A/N: This story will be written as a trilogy. It is also a story for all you River/Eleven fans out there, especially those who like the idea of them having a child together.
Since I couldn't fit in a complete summary, I'm gonna post it here:
Life has its struggles, especially when one is born different from everyone else on the planet. Nova Susan Song is no ordinary teenage girl from Earth. In fact, she is not from Earth at all. She possesses these 'abilities' that she does not know the origins of, such as a high IQ that is much greater than any of her peers and to be able to make her skin glow gold and heal any injury at will, but her adoptive human parents urge her to keep these 'powers' secret from anyone she meets, including her best friend. With no clue as to why, Nova spends most of her life researching where her abilities originally came from and concludes that they must have come from her biological parents, who had given her up for adoption when she was just a few days old to be protected from a danger she does not understand—a danger known as the Vokanari, a.k.a. The Silence.
And they want her to be their next weapon against her own father, the Doctor.
When her best friend and foster parents are kidnapped, Nova joins her biological parents through Time and Space to find them and, along the way, learns the true meaning and responsibilities of being a Time Lord.
This story takes place between series 6 and 7 between "wedding of River Song" and "angels take Manhattan."
Also, Nova will be American in this story, since she was raised in America. Also, the first 10 chapters will be written like a flashback, and then chapter 11 onwards will be written in present tense. Nova also won't meet the Doctor or River until about chapter 12.
Prologue: An Unearthly Child
I can't believe this. I can't believe what had just happened…what I was just told.
I can't believe my parents would do such a thing—to keep this secret from me for so long!
I guess that settles it now. The beans have finally been spilt…
It's all true…
I am not human.
Of course, I've known this for a while, pretty much my whole life. Now that everything has been confirmed, it seems too absurd to be believable.
I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't even know my own identity anymore. I feel like my whole life has been a big, fat lie.
Only one thing is for certain, one thing that stands above all other absurdities:
I am an unearthly child.
A freak.
A nobody.
An alien.
An alien whose name was never the name that her human guardians gave her.
An alien who always seems to stand out from a large crowd, simply because her IQ is way too advanced for her age.
An alien who obviously has superpowers way beyond Planet Earth.
An alien who doesn't have a clue where she truly comes from.
An alien whose true name will haunt her for the rest of her days:
Nova Susan Song.
As much as I like the sound of the whole name put together, I don't want it to be mine. I don't want to possess the name of someone whom the entire universe seems to want dead. If I was born human—if I was normal—I wouldn't have to worry about such things. I could have normal rights, normal friends, a normal family…
A normal life.
But my life was never normal, and it will never be normal again.
