Faye watched as Robin placed a series of metal balls on the ground. "So I have to lift these?"
"Not quite." Robin stepped back and moved to stand next to Faye. "First lift just one, then two. We can work from there."
"Right." Faye stared intently at the balls. Frowning she pushed the same way she had at the lab.
Faye watched as the doctors moved around the room. She wasn't tied up but they had twisted her knees and she couldn't stand.
Faye froze. Shaking her head she stared at the balls again. Choosing to focus on the one in the middle she thought instead of the first time she floated.
Faye was standing in her room, she couldn't reach the book her mother had left on the top shelf of her bookcase and she wanted to read the next chapter. Mum had left for work and the neighbor that was supposed to be watching her was asleep in the living room. The woman was mean, not violent or anything but she ignored Faye. Faye was staring at the book. If only she could reach it. Faye focused, thinking maybe if she thought hard enough she would grow or something. Faye glared. The book was closer than it used to be. Faye blinked and hit the floor, slipping to the floor with a soft thump Faye blinked again. Looking at the floor Faye glared at it. She lifted slightly. Faye smiled.
Faye smiled softly again and pushed. All the balls floated slightly, so did Robin and the boxes in the corner of the room. Faye was now the only thing not floating in the room. Faye blinked and everything dropped. The boxes shattered and the balls rolled around the room. Robin Dropped into a crouch.
"Well that didn't work." Robin smiled. "Guess we need to work on individual control rather than anything else."
"Sorry." Faye glanced at the boy next to her.
"How did you lift Conner?" Faye blinked.
"I..." Faye glanced at the closest of the metal balls and imagined flicking a switch. The ball hovered about five feet of the ground.
"Right, that is more like it." Robin glanced at another ball. "Can you loft that with out letting the other one fall?" Faye glanced at the ball Robin was pointing too. Frowning Faye flicked another switch, leaving the first switched on. "Cool." The second ball was floating. "Next try attracting them to each other."
"I'm not sure..." Robin smirked.
"If you can make things float your not just switching off gravity, your manipulating it." Faye blinked. He was right.
What she was doing was making the ball attracted to the ceiling rather than the floor, then manipulating the attraction to be balanced so that the ball hung in mid air. Thinking of it this way helped her fiddle with the attraction of the two balls. They floated towards each other, Faye was making sure that the attraction was lessened the closer they got.
"Good." Robin smiled. "Now, lets play catch." Picking up another ball Robin looked at the two floating balls. "I want you to make this ball." Robin held up his hand. "Orbit the other two." Faye narrowed her eyes and nodded. "Go." Robin through the ball and Faye made the first ball pull on the new one. It took effort to get he balance right and Robin had to through a dozen more balls before Faye could get one to orbit the first two balls. With the next few it took less time, with in an hour Faye had six balls rotating around the center two. She was manipulating the attraction on all of them individually, those further out had be more attracted than those further in. The balls also had to be attracted to each other to factor out air resistance. The Balls in the middle were wobbling slightly from the pull of the orbiting satellites. "Does the sun do that?" Robin was pointing to the middle balls.
"Wobble?"
"Yeah."
"Yes." Faye smiled. "The orbiting satellites attract the object their orbiting, this makes it wobble. It's part of how they look for planets orbiting other starts, watching the way the light changes." Faye nodded to the balls. "Can I stop? I'm getting a headache."
"Sure." Robin pulled out a cloth bag. "If you can put them in here it would make it easier." Faye let the first ball fall out of orbit and glanced at the bag. Letting the ball go when it slipped in Faye moved to the next. When the last of the balls had been put away Faye glanced at Robin.
"How long were we working?"
"Five hours."
"What?" Faye blinked. "I'm hungry."
"Lets go eat." Robin smiled. "You get to work with Batman tomorrow.
"Shit."

Faye shifted slightly, sitting up with a gasp Faye let her hand fall to her belly. Faye sighed, smiling she looked down.
Faye woke up slowly, there were voices, frowning slightly she tried to sit up. Faye stilled when she found her hands tied to something. They were hanging slightly above the floor, her legs appeared to be free to move. Pulling down on the thing holding her arms Faye sat up and blinked to bring the world into focus. She was in a Lab again. Faye glanced down. Someone had put her in one of the opened back gowns they use in hospitals. Glancing behind her Faye deduced she was against the back wall of the room, someone had rigged a see through plastic curtain between her and the rest of the room. "She's awake." Faye glanced at the man who called out above the other noise. The room turned to look at her.
"We can't do anything until the tests come back, ignore her." The room turned away again and Faye pulled her self back against the wall.
Faye shook her head and sat up. She needed a drink.
Faye watched as one of the guards brought over a bowl. Another had given her something to drink earlier. The bowl was placed on the outside of the curtain and the guard slipped through. The man didn't speak as he grabbed her leg and pulled. Faye slipped onto her back. The man took her thigh and calf, holding one hand still he twisted the other. Faye screamed as her knee moved in a way it wasn't supposed to. The man let the leg fall and moved to the other one. Repeating the process. Faye didn't scream this time. Biting her lip she glared at the doctor who had been talking to the guard earlier. The guard let her other leg fall and untied her hands. securing the robe to her upper arm he brought the side of his hand down on her opposite shoulder. Faye cried out and hunched over. The guards stood up and brought the food within Faye's reach. Stepping out again he left.
Faye stumbled into the hallway. Heading to the kitchen she tried to clear her mind.
The guards were back and the doctor was carrying a needle in one hand. There had never been more than one guard around her at a time. Faye glared at the doctor. Something in her head shifted and Faye pushed. The doctor started floating slightly, then the guards, then everything and everyone was floating, Faye pushed again and they hit the ceiling. Faye ignored the burning in her shoulder and pulled at the rope around her arm. Getting it lose Faye floated her self to a standing position. Faye ignored the guards shouting from the roof and pushed herself to the door using the walls and hesitantly her own feet. Her ankles were fine but her knees hurt. Getting through she found her self in a hall way, on one side was a cupboard. Pushing against the door and floating over Faye opened the door and found clothes. Pulling out a shirt and pair of sweets she pulled of the gown. Faye continued to ignore her shoulder as she floated through the hallways, attempting to work out how to walk without putting to much wait on her knees. The result was a slow shuffle that involved floating a millimeter of the ground and using her ankles to shift forward. Faye saw light, moving towards the door Faye found her self out side. She pulled the shirt tighter on and glanced around.
Faye stepped into the kitchen and up to the tap. She pulled a glass down and let the water run into it. Taking a long gulp Faye leaned back on the counter. Letting her head fall back slightly Faye stared at the ceiling. Setting the empty glass on the counter Faye walked to the couches. Settling down Faye flopped to one side and closed her eyes. She needed sleep.
