Chapter 357 - The Servant Gun - Jane Powers, turn 357

Go watch Velocity at the go-kart track to see how her divine driving abilities are developing then Skip ahead to Velocity's sixteenth birthday when she takes her driver's test then surprising her with her custom car after she passes

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stand at the edge of the go-kart track in the mansion's entertainment dome, watching as Velocity Riot zooms around the course at speeds that would make professional racers envious. Despite being physically only twelve, her divine driving abilities are manifesting with extraordinary precision.

The track itself is a marvel of engineering—Rebecca and Maxine collaborated to create a course with spatial expansion technology that fits a professional-grade Formula 1 circuit into what appears from the outside to be merely the size of a basketball court. The karts themselves are custom-built with enhanced safety features that can withstand impacts at speeds up to 200 mph, though you've limited them to "only" 120 mph for now.

"Fucking watch this, Divine Mother!" Velocity shouts as she approaches a hairpin turn at maximum speed. Instead of slowing down, she executes a perfect drift, her kart sliding sideways with millimeter precision before accelerating out of the turn without losing momentum.

Tina stands beside you, her punk aesthetic unchanged despite motherhood, a stopwatch in hand. "She just broke her previous record by 2.3 seconds," she says with unmistakable pride. "The kid's a natural. Though I guess that's what happens when you literally program someone to be a driving prodigy."

Velocity completes five more laps, each one faster than the last, before finally bringing her kart to a halt in front of you. Her blue-streaked blonde hair is windswept, her eyes bright with divine energy.

"Did you see that? I calculated the optimal racing line for this track. The standard racing line is inefficient by 7.4%. I created my own that accounts for the kart's specific weight distribution and tire composition." Her divine intelligence shines through her punk exterior as she rattles off complex physics equations.

"I'm impressed," you acknowledge. "Your abilities are developing even faster than projected."

"Just wait until I get my hands on a real car," she says with a grin. "These karts are fun toys, but I need something with real power."

___________________________________________________________________________

Four years later, you stand outside the Riverside DMV, where sixteen-year-old Velocity Riot has just completed her driver's test. The building's doors burst open, and Velocity strides out, now a stunning teenager with her mother's punk aesthetic—blue-streaked blonde hair, multiple piercings, and a leather jacket adorned with patches. Her divine heritage is evident in her perfect posture and the subtle glow of her skin.

"Perfect score," she announces, waving her temporary license. "The examiner said he's never seen anyone handle a vehicle with such precision. Wanted to know if I'd been driving illegally for years." She laughs, the sound musical despite her punk appearance.

Tina embraces her daughter. "Fucking told you you'd ace it! Not that there was ever any doubt."

Maxine and Rebecca approach from around the corner of the building, where they've been waiting with your surprise. "Now that you're officially licensed," Maxine says with scientific precision, "I believe there's something waiting for you."

You gesture toward the parking lot where a vehicle sits under a black cover. "A graduation present."

Velocity's eyes widen, and she races over at divine speed. She tears off the cover to reveal a custom Blackwood Sovereign SUV—midnight black with electric blue accents that match her hair streaks. The vehicle is larger than standard models, clearly enhanced with spatial expansion technology, with custom rims and specialized tires.

"Holy fucking shit!" she exclaims, running her hands over the hood. "This is... this is beautiful!"

"Custom-built," Rebecca explains. "Reinforced frame, advanced navigation system, emergency transformation field for defensive purposes, and several other enhancements. We've been working on it since your twelfth birthday."

"Take it for a spin," you suggest, tossing her the keys.

Velocity doesn't need to be told twice. She jumps into the driver's seat, adjusts everything with practiced ease, and starts the engine. The powerful purr brings a smile to her face. "It sounds perfect."

She pulls out of the parking lot with surprising restraint, but once on the main road, she accelerates—only to frown slightly as she watches the speedometer. She pushes the accelerator further, but the vehicle won't go beyond 39 mph in the 45 mph zone.

"What the fuck?" she mutters, then louder: "What the actual fuck?"

She pulls over and opens the hood, examining the engine with divine insight. After a moment, she starts laughing—a mixture of frustration and admiration.

"You programmed it to stay six below the limit, didn't you?" she calls out as you approach. "And the speedometer reads higher than actual speed. That's fucking evil. I love it and hate it at the same time."

"Consider it your final driving lesson," you reply with a smile. "The restriction can be removed when you prove you can handle the responsibility."

"Challenge accepted," she says, her divine determination evident. "I'll be the most responsible fucking driver on the planet. Then we'll see what this beauty can really do."
