Understanding Me

Secrets told

"And now I can't go back." I finished explaining everything that had been happening over the past two weeks. Both Beth and Jane look equally shocked, disbelieving and concerned.

"So, you have powers?" I nodded slightly.

"I guess in short, I can move things with my mind." I looked between her and Jane and once again they both leaned in, expecting me to show them. I looked over to the vase in the corner of the living room, deciding my target and raising my hand to help direct my powers I started to picture the object moving towards me. My heart pounded as I hoped that my powers would burst out of control like they did sometimes. At least now understand why that was happening. With the enormous energy raging inside of me I couldn't control my powers, it was definitely something I was going to have to work on.

I carefully watched as the vase lifted from the counter top and started flying towards us. Jane let out a gasp as the vase fell to her lap, water slighter flicking on her shirt. There eyes spun between me and the vase before finally settling.

"How is that even possible?" Beth asked as her eyebrows knotted.

"I don't even know myself? Before the crash I didn't even believe anything like this was possible. Its just sort of been thrust on me, it's kind of overwhelming at times." My eyes fall to Jane as she sympathises with me. I felt sorry for myself at times, between my parents dying, to having this strange thing happening to me, to being a completely different person to the people around me, but then I remember how much I do have... which is a lot more than some people.

"We still love you, now you can even levitate us cokes while were chilling on the couch." Beth's remark evens a hearty laugh from me and a soft smack from Jane. I'm glad they were being this cool about it, it makes everything a lot easier.

"I know what you said before, but you're really not going back?"

"Why would I?" I ask Beth as she raises her brows.

"I don't know? They took you in and showed you how to manage your powers and fight like agent."

"But they were lying to me, they didn't care about me." I shrugged as I could feel the anger grow in my stomach. I wasn't annoyed at Beth, just every time I thought about Tony, Fury, Natasha... Steve, my heart ached.

"I know, they should have told you from the beginning, but everything with Bruce and Tony, they seemed like your friends... and Steve? I guess he was the one you were talking about in school."

"How were you talking about him in school?" Jane asked protectively. I weakly smiled before Beth continued.

"And I know that this was probably the last place you wanted to be, especially after you parents died. You could've come here, but you chose to stay there, because I think apart of you felt at home there, surrounded by people just as extraordinary as you." I did. It hurt that she was right, but I knew that there would always be things I have questions about. As much as she made sense, my mind could think of a hundred reasons as to why they did what they did. My head dropped as I thought of them again.

"Thank you, Beth."
