Chapter 1: Beginnings
Mutants… also known as freaks, abominations, and my personal favorite, spawns of Satan. That's what my twin brother and I are. We're mutants. And what exactly is a mutant you may ask? Well, I'll tell you. A mutant is someone, like me, who was born with a genetic gene that gives us superhuman abilities. My ability is to…well, I basically sprout wings on my back and fly at will. I can also copy the abilities of other mutants, which is a major plus on my end. Not to mention my devilishly good looks. What can I say, my long red hair, silver, animal-like eyes, and light complexion stand out in a crowd. Not to mention that I also stand at 5'11'', so I'm a pretty big girl. My brother, Hans, also has red hair with green eyes and is exactly 6 feet tall. He's a major ladies man and is always hitting on girls. He's a master of weaponry and a skilled fighter. His ability is to teleport, which makes him rather annoying when he just pops out of nowhere.
But in all seriousness, we're super close to one another. After all, we only have each other. Our mother died giving birth to us and our father abandoned us as soon as he realized what we were. We were only 13 at the time, but we still managed to survive without him. Here we are now, 15 years later, and we are both very successful. We are both emergency doctors in Arendelle Medical Center. Working side by side is what we do, but of course this is not our only job.
Because we have these "abnormal" abilities, we spend part of our days and nights fighting crime across the world. We hide our faces and have code names so that we may continue to live normal lives without being hunted like animals. Hans' code name is Silver Blade due to his weapon choice of a sword. My code name is Archangel, for very obvious reasons. We catch criminals of all sorts and turn them into the police, so you can just imagine the amount of enemies that we have. And, of course, the police are sometimes on our tail simply because we're "vigilantes," but regardless, Hans and I will continue to do what we do best: help people, which is where this story begins and how I met the love of my life: Elsa.
Whoops! I almost forgot to introduce myself. The name is Kara Southern, code name: Archangel. And this is my story…
It all began about two years ago. I was 26 at the time and was prowling on the rooftops of the buildings in Arendelle. It was a large city. Many skyscrapers ran throughout town. Crime levels had decreased over the years since Hans and I moved to the city, but there was still enough to keep us...entertained. It was approximately 10:30 p.m. on a Friday. The city was alive. Many people were walking on the streets having a good time. I was scanning the people for abnormal activity when suddenly…
"Kara!"
"Gah! Hans! Why must you do that each and every time?!"
"Oh come on, sis. This shouldn't bother you anymore. You've been shot, stabbed, set ablaze, and thrown from a skyscraper, yet me surprising you from behind scares you?"
"I guess I never did get use to you, and I probably never will."
"Well, then it seems like a personal issue." He laughed and I rolled my eyes. "Anyway," he said. "Is there anything going on down there."
"No. Everything looks alright to me, but I'm going to monitor for a little while longer. What are you doing here anyway? Don't you work tomorrow?"
"Actually, no. I got called off, so I decided to suit up and join you."
I smiled. And he wasn't joking when he said 'suit up'. He was wearing his uniform. It was composed of black leather from his neck to his toes covering every inch of skin. His mask only revealed his mouth and chin. And the ensemble was complete with his beloved sword. Yup, he definitely was suited up.
"Well, I'm glad you're here to keep me company."
"Exactly. I also wanted to talk to you."
Talk? Talk about what? I turned to face him. "Umm, okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"Kara, it's been years since you've gone out on a date"
"Oh no, not this conversation again."
"Please here me out, sis. I don't want you to be alone forever."
Okay, now he's just asking for it. "Alone forever? Hans, I won't be alone forever. Now drop it."
He rolled his eyes. "I'll drop it when I see you with someone you love, whether it be a man, or a woman."
What the heck?! "H-How?"
"Kara, you're my sister. My twin sister. I know you like I know the palm of my hand. I see the way you look at women and it's okay. Besides, who wouldn't want a woman? They're beautiful. I just want you to be happy."
To say I was stunned would be an understatement. Hans was always there for me, but I never imagined that he would say those words to me. My only brother and my only remaining family truly accepted me for who I was. There was only one thing for me to do. I walked up to Hans and I hugged him.
"Thank you, Hans."
"Don't thank me, sis. I love you. Just promise me that you'll find someone."
"I promise. I love you too."
We stayed hugging for a while longer until a scream was heard.
"Whoops, looks like I took you away from patrol. My bad."
I released Hans and ran to the edge of the roof. I looked for any signs of where the scream came from. Sure enough, a black vehicle was speeding through the streets without any consideration of the people walking. Not too far behind, a red headed girl was yelling frantically in the middle of the street. It was time to go to work.
"Hans, we got to go. Go help the girl in the street and I'll follow the vehicle. Use your communicator to let me know what's going on."
"Got it, sis. You better suit up." Hans said before jumping off the ledge.
Oops, can't go out with my face showing. I immediately changed into my uniform, which was similar to Hans', except mine was white and my helmet resembled an eagle. Absolutely none of my skin showed. When I was ready, I sprouted my white wings from my back, shook them loose, and leaped into the sky. I was able to locate the vehicle rather quickly. I had fantastic hearing and could hear the police radios reporting a black vehicle being involved in a kidnapping. It wasn't long before Hans called me over the communicator.
"Archangel, are you there?"
Hmm, he must still be with the girl. "Right here, Silver Blade. What is it?"
"The men in the black vehicle kidnapped a girl. Her name is Elsa Frost. Age 25. Blonde hair and blue eyes. Approximately 5'7". The girl with me is her sister, Anna Frost. She states that there was a man that had been following them for some time and that the same man was the one who took the girl."
"Alright, I have the vehicle in sight. Currently keeping distance. Keep the girl calm and let her know that her sister will be returned to her safely. Archangel out."
Police had lost the car a while back, but I was able to follow the vehicle to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Arendelle. I landed on the rooftop of the building next door. Sure enough, a young-looking man stepped out of the car and opened up the back seat and dragged the blonde girl out. She was bound and gagged. Another man stepped out after the girl. Together, they dragged her inside the warehouse.
What do they want with her? I swooped down and landed near the vehicle. I could smell the scent of perfume, most likely from the girl, along with alcohol.
"Of course they're drinking. Nothing good ever comes from drinking. Idiots."
I carefully walked into the warehouse and looked around. The sound of men's voices could be heard along with the whimpers of distress. I kept to the shadows until I finally found the girl. She was still tied. Blood was dripping from her wrists, head, and nose. She had a black eye. I was about to move in, but then a man returned. He had a bottle of liquor in his hand. He took a swing of it before placing it on the ground and reaching to undo his pants. He pulled them down and I saw the horror in the girls eyes.
"Crap, they want to rape her. Gotta act now." I leaped out of the shadows and tackled the man. I punched him until he blacked out. The other man came out with a metal pipe. He kept swinging at me, but missed every time. As soon as he stumbled, I pulled my fist back and released a jaw crushing hit. He was out. I then turned my attention to the girl. She kept her eyes on me the entire time, unsure if I was there to save her or hurt her. She did her best to scoot away from me. I approached with caution.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to help you. I'll take you back to your sister."
That seemed to calm her. She stopped moving and allowed me to get near. She was badly hurt, but if there was one thing that caught my attention, it was her eyes. They were the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. If she looked beautiful now, imagine after these wounds healed.
I untied her and removed the gag from her mouth. She began to cry. She could hardly move, but she managed to sit up.
"It's alright." I tried to reassure her. "You're safe now."
She looked at me. Ice blue eyes locked onto my helmet.
"You're Archangel, aren't you?" She asked with the sweetest voice.
"Yes, I am. At your service, my lady." It was my way of lightning up the mood, and it worked. She smiled.
"Wow, I never thought that I would ever need saving like this. And then from you of all people. Thank you." She slowly tucked a stray hair behind her ear.
"No need to thank me. Everyone needs saving in some way, shape, or form."
"I suppose you're right." She then took her attention to my wings. I could tell that she wanted to touch them, so I placed one in front of her.
"You can touch them if you'd like."
She didn't say anything. She even hesitated to pick up her hand. She began to reach, but stopped when she was about an inch away. She retracted her hand and turned away.
"Can we get out of here?" She asked.
"Of course. I'm going to carry you, alright?" The girl blushed at the thought.
"Well, I think I can walk."
"No offence, sweetie, but I'm going to fly, not walk."
"Oh. Right. The wings… Sorry."
I chuckled. "It's alright. So, can I pick you up?"
"Um, yeah, sure."
I slipped my arms underneath her and pulled her close. I slowly picked her up and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I could still smell her perfume. If winter and mint had sex and created a baby, she would be that baby. Ever so gently, I walked out of the warehouse and opened my wings. Slowly, we floated up. She had closed her eyes and nuzzled her head into the crook of my neck. It was odd, really. I've never carried anybody like this. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. This girl was different.
As we flew through the sky, Hans contacted me once again on the communicator.
"Archangel, do you have the girl?"
"Yes, I have her. She's safe. Injured, but safe."
"Great. You might want to hurry."
"Why? What's wrong?"
Hans gave me a nervous laugh. "Well, the police are here and they have a warrant for our arrest. I'm only hanging around to give Red some comfort."
"Red? Who's Red?" Sometimes I really don't understand that mouth of his.
"The sister of the one who was kidnapped. She has red hair, so I'm calling her Red. Anyway! Hurry up and get here. These cops are getting on my last nerves."
"Alright, alright already! Sheesh! Don't yell in my ear. I'll be there soon. Archangel out."
Great, now we have to deal with the cops. This will most likely end with a chase. I'm so not in the mood to deal with them. Bunch of crazy humans.
I released an irritated sigh which caught the blondes attention.
"Archangel, is something wrong?"
"Uh, no. Nothing is wrong. My partner was just saying that your sister is waiting for you." It's not entirely a lie. Her sister is waiting. If I tell her that the cops are waiting to cuff us, she might freak out. She's been through enough for one night.
I kept my pace nice and slow for the girl. She would look around at the sights and then close her eyes and snuggle up into me. It was a nice feeling having a girl this close. And she trusted me regardless of me being a mutant. She trusted me to keep her safe and I felt honored to receive her trust.
We were finally back in Arendelle and I could already see the lights from the cop cars and an ambulance in the exact location where the kidnapping took place. Hans was already arguing with several cops and the red-headed girl was gripping onto Hans' arm. As we got closer, everyone looked up to see us. I could hear the the sister scream with joy as she saw her elder sister in my arms. We landed softly on the road. The red-headed girl ran up to us.
"Elsa!"
"Anna." Elsa smiled weakly.
Elsa was still in my arms when they hugged each other in a warm embrace. When they separated, Anna looked over Elsa's injuries. She did have a few internal injuries that included a fractured rib, but nothing that was too serious. I should know. I am a doctor, and it helps that I already copied X-ray vision from a different mutant.
"Uh, ma'am?" A paramedic called out and snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yes?"
"Can you, um, put her on the stretcher?"
Whoops... I'm still holding her. "Oh yes, of course."
I walked over to the stretcher and gently placed her down. Her face scrunched up in pain and her arms immediately went to guard her ribs. I could easily heal her. I hold the power, but I've never used it on a human before. Hans and I were always susceptible to injury with the work we do, but this girl? Should I? I could tell that the pain was growing with each passing second. Her adrenaline rush was already diminishing. I was about to reach to her when I felt something metallic attach to my wrist.
"What the hell?!" It was a cop. Great. And apparently Hans was in the same situation.
"You are under arrest and have the right to remain silent." The cop was a big lug of a man. He had dirty blonde hair and wreaked of dog. He had to be a K-9 unit.
"Officer..." I looked at his name tag. "Kristoff? Officer Kristoff, look, we haven't done anything wrong. I just saved that girl and my partner over there was just keeping her sister company. What's the harm in that?" I asked innocently as he slapped the other cuff on my free wrist.
"Save the questions for the judge." He responded rudely.
Elsa was looking at me as she continued to guard her ribs. I wanted to help her, but now it was either break the cuffs, help her, and risk a massive fight which would tear a hole in our thin ice relationship with humanity, or break the cuffs, take off with Hans, and possibly run into her later in life... Well, the lesser of the two evils it was!
I turned back to the officer, then looked to Hans. I knew we were thinking the same thing.
"Well, Silver Blade, looks like we've been caught."
"Oh no!" He said in a high pitched, over exaggerated voice. "Whatever shall we do?! I can't go back! I can't go back!"
"Shut up, you freak!" The other officer said. I believe his tag said Marshall. "Get in the car!"
"But I want to do a magic trick. Come on, who doesn't love magic?" Hans said with his natural charm.
"I don't like magic! Now get your ass in the car!" Exclaimed Officer Marshall.
"Well, too bad! I already performed my trick." Hans brought his hands forward and held the cuffs in his hands. I did the same. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the officers expressions as they frantically went for their guns.
"Let the chase begin! Silver Blade, see you at our spot!" I shouted.
"Got it!" And with a small poof, he was gone. Now both cops, both sisters, and the paramedics had their eyes on me. I looked to Elsa.
"You're going to be alright. Take care of yourself. I'll be watching from above." And with that said, I leaped into the air and took off to the top of the skyscrapers. I paused for a second and took one last glance at the girl before flying away into the night.
And that is the first chapter to my new story. I hope you all enjoyed it. For those of you who are reading my other story, Burning Hearts, please know that I will continue that story. I've just hit a major block with it and have been unable to think about what to do next. I will post something on it when an idea comes up.
As for this story, I will do my best to update it as often as possible. I'm still in school and taking classes on a daily basis, so it can be difficult at times to just spend days writing.
Now, to the characters. I decided to switch things up a bit. Hans will be a good guy and Anna will have a little more common sense than she did in the film. Elsa is a little bit more of a flirt and the OC, Kara, will be the hero. That's pretty much all I can say at this point.
I hope you enjoy this tale.
Please read and review.
Thank you.
