Abilities

After we were settled in I stood up from the comfy couch, "Watch this.  You gotta promise not to be scared.  Deal?"


They both nodded their heads, Sarah with excitement and Miss Jenkins with uneasiness.


I called Brute over, he sat as tall as I stood.  He was a good boy but he was a sight to see.


As he sat I rubbed his throat and whispered in his ear, "Time to talk Brute boy, it's time."


The room fell quiet with excitement and nervousness until Brute told us, "I'm a talking dog now!  This is fantastic!  I heard you guys talking about pizza earlier and I'd love some but please make sure it is gluten free."


Brute was bouncing from couch to chair to wall to floor, he was going bonkers.


His voice had a British accent to it; that was very surprising. 


All jaws fell slack, just like earlier at the house, "See, I have great abilities and I'm a good person!  We are going to be a fantastic family!"


Brute continued on, "Anybody want to play fetch?  I mean, we have to wait for the pizza right?"


Sarah stood up and ran around with Brute, "How does it feel to be a talking doggo?  I bet you've got a lot to say and a lot of great stories, huh?"


Brute stopped and sat down in front of the fire place, "I do Sarah, that I do.  When I was just a pup I had a home and a best friend.  His name was Jeffrey, he was a little boy and we played together all day."


Brute laid down and continued, "I grew too large and the family feared I would hurt little Jeffrey. They had to send me away.  I miss Jeffrey dearly."


Everyone in the room teared up, even me and I'm Superboy.  


Miss Jenkins noticed the green tears, "Dare I ask Ethan?"


Sarah jumped in before I could respond, "He cries green Mom, we cry clear.  We're all a little different.  That's what makes us special."


We all smiled extra big and looked at Brute, "You know what, I'm a talking dog.  Green has nothing on me."


We laughed and laughed and laughed until our bellies hurt.  


Suddenly, Brute jumped up and began growling ferociously towards the front door, "Get ready family.  We have company."


None of the sensors went off but someone was here that wasn't supposed to be.


"A talking dog is cool but what about being able to levitate?"
