Unworldly (Completed 2016 version)

I felt the push of the first impact, from just mentally reaching out to it fifty feet away, knock me a few steps back as I mentally latched onto the hood, pushing on it with metal telekinesis, my jaw clenched from effort.

But the semi was barely slowing down. I backed up slowly as it came closer, the force of it slowly pushing me back, my feet digging into the concrete road.

Time slowly started to speed up back to normal as I lost concentration. Behind me, two cars, stunned by the sight of the semi, came flying towards each other, and towards the school bus; the counterproductive response of the drivers was making my job all the harder.

"Humans," I cursed, and flung the cars across the intersection like pucks on ice to a safe distance, breaking their gas tanks away before their cars could feed them sparks.

I focused all my energy on stopping the semi. Soon, it registered that I wasn't going to be able to halt it completely, so I threw the truck driver and his seat out onto the sidewalk. Planted in the middle of the intersection, using the magnetokinesis as an anchor on the lampposts, I took a deep breath.

Here we go.
