Mimic

Complications

Celestia loved her powers, but sometimes it was a pain. Like when she wanted to read someone's thoughts she had to get them alone or with very few people or else all the thoughts would overwhelm her.
There was also the fact that people expected way to much of her. That was one of the reasons she had invited Astrid over. The woman had given Liliya lessons and Celestia had asked her. The other was something Liliya herself had asked her to do.
" Astrid I need to talk to you." Celestia stated as the two took their break the green magic had dissapered from Astrid's palms. " What about sweetheart?" Astrid asked her purple eyes seemed to study her intensely.
" I was thinking that since you're helping me with my powers I could help you with something in return. Liliya told me that you were with Cynthia when she got recaptured and while I can't do what I did with Katrina with you, because you seem pretty much over it I did write down all the powered individuals they have in custody she said it might help you." Celestia told her handing her a purple journal. Before Astrid could say anything the doorbell rang. " I'll be back." Celestia promised. She opened the door to see a very frazzled Fuschia at the door. " You look horrible what happened?" Celestia frowned ushering the girl inside. " I didn't know where else to go someone from my past showed up." Fuschia winced and Celestia gave her a concerned look. " You aren't injured are you cause I'm afraid my powers are psychic limited and Katrina's a phaser as well as a pyrokenetic." Celestia asked worriedly. " A little, but I'm sure it's fine. I don't know why I came I should of just gone back to the orphanage I'm sorry for troubling you." Fuschia rambled as she turned to go, but Celestia grabbed her arm firmly stopping her. " It's fine Fuschia besides Astrid might be able to help you in more ways then one." Celestia assured her walking towards Astrid's room where they had been training on control and her mind shields.
" Whose your friend?" Astrid asked her purple eyes seemed to dance as she grinned at the two girls. " Astrid this is Fuschia Jones, Fuschia this is Astrid Jennings Liliya's Aunt." Celestia introduced. " You seem familar." Fuschia stated and Astrid frowned.
" I don't see how I could be I'm from California so unless you've been there recently..." Astrid trailed off looking towards Celestia for an explanation.
" Fuschia has amnesia Astrid. Though I was hoping you could look her over for injuries she had a run in with some one from her past." Celestia explained. " Right give me your hand." Astrid said giving her a strained smile that Celestia was confused about Fuschia did as she was told and they watched in fascination as Astrid's hands glowed brightly healing anything that might have been wrong with the girl. " Thanks." Fuschia sighed the pain that had been in the girls eyes had gone away. " This person from your past who is he?" Astrid asked. " His name is Dr Lewis." Fuschia stated her eyes darkening and she shivered slightly. Astrid flinched at the name and Celestia gave her a concerned look. " Are you alright?" She asked Astrid shook her head. " I thought he was dead, but I guess he must of survived." She sighed. " What do you mean?" Fuschia said her voice said and she sounded completely confuesd. " You and I used to be friends or I was more like a caretaker. The 9 muses as I call them asked me to look after you. At first I had been pretty successful, but then we were both kiddnapped..." Astrid stopped her eyes seemed a bit distracted. " by Toxic Waste was this before or after Cynthia?" Celestia finished with a question hoping it would help Astrid focus. " Before Cynthia I was at a testing facility where they tested young girls though I was 25 so older then all of the girls there. Fuschia had been 10 when I met her, but still she was a lot more mature then most of the kids there." Astrid told them. " Do you know why?" Fuschia asked curiously. " Why you were more mature? Yeah that's because of Neurocognitive Deficit your ability. It has to do with your brain, it functions at a much faster rate then normal people. Either way I would teach you how to use your powers while taking any of the testing that came your way." Astrid informed.
" Why would you do that?" Fuschia frowned. " You were to young to be going through that. I was used to it. I had come from an abusive family which was one of the reasons I had been able to watch you so easily and protect you without anyone noticing." Astrid shrugged. " So you can help me get my memories back!" Fuschia grinned excitedly though Celestia didn't understand why she was so excited. " I'm sorry I can't relive that." Astrid said shaking her eyes watered slightly. " You shouldn't have to she has the memories it should be just like opening a locked door." Celestia frowned. " That's for people who don't want to remember. Neurocognitive deficit works completely different. The only way you could get it all was from someone who shared the expirances, because you have done this before and they forced me to make you remember before moving me to Cynthia's place." Astrid said.
" You mean I did this to myself." Fuschia said shocked. " My guess is they wanted information from you and you wouldn't give it to them so in order to escape their questions you messed up your mind." Astrid shrugged. Fuschia gasped at the end of that her eyes started to glaze over.
" Help her." Celestia ordered and Astrid just shook her head tears were already streaming down her face. " I can't." She said softly. " Fine then I'll do it." Celestia growled grabbing onto Fushcia's hand. The last thing she heard was Astrid scream no before she was pulled into Fushcia's scattered mind.
