So I decided that I might as well continue this story bc I actually really like it. welpp. This chapter will be longer than the last and my grammar may not be perfect but ya know i'm not really stressing. Loll anyway let's just jumpstart into this chapter. OH and also i'm going to try doing this from Derek's pov bc I feel like if I do it from someone's point of view it'll turn out 'cleaner' than if I do it as narrator. Hopefully that made sense to you! Ok now i'll actually start.
Derek's POV
(this picks up where the last chapter left off. Derek and Owen are currently standing in the main hall of headquarters on the stage. They have a perfect view of all the heroes in their suits)
I scanned the crowd. These are the people I am going to be working with. If i'm being completely honest I thought they would all be old guys with experience, but half of these people are women! I suddenly felt self conscious which is extremely unusual for me. I mean i'm Derek I have a super god complex I don't get self conscious if anything I just get my ego boosted. But I get to be self conscious today. "I just broke up with my fiancé, who i've been with for 6 years, because she was cheating" I said to myself repeatedly as if it was an excuse. But somehow I still managed to put my 'dreamy' smile on my face. I never understood why it was so dreamy but I went with it anyway because ego! I scanned the crowd again and noticed that the people here are very diverse yet still strike up conversations with each other. I noticed my best friend and brother, Mark Sloan, talking to who I believe it's Addison. When he called me and told me he was dating a redhead I didn't believe him because it's Mark Sloan. But I mean everything changes at some point right? I gave Mark a grin and continued my 'scan'. Next to him stood an asian woman with curly black hair who seemed to be looking up here but not at me. Maybe she has a thing for the boss, who knows? But next to her, next to her stood the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I stared into her striking emerald green eyes that went well with her dirty blond hair and got lost almost. I couldn't explain it but there was definitely a spark. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever and just like that all my pain went away. I had to find out who she was but I guess I though too soon because she broke eye contact and seemed to be staring at the floor.
I was broken out of my trance by Owen. "...and I would like you all to welcome the newest superhero to our staff Derek Shepherd" I didn't even notice he was taking until he mentioned my name. I just looked down at these people that I was supposed to work with while Owen told them my powers. I was able to shoot ice, fly, and I had super speed. But I had one other power no one knew about because most superheroes only had three powers maximum, I could turn invisible. However since my father is a surgeon not a hero, I got a fourth somehow. I don't really know how it happened and I've never told anyone. Heck my fiancé didn't even know I was a super hero!
I found myself watching her again. The way her golden locks covered her face and how her suit was lavender colored. It would look good against my indigo one I thought. "No" I said to myself you can't be thinking like that you just met. Well not really. Not officially. Oh God I have a crush.
I was still watching her while Owen rambled on about who knows what and then I heard her giggle. I was so thankful for her asian friend for making her laugh because her giggle was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. "What if her voice sounds even better" I wondered out loud, and then turned a bright shade of red after Owen looked at me skeptically. Shoot.
"I, uh, have to go to the bathroom Ill be right back" I said as fast as possible
"Uh huh, okay" Owen said trying to contain his smile.
I dashed out of there faster than possible trying to think about her again to slow my thoughts. I was screwed. I Derek Shepherd am screwed.
I would have stayed in the bathroom longer but Mark came in and told me they were still waiting to give me my official badge. Crap. He led me out and I followed and I swear I have never been more embarrassed. "My sisters better not find out" I muttered to Mark. All he did was send me a grin that told me otherwise. Great. But as soon as I locked eyes with her again all of my embarrassment was gone. There was something about her that just made me feel a special way and I loved it. The 'ceremony' was kind of quick after that. I took an oath to always help and protect and then I was on to meet the actual superheroes. There were an awful lot of interns and maybe about 20 heroes. But who was I to judge. I'm just glad i'm an actual hero. The first people to walk up to me were Mark and Addison Montgomery, according to her badge, so I was right.
"Hey man, welcome aboard"
"Hey Mark and..(I paused to make it look like I was reading her name)..uh, Addison is it?"
She chuckled and offered me nod and a hello. Owen came back and had me move on, I met Miranda Bailey who I knew I was going to have fun being around, but not in a weird way. She was a strong and well respected woman who also had a sense of humor. I also met her husband Ben Warren he seemed like a nice guy. Next I met Alexandra Grey, or Lexie, as she called herself. There were many more people I met like Alex Karev, Izzie Stevens, George O'Malley, and that asian woman from before whose name I learned is Cristina Yang but they didn't stand out like her. Finally I met her, Meredith Grey. Thank God for the badge. Meredith. Her name was beautiful just like her.
"Hello" she said and my breath almost caught in my throat, it WAS better than her laugh.
"Hi" I replied with a such natural ease that it scared me sometimes. I looked calm. That's good right?
"So welcome aboard I believe we'll be working together quite a bit since you have all the powers I don't" She said. "YES!" could this day get any better?
"Oh? what powers do you have?" I tried to act natural. I could see her friends watching us skeptically with smiles on their faces.
"I have superstrength, I can make a force field, and I can become invisible." "Me too" I though to myself. There was something else but I couldn't put my finger on it. Little did I know she had four powers just like me.
"Ah that's cool, so would you mind showing me around a bit?" It was a desperate plea but I could care less. She seemed shocked though. Maybe I was too forward.
"I would love to" YES! "but I promised my friends we'd go out, sorry! but I could ask my sister to show you around?" she seemed to be almost questioning.
"That's too bad, you won't get to hang out with me"
That made her laugh and I thanked the lord that I hadn't screwed up too much yet.
"Well bye, it was nice talking to you Derek" she spoke with a soft smile on her face. But I was mesmerized but the way my name sounded rolling off her tongue. But my thought soon came to an end as she turned around and walked over to her friends who gave her an almost knowing look before laughing.
"Bye" I said sad, almost gloomy. I was surprised at the effect she had on me.
MDMDMDMDMDMDMD
"Yes mom"
"I am happy"
"No mom, I just wanted to get away"
"Yes, i'm sure i'm fine"
"Thanks mom"
"I love you too, bye, say hi to everyone"
Well that went better than expected. I thought my mom would react differently when I told her I moved out of New York and to Seattle. But she was understanding since she too was a hero. I could sleep peacefully now before my hero sister found a way to contact me. But as expected the last things to run through my head before I went down in a peaceful slumber were Meredith Grey and they way that she smelled like some sort of flower.
Okay so that was about 1,400 words I'm actually surprised. I tried to make it longer but since I only started this fix it's hard without giving away too much. Also keep in mind that I wrote this on my phone just now in the car with only three hours of sleep and I'm literally publishing it because my other chapter was too short. But I do want to know if you want to see them get together soon or make Derek wait a while. I also have some surprises in store. I feel like I have the basic layout for this story done since i've been brainstorming in my history class for the whole year. But yeah leave a review please and well tell me if you like it. I'm also all for the constructive criticism and stuff so feel free to comment whatever. Oh and comment whose pov you would like to see for the next chapter. Anyways till the next update. - McMerder13
