Chapter one
Difficult situation
Jessica Andrews, who prefers to be called Jessie, was a troubled 18 year old orphan girl living in New York; she never kept herself out of trouble. She worked as a full time phone operator, her office was a small cubical, crammed with paperwork and notices. To add she has an unusual secret she manipulates water and at night she is Water-mage, a superhero of sorts.
"When are you going to ever go out clubbing?" asked one of her office friends. "Haven't the time" she replied back. Her office friend was Amanda Jenkins, she always dressed to impress had black hair, brown eyes, and was a dark toned person from England. "So tonight" Amanda said sarcastically, "No I can't I've got…" she said in an immediate halt with Amanda looking at her with a look of anticipation on her face. "Well I never, you have a date don't you?" asked Amanda girly. "No I've got to do stuff" she snapped back, "So what's his name? You know I like details" backed Amanda not listening to anything Jessie said. "Look I haven't got a date alright" said Jessie annoyed. "So if you haven't then you'll come clubbing with me and Natalie" Amanda said annoyingly "ok I'll go" with that Amanda left the small cubical. Staring flatly into computer screen she let out a gasp for air, and tried to continue with her work. She felt a sudden tingle in her body; she got up and headed to her boss's office. The floor she worked on was a maze of little cubicles and photocopiers, she was about to open the door when she heard "Hey Jessie, over here" Jessie turned to see where the voice came from. It was the guy she had an eye on him for some time. "John" she said fast walking towards him, John stood there and said "So did ya miss me?" John was from Yorkshire in England, he worked in a bakery that sold the tastiest cakes and pies. "Where are you off to?" asked John, "Just feel sick, wanna go home" she replied. "Aw I'll get me violin" he said teasing her. "Shut up" she said punching him in his arm, "I've got to go, see ya tonight" he said giving her a kiss on her cheek. "Bye" she said blowing him a kiss, just about everyone in the office was looking. "What?" she said, walking to the door she tried to enter.
Just as Jessie was walking through the door, the phone rang. Walking past the phone to the refrigerator, she picked out a cake she got from John's bakers. The phone turned onto answer machine, "Hey it's me, just to let you know code red, some thugs are trying to rob Harleys and co." Jesse dropped her cake into the bin and into her living room. She walks up to a mirror "Jessica Ashton" she calls to the mirror "eye confirmation scan please" Jessie looks into the mirror and a eye scanner opens out of the glass, Jessie looks into the glass and with a flash of blue and green lights, the wall beside her opens to reveal a secret entrance. Jessie runs down the steps, to a large hardened water door with a code pad, she types the code 785643, the door opens to reveal a large room made of what seemed like diamond but was actually water. On the far end of the room there was a blue costume, which were blue leather pants and a blue leather corset.
"What do we have here?" a thug said smashing a glass case to get a diamond ring with other stones around them. "Look like a keeper" said a thug. The shop they where robbing was quite small, it had a security desk, twenty different toughened glass cases, with pictures of diamonds, and a door leading to a back room. "Hey boys" said Jessie. The thugs turned around one with the cheek to say "hey baby, what a girl like you got to do in a place like this?" Jessie looked at the thug with anger in her eyes, she clicked her fingers and said "Come get me" the thugs looked at her and laughed. Jessie took a deep breath; her eyes produced an intense glow. She held both her hands beside her, the water in the air span in her fingers, and then produced a water bubble in each hand, "Boo" she said in a spooky manor. The thugs got out there guns, Jessie with a smirk the water bubbles changed into a set of sai. The thugs shot the guns, but the bullets never hit Jessie, they shot through her. "My turn" she said cheekily, she ran up to the first thug and back flipped kicking him in the jaw, he fell to the ground and Jessie stabbed the sai into his arms. Then after forming more sai she ran up to the second thug and stabbed them through his legs, leaving him to fall to the floor. The last thug was whimpering in fear "Please don't hurt me" he whimpered, "I'm not going to hurt you, just kill" she said while holding the sai to his knees. "Water-mage, over here" standing there was Dark-mage. A man that can cast any type of spell by the thought, he was wearing a long robe with a rod that had a magic theme to it. "So DM what are you doing here?" asked Jessie "Can say the same for you" he replied while walking through the door. "Got a tip about a heist" they both replied. Laughing they turn to the last thug "So what are we going to do with him?" asked Jessie. "I'll put a fire cage around him, he won't get out" replied DM. Dark mage was chanting over and over "I call you on the fires of hell release unto him a fire cage." The ground started to shake, the temperature rose and a cage made of fire erupted from the ground, "That'll hold him" said Jessie. The two heroes walked out the shop, "How about we go to the park just you and me?" asked DM. "Is that a date you offering John?" asked Jessie "Maybe, anyways how did you know it was me?" he asked. "I've always known, who goes out the town, and both the hero and the baker is nowhere?" she asked cheekily.
They walked over to the park; it was a romantic spot at night. "It's lovely tonight" said Jessie, "yeah" replied John. They walked to a picnic bench and sit down, "Hungry?" asked John. Jessie nodded, he waved his hands and a table of food appeared out of nowhere. There was Spaghetti Bolognese, a cake, wine, and candy and salad. "Dig in" said John, "Why thank you Mr McDonald" Jessie teased. They ate and drank over jokes and conversations, "So how come I haven't done this any sooner?" asked John "I don't know, but It's great you did" replied Jessie. "So are we going I think I drank too much?" asked Jessie. They got up out the picnic benches and started walking down the path "So what was it you went out of town for?" Jessie questioned almost tripping on a stone. "Just had to visit my mum in England" he replied. Jessie was linking arms with John till the end of the path, she tripped over on herself. "Whoops looks like someone had a touch to much" smiling lifting her up he looked into her eyes, and she was looking into his. They stayed in that position for about two minutes, they leaned in for a kiss, they where getting closer and closer until she had her lips on his and his on hers. She was kissing him slowly and passionately for about five minutes. "Let's go to my place" she suggested.
"So where do we go from here?" asked John, with his arms wrapped around her. "We can give it a try" replied Jessie. She got up from the bed with a gasp, "what's the matter?" "Nothing, just thirsty" she replied. She started to concentrate and the water in the air started to form a ball of pure water, the ball grew bigger and bigger until she could fit it on her hand, she reached out and picked up the water ball in her hand and it changed, into a glass of water. She gulped it down, "I've got to go sorry" she said. She kissed him on the head and left.
