[QUOTE="kid A, post: 1575976, member: 11757"] [b]Eleyna Robertson[/b] At first, she thought they had arrived at a decent place to stow the car. She pulled off the road, and waited a moment for Gabe to direct her where to park. When he didn't, when he reached for her instead, she pushed the transmission into park and looked at him. "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" "Gabe, I... what are you talking about?" Memories of about 15 minutes ago came flooding back to her, clearer than they had been in the moments immediately following the incident. Eleyna remembered... what? She remembered hurting. [I]My head and my abdomen.[/I] It had been gone when they were observing the accident. They were trying to decide what to do when... [I]the officer! He knocked on the window - scared the hell out of us.[/I] Slowly, things came back into focus... She and Gabe had both screamed... glass shattered, the officer flew backwards ([I]like he was hit by an oncoming car![/I])... Her mind searched itself until... there it was. She remembered. Her pain had disappeared. [I]I felt better. Healthier than I have since before the hospital. I felt... relief?[/I] "Release." [I]But what did it mean?[/I] Words. They were just words. They may as well have been bubbles, stones, butterflies. Gabe was talking and Eleyna couldn't understand... what was he saying. "Gabe, I..." It was like trying to put together pieces from different puzzles. Nothing seemed to fit. "What? No... I... No... I can't be..." And then, all of a sudden, it hit her. Someone had... it was Gabe... like he had punched her in the stomach. It hurt. Her head, her stomach. Her pain (the nosbleeds, the headaches, the abdominal pain, the hemorrhaging) all of it... it all made sense. She had read a great deal of books about mutants - how their powers manifested, how to spot a manifestation, how to report a mutant - and it all finally added up. The tires on the truck. [I]18 freaking tires - all blown out![/I] The windows - they had exploded outward. Away from she and Gabe. [I]Not a single shard of glass touched us.[/I] She was a mutant. Her powers, whatever the hell they were, they were manifesting. Her world was falling apart. She was a mutant - she was going to be hunted down, and if she was lucky she'd be killed. She and Gabe... Gabe... mutants... both of them... it all made sense. [I]Oh god.[/I] Eleyna went as pale as a ghost. A single word left her lips before she stopped responding to the world around her. "No." [COLOR=Red][SIZE=1](OOC: synch, no worries! i just worked it in. nice post by the way!! good luck with this one!!!)[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
