Raine glanced down, "I don't know how, but I have that gift... but the problem is that I keep accidentally overdoing it, and if I use it, I end up doing damage to my body and passing out..."

Kitt narrowed his eyes as Sapphire started to slow. With a growl he gathered speed and lunged forward.
~~~~~
"Easy enough to prove thats a dangerous environment for children," Rodgers said.

Jessica nodded as she listened. "Hmmm, when I was your age, a teenager just like you, I did the same thing. I didn't know that much about my powers then, but from what I learned from my grandfather, I had to work at it in small bits. I learned to disipline myself by putting myself through rigorous, physical tests of survival out here in the desert. It took me a year to get the hang of my powers."

Sapphire looked back to see if Kitt was gaining on her. "Catch me!" she shouted happily.
*****
"Those poor children should have a home and someone to care for them, than a mother who races off on a whim and leaves them with strangers. It could prove that she is an unfit mother too, wouldn't it?" asked George.

"But I thought it was through mental trials, not physical... I know most of the staff at Caduceus possess the Healing Touch... I've read some of the techniques from Professor Montgomery... he said that you had to allow your soul to permeate with the spirits of those who are ill, and that the process would open your heart to the gift..." Raine shifted a little on her "wheelchair"

"Oh I plan on it," Kitt said as he revved his engine and surged forward and caught up with her. He gave her a suave smirk as he passed her. ~~~~~
"That would," Rodgers said. "And give custody to either the state or the next of kin."

"We'll be down to using our running lights for signals," Bree shrugged. "As long as we stay in sight of each other, it should be OK."
"If he's coming back," Boost spoke slowly, "He's got something specific in mind." His eyes went to the twins. "He turned both our lives into hell. What do you think he will do to them? They remind me too much of myself when I was that age, and it didn't stop him from beating my mom and leaving us for dead in a burning house." His body began to shake a little.
Kendall growled. Mike, Ondine and Atsuko acquired very stony looks.
Doc stood by and listened while Raine and Jessica spoke.

Raine edged closer to her father, "The truth is... I don't want to leave my father... he's all I have left...along with my uncle, but I can't stand being away from them, as foolish as it must sound to you..." She leaned against Doc, looking for reassurance.

"Mental and physical," answered Jessica, "Strong body plus strong mind equals more control of your powers. It is a bit how racecars prepare themselves before the big race."
Jessica nodded in agreement, "Of course, I don't wish to separate family, although I'm willing to work out an agreement to a specific time for training."
*****
Sapphire blinked as Kitt passed her. "Hey! No fair!"
*****
"I would take custody of them if I could," said George, "The children would be better off with me, than with her."
*****
"I'm willing to work like that," said Shale.
*****
"I have no desire to see anything bad happen to the twins. They are too precious to me to lose. So he is your father too," said Ebony, narrowing her eyes, "but my mother is still alive. So what does that make us? Half-siblings?"

Raine said nothing, glancing up at her father for his answer to all this.

"I guess that would be right." Boost nodded. "And from what I remember of dear old Dad, he's got some scheme going. If he knows about you, he knows about the twins. He'll come after you at what he figures is the weakest point." He looked into the air. "I used to think that, aside from my gang brothers, I had no other family at all. Now I find out that we're related. What we have in common is a piece of garbage for a father, but we're still of the same metal. We can show him that he can't mess with us any more."
"OK." Bree nodded. She glanced over to Shayla. "So what next?"
"Just sign in with Elena." the Harrier answered. "Don't see how she'll have any objections, but be prepared to bring your own rations in."
"I could stay out with you for a few weeks." Doc said. "Pretty much semi-retired anyway, and I can find a locum for the clinic, or see if Morrison will stay around."

Kitt laughed as he dropped back alongside Sapphire. "Better?"
~~~~~
"We'll of course bring that up to a judge," Rodgers said.
~~~~~
Phoenix blinked and looked at the Vipers for a moment and silently stroked Gryffin's roof. "We had an idea going along the lines of getting him to talk."

Raine thought for a moment, "Well... if you want to... I don't want to waste any of your time..."

"I'm not even sure what to think," said Ebony, shaking her front, "I used to think I was all alone and had nobody, because of my Black Viper status, much less parents. All I had were my twins."
She glanced at Phoenix for a moment, then back at Boost.
*****
"That'll do fine," nodded Shale, "Where might we find Elena?"
*****
"C'mon!" Sapphire shouted, "Let me chase you for once!"
*****
"I will agree with that," nodded George, "but how to press those charges against her might be a problem. I haven't met her yet."
*****
Jessica waited patiently for Doc's decision.

"You want a chase you got one!" Kitt said he dropped lower to the ground and shot off.
~~~~~
"Best might be is that she might have a warrant thats out for her," Rodgers said.

"Ooh, yeah..." Sapphire laughed, also lowering herself to the ground, and taking off after Kitt.
*****
"Who would have a warrant out for her?" asked George.
