KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Power outages; who would like them? Well, while they've been happening from time to time, Ginger was legitimately scared of the long-term power outages, due to her poor eyesight in a dark atmosphere. "How can Mark see in the dark," she quietly thought to herself. It was difficult to keep herself calm in dark situations like these, but she knew Mark could simply teleport to her, as long as he is familiar with the place. Her son, Geno, felt the opposite; he has interest in the topic of power outages, but understands why his mother has feared power outages. "Mom, don't be so scared. (He smiles eagerly as he holds his mom's hand.) Dad and I can both help you out," he said. It was surprisingly uncommon for Ginger to spend time with her son, but his personality was memorable by his good intentions. "Thanks, Geno; optimists like you help more than you'd think," she said. Geno understood his mother's admiration for his calming personality, as well as his optimism not everyone has harbored; this contrast to pessimists like Mark made Geno different from his dad, who loved him as a son.

     Ginger prayed with her son, summoning Mark to help both of them. The patriarch saw his troubled wife and hugged her. "Gin, need some help," Mark asked, smiling at his lover in need. Ginger's expression changed as she saw him there with a faint light that glowed, presenting a helping hand. "I'm pleased to see you here, Mark," she said with a calmer expression to see on her face. "Dad, I'm glad you acknowledged the prayer; that's what some would call it," Geno said. Mark smiled at his son's happiness. "Your mom and I love you too," he said. The trio shared a family hug, happier that they've had each other on their side. They patiently waited for the electricity, which took around half an hour; the conversations helped speed this up, although it was challenging to keep the conversation fresh. When it would be near half-an-hour, Ginger yawned with a tiresome look. "Mark, should I get some sleep now," she asked, checking her right wrist's digital watch, which luckily had a backlight, but its battery power was too low to keep on.

     Mark felt a hug from her as the husband/wife couple tried to share a kiss. Geno, who watched his mom's affection, quietly smiled as the two kissed. Ginger, out of exhaustion, passed out when Mark kissed his prized wife. He pulled out of her mouth once he felt her tongue stop. "Geno, your mother's passed out. I'll ensure she gets comfortable, so I need to help her," he said. Geno's expression changed to a frown as he tried to hug him. "Dad, will both of you be fine," he asked. The father and son, miraculously saw the lights return. Mark sighed as he saw the light bulbs shine. "Geno, regardless of that, I think we have a start," he said, teleporting to his room he and his wife sleep. Ginger, who was still unconscious, was laid on the bed and given CPR by Mark, who was trained by Raia to learn the procedure for an emergency. Fortunately, Raia was a CPR professional who has used this gift for helping unconscious men who may faint in the labs she worked at. It was around 20 minutes when Mark woke up his loved one.

     "..." Ginger could breathe more easily as Mark heard a moan from her. However, her breathing was too inconsistent, and needed the next CPR parts. Mark pressed his lips on hers, pinched her nose, then positioned his lover's head as Raia has suggested, and started to try rescue breathing. This was the last resort; otherwise, the hospital staff will be needed. After the eleventh breath, Ginger's eyes were now opening. Mark got his mouth and hand off of her, shocked to see her wake up. "Wha-What has been happening," she asked. Mark hugged his wife as she looked at him. "Thank God you're alive- I was terrified a bit when you passed out. Fortunately, the lights are back on," he said. Ginger had a shocked expression, but her intention was calming Mark down at this point. "I can see why you got scared," she said. Mark brought her chin to his and saw his wife form her lips in preparation for a kiss. "I could use a good night kiss," she said. Mark accepted the request and kissed his wife's lips. Once done, both of them got in their bed to sleep in. "Good night, you heroic man," Ginger said to Mark.
