She finally looks at me, making the healing a bit easier. I can do it without that, but it's so much more simple when I can see the person's eyes. I have no idea why. I can't help but think that she has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
In the next moment, I'm flooded by the images and feelings from her memories. Nice ones and not so nice ones. The recent memories seem to be tinged with fear. Fear of her powers. Fear of herself. My heart goes out to her as my powers continue to ease her pain. I've known that sort of fear. I've been able to heal for as long as I can remember, but the first time I accidentally used my powers to hurt someone ... I hid myself away for an entire day and even when I came out of my room again, I wouldn't speak to anyone or let anyone touch me for a week. Not even Isabel. I was so afraid I would hurt someone-else.
"Thank you," I hear her say as the connection fades away and I know she's whole again.
"I'm glad I could help," I tell her with a shy smile. Now that the crisis is over, I'm no longer sure how to talk to her. Suddenly, I realize that my hands are still on her head. I pull them back, hoping she wasn't feeling too uncomfortable about me holding her like that.
"You get headaches like that a lot? Your powers?" I ask.

Jess looks embarrassed, almost apologizing for his car. 'It runs' he said. Hell, that works for me.
"Sounds great to me. I don't have any car at all. Well, when I'm home Mom lets me borrow the Jetta, but she wouldn't let me keep it here at the school. Says she needs it herself," I say with a shrug. Sometimes the best way to get around is to go lion, but if the wrong people see me then the cops and Animal Control will be after me. That's not the kind of publicity I need.
