Disclaimer-I do not own any of the original characters made by Marvel.
Mykal watched her 10 year old cousin as he walked over the field in the park, his football uniform hanging off him because he had no pads on yet. She smiled at the young kid. She loved him like a brother. He was the only one that knew about her mutation. She had trusted him with everything, looking at him made her happy. Sometimes she wondered if he was her brother the way he looked so much like her; dark hair with dark brown eyes. She had been scared to tell her mother and father that she was a mutant. They were a family of anti-mutant status. If she told them she would surely get beat or worst. She shuddered at the thought as she decided to follow her cousin across the field. Today was his practice, she never missed one practice, never missed a game. Football was the world to him and he was the world to her. She loved him and he knew it, that's why he kept her secret. As she neared the practice he smiled at her and she smiled back sitting on the edge of the football line. She looked over at about twenty feet away 'Oh my gosh not now not her…' Mykal thought as her eyes rested on a girl. The girl's name was Melissa; Melissa hated Mykal and let Mykal know it. 'Just perfect' She thought as the Melissa spotted her and smiled walking toward her "Hey, Mykal," Mykal looked toward her and then looked back at the practice 'Just ignore her' Mykal thought watching her cousin run back and forth getting warmed up. "Hey! Twerp!" Melissa said grabbing her shirt collar and lifting her up from sitting down. The shadows called to Mykal, she reached put letting it strengthen her but not using it. She looked up confidently at the 15 year old who held her shirt collar. "Mykal?" Bobby was running up to Melissa, "Let her go." Bobby said as Melissa let go of her collar and pushed Bobby, he fell to the ground. Mykal looked at Bobby then back up at Melissa "You really shouldn't have done that." Mykal said calling on the shadows as they gathered underneath her. Melissa looked down and backed up running the opposite way. "Mykal, calm down, please?" Bobby asked stepping up and giving Mykal a hug which calmed her down. Mykal fell to the ground on her knees "I never wanted this." She said sobbing and Bobby kneeled down next to her ", but you do, you have to keep control." He said and she looked up hurt and scared "I can't do this on my own." She said and he smiled at her and pulled her into a hug "You don't have to, I'm always here" He said and she looked at him "You are a smart 10 year old." Mykal said and he smiled "It comes with the good looks." He said and she laughed getting off the ground "Do you want to go home?" He asked and she nodded "You stay here, play football with your friends I am going to take a nap." She said and he looked back at his team running off as she walked the opposite way.
