Stephanie's pov

My siblings woke around 10.30am to the smells of pancake , waffles and bacon drifting through the apartment, a meal we had got accustomed to in our time in America, they sleepily drifted into the kitchen where I'd just finished making breakfast for them as my treat.

It's the first day off they've had at the same time, and I had decided when i awoke from a nightmare less sleep to make them breakfast and much to all our surprises nothing was burnt, and I only say that as in previous years I've burnt many things and have been known to not cook, but my time off has given me practice, this practice included me finding out how the hob worked after I'd given up and put boiling water with pasta in , in the oven.

After the pretty good breakfast we decided to play some games and watch some films before having a late lunch and early dinner at a restaurant, some of the games included Uno, snakes and ladders , cards against humanity and the game of life, I know what your thinking and we banned the agruement game of monopoly 4 years ago due to reasons we no longer discuss.
The film's we watched where lion king and Hamilton, since wearing hearing aids I've worked out they arnt good for me to hear tv so I turned them off, and my siblings kindly put on the subtitles, which may I add ruin the effects of a good film, once we did all that the time was 14.38 and we decided to head out, and I got reminded to turn on my hearing aids.

We walked a block to our favourite restaurant, El Mexican Place.
Ollie ordered ribs , chips and salsa salad , I ordered an enchilada with rice and chips and Caitlin ordered a chimichanga with rice and chips , Caitlin also had a side of tortillas as she doesn't like desserts, where as me and Ollie very much do and ordered Carmel flan and churos.

After our meal we started to walk back, when we got to a cross roads a car ran the red and hit a car going across, this caused a small bang, or at least that was what I heard, seeing this shrouded my vision with memories of being hit by a car running a red light but also the explosion in our old apartment.

My breathing became jagged , my lungs felt like they where pierced with cold, I could hear my heart thumping, and my legs felt wobbly.

Warm arms engulfed me from either side, my siblings leading me to an alleyway as my eyes stung with tears , they said comforting things to me but it wasn't working my breath still rapid, my eyes blurry , my head fuzzy, my body tingling slightly.

If I wasn't in a horrible shocked panicked state i would've realized my powers starting up, the tingling sensation spreading through every corner ready to glitch or in other words teleport, but I wasn't focused at all , I was breaking , all I wanted in that moment was somewhere that had the safety I needed.

And in a flash we disappeared from the alleyway...
