While it was true that I had considered experimenting with my power, I was a bit frightened of what would happen. Would I be stuck in one gender and age if I stayed like that for too long? Would I be forever stuck if I tried making love and got pregnant? Fortunately, mom cut in before I could find the words to answer.
"Trust me on this, Hannah, you will want to wait a little while longer before experimenting with your meta-human abilities." Serious, she said. "Pushing your boundaries can and will lead to injury."
"How do you know, Mrs Hannah?" Curious, Julia asked.
Mom smiled, almost sadly. "Please, it's Ms Hanson." Calmly, she corrected. "I have completely severed ties with my husband and his name, minus my son... when he is around." She sighed, "To answer your question, how do you think Hannah became a meta-human?"
Julia gasped. "You're a meta-human too?"
Mom nodded. "I am though I prefer to keep my powers a secret for now." Serious, she said. "Also, I will thank you to keep mine and my child's powers a secret."
"I won't tell anyone, I promise." Serious, Julia said. "But... have you tried to make yourself older or live the life of a girl beyond home?"
I shook my head. "Mom has been rather protective of me when it came to being Hannah." Blushing, I replied. "Something about being too cute..."
Mom sighed, rolling her eyes. "As Hannah, she gives off an aura that attracts boys." Calmly, she explained. "I have been helping her control that. You see, this attraction can potentially give her the power to persuade boys into doing her bidding."
"Which draws attention to the fact she is a meta-human." Sighing, Julia said.
Mom nodded. "Exactly..."
"What can she do as Hanson?" Curious, Julia asked.
Mom giggled. "Well, you saw for yourself that as Hanson, he can swoon the ladies if he tries but he seems to only have eyes for one."
Julia blushed at that then turned to me, a mischievous twinkle slowly forming in her eye. Seeing it, I took a step back, worried. "I know that look, Julia." Wincing, I said. "What's on your mind?"
"Just taking my BFF shopping for a fashion up date." Grinning, she said. She turned to mom. "Would it be okay if I promise to keep the boys at bay?"
Mom giggled. "I have been a bit over protective as of late." Smiling, she said. "I'll allow it so long as you don't embarrass her too much."
At this point, I was still eleven year old Hannah and because mom's agreeing to me going shopping for girl's clothes worried me so, I found I could not change back to fifteen or to my male self. Before I knew it, i was being dragged out of the house to mom's car where she drove us both to the mall...
