Some Kind of Fate

Prologue

The day started off normal. Well, as normal as possible for someone with a telekinetic gift. Kailey Starr stretched and folded the sheets down the bed so that she could move. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed and tapped her right foot on the floor. Today would be her first day in attendance at Sky High School.

"Kailey? Are you up?" her mother's voice echoed inside her head. Kailey nodded and stood up.

"Yes, Mom. I'm up," she called aloud down the stairs. "I'll be down in a bit."

She felt her mother smile inside her head. Gaila Starr was a telepath who could communicate mind-to-mind with others who had powers that complemented hers. It was limiting, but she made good use of it.

"Hurry up then. Breakfast is waiting."

Kailey smiled at the thought of breakfast and bowed her back, stretching every ligament that she possibly could. She lifted her arm and, with a flick of her hand, her closet doors opened wide. Kailey cocked her head, pondering her outfit for the day and finally began rifling through her closet. Moments later she emerged, holding a black tank top with a red star in the center, a black button-up shirt to go over it and a brand new pair of dark blue jeans. She folded the articles of clothing over her forearm and proceeded to the bathroom that was one room over from her bedroom.

Kailey leaned over the edge of the bath tub to get her shower water started, and then went over to the cabinet and set out all of the toiletries that she would need for the morning's preparation. She then went about taking her shower. The shower was a part of her morning routine. She would wake up, stretch, and then stand under the hot spray of her shower for thirty minutes while she washed her hair and let the muscles in her back unknot.

Before she knew it, her water was turning cold. Kailey stretched and yawned one last time before shutting off the shower and stepping out onto the worn blue rug on the bathroom floor. Kailey flipped her head over once and shook it out. When she flipped her hair back over her head, it was completely dry. Her auburn hair fell in layered waves over her shoulders and framed her face as she went about dressing.

Once her clothes were on, and her sleeves rolled up, Kailey gathered her makeup and began to do some light accenting with the items in front of her. She applied some creamy base, a little bit of powder on the spots of her face that ended the day the oiliest, dark grey eye shadow in the crease of her eyes and a lighter shade of grey along the lid, finished off with liquid black eyeliner. She checked that her silver star post earrings were still tight to her ears before continuing her morning ritual.

Kailey had learned nearly a year ago that she could use her abilities to fix her hair, apply her makeup and dress herself, but she preferred to do most of it on her own. Her hair was the only thing that she really hated to do by herself, especially when she was extremely tired. It had only been within the last couple of months that Kailey had found her other powers, and her mother had then decided to transfer her to Sky High from the regular high school that she had been attending.

Kailey had found out about her telekinetic powers when she had had a close call with a drunk driver. She had been shocked to find out that she had stopped the vehicle from barreling into her just by cowering with her arms held out before her. Her mother had been kind enough to help her in controlling that power, but Kailey's version of telekinesis differed from her mother's. Gaila's power was more empathy-oriented, whereas Kailey's was more physical: she could manipulate the placement of objects with her mind. Seven months ago, Kailey had found that she also had the power of invisibility. That was from her father, James Starr.

James Starr had been her mother's sidekick. Shortly after their marriage, Kailey had been born. James and Gaila, on several occasions, had teamed up with Jetstream and The Commander to combat evil. One such fight had stripped James of his powers…and his sanity. In order to take care of Kailey, Gaila had gone inactive. She went to college and earned a degree in engineering, while working on top secret projects for the government. When Kailey turned up with invisibility powers in the middle of her freshman year at a regular high school, Gaila knew that something had to be done. She pulled Kailey out of high school, home schooled her for the rest of the year, and put in an application for Kailey to Sky High. After Kailey had been accepted, Gaila had explained to her daughter that she would have to attend summer school to make up for the year that she was behind. Reluctantly, Kailey had agreed.

As she made her way down the stairs, Kailey frowned. She had been dragging her feet about the change of school for months now. She was leaving all of her friends behind in this transfer, and likely wouldn't see them as much. The thing that she was gaining, however, forced a smile back onto her face: the freedom to not worry about whether her powers would come up at the odd moment and expose her abilities to the wrong people.

"Kailey," her mother's voice came again. "Your breakfast is getting cold!"

"I'm on my way down!" she called as she jogged down the stairs. She went through the kitchen, dumped her dirty laundry into the hamper in the laundry room adjacent to the kitchen and then went back to the table to sit and eat her breakfast. She needed all of the nourishment she could get…it already felt as if it would be a long day.
