Chapter 39 - Jennifer Mozaditine's Past

Jenny's POV

His Past- Jenny's Life & Reality Warping

I was born into the Mozarditne's Royalty, my parents were wealthy executives who ran their own company. I was being schooled and educated by my tutor who excelled in everything they gave me. The next thing I knew, my powers began to manifest, it started from levitating the objects around me, then following me around, things being set on fire to eventually everything becomes distorted around me. That happened when I was 10 years old, by that time it went out of control.

...I couldn't remember a thing back then, every 2 minutes I would teleport to another place and my memory would be wiped out. One moment I was on a mountain, in a deserted street, in an orc's camp. A tundra, a mouth of a volcano, and eventually under the sea. Eventually, it got bad enough where my "Powers'' nearly killed me in the process, it was the aid of someone who gave me a concoction to drink to save my life

After being saved from death, my first thoughts were home... only to be rejected by mom & dad who considered me as a monster. Thus, I learned to live on my own using my street smarts to stay alive and use my powers to sustain myself. Thus, I began to discover that I can alter reality to my liking and teleport from place to place. I learned how telekinesis works on the holo net and with little practice I was able to pull amazing stunts like flying from place to place, lifting a monster with my mind with a simple thought, and not to mention stopping bullets from flying, talk about amazing stunts that I can do. Eventually, I made a living by using my powers and keeping it hidden whatever possible. I fell in with a group of friends who were unregistered PSI users and we committed a string of harmless crimes.

Eventually, when I saw they were going too far with their crime spree, one time, they took a group of innocent hostages who had nothing to do with it. I stopped them using my powers but I was disgusted with them that I left them to the "Authorities" to deal with them.

Since then, I have kept a low profile, using a fake name "Carmen Lobai". I mostly did Weightlifting, worked graphic design and web design, did animating, and had a dating life. It has been quiet and I was 22 then, it wasn't until I drew the attention of the authorities.

PSI Operative & Mercenary

After coming back from the gym, it was a morning routine on Saturday. I head back to my apartment, showering as well as putting on a change of clothing. It consists of baggy pants, a T-shirt, and tied my hair in a ponytail.

"Miss Morzaditine?" someone said to me.

"Who the hell are you?! How did you get in?" I asked, surprised that an intruder somehow got in.

"My name is Lionel Sarbenart, I am with the PSI Operatives within the New Pennsylvania area. I'm here to bring you in." the man said without missing a beat. "I am not here to do you harm but I have found you by observing your movements for a long time."

"The hell I am coming with you!" I conjured a fireball at the man which the man stopped with one hand.

The man looked at me shaking his head in disappointment. "Is that all you got to say, Missy "The hell I am coming with you"? " he said, mocking me. "You think this is my first rodeo having people throwing fireballs at me? I tell you that you are only scratching the surface of your powers," he said while eyeing on me. "You don't trust me, do you?" he asked me.

I don't know what this man wants with me, I don't trust the Operatives. I learned many stories about them ranging from good, bad & mixed. I never took the same route home, never used my power unless I needed to, and stayed away from other PSI users, how did he..?

"I was able to observe you from a distance, Miss Mozaditine. You changed routes every day so you throw anyone that gave chase to you," he said. "You forget..." he trailed off.

"You follow my ass here and I told you I ain't going with you." I levitated a chair in the dining room and threw it at him., I turned it into metal cables in an attempt to slow him down.

I teleport to one of the rooftops and -

"You think that trick of yours will stop me?" he threw the cables back at me. "Like you, I can warp reality to my will."

"Like hell!" I summoned tendrils to grab the man when that didn't work and I moved into the dust and onto a street.

I ran as fast as I could, I was worried that the man was calling for reinforcements and was terrified of getting captured. I've teleported to New Colorado to give him the slip, I had an apartment there in case I needed to stay there for a while. I teleported to the rooftop to confirm if the man is still following or not... Reality Warping? What in the hell is he...?

"Talking about?" a voice said... That man!

"Leave me the fuck alone!" I yelled. "I Told you that I am not going anywhere with you. The hell is your problem?!"

"My problem is with you, young lady! As I said, I am not here to harm or arrest you. You wondered why I didn't call forth reinforcements?" he asked. " I could have but you'll end up taking it as you would be treated like a criminal and it would make our search for you a lot harder," he asked.

Wait... what? Is he playing mind games with me? Is stalling for time or he got a trick up his sleeves?

"I am by myself," he said to me.

"Good!" I quickly clapped my hands to trigger a seismic quake to throw him off the rooftop but the man remained unfazed.

"Just hear me out, Jennifer." the man pleaded.

"Why? So you can throw me in a cage?!" I said, not trusting the man. " I would rather die -"

"AND THEN WHAT?!" he yelled. "Spend the rest of your life running and hiding like a common criminal when I could have easily taken you in by force, Think! You saw me still standing there and I had not even made a move against you," he said, pointing that my powers are not affecting him. "If I was here to arrest you or do you harm, we would not be talking now, you would have been dead or taken into custody by now! Is that you want, Miss Mozaditine?!"

I stopped vibrating the ground, realizing that the man is telling the truth since what he said did make sense.

"What? You can warp reality too, I thought I was only one.'' I said, disbelieving what he had said.

"No, you are classified as a Level 7 PSI user. I am too except I have more finesse with mine after years of training," he said. "I convinced my superiors to just bring you in and talk them out of busting the door down to take you in by force, they know where to find you from anywhere. Even your safe houses here in New Colorado," he said.

"Shit..." I cursed myself for not realizing the operatives knew where I live, if what he said was true, that would blow my normal life straight to hell.

"Let me guess..." I looked at him. "If I go with you, that is it?" I asked. "No more hunting me down?"

"Yes, because if you didn't come with me after 2 hours has passed. They would send in a squad to take you in by force. As we speak we still have time to take you there." he said. "The choice is yours, I urged you to take it and not get your ass hunted down like a criminal." he sternly warned me.

I thought what he said since he asked for his superiors just to bring me in or by force. I can try to escape him but it won't stop the next agent to give chase or bring me in by force. Then again, I can try to give him the slip but from the way I see it, I should go with him since he is one of their elite agents and he is only of the few can match me blow to blow.

"I'll go with you," I said, agree to his offer. "But you try anything that would make me regret it, I will slam your ass to the pavement.

The man smiled and raised his arm, dropping it down... The next thing we knew we were on the sidewalk.

"You mean to take you down to the "Pavement"?" he said with Sarcasm.

"Yeah," I said surprised at what he did, walking with him back to the headquarters.

Upon arriving at the HQ, they analyzed my powers and potential. After showing them that I can lift a massive boulder with just a simple thought. They classified me as a level 7 PSI User with magical & Realty warping potential. True to their word, they simply registered me as a Level 7 user to be watched and gave me the offer to be one of their operatives. I took them up on their offer because... Others like me can utilize magic or bend reality to their will and I thought by training with them I might as well get good at it.

The first week was training our bodies to be efficient with our minds since you cannot just rely on your mind to do your fighting for you. Thankfully, I was self-taught to be able to lift things with little to no effort, but learning magic was especially brutal.

"Let's go, Jenny! Summon a suit of armor!" he barked.

"Yalta Borekak!" I shouted as I summoned my ally who stood with armor in front of me.

Now fire Blizzard Tornado toward my ally.

"Ghot! Emyo Setcalta!" as I fired toward my ally which swiped its sword toward the target.

"Well done! It took you a week to finally get the hang of basics" Lionel said to me.

I trained with them for 2 months learning human anatomy, Academics, Spellcasting, Infilierating, Hand to Hand Combat as well as learn Reality warping. By then I discovered I can manipulate the earth via Geokinesis and I can combine magic or reality warping in tandem. My first mission was to deal with a terrorist cell that has intent on controlling or ruling the city of Harrisburg, New Pennsylvania. Our orders were clear: Eliminate the terrorist leader by any means necessary. Only to realize that the leader was coming on us to become, he ...

My powers were overloaded and I couldn't control myself during that time, that leader was no ordinary PSI user, his powers were immense enough to trigger a meltdown in me. But by the time that I came back to my senses, I had to will myself back into reality during that period where my power went haywire... my comrades were dead in front of my feet. Even Lionel was lying down in a pool of his blood, I was horrified at what transpired.

I cried and cradled my former mentor's body, cursing myself for allowing my powers to be out of control. I left the operatives afterward, still attended the monthly check-in but decided to never again use my reality warping or magic ever again since it got my teammates killed. But that man was immensely powerful, a blond-haired PSI user somehow triggered my dormant powers and his last words still puzzled me this day before I left the PSI operatives

"You there." he pointed to me and me alone. "You wielded the power of the gods before you, why suppress it when you can be more than that. I promise you, you will embrace what you have been given."

What the hell is he talking about?

"Let me show the true potential that lies inside you. We will meet again and when we do..." he snapped his fingers at me. "You will join us or die, Jennifer Mozaditine. Either way, you... will... learn!" I started to scream as my powers began to overload and clench my head in pain.

"Jenny... Hang In..." Lionel said to me before I blacked out.

What does he mean by "True Potential"? That question I never got an answer on but I was determined to know. While I was at a bar, that is when I met Mark Fozen and Joe Barneck, I went up to both of them and asked them if they were PSI users. The rest was history- A bar brawl that ended up with me being hired and having a broken nose. The other reason that joined them was seeking answers about my "True Potential".
