On a planet that was mostly unpopulated and had a ton of similarities to Colorado that it was named after the American State, Jaime flew fast over a large blue lake in an attempt to break the sound barrier. She was wearing goggles for protection, along with a flight cape for balance and she was absolutely pushing herself to the very limit. Gritting her teeth and letting out a strained grunt, the Scots-girl found the energy to fly even faster.
At this point she had past the lake and was now flying over several snow capped mountains. 'Come on, come on,' Jaime pushed herself as she flew. 'C'mon, you can do it. I know you can!' Suddenly a loud explosion was heard behind her and it startled Jaime so much she lost her concentration on flying and went tumbling out of the sky.
Within a few seconds she hit the ground, causing a serious land quake while putting a large crater in the ground.
*Jaime! JAIME!* J.D called in her Mind. *What was that? What just happened?* He sounded panicked. Well he would be if he had felt her fall.
With a groan, the Scots-girl sat up and climbed out of the hole she had just made. *I'm fine,* Jaime finally managed to call back. *But I might have just gone Super-sonic.* She sensed elation and pride from the Half-Time Lord, followed by excitement from Jenny and fatherly love from The Doctor.
"Thanks, but if I am to fly Super-sonic I'll need to stay in the air!" Jaime uttered out loud. She wasn't too sure if it had been the loud explosion or the aftershock that had forced her out of the sky. But she knew she would just have to get used to it if she was to fly around Earth as The Black Bullet.
For the past few days, Jaime had been attempting to break through the sound barrier non-stop. At first she was going to use the training room in the TARDIS. Until The Doctor suggested she use a planet that was big enough to train on and came up with Colorado-Kep-10. It was full of rocky mountains and natural parkland that the first colonists to arrive named it after the American State. And what's more, they arrived in the early stages of planetary colonisation so that they wouldn't disturb too many natives.
Unfortunately she was on her own on the flight situation. Both Rose and Jenny had wanted to join her in flight, in a race basically. But when Rose tried to use her telekinesis to gain flight, all she could manage was a couple of inches of hovering off the ground. She apologised before weirdly stating that Wolves weren't meant to fly. And Jaime doubted the Doctor would have let her fly anyway, considering she was pregnant. And despite Jenny having infinite Psionic abilities it didn't seem any type of flight was part of her repertoire. So maybe she was meant to train alone. Good thing she was telepathic though, so that didn't totally leave her all alone.
When Jaime first began her flight training she made the mistake of not keeping her outer shield up, which resulted in a face full of wind. So The Doctor suggested she use protective goggles and gave her a pair of driving goggles. The very same pair he used to use when driving Bessie around. The next problem was performing sharp turns in tight corners. She ridiculed this at first but Jenny told her that flight through tight corners would most likely be a part of the race. So Jaime endured and did her best.
Except whenever she tried a quick turn she would slam into a canyon wall and create big holes while causing earth tremors. It did make her worry she would send the planet off its rotation or maybe the colonists would send an investigation team. Her mum suggested she use a Superman type cape to balance her flight. Amy and Rory suggested HALO flight wings or even flying squirrel type flaps.
Jaime went with the flight cape and the Chameleon Wear technology turned her denim jacket into a dark coloured Batman style cape. It have sleeves for her arms so it was a wee bit similar to a flying squirrel. And when she once again attempted flight in tight corners she found it a lot easier, albeit managing to skim the walls by a mere inch. She managed to crack that in under two hours.
The attempt to go super-sonic was a lot harder than she realised. It took hours upon hours of flying at quick speeds and Jaime didn't think she would be able to manage it. So much so she ended up having a wobble and disappeared into the TARDIS for hours.
It was Alexia and The Doctor who had found her a day later in the Gallifrey garden. Jaime was sitting by the edge of a lake, just chilling out. It took a lot of convincing and A LOT of anger, most of it from Jaime, in order for her to get back to it. Striding out of the TARDIS, with J.D following behind, the Scots-girl stopped, steeled herself and finally kicked off into flight.
And she'd been doing it ever since, pushing herself harder and harder as the hours wore on. The anger ebbed away and it was at this point that she finally broke through the barrier successfully.
Jaime glared down at the crater, almost as if she was offended by it. Well, technically she was. She hated how she always put a dent in the earth with her super-strength. And she hated how she nearly always caused an earthquake when she wasn't being careful.
*Hurry back!* J.D called to her in his excitement, making Jaime smile.
*Will do.* She replied.
About to turn away and kick off back into flight, the Scots-girl suddenly sensed danger and she became alert. "What the hell?" Jaime muttered to herself. "Just what could possibly be dangerous here?" She wondered thoughtfully to herself as her eyes scanned her surroundings far and wide. "C'mon, what's the danger?" Half crouching with a need to flee, Jaime finally spotted the danger in a hillside and her blood ran cold in fear. "NO!" She cried out, eyes widening in horror. "What and how did you get here?" It was a black suited Silent and it was staring right at her. "I dinnae know why you're here, I dinnae know what you want from me," she snarled. "But you ain't gettin' it!"
Twitching, instinct kicked in and Jaime turned tail and ran. She was good at running just as she was good at flying. She could run as fast as a Cheetah and could just about keep up with the fastest Sports car. No-one could beat her when it came to running. Not even Usain Bolt. Well…apart from The Flash, but he was in another Universe.
She had been concentrating on running so much she didn't realise a very worried John was calling to her and getting no reply. This was followed by Rose, Jenny and The Doctor attempting to get through to her.
Seconds later, Jaime came to a skidding halt, right on the edge of a canyon drop. *I'm here!* She called back, taking in deep breaths.
*Are you okay?* The Doctor asked her, concerned, worried. *We could sense your terror and thought something might have happened.*
*I'm fine,* Jaime replied. *Its just…* The Scots-girl looked around at her surroundings and found she couldn't remember why she was running. "Oh! That is really unusual!" She uttered, brows furrowed as she ran her hands through her raven coloured hair.
*What is it, Jaime?* John asked. *What happened?*
*Its nothing,* Jaime brushed the danger off. *Must have been a wild animal. I'm comin' back.* She took several steps backwards before taking off into flight at a run.
