Charlotte stood there biting her tongue as Emma gave her a dressing down just outside the doors to Goods Inwards, in front of several customers and worse still... with a smirking Liam nearby. She'd been caught with her mobile phone on her again, which Emma had now confiscated until the end of the day. She just waited until Emma had finished, then offered the usual apologies. This however, did not get her phone returned to her, and Emma just pointed back to Charlotte's assigned section, a stern look on her face.
Looking down on her shorter manager, Charlotte just nodded, and went on her way. But once she was out of earshot she mumbled quite a few profanities to herself, and a certain customer happened to overhear her.
"Excuse me Miss, you look... how can I say this... pissed off?" A tall man dressed in black and wearing shades said to Charlotte, causing her to turn around and look up into his face.
"I am! But who are..."
The man silenced Charlotte... literally... by taking her voice away for a moment with a wave of his hand. "Please, no interruptions. Having observed your actions, and the way others treat you, I have decided you are a suitable vessel for a certain... power." The man explained, as a distressed Charlotte first tried to scream, and then tried to move away from the man, only to find her feet would not move. She panicked as the man continued talking. "You will be capable of exchanging the body parts of those around you without them being aware of a thing. You will get your sweet vengeance, without causing chaos." The man grinned, before suddenly reaching forward and tapping Charlotte on the forehead. A brilliant white flash blinded her for a second as her head was forced back, then when it jerked forward again and she opened her eyes - the man was gone. And she could talk and walk again, much to her relief.
"Who the fuck was that? And what did he do to me?" Charlotte growled, clearly angry and upset. But anger was soon replaced by confusion as she thought about what he had told her. The thing was, as Charlotte took a look at the other people in the store, she knew he'd been speaking the truth. She proved her new power was real by targeting two random customers, a tall man in his 20's and a really short, middle-aged woman. With a mere thought... Charlotte swapped the heights of the two people, the man shrank down to just 4'11", his clothes altering to fit, while the 46-year old woman shot up to 6'0".
"Well fuck me!" Charlotte grinned, putting her hands on her hips.
"Don't let Liz or anyone hear you swearing, you'll be in Emma's office again." A nearby Laura politely reminded her friend and former classmate at school.
"Yeah... whatever!" Charlotte replied, shrugging her shoulders. She suddenly wasn't afraid of Emma any more, or Elizabeth, Liz or anybody else for that matter. She had an amazing new power, and she was going to have some fun with it.
