It had been a long day, and Lorna was very tired. She'd gone to a doctor's appointment downtown, and been spotted by one of the guys she'd met at the club. To make things double super awkward, her mother had been with her, and immediately questioned her on the whole 'Lorna' thing. Much embarrassed stammering had ensued, and to top it off, the guy had realized what he'd done and looked vaguely horrified. Great.
Not only was she dealing with constant headaches, but now her parents knew about her secret double life.
To compensate for the utter shit that had been her day, Lorna was wandering around in Time Square, coffee in hand, heels making a comforting pattern of clicking noises on the concrete. She'd hoped that caffeine would help her headache, it sometimes did. Tonight that wasn't the case though, and she kept having her vision fuzz out. That, on top of not realizing how late she'd stayed out, meant that she couldn't drive home until the sun came up, if she didn't want to get a ticket for driving seemingly drunk at night on a temporary license. She plopped down on a bus stop bench, resting her head in her hands. God, she just wanted the headaches to stop.
Of course, the moment she started to cry at the unfairness of life in general, the metal around her for a ten foot radius warped and twisted. There was a sound like screaming, and then pain lanced through her thigh as the bench warped into something sharp, cutting into her. She cursed, then propelled herself into the air. That was when she started to really get freaked out, which only made her powers that much wilder.
