Flopping onto the beanbag stationed on an otherwise bare floor, Gloria Valdez pulled out her laptop. When she fled home, she had taken very few things with her. This being said, her laptop was one of them. From the moment she had left, she had been searching for someone who could help her learn to control the powers she had so recently learned of. During a fight with her then boyfriend Alex, she caused a massive storm that took out the entire town of Glennbrooke, North Carolina. Luckily, it was a small town and only several hundred were killed but Gloria knew that if she was blamed for this, several hundred counts of murder would land her in a federal prison for life and then some. Immediately, Gloria had packed up and run, leaving nothing but a handwritten note for Alex saying how much she loved him and how she promised to return if her "issues" ever got under control.<br/><br/>Opening the laptop, Gloria rapidly hit buttons until she pulled up the screen containing her email. Three emails from Alex, one from her mother...and one from the people who had promised to help her. 'Thank god!' her mind raced as she opened the email and scanned the words. She had been accepted into their help program. She was to be there by 9:00 the next day. 'S**t I have to get going!' she realized, glancing at the small clock in the bottom corner of the screen and realizing it was nearly 8 PM already. Snapping her computer shut, not even bothering to read the emails from her boyfriend and mother, Gloria packed up the few things she had and booked a train for the next morning. 'Finally..I can fix this and get back to Alex where I belong' she smiled to herself as she laid down on the beanbag and closed her eyes.
