"I've done it." Kuriko said to herself "I've finally done it!"

This was the first time in a long time she had felt any kind of joy. She had control of her powers. With the power of apport she had stolen her brothers hairclips, but it still wasn't enough. Now for the test.

Running, she took a starting position, and "GO!" She ran with greatly repressed strength, and by the end she was exhausted, she looked at the timer, 5 minutes, "great" With the added bonus of not destroying the timer. She looked back with slight fear, she had done it, for the first time she hadn't left huge holes in the ground where she ran!

Next, throwing. Kuriko had set targets up around her cave. The goal, to hit the targets without smashing them... another success! More tests were set up from grip control to practicing her annoyed face, in which she passed them all with great satisfaction, there was one thing left to do...

Spy on kusuke.

Kusuke had spent the last 3 years working on stronger hairclips to stop Kusuo's powers, his resolve slightly strengthened by kuriko's mind control, but truly wasn't needed. And he was nearly complete with his newest installment, one that could reduce her powers enough to be able to move around freely and without worry. It was everything she's been waiting for since she was born, yet there was a problem.

She will have to reveal herself to the world, her family, everyone she had been longing to see for years. The guilt panged her heart. But she was ready, or at least she believed she was, and that was good enough.

One week later...

"...it's, it's done" She muttered, then in a bought of adrenaline shouted "It's done!" Whilst jumping in the air, cracking the earth below. "I can see my family, leave this cave, and live in a house." She started welling up with tears. Kuriko hadn't felt such emotion in years and was so overwhelmed that her knees suddenly sunk in the earth as she bawled into the palms of her hands.

After a few hours of composing herself, she decided that it was time. First, she needed to visit kusuke. After preparing a final breath, she teleported outside kusuke's school, and walked to his personal lab.

There was a moment of silence, met with a wavering grin, and then a hug. A warm embrace that Kuriko had neither expected nor experienced in years. It felt slightly uncomfortable, but warm.

"You know, I knew there was another psychic, I mean it was pretty obvious." His voice was cheerful and boastful, the kind of voice attached to someone you want to punch. "And if you think about it it's pretty obvious that we had a sister" bla bla bla... Kuriko's mind wandered off, she couldn't help but think that last statement was a little hyperbolic.

"So when am I getting my memories back?" He asked. 'It's as if he's reading my mind', she shuddered. 'I didn't think it would feel this creepy.'
"I would like to do it with Kusuo, mum and dad there too." She looked off to the side as she said this, feeling guilty, worrying that she would be unable to give them back.
"Don't worry! Everything will be fine!" Kuriko felt how obnoxious these words were, but took hope in them anyway. " and I'll get to see my ku-chan again!"

Kusuo. I've missed him.
