The old man, before passing into the next life, assumed that Steven would be able to fully control his new powers, but he was mistaken. Steven, while he would be able to 'control' his powers some of the time, would soon learn that he will have lapses in concentration that will not only effect him...but also those around him. And the aliens, who at first had taken an interest in Steven, suddenly decided that there were other planets a lot more important to 'explore', and so they left, leaving Steven with his amazing, unpredictable powers.
Steven entered work, still affected by seeing the old man pass away. "Evening luv!" Liz greeted him as he walked through the Goods In entrance where the delivery lorry was being offloaded by her and Tracey W.
"STEVEN!" Tracey then called out boisterously as she always did while winking at him.
"Hey you two, you both alright?" Steven asked.
"Fine thank you!" Liz smiled. "I'm good Stevie, thanks!" Tracey winked again, slapping his ass.
"Good to know!" Steven said, before wandering onto the shop floor and heading upstairs. He passed Gail on the stairs, and she greeted as she always did, in between shoving a piece of candy into her mouth as always. "Your teeth will fall out!" Steven laughed at Gail, pointing to the candy that filled out her pockets.
"Yeah well, I'm 50 now luv, I'll be having false ones put in soon!" Gail chuckled back, before continuing downstairs. Steven then went through the door at the top of the stairs, made his way to the lockers near the girl's toilets and took his coat off...putting it inside the locker and securing it. For a moment...it felt like just another ordinary evening at work, but his powers had not yet manifested, but given Steven's vivid imagination...they soon would. Heading into the tea room, he saw everyone else who was working that night sat around the table, gossiping and drinking tea or soda. "Hi gang!" Steven greeted them, and they reciprocated.
Steven then took note where a few particular people were. Natalie was stood over by the window, leaning against the bench and taking on her cell phone to her fiance. Becky was at the sink near Natalie getting a drink of water, and Charlotte, being her usual 'chatty' self was checking the notice board seeing who's birthday was coming up next.
Steven suddenly felt feeling a little strange, he couldn't have known his powers were starting to surface. And that he would be unable to control them completely.
