Alyssa couldn't believe it… not five minutes ago, she had been a normal sixteen-year-old girl. But everything changes in the blink of an eye. Let me show you:
~*~Flashback~*~
"Alyssa! Get your rear in gear, or you'll be late!" came Alyssa's mother's call from up the stairs.
"No." Alyssa, or 'Lyss' by her friends, mumbled under her Pillsbury Doughboy© blanket.
"Alyssa," her mother said, right in front of Alyssa's door, "get up!"
"I'm dead. The funeral's next week. Money is always welcome." Lyss said from under her covers.
"Ha, ha. Not funny. Now get up." Her mother said, walking down the stairs.
"Fine." Lyss mumbled, getting out of the sanctuary of her nice, warm bed. Stumbling into the bathroom, Lyss started the shower. After her shower, she got dressed in her favorite denim skirt and tank top, a spaghetti strap with a picture of a small angel on it. (undergarments already on) Brushing her teeth, she went through her same, boring schedule. 'Who thought up Mondays? I wish death by evil monkeys on them'. Okay. So she's a little weird, but what do you expect from a teenager. After running a brush through her shoulder length blonde hair and putting it up in a ponytail, she caught site of her reflection. Seeing the strangest thing, her eyes went momentarily from their normal blue-gray to silver, then back. 'Strange. Oh well.' She then went down stairs to grab a toaster waffle from her mom before grabbing her keys to her '96 Ford Taurus. "Bye, mom! See you after school!" Lyss called over her shoulder.
"Have a good day, dear!" her mother called back.

"Lyss, babe, what's up?" called Bryant, jock/jerk extraordinaire.
"Go away, Bryant." Said Lyss.
Grabbing her arm, Bryant brought her close to him and hissed in her ear, "You listen to me, and you listen to me now. You WILL do what I say, and you WILL be happy about it."
"I think not." And with that, Lyss' eyes turned a pure silver as the wind began picking up. A slight tremor erupted at Alyssa's outstretched arm, obeying her. Her back ripped open revealing six wing structures. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt nor phase Alyssa.
Bryant's eyes widened in fear as he pointed at her, yelling above the howling wind, "You… you're one of those freaks!"
Lyss' eyes returned to normal when he said that. Quite shocked about it all, she ran. She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, which was pretty far, considering she was star female cross country member, but kind of hard, considering she was in a skirt. Eventually stopping in a small, secluded park, Lyss sat down on one of the benches. And that brings us back to the present.
~*~End Flashback~*~
"My dear niece, why are you crying?" came a deep voice from behind her.
"Uncle… Uncle Eric?" Alyssa said, turning to look into the face of her uncle. 'Uncle Eric' or Magneto as he was most known, stood behind her in, get this, normal clothes. "Uncle Eric, I'm so confused. I always thought I was normal. I did. But now…" Lyss trailed off.
"But now, you are different from everyone else, am I right?"
"Yeah…" came out the reply in a barely audible whisper.
"Come with me." Magneto said, stretching his arm out for Alyssa to take.
Contemplating it a little, Alyssa took his hand and they were off.
