Cambria stopped by her room first and she laid on her bed and had a good long cry. She picked up her box and started going through it. There were a few pictures of her and Coheed playing with Tia and others of her and her sibling and their parents among the pictures. Bell had promised to print out another set for Coheed in case he wanted them.
She closed her eyes as old memories came to the front for the first time in years. She remembered that day that everything changed. Mom and dad were in the house with Aunt Wicked and Sideswipe. Cammy, Coheed and Tia were all playing on the swingset. Three four year olds will always find something to argue about and true to form they did. All three wanted to swing at the same time and Tia and Cammy were fighting over the last swing.
All of the kids had powers at birth not as advanced as they would later become but still powerful. Coheed was progressing in his telekinetic training very well and his Dad bragged about it all the time. Tia was doing pretty well with her Super speed. She would often irritate Cambria by running circles around her. Cambria had molecular manipulation and was still having trouble with the triggers. They were not allowed to use their powers unsupervised. However, they were kids and of course they weren't listening to that rule. Coheed had lifted the swingset he was on so he could go higher. It was about 10 feet off of the ground.
Cambria and Tia had been fighting and Tia started running circles around her to piss her off and it did. Cambria remembered what she said to Tia.
"If you don't stop I'll make you stop!" Cambria had gotten so mad at her she wasn't focused enough to control her powers. 4 year old Cammy had shouted
"Stop!" and pushed her hands out at Tia and instead of freezing Tia. Tia's chest exploded and she fell to the ground dead.
The adults heard the explosion and came running. Wicked Flame started screaming and sobbing and Hunter took his kids home while DD stayed with her sister, who was holding her dead little girl. After the twins' parents death and Sideswipe disappearing it was Wicked and the twins.
In her heart Wicked knew that Cambria didn't mean to hurt Tia. She remembered the day Wicked had another lady take Coheed away. Wicked had wrestled with the decision but she sent him away because Cammy was dangerous and he and she kept fighting and she was afraid that Cammy would accidentally kill him too. She had paid for him to go to a good family and that he be taught about and how to use his powers. She kept Cammy with her so she could teach her and keep others safe. Cambria must have blocked all of this out. She laid down and sobbed.
