The Academy
My name is Bebe Page, codename: Firebird. This is my story
How it started?
My life is as normal as yours. I live with my dad and my sister at a beautiful manor just outside of New York. I go to school and I attend to classes. But one day, that changed.
I was with my sister at the garden; we were playing in a tree, when she felt down. I don't know how but I managed to grab her before she touched the ground. She was floating, I was doing that. My sister was too young to understand what was happening, but I wasn't. I knew it was me, I felt like a complete freak.
A few days passed, I was acting like nothing happened, when a mysterious man knocked on our door. His name was Nicholas Fury. He told us that he comes from S.H.I.E.L.D., some kind of governmental organization, which I've never heard of. But dad knew about them. I thought he was there because of my dad, I mean; he was vice president of Stark Industries. But no, he was there for me. He wanted me to unite to his organization, of course, my dad said no. I was too young, I was fifteen. That Nick told him that he knew about me and my abilities that it was for the country, but dad said:
"You know what I am, what we are Fury. She is just learning. Let me handle her"
"You know what she can do. Let me teach her, we can help her to push her abilities to the edge. She can be like you a powerful…"
"Shut! She is listening. I'll explain to her what she is, we are not going to lie to her, like you were thinking" Said my mom, entering the room. I didn't know how she was so empathic about these things. Every time I feel lonely she used to come to make me feel fine. It's like her power.
He left, not before saying "At least think about it"
He left. He had a really strong presence. I think I shivered when he passed me by.
My mom was really upset with my dad. She wasn't saying anything but I could really feel her emotions like they were all mine.
Then I started to ask myself questions: What were they talking about? What my mom mean about lying to me? What am I?
All these questions made me sick. I was having a horrible headache because of it. My mom and dad were going to get me, but I didn't want to talk to them. They have been lying to me all my life. I was finding a lot of emotions.
So I ran. As fast as I could, I ran.
I was running so fast that when I realize I was lost in the forest that rounded my home. I was scared and dirty and I just wanted to go home, but I still didn't want to confront my parents. I just want everything to go back as it was before that man came to my house. I was angry with him. It was his entire fault.
I fall asleep down a tree. When I waked up I was at home, like everything was a dream.
