The Cornerian Complex

[FoxMcCloud]

Toby's purring began to muffle a bit as he was getting ready to speak. "I don't even understand it....." he would say to her, hoping he did not offend her. He would look at his plate again, then up at John, smiling at his friend.

Jade heard his response and she smiled at the young boy. "Don't worry Toby, its a natural feeling." Jade stated. "Sometimes myself and others even John do what you just did, it is completely natural."

John looked at Toby. He smiled back at the boy. He had been watching the interaction between Jade and Toby. "If you would like dessert, go right ahead. I heard that they have an excellent banana split" He said happily.

Toby would lower an ear, "I'm sorry....the breakfast made me full...but thank you.." he would say. Then while staring at John he would try to think, "Can you hear me Miss Jade?" he would try, seeing if he could at least reach one person like this. He didn't like it, cause it excluded John, but he knew if it ever involved someone closer when he grew up, it might be fun.

Jade heard a voice. At first she thought Toby was talking through his voice. She then noticed that it was telepathic. She smiled a bit. "Yes Toby I can hear you, can you hear me? and please call me Jade" She looked at Toby and smiled, hoping that he would pick up her voice.

He would face his head to the side, he heard something. it came to him as, "Yes.....hear you.......me.....Jade" He chuckled, at least he knew he was hearing something, and able to talk like that. He stared at John, wanting to try it on him, but decided against it for now, since he would not be able to hear a response to greatly.

Jade saw his response and she knew that some of the message went through. She smiled a bit. She noticed that Toby stared at John and soon she did to. Wondering how John would react.

John noticed the young boys joyous smile. He noticed that Toby felt accomplished about something. "What is it Toby?"

John noticed the young boys joyous smile. He noticed that Toby felt accomplished about something. "What is it Toby?"

Toby would giggle, then he concentrated, "Hi Mr. John" he would think, not knowing if it went through or not. He then turned to Jade, "Do you think I'll be able to hear just one person at a time and not everyone else?" he would ask her normally, in case John did not get the message, and lightly filled in what he did.

He then turned to Jade, "Do you think I'll be able to hear just one person at a time and not everyone else?" he would ask her normally, in case John did not get the message, and lightly filled in what he did.

John picked up Toby's message. He smiled, he thought a little bit "I am not sure if you can hear me Toby, but if you can hear my thoughts, I heard you." He was not sure if Toby could hear him, so he also decided to tell him that he heard him. "Yes Toby, I heard you."

Jade looked at Toby. she voiced back to him "Yes, I can help you. I had the same problem when I first started discovering my gift."

[Kid_Cortet]

John picked up Toby's message. He smiled, he thought a little bit "I am not sure if you can hear me Toby, but if you can hear my thoughts, I heard you." He was not sure if Toby could hear him, so he also decided to tell him that he heard him. "Yes Toby, I heard you."

Jade looked at Toby. she voiced back to him "Yes, I can help you. I had the same problem when I first started discovering my gift."

Toby sadly didn't hear John in thought, but turned his head when he was spoken to. He would smile, but knew it was starting to cut out again. He suddenly remembered the bent fork and pulled it from under his leg where he hid it, "I also want help with this..." he would show Jade the fork, "It happened when I felt upset...." he would say. Just then a waiter came by and noticed the bent fork. "Um....excuse me....what..happened to the silverware..." knowing it could not be by accident.

[FoxMcCloud]

John saw the waiter and cunningly responded. "Oh, when we sat down, my little guy here found the fork hidden in the cushions. " He looked at Toby and smiled and looked back at the waiter " We can assure you all of our forks are here."  Jade had managed while the waiter was distracted to take a fork from a booth behind them and put it into John's hand under the table. "He has his fork, and I have mine."

[Kid_Cortet]

John saw the waiter and cunningly responded. "Oh, when we sat down, my little guy here found the fork hidden in the cushions.

"He has his fork, and I have mine."

The waiter would reach out his hand, "Then I am terribly sorry about that, we strive for perfection, but as I can see....not all things are. Mind if I take the Fork young man?" he would ask, and Toby would reach out and hand it to the man, then watched as he he walked away back towards the kitchen. Toby giggled, "That was funny....thank you Mr. John....Mi~ I mean Jade..." he would say, smiling to them both.

John had noticed that Toby was coming out of his shell. He smiled back at the young tiger. "No worries Toby, and please just call me John."

Jade had looked at Toby and said. "Now this other gift you have, it is truly a special one. It gives you the ability to control objects with your mind. I can do the same." She would focus on the salt shaker. She managed to move it from one side of the table, to the other and back."

Toby would watch and laugh a bit, "Does it take a lot for you to move something?" he would ask, as when he moved the bacon, and the dice the second time, it was getting easier and easier each time. He would look at the pepper shaker, concentrated a bit, and it would soon lift up and float over to his plate, sprinkling a bit of pepper onto the few crumbs he had left, then floated back to its original spot. He would look at it for a moment, "It gets easier to do that....every time I move something..." he muttered.

Jade watched as he moved the pepper shaker and she was surprised at the progress he was making.  she told Toby "It did take a lot for me to move things at first, but the more I practiced the easier it became. Small objects are easy for me to move, but bigger things tend be more difficult for me. I find that the more you practiced. The easier it will be for you, but remember with this gift, it holds great power, and with great power, comes great responsibility."

(coughrip...ripcough )

Toby smirked, "I don't plan to hurt anyone with it, I promise..." he would say, hearing the words she had spoken. He would think of what she had said about moving bigger object and he got an idea. He would turn to the flowers he glanced at earlier, thinking, the flowers would begins to sway, as if caught in a breeze. A little girl in the table near the flowers began to giggle some, taking note in the flowers as her parents sat in confusion. Toby would look down, then back up at the other two. He smiled, then took a deep breath, trying to relax his excitement.

Jade heard Toby's words, she smiled and put her arm around the boy. "I have no doubt that you will take great care of your gift."

Jade and John both noticed what he had done with the flowers, and even they had giggled a bit.

[Kid_Cortet]

Jade heard Toby's words, she smiled and put her arm around the boy. "I have no doubt that you will take great care of your gift."

Jade and John both noticed what he had done with the flowers, and even they had giggled a bit.

Toby, with no response to what Jade had done, suddenly grabbed his head, without warning, almost everything on the table in front of him began to lift up, slowly. He began to growl softly, feeling pain inside of his head. The objects had stopped a few inches above the table, and began to twirl around. Toby started to grit his teeth, glaring at the dinner ware, trying to make it go back down without crashing. He finally let out a deep breath and the objects hit the table anyway. Toby would hang his head.

Jade and John were shocked. They had no idea at what had happened aside from all the objects on the table lifting. Jade and John were worried. Jade the most. "Toby is everything ok? What happened are you ok?"

Toby could not say anything, in fact he would lean into Jade, as if asleep. The same waiter as before came rushing over, "I am sorry, is everything ok?" he would ask, knowing something was going on at this table. He would glance at the slightly shambled table, then at Toby, then at the other two, his hands on his hips, a little annoyed.

John knew that there was no way to explain this, so he decided that he was going try his best. "I am sorry, if there are any damages just add them to the bill. Meanwhile can we have the check please?"

Jade was worried about Toby. whatever happened had hurt him, and he looked like he was out cold.

Jade looked over at John. " John what do we do, we can't bring him back to the orphanage, we don't even know where it is, and we can't just leave him here!"

A voice would come from behind John, "It is why he is in the orphanage...." It was the old woman form before, Toby was right, she did double check everywhere. Toby would move a bit, until finally he sat up right, staring blankly down at the table, trying to recollect his thoughts, oblivious that the woman was there. She stood there shaking her head, "So apparently he has been slipping out of taking his "medicine"..." she would say.

She stood there shaking her head, "So apparently he has been slipping out of taking his "medicine"..." she would say.

Jade did not like the old lady and she was very defensive of Toby. "What  do you mean by medicine, I have the same set of skills as Toby, and I never took medicine." John noticed the old lady behind him and he freaked a little at her cold voice. He moved out of that set and over to Jade and Toby" They all sat facing the old lady.

"She...makes me take...medicine..." was all that Toby could mutter at the moment. The old woman began to speak again, "He has caused so many problems since he was dropped off at my doorstep...Luckily I knew of an Earth drug that surpressed telepathic abilities....it is rare, but in most cases effective.." Toby would sneeze, then shake his head as if he just woke up, "What happened?" he would look at Jade, noticing John was now sitting next to them.

John looked at Toby "Whoever that lady is, she has successfully made jade not to happy" he said whispering. "you were right, she does double check."

Jade looked at the old lady. An anger was growing inside her, this brought back memories of her childhood. "You never even tried to find someone to help him control his powers?! Medicine has been suppressing these powers over time, and that is only making things worse.!"

Toby would face the woman, the woman noticed this and spoke softly, ignoring Jade, "Come Toby......let's go home..." she would reach out her hand. Toby would cling to Jade's arm, "N-no..." he stuttered. The woman looked at Jade, "Here is the thing, the longer he takes the drug, the more it'll suppress the ability entirely." Toby listened to this and began to get angry. "No, why would we have someone help him with that curse when he has already destroyed two of our orphanages with it?" she would ask. Toby would look down, feeling ashamed about it again.

"Two orphanages?" John was shocked, but he trusted Jade, and knew that her course of her actions would be right for Toby.

Jade bit her lip. She held Toby closer, she was not going to let him go back with that vile woman. "Trying to suppress the ability, would only be like bottling a thunderstorm. Sure you can stop if for a while, but it soon releases. I am going to help Toby, whether you like it or not. I have this "curse" as you call it, It takes time to control it. That is what he needs, not some medicine to help him suppress it."
