Chapter 6 - Fashion Model ?

That night the "Miracle of Mission Viejo" was on all the TV news programs and online news sites. Sasha watched the TV with much interest, sitting with her parents and sisters in the living room as they often did. The Beauty several times glanced at Sasha, but Sasha ignored Silvana.

The next morning as Sasha and Silvana waited patiently in Sasha's SUV for the Elf to find her shoes her sister said, "Very interesting that you said you'd make those kidnappers pay if you could. Kind of sad that someone else beat you to it."

"Yes, it is."

Silvana sniffed. "Be that way."

"Be what way?" Gianna said as she slammed the rear passenger door.

Silvana said, "Nothing. Just Great Athlete here being stupid."

The Elf plunked her book bag on the floor and clicked her seat belt closed. "Sasha is never stupid." She paused, said, "Silly, though..." Her face creased in a smile of great wide-eyed innocence.

"Wunna these days, Elf..." Sasha held up a fisted hand and shook it as she drove out of the driveway.

The Miracle was a seven-day wonder. The torturer's insistence that they had been visited by a demon was touted by their attorneys as proof they were innocent or guilty of lesser offenses due to insanity.

The district attorney in charge of the case claimed it was an obvious attempt to evade responsibility, a transparent one because each of the five said exactly the same thing. Their confession to deliberately killing their first victim ensured they would get the maximum penalty, said a legal expert, because the police had given them proper Miranda warnings and proceeded very deliberately and with all attention to proper details.

Martha Cunningham testified weeks later at the trial that her rescuer, the missing victim, seemed to be an ordinary girl who was merely very strong. By then the trial and its inevitable conclusion was only a back-page news story.

In the spring Sasha received her invitation from the Olympic authorities to join the American team in her specialties. This long-awaited invitation was met by her supporters with great delight. Sasha celebrated properly with those who were local and pretended to share their feelings. But by now her powers had become so extraordinary that she had to carefully hide them. Competition with ordinary humans was no competition, and so no longer fun to her.

She went through the motions of practicing and otherwise preparing for the Olympics and kept up her straight-A academic average. Her college applications were all approved. She could go anywhere she wanted. But she was not sure she wanted to go to college.

Instead she was thinking about how she could use her superhuman abilities to fight crime. That odd comic-book idea had grown upon her. She might eventually decide it was pointless, or give it up after trying it. But for now she intended to at least consider it. It surely offered plenty of challenges.

Becoming an ordinary police officer would use too few of her extraordinary abilities—even if she became an extraordinary officer such as an FBI agent.
