Skylight. 001
“Silver, what are you doing?” Wolf asked.
The other girl was flinging silvery fluid against the wall and drawing it back in precise movements, eyes narrowed darkly under thick furrowed brows. They didn’t really have names yet, nor know their own ages beyond that they were children—nor understand their strange new abilities.
And that was at the heart of Wolf’s question. Silver, so called for the substance flowing in and out of her arms with every moment, did not answer.
The little boy they’d started calling Sight sat down next to Wolf and drew his knees to his chest as he stared. He’d called her Wolf for reasons she didn’t yet fully understand, but it had something to do with the things he saw now that he couldn’t see colors and light and dark the way everyone else could.
“She’s punching holes in the world,” he said quietly.
Silver faltered then, a visible reaction, and Wolf stared at him.
“Everything the light touches,” he said, “it’s hers to keep or destroy.”

Skylight. 002
She has a name now. Skylight.
She settles into a rhythm of training, throwing her body into a full spin under lightning arcing from Light Show's fingers, catches herself imperfectly, nearly stumbles. She's up again, kicking and punching against Bridge, blocking Augment, but he hits her with one blow with the force of a truck or a hurricane and she's thrown hard several feet before hitting the wall and slumping.
"Unf." She groans as she tries to stand. Her entire back is a screaming ache, her shoulders protest, and her legs won't carry her up at all. She falls back down again and pants.
