Of everything Gillian picked up from Faith, the overriding feeling was that the older girl didn't want her to know something, so... she shoved aside her curiosity and let it go. Although she made a mental note: a guy named Dean.

She jumped when Faith touched her. "Don't," she said. "I mean... you have to be careful. I don't want to hurt you." Gillian took a deep breath. "The doctors at Paragon said that when my powers happen I project an electromagnetic field that makes people bleed. So if you've got a cut or a bruise or anything I can make it worse. A lot worse. And if you have your period or an ulcer or something..." She shrugged helplessly. "I can't control them yet, so I never know if I hurt someone until it's too late."

Gillian's voice reflected her sorrow and loneliness, even if she wouldn't look at Faith. God, she missed being touched, being hugged. But she would never risk it - and certainly not with someone she cared about. Not until things were under control.

((You get to decide if she's made Faith's bruises worse or not! XD))
