Chapter 14

It was a Tuesday night and Karen was at party for her brother in privet room atop Jameson Towers in down town New York. The room was full of friends and family that Karen knew from most photographs, and she doubted that any of them knew who her brother was none the less that it was his fourteenth birthday. After a while Karen found herself outside alone on the balcony looking out at the shinny city lights below.

How can everything keep on moving after what I’ve done? Karen let out a sigh. It’s been two weeks since the now so called ‘attempted brake in’ as SHELD is now calling it. Fury made sure that no one in SHELD knew it was her who broke in, as so many people were attacked with out knowing who had done it to them it was easy job. The only people who knew were Fury, Laura, Logan and herself. How does he expect me to pretend that nothing happened? That didn’t kill two people. Karen hung her head over the railing of the balcony. Is this what I am? A born killer? I have two of the world’s most deadly people as my parents? Was I doomed from the start? Theses thoughts have plagued Karen for the last week.

“Hey,” A voiced asked from behind Karen. She quickly cocked her head to the side to see it was her brother, Kevin. “What ya’ doing out here sis? The party is in side.”

“I know Kiv, I just need some air is all.”

“Sounds good to me,” He smiled. Kevin walked up to and stood at her side. Karen looked at her brother for a moment. For him being her sibling they didn’t share much in resemblances, except that they shared the same skin tone, but besides that you would never guess that they were brother and sister. He looked like more like his father than their mother, not that their mother would ever say that to them. As she looked at him she sensed that something was different about her brother now, but she couldn’t finger what it was. “Karen, are you alright? You’ve been acting weirder than normal. Heck, your friend/ sister/ aunt or what ever is acting more normal than you are. What’s wrong?

“I’ve just got a lot of things on my mind lately that I really can’t talk about right now.”

“Are you sure, because you can tell me anything with out me telling a soul.”

“I am sure,” Karen smiled back at him stepping away from the railing. “How about we head back in it’s starting to get chilly.”

The two started heading toward the doors scaring a three pigeons who were on the ground next to them .They flew up scared away from them where one flew into the side of the building and falling at their feet. “Oh my god,” Karen gasped reached down towards the pigeon. She could see that its neck was broken and she could hear its heart beat slow as it was going to die very soon. Great I’ve killed again.

Before Karen could tell Kevin not to touch the bird he had scooped it up in his hands. He stared down at his clasp hands then quickly closed them as his hands begin to glow bright a bright yellow orange color that incased the birds body in light and when the light faded the bird stood up his hands cooing then flew off.

“Kevin, what do you realize what you just did?”

He stared at her in surprise of what he just did. “I healed that bird,” He said in shock. “But how did I do that? What does that mean?”

“Baby brother it means you’re a mutant,” Karen told him truthfully tripping backwards leaning back on the banister. “This is my entire fault that you’re a mutant.”

“What? You’re fault? How? He asked but he looked at her eyes. “Oh yeah your blood, I forgot about that.”

“How can you forget that you almost died? Not many people get a second chance at life!” She screamed at him, where he just stared at her. “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you I’ve got a lot my mind and this is….”

“This is so cool!” Kevin exclaimed throwing his arms in the air.

“What? How is this cool by any means?”

“I am a mutant this is so cool because I can totally be a superhero now,” He smiled happily. “Wonder if I have heat vision too?” He started to stare really hard at the ground to see if he could shoot out beams of light.

Karen slapped her hand on her head. My brother the happy one no matter what happens to him. “Some how I doubt that you’re going to be shooting any beams of light out of your eyes,” She told him. “How about we go back inside and leave the heat beams for another time?” Kevin groaned as Karen led him back in to the party.
