and lower until it had came to a complete stop. He got off the swingset and started to walk torwards Rarity. He felt something tingle up his nose and he sneezed.
"Achoo!" he quickly used his arm to cover himself.
"bless you."
"Thank you," Berry said but then he realized that voice did not sound like Rarity's at all. "wait..."
He saw the Labradoodle looking at him, and to his shock, it started talking to him!
"Well aren't you an adorable one?" the dog said. From it's voice, it sounded like a female's. "Not many little ones are as cute as you."
"You can talk?" Berry asked.
"Well not everyhuman seems to understand me. You're the second one who does. The first one was this girl at this animal shelter before I got adopted by this guy over here." She pointed her head up to her owner, who was still reading his book.
"Berry, who are you talking to?" Rarity asked him. To her (and everyone else) it looked like a 3 year old talking to a Labradoodle who was barking.
"Rarity! This dog talks!" he said excitedly.
"Well isn't that adorable?" Rarity said smiling. But in her mind, Could this be his second power?
"Quiet down now, Lola." The elderly man said as still reading his book.
"What's your name?" Berry asked the dog.
"My name's Lola. What's yours?"
"Berry," he replied. "Is there any other dogs that can talk?"
"I'm not sure," Lola replied.
The elderly man put down his book and saw Berry on the floor infront of him talking to his dog.
"Well hey there, little guy" he said in a friendly tone. Rarity came up and took Berry in her arms.
"Sorry about that, sir. He just gets a little curious, that's all."
The old man waved her off. "Ah don't sweat about it. Hey, I think you're friends with that girl from the animals shelter."
"You mean Fluttershy?" Rarity asked.
"Yes, that one!" the man confirmed. "She's the one who gave me Lola over here. I just want you to let her know that she has an amazing way with animals." he smiled. He then looked at his watch. "I hate to be rude but we got to get going. You have a nice day, Miss..."
"You can just call me Rarity." the fashionista said.
"Alright, Rarity. My name's Bryson by the way. You have a good one." He started to leave while taking Lola by the leash. "Come on, Lola. Let's go."
"You to as well." Rarity said. As soon as he left, Rarity immedialtey texted her friends about Berry's second power.
