Molly's POV

My back slams into the ground, creating a good sized hole in the pavement. Thank God for my blue energy protecting me because otherwise, I would've been fucked. I slowly peel my eyes open and look around at the crowds of people watching me. I groan softly to myself and sit up, my body aching everywhere. Cheers erupt.

"Psyche? Are you alright?" Felix asks, helping me up to my feet. I nod, leaning against his body. He holds me tightly, almost like he's scared I might disappear if he doesn't. People cheer loudly all around.

"I'm done, okay?" I mumble into his chest, "I'm gonna take a break. Go on vacation. Hell, I'm gonna just fucking retire. Can I get social security yet?" He laughs as he helps me limp over to the police. Chief Owens leads us into a building away from the crowd of people outside. I sit down on a couch in the lobby, propping my leg up. I sigh as I lean my head back and rip my mask off.

"Molly!" Jack chants, "You're a hero!" He pulls me into a tight hug, making me wince. "Shit. I'm sorry."

"We're so proud of you," mum tells me, making my chest grow warm. I smile.

"How'd you come back? You didn't have your powers?" Ashton points out. Calum sits beside me, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

I lean against him, "My DNA is still modified, I guess. I don't really know."

"I'm just glad you're not dead," Calum says softly to me, kissing my temple. I smile wider. Luke opens his mouth, then decides against whatever he was gonna say and closes it.

"Wait since you died, does that mean you have another power or did you just get your other powers back?" Sierra questions, her eyes bright.

I shrug, "I'll figure it out later. Usually I accidentally figure them out. I don't know. It's weird."

"What isn't?" Ben teases.

"Psyche," Chief Owens calls, walking back over to us, a smile on her face, "We have medics outside that want to check everyone out, including you, if that's alright. Just precautionary stuff since you all were hostages." I shrug and get up. I will my mask to move off of the floor and up to me, a smile on my face as it works. I retie it, then hold Calum's hand as we walk behind the rest of the group towards the doors.

"How are you feeling baby?" Calum asks me softly, squeezing my hand.

I shrug, "Fine, I guess. I'm a little sore. God I can't wait to go home and just lay in bed and snuggle Petunia." Suddenly I'm in my room. Like, actually in my room. I glance around, confused as fuck. I was with Calum in the lobby. Next thing I know, that's where I am, standing beside my very confused boyfriend. Realization washes over me, making a smile spread across my features.

"Where the fuck did you go, Molly? Invisible? I thought-"

"My new power," I cut in, "Teleportation."
