Star's Keyblade4114: Good to hear, my friend.
FalconWriter9000: Good to hear. Specific ships? Um…I'm going to have to get back to you on that one, friend. Keep reading.
Enjoy the next chapter.
Jessica yawned as she walked down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen, she spotted Marco standing in front of the stove, cooking, "You cook?" Marco nodded and Jessica arched a brow, "Did you lose a bet or something?"
"No, me, Star and Higgs take turns with different jobs every day…and today's my turn to cook…I hope you like tofu and soy milk," he looked up and Jessica looked at him in confusion, "I don't cook meat, I don't cook real eggs…it's just something I don't do,"
"Whatever," Jessica sat down and took a deep breath.
Star and Higgs walked into the kitchen and moaned as they rubbed their heads, "Hey sleeping beauties," they stuck their tongues out at Marco and he chuckled he watched the two sit down, "Never gets old,"
"Shut up," Star groaned before lying her head on the surface of the table.
Jessica looked at the two sitting at the table before looking back at Marco and arched a brow, "So…you three know how I came to be…is there a specific story behind your origins?" Star sat up as she and Higgs slightly frowned and Marco narrowed his eyes as he continued to cook, "What? Do you know have a-"
"We do…some of us don't like talking about it," Star took a deep breath and shook her head, "The women in my family are well known spellcasters, but my great-great uh…great…I don't know how many greats…grandmother used her powers to cause havoc and kill anyone who crossed her…she ran off with a well-known supervillain…I don't know what happened after that, but when my great-grandmother Celina was born, the family was worried the line of spellcasters came to an end, but as it turned out, the magic in her was dormant…that's all I really know about my family history."
Jessica nodded and Higgs sighed, "My parents were scientists before they became archers. One day there was a chemical meltdown with one of the generators, causing an explosion, killing dozens and injuring about forty, including my parents. The radioactive waves from the generator altered their body stricture…why archers, I don't know, but my parents went to my uncle's archery range one day, and one thing led to another and before they knew it, they accidently destroyed the entire range. My uncle wasn't too happy about it, either,"
"Well…that is strange," Jessica looked at Marco and frowned, "And what about you shape-" Marco looked back with narrowed eyes and growled under his breath, "Um…Marco? What's your story? You said you were going to be a Geomancer if it weren't for your accident."
"That's right," Marco inhaled deeply and shook his head before he continued to cook, "Me, Star, Higgs and our parents went to South Africa when the three of us were four for a simple getaway. Being the stupid 4-year-old I was, I wandered into the jungles without telling anyone and I was bitten by a monkey and I screamed in pain.
My parents, Star's parents and Higgs's parents ran towards the jungle and found me, foaming at the mouth. My mom picked me up and carried me back to camp. Mr. and Mrs. Firefly looked me over and they feared that I was infected with some kind of virus that's deadly to humans.
Thinking quickly, Mrs. Firefly injected me with some untested serum, stabilizing the virus…and a short time after that, we realized that I can turn into animals, had heightened senses…along with a few other things as we got older."
"You mean a ma-"
"Finish that sentence and I'll knock your teeth down you throat," Marco warned and Jessica stared at him, "The only ones who know about this are me and somehow you…and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's because you're a Chimera," Jessica nodded as Marco stepped towards the table and set a plate of food in front of each other girls, "Well…eat up," the three nodded and began eating as Marco made a plate for himself.
A short chapter. Sorry for the length. This was a pain to write, not because I couldn't think of an origin story for them or whatever, but because I literally had to stop every few minutes to feed my little cousin. I knew Eclipsa isn't Star's eight-time great-grandmother, but they don't know yet.
Please enjoy everyone and please let me know what everyone thinks.
