"Wait." Kelly said, stopping in her tracks and staring at the mirror that showed her daughter, "There's something far more important that I need to do first."
Kelly had been away from her daughter for years. Decades even, when her ex had filed for divorce and successfully stolen custody of Emily from her and had proceeded to make her life a living hell that she had endured only because she had lacked the 'courage' to end it all. Instead she had carried on with the mockery that her life had become, trudging and toiling day after day hoping that her life would get better, that she'd be able to see her daughter again. To be a mother once more. But she knew that those days were long past; Emily was an adult now and had long been poisoned by her father's lies, and Kelly's own downward spirals doing little to improve the image of her mother as a complete and total failure.
But now, she could fix that. She could fix everything.
With a wave of her hand a thought, Kelly's body tightened and shifted as the years slid away and the damage her addictions had caused vanished like dust in the wind until coming to a halt at twenty-three years old.The energy of youth boiled and churned within her body and Kelly felt truly alive for the first time since...she couldn't even remember when. But that was only the start of her plans as she pulsed another change through reality, her worn down apartment in the city folding in on itself, dirty walls and cheap furniture collapsing into nothingness before folding back outwards again; this time as an immaculate, expensive home overlooking settled amongst rich green foliage as the shimmering blue ocean lapped gently at a golden sand beach in the near distance. Even her clothing changed from a standard, somewhat threadbare business suit to elegant yet functional housewear that looked and felt on her youthful body as though it was made of the finest silks and threads. As the changes concluded bird song and a warm breeze filled the house and Kelly took a moment to be thoroughly awed at it all. But she quickly pushed aside her reverie. There was work to be done still.
"And now to make sure that I never need to work again!" Kelly proclaimed "There is several billion dollars of legally gained money sitting in a highly secure vault, as well as lucrative, sound investments on the markets!" She said excitedly, and though she saw no immediate change to her new surroundings she could feel the power pulsing as it worked, creating bank accounts filled with cash.
