Part One: Telling Mom
She herded her mother into her room, shut and locked the door and window, and then magically soundproofed the room.
"Gwen," Jen Tennyson started nervously, "you're scaring me…"
"Sorry Mom, but Dad would kill him…" she smiled abashedly, moving aside her unusually high collar to reveal that the spot over her pulse line was a mass of bruises and bites, "I told you I'd tell you…"
Jen sat down, on the bed, faintly, "When?"
"Yesterday." Gwen took something out of her pocket and handed it to the older redhead, "Not what you think Mom!" she rushed to assure her mother when she saw the panic, "I'm still on birth control. It's just that the human variety isn't potent enough to work with my alien body…I went to Cooper's a few weeks back 'cause I had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right and he couldn't find any trace of it in my system…lucky huh?"
Jen nodded, a bit stunned.
But before she could say anything an alarm began going off, Gwen pulled out her badge to see an APB for a serial killer, a car skidded to a stop outside the house, honking impatiently and Gwen ran out without a word more.
