I was lucky to have found two people who trusted me, and was starting to get used to the situation when a voice rang in my head. "What the heck, i'm like a magnet for everything strange."

I followed the other two down the abandoned street. We had a hard time moving around as we had to avoid the invaders as well as soldiers who would mistake me as an enemy.

"So it seems there are quite a few people popping up with powers since the aliens landed. How are we supposed to find the others though when we have to keep hiding?"
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Re: The Galactic Invasion

Mr. Awesome
I ran down the building figuring that it was safe to come out and that the mirror wasn't working. I decided to train my power and found out that I could morph sand into glass and back. So I ran over to an abandoned consturction yard a block away and found a whole lot of sand there. There I found a big wooden container to put the sand in and a leather strap to strap it to my back like a backpack. I started to walk with my new sand pack thing so that I wouldn't run out of glass any time soon and oddly enough it was pretty light compared to a sandbag.

I saw that there were scorch marks on the streets across from me and I ran over to check them out.

'What is with all the fire today?" I thought to myself,

I hate squirrels.

It's a rather recent hate, but still a furiously burning one. Why, you may ask? It's because they decided to attack me.

I figure it has to do something with the aliens. Nothing else I could think of would give you winged attack squirrels.

The first squirrel in question was staring at me with a hungry expression, it's leathery wings flexing slightly. Then with a chitter, it leap at my face. I responded with my usual tact and composure.

"GETITOFFGETTITOFF!" I screamed as I flailed around. With a lucky swing, I managed to knock it back.

Then several others appeared and began chittering viciously.

"Why me?"

Sigh, the last few days had been hectic. When we were evacuated some aliens attacked and I ended up having to run off.

It began when we started. The army was leading us to safety in groups, then things went bad. As the aliens rushed towards us we scattered, as far as I can tell they all headed off in a different direction. I sprinted down an ally and had the fortune to be chased by five darmanite soldiers. Lucky me.

As expected they shot at me, narrowly missing until I turned around. I used what control of my power I had to send off the energy in a thick stream. As it moved towards them their shots began to slow until the force of the current became too much and they went backwards.

The darmanites were slammed into a wall and the cement seemed to press in slightly under the force of my attack. I twisted my hand and the flow shifted so that it pressed at angles against their joints. With a slow snapping sound they cried out in pain as I caused every joint in their body to twist and break away, silencing them when their neck broke.

I walked away, determined to find shelter.

Re: The Galactic Invasion

I started to see some flames and ran over to where it was coming from. I see many ants spitting fire at a person with a music player playing dubstep. The weird thing about it was that there was an energy shield between the ants and person. I wasn't surprised by the shield via all of the weird things happening post-invasion. Out of heroism, I tranformed some of the sand from my sand-pack to glass and used it to slice each and every individual ant in the colony. I walked over to the dubstep-liking person and tapped on the shield saying,
"The ants are gone now, you can put down the shield."

The squirrels kept coming, it seemed that the first had let out some sort of hunting call. I swatted them as best as I could with my new strength but there was always one waiting to take a bite of me. We fought for a few moments, until the fire guy panicked. The area began to heat up around us, and the squirrels began to back off, but he didn't stop. Me and GD barely made it behind cover before he released a wave of flame that still slightly burned us.

Ooops.

I thought as I saw a surge of heat turn to flame. Lost my cool there... Wait, am I punning like someone in a comic book now?

I took a deep breath and tried very hard to find my happy calm place.

..Which is when one of the squirrels bite me. This brave, or stupid, squirrel promptly burst into flames as my pain took on a more physical form.

I tried to move away from the others, who were looking very uncomfortable due to the rising temperature.

"Yup, I just found out an hour ago that I can manipulate glass."

"Hey, did you get that message in your head from some guy telling you to go meet up with other people like us?"

I follow and say,
"Yeah, I don't have a girlfriend yet which I doubt will just come out of the blue in this invasion, barely have a family, my friends are distant and I almost got robbed."

"Don't worry, I get it entirely."

I start to walk over to the door of the gas station and say,

"I'm goin' to get a drink, you want anything?"
