Chapter 8
(FutureTech HQ.)
At the med bay, Martin is punched in the face by an angry Neil. The FutureTech boss falls over but he gets back up. "Okay, I totally deserved that one."
"The hell you do!" yelled Neil. "Pulling that stunt by shooting at mu kid was not right with me!"
Martin then gets back up with the help from Victor. "Sorry man, just needed to make sure that my theory was true."
Soon, they begin to scan Luna and her condition. "Well, this is unexpected and also not possible to even happen" said Victor as he goes through the tablet's scanners.
Neil is confused and so are the rest of the family. "What? What's not possible and unexpected?"
"What's wrong with Luna?" asked Leni as she calms down her fussy baby sister.
Martin then places down his tablet and he shows them a holographic visual. "Turns out the energies from the chronosphere device have changed her signature entirely and has the same match as the device does as well. Which make sense since that blast from earlier."
Neil then puts the pieces of the puzzle together. "So, what you're saying is that Luna. My daughter and they're sister has the same energies as that blasted device you guys got?"
Martin and Victor look to each other and then to Neil. "Yes."
Neil sits on the chair and is stressed at what has happened and this worried Luna. "Dad, I know this is a whole lot to take in, and everyone else is on the same thought as well."
"Which one? The fact that you have super powers now or the fact you almost died?" asked Neil. "Or that you have gained something from this bases machine that made you who you are now."
Martin then speaks. "Technically, the Chronosphere device is of Einstein's design."
"Can it McKenzie!" yelled Neil. They all remain quiet from this.
Luna looks to her dad and she sits up from the bed. "Dad, I'm still kicking and still alive and you have to admit as everyone else in this room are thinking, that with these powers I have. I can be able to help people and save them from danger."
Neil knows where this is going and he sighs from knowing what this means. "So, what you're trying to saying is, to be just like a…"
"A superhero!" said Lincoln. They all look to him as he looks excited and then he looks to Luna.
Luna chuckles. "Yeah baby bro, just like a superhero. An ice powered one too." She then looks to her dad. "So dad, what do you say to this?"
Neil looks to Leni and Gwen, they seem to have the same mind and agreement about this idea and of course Lily also think this is okay. "Dad, this is Luna's choice and if she wants to help save people then let her. She would totes be a cool superhero." Leni realizes what she just said. "Did I just say a pun?"
"I'm all in for this as well Neil" said Gwen. "This is Luna's choice. We just need to be there to support her."
Neil sees everyone, even Lincoln is cool with this and so he smiles. "Alright, alright. I guess I wanna see this through as well. I guess the world could use a superhero."
Luna then hugs Neil. "Thanks pops." Neil smiles and he hugs her back.
"Well with that settled and you wanting to become a superhero or something, why don't we give your abilities a test run?" Victor interrupts, Neil gets up "Absolutely not-" the family look at him is stunned silence "-here! If we're gonna figure out what my daughter can do, we're doing it in a location she's more comfortable with, not the place where she nearly lost her life" Martin understands "But where?" Neil only smiles back.
At the Spellman Estate, the family along with the two FutureTech men are at the backyard ready for testing "Alright targets are set, we have the equipment in case there could be a mishap and first aid kits in case for, well you know!" they all look at martin with confused looks "Let's do this thing!" martin declares
Neil gives a thumbs up to Luna who looks towards the test dummies (property of FutureTech), she closes her eyes to focus, when she opens them again, they turn to blue with a mist seeping out, she points her hand outward and multiple icicle's fly out piercing through the steel dummy.
Everyone else looks in shock, then she jumps forward and uses both her hands to create a snow blast that instantly freezes the other two dummies, she looks at the third one and manifests an ice sword and throws it hitting the dummy's head and splitting it in half
Luna charges forward on a road of ice and hits the last dummy causing it to fly into the air while not looking she uses her left arm to freeze it in midflight, then she creates an ice hammer and hits the dummy causing to fly the other way, Luna disappears in the ice road she made and appears in the area where she started and launches icicles towards the dummy once again making it freeze in the air, she leaps up grabs the dummy and hurls it to the ground, leaving it in shattered pieces
The family could only watch in amazement of what she just did, Luna walks towards the frozen dummy, grabs it by the neck and rips its head off, while her breath becomes visible, after Luna closes her eyes, then opens them they revert to normal she drops the head and looks towards everyone else "So how'd I do?"
She sees they're stunned looks, she thinks they're terrified until they cheer for her, catching her by surprise "That was amazing!" "Too awesome!" "You totally made that look good!" "It's like you already knew what to do!" "I have goose bumps from all of that!" "The icicles, the sword and your moves! It's like watching a video game!" the last part was Lincoln, Luna blushes at their comments "Thanks guys"
"How on earth did you just do that?" Neil asks her still smiling, Luna just looks down and kicks some ice (get it?) "I dunno, I just closed my eyes and when I opened them again it was like I knew every move and power I have" hearing this made martin suspicious
"Perhaps this may have something to do with the energy inside of you" they all look towards martin "What if, and I'm just spit balling here again, the chronosphere's energy triggered an impulse in your brain allowing you to unlock what would have been years of practice" martin explains
"So you're saying Luna already knows what to do?" asks Gwen "in short term, yes she does" martin responds "This is so cool! I'm not a hero yet and I already know how these powers work!" Luna declares in victory
"Lincoln?" they all turn to see Jordan and her parents with a cake "What did we just saw?" Rick asks along with his wife "Jordan? What are you doing here darling?" Lincoln approaches her "Me and my parents thought we could have a surprise visit and hang out, but instead I just saw your sister go downtown with those dummies" Jordan says still in shock, Lincoln sighs and then explains to them of whats happened
Everybody is now sitting on the ground eating the cake they brought "So you sister is gonna be a superhero?" Lincoln nods, Jordan looks at Luna "That is so cool, and I mean that literally!" Luna laughs at the joke "Thanks Jordan"
"Though we have to keep this a secret! The only ones that know about this are the guys at DC as well as us" victor says "Don't worry we can all keep it a secret" Leni responds
"That is nice that we can all keep the secret and all, but this whole thing will be a major responsibility for you and you have to hide who you are so no one knows it's you fighting crime" replied Gwen. "You need to change who you are when going out there."
Luna then has an idea and she looks to all of them and smiles. "Guys, I know what to do." She then closes her eyes and she focuses on what she seeks and then ice and snow gather around her and everyone else backs up from this.
Luna was now changing, and as the snow and ice fade, her entire look is different. Her skin is pale white and her hair has been dyed blue and seems to be spiked up for a normal pixie cut and she has snowflake earrings and a snowflake necklace on her blue choker
She's now wearing a blue unitard that has laces on her heeled boots, she has blue elbow length gloves that have white fur at the openings. Her unitard seemed unique as there is a portion of white skin revealed in between her breasts. Yeah, she has breasts now, and for the past seasons she hasn't even had the same chest as Leni or Lori.
Her entire figure seemed gorgeous to look at and the unitard really fits her physique quite well, including her lower rear and exposed upper back. Plus, she's at Leni's height now. Her very appearance would make some guy or gal whistle and want to get to know her, she seemed like someone from a comic con cosplay with the body of a super model.
Luna then comes back down and they're all shocked at what just happened. "Luna, you just floated and changed!" said Lincoln.
"Everything about you has been changed entirely Luna" said Gwen. Lily drops her pacifier, shocked at what has happened to her older sister. Neil remains silent and is trying to figure out what had just happened.
"Where the heck did that outfit even come from?" asked Leni.
"I honestly have no idea what just happened" said Martin.
"Looks like she's gained so much from just shooting ice and snow" replied Victor.
Luna looks to herself and is amazed. "Whoa! Now I look good in this, totally dig it." She then puts her hands onto her hips. "What do you dudes think of this?"
Neil speaks up. "How the heck did you do that? Where did the idea of this came from and you're not 16 yet, how the hell do you have breasts?"
Luna chuckles nervously, "Recall that dream I talked to you guys about?"
They all either replied yes or no. Luna knew they'd say that. "Well some of you haven't been up to speed. Okay, so when I was back at FutureTech with the whole Cryo testing thing. I was out cold and I saw this figure in front of me and that figure was the figure you see now and she told me that I had a destiny to take in what I have, to be this new person."
Neil also sees this and figured it out. "That was no dream and you embraced the path that you have been given."
"That's right pops, what I saw was my hero-self telling me on what I have to be and what I must do and this is where it has led me. Some kind of weird destiny thing and I kinda like it" replied Luna.
Then Martin asks. "So, now that you have the looks and the powers. Now all you need is a secret identity to make sure no one else knows about who you really are. So, what's the name kid?"
Luna then realizes this. "Oh dang. I didn't think about that one dudes." They all think about the name for Luna to use.
They all come up with tons of names. Such as: Miss Freeze, Ice Girl, Lady Chill, Frost Chick, Fairest Frozen, Snow lass, Cold Gal, Arctic Aurora and then they think of the name Sub-Zero, but they all reply. "Nah!"
Luna then has an idea and she tells them with a smile. "Luna Frost. I am Luna Frost!" She then has her hands glowing with ice and her eyes glow blue.
They all smile hearing this and they all agree. Luna Frost is the good name for her to use, even though it sounds a bit obvious, but they know that when it comes to the people of town there isn't much in those who would figure things out from the person's secret name.
Luna then recalls something. "But, if anyone tries to figure out who I am, then I can just do this!" She then uses her ice powers to make some kind of ice ninja mask on her mouth. "How's this?"
Neil chuckles. "Now that is very impressive."
"Thanks pops" replied Luna. Lincoln goes over and hugs Luna and she hugs her little brother back. Soon, Leni and Gwen join in and then Lily and of course Neil joins in on the family group hug.
(Later.)
Martin and Victor head back to FutureTech to report about this and Jordan and her parents head back home, leaving the Spellman's to talk about this.
"Okay, so we need to start talking about some ground rules with the whole superhero thing" said Neil.
The family listens to Neil "Rule no.1: Don't use your powers for you own selfless needs" Luna looks at her dad in confusion "Dad I know what I'm doing, I'm not gonna do bad things" Neil looks at her "Fair enough, but still that's a rule"
"Rule no.2: If you wanna show your powers to anyone, ask us first" Luna nods in response "and finally Rule no.3: I'm pretty sure your powers could also be linked to your emotions, so keep them in line otherwise people will start getting suspicious" Luna knows she still hates the louds and she had to keep her emotions and powers in check
"Guess we got all the rules figured out now, so what do we do ne-"they get interrupted by Harv "I don't want to be a bother sir, but it appears that there is a convenient store being robbed in great lake city" Luna knows what that means, she looks at her family who motion her to go, she transforms then takes off on an air road made of ice that disappears behind her "Go get em' sis!" Lincoln yells from the window
Somewhere at great lake city, the Casagrande Mercado is being robbed by five men with ski masks except the fourth man is wearing an ice hockey mask, the first one has an assault rifle, the second has an AK-47, the third is armed with a pump shotgun and the fourth one has an SMG "Come on old man load the cash in the bag ASAP!" the third man says to Hector
The first man is guarding outside, checking if the cops are coming, as he is about to take another step he realizes he can't move, he looks down to see his feet completely frozen "Hey man" he turns to get punched in the face
Inside while the cash is being robbed Bobby, Ronnie Anne, Carlos and CJ are being held at gunpoint by the second robber, they were all near the freezer, Ronnie Anne is scared out of her life but then she notices the freezers door was getting foggy quickly 'What the?' "Hey!" she turns to the robber "I said don't move and stay down!" then an ice blast shoots from the freezer sending him all the way out of the milk isle
The other robbers see this and walk towards the other guy who is completely frozen except for his eyes and nose and there's snow below his feet "What the heck?" then the third robber turns to the kids "Who did that?!" he demands, but he doesn't notice the snow manifesting a humanoid form "Me!" he turns around and is decked in the face hard, then is frozen by his arms and legs "Who the-"his mouth is covered by ice
Luna turns to face the fourth robber but sees him hold hector at gun point "I'll shoot him!" he yells as hector begs for him not too, Luna just looks at him in anger and makes her hand into a fist "I'll shoot!" then Luna disappears through the ice beneath her, the robber looks around in confusion "Where is she?!" unknown to him there was a broken freezer behind the counter (they were planning to fix it later), some ice was still in it
Luna manifest from the ice and leaps into the air with an ice sword, the robber turns around and his arms gets cut clean off dropping the SMG with his arm still attached, he lets go of hector and scream in pain, then Luna super kicks him in the face knocking him out, Cold!
Soon sirens are heard outside so Luna drags the one armed unconscious man and his arm and the third robber whose arms and legs are frozen, she uses her powers to control the fully frozen second robber to follow her outside the Casagrande's could only watch in amazement
Outside the cops see a man whose upside down, unconscious and his feet frozen to the lamp post, then they spot the super heroines dragging the other robbers she drops the other two and unfreezes the second robber who lays on the ground shaking from the cold, the officers cuff the men except the one armed one, Luna notices the damage she's done and decides to show some mercy
Luna approaches the unconscious man and freezes his stumped arm and his removed one thinking 'maybe they can reattach it' before she leaves "Hey, wait!" she turns to see the Casagrande's "Thank you so much for saving us mija!" Hector says "No problem!" Luna says but just as she leaves Ronnie Anne grabs her arm, she turns to him "Who are you?" the girl asks, Luna smiles and takes his hand off "Luna Frost" she then takes jumps off and rides the ice road
"Whoa" "She was amazing!" "Did you see how she teleported?!" "She's gorgeous!" "She really was something huh Ronnie Anne?" hector asks "Yeah she really was" then she thinks 'but why did she look so familiar' she noticed the way she looked but her face seemed familiar to her, she decided to shrug it off, the police just watched in amazement when bobby shows them what he recorded
Later Luna returns home with her family waiting "Luna!" "How's it go?" "Did anyone get hurt?" "Were there bad guys?" they start asking "Guys please, please one at a time" Luna tries to calm them down, then they see the TV turn on "You might want to see this" Harv says
"Katherine Mulligan here reporting from Great Lake City, I am standing in front of the Casagrande Mercado that was recently attacked by four armed gunmen, but suddenly a mysterious hero comes out of nowhere and neutralizes the threat, saving the family inside and here with me is Roberto Santiago, Mr. Santiago you said you recorded everything?" Bobby waves at the camera "Yes I did! Here watch!" the camera man zooms in and they all see what Luna Frost did to save them "That was incredible!" Katherine says "I know right, thought he arm cutting part freaked me out a bit!" Bobby puts his phone away "Well you heard it here folks, there's a new hero in our midst and she's here to show us that evil beware for…. What was her name?" she asks bobby "Luna Frost" "Luna Frost everyone, and she's here to tell criminals to beware there's a cool new hero in town!"
The Spellman's look in shock "That…. Was ….. Awesome!" Neil declares "You put them on ice! Literally!" from Leni "You kicked butt, sweetie!" Gwen says while holding Lily who just cheers "Ripping that arm off was intense, but you did what you had to do!" Lincoln says "Aww thanks guys!" Luna looks away "I say we celebrate, earlier I made fried chicken and gravy!" Neil says, making the family cheer
Later as night falls all the Spellman's get ready for bed, Luna just finished brushing he teeth she's about to get into bed till she hears a knock on the door, she opens it to see Lincoln "Hey Lunes" Lincoln greets "Hey Little Bro, come on in" Luna says, they both take a seat on her bed "So whats up little bro?" Luna asks, she notices the worried look on her brothers face, she understands whats bugging him "You're worried if something happens to me huh?"
Lincoln looks to her "I'm proud that you got powers sis, but I'm kinda worried what would happen if you get hurt or worse" Luna puts her arm around him and lets him rest his head on her shoulder "It's okay Lincoln, I know that this is serious and dangerous as well, but I know how to take care of myself out there" Lincoln looks at her again "But what if-""Linc, I'm fine you don't have to worry about it" Luna tells him "Okay, it's just that, we both said we have each other's backs and I just wish there was something I could do to help"
Luna smiles at his offer and hugs him "Thanks for being so caring little bro, I promise that I'll try to be careful" Lincoln hugs her back "Okay Luna, Okay!" soon after, they break the hug "Since you're here Linc, you want me to keep you company tonight?" Luna asks "Yeah, I'd like that" the two siblings get into bed and fall asleep while hugging each other
The following day Leni and Luna head for school, driving next to them was Lincoln on his Vulture bike, they arrive at the school, Luna watches her brother park his bike while at the same time Luna sees vanzilla, seeing the ex-sisters, especially Lynn, gets her blood boiling, she then realizes her hands were starting to glow blue luckily she controls herself and they return to normal 'too close!' she thinks to herself, she has to try and keep herself calm which will be a problem.
To be continued…
Action, excitement and arm slicing, if you all haven't figured it out yet, go to YouTube and look for Injustice 2 Sub-zero introduction and match his finale with Luna's training, please leave a review.
