Aftershock.

Nine year old Julian looked out her window at the chaos below. Buildings crumbling, cars parked and crashed on the sides of the road, bodies of men, women and even children lay on the ground. It's impossible to tell if they're living or dead from the tall building in which Julian awaited her father's return. People had been fighting for weeks now. Humans vs mutants. Julian's uncle had been right. Humans would never accept mutants. My father would never accept me if he knew what I was. Julian thought to herself knowing full well about her mutant abilities. Julian jumped slightly when the door to her room opened suddenly. Standing in the door way was a man. He was wearing red and purple armor and a long red cape. He had short gray hair underneath a red helmet. Julian looked up at him and was about to run to him when another man burst in, tacking the man in the process. The second man had short brown hair that was messy and full of dirt and mud. He glanced up at Julian, his green eyes full of fear and panic "Run Julian! I'll find you!" Julian ran out the door then stopped and looked back at the men as they wrestled "Daddy be careful!" The dark haired man looked back at Julia "I will dear now run!" he yelled. Julian quickly turned and ran while muttering "Be careful uncle Erik."
When she reached the bottom floor of her apartment building she was about to scream because there were mutants everywhere in the room but a man, about 20, came up behind her and clamped a cloth over her mouth. She looked up to see that the man had blond hair and blue eyes. That was all she could tell before passing out.
When Julian woke up she was in her room. Or it looked like her room. The windows were covered and her door was locked. Her room back home didn't have a lock. She walked over to the window and pulled the cover off the window and looked outside. She was on the other side of town. In the mutant half. The ground below was completely calm. All that was left was the vibrations in the air. Something that Julian could always feel. Any vibrations in the air whether it was the wind or someone moving. It made it hard for people to sneak up on the young girl but when she's distracted she hardly even feels the vibrations. She's also able to create shock waves. She sighed as she looked at the wrecked city below. "This is the aftershock of battle." She said to herself.
