[Error: unknown template qotd] I'd have sex then charter a private jet so I could go to St. Louis and say goodbye to my family.

It was part of the program. Offspring of men like my father - who were exposed to a certain substance while in the military - were of interest because we tend to manifest stronger powers than our parents.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

...You have powers?

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

You say that like I was just supposed to know.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I thought maybe the eye would have indicated a less-than-normal life.

Yes, I am a superhuman.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

I don't typically regard birth defects as proof of superhuman powers.

What can you do?

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's no birth defect. It blew out.

Telepathy and telekinesis. Hence blowing out the eye. You?

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Ow.

*Blinks* What? Wh..what do you mean me? *Guilty face. He caught her a little off guard.*

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Very ow.

...aren't you psi too? I thought I felt it.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

You can feel something like that?

*She debated denying it but it wouldn't take more than a google search for him to discover the truth.* I'm not psychic like you. It's a form of empathy. I can feel afflictions. You know, illnesses, infection, injuries.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

That qualifies as a psi power, I think.

That sounds very helpful for certain careers.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess.

It's why I became a doctor. Ever since I was little I just felt like its what I was born to do.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Do you still practice?

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm not licensed yet. I'm an intern at Georgetown University Hospital.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Do your abilities help with the actual healing?

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Only in the sense that I don't waste time testing things unnecessarily. I'm not a healer. I just know what needs to be healed.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Ah. Pity.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Sorry.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

It's alright.

My sister is still quite injured is all.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Has she been to a hospital?

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

Of course not. I hired doctors.

My ex tortured her for a good twelve hours.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

Your ex tortured her? Jesus, who do you hang out with?

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

My ex was our old boss.

[know-how-u-feel.livejournal.com]

What the fuck is up with guys dating their bosses? It never ends well. Ever.

[onthe-threshold.livejournal.com]

It wasn't really dating, and it wasn't my idea.
