Jin made not a peep as she was carefully picked up. She simply clung to her new uncle like a baby koala. While he walked, she looked back at the house, the place she had been happy and growing, remembering things. There were still some of her crayoned pictures on the fridge. A pair of pink rain boots by the back door. Trinkets and things and just… stuff, from a happy life, that was now being left behind. She would never see this house again, and now was in the care of a stranger. A nice, but kind of scary one. What the future would hold, who knew?

Once they got out the door, she was surprised to find Uncle Slade moving faster than anything she had ever encountered before. She made a small noise of excitement, watching her neighborhood’s scenery fly by. Once they stopped, she stared up at him with sparkly eyes full of admiration. 

“Whoa. That was awesome!” She hopped out of his arms, to clamber into the backseat and carefully put on her seatbelt. “Are you a hero? Like Superman?”  Without waiting for an answer, she continued excitedly. “Do you wanna know a secret?” Jinny looked like she was about to smile, but then she seemed to lose a bit of her energy. 

“I was going to tell… my parents… but I guess I can tell you.” She leaned forward, looking up at him. “I can make things [i]fly[/i].” Despite her somber look, there was a spark of glee in her eyes. “Watch this.” 

She stuck out her hand, and the car keys that were once in Slade’s hand would find themselves hanging in the open air between them, surrounded by a faintly silver glow. It seemed young Jin had inherited more than just her mother’s eyes. “Ta-da! Isn’t it cool?”
