FINALLY I have inspiration for a Halloween fic! Yeah yeah, the name sucks. I know. But the story should be good! I've had this idea for a while, but I decided to alter it for Halloween. I hope you enjoy! The song for this whole fic is pretty much Somebody's Watching Me, just putting that out there. Enjoy!
"Hey Skylar!" yelled Oliver, running into the Main Office with Kaz, "Are you excited for the spookiest night of the year?"
"The night Allen trims his toenails?" asked Skylar, "Why would I be excited for that? Seriously, he needs to see a doctor about that. He lives in a hospital!"
"Okay, the second scariest night of the year." Said Oliver.
"The night when Horace-" started Skylar.
"IT'S HALLOWEEN!" yelled Kaz.
"Oh!" cried Skylar, "Halloween! Of course! What's Halloween?"
"What's Halloween?" repeated Oliver, "You don't know what Halloween is? It's a night of candy, and costumes…"
"And tricks, and pranks, and scaring the neighbors, and bellyaches!" cried Kaz.
"And it's in four days!" they both yelled.
"Sounds cool!" said Skylar, "I'm in! Uh…what do I do?"
"Well," said Oliver, "There's a normo tradition where we knock on the door, shout 'trick or treat' and then get candy."
"If they say no, we egg the house." Said Kaz.
"Kaz, we're not supposed to-" started Oliver.
"Ignore him." Cut-off Kaz. "We're doing things my way."
"Isn't egging houses dangerous?" asked Skylar.
"Yes!" cried Kaz, "That's why we do it! And if you aren't into a night in prison on November first, you can always just toilet paper the house."
"Sounds cool!" said Skylar. "Are we taking Allen?"
"Ugh, of course not." Groaned Kaz, "He's no fun! He'd ruin tricks or treats!"
"Hey!" yelled Allen, walking past.
"Oh, keep walking Allen." Said Oliver.
"Anyway…" started Skylar, "I can't wait! What do I go as?"
"Well, you can go as yourself, if you want." Said Oliver, "Kaz and I are going as superheroes."
"I'm going to be Tecton." Said Kaz.
"And I'm going to be the Crusher." Said Oliver.
"Good luck with those tights." Said Skylar.
"It's one night, okay?!" shouted Kaz.
"Whatever you say, guys." Said Skylar. "I'm going to go look up the kinds of normo diarrhea." She turned to leave.
"Wait!" shouted Oliver, "Don't call candy that when you're trick or treating!"
"Yeah!" yelled Kaz, "The last time I did, the neighbors sprayed me with their hose! On the bright side, I did need a bath."
"Oo-kay." Said Skylar, looking at them as she turned. While she wasn't looking, she bumped right into a girl rounding the corner at the same time. "Oof!" mumbled Skylar, as she fell over.
"I am so sorry, ma'am." Said the surprisingly young girl, as she helped Skylar up, "It's been such a long time since I've came here. So much has…changed."
"That's fine." Said Skylar, studying the girl. She wore a bright pink and shiny uniform. She had tall, pink, high-heeled boots, a metallic pink skirt, a tight pink leotard, and hot pink gloves that stretched to her elbows. Yeah, not corny at all. "Uh, who are you?"
"My name is Isabella." She said, curtsying. It was an odd sight. She also had an odd accent, almost old English, but something soft about it that made it seem slightly unusual.
"Uh, I'm not familiar with your comic books." Said Oliver.
"Yeah, you look really old." Said Kaz. Oliver nudged him. "What?!" asked Kaz, "Her outfit is more outdated than Captain Atomic's!"
"I am not old." Isabella said, looking slightly offended, "I am but a thirteen year old girl." It quickly became apparent that she didn't use contractions.
"So, what comic books are you in?" asked Oliver, "What can you do?"
"My comic books are not so popular now." She said, a slightly sad expression on her face, "I do not have many powers. We mostly leave the saving to the male heroes. Is that not how it works?" Skylar looked slightly offended, and seeing this, Isabella grabbed Skylar's arm. Skylar yelped, and Isabella loosened her grip. Her long, pink nails dug into Skylar's arm.
Isabella examined Skylar's muscles, and once she was satisfies with what she had found out, let Skylar's arm go. Skylar rubbed her arm, looking hurt. When Isabella gave her verdict, she looked slightly ashamed. Slightly. "No, I see now that is not how it is. But why?" Before anyone could answer her, she creepily answered herself. "Oh, so things have changed?" It was more of a statement than a question. "Girls are stronger here, so I see. That isn't how it is when-I mean, where I'm from."
"Why?" asked Skylar.
"I guess you could say, my people are slightly less…evolved." Said Isabella. "You must be quite the hero, Skylar Storm."
"How did you know my name?" asked Skylar.
Isabella shook her head, slowly, a twinkle in her eye. Suddenly she paused, and shook her head fiercely, a though clearing away a thought. "You just look like a Skylar."
"Okay…" said Skylar, softly.
The young girl smiled, and shook their hands. "Well, it was very nice becoming acquainted to you." Said Isabella, "But I must run along. Do have a good time trick or treating!" The girl skipped off, humming to herself.
"Wait!" called Oliver, "How did you know we were-?" But she was already gone.
"Not gonna lie." Said Kaz, "That was creepy."
"I know." Said Oliver, "She doesn't use contractions, she talks all old-timey, and she seems to predict the future."
"Well, that could be a super-power." Said Skylar.
"But why does she let boys do all the work?" asked Oliver, "There are laws against that kind of publishing in the normo world!"
"Maybe that's why her comics aren't popular." Said Skylar, "Maybe we should try to help her."
"I suppose-I mean, I guess so." Said Kaz. "Geez, ten minutes with that girl and my language is getting more gooder."
"I don't think you have anything to worry about, Kaz." Said Oliver. "She's practically an Elementary schooler. What's the worst that could happen?"
"I don't know." Said Kaz, "But there's something off about that girl. And I'm going to find out what it is!"
"Relax." Said Skylar, "There's nothing dangerous about her."
"Did somebody say, 'danger?!'" cried Captain Atomic, running in. "Danger is my middle name!"
"High lameo-mc-cheesy-tights." Said Kaz.
"Stop making fun of my tights!" whined Captain Atomic, "It hurts my feelings."
"Yeah gramps." Said Kaz, "I'm sure back in your day villain disputes were solved by tea and a friendly chat."
"Ignore him, Captain Atomic." Said Oliver, "We were just talking about this weird girl we met."
"She's either really weird, or from a really bad planet." Said Skylar.
"Well, who was she?" asked Captain Atomic.
"Well, she had long, gold hair, and a bright pink uniform." Said Skylar, "Her name was Isabella."
Captain Atomic froze. "Wow." He said, softly, "Haven't heard that name in a while."
"Who is she?" asked Oliver.
"Isabella was a hero from before even my time." Said Captain Atomic. "She was a good little girl, even though it was unacceptable for her, being a female, to go on big missions. She always did her best to help." He sighed, "I remember her a little too clearly." His heart seemed to ache with the words. "She had an odd set of powers. She could vocal manipulate, and simply manipulate behavior. She could also shadow manipulate, which means exactly what it sounds like."
Skylar, Oliver, and Kaz all exchanged a look. So she couldn't read thoughts or predict the future. "Wait." Said Kaz, "If she's a hero even older than you, how does she look so young?"
"Simple, Kaz." Said Skylar, "Lots of heroes live for a long time. Some stay young for a long time, too. I mean, just look at Horace."
Captain Atomic took a deep breath. "Kids, Isabella is…dead."
Whoa! Didn't expect that, did ya? Well, I hope you enjoyed! Review to see what'll happen next! I'm really proud of this, I have so many ideas! This story might even go on past Halloween, if I don't have time to finish it. Oh well, more fun for you! Bye!
