Chapter 7

And little Easter, what can SHE do?

Polyglot, Altered Time Rate, And Illusion.

Your youngest daughter is the one least like the rest of the family in her powers, sharing directly only your common regeneration ability.

Her other power that she shares with you is the ability to manipulate shadows, but for her it is both so much more, and less. While she can alter shadows she cannot teleport through them, but gains in balance the ability to manipulate light and sound as well, allowing her to make convincing 3D and auditory illusions, or she COULD if she were a bit older and a better artist. Right now her illusions are all oblong and weird, looking more like badly drawn cartoon characters than real people. Fortunately she has other powers that give her an edge.

For one, she seems to be experiencing TIME differently than the rest of you, going at about 3 times the speed of the normal world. This allows her to outrun and out dodge just about anyone, even with her short six year old stature.

For another she has apparently become a 'Polyglot' being able to speak any language fluently after hearing it spoken for about 15 minutes. The researchers have warned you privately that people with that ability, especially children, often develop telepathy later on, but you will deal with that when it comes up, IF it comes up.

Easter has not chosen a 'Super Name' yet, but for now the government has assigned her the temporary code name of 'Little Girl Blue'...


The government kept you under observation for 3 days running tests, before finally deciding that your mutation was NOT in fact infectious, and settling the four of you in a 'new' and spacious condo in Millennium, with rooms for each of you and enough space to spread out and let the kids play. Their grandparent's have been informed that you all are in 'witness protection' and they are never to try to contact you, which though you regret the children being cut off from their relatives and surrogate mothers you understand that it is necessary. You have settled in to your condo, and the kids are adapting fine to you all being one gender and the 'girls' having to pee through a 'penis', not to mention having tails that almost reach the floor, which has cost you a few lamps.

One other unexpected development you have run into is worth mentioning, it seems that with your leg restored your 'Physical Disability Discharge' has been REVOKED: You are once again as serving member of the Nebraska National Guard, with about a year to go on your 3 year enlistment, plus another few years in the reserve. The Government Agents have promised that since you have kids at home and no one to care for them you will remain stationed in Millennium as part of the ongoing guard units stationed there in case they have to impose martial law again or other serious emergency, but you know the old saws:
Q: "How can you tell if a recruiter is lying?"
A: "His lips are moving."


This at last brings us to the current situation, and what event will begin the 'current' part of the story line...

And that event is...?
