“In fact I have a deal for you. You take missing link, go to my daughter and give it to her. If I get just the faintest whiff that you plan on causi...ng trouble for me, you won’t see the start of a new day.”“Is that a threat?” Malcolm questions innocently.Rick turns away from the window to glare down at the man. His face darkens and his tone gets deeper. “It’s not a threat, it’s a promise,” he warns. “Now, leave before I have security remove you.”Malcolm stands up, smiles and then walks out. I just had ignore the splitting pain, focus, and think about my finger not being sliced open. As I thought clearly of my finger being back to normal, my powers had made it so. I sighed heavily as I looked my healed finger over and shook my hand a few times just to be sure it wasn’t going to fall off. After I cleaned up the blood, I gazed at the knife again. I thought about my ability to heal rapidly and so, I decided to put myself through another experiment. Now I wasn’t one to self-harm, but I. I was due to go out for a few drinks with mates but on the last minute was cancelled, so had to stay in my room for the night. I imagined the party was going well as i heard the usual giggles and laughs. Within the hour i got a call from one of my mums friends to come down and be there model, i felt quite embarrassed as my mum was there but agreed, as i entered the room there was three friends of my mum and her. They were all dressed in the usual stuff like nurses and policewomen, i also. And of course before leaving she had given no thought to how she was dressed: an old black t-shirt with a bust of Beethoven on the front, an even older pair of raggedy denim cut-offs, and rubber flip-flops.Not very enticing, she thought.She didn’t care.She marched through the entrance, took the elevator to the floor where James lived, entered his suite and, forcing herself not to think about what she was doing, knocked on his door. It wasn’t until he answered that Diana’s resolve deserted.
