10 10:Training part 2

"Now it's time we spilt you three up. Aiden you'll be in our special made room built for testing out truly powerful assets. You're powerful but it's time you learn to control your powers." Aiden was close to breathing normally yet he still felt drained after shooting such a huge blast.

"Amy you're going to be going to one of my very own training rooms. You may not be as strong as me but I expect your powers to grow and you'll need to know how to control your new found strength."

Two agents wearing black combat suits soon walked in the room leading both Amy and Aiden in different directions.

"Alex I'll be training you myself partly because you're my nephew but mainly because of your control over your powers seem far more advanced."

Alex nodded knowing the difference between him and friends. He had told no one that he got to choose what power he wanted but he could already tell he was a special case.

Alex followed Veronica to a dark hallway " the powers out in this section of the floor." Veronica opened a door and holding it open as Alex followed closely "this room was made specifically designed for some one in your position. We don't have much time to train you so if I have to beat you half to death in a dark space for days than so be it." Veronica smiled as she slammed the door shut.

Alex didn't even get a chance to defend himself before a shadow struck him in the face.

His eyes were slowly adjusting to the darkness but Veronica didn't let up. Alex finally decided it was enough as he called on his lightning.

White lightning laced his hands Alex was relieved that he could finally see as he had literally lit the room up. Alex could do nothing even as he saw a blue fist crash into his face. Darkness once again filled the room as Alex fell unconscious.

He woke up in a unfamiliar room as he looked around he realised that he didn't feel any discomfort throughout his body. The room was simple a bed a restroom and windows to the left of the bed. He looked out the window noticing the sun was no longer up.

"I've already called Theresa and told her you would be staying with me for a couple days." Alex turned to see Veronica carrying a bag and dragging a chair behind her. She took a seat in the chair throwing the bag to Alex. "Eat up and get some rest."

"So we're just gonna ignore the fact that you cornered me in the dark and quite literally beat the crap out of me." Confusion and anger laced his voice he truly couldn't understand the woman standing before him.

"You're weak and we don't have time for the traditional training. You're relying on your powers too much, what happens if one day you're put in a situation where your powers don't work? I'm preparing you for the worst like i said if that means I have to beat you half to death everyday until you can defend yourself than so be it." Veronica stood up dragging her chair to the door.

"And you think I'll just sit here and allow you to torture me daily I could just go home" Alex said making a point.

Veronica Stopped and turned to Alex "You won't though, because you know that'll put your family and friends in danger, and you could always just fight back." Veronica turned back leaving Alex to his own thoughts.

Alex knew that leaving would be a huge mistake. If Dr.Hanson found him he would have no way to fight back. His Aunt was giving him a chance not only protect himself but to protect the ones he loved.

He reached inside the back pulling out a subway sandwich. He unwrapped it finding his favorite kind Sweet onion Teriyaki.

With Aiden and Amy things were a lot less violent. Aiden had spent most of the day shooting smaller blast of green energy testing his limits with those. Shooting smaller blast allowed Aiden to last longer and they could be used in actual combat.

Amy on the other hand had been tasked with staying Diamondnized for as long as she could. While in her diamond form they tested her strength. a coupe hundred pounds were her max strength but that was for now. Their powers were like muscles and the more that they used them the easier it became. Unlike Alex who gained control over electricity their powers were developing with them.

On the top floor Veronica could be seen sitting at a meeting table with a cup of scotch in her hands. A woman stood next to her in a suit and glasses.

"Excuse my ma'am but are you not afraid of Prince Alexander hating you for what you're putting him through?" This was Madeline, she had been Veronica's right hand woman for years. She was the one who took care of all the business side of things at Downey industries. She was like family to Veronica otherwise she would never trust her enough to handle Downey industries.

"This is for his sake if his father comes after him he'll have to be able to protect himself. I don't care what he thinks of me as long as he survives." Veronica sipped from her cup as she looked out the windows.

"Start preparing our forces once we solve our Dr.Hanson problem I'll give Alexander his early birthday gift. After that I'm going home it's time I confronted my brother in-law in person." Madeline nodded as she wrote in her tablet.

"How are his friends doing?" Veronica poured herself another cup of scotch.

"Aiden shows potential his powers have limits but I'm sure we'll find ways to make up for his weaknesses. Unlike Prince Alexander who seems to have complete control over his lightning Aiden's powers seem to be harder to control. We believe that his powers are growing slowly but eventually he'll be able to accomplish incredible things with them.

Amy seems to bee showing just as much promise although she seems to hate the idea of training. Her ability to diamondnize her skin is truly amazing it boost her strength and defenses by a ton but it does have it's weaknesses. She's slower and she had a time limit the longest she can stay in that form varies on the amount of damage she takes.

We believe her powers are growing as well at first the max she could life was 250 pounds but that number seems to be slowly climbing. We also have reason to believe that she has another ability one that stems from her Diamondnized skin. She can shoot tiny diamonds from her skin but it also minimizes the amount of time she can remain in that form.

Veronica nodded taking in all that information she sipped from her cup. "Train them well I have a feeling they'll be the ones Alex can rely on in the future."
