Hello there. So I'm taking another swing at Superior, trying to make it more readable, thanks to some advice from Pyrotenthka (I don't know if I spelled it properly, sorry. She's the author of a Dragon's Twilight.

Hope it's better that the first try.

Chapter One

Different.

Of course you could say that when it came to me, my life, and my entire family.

But even in my family I was the odd one.

My bloodline was what our scientists call genetically superior to the normal humans'.

My family is gifted, with "special abilities" that allow us .

We don't know how it happened, but according to my dad we have special genes that evolved or something.

There are other people like us, but we don't know that many; Mom and Dad wanted us to have normal lives, so they didn't really get into the whole super hero, special agent, must save the world thing.

So what makes my genes superior in a family full of heroes?

I'm empathic. I can absorb and keep whatever other abilities I come in contact with, no limit.

I might as well be Peter Petrelli, but there's a catch. It hurts whenever I gain a new power.

There's no nonchalant "O, guess I can control fire now", or "O Gee, I can fly!" I get a full-scale attack.

I remember with my telekinesis, major migraine for days (got that from my Mother). My entire body erupted in fire (though it didn't hurt) when I got my pyrokinesis and invulnerability from my dad, and even worse were my reactions to my twin sister and brother's powers.

My brother could make anyone sick or weak mentally and could read minds like my mother, and my sister had cyrokinesis plus the ability to have conversations with people in her head or to influence peoples' decisions'.

(Now imagine hearing voices in you're head, surviving the everything from smallpox to typhus in a day, then having the lowest body temperature ever recorded. At 7.) Imagine my surprise when I told my brother to have a tea party with me in front of his friends, and he even put on makeup without complaining.

Yep. Mind control.

I still living as a citizen, (or a norm [al person]) because my mother was unsure of what to do with me.

So I was attending normal high school instead of SASA, [School for the Advancement of those with Special Abilities] the rival of Sky High), and had citizen friends.

Life was pretty much perfect, without the exception of trying to hide my powers, but hey what can you do?

We moved around a lot at first, and after awhile I stopped trying to meet new people.

But when had actually settled in Bull Springs, and I made friends and a pretty great life here. I love where I live, the people here, and just everything about it.

I even like our new names. My real name is Eden Knight and I'm 16, but now I'm Crystal Straught due to a nosy citizen neighbor back in Miami who tried to sneak in and saw me playing with fire, literally.

My older twin brother and sister, both 18, were now legally Andrew and Andréa, but now they still go by their real names, Jace and Jade.

My dad is (or was) Dane Knight and mom was Eve Knight but they're now Tracy and Daniel Straught, a businessman and stay at home mom.

Dad's job had moved us around quite a bit, but this was the longest place we ever stayed, and I loved it here.

Now imagine my apprehension when my mom walks in and goes, "Honey, You father and I need to chat with you and the twins."

Then I heard her thinking.

Hope she's not too mad.

"Hope I'm not mad about what Mom?"

She gave me a stern look as she put her up mental walls.

"Stop trying to read me honey, it's rude. You'll know when the twins get home."

My brother and sister went to SASA were they could learn to use their powers and then teach me in the sanctum (since I had their powers), but they weren't home for another hour or two.

I guess patience is a virtue.

As soon I as I heard Jace's key in the door, and the "Hey everybody!" he thought in his head, I flew downstairs, and ran away to the den before he ask me where I was going or look for it in my head.

By the time they got down to the den, I had been there for a good 10 minutes, just waiting.

My dad came in, fresh from work and I could tell I wasn't going to like what he had to say, seeing as how he was giving me the I'm-sorry-I-can't-do-anything-about-it look that I hated.

Eden, I need you to be understanding right now he whispered in his head, know my sister, brother and mother could all hear him too.

"Fine" I grumbled, besides what could be worse than moving again?

Then it hit me.

We're moving again!

I screamed out in my head and watched in satisfaction as my mom grimaced and looked at my dad with a she-knows look. He sighed.

"Yes, we're moving. The company relocated me because of the great changes I've made here and how I fixed up the branch here. They want me to do it again in Forks, Washington. Before you say anything, think about it- we're going to be rich, and we'll have a bigger house and live in a nicer area. Jay Jay [he was talking to the twins] will be able to continue at SASA. And Eden Honey, you'll start SASA when we move there."

"Are you insane?" I yelled. "You know what happens when I'm around powered people!"

How could they uproot me in the middle of my junior year?

I had just gotten a great group of friends, a great schedule, and a life that was constant, routine, and normal.

I think I turned red, because both my parents noticed and gave me that annoying puppy-dog look I always gave them, so of course I couldn't say no.

For too long anyway.

"Sweetie, you've been around citizens for so long that we haven't seen your powers manifested since the last time you powered up.

You were only 7 when you gained our powers. Your mother and were thinking that maybe since you are so much more mature, it won't be so bad."

What could I say?

It made sense, and although I've wanted to go to SASA for years, I also had a life here, one that I would have to leave behind.

I just got up and walked out of the den, their apologies following me.

Aww, C'mon Eden it's not dad's fault thought my sister.

Yea, seriously it'll be okay came from my brother.

We're sorry baby, it'll get better flew at me from my mother and father before I put up my walls and ran to my best friend's house down the block.

Whaddup? Me again. Tell me what you think.
