Despite herself, Phoebe smiled, "five and a half, I knew there was a possibility I would develop powers. My mother she sent a letter to me on my fifth birthday you see. The caretakers took the whole orphanage out for a feild trip, something fun. We went to a park, we were playing around, hide and seek, you know? I was hiding, suddenly this ball came at me. I threw my hands up, closed my eyes expecting pain...when it didnt bappen, I opened my eyes, there were these vines, holding the ball. .no one could figure out what happened, or now it did. I read everything I could about my motner, everything, trying to figure out how to use it"
