<div class="floatleft">(https://2static.fjcdn.com/large/pictures/4c/13/4c139b_5771854.jpg)</div>Today was a slow day for Hope, no clients, so she had decided to go for a fly.  She had watched a documentary the other night about an abandoned Army base in Arizona.  She looked at a map and fixed the point it was supposed to be in her mind.  Soon she had an internal fix on the base.  She couldn't describe how she did that, it just formed after she thought about a fixed place long enough.  She had once tried to fix on to her parents car while they had been travelling, but she could never lock on to it, nor could she lock on to anything else that could move under its own power.  She got dressed in a black leotard, the material hugging her fit and busty body as well as matching leggings with flat soled ankle boots, she wore tight clothes for flying because the flapping of clothing was annoying and stung when it snapped against her skin during high speed maneuvers.  The petite blonde packed a light lunch of various fruits into a knapsack that she could hang on her back.<br/><br/>Walking out of her small apartment and down to the street, Hope started hiking to the local park, where she would have cover of trees.  She was careful to not taking off flying just anywhere, she was keeping a low profile with her abilities.  They had only become active about 3 months ago and she was still unsure what she wanted to do with them, whether that was nothing important and just use them for recreation or to become a heroine and help protect people.  But that was dangerous and she didn't have any training.  She didn't have awesome powers like some of the heroes on TV, she could just fly very fast.  She once flew to the moon, that had been a surprise when she didn't have any problem surviving out in space and since then she hadn't needed to eat, drink or sleep at all.  She smiled as she walked through the park in the crisp, cool air in Boulder, Colorado.  Walking into a clump of trees, she looked around and listened for any movement around her, once she was confident she wasn't being observed, she shot straight up into the air, reaching 1000 feet over the city within seconds and then she covered to the south west and poured on the speed, at mach 2 she could be over the Army base in under 30 minutes.<br/><br/>She did her best to keep from overflying population centers, staying in the Rockies as much as possible and below the peaks, weaving around the mountains to avoid airplane traffic to keep from showing up on radar or getting sighted by someone.  Although while travelling at mach 2, that meant that the only thing a human observer would notice was a blur speeding pass them.  Once she broke out of the Rockies, she dropped down closer to the ground, glad that her field buffered the and silenced her sonic boom as she blazed through the air, spinning around, curving side to side to avoid passing over towns as she passed into Arizona.  Her internal tracking indicated that she was nearly to the abandoned Army base as she started to slow down.  Inertia was a jerk at times, when she got up to massive speeds, it took her time to slow down to more reasonable speeds, especially if she wanted to land with her dignity intact.<br/><br/>Smiling as the army base came into her enhanced sight, she started banking around to circle around the base as she continued to slow down, pulling several g's as she did.  She didn't know how many g's she could pull, but it was more than a normal human could from her rough calculations.  As she was dropping down to Mach 1, she circled around the abandoned army base, aiming for the runway as a convenient place to land.
