I am no longer a little girl, I'm not her anymore.
How long had it been since Charlotte had last seen what she had considered to be home? Seen those that she had called mom and dad? Two years now or maybe longer. Time went by rather quickly when you were in hiding after all and she was. Hiding from the Rogue Society that had ruined her life and stolen her away from Conall and Janet. Kiros Monroe had had plans for her but she had been able to escape from the terrorist society but she was still afraid even after two years of being free from them. Would they find her again? Take her back and make her do what they wanted?
Easy answer. They could damn well try. The now teenage Charlotte had learned a lot on her own. She had learned how to take care of herself without the need of adults though that was mainly with the use of her power to help her steal food and keep the shadier sort of people away from her. It was a frightening experience and there were many times she just wanted to go back home but she didn't have that anymore. She could have gone to Rose again but given that the woman had given her up before, why should she?
Conall and Janet no longer lived where they had before when Charlotte had sought them out. Had they moved on? Given up on finding her? It had taken her some time to find her way back so it wasn't too much of a surprise that they were no longer there but it hurt just the same.
Charlotte missed them as well, mainly Conall since she had grown close with him but Janet as well. Maybe she would cross paths with them again though would they even recognize her at this point? She had gone from being a child to a teenager which was a confusing transition when on her own but she made due with it as best she could.
The young girl had been living from place to place, always on the move out of paranoia and she had finally made her way back to New York City again. Her clothes were a bit old and worn but at least it was something for the homeless girl. Dodging taxis and various other traffic, she crossed over to the sidewalk and just peered into the windows of different shops. Shoplift? It was tempting since her powers made it easier.
