people and bottles with pictures of plants. I walked all over and finally found the food. I grabbed a few things that I thought would make a nice dinner and went to the front. I waited in line, watching, and learned that I had to put my items on a black belt to take them to the lady behind the counter. She took my items and ran them over a red light and then placed them in an odd crinkly bag. She told me the total and I pulled out my money and handed it to her. She looked at me like I’d lost my mind, took one bill and then counted back a handful of smaller bills, with some coins. I realized that the money that I had was much more than I’d thought! I shoved my money in my pocket and grabbed the bag. I left quickly before she gave me that look anymore!
                  Walking back across the car parking area, I heard a blood-curdling scream! I looked in the direction that it came from and saw a man in his late teens or early twenties attempting to yank a backpack from a girl about my age! I looked around at the people nearby and realized that everyone had seen it happening and they were doing their best to pretend that they hadn’t. I started in the direction of the altercation when the man hit the girl in the face! Where I come from, men don’t hit women like that. I was stunned that I’d witnessed that and took off running to assist the girl. The man saw me coming and met me with what would have been a painful shot to the ribs. Unfortunately for him, my shield was active and I heard the bones in his hand crunch. I grabbed him with my free hand; hit him with a low power stun and levitation . I flipped him in the air and let him land solidly on the ground.
                  The girl jumped up and said, “Do you have a car?” I shook my head and she said, “Run!”
                  I didn’t know what we were running from because I wasn’t worried about the man on the ground. He’d be unconscious for a good five minutes and we could walk and be far from him. She led me a mile down a long sidewalk that abruptly ended. There were woods off to our left and she led me under the cover of the trees. We were both winded and sat with our backs against a tree, breathing.
                  After we caught our breath the girl said, “Thank you so much. Everything I own in the world is in this bag and that ass was trying to take it. Does my face look okay? He hit really hard! I’m Amber, by the way.”
                  I bowed slightly, while sitting. “It’s nice to meet you, Amber, and I wish it could have been under better circumstances. Your face is beautiful… I mean, I think your face will be fine. If it hurts, I know a trick that might help.”
                  She blushed, almost as much as I knew I had, at my slip. “Thank you. A girl likes to hear that a cute young man thinks she’s beautiful. My face does hurt, and if you think you can do something that doesn’t involve getting naked to make if feel better, I’d be happy.”
                  I blushed. “I’d do anything to make you happy. Give me your hand.” She put her hand in mine and I rubbed her palm gently to distract. I sent healing coursing through her, repairing the damage to her face and it would take care of any other problems she might have. I hoped she didn’t have any pet scars because psi healing removed those, too.
                  She inhaled sharply at the surprise of the pain leaving her so quickly. She smiled at me and my heart did flips. I’d been around girls all my life, since my mother was the head instructor at the wizard’s school, and they all dressed in very tight clothes as per my father’s selection two decades ago. None of them had ever had that effect on me. I’d been flirted with often and felt nothing, but now this girl smiling at me gave me butterflies!
                  “That feels so much better! How did you do that?
