I sat on my new bed. Staring blankly at the wall. Wondering...
"Is this real? Am I really here right now?" Well... maybe I should explain. My name is Fiorae. Even though most of my friends call me Thea. Anyway sorry about that back there... it's just, with all that's happened today, my brain is just a little... scrambled. You see, I'm not like other kids my age... I've always been... different.
"Get with the times Thea!" My friends always used to say. I guess I've been like this all my life...
"Just a late bloomer." My dad said with a smile. Although until now, I had never really thought about what that meant. So here I am. My butt plopped in the comfiest bed I have ever sat on in my life. Sitting here In Avengers Tower.
So I guess you're wondering just how a 13 year old California girl like me wound up here. All the way across the country in the home of earth's mightiest heroes. Well, I don't wanna bore you with some extremely long back story of my basically soap opera life until now. But it looks I'll have to. So let's start right around two weeks ago. And no, It's not a radioactive spider.
It was a day just like any other. Waking up at six. Eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Yeah, I know I know .
"Eh another clichéd back story wah!" Well shut up. Its gonna get interesting soon so move on your eyes around the words. Yes. Good reader. ANYHOO, as I finished my cereal, I thought about my dad. He was away on buisness again, but that didn't bother me. After all, because of that buisness , I had a roof over my head and food to consume. So who was I to complain anyway. I put my dishes in the sink and rinsed them out. Like always. and then I walked to the bathroom to get dressed. But just then, I tripped. And it wasn't air, the same old air that I usually trip on, it was something solid. It was a tail.
Now I know what you're thinking.
"Stupid clumsy idiot! you tripped on your dog!" But that's not the case. I don't have a dog. Or a cat. or any animal of any kind. My dad is allergic to them. And plus, this wasn't just any tail. It was a green tail. A big, green, scaly tail. And it was attached to me.
