I went in the bathroom The oversize porcelain tub had a built-in seat, so I rested my head on a pillow, while I swept my hand back and forth through the water. Slap. Slap-slap. Slap-slap-slap. The water sloshed up against the side of the tub, but the soft sounds echoed in my mind, growing louder and louder. Recognition and dread filled me. I might be getting better at keeping other people’s thoughts and feelings from overwhelming my mind and freezing my body, but that didn’t stop other things from triggering my magic.

Words, colors, tastes, scents. Sometimes, the faintest whisper of sound was enough to make my magic veer wildly out of control—like the sloshing water that was swiftly morphing into a dull, steady, ominous roar . . . I jerked upright to climb out of the tub, but the bathroom around me melted away, and suddenly, I was standing in my usual clothes at the edge of a rushing river, listening to the water slap-slap-slap against the rocks— “Damn it!” a voice snarled. I turned around. A few feet away, a girl with brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin was glaring at the river. The girl was wearing a gray cloak over a gray tunic, along with black leggings and boots, although the stolen clothes were all far too big and covered with dirt and grime. I sighed, knowing the girl couldn’t see or hear me.
In addition to my mind magier magic, I had also inherited a bit of power from my mother, pepper potts, who had been a time magier. My mother had usually gotten glimpses of the future, but more often than not, my magic shoved me back into the past, making me relive all the horrible things that had happened with me at the age of 12 . Earlier today in Sam's room , I’d seen brief flickering images of my i agents . But all I could do now was wait for my magic to calm down and for the memory to spit me back out into the present. So I sighed and sat down on a boulder to watch the show, as it were. “A river?” the girl muttered to herself. “You’vegot to be kidding me.” I mouthed the words along with her. After all, she was me, or rather arps,

as I thought of this twelve-year-old version of myself. Arps paced back and forth, searching for bootprints in the mud that oozed between the boulders, but she didn’t find any. Frustration pinched her face, and she kicked a rock, making it skip into the water. Arps glared at the river again, then let out a breath and closed her eyes. “Alvis, Xenia,” arps muttered. “Where are you?” Her magic curled around her body, gathering strength, then streaked outward, like tiny spools of thread unwinding into the woods. I eyed arps, the river, and the trees, trying to place exactly where and when I was. Ah, yes, this was the morning when some hydra agents had  rushed into our camp. Xenia had told me to run while she and Alvis battled the men, and I had darted into the woods like a deer fleeing from a pack of hungry greywolves.

Arps strained with all her might and magic, but she didn’t sense Alvis’s and Xenia’s familiar presences. No signs of life. No whispers of thought. Only thin fragments of sounds. Nothing that would tell her how or where to find her friends. “Please,” Arps whispered, a desperate note in her voice. “Please, please, please be alive.” She tried again and again, but she still couldn’t find her friends after a few seconds
arps froze, then whirled around, the stick still clutched in her hands. I also looked around for the source of the voice. A woman and two men now stood on the riverbank. They were all short and stocky, with black hair, dark brown eyes, and ruddy skin. Siblings, most likely. They were all dressed in dark green tunics, gray leggings, and black boots, and each one was clutching a sword. “Who are you?” Arps asked. The woman smiled, but it was a sharp, hungry expression. “My name is Farena, and I’m the . . . tax collector for this section of the river.”

Arps grimaced, and she watched while Farena and her two brothers advanced on them . . . Water splashed on my face, breaking the unwanted spell of my magic. The riverbank vanished, and I was back in the bathtub at my house . I hoisted myself up and out of the tub, not wanting another slap of water to trigger my magic again. I dried off and got dressed up thinking about peters and dad's situation outside

Outfit-

I went out to see peter on the bed looking scared and dad lecturing him about some rules these idiots i thought and went to them " I've explained all the rules needed to peter and now i can allow you too to date in my house " dad exclaimed i gave him a smile and thumbs up as if i needed his permission to date but now that dad knew about us things would be rather.....easier
