Quoted By:
In effect, these methods can make you curvier although you think it would be easier to just do something like wear a corset, which will just squeeze your elasticity to either side for the desired effect. Not that you really needed these though, you take after your mother and are naturally rather well-endowed to show for it.

Though you'd only aimed to spend about an hour messing around in the woods, you easily forget everything else when you have so much to show for your efforts. After all the experimenting with what you're capable of, you decide to put everything to the test... and have an exhilarating time of it! Running through the woods, climbing and leaping from trees, managing athletic feats you never imagined yourself capable of. It's quite impressive really! And though you have many stumbles and falls, your superhuman toughness carries you through! In actuality you aren't any faster or more agile than an average person, in fact less so since you'd never put much effort into athleticism, but the more you try and exert yourself the more comfortable and used to your body you become and that does wonders for your agility. Any person in shape may be able to surpass you, but you'd put up a strong competition!
And this is as you are, you wonder in time what you may become capable of with continued practice and diligence.
More than just physical exhilaration though, you come to enjoy this exercise and understanding of your body that, for the first time in a long time you begin feeling... comfortable with yourself. Certainly your body at least, not afraid or ashamed of it and your superhuman nature. When it had always been such a burden to you, caused you such troubles and upset through most of your life. Of course you can't or won't just turn over a new leaf and suddenly become a new person, your withdrawn nature is who you are and that will surely persist once you leave these woods and return to your normal life. But for your own self-esteem, maybe you'll feel less like of an alien in your own skin and less of a freak around the people in your life. To be able to make the best of what you didn't ask for, but what you have. And hey, you suppose it could be worse considering your superpower doesn't make you stand out in a crowd compared to some of the more extreme superhumans you know of.
In any case you end up running yourself to exhaustion and enjoying every minute of it, losing track of time in the process. Panting for breath and distorting your chest a little from it, the ringing of your phone is what reminds you of the rest of the world.

Late into the afternoon now, soon to be evening, real life tries to draw you back with claws. There's dad calling you about you know what, but also numerous messages from Chris and Kelly, your friends.
