67. Close Encounters

A strange sense of accomplishment settled over Josh at the stunned look on Professor Klein's face. It made his day just to watch that stupid facade of indifference fall. To see her true feelings for once. It was a bonus that the emotion turned out to be utter shock. She had no idea his powers were fake. None of them did.

"Well, you hid it very well, and we trusted you," Professor Klein said and looked him in the eyes.

Josh felt his eyes narrow. She couldn't read minds, right? No, her power was some kind of attack, wasn't it? She had used it to pop that giant bird's head on the mountain.

"I can also hear the last thing you thought," she said with a satisfied grin.

"Fuck," Josh yelled and punched the mattress.
