Megan gasped as Harry ran forward to look at your injury. Fortunately, the ice you had summoned to dull the pain had melted only now your hand hurt twice as bad. "What happened!?!" concerned, Harry asked.
"I burnt my hand in the kitchen." thinking quickly, you replied. "It was a stupid mistake."
"More than you might realize." wincing, Hayley thought.
Deciding it best to report what she had seen to mom, she quietly sneaked away to go speak with her. In the living room, as your friends turned to the kitchen, you used your powers to turn on a burner. Harry saw that burner and quickly left to turn it off while Megan took a look at your hand. "You did a number on yourself, John." sighing, she said. "It doesn't look serious, though." pausing, she asked, "How did this happen?"
"I was going to make myself some oatmeal but I turned on the wrong burner." still, thinking quickly, you replied. "When I saw that the water was not boiling, I placed my hand on the stove as I checked the switch."
Megan shook her head. "You need to be more careful, John." scolding, she said. "Come to think of it, you have been very distracted for quite some time." she stepped closer. "Is there anything you wish to share with us?"
"No- Nothing I can't handle." stammering, you replied.
"I thought that was my line." returning from the kitchen, Harry said. he turned to Megan. "Get John to your mom, I'll tell Ms H what had happened." he then turned to you. "Whatever has been bugging you lately needs to come to the surface, bro. We're here for you, okay?"
"Come on, John." leading you to the door, Megan said. "Let's get your hand tended to."
You were hesitant at first, knowing your lab could heal your injury a lot faster, only you were not ready to reveal your secret to anyone just yet. "Okay, I'm coming." finally, you said.
As you walked out the door with Megan, Harry reached mom where Hayley had run to speak of what she had seen. "Ms H, John's hurt!" coming into view, Harry said. "He burnt his hand in the..."
"I know, Hayley saw it and ran to get me immediately." calmly, mom replied. "We're on our way to the Thompson's house now, you are free to join us."
Harry nodded then said, "John's been rather distracted lately, do you know anything?"
"No but we will get to the bottom of that." seriously, mom replied. "John likes to deal with his own problems but I fear this one may be over his head."
