Last time on XTREME...

"Well...its just a hunch now, but I think that when Lou Pearlman gathered
you all together, I believe that he could somehow sense, whether
consciously or unconsciously, that you had powers.", Bill replied.

Bill looked up as Kevin emerged from the rental office with keys and a
smile.  Bill put the van in drive and followed Kevin as he walked over to a
parking lot and unlocked a large van and began to pile suitcases into it.
Moments later everything was packed up and the guys were on their way back
to the hotel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 14 Begins Now....

Bill watched quietly as Kevin and the rest of his band checked into the
hotel and asked to be placed on the same floor as the other band.  The
hotel manager looked puzzled for a moment before nodding his head and
handing the keys to 5 rooms to Kevin. Kevin turned around and walked over
to Bill and Lance and the rest of the guys and they all headed up to their
floor.  Bill watched as Kevin began to pass out the keys to his bandmates
and then quietly "spoke" to Kevin.

'Kevin...Give Nick room #1824.'  Kevin started at the mental voice in his
head and turned to Bill and nodded, then gave Nick the key to that room.
Lance looked up at Bill who smiled smugly as they got off the elevator and
walked towards their rooms.  Lance and Bill turned to open the door to
their room and watched Nick walk back to the end of the hallway and key the
door on the far end of the hallway open.  Lance smiled and sighed a sigh of
relief and unlocked the door to his room.

"Funny that he got the room at the end of the hall like that.", Lance
giggled as the door shit and he slid his arms around Bill's waist.

"Yeah", Bill grinned, "Funny how that happens.  Hey...I have a favor to ask
of you.  Can I move my clothes and stuff in here?  My reservation is up
today and I have to check out of my room downstairs.  I know you guys are
gonna be here for two more days, but when I reserved the room, I was
planning on going back home after the concert."

"I dunno....moving in together is such a serious step...", Lance teased
with a grin.

"Oh...Ok...I understand.  I'll go see if Nick needs a roomma..." Bill's
retort was cut off as Lance moved forward and kissed him on the lips.

"Don't even think about it.", Lance said after he broke the kiss, "I'll
help you go get your stuff."

A few moments later, Lance and Bill dropped his suitcase and bag into
Lance's room and then took the key down to the front desk and Bill checked
out of his room.  The ride back up to Lance's room was quiet with Bill
holding Lance in front of him, tenderly rubbing his back as Lance sighed
with pleasure from the tactile contact of his lover.  As Lance opened the
door to his room, the telephone began to ring and Lance quickly walked over
and picked it up.

"Hello?", Lance said, "No....we went there to pick up the Backstreet Boys
and it looked like a bomb went off or something.  Luckily none of the guys
on either band were harmed.  Oh really?  Robert and a few others had gotten
there before us?  No, I didn't see them...I dunno if they are all
right...you might wanna contact the RDU airport security people...maybe
they can tell you....oh...OK....well...don't worry...the Backstreet Boys
are all grown up and we're all doing OK....we'll take care of each other
while we're here....Thanks....Bye."

Lance turned to Bill and smiled, "That would have been our management.
They saw that something happened at RDU today."

"Well...good thinking about that Robert thing....the airport authority will
just give them the basic facts since the FBI is now involved.", Bill
smiled.

A knock on the door ended the conversation as Bill walked over and opened
it to see a surprised Kevin, Nick and Brian standing there waiting.

"Hi guys!  All settled in?", Bill smiled and invited the guys in.  Brian
and Kevin sat down on the sofa and Nick plopped down on the bed beside
Lance, who immediately got up and walked over and grabbed a water bottle
out of the mini-fridge.

"So Bill...How long does it take to figure out our powers?", Kevin asked
quietly.

"Well...once you figure out what it is you can do, it's just practicing and
building up the mental muscles that lay behind the power itself.", Bill
replied after a minute.

"So how...do we do this?  What do you have to do to us?", Brian asked
questioningly.

Bill smiled and sat down and looked into Brian's eyes, holding his gaze as
his mind expanded outwards and enveloped Brian's.  Brian gasped and snapped
his head back then relaxed as felt Bill slowly delve through his mind. A
second later, Bill smiled and retracted his mind back from Brian's as Brian
then shook his head and then smiled.

"Those are pretty eyes you have there Brian.  Why don't you show us all
what you can do with them?", Bill said with a smile. Brian looked puzzling
at Bill for a second, then Bill grabbed a water bottle from the mini-fridge
and placed it on the end night table.

"Concentrate on the bottle, Brian...then strike!", Bill said in a low
voice.

Brian looked at the water bottle and began to concentrate.  A minute later,
as he squinted his eyes a little in concentration, two tightly focused blue
beams shot from his eyes, immediately exploding the water bottle the second
they hit it.

Nick's jaw dropped into his lap and Kevin let out a low whistle as the
melted plastic top of the waterbottle rolled to a stop at his feet.

"WOW!", Brian grinned like a little boy, "Look what I did!"

Bill smiled and then walked over to his suitcase and pulled something out
and put it behind his back as he stood facing Brian.

"Ok Brian", Bill smiled, "Now try to think of something different...without
exploding me....tell me what I am holding in my hand."

Brian closed his eyes for a moment, then sighed as he thought of a way to
re-focus this new power in a non-destructive way.  He took a deep breath
and opened his eyes and looked at Bill....then smiled broadly.

"A pocketwatch...a gold pocketwatch with a lunar dial.", Brian said and
grinned as Bill nodded.

"Good job Brian!", Bill said and patted Brian on the back.  Brian blushed
and then Bill turned to Kevin.

"OK Kevin...open your mind.", Bill said with a smile.  Kevin smiled and
then took a deep breath as he felt Bill's consciousness within his mind.
Bill reached deep into Kevin's mind, and immediately found the barriers
that kept his powers in check and removed them.  Kevin gasped as he felt
both his powers and the cognizance of them flood through his mind.

"Ok, Kevin....show them.", Bill said with a smile.

Kevin grinned at Bill then got up off the bed and put his arms out to the
side.  The guys watched as Kevin's inhaled, his chest began to expand, his
clothes getting tighter and tighter as his body seemed to enlarge itself
almost two-fold.  Two seconds later a ripping of fabric was heard as
Kevin's clothes ripped and fell off him, exposing his body for all to
see. The guys gasped and Kevin groaned as his skin began to transform into
a dull gray material.  Finally, Kevin stood still, his transformation
complete, he opened his eyes and looked down at his body and smiled as he
ran his hands over his huge forearms.

"Whoa!", Nick said, "What happened?"

Kevin smiled and then began to pose and flex the muscles in his body, which
stood out in huge relief even more so than when he was a man of flesh and
blood. "My body changed.  I am not skin and bones anymore....I am now some
organic living metal."

Kevin reached down and picked the bed with Nick up on it with three
fingers.  Nick's eyes widened as he felt himself and the bed be
effortlessly lifted upwards by the now hulking Kevin.

"You got a LOT stronger too, Kev!" Nick said as Kevin gently lowered the
bed back to the ground.

A second later, Kevin turned to Bill and Bill nodded.  Kevin then closed
his eyes and within seconds changed back into his usual self.

"Now THAT WAS AMAZING!", Brian said as he watched his cousin.

"Yeah.", Bill said as he oogled the now-naked Kevin.  "He's...pretty
amazing all right. Umm Hmmm!"

Lance grabbed a pillow and smacked Bill on the back of the head with it
then tossed it to the now blushing Kevin to try and cover himself up with.

"Ow....Damn!", Bill laughed, "Just cause I ordered off the menu doesn't
mean I can't look at the appetizers...and you just can't get appetizers
THAT SIZE anywhere anymore!"

Lance smirked at Bill as the guys, including Kevin began to laugh loudly at
the two of them.

'You know....I can look all I want....you are the one that holds the key to
my heart.', Bill said silently to Lance, who smiled as his eyes misted up
slightly.  Bill grabbed Lance and pulled him into a passionate embrace.

"Yeah....", Lance said with a smile, "You're right....he shouldn't have to
hide that....I'll admit...Kev's a hottie!"

Kevin began to blush again at Lance's words then Bill got up and got a pair
of shorts and a shirt for Kevin to wear.

"And don't you dare transform in those...I like those shorts!", Bill
warned, waggling a finger under Kevin's nose as he smiled down at the him.

"Hey!", Nick said excitedly, "What about me??"

"OK Nick....it's your turn!"
