Orphanage for Supernatural Kids

Jaime Cross

Jaime took off her hat and ran a hand through her hair.
"Certainly is. Name's Jaime, what's yours?"

Orphanage for Supernatural Kids

Name: Jaime Cross

Age: 16

Power: Control over and communion with insects. If she's indoors, her power affects bugs in the room she's in. If outdoors, or in an especially large room, her control extends to a twenty foot radius. Nearby bugs will gravitate towards her and become agitated if she experiences strong emotion.

Bio: Jaime was always kind of a bitter kid. It's natural when you're a rebellious kid with overly controlling parents. They had the outward appearance of supporters of people with different abilities, but Jaime could always tell it wasn't genuine. So, when her powers first started developing, she tried to hide them as best she could. If she had a more glamorous power, like invisibility or shape-shifting, maybe she would have been okay, but bugs? That would never fly with her parents. She was able to keep her power on the down-low for a few years, but as it got stronger, hiding it got harder. She found herself bombarded with primitive voices in her mind that she realized belonged to the insects. The constant barrage of thoughts left her anxious and constantly on edge. The situation reached its inevitable conclusion during the cicadas' breeding frenzy. The noise, hitting her from both inside her head and outside, pushed her close to her breaking point. It was a fight with her mother that finally pushed her over the edge. She would quickly forget what the argument was about, but she lost her cool. She blew up, and the cicadas blew up along with her. They burst from the trees and flew around her, and her secret was out. After that was a blur of shouts and sobs culminating in Jaime's expulsion from her home. Soon enough, she learned of the benefactor and the orphanage. With what little money she had, she traveled across several cities and made it to the orphanage to find somewhere to live.

She was surprised by the frustrated woman that greeted her and the other girl with her. She followed the woman to an already heavily populated gym.
Go next? For what, she wondered. Well, no better way to find out than to watch.
She sat down and waited for something to happen.

Jaime's legs ached as she approached her destination. At first, getting on her feet after several hours on various buses seemed like a welcome change, but after walking all the way to the outskirts of the city, all she wanted to do was sit down. Flies buzzed around her head, not fazed by her attempts to wave them away.
Standing in front of the entrance to the orphanage, she took a long drag from her cigarette before putting it out.
She knocked on the door, hoping things would work out here.

Why can't you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom?
