[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6064591, member: 4936"] "I know, but I really can't tonight," Michelle said into her cellphone. "I already had plans, and I can't back out. Any other time is good though; I can't wait to meet them. What was that? Sorry, my window's down. One sec. Okay when? Yeah, that'd be fine. Perfect. Thanks for understanding, Mr Getz. I'll see you then." She closed her phone, having stopped on top of some low-rise apartment building in midtown. She wasn't even tired...but she'd had to stop because the noise of the wind was making it hard to hear. Leroy Getz was the CEO of the company, and he wanted her to come make an official eyewitness briefing to the board about what had happened. It was almost literally a dream come true. Impress even one of them, and things could start to happen. Of course, she couldn't do it tonight. She had a date with her fellow fortunate accident victims. She'd spent the four hours of free time experimenting with her abilities...and had been surprised to discover that her control of light extended to creating a kind of...false solidity. She could move things around, even her own body. The force she generated wasn't strong enough to lift herself up...but it could negate a lot of her weight. Using it, she could lift more, run faster, jump higher and longer. She could easily climb even sheer surfaces because she didn't have to support much weight with her hands. It was crazy. It was a rush. She'd had time to look up light online, and had read that 'solidity' was somehow an artifact of electromagnetism. And light was just another form of electromagnetism. Maybe that's what she was doing...creating an electric field that 'faked' whatever attributes solid objects had? She had no idea. But it was fun as hell. Even running as fast as a horse and vauling over fences and climbing buildings like a crazed comic book character was slower than driving to the place...but Michelle wanted nothing to connect her to it. She'd even found a mask to wear, and a tight bodysuit she'd worked out in last year that still fit... She'd gotten almost a block before having to go back and put on a jacket and better shoes. Did superheroes have tailors? They must make a mint. There was the place. Big. Fancy. Nice. Michelle spotted a few people already heading up the drive to the door and reasoned that was probably the others. She made her way down...finding that while she couldn't fly, she could slow her descent from high up, and that was just fine. Then she wrapped herself in invisibility and trotted at a brisk pace to catch up with everyone. Of course, she'd forgotten Jacie could apparently see in the dark, and see the invisible, so made no effort to hide herself in anything other than folded light as she approached. [/QUOTE]
