Chapter 1
"Alright Allie, finish with a dismount and you're done for the day," Molly said as she watched the young girl on the beam in front of her. She'd taken up the assistant coaching position when she'd moved to the area and had taken on the closing shift that day, deciding to stay behind at the end and work on her own gymnastics.
"Molly, can I stay for a bit and get a lift home with you later? Mum's working late," Allie asked as she followed Molly in to the coaching office.
"Sure kid, just don't go injuring yourself," Molly replied as she took off her jacket and trainers before heading out in to the gym herself and hoisting herself up on to the beam.
The two of them trained side by side for a good hour or so before Molly stopped and headed to the men's parallel bars to stretch out. Allie watched Molly for a moment before heading over to her coach and leaning on the bar in front of her.
"Did you want something?" Molly asked as she raised an eyebrow at the young girl who was now just watching her.
"You said we can talk to you about anything didn't you," Allie said, resting her head on her arms as she leaned on the bar.
"Yeah I did, why?" Molly asked, standing up properly, guessing this was something important.
"Well, what if something happened that I couldn't really explain. Something odd," Allie said as she walked round the bar so she was standing in front of Molly.
"Then I'd want you to tell me," Molly said as she looked at the girl before adding, "what's going on Allie?"
"I think I'm telekinetic," Allie said to which Molly simply nodded.
"What did you do?" Molly asked as she led Allie in to the office.
"I got angry at my dad and thinks started shaking and falling over. He said it was just a freak earthquake but I know I did it," Allie said to which Molly nodded. She'd lived in England for 2 years and hadn't come across another mutant.
"Okay, can you move anything in here?" Molly asked as she sat down.
"Do you not believe me?" Allie asked as she looked at Molly again, this time looking a little upset.
"No Allie, I believe you, I want to know how much control you have," Molly said as she got up again and headed over to the young girl, "just try and shut the blinds."
Allie stared at the blinds and attempted to shut them. Instead of the blinds moving across the windows, the glass pane in the window exploded.
"Okay, no control. We're gonna need to have a chat with your parents," Molly said, before pulling on her trainers and jackets and instructing Allie to do the same.
The two of them got in the car outside the gym and Molly drove Allie to her house, getting out the car with her and heading up to the house.
The door opened to reveal Allie's mum, still in her nurse's scrubs.
"Mrs Birne," Molly said as she nodded to Allie's mum.
"Ah Molly, thank you for giving Allie a lift again, do you want to come in for a cup of tea?" Allie's mother asked to which Molly nodded and headed in with Allie.
Allie's family lived up the street from Molly and she'd given Allie a lift home on quite a few occasions.
"I need to speak to both you and Mr Birne, it involves Allie, nothing bad but it does need to be discussed," Molly said as she headed in.
"Well come in to the kitchen and we can talk over a cup of tea," Mrs Birne replied, leading Molly to the kitchen with Allie in tow.
"Is this to do with the other day? Allie I told you, it was probably just an untimely earthquake," Her father said from where he was at the kitchen table.
"I beg to differ Mr Birne. There's a group of people in the world known as mutants. They're all pretty much normal people except with talents and gifts. I believe Allie to be one of them," Molly said as she took the tea from Mrs Birne and thanked her.
"You believe Allie to be a mutant? Tell me Molly, have you ever met one of these so called mutants?" Mr Birne asked her, obviously not believing her.
"Mr Birne, with all due respect, I am one. I went to school for mutants. My adoptive father is a mutant. This is what I wanted to talk to you about. If Allie is telekinetic as I believe her to be then untrained her ability could spiral out of control. The school I went to teach people like Allie to control their ability in a safe manor whilst also teaching them the normal things like math and science. They have a private gym too," Molly added as she looked at Allie who was looking a little worried.
"So you're a mutant?" Mrs Birne asked as she sat down.
"Yes, I have the ability to heal, and claws, not that I use them often," Molly said as she smiled.
"Claws?" Mr Birne asked.
"Claws," Molly replied before letting her claws come out and withdrawing them again, "look, I wouldn't be telling you all this unless I thought Allie was in danger. If she doesn't learn to control her ability and it starts to control her there are people that deal with rogue mutants and they don't deal with them nicely."
"Allie? What do you think about this?" Her mother asked.
"I don't know, will you be coming with me?" Allie asked as she looked at Molly.
"I… It…" Molly started before sighing.
"Look, I'm happy to let Allie go if she wants to go but I want you to go with her. She's our baby girl," Mr Birne said as he smiled at Allie.
"I'll do whatever I can," Molly said, looking at Allie who smiled a little. She reminded Molly of Kristy, a young gymnast who had lived at the school that had died on Molly's watch.
"Thank you," Allie said as she hugged Molly who hugged Allie back before drinking her tea and standing up.
"It's not a problem Allie, We'll leave on Sunday unless something crops up, it's their holiday so it'll give you some time to settle in before term begin," Molly said before nodding to the parents and heading home to book their flights.
Sunday came all too soon. Molly picked Allie up from her parents and the two of them drove to the airport in companionable silence. They shopped a little before they headed on to the plane, both of them with enough chocolate to last them the flight.
Molly had shown her parents the school website and explained to them how it worked. They got the papers Molly needed for Allie and handed them over in a small plastic wallet before handing her another document stating that whilst Allie was travelling Molly was her legal guardian.
"Molly," Allie said, as they sat in their seats, ready to take off, "what if they don't want me there?"
"They'll want you there. Besides, it they don't I'll beat them up for you," Molly replied as she smiled at Allie and gave her a one armed hug.
"Seriously, what if they do some test and find out I'm not a mutant?" Allie asked, obviously worried.
"Listen to me Allie," Molly started, "you managed to implode a double glazed pane of glass without any training. There's no doubt that you're a mutant and I'll be with you every step of the way."
The two of them sat and watched out the window as the plane took off before Allie turned to Molly and simply said, "Thank you."
