Jean couldn't stop thinking about Kelsy, and did keep her promise to go back at the end of her shift. Kelsy was sitting in her bed playing with a hand held video game.
"Wow, you actually came back Doctor lady," she muttered almost sarcastically.
"Of course I did, Kelsy, why wouldn't I?" Jean asked sitting down in a chair next to Kelsy's bed and smiling at the girl. At least I might be able to help one child, even if I can't do anything else she thought sadly wishing she could make a bigger difference, even though the kids had been kind to her, they hadn't greeted her with smiles and open arms. It's only my first day, it'll get better Jean promised herself as Kelsy looked over at her.
"Because I'm a mutant," Kelsy stated saying the last word as a normal child would say the name of a hated vegetable.
"So am I," Jean replied smiling slightly at the shocked look on Kelsy's face.
"Really? Prove it!" jean nodded and made the video game hover out of Kelsy's hand and onto the table next to the bed.
"Does that prove it?' Kelsy nodded silently looking at Jean with complete awe.
"Wow, that was so cool, can you like move anything?" she asked forgetting to act tough like she didn't care about anyone.
"Yes, I can move most stuff as long as I can concentrate and it's not heavy," Jean answered. "What about you, do you just start fires, or can you control them?"
"I don't know, I just started the one, it was by accident, I really didn't mean to hurt anyone," Kelsy said softly tears building up in her eyes. Jean slowly wrapped an arm around the girl's shoulders.
"I know, I kind of lost it when my powers first showed up, I used to hover my bedroom furnature around in my sleep," Jean whispered causing Kelsy to giggle. Jean smiled happy that she had helped cheer Kelsy up and wondered how old the girl was, she looked about thirteen, but looks didn't always mean something.
