Sky High – Moonlight
A/N- Well, I went for forever, thinking about this. This fandom is loved and I wanted not to be attacked by a bunch of flames, so I thought about it. Slowly, I formed this character and found that I liked her, to the point when I realized that I just wanted to write a story of a girl trying to survive in high school life…with superpowers.
Chapter One: First Day
The bus, still driven by Ron Wilson, bus driver (even though he now had a superpower) was crowded. Kids were talking and they were all with their friends from the previous year, expecting nothing more then the normal stops when Ron Wilson pulled to a stop.
Will Stronghold looked up from where he was talking to Layla, his girlfriend, and she followed his gaze to watch the new student, a girl, enter.
She was hunched over, though moved as quickly as she could to the first empty bench, settling there with a content sigh.
She seemed to have a love for the color red, if the fact her socks, blouse, and all of her accessories were the same shade of red, though off-set by white. Heck, even her backpack was red, all the same cheery, happy, red, and she held it to her chest as if protecting it from everything in the world.
It was only when he looked at her backpack that he noticed her gloves, which stood out like sore thumb.
They were a dark purple (which Magenta liked, if her sound of approval was anything to go off of) and reached about half way up her lower arms, as if protecting her from something. They disappeared under the sleeves of her long sleeved blouse and drew people's attention…omitting the cheerful red that did that anyway.
Will shook his head slightly, though she was only one screaming in fear when the bus took off from over the ledge. She clung even tighter to her backpack in response, though Will soon found focusing on his friends and girlfriend more enjoyable than focusing on the new girl.
Said new girl joined the rest of the Freshman before moving toward the Gym to meet with Coach Boomer.
She had her backpack on her back now and was standing with her head down, shoulders slumped. People passed, and after the second person having 'Sidekick' yelled at them, she shifted to pull her earplugs out of her pack, when he pointed to her.
She took to the stage, though she dropped her red bag at the stairs and walked up to the middle. "What's your name?" he demanded.
"Marilyn Samson," she mumbled softly and she looked up a little.
"What's your power?" he growled out and she looked at him.
She twitched her head slightly and her fingers flexed a little. "I don't really…I can't control it," she mumbled, her face flushing.
"Car!" he called and she suddenly freaked out.
The car became a twisted mess as she panicked, scared to death. She shivered a little and looked at Boomer, eyes wide with fear. She then slumped over again as he made her hero for 'telekinesis'. She just called her bag to her hand and almost sent it flying into Boomer's head as she left to join the rest of the Freshman, a warning snapped at her retreating back.
After that she got her earplugs out and almost dug them into her ears. She sighed quietly and when he dismissed them for lunch, she happily left.
Slumped over, she continued to walk along and sat in the farthest, back corner of the cafeteria before pulling out her lunch from her bag. She sat with her knees up and she looked around the room before eating her lunch.
Once she was finished, she left, though she accidently bumped into Warren Peace. She held up a hand in apology, muttering it quietly before continuing on, never looking up to see that it was Warren Peace.
She just went back to the gym and waited out the rest of the Freshman class setting. At the end of the day, as she exited the building, part of the swarm of students. The lawn was flush with grass and she kicked a little at some of the mowed up strands. She looked at the ground as she walked forward, ignoring the world almost, she was suddenly stopped by someone. She pulled out her earplugs and looked up at Warren Peace. "Sorry," she muttered, without really wondering what she was apologizing for, and she turned to the bus, getting on.
She sat alone again, with her feet tucked under the seat and she stared out the window. When the bus stopped at her stop, she quickly left, slumped over and trying her hardest to keep her powers from slipping.
She entered her house through the front door and her mother came forward slowly. "How are you sweetie?" she inquired gently of her daughter, being very cautious, keeping her movements slow.
"Good…the coach is insane," the telekinetic responded.
Her mother, her average, ordinary, everyday, all too human mother who was trying to raise her daughter that had absolutely no control over her own powers, and who could easily kill her mother because her superhero father was too busy being a superhero to be around.
Heck, she barely saw him…at all. If someone walked up to her and asked if she was the Moon Knight's daughter, it would usually take her a few minutes to actually remember that was her dad.
To her, he was dead, and she wanted to keep it that way, even if her parents were still together…technically.
The Freshman Hero looked at her mother and her hand tightened suddenly on the railing. Marilyn wished her mother wasn't afraid of her though…it would make life a lot easier to live in.
End Chapter One
A/N- That's it. That's Chapter One of Moonlight. It took me forever before I settled on a power, but I don't know where this story is going to go. I write to write, and the story becomes its own story. I only write it.
