December 22 2018- Alizet Age 15- Danny Age 28
"So... um... what am I? Alizet bit her thumb, unable to quell the shaking of her legs as Maddie Fenton thumbed through her charts. The older women looked up at her, smiling kindly. "Is that a good smile, or I want to dissect you on my table smile?" The fear was too much, the sterile drug filled air overwhelming. She closed her eyes, struggling to maintain her breathing even as the world swirled around her.
Cold hands gripped her, pulling her close to a cold plastic chest. Oddly it was comforting and she managed to open her eyes, seeing the familiar face of Valerie. The Huntress held her close, chin on her head. " It's okay... we are not going to hurt you."
Absently, Alizet looked around her room and was horrified to see it utterly destroyed. "It's like a twister... did I do this?"
Maddie, who was on the floor, popped up and nodded. "Yes, it seems you are quite powerful." She didn't seem even a little bothered that she had apparently been tossed around like a pingpong ball. "Like I was about to tell you, your powers seem to be centered in your mind. When I scanned your brain, everything was lighting up. You process information at frightening speeds, too fast actually. That is what caused your seizures as a child, the information was overwhelming you. You also seem to have some capacity for empathy, and obviously psychokinesis."
"Umm... I've been in the hospital most of my life, not too aware of that what means..."
Maddie chuckled at her. "You can read emotions, and you can control things with your mind. You also can pick up lingering thoughts and current thoughts, that is telepathy... this is a wild guess, but you might be a psychic. Corny but it fits." She walked over to the bed, sitting on the edge and put her hand on Alizet's thigh in a oddly maternal gesture.
Waves of honest love, mixed with suspicion and something Alizet couldn't identify hit her. Tears fell down her face and she barreled into the women, holding her close. Embarrased, she pulled back. " Sorry, I just... I can feel that you really care. I am not really used to that. It is kind of a lot for me..." She flushed, turning away. " Um... Valerie... Am I allowed to stay?"
The Huntress nodded. "Yes, Danny is having your guardianship transferred to Jazz. She is the Head of our Ghost Rehab." Alizet must have shown just how confused she was, as Valerie chuckled. "Sorry... since Danny came out as a Half Ghost, hundreds of people have come to use, reporting similar abilities. Some stronger then others... we created this center to help people control their abilities or not fall to evil."
A frown came to Alizet's face. " That... why don't we all know about this? I mean..." She froze, trickles of thoughts came to her from Valerie in tiny Whispers. "They die... most are unstable..."
Valerie and Maddie both froze, flinched and nodded. "Yes... most die. Half humans require powerful bodies and wills, otherwise the ectoplasm rips them apart. It's why so few people knew about Half Ghosts. They've existed in the past too, old graves show signs of... ectoplasm..." She froze, ripping away from Alizet. A tiny thread of purple connected t them. It shattered in an instant, dispersing to the winds. " I am going to assume you didn't know you could control me...
Horrified, Alizet turned and sighed. "I knew I could do it, I mean it's how I managed to get this far. I just can't control it yet. Sometimes it just happens, like I really want something and people start giving me it. I grabbed a lady's hand and she suddenly handed me money to get on the bus." Sighing more, she turned away. " I am not really sure how it all works, I just know I can do it. Sometimes more... like, I can feel people and energy. I mean this place, it's buzzing. Like one of those lights that zap bugs, a hum of weird green power through the walls." Turning, she looked at the walls, following the delicate webbing of green. "They don't cast shadows though, that's kind of weird."
'That's... a lot. She could be very powerful, we can't let the Men in White get a hold of her.' Valerie put on a smile once more, sitting on the window sill next to the girl, making sure not to touch her. "Danny and Sam have been teaching the others to use their powers. Your not a ghost but your powers aren't too different, maybe we can see if you can mimic or learn from Danny."
Maddie seemed to understand what she was doing, the Fifty plus year old lady nodded. "She's right, and we have a lot of Ghost tech. If anything goes wrong, we can keep everyone, including you safe."
"Thank you... both of you."
Maddie chuckled again. "Not a problem. Now, go take a shower. You have clothes in there, Valerie picked them out for you. In an hour you are going to talk to Jazz, so make sure your ready, okay?"
As the girl hurried to the bathroom, clearly desperate for a shower, Valerie turned to Maddie. " What are you hiding? I have been working with you for more then a decade. You wouldn't have been so eager to talk to her without a good reason."
Sighing, Maddie pulled out a USB. "Level Six Encryption. Not even Tucker can get in..." She stepped closer. " I think she was being experimented on. Her body shows signs of all sorts of damaged and procedures. The biggest problem is genetics... her DNA repels ectoplasm. She is like a reverse Ghost. When I put her blood sample in the lab, all of the samples in there wavered, some outright degraded... I... I am not sure it is safe to have her here...
" Then what can we do?"
Maddie's eyes went cold. "Help her until she becomes a threat... then deal with her anyway we have to."
