a panel entitled “The Impact of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on how Mundanes Might View Empowered Individuals in an Open Society.” It was moderated by Simon Pald, a Rank Three Telekinetic who has an MFA in Comics. I thought Houston was just screwing with me, but damn if such a degree doesn’t exist.
Apparently Brynwolf is holding a lecture tomorrow called “Jedi or Sith?: Psionics, the Force, and the Ethical Use of Power.” The lecture is being held in the largest auditorium of the convention and is already booked solid.
The entire College of Psionics is run by geeks. And they wonder why the Colleges of High Magic have a hard time taking them seriously.
I’m surprised to see Laurie’s mother, and Megan, walk through the shop door.
“Darlene!” I say and give her a hug. "Hey, sweetie!" I say to Megan.
“Aunt Nancy, I missed you soooo much you have been gone forever!” she says as she wraps herself around my waist.
“Laurie had a doctor’s appointment today so we are having a girl’s day out and were in the neighborhood,” says Darlene. “She wanted to stop in and see Nanna Wanda’s store.”
“Have you been having fun?” I ask Megan.
She nods her head vigorously. “First, we went to breakfast and I got blueberry pancakes. Then , we went dress shopping, because we have school pictures coming up and Nanna Darlene said that was reason for a new dress. Then , we went shoe shopping because the dress we picked. I don’t have any shoes that match. And then, we went to lunch.” She dramatically raises and lowers her shoulders. “I’m exhausted!”
I try not to laugh.
While Megan is focused on me, Darlene gentle touches my forearm and mouths, “Is Wanda around?” I shake my head. Darlene nods.
“Aunt Nancy, can you show me around the shop. I haven’t been here since Nana Wanda went to Heaven.”
“I said we would just stop in and say hello,” says Darlene. “Nancy is busy.”
“It’s fine. We can walk around. I can show the new crystal display my employees set up.”
“Does Nana Wanda have employees in Heaven?”
“Your Nana always liked to do everything herself,” I reply and distract her with glistening crystal figurines of fairies and unicorns and other supernatural creatures.
“I like that one!” says Megan as she points at a blonde fairy figure with green translucent wings and a green and blue glass stand that resembles a pond. “Can I get one with red hair?”
“How much is the figure, Nancy?” says Darlene as she reaches into her purse.
I wave a hand. “Don’t you dare. I can order her one with red hair. Someone has a birthday coming up, after all.”
“That’s me!” exclaims Megan. “I’m going to be seven!”
“Do you want to wait for Aunt Nancy to order you a red haired one, or do you want to take that one?”
Megan bites her lower lip and her little face focuses intently as she ponders this as only a child would. “I think this one wants to come home with me to be honest,” she finally says and gingerly picks up the figure.
“Deal, but that’s your birthday present. Don’t look at me with those doe eyes next week expecting another one.”
“Thank you, Aunt Nancy!”
“I’ll get a box and some packing material so you can get it home in one piece.” I go behind the counter and retrieve a box.
I hear Darlene whisper to Megan, “You know, if you want your fairy to be red-haired, Nanna Darlene can do that for you right now.”
“Yes, please!”
Darlene takes the figure and transmutes it so that the hair is bright red.
What is it about grandparents sabotaging their kids’ plans for their own children?
“Wow, look at that. Won’t your parents be surprised?!” I say as I give Darlene a concerned look. Darlene responds with a knowing smirk.
Both Darlene and her husband are Rank Three Transmuters. Both come from well-established hereditary magic families. Neither was happy when Laurie decided to not take her Rank Three trials and instead
