“Are you sure I have to do this?” “Yes. The fastest way for you to learn your power is to discover the source.” “But do I have to take all my clothes off ?” Calvin smirked. “You can leave your underwear.” “Gee. Thanks.” If he was messing with me, it didn’t show. Much. I rolled my eyes and kicked free of my shoes, yanked my vest and shirt off, and did the rest before I could lose my nerve. At least I’d put on clean underwear before I left the house and got caught in a downpour. I rubbed at the goose pimples on my arms and hopped from foot to foot. “It’s kinda cold in here. Is that fireball of yours hot?” “Not especially. But if you’d like, I can set your pants on fire.” I glared at him. “All right. What am I supposed to do?” “Lie down.” “On this rock?” “Unless you’d prefer lying outside in the mud.” Fantastic choices. Groaning, I lowered myself to the ground and stretched out flat on my back. Cold stone nipped my flesh and sent prickles through my limbs.
