relaxed and sat back. “What are you doing out here?”
    “Probably the same thing as you,” Selena said. She stopped in front of me, getting down on one knee to rest.
    “Want my seat?” I asked.
    “It doesn’t look like much of one,” she said with a smirk. “Keep it, you earned it today.”
    I smiled and sat back. “Out here looking for Samantha?”
    Selena nodded. “Yeah, or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. Really it’s nice to just get out and be on my own. That house can get a little small sometimes.”
    I nodded. “It’s pretty nice out here. A great place to think.”
    “That’s for sure. I was flying over to the place I normally go to when I saw a blue light down here. Figured it was you, but just wanted to swing by to be sure.”
    “Yep, it’s just me.”
    We sat in silence for a few moments, our minds wandering off. “Do you think we could rescue my parents?” I asked before I even knew what I was saying.
    Selena looked up at me. She paused for a few moments, going over the possibilities in her mind. “Well, if anyone could do it, I think we could. I’m not sure why, though.”
    “Why not?” I asked sitting up, agitated with her response.
    “I think they’re safe where they are. I mean, you had to defend two different communities today from attacks by Supers. It’s getting crazier and crazier out here by the day. No one knows exactly where the STF bases are. Besides, the STF’s goal is to keep humans safe.” Selena stood from the ground and shrugged. “I think your parents are going to be perfectly fine.” She brushed the dirt from her jeans and stood up straight. She began floating in the air up towards the tree line. “I’m gonna go look around. Try and get some rest though, Kane. You could use it.” With that, she turned and flew into the night sky, the trees bending as the wind from her flight brushed through them.
    I sighed and stood from the tree. My eyelids were feeling quite heavy. Selena was probably right. I needed some rest. I was betting that maybe after shutting my mind off for a few hours, I’d be able to think things through much more clearly. I was feeling better about my parents at least, so that was good.
    I took off and flew towards the house that we called home. I flew right towards my bedroom window, opening it up and floating right through. I didn’t want to wake anybody up by going through the front door, which had hinges that screamed like a banshee. After switching from my jeans and t-shirt to just a pair of sweatpants, I climbed into bed, sleep finding me much easier than I’d anticipated.

    The Storm
    “ K ane !” Samantha screamed.
    My eyes shot open, and I was surrounded by white. I floated above a sea of white liquid. It rippled like the ocean, its pure white beauty stretching out as far as I could see, before disappearing into a gray fog. I looked behind me, and it was the same sight as the one in front of me. White ocean, gray fog. I looked up, and all I could see was white as far as the eye could see.
    “Kane!” I heard Samantha scream, a bit quieter this time.
    “Samantha!” I shouted. I flew towards the direction of the sound as fast as I could. The water—or whatever it was—below me shot into the sky as I flew above it fast. The fog continued to envelop me, revealing nothing new about my surroundings. I slowed down and looked around, searching for any sign of Samantha. “Can you hear me?” I shouted. “Call out again! I’ll find you!”
    “Kane!” She shouted, even quieter this time.
    I panicked as I realized I wasn’t getting closer, but had been flying further away. I flew back the way I came, forcing myself to go as fast as I could, although still being aware of my surroundings, trying to search for any sign of her. But there was nothing. I couldn’t find a single clue besides the few times she shouted my name.
    I stopped, breathing heavily not because I’d exerted myself, but because I was panicking. She was
