Michelle had taken Lola, Amanda, and Craig to the park. Lola and Amanda were circling one another warily. Lola feinted a punch, then tried to tackle Amanda. She managed to take her to the ground before yelping in pain and rolling away, clutching her left calf. "Ow! Fuck! No fair!"
Amanda got back to her feet and grinned at her--what? Sister? In Lola's future, Amanda didn't exist, and vice versa. It was confusing and headache-inducing if Michelle thought about it too hard. Amanda's right hand was curled into a loose fist. She relaxed it and Lola slumped, gasping and rubbing her calf.
"Told you," Amanda said. "And you got off lightly. I could have cramped the muscle so hard you broke the bone. Or given you a heart attack. Or an aneurysm, or any number of unpleasant things."
"Is that true, mom?" Craig asked. The ten year-old sat on a bench next to Michelle.
"In Italian, please," Michelle said. Craig dutifully repeated his question in Italian.
"[It is,]" Amanda replied also in Italian, turning to face them. "[I don't just heal like mom, there. I have to work at it, but I can heal--or hurt--other people just as easily. I blame dad. My dad, I mean.]" Her father had had telekinetic powers, very potent powers. Amanda couldn't move so much as penny with her mind, but she could sense--and manipulate--tissues, organs and processes inside the body. She could heal people or kill them with frightening ease.
"Cheater," Lola groused, getting back to her feet.
"There's no cheating in a real fight," Michelle said mildly. "You do what you have to do, and what you can, to win."
Lola rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah." She produced a knife seemingly from nowhere. "If this were for real, I'd have stuck this in Amanda somewhere when I charged her." She looked at Amanda. "But we're playing nice, right?"
