Janey showed up just as I’d planned. All I had done was a little subliminal advertising. A whisper here, a comment there, and practically everyone in El Paso was heading to Cactus Cavern for all ages night, which I had also suggested. All I had to do was imagine the place, send it to someone and it would be in their thoughts. I was getting better and better at this over the past few months, so I might as well put it to good use.
She was cuter than I had remembered. Older. I didn’t know what she’d done, but she looked good. I tried to put that out of my mind as I put on my too-cool-for-you act that I was becoming far too good at. I lit a cigarette and put on the act. A couple of hand offs to the right people, flash a wad of bills, give a few cold stares… it was working. The kids around here were terrified of me. It was a little bit hilarious and a little bit pathetic. I could get them to do anything I wanted.
What I wasn’t ready for was the fact that she’d be tied into the whole Thunderbird thing. I knew it was important that I train her – her dad had told me to, but when I saw that necklace glowing around her neck, damn. This was probably going to be more than a simple training gig.
She must have been pretty surprised herself. Then, when she saw my thunderbird and began to put two and two together… it made me wonder how she’d gotten it in the first place. She was probably pretty freaked out. I knew about all this weird shit, but it was all new for her. I’d have to introduce her to all of this a little at a time so she didn’t freak out.
I was relieved when she went with me to the desert. We didn’t get much training done, just built up a little trust and tried to get a sense of her abilities. She was going to be really, really strong. That much I knew, but she had a rather unfortunate crush on me, and I wasn’t sure what to do about that because I felt the same way about her and that just seemed like a bad, bad idea. My plan was to keep my distance as much as possible. That would be safest for her, anyway. Good luck training her and keeping your distance, cabrón. The whole training required emotional connection so I could tap into her energy. Muy buena suerte, because I was definitely gonna need it.
