(Welcome to the first chapter of Rise of Guardian. Please comment to tell me what you think.)
Alex's P.O.V
Its been three weeks since Dad moved in with the Avengers. I sometimes stay there when I've been out on patrol and its late.
Anyway, its a week till my birthday, yay... This is the first year I wouldn't be spending it in Japan with my friends. I miss them, the academy, and the weird cat that would sit outside my window. Avenger's Tower and the pent house where nice but it didn't compare to the Japanese countryside
"Hey Alex what are you thinking about?" someone said behind me.
"GAH!" I said jumping. I turned around and saw Peter.
"Peter you gave me a freaking heart attack!" I said.
"Sorry." He said.
"And to answer your question, I was thinking about my birthday." I said.
"Oh that reminds me, what do you want for your birthday?" He asked.
"Well... There's necklace I saw in a shop, with a yin and yang pendant on it." I said putting my books in my locker. "But its really expensive and I wouldn't want anyone spending that much money on me. Peter?" I said looking around for Peter who seemed to vanish. "Great..." I said. The something fell from my locker door. It was a note.
"Dear Alex
Your eyes as bright as the stars at night,
Hair has dark from night that lets them shine.
You have heart as strong as the mighty northern wind.
You can be as fragile as glass,
But as tough as a blizzard.
-Your secret admire."
The note said. My face felt hot.
"Aww does little Alex have a little crush?" A voice said.
I turned around and saw Stacy King. I held the note closer to me and growled.
"What's it to you?" I said.
"Oh nothing but who ever sent it to you was probably not serious about it." She said as she snatched the note away.
"Hey!" I yelled
She read it and made a face and started ripping up the note.
"Stop!" I said trying to jump at her but her two goons held me back. They then walked away as I dropped to the floor. I was about to freeze them when I remembered my Sensei's old words.
"One decision can cause a wave of changes. Be careful for one decision and lead you down a dark path." Her voice said in my head.
"Yes Sensei." I said myself. I'll do what I always do when I'm upset, watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and eat chocolate.
~One hour later~
"And she just ripped the note up?" Captain America asked.
"Yeah." I said still watching MLP.
"Is she always like that?"
"Yep. But it feels like its getting worse." I said softly.
"You should tell someone."
I sighed and paused the tv.
"I tried but her dad's the main contributer to school and if they want the money they have to keep her happy to get it. So no matter what I say or do it won't matter." I said. "Anyway I have to prepare for cultural night at school tomorrow, I'm doing Japan." I left for my room.
~Time Skip.~
Danny's P.O.V
I sat next to Alex at Lunch. She had her nose in a book and didn't notice me.
"Hey Alex." I said. She jumped and looked at me.
"Gosh Danny you scared me." She said.
"Sorry. What are you reading?" I asked.
"The Serpent's Shadow. Its a great book, I really love the characters Anubis and Carter." She said. "Anubis is an Egyptian god right?" I asked.
"Yeah but the way he's described as a deep guy who just wants to be with the main girl Sadie but he can't because he's a god. But he finds a loophole." She said. "I always like the guys who are deeper than they appear."
I had an idea. I was about to say something to her when Stacy came over and dumped her food on Alex.
"I don't know how you got Stark Industries to fund the school but you are gonna pay for it. I'll make your life a living nightmare." She said to Alex. I was about to tell her to buzz of when Alex stood up and left. I could have sworn she said something like,
"Conceal it, don't feel it."
Ava's P.O.V
I saw Alex go into the bathroom covered in food. I went in after her. She was cleaning the food out of her hair and, crying?
"Alex are you okay?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah, just having a bad day." she said.
"You sure? Because you just froze the sinks." I pointed out.
Alex looked and saw the frost and ice covering everything. Then she started crying more.
"Alex what happened?" I asked.
She told me everything. I balled my fists and went to find Luke.
Alex's P.O.V
I got Colson to let me leave school early. I went strait to Avenger's tower and locked myself in my room, leaving very shocked Avengers in my wake.
I cleaned up and changed my clothes. A dark t-shirt that said "Keep calm and use the Force", blue jeans and black high tops. I took out my iPod and began singing to it to calm down.
Loki's P.O.V
Thor, Captain America and I went to Alex's door when we heard her singing. (I DID NOT WRITE THIS DON'T SEW)
Walk On The Water"
You look around What if I'm overtaken When you take that first [Chorus:] You know you're made for more So get out If you take that first step [Chorus] [Bridge:] So what are you waiting for? [Chorus]
It's staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if I never make it
What if no one's there?
Will you hear
Into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes in you
You can walk on the water too
And let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don't wait
Don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe
Try to run away
Into the unknown
He won't let you go
(Step Out)
Even when a storm hits
(Step Out)
Even when you're broken
(Step Out)
Even when your heart is telling you, telling you to give up
(Step Out)
When your hope is stolen
(Step Out)
You can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
I nearly cried. Alex sounded exactly like her mom. I shook it off and knocked on her door.
"Alex and you come out please?" I asked.
"No." She said.
"Alex you need to come out. I want to talk to you." I said getting a little angry.
"I don't care." she said.
I opened the door and saw her with eyes closed with headphones on.
"Wait she wasn't talking to me?" I said.
Alex opened her eyes and saw us and fell of the bed.
"What's with everyone scaring me lately!" She said from the floor.
I had to smile at that.
