Still in her FlightWear, a frustrated Jaime paced back and forth across the floor of a sports Pavilion. She was agitated and feeling restless. The previous day she had two other Time Trials and she had managed to shave just a couple of seconds off her first Time Trial of the day. So that went from 5:59:10 to 5:59:06. That was the fastest she could push herself, though that was nothing compared to the number one Fastest Flyer of the Time Trials.

The flyer had gotten their Time down to 5:58:57. It did make her wonder who was faster than her and she didn't think she would ever find out until Janine told her the final three would get to meet before the race. And so here she was, pacing back and forth in the Pavilion in a restless way, waiting for the other two to arrive. She'd already been waiting twenty-nine minutes and thirteen seconds.

"Enough of the the pacing already!" Alexia spoke to her daughter as she followed her pacing with her eyes. "You're going to wear a hole in the carpet."

In reply, Jaime just growled and continued to pace.

"Come and sit down." Alexia suggested next, patting the chair next to her.

Jaime stopped her pacing and turned to her mother. "Where are they?" She asked. "This is the place where the final three are supposed tae meet…so where are they 'cause we'll be racin' in half an hour…" She checked her Time Sense. "…twenty-seven minutes and forty seconds." She amended. "Do they think this is a wee game or somethin'?" She started pacing again while muttering things under her breath.

Alexia sighed, shook her head and stood up, then she managed to stop her daughter from pacing. "Look, that's not doing you any good. If you sit down you'll be much calmer." She guided her daughter over to a chair and sat her down.

Jaime didn't exactly calm down though. She had her hands on the arms of the chair and her knuckles were turning white. Alexia thought she heard the sound of wood cracking. Less than minute after the Scots-girl sat down, the Pavilion door opened and two men and two women walked in, causing Jaime to spring to her feet. Unfortunately she took most of the chair with her.

Alexia groaned. "I told you to calm down!" She admonished.

Red faced, Jaime mumbled an apology and placed the broken chair arms back on the chair, then turned to face whoever she was racing against. It wasn't hard to work out who they were since they were both wearing FlightWear. Her two opponents were male, so perhaps the two females were there to support their men. But for the moment shock washed off the four of them.

"By Allah!" One of the men spoke up. "I'd heard the rumours but I didn't think I'd actually witness it!" He said.

Narrowing her eyes and getting the wrong end of the stick, Alexia put a protective arm around Jaime's shoulders. "What? You've never seen a female win a race before?" She questioned.

There was a wave of confusion, followed by a wave of realisation from the man who had spoken. "Oh! No, I didn't mean anything like that," he replied to Alexia. "We heard rumours that she was stronger than she looks…" Jaime felt her mum tense up. "…and it appears those rumours are true!" He aimed a look of fascination towards her and even felt it.

"Is that a problem?" Alexia asked, pulling Jaime closer to her in a protective manner.

The man shook his head. "Not at all, after all she is an Ultimate. It's bound to be a side effect!" He told the woman.

At this, Jaime narrowed her eyes, feeling offended by his words. "Excuse me!" Jaime uttered and pushed her mother away from her. "It ain't a 'side effect'. It's part of me. It's who I am." She glared at the man. "Who are you anyway?" She asked the Palestinian man.

A nervous smile appeared on his face. "Leith Totah." He replied in introduction.

Jaime's eyes widened in realisation. "The Fastest Man on the Planet!" She uttered.

The nervous smile disappeared and Leith perked up. "You've heard of me?" He asked out of surprise, yet he had one hell of an ego practically the size of Jupiter.

"Aye, jus' like how everyone seems tae know 'bout me.' Jaime replied. It was ridiculous. Just two days spent on Falastin and she was already the talk of the town. Not to mention she was becoming part of the history of this planet. That was not what she wanted. The Scots-girl turned her attention to the second man in the room when she felt a hint of disgust from him, while the two females and Alexia gravitated towards each other and began chatting away. "And who are you?" Jaime queried him and felt a little unsure of him. Her senses were tingling.

He was several years older than Leith and his hair was beginning to show early signs of greying. "My name is Shawkeh Saliba." He answered Jaime's question.

She held her hand out towards him. "And I'm Jaime MacInarah." She said, introducing herself.

A nervous chuckle emitted from Shawkeh's mouth and he kept his hands at his sides as a wave of distrust washed off him. "Yes, I know who you are!" He said.

Jaime grinned at the familiarity of the words uttered by him and felt a wave of surprised humour from her mum.

"Nor do I want to risk several broken bones." Shawkeh added, nodding his head at the broken chair.

"Okay, fair enough," The Scots-girl put her arm down at her side. He was giving off some really bad vibes. "But that only happens when I'm nervous or under pressure anyway."

Shawkeh just grunted in reply, feeling wary of the off-worlder.

"So how did you become an Ultimate?" Leith questioned in fascination. "It's the rarest Level anyone could ever manage to get, yet no-one on this Planet has ever reached it."

Jaime smiled grimly and thought carefully over what she wanted to say. "I trained hard, regularly." Was her reply to Leith.

He nodded, appearing satisfied at her answer.

"Yet you apparently only just learned how to fly Super-Sonic," Shawkeh spoke up. "How do you 'train regularly' but forget to train Super-Sonic flight?"

Glaring coldly towards the older Palestinian man, Jaime felt that he was definitely going to be a problem. Especially as it seemed he didn't believe her. "Because I didnae expect tae be wrangled into a race tha' included flyin' Super-Sonic." Jaime answered his question. She could feel that he wasn't too convinced, so she turned her attention back to Leith. She found him way more interesting than the other guy, especially after what Janine told her about him. And they had nineteen long minutes before the actual race started. "So, Leith, tell me 'bout yourself." Jaime queried him.

Leith grinned happily, his ego growing. "I come from the sprawling metropolis of Gaza, in the State of the same name…" He began and continued to talk about himself to great delight.


It was almost time to race. Once the thirty minutes were up and the three participants got to know each other, they left the Pavilion and walked towards the start line. On either side of them, people were cheering for them, but Jaime knew they were just cheering for their fellow Palestinians. The Scots-girl hung back with a hint of a smile, watching as the two participants waved to their adoring crowd.

Having chatted to them, though Shawkeh was more reluctant to speak than Leith was, she found out that Leith was a Firefighter from a very large city on the far side of Falastin. In order to fly faster than everybody else he had trained non-stop. Apparently he really wanted to help his ancestors and 'keep them safe'. His family were somewhere in this crowd 'full of pride' for him.

Meanwhile Shawkeh was a different story and it gave Jaime cause to worry. He was more local from Bethlehem City and he was a part time labourer who trained when he got the chance too. All he wanted to do was reek revenge on those that were oppressing his ancestors. So along with her tingling senses and the bad vibes, Jaime really didn't like his thought process, nor did she want any of these people going back in time to wage a revenge war.

The three race participants walked onto a stage near the Start Line where they would be introduced to the masses.

"Welcome to the final of the 298th Super-Sonic Race," the announcer loudly said over the noise of the crowd. "Over two days we've narrowed down our 3,298 participants to just three." The crowd cheered and Jaime felt waves of happiness from them. "For the third year running we have Falastin's Fastest Man," the announcer continued. "From Gaza Country, Leith Totah."

The crowd went wild, cheering madly for the very popular young man. However, Jaime could also feel waves of jealousy from Shawkeh. As a grinning Leith waved at the crowd, Jaime took a quick concerning glance at Shawkeh. He didn't look all that happy.

"From the City of Bethlehem, Shawkeh Saliba." The man only got half of the reaction that Leith got, which caused a spike in his jealousy of the younger man.

Feeling a sense of danger now, The Omni listened in to what Shawkeh was thinking about. And it wasn't good, it really wasn't good at all.

"And for the first time ever in the history of the Super-Sonic Race, off-worlder Jaime MacInarah." She smiled grimly and waved despite the mixed reaction she received. Now she was getting a really bad feeling as her Time Sense and Timelines started kicking up a fuss.

Waves and waves of jealousy was washing off Shawkeh.

*Can you feel that?* J.D mentally questioned. *What's going on?* He could feel what she was feeling, but wasn't the only one to notice.

She could tell that Jenny, Rose and The Doctor had sensed it as well. *Got a wee bit of a problem here!* Jaime replied.

"Our three competitors will be racing against each other for ten laps." The announcer spoke to the crowd and Jaime gasped. Ten laps? There were ten laps of this race she had to go through while trying to protect Leith?

*There could be a murder 'bout tae happen.* Confusion and worry could be felt through the connection as Jaime kept her eyes on Shawkeh.

*What?* John replied. *What's happening?*

in a bid to speak to everyone else at the same time, Jaime pulled them all into a group chat. *It turns out that Leith is extremely important for the future of Falastin,* Jaime told them. *'Cept Shawkeh is jealous of Leith's popularity and wants tae kill him so he can win the race.*

She could sense shock and disbelief, even concern from Jenny, Rose, The Doctor and John.

*You can't let that happen,* The Doctor answered back, his voice sounding urgent and worried. *You need to stop him.*

*I'll try my best.* Jaime told him, taking her eyes off Shawkeh as he looked over at her. She caught his thoughts about her and realised she was in just as much danger as Leith was. So she glared at him, giving him an 'I dare you!' look. *I will definitely do my best. I will not let him break Time.*

Feeling slightly intimidated, Shawkeh looked away while still thinking of ways to dispose of his two opponents. Jaime shook her head in disgust.

*Will you be okay?* J.D asked, obviously worried.

*Aye, I'll be jus' dandy.* Jaime replied.

*Be careful,* The Doctor warned. *And good luck.*

Jaime smiled at this. *Thanks, I will.* She answered back.


Soon it was time for the three competitors to start racing. They walked over to the Start Line ready to fly. As she stood by, waiting, Jaime pulled the hood up of the FlightWear she was wearing. As did Leith and Shawkeh shortly after.

"Are you ready?" The announcer called out and the three opponents acknowledged they were. "Get set…"

To Jaime's surprise she watched as both men used their hands as thrusters to float via telekinesis. Of course, they didn't have the Psionic capability like herself had when it came floating and flying. They were just telekinetic while Jaime had so much more. Maybe that's why she had felt confusion from the race official when she first started doing this. She looked around at the crowd when she heard their laughter and smiled sheepishly.

"GO!" The announcer shouted and the two men sped off into flight.

Jaime watched this in dismay before running and kicking off into flight.

The Omni raced after her two opponents, watching and listening as Leith went Super-Sonic in a matter of seconds. She and Shawkeh were hit the shockwave, causing them to slow down a little. A wave of anger and jealousy washed off the older man and he managed to speed up. Less than a minute later he too hit Super-Sonic. Once again The Omni was impeded by the shockwave and that annoyed her because she was too far away from them.

Concentrating deeply, The Omni flew even faster, dodging obstacles and expertly skimming corners along the way. She could see she was catching her opponents up, but she still wasn't fast enough. She really needed to catch them up because she could feel her danger senses tingling away and getting stronger by the second. If she wasn't careful she might end up causing a whole colony of people to disappear and she really didn't want that happening. So she pushed herself to the limit in a bid to catch them up. It didn't take much to reach Super-Sonic speed and she rode on the shockwave, almost reaching her two opponents.

In the crowd the Time Travellers were all watching with baited breath, alongside Janine, Haifa, Ramallah and several other members of their family as the three competitors raced along the course.

"Oh, I can't bare to watch," Alexia cried out, hands over her eyes. "How is Jaime doing?"

"The race has barely even started!" Amy said from beside her. "But that Leith fella is way ahead of everyone else."

The Doctor was staring at the HoloScreen with a grim expression. It was split into three screens showing the point of view of what each competitor was seeing. The first screen was of Leith and the Mile-o-meter was at 768. Thst meant he had to going at 1,236km per hour. Which was really quite astonishing considering it was a human flying and not a vehicle. The second screen showed that the other competitor was 100 miles slower but he was catching up with Leith. The third screen showed that Jaime was 150 miles slower than Leith, but she was gaining speed.

Though the Doctor felt as if the whole race was on a knife edge. His Time Senses were off-kilter and the Timeline was stretched taut. It felt as if the end was coming. "If Jaime doesn't get a move on soon these people won't have much of a future!" The Doctor groaned out. He could sense that Jenny and Rose were feeling the same thing so he put his arms around their shoulders in comfort.

Through their TARDIS-like connection, J.D could feel and sense everything that Jaime could feel and he was feeling rather restless, along with bouts of dizziness, so he was leaning on Rory.

Meanwhile, The Omni had just about caught up with Shawkeh and she was keeping her eyes on the man for anything dodgy. But then he pulled ahead of her once again and he was out of her reach.

Back down below, The Doctor continued to keep his eyes on the HoloScreen. He noticed Shawkeh had sped up a little, but now Leith was suddenly reducing speed. That shouldn't be possible, unless the young man was being impeded. The Time Lord's eyes widened and he gasped loudly as the Timeline was pulled even more taut.

Beside him, Rose groaned out and put her hands on her head. Jenny's expression was at its grimmest.

Above them, Leith and Shawkeh passed them by, followed by a Sonic Boom as the crowd wildly cheered them on. A couple seconds later Jaime passed by next, leaving a Sonic Boom in her wake. The three competitors were on Lap 2. Urgently The Doctor sent a message to The Omni.


*Hurry, Jaime. It looks like Shawkeh is deliberately slowing down Leith. You need to stop him NOW!*

The Scots-girl practically heard The Doctor shout out in her Mind. She narrowed her eyes and sent back several waves of annoyance at The Doctor. She had been trying to do that for the last few minutes! With a quick burst of speed, The Omni flew closer to Shawkeh, and when she saw her chance come up she closed her eyes and concentrated.

Suddenly Shawkeh found himself veering off course a little before being completely flung off the course and slamming into a tree. He grunted painfully and fell to the ground, stunned.

Rose gasped out, along with the crowd when they saw what happened. But her reason was entirely different. The loosening of the Timeline made her stomach flutter and she put her hand over it to calm it and the growing baby, listening as the announcer puzzled over Shawkeh's crash.

"Are you okay?" The Doctor questioned, looking at her with a worried expression.

Rose looked back at him with a half smile. "For now, yeah." She replied and hoped Jaime kept Shawkeh from doing any damage.

"That puts Jaime in second place," the announcers commentary was followed by a not quite happy reaction from the crowd. "But we still have Leith Totah in first place and still gaining momentum." This was followed by a wild cheer from the crowd.

As Jaime continued to speed on she was thankful that Shawkeh only got a good stunning. But she knew he would be back at it again, so she had to watch out for him. Ahead of her was Leith, who remained out of her range. It still amazed her how he could fly faster than her. There was just something so different about him.

After dodging obstacles, rounding corners and zooming past the giant Rocket, Jaime saw Leith look back towards her for a moment before pulling away once again. Letting out a snort of humour, Jaime realised the guy must have trained quite hard in order to be THIS fast. Speeding after Leith, the Scots-girl really wanted to catch up with him, but she didn't want to beat him, just give him a run for his money. Especially as it looked like she was gaining on him.

The next few minutes almost seemed like an aerial dogfight between the two competitors. Sometimes Jaime flew quick enough to race side by side with Leith, but he always pulled away from her seconds later. Jaime didn't mind this. By the time they were halfway through Lap 3, the Scots-girl felt a sense of danger and looked back. Shawkeh had rejoined the race and was rapidly gaining on them. She could feel waves of anger washing off him.

Taking on a grim expression, Jaime let Leith fly ahead of her so she could do battle with Shawkeh, or so she thought! The older man went blasting past her, the shockwave of his Sonic Boom almost knocking her off the course. "Och, for the love of Sanity!" Jaime muttered and zoomed after him, riding on her shockwave. She was annoyed that she had to stop Shawkeh all over again.

"Oh, blimey!" Rose moaned as she felt the Timeline tighten up again.

*Jaime!* The Doctor warned, pulling Rose closer to him.

*Yeah, yeah…* The Scots-girl thought back at the Time Lord as she flew after her two opponents.

They were into Lap 4 now, and Jaime felt if she had to stop him from causing so much trouble she had to play him at his own game. But first…she was able to catch up with him and they soon jostled for second place as Leith flew ahead of them. Sadly Shawkeh had enough of playing about and elbowed Jaime quite hard in the head. It stunned her the a moment and she started falling to the ground.

The Time Travellers, Janine's family and the crowd gasped when they saw this.

"Oh, ouch! It's well known for friendly rivalries to get violent as demonstrated right now." The commentator stated.

Seconds before she could hit the ground, Jaime got a control of herself and she skimmed the lake. More than a little angry, she started rising to rejoin the race. And in doing so she slammed into Shawkeh so hard she sent him flying backwards, then raced after Leith. Jaime wasn't all that surprised that the older man had struck out at her like that, after all he did want to kill his two competitors. Still angry as she raced towards the younger man, she decided she was going to teach Shawkeh a lesson once he rejoined the race.


They were now into Lap 8 and Jaime was once again in a dogfight with Leith, vying for first place but secretly letting him get ahead of her every time. Earlier she had already dealt with Shawkeh. When he eventually did rejoin the race he was gunning for Jaime, just as pissed off as she was. But The Omni had been ready for him, her danger senses rocketing as he'd neared her. Expertly dodging out of Shawkeh's way she was able to tether him and telepathically forced him to slow down.

And that was what he was doing now, following behind Jaime. But she could sense he was trying to fight the Mind Control by speeding up, only to slow down again. Soon they were into Lap 9 and Jaime watched in astonishment as Leith pulled away from her in a blur, the shockwave of him reaching Hyper-Sonic slowing her down for the moment. "Woah!" Jaime gasped out as she felt his Timeline click into place.

Feeling the change in his Time Senses, The Doctor stared at the HoloScreen with his mouth open. It should be nigh on impossible for a person to reach over 3,800MPH just by flying without any sort of vehicle. Yet here it was for all to see. Leith Totah had reached Mach 5. He was now flying Hyper-Sonic. "Blimey!" The Time Lord uttered.

"Woah! Look at him go!" Amy exclaimed as she, Rory, J.D and Alexia watched in disbelief as the view on the HoloScreen became a blur. Even the announcer commented on Leith's speed in amazement.

"He's going at a canny speed like!" Alexia stated.

"Doctor, can you feel that?" Rose queried the Time Lord.

The Doctor nodded his head, still feeling confused about the differences in the Timeline and his Time Senses as Leith zoomed by above them.

Back in the race and Jaime flew as fast as she could after Leith, though she knew there was no way she would be able to catch up with him now. He'd gone Hyper-Sonic, which meant he was currently the second Ultimate Level telekinetic on this planet. And not only that, but his change in T.K Level had caused a change in the Timeline…which meant the Palestinians of the past had a much brighter future.

He was out of her sight before she knew it and by the time she entered the 10th and last Lap, Leith zoomed right past her and Shawkeh. "Bloody hell!" Jaime cried out when she was nearly blown off course.

As for Leith he managed to finish the race first, flying around the last Lap in a matter of seconds. He flew through the Finish Line and landed on his feet in a stealthy way. The crowd cheered him as he bowed and waved, a shit-eating grin on his face. He was announced as the winner of the race and the cheering crowd got louder. The woman who'd been with him before the race ran to him where they hugged and kissed.

Meanwhile, The Omni let Shawkeh fly ahead of her and he came in at 2nd place. Jaime crossed the Finish Line in 3rd place, but when she landed she caused a brief land tremor. People looked over at her, used to them by now, as various waves of emotions washed off them. Jaime grimaced and apologised. It was really annoying her something chronic at this point how she kept causing earthquakes with her feet.

In a matter of seconds Jenny appeared beside the Scots-girl via Flash-Step and hugged her sister. "That was brilliant!" Jenny said as Jaime hugged her in return. "But why did you let Shawkeh take second place?"

Looking over at the older male competitor, Jaime could feel waves of confusion washing off him. The woman from earlier, likely to be his wife, was happily talking to him, gave him a quick kiss followed by a hug, yet he didn't react in the same way. It made Jaime wonder if he was normally like that or maybe his lethargic behaviour was down to the tether.

She pulled away from Jenny in order to answer her question. "Maybe 'cause I dinnae need tae prove myself." She replied and looked over at Shawkeh again when she felt that the woman was scared of him. "And despite wha' he tried tae do he doesnae need tae be any more humiliated."

Jenny nodded her head in understanding and before the rest of the Time Travellers could join them, all three competitors were called to the podium.

While Leith stood in the middle of the podium, Jaime stood on his left and Shawkeh stood on his right. Once the large crowd was gathered, Leith was announced as the winner of the year's second Super-Sonic race and he was given a mic to speak to the cheering crowd.

"Thank you!" Leith spoke as loud as he could over the noise. "Thank you for having so much faith in me. I trained daily non-stop for this race and I will make you all proud of me once I go back and help our ancestors, Inshallah!"

The Scots-girl grinned at Leith's words but was a wee bit worried when she felt Shawkeh's anger flair up again. It was obvious he was still jealous and when she looked at him he was glaring daggers at his opponent. That was not good. 'Calm down.' Jaime sent along the tether and saw him visibly relax, the feeling of anger melting away for the moment.

Once the crowd was less rowdy and less focused on Leith, Jaime halted him from exiting the podium. "We really need tae talk." She told the young man.

Leith frowned, waves of confusion washing off him. "Yes? What do you want?" He spoke in return.

"I need you tae understand. Once you get tae Earth, your jurisdiction is the Palestine territories and Israel only, nowhere else."

Leith was confused at first until a wave of anger washed off him. "What? Why? Why the hell should I?" He demanded rather angrily.

"'Cause you'll understand once you reach Earth." Jaime told him, but her answer didn't satisfy him.

"No, I won't. What am I supposed to understand? Why do you want me to stay in one place?"

Sighing, Jaime wished she didn't need to explain everything to him.

"Okay, listen," she began. "You and the other telekinetics won't be the only super-powered people on Earth. There's a Superhero there called The Black Bullet who rescues people and stops crimes. Only she is highly sensitive tae the world so she cannae get near the Pakestine territories or Israel. Tha' is your jurisdiction and she looks after the rest of the world."

The stunned expression on Leith's face said it all. He was surprised and then intrigued. "How do you know this? Do you think we'll meet her at some point?"

Jaime smiled slightly, knowing that in the future she would meet all of the future Palestinians. "Who knows!" She replied. "Maybe you will. As for us, we travel tae Earth a lot…it's an interesting planet. Good luck on your travels." Jaime told the young man and then shook his hand before quickly stepping off the stage and joining the Time Travelling troupe.
