Disclaimer: I only own what is mine. My OCs and ideas.
A/N: Here it is! I hope you guys all enjoy Anna! New POV for me so I haven't worked on it much, but her character is currently in development. More good stuff to come from her! I will be posting some One-Shots I have written on Fan Fiction maybe tomorrow. I plan to have them all together in one story. So please keep a look out for that. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
We were the first ones to get to the "living room" part of the Tricarrier. I had been here before.
"When is everyone else going to show up?" I whine a little bit. This was going to be boring. It wasn't even my idea to come, I would've stayed at home if I had a choice and I would have rather been working on fixing up my computer right now.
"Luke should be here soon. Sam is still moving into his new house with his family. And I don't know when Danny and Aiko will get here. Danny told me there would be a lot to do with him leaving K'un-Lun, even if only for a week." Dad explains. "They don't have the best relations with our world, but he promised to come."
"K'un-Lun," I mutter thinking about the amulet. Mom and I shared it; she was teaching me to use it. She likely had it on her now.
"What Anna?" Mom asks.
"Isn't it even slightly funny I've never met Danny or Aiko?" I question. "How do you even know as much as you do about K'un-Lun?"
"Anna, I have been to K'un-Lun. And you need to be polite. He may not like you calling him that…" Dad warns.
"Because he is an adult and a King of another dimension," I mutter to finish for my Dad.
This is just going to be like every holiday. We're all just going to get together and talk, about just about the most boring things. I had met Danielle and Drake before. We saw each other the most out of the team. Luke still lived in New York.
Sam had moved into outer space. So we saw his family every now and then. Piper his daughter was quiet and reserved most of the time. They were final moving to New York. They had been living on earth for a while but out of the country. Piper had trouble with her powers sometimes and they would have to move because people would try to hunt her.
Danny is a king who lived in a different dimension and Aiko was his childhood friend. They were both offered spots on the team Danny joined right away and Aiko a year later.
That's all I really know about them, other than the fact Mom and Dad went to K'un-Lun when I was a baby and I had to stay here.
I walk over to the couches and slump down.
First Luke and Jessica showed up with their kids; Danielle and Drake. Danielle supposedly named after Danny.
Sam and his wife Rina were next with their daughter. So as normal we all sat around on the couches while the adults talked.
It was the normal chit-chat.
How's life? How's training? What's new? Any good villains?
It was boring. Piper was excited to meet the Rand kid or kids. She is from a different planet and was excited to meet people like her in the sense as they weren't earthly. That's what she calls us; "Earthly."
Danielle also wanted to meet Danny because she was named after him.
While we waited Piper showed us some powers she had copied recently. When she 'copies' someone's powers she can still use them for a few days after copping them.
So she was playing with fire and ice.
That's when they finally showed up.
The adults were having a blast when Danny and his family showed up. I guessed it was him anyway.
He walked in out of one of the corridors with an Asian looking woman and a boy about my age. And a very American looking 16-year-old girl with shocking red hair. He himself was a tall and pale blond haired man.
I was lying on the couch and hardly looked over at them while everyone else seemed excited.
The boy, I noticed, had crutches. Most of his face was hidden by this black hair.
We stayed where we were for a while letting the adults have their go first at saying hello; they were the ones that had missed their friends. I could meet them later.
The boy had walked away from I guess his Mom. He looked more like the woman. Unless, I think Mom and Dad said they were married…
"Um, Hello," he says quietly scaring me out of my skin I had drifted off into a deep thought.
We all looked him over. He was skinny and his hair was silky and hung in his face some. But his accent was really weird. It sounded very heavy and very, very strange.
"Hi!" Piper says exactly, she can be hyper. "I'm Piper!"
The boy looks at her very strangely. "Um, I'm Kai," he replied, his voice soft.
"Cool," I say from my couch. He was standing behind the couch. The amulet was in my lap and I was playing with it in my fingers.
Danielle looked excited but tried to keep her cool. "So you're Iron Fist's kid?"
"Yes," Kai replied quietly. Not much of a talker.
"Does that also make you an Iron Fist?" Drake asked.
"Um, no that's not something that is passed down genetically. It is something that is earned." He explains.
"Cool," I say again. Watching him, he is kind of cute. And the accent was also cute. I blushed. If he knew what I was thinking, I would hurt him. I sit up and pat the couch next to me. A cute prince from a different dimension, I can allow myself to have a crunch on him. He won't be here for long. His parents will whisk him back home in a week, just a teenage crunch.
He blushes; his whole face turns a hot shade of pink. He looks embarrassed. But why?
"I'm actually alright, right here." He smiles weakly. What's bothering him? "I'm used to crutches."
I try to smile back at him relaxed. "Sit," I command him, naturally. "I busted my knee a while back I know those things hurt." I point to the crutches.
This just makes him turn pinker. I don't think he realizes this, though. He looks really uncomfortable and I think about saying something to him to try to make him feel better.
But, instead he takes a deep breath and slowly uses his crutches to come around the couch and sitting down next to me, he took the crutches and leaned on them carefully on the couch beside him.
That's when I think we all noticed it. Kai had looked away to see what his parents were doing, he also possibly didn't want to see us stare.
His left leg was missing pretty much like it was gone. His sorts were about knee length and it just hung there could faintly see an outline of what must have been his leg.
Piper, in human form, turns pale and covers her mouth.
Danielle and Drake are just as surprised.
Kai looks back to us. His face hot-pink.
"So, um," I clear my throat. "Kai, I'm Anna-Grace." I introduce myself. He smiles a little. "But I go by Anna."
"I'm Danielle." Danielle says, he points to Drake, "and this is my brother Drake."
Kai smiles, more comfortable and less pink, but he was cute when he was pink. "That's my sister over there." He points to the red head. "Her name is Hope."
"So," Piper asked. "Do you have any powers?"
Kai doesn't respond but instead closes his eyes and slows his breathing a little.
Then I get this funny feeling, we are getting a demonstration.
I can't help but wonder what he can do…
'Yes, I am a telepath.' His voice says calmly in my head. I jump a little terrified.
Of course, he is a telepath! Of course, I think that the one guys in the worlds that can read my mind is cute!
He opens his eyes and pulled up his one leg so he is sitting sort of cross-crossed.
Everyone looks a little shocked.
Telepathy is one crazy superpower to have, and we don't really know what level he is. He could be a one trick person or many.
"That is awesome!" I say quickly trying to act natural. It doesn't seem to work. My fingers turn into sharp claws as I hold my hand close to his neck. "But seriously! Stay out of my head!"
"I will," he promises, relaxed.
"Uh huh," I mutter.
"Hey, kids!" Dad calls over to us. "We are going to the Court to spar are you guys coming?"
Everyone agrees and runs out. The adults follow. I stand up and offer Kai his crutches.
He blushes. "Thank you, Anna." He smiles at me.
"Hey, no problem," I reply as we walk behind everyone else.
We walk quietly for a few minutes. "So um, do you mind if I ask you a sort of personal question?" I ask, awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck.
Kai looks to me; he seems uncertain but looks ahead again and answers. "You may ask, I may not reply." He looks forward, his gaze was not wandering.
"Ok, and you don't have to if you don't want to." I make myself clear first. "How long have you been like this? You know um…"
"Handicapped?" He finishes for me. Was that mind reading?
Nah... he is probably just used to it.
"Four years now," he replies.
I feel a tear in my chest. "Um, what happened?"
"That is personal," he says sternly looking at me. "What about you," his darkness he had in his voice lifting. "What powers do you have?"
"Can't you just know being telepathic?" I ask.
"I shouldn't rely on my powers." He shrugs. "And I want to get to know what you think of yourself, not the facts, but your opinion."
It takes a minute to sink in. "Oh, so we are playing this game?" I tease him, nudging his arm. "The White Tiger Amulet. My Mom and I share it. I also have my Dad's strength, warning since, and I can stick to walls a little." I show him the amulet. "My turn, how powerful of a telepath are you?"
"I am advanced, but no master," he explains. As we reach the court and we walk over to a bench. I sit down and motion for him to follow and he does.
"That doesn't really answer; name some things you can do."
Kai thinks for a moment. "Ming reading, I can speak to others telepathically, I can create mental images, download and also process information quickly, and I can control people using their brains." He lists. "That is to name a few."
"So you've had some training in how to use your powers?" I ask him.
"Some." He replies with a smirk, "and I also have low-grade telekinesis."
I notice suddenly he seemed to have gotten shorter while he was talking. I look down to see I was a few inches above the bench, floating. I squeal.
"Put me down!" I snap at him and he does.
He seems relaxed and pleased.
"I think we will get along just fine," I tell him with a smile.
"We might," he replies and smirks. But still looks to be thinking.
Maybe he is always like that. Thinking.
I look down to his missing leg. What happened to him? I get he might not want to tell me, I can understand, it really is a personal thing for him I can imagine.
But, I still want to know.
That night I was dreaming about Kai, he and his family were staying on the Tricarrier. I had met his parents briefly; they were both kind and very sweet.
I couldn't imagine the psycho who would do that to him. He was so sweet and kind.
And he was patient and cute…
And he was a telepath…
I am not sure what I expected him to be like, but I like him.
He is wonderful.
