Alex's eyes opened groggily and he wiped them with the back of his hand, he sat upright and pushed back his hair. He looked around and saw the speedy girl sleeping on the couch and smiled, he looked for the remote and found it on the floor. He turned the TV on and saw that the news was blaring headlines about a new lantern in town, the girl wore a pinkish purple outfit and had a construct rapped around a car saving it from near head on collision with an eighteen wheeler. He smiled, knowing the rest of the world was getting their dose of wierd for the day. He looked down at his hands and lit a small flame floating above his palm, he made it dance around his hand and through his fingers entertaining himself. 

He sighed and went back to watching TV keeping his hand suspended over the edge of the couch still making the flame dance. He watched TV then flipped it to the American Ammunition channel and watched some interesting weapons being tested, he smiled broadly as a flame thrower was tested. His hand slipped back and caught the arm of the couch, he smelt the burning and turned around he picked up a pillow and smothered the flame, striking the edge of the couch where it had been burned. He looked at the burned corner of the couch and frowned, he knew he'd be instantly pegged for burning it.
