My first ever, Misfits fanfiction. I hope you guys enjoy this. I absolutely love this show, and I'm having a lot of fun writing this. Leave feedback/predictions. It's cool to see what you guys think will happen. This is rated T for language, sexual references, and possibly a sexual scene in the future. Not sure yet. Also for drug use and drinking. Nothing worse than what you would see on the show it's self.
Emma stood in her shower, and lathered shampoo into her hair as she belted out the song that was currently stuck in her head. She didn't usually go for Top 40 music, but she could not get the song off her mind no matter how hard she tried. Instead of fighting it, she embraced it. It was just the kind of girl she was. "I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love, and I'm like FUCK YOU! WOO HOOHOOO!" As she sang along, the rhythm her shampooing her hair matched the rhythm of the song that she sang acapella.
Nathan walked down the street on his way to community service, as always, right when he was about to put the earphones for his ipod in his ears, he heard a girl, with a great voice, singing. He stopped and listened. From the sound of it, it was coming from the house he was currently in front of. Out of the window on the second story. He hadn't heard this song before, but it sounded good when she sang it. Whoever she was.
"Well, I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari, but that don't mean I can't get you there!" She belted out the lyrics, taking the handheld shower head off of the stand and signing into it like it was a microphone. Since she was home alone, she didn't hold back. She must have forgotten the window was open.
Nathan smiled as he listened to her. Was she someone famous? He looked around and realized that nobody else was listening. Apparently she wasn't. but whoever she was, she was gifted.
"I guess she's an Xbox, and I'm more Atari, but the way you play your game ain't fair!"
Nathan found himself laughing slightly at those lyrics. "Smooth." He whispered to himself. He looked at his watch and regrettably left the sidewalk in front of the singing girl's house to head to his community service. As much as he didn't want to go, he didn't want to go to jail even more. He broke into a small run, not wanting to be late at all. Especially now that they were getting a new probation worker. Their last one… didn't work out so well.
After thoroughly cleaning and then rinsing off her body, Emma got out of the shower, toweled off and then began getting dressed, not realizing the time. She slipped on her favorite def leopard t-shirt and pulled on some jeans, and then combed out her now dry, long brown hair. After wrapping a hair-tie around her wrist for later, just in case, she grabbed her purse, put her keys in them and then checked the clock. "Shit. I'm late." She ran down the stairs, and locked the door before running to the community center.
Nathan stood outside with the other workers in their orange jumpsuits, scrubbing some graffiti off of the wall.
"This is bollocks!" Kelly exclaimed. "I don't see why dey make uz clean dis shi oop. It's just gonna' 'appen again and we be right back out 'ere tomorrow!"
Curtis shrugged. "It could be worse." He tried to make things better, even though he knew she was right. But he knew it was better than jail, so he wasn't too upset.
Shaun, the new probation worker, walked out with two people behind him, only one of them in an orange jumpsuit. "Hey guys," He started. "These are new members to your 'team'" The five of them turned to look at the new people Shaun was talking about. "This is Ollie," he said, pointing with his thumb to the guy. "And uh, what was your name love?"
The girl gave Shaun a confused look and then replied "Emma." She rolled her eyes and looked off at the wall that Curtis was previously scrubbing paint off of.
"I'm sure you'll all get along and play nice, yeah?" Shaun said sarcastically, followed by shaking his head and going back inside to his office.
"Why aren't you wearing a uniform?" A pale, dark-haired guy asked her.
"They ran out." She replied, still looking at the wall, then turning to look at him, and giving him an empty smile.
He nodded his head, seeming content with that answer.
"You can wear mine." A beautiful, dark skinned girl with curly, poofy hair replied.
"I'm good, thanks." She smiled, a small chuckle in her throat.
"So, do any of you guys have any of these strange powers?" Ollie asked, a weird, wide grin on his face.
Emma furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him, obviously judging his sanity. Nathan laughed, shaking his head.
"You can't tell me none of you have them… from that storm a little over a month ago…?"
Emma watched as the rest of the group looked to each other cautiously, exchanging nervous glances. Emma smiled to herself. "I can fly."
"Really?" Ollie looked at her, his eyes wide and eager, as were the others around her.
"Pfft, no." She laughed, crossing in front of him to take a seat next to the pale guy at the picnic table.
Nathan laughed lightly and held his arms out drawing more attention to himself, continuing on with her joke "I'm immortal!" He smiled, even though he actually was. "Don't touch her, unless you wanna' get fucked!" Nathan laughed, as the poofy haired girl slapped his stomach. Emma smiled, so Nathan kept going. "He turns back time, and she can read minds, and well, weird-kid turns invisible."
Ollie started babbling to Nathan about how he was a prick and Emma turned her attention to the guy next to her. "I don't think you're weird." She smiled.
He looked over at her and smiled, then turned away quickly, feeling his cheeks turn red.
"What's your name?" She asked, leaning forward, trying to win back his eye-contact.
"Simon." He said, looking at her slowly.
"It's nice to meet you, Simon." She smiled and nodded. She opened her mouth to start a conversation, but before she could, she heard the tallest of the four guys, trying to separate Ollie from Nathan.
"I can too teleport!" Ollie yelled, Nathan laughing as he kept shouting insults to him, riling him up even more. A girl with a tightly pulled back pony tail was smacking Nathan, trying to get him to back off, while the other girl just stood and watched, laughing.
Emma stood up and put two fingers in her mouth and whistled, causing everyone to stop where they were. "Jesus, no wonder you people are serving community service. You're a bunch of fools. Just calm your tits and get to work. Let's just get our time in, yeah?" She raised her brow watching them, waiting for a response.
Curtis put his arms down, but stayed between the two guys just in case. Ollie, adjusted his shirt and had a smug look on his face, as if he had won and Nathan smiled and winked at Emma before turning around and picking his brush back up, washing the part of wall he was working on before Shaun had interrupted them to introduce her and Ollie. The girl with a ponytail smacked the back of his head for good measure and then returned to her section.
"What was that for?" He asked, faking a look of shock.
"You're such a dick." She shook her head, scrubbing the wall.
Emma smiled, and walked over to where there were fliers glued to the wall and started chipping them off with the chisel Shaun had given her to use. Simon stood next to her and worked away at the fliers with her, glancing at her occasionally.
"So," Emma started, looking over to him, "care to tell me who everyone is?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well," Simon started, looking past her and pointing to the tallest of the guys. "That's Curtis. He was a runner before, so you may know him. He use to be famous." He said quietly enough, so that just she could hear.
"I don't follow any sports, but that's kinda' cool I guess." She shrugged. Simon smiled and looked down at his feet, then back up.
"That's Alisha. Kelly, Nathan and .. Well you know Ollie."
"Kelly seems nice." She smiled, returning to chipping the fliers off of the wall.
"Sometimes. She has anger problems with Nathan a lot. And apparently other people. I think that's why she's here."
"Maybe they deserved it." She shrugged, glancing at him and then brushing some of the fallen paper off of her pants, shaking her head.
