Dr. Levander bangs on the door.
“You two sit tight while we go check the breakers,” He tells them without even going in to check on them.
Tucker’s eyes are pressed closed from the pain. He can sense a light so he opens them and turns to Chris. Their body is illuminated as if electricity has replaced their veins. Each time they breathe the current pulses. Chris is looking down at their electrified body in shock.
“Does it hurt?” Tucker asks once he can get the words out.
Chris shakes their head before turning to their friend. They both reach their fingers out, even though they are too far to reach each other, and a string of electricity shoots from the outlet between them and to their fingers. They jump because it frightened them, but it didn’t hurt at all. Tucker puts his finger out again, holding it there and the string remains held by his finger. He slowly puts out his other four fingers as a string of blue energy attaches to each one.
“Dude that is the coolest thing ever!” Chris gushes as they try to recover from the pain. Their body, the primary light source in the room as of now, turns a brighter shade if blueish-white as they get excited.
“Right back at you glow stick,” Tucker replies while wiggling his fingers around.
He balls his hand into a fist, letting the energy strands touch his palm, before disappearing.
“Tucker!” Chris shouts to the empty bed that just contained their best friend.
He looks up about 15 seconds later at the main part of the church that he and his friend had walked through about an hour before. Tucker's arms wobble was he props himself up. His body feels like jello as he begins to comprehend what had just happened. He hastily puts his fingers out allowing the outlet he had just come through to shoot those little electric lines to his fingers again. Tucker holds his breath as he squeezes the current and he is sucked back through the outlet. He slides onto the floor of the room that he was previously in. He flips to his back so that he is facing Chris, whose body has stopped glowing.
“Bro you messed up my flow. I was doing the finger thingy you did and you messed it up with your dude body,” Chris whines.
“I just flew into and out of an outlet and you are upset because I messed up your trick?” Tucker shouts.
“Oh, right yeah. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?” Chris shouts to their friend.
“My whole body just turned into electricity and I traveled right upstairs to the main part of the church! It was so weird and my body still tingles,” Tucker explains as he gets up to unstrap his friend. “How did you turn off your electric veins?”
“I honestly have no idea. You left and I was alone, then my body went out and I was alone in the dark. I tried turning it back on but it wasn’t working, so I just tried out the finger strand thing,” Chris replies as they hop down from the bed.
The two of them dash out of the room. The church lights flicker back on and so they make a run for the stairs. They burst through the main doors and sprint down the street. Dr. Levander and Dr. Trillian shout after them, but they are long gone.
