Falling
I mostly remember falling. And something else...
But I do remember what happened before. And a little bit after...
Do you want to know?
I can give you the sugar coated version, full of light and family love. Don't get me wrong, I like that version enough.
Or I can give you what really happened.
Are you ready?
"Vi! Cover me!" I yelled to the girl across me. Right. Forgot. I'm telling this story to you, and you don't know everything. We- me (my name's Raven),Violet, (you've meet her) Nikki, and Diana (more friends of mine)- were busy kicking Purple Dragon ass on the top of the 51 state street warehouse. She smirked and punched the douche she was fighting, knowing him to the ground.
"And that's for calling me baby." She said kicking him in the side. I roll my eyes and jerk my head for her to follow.
"Nikki! Diana! You got this covered?" I shouted to my partners in crime.
Nikki called back smiling "You hafta ask?". Vi and I began to cross the roof, searching for other PDs.
"Hey, how come you're in human form?" She asked. Did I forget to mention were all mutants? Oops, my bad.
"No real reason. I'll switch back now I think." I shut my eyes and sort of shiver. I feel my very bone structure changing. It was awful the first time, but now I'm used to it. We all are. When I open my eyes I know I look completely different.
"I always liked that form on you." Vi smirked at me. I have black wings folding out from in between my shoulders and feathers covering my face curving around my eyes, but leaving anything under that bare. My arms and legs are covered down to my elbows and knees in tiny iridescent black feathers. I offer a rare small smile.
"Lets go kick some ass." I say quietly. The jump from the building were on to the next is way too far for me to jump usually-it's no problem for Vi, may I point out- but this way I can fly I guess, so no problem right?
I run and jump, holding myself in the air momentarily while one of the thugs turns around and pulls a gun out.
And I mostly remember falling.
