(Jane's Pov)
I woke up slowly every muscle in my body screaming in pain. Man, I really had to quite my second no-paying job. It caused me pain. While on said "job" I happened to be on a roof of a two story building when I realized that someone was with me and 5 seconds latter I ended up on the very solid ground, but I will not talk about it…yet. Now I had a headache. That much was clear and the loud sounds of New York's city streets were not helping. I stepped over random objects half asleep, in my messy apartment to get to the medicine cabinet. I suddenly tripped face first and gave short gasp ready to hit the tile stair and snap my neck...when the pain didn't come. Now wide awake I realized I was floating just inches above it. "That was close" I thought nervously thankful for my gift. My name is Jane Carter, I am 18, I have no family, and I am one of the 20,000 mutants who live in the world secretly. I telekinetic in the sense that I can move things with my mind and so far counting right now has saved my life over 30 times from my clumsy self. I have one other gift but that's for later as well. I was short and could be pretty if I actually tried, although I really didn't care about my appearance if I didn't have to. I lived my daily life unnoticed and reasonably happy. After picking myself up I moved the shoe accountable for my almost death and got dressed. I grabbed breakfast before running out the door to my job at a small bookstore down a few blocks run by a nice old woman.
No sooner had I stepped on the side walk did I see the monster. It was a giant robot 50 feet tall and it was going on a rampage down the street. Sadly this was not uncommon. Like mutants some people were also gifted, not with super powers but with off the charts . Here was one said person in action and all most people could do was rush inside and wait for a Super Hero to come or the Task Force, a group of police that were trained for this kind of stuff. Many of the citizens in cars were fleeing them and escaping just as the Avengers came out of a helicopter. I just stared as they charged the machine. Suddenly it picked up a school bus that was pinned in between two cars and threw it along with 4 other cars all with people inside at them. It happened too fast. The heroes couldn't do anything. Those people were going to die. Before I knew what I was doing I shouted "NO" with all my might willing something to happen. The world seemed to freeze. Nothing moved and I realized that my arms were raised. Carefully I lowered them only to see then vehicles land gently on the ground. The Avengers, now able to move as well, tackled the robot fighting it. The fight was over in less than a minute with the man behind it all captured. They checked to see if anyone was seriously injured. Luckily no one was. I saw Captain America look around the road probably to find the source of the telekinesis. At that point I had turned around and started to walk to work, somewhat happy that I saved some people's lives. I didn't think of the consequences then but I really should have.
So that's the prequel. If you like it you should follow it or review. PLEASE! The next chapter is going to be much better and longer I promise. So peace out!
