Hidden abilities

3rd person POV

A couple of days after the incident Isabelle was told that the baby was fine and healthy but that they wanted to keep her in the hospital to run more tests to hopefully be able to explain exactly what caused the baby to be distressed in the first place. She stayed in the hospital for a month with no answers before finally being discharged and allowed to go back home.

Once they made it back to Ethan's home Ethan pulled Nadia aside and stated, "Thanks again for saving my mom I don't know what I would've done if something were to happen to her, and now that we made it back I can help you with your flying again if you want."

"No need" Nadia stated as her feet began to slowly but gently lift off the ground. "H...How in the world, when did you figure it out?" Ethan asked with curiosity. Shortly after I healed your mom I tried to fly one more time, following the steps you showed me, and by the second day I started flying, but it wasn't till yesterday when I really got the hang of it." Nadia stated with confidence.

"Great now that we are done with the baby stuff we can move on to unlocking your power within or as I like to call it your hidden power," Ethan stated with a smirk. "YES...wait a minute, you call this baby stuff...cause it took me a while to get the hang of it, longer than I would've liked!!!" Nadia stated slightly irritated.

"Well, that's just because your a slow learner," Ethan stated mockingly as he stuck out his tongue and winked. "SLOW LEARNER... I'm not a slow learner your just a freaking prodigy I mean who in the world watches someone fly and then imitates it in an hour." Nadia yelled. "What can I say I'm just that good," Ethan replied with confidence. "More like a freak of nature," Nadia stated teasingly.

Ethan then put his hand on his chest pretending to be hurt by her comment and replied, " How rude...oh I get it someones jealous." Nadia then responded by sticking out her tongue.

"Anyway like I was saying earlier we already know one of your hidden talents is healing know we just have to figure out the other two," Ethan stated. "Wait how do you know that I have 3 different powers?" Nadia questioned. "Simple everyone from the royal family has 3-4 power levels whereas high-class Ashronian warriors have 2-3 like myself and they are usually very powerful almost at the same power level as the royal family.

And regular Ashronians have 1 but it's usually extremely weak powers like being able to make small items float, but when I say regular Ashronians I mean like your average citizens." Ethan explained.

"Ok and what are your 2-3 power levels?" Nadia asked curiously. "Follow me and ill show you," Ethan replied as both he and Nadia flew to the roof of his house. Once they reached the roof Nadia instantly noticed how beautiful the sunset was but was quickly brought back to reality by Ethan.

Ethan then proceeded to point his hand upwards and a large red ball began to form on his palm, next thing Nadia knew the ball shot upwards and created a large explosion in the sky but suppressed enough to make people believe it was just a firework. Nadia was now completely at a loss for words.

"My next power is my favorite," Ethan stated excitedly. He gently closed his eyes and focused as his arm began to turn into armor but at the end, a long scythe-like red blade formed, he waved the blade up in the air and it burned anything in its path. "Wow" is all Nadia could mutter for she was astounded by his power, but of course she wouldn't let him know that. "It's almost like a real-life lightsaber", she stated teasingly. "What no mine is better and stronger" Ethan defended childishly.

" Anyway my final power I won't be able to show you till the sun completely sets because if we get caught ill be in trouble for sure," Ethan explained. Nadia then thought to herself, " How powerful is he really, will he show me his true power or will he only show me a fraction of it, I know he's a lot more powerful than he lets on."

After what seemed like decades the sun finally fully set and Ethans happy yet sarcastic tone changed instantly to a serious demeanor. He flew up into the night sky and the more Nadia looked the more she realized just how strong Ethan really was. Next thing Nadia knew Ethan had wings slowly growing out of his back.

Out of nowhere, Nadia began to have a vision of little Amelia asking her mom a question," Mommy what are angels like?" The mother then replied, " I don't know sweetheart all I know is when you're around one, you feel happy inside. Nadia was then brought back to reality and It was then that she realized just how amazing he really was "a real-life angel...huh," she thought to herself smiling as his angelic wings then began to change from their white beautiful soft form to a silver sharp and dangerous one.

"What the..." before Nadia finished her sentence Ethan shouted, "PRETTY COOL HUH... WATCH THIS!" He brought his hands down and she saw one of his silver metal feathers fly past her in the blink of an eye and crash into the floor behind her. Before she could comprehend what just happened the same exact metal feather came right back towards Ethan and retraced to its original position.

Every time Ethan flapped his wings several of those metal feathers would go in the direction of his choosing and then retract back to their original position. Eventually, they returned to their original white soft angelic form.

"Ethan that's amazing," Nadia exclaimed as Ethan's wings faded away and all that was left was glistening shimmers of where his wings once were. "RIGHT!!! You should have seen how freaked out my parents were when they saw them randomly pop up one day I'm just glad I wasn't at school at the time, next thing I knew they changed to metal when I would get serious or mad so I just practiced controlling the feathers.

So yeah those are my three hidden powers now we just have to unlock yours." Ethan explained with a slightly serious tone. "Great now how exactly do we do that?" Nadia questioned. "haha...um I don't exactly...know," Ethan replied quietly.

"WHAT...HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW ISNT THERE SOMETHING IN THAT BOOK OF YOURS THAT EXPLAINS IT." Nadia yelled frustrated. " You act like I've done this before and it's a history book, not a rule book so no, no it doesn't state how to unlock your hidden power!!!" Ethan replied with an annoyed tone as he stuck out his tongue immaturely.

As a moment of awkward silence passed Ethan finally proposed an idea " OOh I've got an idea why don't you meditate and do that vision thingy you did in the coffee shop." "Oh yeah sure let me just get my crystal ball from home first along with my spellbook," Nadia replied sarcastically. "Great let's stop by your house first then," Ethan replied but was soon cut off due to the sound of a thump in the back of his head from Nadia hitting him.

"Do I look like a witch to you there is no crystal ball or spellbook," Nadia stated. " I knew that I was just joking but just saying metaphorically if I didn't know that, you still didn't have to hit me in the back of the head like a caveman... what's wrong with you," Ethan explained as he continued to rub the back of his head.

" Your a big boy and an all-powerful ashronian don't act like that hurt " Nadia stated with annoyance. " Fine it didn't hurt physically but it did emotionally ya know" Ethan replied with a childish frown as he put a hand to his heart, Nadia then proceeded to roll her eyes at him teasingly as she laughed causing Ethan to have a genuine smile on his face.

" Ok but seriously try that vision thing," Ethan stated. "Ok ok ill try but if that doesn't work we're gonna need to think of something because there is no way I'm fighting my sister with a healing ability. " Nadia explained. " I mean you could always talk her to death...or not... has anyone ever told you, you have the cutest face when your mad," Ethan explained teasingly as he noticed Nadia had an angry expression in the middle of his teasing antics.

"Ethan I'm serious." "Ok fine just meditate so that you can learn how to properly focus on your energy and well start from there and then we can practice again tomorrow after your shift at the brew...deal" Ethan replied with his hand out. "Deal" Nadia stated as she grabbed his hand and shook it. " the more time I spend with you the more confident I become," Nadia thought to herself as she proceeded to smile.
