Chapter One: A-Bang Bang Baby
--
"Welcome to the beautiful city of Dakota!"
Sisters, Lux and Morgan were sitting in the backseat of the car as their father talked; both stared absentmindedly out the window. This was the place they were going to live in until they were old enough to escape to college. Groaning, Lux shifted in her seat itching to move around. Morgan just sighed and closed her eyes, willing her father to turn and take them back to California.
"Come on girls, no complaining. You'll love it here!" Their father, James, exclaimed.
"I seriously doubt that Daddy." Lux snapped.
"I agree, Napa was so much better. Why'd we move again?" Morgan added.
"Because I've been commissioned to be out here." James told them, a bit annoyed.
"Oh yea, why do you have to be in the army? It's a pain." Morgan complained.
They didn't mind their dad being in the army. They were actually proud of him, very proud of him. It just pained them to have to move every few years. It was hard to make new friends, especially since they were so different. It's not every day you meet two metahuman sisters: one birthed naturally but enhanced and the other built from scratch.
"Daddy, we have a problem." Lux suddenly piped up.
"What is it darling? Need to go to the bathroom?" James asked his daughter looking at her in the rear view mirror.
"No but if I don't move, I'm going to explode, literally." Lux replied.
"I think we should let her go." Morgan suggested.
James sighed. He knew his daughter wanted to get out and burst into flames but he couldn't allow it. He was actually glad they were going to live in Dakota aka Metahuman City. They'd fit in better, no one would find them too strange. Shaking his head as an answer, he ignored the groans he got in return.
"If I destroy the car and kill you and Morgan, I can't be blamed. You denied me my right to move." Lux lamented before sitting back, still shifting in her seat.
"Dad, I'd rather not die." Morgan told him bluntly.
Then his oldest daughter did the unthinkable, she opened her car door (whilst he was still driving) and let her sister jump out. He watched in horror as Lux hit the ground rolling before stopping and standing up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw there was not a scratch on her. He shouldn't have been so worried though, he had created her to be invincible. Seconds after she stood up, he and Morgan watched as Lux burst into flames and flew into the air and out of sight.
"I hope she has the address to the house." James sighed as Morgan closed the door and sat back with a smile on her face.
"She sure does know how to look good when she does that." She commented and her father chuckled.
The house was in a nice, secluded, and quiet suburb. Morgan loved those three things and she couldn't but smile as she walked into her bedroom. Since he knew his daughters were horribly lazy, James had the movers move everything into the house under his assistant's supervision. All the furniture was beautifully arranged and the house was ready to be lived in when they arrived.
"Knock, knock," Morgan looked up to see her father standing in the doorway.
"Hey Dad, she's not back yet?" She asked, brushing her blonde hair out of her face.
She watched as her father's face scrunched in worry, it was to be expected. He shook his head at her, to indicate that Lux had not returned to the house.
"No, she's not back yet. I was thinking about going to look for her." He replied.
"It's going to be fine Daddy, Luxy is one tough bitch. Pardon my language, and she can take care of herself."
James nodded but Morgan could tell he was still worried, bordering on panic even. Sighing she stood up and smiled at him, reassuring him.
"I'll go look for her." She offered.
"No, then you'll go missing and I'll be a mess." James bit his lip and began to pace.
"Be back soon!" Morgan called as she ran out the room.
James sighed and sat on his daughter's bed before putting his head in his hands. He had expected this, or at least that's what he told himself. It was something he had spent many years prior to this coming to terms with. His girls were special and they weren't going to deny that to themselves. No matter how much he wanted them to.

"Mr. Willows, would you like to meet your newest child?" A grinning scientist, covered in sweat, asked him.
James nodded and followed her as she led him to a nursery. There were two beds, one for his first daughter Morgan who was next to be enhanced. In the other was the most beautiful little girl he had ever seen. Her skin was silky caramel colored, her hair was shimmering silver and her eyes were a fathomless ocean blue. He found himself hypnotized by her.
"She's gorgeous, both her and her sister are gorgeous," His voice broke, "And they're both mine, one by blood and the other thanks to my wife's research."
"Yes, Mr. Willows, you have been assigned to be their guardian until they are called for." The scientist replied.
He picked up his Morgan, looking into the blonde's forest green eyes and walked her over to the new child.
"This is your sister baby girl, and you two are going to be close. You're going to be inseparable and you'll always protect each other, okay?" He whispered to her.
In response, Morgan stretched her arms out, as if to grab the other girl and James set her down in the crib. Both he and the scientist watched in wonder as the two embraced and held each other before falling to sleep.
"What's her name?" James asked.
"Lux Aeterna," The scientist responded.
Lux and Morgan. Morgan and Lux. James couldn't help smile at his two girls. If only his wife had been alive to see them. He wondered if she'd be as happy and as proud as he was.
"Come on now Mr. Willows, it's time for them to be taken to genetics."
And at that he was reluctantly led away.

Morgan looked everywhere for her sister. It shouldn't have been that hard to find her. How many people had hair was white as snow. Hopefully, she mused, not that many. It was getting later and later and the streets were getting less crowded. Picking up her pace she continued looking for Lux.
"Come on, where are you?" She hissed as a street light above her came on.
Her dad was going to kill them both and they'd be grounded before they even started school.
"Hey there precious, you lost?" She heard someone ask from behind her and she froze, turning around to face a thuggish looking man.
"No, I know exactly where I am." She bluffed.
"Then you should know to not wonder into these parts beautiful." He chuckled as he advanced on her.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god…" She breathed before turning and taking off in the opposite direction.
She could hear the man behind her and she sped up. She did her best to stay in the middle of the street as she ran; she couldn't let him catch her. She'd be mugged for sure, maybe even worse. Where the hell are you Lux?! Her thoughts screamed as she reached a dead end. She screeched to a halt and turned to face her pursuer.
"Leave me alone!" She ordered.
He just walked towards her, and she noticed something she had not earlier. He was completely black and purple, like a shadow. As he got closer he seemed to get closer.
"No one tells me what to do." He hissed.
And then everything became shrouded in darkness…

Bad way to end it but it's a good start right? I'm sorry for the really sappy flashback but if you were meeting your newest child, wouldn't you get a little choked up too? Review and tell me what you think!
