"Cindy, it's great to have you here over at our University, since you went from Midtown Community College, to Brooklynn, and now you're here to finish your degree." The woman who is my guide over here is telling me about everything as we walk through the building that is focused only on science and engineering.
"Uh, yes. Thanks. But it's a bummer that I wasn't able to revalidate three subjects. But I can take them here, only issue is all the extra credit I don't have."
"Oh, right, you have to do communitarian service, I think there are a few options, and you also need the three semesters of physical activity. Those were great; I am part of the Cheerleading team."
"On what semester are you?"
"Oh, I'm in my fifth semester."
"That's nice, I think from my time in college I think I'm in sixth or seventh. A place in between according to what the person who interviewed me said."
"Well, here is the FAS, or Faculty for arts and Sciences." I nodded as we walked through the halls of the building. I saw a few people who had Avengers T-shirts; to my delight I counted six different people wearing shirts that had my emblem and pattern, as well as another three that had a red scarf.
But as I walked through the first floor I saw a painting in the wall that had the avengers posing each in their own way. Hawkeye with his bow, Widow using her guns, Iron man flying, Cap crouched ready to throw his shield, Hulk roaring at the sky, and lastly was me swinging. "It's awesome, isn't it?" She said as she looked at the wall.
"Yes, were you there?" I asked just for the conversation to not die, but I know that I'm just making things awkward after all I'm just silent unless she asks me anything.
"Yes, I was there. But I got saved by Hawkeye; he shot from the top of a building that was across the street. I was amazed by his precision, I mean I fail at shooting a ball into a hoop, how can he do that with a bow and arrow? I also saw Silk as she swung by, I saw how she was able to take out one of the things that was flying around those
Leviathans I think." She gushed as she recounted her story.
"Yeah, I heard." I said as I looked around.
"Oh right, let's continue, you have class in the third floor. On classroom four. Which career are you on?"
"I'm on ECE and ME." I said with a light blush, because it feels like bragging. I can't help but curse at myself for being a superhero and be shy about some things.
"Wow, you're on Electrical and Computer Engineering and you have my respect and condolences." She said as she placed her hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you." I said as I made my way to the classroom and sat down for the first day of class, while taking one I had to choose, but I have to take a few other subjects due to I know I can make time for everything.
The first day of school was as expected of every single first day, presenting yourself, your name, age, and pastime. Not a single class happened where I didn't receive questions about being too young, and why was I too young. I mean 18 is old enough, but I have been studying in college since I'm fourteen, but I do have to take a couple more courses I think I will be out of here by the time I'm twenty which is around the attack of Ultron since in a year Shield falls, well first Iron Man 3 happens it doesn't matter, three more semesters and I'm out. Unless I want a PHD, but nah too much work.
I make my way to the tower; I took the subway since it places me in stark industries just on the edge of Hell's kitchen and Garment District. Tony said that I was to make my way there since the workshop is still under reconstruction after the incident with Veronica and the crowd control thing that happened.
Walking out of the subway and after a few minutes I arrived to Stark Industries in NYC, and made my way to the workshop where I will be working on the development of the shields.
"Hey JARVIS, pull up my research on the web shields. I want to make sure the wall is made strong enough." I said as I waited by the holo-table projected both reactors and a wall with the amperage that each made and how the solid wall held up.
"JARVIS raise the amperage by twenty percent in each reactor, and run a diagnostic. I want to see how much time it takes for the power to run out of the reactors." I said as I began to take notes and run calculations in my head as I wrote down the results. After around eight hours of constant trial and error I was able to find out everything I needed.
"JARVIS can you place all the results in the Log. I have time." With that I made my way towards the exit but just as I was about to stop a cab I saw a black car stopping in front of me. I felt weird as I walked down the stairs, but just as I took another step I saw another black car. 'I think I'm in trouble.' Looking around I can see another one.
My Silk sense went off. "Help!" But just as I screamed, my Silk sense went off, everything slowed down, I could easily dodge, but I'm in my civvies, and I can't do anything but just brace myself and scream. I got tackled and something jammed into my neck, my Silk sense gave me the ability to know what was about to happen.
I heard a someone scream but I was overtaken by darkness as my body grew numb. 'Fuck my life.' and just like that I fell unconscious.
I woke up to darkness and a light over my head, I can feel the fabric around my head and my hands are tied by rope. So that means that they targeted me. I can feel my clothes completely fine, meaning nothing bad happened to me. I shuddered at the thought, instead of just breaking out of this binds I struggled just to make it believable.
"Jarvis." I whispered. "I need you to take over the lights when I say so." I finished as I felt the hum of my scarf against my skin.
"You cannot stay still so long; you're not that good at faking you're asleep." The voice is of someone I don't really recognize.
"Can you at least remove the bag from my head?" I asked trying to get them to let me see.
"Sure, here." He said as that cloth on my head was removed, I felt blinded by the bright light invading my eyes.
"Agh, Fuck!" I said as I turned my head away from the light.
"Quite a mouth you have there." He said as he pulled a chair in front of me and sat like all douchebags seat, by placing the back of the chair towards me and sat himself as well as placing both legs and leaning forward.
"Yup, so why am I tied to a chair, and why am I here? I'm just a college student." I said as I looked around observing closely that it's a warehouse, maybe in Queens. 'Huh, I can get out easily. I need to know more.'
"You are here because you work on something related to the Iron Man armors." Another man came out of the shadows; he has an assault rifle, and AR-15. The most common one used by these guys.
"And how do you know that?"
"A source told us that you can build them." He said as he walked towards me, he's clearly comfortable with a rifle in his hand.
"What if I say no?" With that said, he placed the nozzle of the rifle towards my face. I can dodge, but not without exposing myself.
"Well you see, I may not kill you but I know where to aim in order for you to keep working but with a limp." He placed his rifle aiming at my side.
"You do know those are in the millions of dollars. Right? Each one more expensive than the next." I said in a dumbfounded tone, I can see another 4 guys standing around.
"Yes, I am aware but we have someone who is paying us, and requested you." He said towards me.
"I thought the iron man suit thing was forgotten by the world."
"Yes, but our employer wants one of those." He said not really caring.
"Well he's in for a surprise. You do know that you kidnapped me, literally someone who works directly under Tony Stark. An Avenger someone who has a local hero on speed dial." I said as I placed my gaze on him. He looks like... an actor, someone... disposable. 'Well shit. Guess something big will happen to me and only me. Wait, remembering now, that girl from before the one who gave me the tour on campus, looked too pretty. Guess I have to deal with this right now.'
"Yes, but he's out of the city right now. He left yesterday for something in D.C." He said as he made he stood up from the chair, and took out his gun. "Now, you work for us or I will pull the trigger." He said as he pointed at me, I played the part and looked scared. But he didn't load it, it has bullets but it won't shoot unless he pulls back the hammer.
"Please! Don't kill me; I just want to have enough to pay for the monthly expenses making sure to not have my lights out." With that said the lights went out pulling everything into darkness.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" The guy in front of me sounded like he stood up and cocked the gun. I shot a web line to the roof pulling myself upwards to the top of the warehouse. I made an "oof" sound from my mouth. As the roof approached I broke the chair by pulling from my legs and hands, the rope broke as I spread my arms.
"She's here!" As he shot at the roof, I ducked sticking to the roof of the warehouse itself.
"Don't shoot idiot, we need the girl alive." The one I shall name douche said aloud to the extra. I pulled at my wrists taking out the gloves as they spread out. The scarf activated covering the lower side of my face as a grey light blinked for a second. Immediately I was moving since the shots followed after the glow.
"Stay together! She can't take us out all at once." Douche ordered as I heard footsteps. But that was me before, now thanks for the training I received I was able to do it.
"You sure about that?" I yelled as I jumped from one place to the other in the beams that are at the top of it. I was able to determine where they are. I shot a line towards them as a web shooter activated. "Taser." I whispered. The sound of my web shooter switching webs sounded in my ears as a soft click.'Here I go.' I told to myself as I leaped into the air not making a sound I shot a web at one of the goons in the group.
As the sound of someone getting tazed followed by a scream, I ran around the edge of the warehouse dodging bullets while also firing my own. I shot a web line with my hands and doing a backflip in the air I landed in front of douche and punched at the base of his stomach; before he could react he was out of breath from his lungs. I held back on my strength as I pulled the gun from his grasp and hitting the butt of the rifle against his face knocking him out.
I ducked low as one of the remaining three charged at me. I did a high kick knocking his head back, from a handstand I launched myself upwards and shot a web line at the face of the other one pulling him towards me followed by a punch to the face knocking him out. I grabbed him as I heard the sound of the last one reloading behind me and threw it at him.
"Here you go. JARVIS lights on." I said in my mask as the lights turned on. I walked to the last guy as he struggled below the body of his... friend? Doesn't matter. I just shot a taser web at him which knocked him out quickly.
"There we go." I said as I deactivated my tech making the mask lower itself back to my neck. I called the police soon after everyone was webbed into the floor.
"911 what is your emergency?" The voice of a woman sounded in the line.
"Hi, my name is Cindy Moon, and I was kidnapped by some guys, but after a while I was saved by Silk."
"Of course mam, are you safe right now?"
"Yes, Silk saved me. But those guys have guns but I'm just stuck on the beams at the top of the warehouse." I said as I jumped to the top as my suit deactivated back to gloves and two bracelets.
"Stay on the line, I will dispatch units soon to your location, we're trying to locate where you are." She said as I kept her on the line. Around ten minutes later I was startled by the sound of police cars arriving to the warehouse.
"Over here!" I yelled out hoping for someone to notice me. 'I know that I could've just jumped and made my way to the city swinging around. But those guys kidnapped Cindy Moon, and Cindy Moon has to report what happened. Meaning I have to make the call and just say the Silk ran away after saving me.
"I heard from bellow me, I can see my dear officer, the officer who is constantly after Silk.
"Hi? A little help here, she kinda left me up here and took off." I said as I faked trying to stand up in wobbly feet.
"Don't move, you may fall!" She yelled out as she began speaking into her radio and pulled her gun out. But as she saw the ones who kidnapped me and guns in webs she lowered it.
"Are you Cindy Moon?"
"Yes, I was kidnapped outside of where I work." I said as I explained my alibi.
"We received reports of a teenager getting kidnapped outside of stark Industries. Is that you?"
"Yes. Now, can anyone get me down?" I asked with doubt in my voice. 'Hey, at least I play the part. I totally would deserve an Oscar for my acting right here. Even though it's real life... huh.' After an hour of looking around the room and calling the fire department to get me down from the beam I told them everything that happened while adding details keeping it with as little details as possible. Since a bad liar focuses on the details too much.
"I don't think you need to declare since there are cameras where you work and they identified the people here, as well as the same cars with plates and everything.
"That's good, but I kinda need a ride home."
"Get in mine, I can take you there." She said as she walked towards her car.
"Thanks officer...?"
"Oh right, my name is Samantha Wagner."
"Thank you officer Wagner." I said as I entered the car, looking closely at Officer Wagner who wants nothing more than to put Silk behind bars. I can see a resemblance with an actress I can't place my name. Meaning she will have a role later on. 'Shit.'
"Where do you live?"
"Two hundred park avenue."
"Isn't that..."
"Yes, it is."
"Do you live there?"
"Well more like I have a room there that I can use, but anyway, those guys have someone after me... I'm kinda scared about that but I can talk to my boss about that."
"Of course, but don't worry we'll get the guy who is after you." She said as she placed her hand in my shoulder just as we pulled up in the tower.
"Thanks officer." I said as I walked into the tower and made my way to my floor.
"Miss Moon. Incoming call from Mister Stark." JARVIS announced as I walked into the elevator.
"Hey kid. Everything all right?"
"No, someone is after me, since someone spilled the beans that I'm working with you."
"Who do you think?"
"Not sure, but they have resources; they wanted me to make an Iron Man suit for them and they have the money even though each of them are worth around five million."
"Yes, can you take care of it?"
"I think Silk can, but not Cindy... I don't know what to do. I need to think about it."
"Will you go to class tomorrow?"
"Yes, but I will work in the tower. Can someone come and get me?"
"I can send happy towards you."
"Happy?"
"Personal chauffeur, but I'll arrive in the tower in a few hours. He's over at NYC. So he'll take you to College."
"Thanks can you also read over the log I left. I determined the Strenght it can withstand. But I need to runs tests. I also need data on how much can Hulk punch."
"Well I can calculate the numbers for your, it would also help for when we have to calibrate Veronica and the other forms to contain It."
"Alright. Thanks, we need to figure out who is after me, and also who gave the information."
"Sure thing. I'll have JARVIS on that. See you tomorrow kid, I don't want you near a street in case you get kidnapped. I want you out of the school and into the tower, happy will make sure of that."
"See ya later Tony."
"See ya kid. You had someone worried." He said with a smirk as the call ended and I reached my floor. I stepped in and focused on the sounds. A heartbeat and a breath.
"Cindy?" I heard as I looked around and placed my backpack which had everything. But that voice is one I don't intend to forget.
"Maria?" I said as she walked up to me, she has regular jeans and a blue T-shirt.
"I was worried, JARVIS told me what happened. I was about to go, but someone stopped me." She said as she walked up to me but kept her distance.
"Don't worry I was fine, it's not like I can heal-"
"I know you can! But Jesus Christ, you were kidnapped, and you just march here like it was an everyday thing."
"It's not, but I didn't mean to worry you. I'm sorry." I said as I stepped closer and she took my hand, which is really what I can handle for now, and she respects that boundary. We spend the rest of the time talking and ended up eating pizza.
"...and that's the reason I hate the smell of dog food." I said as I reclined back into the couch, as Doctor Curtis just wrote in his
"Cindy we were speaking. About... never mind." He checked his clock. "We still have fifteen minutes. Anything else you want to talk about."
"Well... I hugged Maria last night. As in I initiated the hug." He perked up.
"That's great! I'm so happy for you, that's a big step. How did you feel afterward?" He leaned forward with what I can say is a happy face.
"I panicked a bit and then she just let me hug her. After a while I realized I her body was pressing against me. It's weird I have what the mental age of 43? And a body that is 20 filled with hormones. I shouldn't get hot and bothered by a hug. Right?" I said recalling what happened.
"But how do you feel about your body?"
"Do you mean like... what?"
"To put it in simple terms. Are you a boy or a girl?" I couldn't help but snort in amusement at his reference.
"I think I see myself as a girl. I do feel attracted to guys and girls... is it gay or straight? I mean, I think I like Maria, no, I like her. Is that gay?" I said aloud.
"You think you see yourself as a girl?" He's right, I should define my gender. No, not should. I have to decide what I am. "Well it is, since you're in a girls body but how you see yourself is up to you. IF you are gay then embrace that, but I advice against taking that step because that is a big can of worms you don't want to open yet. First decide what you are." He said in a confident tone. So-"
"I AM... a girl. I mean I wear the clothes the underwear, underwear under big commas because using bandages is lot more comfortable. But you're right, I have to make sure what I am first, I'll think it over."
"Very good of you to think it over. You also might have to change that, have you done girly things? You have to embrace your girl side." I can't help but groan in annoyance.
"Do you know what girly stuff there is to do?" I asked completely lost.
"Shopping? That's something girly, you can be vain be... girly." I sighed as I looked over to the clock.
"How can that be girly, I just buy things. I mean I can buy video games. I like those."
"Right, that is girly but I can say that you can do better. Also you need proper underwear. My wife complains about bras but you have to embrace that if you think of yourself not as a girl, but as a woman."
"Ugh! Fine!" I said as I began walking out.
"Oh and good luck out there, take care of yourself."
"Thanks Doctor Curtis, I will. Tell Happy I loved the strawberry cheese cake, it was amazing." I said as I made my way out the room.
"See you next Tuesday Cindy." I closed the door and left, as I walked out into the street I can see happy ready and waiting for me standing in the door of the driver. He perked up as he saw me.
"How did it go?"
"Normal, he says I'm making progress." I said as he opened the door to the backseat. "Can we head home?"
"Sure thing, Tony said that you had the day off. Do you want to go to another place? Wait didn't you had to go to a class today." He said as he looked back through the mirror.
"...Yes... But its sports, I hate this."
"That's part of school kid, I remember when I was in college, and I was part of the Football team." He said as he began speaking, I tuned him out as we approached campus.
"Thanks Happy, I'll call you. Alright?"
"Sure thing kid, just not do anything crazy."
"I'll leave my bag here, it's just a class. I'll call you, alright?" I said as I stepped back.
"Alright, you can go."
"Thanks, Oh if you want something sweet go to the Bakery that is five blocks away from the tower, try the silk cake, or the cinnamon rolls." I said as I made my way to campus in order to get into the Cole Sports and Recreation Center, or Coles Center.
Arriving I can see the receptionist using his phone, he has an Iron Man case, I smile slightly as I make my way towards him. "Hi, I'm new, and I need the credit so I have to register in a sport club." I said as I placed my hands in the table.
"Sure, here are the options." He pushed a brochure towards me. 'Rock climbing, too close to what I do every day. Aerobics, too boring. Judo and other martial arts, same as rock climbing. Weights, Nah, too easy. Basketball, Swimming, Fencing... I think I'll stick with Basketball... or football. Oh right. They don't have one; rugby sounds nice I used to play.'
"Can I try a class before signing up?" I asked.
"Sure, which ones are you going to try?"
"Rugby, Basketball and cheerleading." The last one was due to do something girly.
"You can have two but right now the class closest is Rugby, too bad we don't have a female team. But you can talk to the coach about that. After that you can go to the try outs for cheerleading, and Basketball is tomorrow." He said as he began writing down my info on his computer.
"See you tomorrow in Basketball I'm the coach after all." He gave me a small smile.
"Thanks." I made my way to the football court that belongs to the Rugby team.
"Hi, I'm here for the try outs?" I asked to the coach, since he has a round belly and a whistle along with a baseball cap.
"You new?" He didn't even turn towards me.
"Yes? I'm new." He turned towards me; I'm wearing pants and a grey shirt for exercise.
"Listen girl, I don't need girls doing whatever girls do in my field and team." I felt a pang of annoyance.
"This is just a try out; do you even know what positions you're good at? Do you know the difference between forwards, backs and fullback?" Those ones I knew, I used to love playing as a back on the right wing, I was fast but kinda lanky which was hard to cover the opposing offence, but I was a good runner.
"Well forwards are in charge of taking care of defense and advancing; divided in Front row, second row and back row covers the scrum, while the front row or props supports the hooker during the scrum. Also Backs are in charge of the offense while the forwards defend backs more the ball forward. Full backward are the last option since all they do is cover for if the ball is kicked and ready to cover for the wings and center."
"So you know your stuff, did you play before?"
"A long time ago." I said as I watched the people finish up warming up. "But I know the rules. Can I play?"
"Alright, then. Which position did you play?" He asks weary.
"I was a good wing and center." I said in a nostalgic tone.
"Alright then, show me what you got." He turned towards the field. "Alright!" He blew his whistle; I kind of flinched by the whistle which made a few guys to chuckle.
"So since Jamie just graduated we need another wing. Today are the tryouts, make sure you go easy on them. We'll go with blue eight seven, follow up as if Jamie was here, and from there we'll try out. Forwards you make sure they learn what they're in for." He ordered as he whistled and everyone got in position.
"Stand with the others, you're last since you arrived late." He pointed towards the other guys who were standing; I can see different people getting ready, but no girls.
"Sooo... you're here for the tryouts?" A guy who is around the same age as me, he's jacked but not too much, he looks smug to say the least.
"Yes, I used to play, and since they said I could join a team I decided to give this a try." I said as I watched the first guy don't even take five steps and get tackled.
"You're up." I said as the guy who tried got up and left the field, and went back to standing in the side watching them practice.
"Oh, right, wish me luck."
"Sure." I said in reply as he smiled and moved to the wing position, the play began and he caught the ball, he dodged one by jumping back, only for the second back to tackle him like a missile crashing into his body.
"Well that was eventful." He said as he took a seat in the grass next to me.
"Yup, you should've ducked. Well I'm up." I said as I moved into the field.
"Look at that boys, we got a girl!" A guy in the Scrum said. He looks like someone who serves like a utility player, someone who can play in any position.
"Come on guys; don't be too hard on her."
"Why don't you go to the cheerleading try outs? You know you're early right?" A guy said as he took position in the center.
"Girl! Stand in position!" The coach yelled as he whistled. Immediately the scrum began in the line out in our side of the field, I can see other tryouts in the back positions. The whistle sounded as the Scrum began; the ball went to the center, then to the fly half. I took a step back and got ready to run at a reasonable pace. I just had to hold back on my real speed.
"Here you go!" The half-fly said as he threw the ball towards me in a gentle manner. I grabbed it and faked of being frightened, I can hear the coach almost groaning in regret, as well as a laugh from the full back.
As soon as the ball reached my hand I was off like a bullet at a reasonable pace, I sensed a tackle coming and took a step back, the tackler flew past me. As the second one launched himself at me I ducked low and pushed him upwards not too rough and as his body was pushed and landed behind me I ran again, dodging left and right, even jumping over one while pushing him to the ground.
I outran every one of them, and scored the whistle sounded, I turned and saw the coach he looks indecisive about me. "Damn, she outplayed everyone."
"She can't play! She's a girl." The one who I sent over my shoulder said in disbelief.
"And yet she threw you like a ragdoll!" One of the few in the Scrum said as he wrapped an arm around his neck in a lock, and began laughing while other looked awfully like he was pouting.
"Luck." He mumbled as I was walking forward with the ball in my hand. I saw the center open his hands motioning for me to throw it. "There you go." I threw the ball using my wrist to give the ball direction. He caught it easily. I walked to the coach, he kept looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"You do know this is a contact game, it's not to seat there and look pretty." He said as he narrowed his eyes at me, which to say the least he looks intimidating to say the least.
"Please, if I was pretty I would've gotten adopted when I was four... and I shouldn't have said forget that happened." I said in reply, he looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
"I'm shutting up now." I replied and stood to the side.
"This is tryouts, it only means that MAYBE you get in, not definitive. Now get in line just because you completed the run doesn't mean you're good at this." He said as he blew his whistle. During the next hour I had to let myself get tackled once because it was that or rat out myself as a superhuman.
"Alright, the ones who get in the team will get an email, no bitching, or crying. Positions are printed tomorrow across campus. If you didn't make it, then there's always next year. Moon!" He yelled at me as I was making my way to the building where cheerleading tryouts were supposed to happen.
"Yes coach?" I turned around.
"I don't play favorites, well I do since there are a few here due to scholarships. So if you don't get in, then don't come in running with lawyers or sues, alright?" He said in a tone which reminds me oddly of someone who is the secondary antagonist in a sports motivational movie.
"Sure thing." I said not really caring, I would love to play but there are other options. With that, I made my way towards the room where they do gymnastics and cheerleader tryouts are supposed to be.
"Alright bitches, we're here because mainly cheerleading is hard, we need the best of the best. So get to warming up." A girl who looks exactly what you would expect of a mean main character antagonist, that acts mainly as a nuisance. 'Shit they look hot, as in actress hot. She will be relevant.' She has the whole uniform, dark purple skirt with the long-sleeved vest in dark purple the front is white with the letters NYU printed in white beside 3 white stripes going down from the shoulders to the letters.
"First, you guys have to be flexible or strong. You, out." She pointed at a girl in glasses that has the looks of someone who clearly doesn't belong in a cheerleading tryout. I could intervene but doc said I had to do something girly.
"I may come as a mean, but it's all in good faith. Now in order to get in I have to see if you're good enough. You." She pointed at me with a smug look on her face, the other 2 girls beside her look dead bored.
"Yeah?" I asked as I finished up the split.
"Can you do a backflip, into a fly?" She asked me; after all I do look kinda nerdy to say the least.
"Sure." I got up and looked around me to not crash into someone. I backflipped and threw myself back doing a fly on the spot. "There." I said; she looks surprised to say the least, with a gleam in her eyes.
"Good enough." She said as she moved to another to do another flip or acrobatic feat. After running around in the field playing rugby I'm not tired at all, well I am enhanced and have been crime fighting since I was sixteen. "Name?" I heard behind me as I was doing a handstand split.
"Cindy Moon." I said as I got back to my feet, she wrote something in her phone.
"Alright, you will have to show if you can remember and repeat the routine." She said as she motioned for me to follow, everyone was standing there as another the other in uniform began making the performance. 'Well this got easier.' "You can add a flip or something at the end."
"One by one you will get your chance." She said as everyone took a step and performed the routine, to not overwhelm myself I focused on remembering the example.
"Cindy Moon, you're up." She said as I opened my eyes and walked to where the other performed. "You can start." She said in shrug. I did the routine, remembering the movements and as the end came I back flipped and finished in a handstand.
"Nice. Now get back to the others." She said with a smirk, eventually everyone had their chance, and like that everyone was dismissed with a reminder to check around campus as I made my way I can't help but feel kinda relieved about all this. I feel normal; I do have issues I can work to remove. But I can develop a routine, secret Id, I will go to the NYPD School and take a few courses over the next two weeks and I can work with the NYPD to patrol.
With my musings done, it's not even 6 o'clock. I was just in time for patrol. I got up from my seat and made my way outside ready to patrol and knock a few heads.
As I sneaked into the nearest alley ready to change into my suit but from the training that Natasha and Clint gave me, I knew I had a tail. But before I could do anything about it my silk sense went off telling me to dodge right. I obeyed as the glint of metal shined in the sun out of the corner of my eye; I grabbed his hand and twisted using the momentum I threw him into the ground. People around me screamed in fright as I disarmed him off the knife in his hand.
"What the hell?!" The man said as he groaned in pain.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Police!" I yelled calling for attention.
"They told me to attack you and give you this envelope." He said as he motioned towards his jacket, I stepped on his hand and took out the envelope.
"What is this?" I can see an officer making his way towards me.
"I don't know they paid me a big amount of money and told me to attack you and give you this." I stepped off his hand, he slowly got up. He's bald but has a beard, his eyes glassy with something he's taking.
"Go, if you ever get close to me. I will break you." In seconds he was running
"Hey Miss, are you okay? Did the man hurt you?" The officer asked as he looked at me.
"No, I disarmed him and threw him into the ground." I kept the package behind my back. "Be careful." He said before starting to speak in his radio and began running.
I made my way to the tower, this time I walked there; I wasn't so hot on going on patrol right now. I reached my floor and opened the envelope with a pair of chopsticks in case they have some sort of gas, or dust that can cause damage.
After seeing that it doesn't have anything I opened it and what I saw shocked me. "How did you get this?! Who gave you this?!" I felt a shudder run through my body, as panic began forming from just watching this pictures. Under each photo is my name written in neat penmanship which makes me feel terrified. yet the idea of someone finding out about this, brings complete terror to me. The photos fall into the floor scattering them in the floor as I take steps back as if they burned me. 'This can't be possible, how? HOW?!'
SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY.
I had to plan out the story, I already have the end and everything planned out for how this story plays out, it will be a fun "movie". I will treat it like a marvel movie, isolated with a few references to characters and events. So I will try my best to do it justice with Cindy as the main character and a villain that will match her. Either in wits or strength, but I have this and her next adventure planned out.
: Actually with an orphanage that is run down, they get a certain amount of money to keep the place running. At a certain age the body of someone starts demanding more supplements and food, the matron decided to kick Cindy out because she began eating more due to her being enhanced. I tried calculating how much can someone eats, and an enhanced. After 6- 8 hours digestion is made in a regular human being after eating food that has 2000-3000 calories. An enhanced should do it in 3 hours. With low nutrients in a food that is made to fill up a stomach and don't provide nutrients it means that Cindy would always be hungry (which is why she developed the unhealthy obsession with food.) She got kicked out because it became too much for the orphanage to keep her under a roof so the matron pulled favors to keep her in a place where she had to get herself food and shelter. She got evicted because the landlord kept her with a discount on her monthly rent.
Azaira: Thank you, I did stick to cannon because else she wouldn't be able to keep in contact with the team. Everything is planned so don't worry. Ultron will be fun to write, but it will take some time to get there.
Dullreign: I liked that you reviewed every chapter, but yeah Cindy's life does get better, she will face ups and downs but its part of life.
AN: I'm trying to give a realistic approach to a supernatural world. I stick to what I know and can do research in. So yeah...
Anyway, I will keep updating and there will be a double chapter next week due to a very important date for me. I love reading reviews and answering, also thank you for the eleven new people who followed the story.
Review, follow and favorite.
