Chapter 3
Time skip: 3 months later:
since that night I have been on the run, and made several discoveries along the way, I have been practicing my powers, keeping a low profile, waiting until the time I can come out of hiding. Over the last several weeks which felt like an eternity I have had many run ins and confrontations, yet I still manage to remain unnoticed, by the world which wishes so much for my safe return, but they do not want me, they want the Eternal Maiden, they want her to save them from what they don't know to protect them and defend them, they want a hero, yet they are willing to settle for a mere child, to force there burdens onto a mere child, yet remain a mere child. Do not misunderstand I am aware that not everyone is like that, it is only the one blinded by ignorance, who think they know best, but they don't. Ever since that night three months ago, I have been the talk of the news, people wondering where I had gone, how I had gone, If I had managed to survive, Asking me to come back, Speculation on whether I left willingly or not, even interviews with heroes and people I once knew, there was a funeral for my mother and I just in case I had passed as well, they did not notice my attendance though pity I always wanted to have a few words at my own funeral. I have a confession to make after researching for a bit I have found that my father hadn't died from drug overdose, my mother hadn't the chance to tell him she was pregnant and he had disappeared. I have discovered that if I concentrate long enough I can change my age temporarily of course so far i can handle one week for every year I add on to my age although I can never take a form over the age of fifteen, I am currently six years of age and have been for a month now. I now know all my powers bar one have physically deteriorating draw backs, and some cause a great amount of pain, the ono ability I have that is an exception is my ability to control electronics which I have always had but assumed it was coincidental or just faulty tech. There are a few powers that I had before that faithful night where the rest were unlocked, I had always had super speed but upon realizing the impossibility of the ability scoffed at my own childish belief that I actually possessed the ability and learned to loath running, another ability I always had was mind control, i never did notice that people did what i asked wether they wanted to or not i was extremely persuasive and manipulative back then, other abilities I always had were mind reading, telepathy, clairvoyance, and empathy I just assumed I was good at guessing, and lastly my ability to control weather which is tied to my emotions which explains why the city I lived in was known for having the most bipolar weather for the last 5 years, thats teenage hormones for you, and lastly I have always had the ability to heal others and relieve or transfer pain. That night I unlocked a few powers Teleportation, some of the elements the strongest of which is electricity due to my previous affinity to the element I also can control fire, water, and air, telekinesis, invisibility, the ability to create forcefields, control time, understand all languages including animals, and I can also partially change my appearance (age, hair and eye colour). Now back to the present, my breathing is ragged as I attempt to catch my breath I peer out of the alleyway at the dinner and my stomach growls I let out a sigh and grimace at the action a sharp intake of breath tells me I require medical attention from a knife lodged in my abdomen hidden by the large hoody i wear, I make my way to the dinner feeling a strange sense of relief for what I don't know I just feel like i am walking somewhere i will be safe and sound. I walk in and the door chimes and everyone turns around to look at me and waiter comes over seat me, I can sense the trepidation in the room and send out a calming feeling using my empathy, and use my mind control to convince the waiter that it is perfectly normal for a six year old to be on their own and ten at night walking into a diner which appears to be anything but family friendly. I place my order of a milkshake with a burger and fries, and the wirer quickly heads off and I settle down in the booth but can't help feeling like I am being watched which does little to ease my six year old fears I feel out with my empathy and after finding no malicious intent, and i calm down. The waiter brings me my food and i feel a wave of nausea hit me but i shove it down and settle for drinking my milkshake and munching on some fries, suddenly someone from the bar rises and sits across from me, i look up and a wave a familiarity hits me as i gape at the wolverine in front of me out of costume. He seems confused as he stares at me, I continue eating my fries as if it was the most normal thing in the world. "What are you doing here alone pup?" he asks, his gruff voice breaks me out of my thoughts, and I am suddenly dragged into a vision which I got tat say is painful and you gotta give me props for not yelling out in pain, although I probably freaked logan out with my glowing blue eyes, Pictures flash in my minds eye my mom and Logan talking and laughing and oh god I need bleach, I am scarred for life make it stop! just as the pictures came they left, and come to seeing Logan break out of his stupor cursing he threw some cash onto the table and picked me up jostling my injuries and I cant help yelp, I may have a high pain tolerance but i am still recovering from that horrifying vision. I seem to startle Logan and he yanks my hoody and shirt up spotting the knife and starts cursing again and I feel a wave of worry come of him like a tsunami. "No worries, just a flesh wound", I attempt to calm him down if only to keep him from causing a seen as he runs out of the dinner and heads to what I am assuming is his motorcycle. He gets on and holds me to his chest one handedly, starting up the bike.
"I am officially scarred for life!", I exclaim dramatically. He seems amused by my exclamations, "why is that?" he asks probably not realizing I was not just joking nor delirious. "I just had a vision of you and my mom naked doing something really weird" my young mind still not comprehending the images, the bike swerves and he seems to regain his barings, and asks "is that so?" seemingly shaken, huh wonder why. "yeah" I reply and feel my gip on consciousness weaken, I barely feel as someone shakes me frantically calling my name frantically as I drift off into the abyss.
