(A.N. Hiya fellas! I'm so sorry for making y'all wait for the next chapter of 'Love Will Do What It Does'. WRITERS. BLOCK. IS. THE. FREAKING. WORST! *takes deep breath* Whoo! Okay, I'm fine. I finally figure out how to continue it so YAY!!! Message me if you have a prompt or idea I can use. Alright, that is all. Enjoy!)

The leader with the beautiful blue eyes and handsome face pulled up a chair and sat down at the kitchen table. Katherine and Davey followed suit and soon everyone was surrounding the table.

"My name is Jack, Jack Kelly to be exact. I was the first one out o' these fellas to get powers, which are super strength, heightened senses, an'-" He stopped his explanation briefly. "Well, it's probably betta if I show yous."

He stood and grabbed a sketchpad off the counter and a bag of pencils and pens before returning to his seat. Placing the sketchpad on the table, he began drawing on it.

He was so focused that it took maybe 3 minutes before he stopped and showed everyone finished art. It was a calico playing with a ball of yarn.

Katherine was shocked at how life like it looked. From the way the cat's emerald eyes seemed to sparkle to the tail that was looked fluffy to its little paws she felt she could just reach out and hold it.

That was when she saw the tail move.

She blinked, thinking she was just imaging it, but she wasn't.

Little by little, this pretty kitten became 3-Dimensional and sprung to life. Katherine couldn't believe what she was seeing. She gasped and made a hand fly to her mouth.

Jack chuckled. He loved people's reactions to this ability. The kitten was now completely alive, purring and walking around the table. She ended up leaping into Katherine's lap, curling up, and falling asleep.

Still in awe, she stared at Jack hoping for an explanation. "I can bring any art to life. Paintings, drawings, statues, you name it! I've actually gotten the nickname "Cowboy" because the first thing I brought to life was a drawing of a cowboy on a horse." He laughed, remembering that day like it was yesterday.

Katherine swallowed her shock and simply nodded, subconsciously running her fingers over the kitten in her lap.

"Oh! Oh! Me next!" The boy with shaggy black hair cried. "The name's Romeo. And I'se can do this," he said turning to the boy with a cigar.

Romeo stared into his eyes for a second and made a whirling motion with his hand, then the other boy started twirling around, spinning like a top.

"Romeo! Make. Me. STOP!" The boy shouted at him. Romeo sighed. "Fine Race." He stopped spinning and staggered around, very dizzy.

"So, what exactly did I just witness?" Katherine asked in total confusion.

"I 'ave hypnosis. I can make almost anyone do anythin'! It comes in real handy with the ladies." He said with a flirtatious gleam in his eyes. Katherine rolled her eyes and looked at the boy with the cigar who was still reeling.

"What about you?"

"Oh, me? I'm Race. And I-" he stopped and shifted slightly. He held up Katherine's cell phone in his hand. Her eyes widened and she searched her pockets, not finding her phone.

"I 'ave superspeed and super agility." He said, sliding her phone across the table back to her. She took it into her hands and slipped it into her boot, the cat in her care purred at her touch.

Katherine then turned her gaze to a boy with glasses. He noticed and gave her a nod.

"Specs is the name. I'se got vision based powers. Likes x-ray, heat, and thermal. That's how I'se freed Crutchie from his ropes." "Ooooooh. Okay, that explains it." Katherine replied.

She realized that they was going clockwise around the table. The boy next to Specs sensed it was his turn, so he began speaking.

"I'm Jojo. This here's Henry." He said pointing to the boy on the other side of him. Henry eaved, smiling. "Our powers kinda go togetha. I control air an' fire, he controls earth an' water." He continued.

Katherine's poor head was spinning. So many names, so many abilities. She shook her head, trying to focus back on this ragtag gang of boys.

'Three more left' her mind told her. A snore rang though the room. All eyes turned to a little boy, no older than 9, sleeping on the floor of the kitchen. 'Make that four.' She thought.

"Well, now that we know why Les has been so quiet, I think I'll bring him up to his bed." Davey said, standing up and walking over to the boy. 'They must be brothers, they look very much alike.' Katherine mentally noted.

Davey picked him up off the floor and made his way up the stairs and was soon out of sight.

"Now that that's over with, I guess it's my turn." The last unknown boy that was present said. "The name is Albert. I have this healin' ability. If I ever get hurt, I'm healed within a minute. I also happen to be an expert martial artist." He informed.

(Y'all are welcome for the long chapter. Sorry for the terrible ending. Has anyone else noticed that Albert is one of the more articulate Newsies? It hit me when I was writing this chapter. Okay, I hope I didn't disappoint y'all with this one. Y'all found out a lot of their powers. The only ones left are Crutchie, Davey, and Les. Are any of y'all wondering how Medda fits into this?...... Hehehe. Please comment what you thought of this chapter and vote. Panda out!)
