People's powers were fading? Really? Could that mean Alex's were temporary? They hadn't shown any signs of weakening. In fact, if anything, his powers had been growing in strength the more he had tested them over the past week. Still, Herbert didn't need to know that. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to not have too many people know what he could do.
'Uh, yeah, I think the whole powers thing might have been a temporary deal,' he said. 'Why? Who else's aren't working? Are yours?'
Something caught his eye. It was... Lucio? Wow. Seriously, wow, that guy knew how to move.

Aurora's ears were ringing slightly as she pulled out her 'emergency make-up touch-up kit' from her handbag and placed it on the counter between the sinks. She dragged lots of toilet paper out of a cubicle and dampened it. Aurora tried to wipe away the alcohol and pop before dabbing dry paper over her shoulder and dress where the drink had caught.
When Chris and Signe joined her, she smiled at them. “I'm fine, just slipped.” She stared at her reflection in the smudged mirror. “I mean, I broke my pride a little, looked like a fool in front of you lot and wasted a guy's drink, but I'm good.” Aurora tried to laugh but she was still blushing. “How are you guys finding it so far?” That was mainly directed at Signe.

Signe bit her lip. "It's ok. Bit loud."

Students were starting to fill the dance floor and crowd the bar. The electronic beat of the music was underlined by the sounds of chatting and cheering and laughing. The music reached a thundering crescendo and then faded suddenly into silence. Spotlights lit up the stage as the DJ spoke into his mic.
'Ladies and gentlemen, are we having a good time?'
A cheer from the students.
'I think, everybody, it's time to kick things up a notch! This is your Freshers' Week Super Rave and THIS! IS! CANAGOOOLD!'
Another cheer erupted from the crowd as a black and gold clad figure, his physique perfectly chiselled, his hair fashionably ruffled, flew forth from the curtain at the back of the stage. Canagold soared over the heads of the students, high-fiving them as he flew past, before landing back on the stage and taking a microphone that was being offered to him.
'How we doing, Capital City U?'
A huge cheer, people screaming at Olympus's party boy.
'Alright! I am Canagold - superhero, action figure and party animal! Let's blow the roof off this place!'
Music erupted, even louder than before, lights going crazy all over the room as Canagold fist-pumped the air above his head and cheered into the mic.
At the back of the room, a girl who had got into the club entirely unnoticed ran her fingers through her dark fringe, giggling softly at some guy's attempts to flirt with her. She was staying near the bar, constantly keeping an eye on the superhero on stage.

Herbert gave Alex a strange look. It appeared everybody had suddenly lost there powers. However, he knew some people were lying about it for whatever reason. That, and the weird nervous vibes that Herbert was starting to associate with lying.
"Alex, you still have your powers, don't you?" He probed, before raising his hands. "Look, if you want to ignore them, that's cool. Just I've met a few people you have lost their powers and I've met a few who are just lying, for reasons I can't get. I mean, I'm jusT saying there's nothing wrong with you still have gravity powers. That's cool, dude, very cool." He put a gentle hand on his shoulder. "But if it makes you feel better, then I won't say anything. Aurora lost her powers, apparently," his tone made it clear what he thought of that.
"Anyway, forget that. Yeah, I actually am powerless," he said, sadly. "Seriously, I wouldn't lie. I woke up after the accident day and," he snapped his fingers. "Superspeed gone. I guess the accident kinda gave me some of Omega's powers when it ripped him apart; I was right next to the explosion after all. But they sort of petered out." he looked down, upset. "I'm not going to lie; I can't describe how upset I am, but that's that." He tried a smile, unsuccessfully.
Herbert started as Canagold flew around the room suddenly. Seeing he was giving high fives, he raised an arm, nearly getting blown off his feet when Canagold's five high connected. "Whoa," Herbert laughed, turning back to Alex. "Cool stuff. Strong arms he has there; he has super strength, right? So yeah, that's about it," he said, referring to his earlier statements.

"Fuck me he's annoying" Olem muttered, finally getting to the front of the queue by the bar. "One pint of beer please" Olem said, handing the bartender a fiver. 'I probably should make my way back to the table, or should I join Alex and co on the dance floor?' he debated to himself internally, taking a sip of his beer. He decided to head back to Alex, and made his way through the jostling crowd, trying not to get punched in the face by jumping fists. He'd finished his drink before he got to them, and quickly placed it on an alcove. Upon reaching the pair, he lightly smacked Herbert on the back in greeting "Hey guys, that guys a bit irritating isn't he?" Olem said with a slight smirk.

"Nah," Herbert replied. "We used to see him a few times, you know, when my parents met up with him. It was usually about something he'd done wrong," Herbert laughed, "but he was a fun guy to talk to. I take your point though; he's good in small doses."

When the music quietened and someone was speaking through a microphone, Aurora knew what time it was. “Oh! It's starting!” She said to Signe and Chris while collection up her things. “Let's go!” She opened the door to the bathroom and looked back at the other two with a smile. “I'm not missing Canagold. He's pretty hot.” She said and waited for them for a moment until Canagold started flying around the room high-fiving students. “Awwwwwwh, I hope he does that again later.” Aurora said.

Signe ran out after Aurora. She was going to need another drink she felt. This was going to get boistrous really quickly.

Chris also followed, playfully rolling her eyes at Aurora's reaction to Canagold's appearance. She found it quite amusing which left a smile on her face.
She took a moment to pause and look at the black and gold clad hero in the spotlight. Yeh he was handsome and ripped as fuck. You could grind meat on those abs! Chuckling to herself, she continued to follow the others.

Aurora and the others reached the guys on the dance floor, Aurora automatically offering her hand out to Signe so they didn't get separated. Just after the men discussed whether or not Canagold was annoying, a pink head of hair popped up after squeezing between two people. “Anyone else happily impressed at how smoking hot he is in real life?”

'Pretentious prick,' Alex muttered under his breath as Canagold put on his act. He turned back to Herbert. 'Herbert, I'm not lying about this. Got no reason to. And I don't think Aurora is either. That explosion screwed with us all for a bit, but I don't think it was ever going to last. The effects are wearing off for all of us. Trust me. I'm powerless!'
He clapped Herbert on the back and then turned around at the sound of Aurora's voice. 'You're talking about me, right?' he said with a grin. 'How you doing?' Then he turned to Signe. 'Hey! I'm Alex! Don't think we've met yet.'

If Lucio was in his element beforehand, now he was in a state of pure ecstasy. The clubs back home had been great fun, but none of them had had celebrities! Canagold's appearance made everything at least ten times better. Lucio abandoned his place in the bar queue to rush back into the dancefloor, being welcomed by numerous random groups of people with shouts of "It's the backflip dude, fuck yeah!" Despite getting his groove on, he still kept an eye out for pink hair or tall glarey people. He hadn't been able to find Herbert after spinning away from him, either.

"I don't really care, to be perfectly honest" Olem said, looking down at Aurora as she squeezed into the group "I see you've managed to clean yourself up from your earlier spill". Olem idly stretched "for a place that as protesting supers a few days ago, you would've thought there would be more . . . upset people, what with Canagold's appearance" he scratched his chin in thought "but then again, it's not the first time people say one thing, but act completely differently".
Someone suddenly collided into his side, causing Olem to turn and glare at the intruder. The person quickly apologised and walked away from him quickly "There are too many people here" he grumbled "and they are too close for my liking".

Herbert nodded at Alex, "yeah, okay dude, fair enough." However his senses were still picking up those weird vibes, and he would just wait for Alex to show his powers again. But anyway, he wasn't really too concerned why he was hiding them. It didn't matter. Still, he had to calm himself. Alex just rubbed him the wrong way for some reason.
Smiling however, he turned to the rest of the group. He decided not to comment on Canagold and make his whole gay situation worse and instead said: "You got a thing for Canagold, Aurora? He's pretty awesome," he said loudly, grinning at Alex.
