"Jackpot! AGAIN! Unbelievable!" followed by the sounds of dozen slot machines ringing and indistinct shouts of glee from the would winners. Little did they knew what actually happened. 

Minutes later casino workers and guards stepped in to calm the crowds that gathered and kindly ask them to leave the casino while they figure out the issue with the machinery. Of course, they couldn't. Nothing was wrong with them, it was just luck. Pure luck that everything matched at the same time.

Or in Alexis's case, bad luck. It wasn't the first time she played at this casino and it wasn't the first time her powers backfired on her. She meant only to increase her luck tenfold but instead, she increased it for everyone around her just for a few seconds. Enough to make everyone a would-be winner. 
Sooner or later, someone figures out what these "accident" happen only when she's in the room and she gets banned. Most people simply believing luck is just being a fairytale and with no evidence that she's using powers, it made her hard to catch but easy to be called a cheater of sorts. 

Hours later, Alexis was in her apartment counting the night's winnings. A bit over 2000$ in cash. A weak night for her but ever since she got her powers, she was living better than ever. No more house sharing, no more drunk idiots that need their asses kicked, no more squatting.

Soon after she got her powers and understood what they were she went on to make money at the biggest casino Vegas had. She made a quarter million by the time she was asked to enjoy the rest of the night at a different casino. Everyone can win at the casino but in the end, the house will always wins. Not against her.

Turning on the TV, she sees the President's speech and only uttered one word : "[colour=silver] F*CK! [/Colour]". That meant one thing for her. Soon casino's would have the blood test to be done mandatory before going in. She'd be thrown out before even setting foot inside. 
As she was thinking about the speech, a few notifications on her phone broke her concentration. Looking at them, she received an update on the Reaper. Alexis has been following him on all social media (under fake names) since he came out. 

A Super that advocates rebellion against the government. While not interested in the ideology behind him, she knew one thing for sure. At one point, the government will crackdown on everyone with powers due to people like the Reaper. People like Alexis would be hard to be targeted as they're powers aren't obvious and then you add to the mix those with a bit of training, those that are streewise. People exactly not like her sister. 

She stopped and stared at the TV screen and realized that it was the first time since Nafisa's and her 18th birthday that she even remotely thought about her family. What if Nafisa got powers as well? What if she's going to go submit herself to the goverment? She always followed the rules, she always followed whatever mom and dad said. 

That line of thinking got her remembering all the fights, all the scoldings, all the speeches that her dad made telling her to be more like Nafisa. Everything that made her promise to never return home but with the threat of the blood tests and the idea that Nafisa might be an Altered Human...she made her mind.

Doing the one thing she promised never to do.
