1Disclaimer: I do not own Worm, that belongs to Wildbow. I do not own Heroes of the Storm, that belongs to Activision-Blizzard and Blizzard Entertainment.

Author's Note: So, I wrote a Heroes of the Storm/Worm crossover when I was feeling rather dark. I don't know if I'll go back to it but I was feeling that there was a more Heroic story for me to tell of Taylor and the Heroes of the Storm. So, let's see if I can do that. In this story, She DOES NOT HAVE ALL of them yet, right now she has shall we say a "starter pack". Which Heroes does she start with? Read and see! Also, I will be using some Blizzard characters that are not in the game so as the story progresses, more will appear.

Winslow High School

Brockton Bay

It was late at night, in the city of Brockton Bay and at the site of the worst high school in the city, it was quiet. The security cameras mostly did not work, except for a handful which made it very easy for an intruder to sneak around and easily pick the lock on the door that led into the school.

Quickly and silently the intruder moved through the school hallways. If the cameras were working, they would have seen nothing as the intruder was obscured by a stealth field that was close to 500 years in advanced technology. Moving with purpose the stealthed intruder made their way to their objective, stopping at the locked door that was the Winslow High School office. With ease the person picked the lock and opened the office door and proceeded inside, closing the door behind. The person looked around the room and saw the part of the office that had the security station. They paused to review it and chuckled when they found out that the cameras that were working had long since stopped recording anything. They scoffed as they saw VHS recorders that were empty, not even containing tape to record anything.

Satisfied, they looked and saw the locked door belonging to the Principal of this school, Carrie Blackwell. Moving to the door, the lock was just as easy to pick as the others. However, not taking anything for granted, they pulled out a tool and waved it around the entrance. Satisfied, they put the tool away and moved into the Principal's office.

Pushing a button on their wrist the stealth field was deactivated and the intruder was revealed. Standing in the center of the room wearing a skin tight silvery suit with bright blue piping that glowed, pulling back the hood the person wearing the suit was revealed to be a beautiful young red headed woman. They lifted the high tech goggles so that they rested atop the crown of her head.

Looking around the person spoke quietly, "Alright, I'm in. I told you it would be easy. Now, let's check things out."

Moving to a file cabinet that was locked with a padlock, the intruder quickly picked that lock and opened the cabinet starting with the middle drawer. They looked through files of students and found the one they were looking for, then they opened the top drawer and found two other files that they were looking for. Taking the three files, they moved to Principal Blackwell's desk, sat in her chair, and opened the first file. There were pauses as they looked the file over then when done they set the file to the side. Next they opened the second file and looked it over and put that to the side when done. Finally they opened the third file and looked it over.

Eyes widened as the file was reviewed. "Unbelievable!", the woman exclaimed.

Taking out a device the intruder held it over the pages. The entire file was scanned by the device and when finished they decided to repeat the process on the other two files. Then they turned on the computer at the desk. Once it finished booting up they took the device they had earlier and placed it into the USB port of the computer. Seconds later, the log in screen vanished and access to the computer was granted.

She grabbed the keyboard and starts typing a search on the taskbar and is quickly rewarded, reviewing the data they then copy it to the device. Another search and more data was located. The person gave a long low whistle with what they had found.

"Whatcha think? We could send this to an outside Protectorate department or shall we send it to the media? They love corruption stories.", this person quietly asked.

A reply was heard. With an evil chuckle the intruder accessed the computer's email and began typing a message. Then they copied over the data and with a final extravagant wave of their hand they clicked the mouse on the "Send" button of the email.

Task done, they were about to shut down the computer when they changed their mind and opened up a file that they found After using the device attached to the computer to bypass the security, they were able to fill the form out, complete with the Principal's authorization codes. Once finished, they submitted the Student Transfer Request Form to the school district office.

The mysterious red haired woman quietly said, "There ya go, one transfer out of this shithole coming soon."

She heard the reply and just chuckled then quietly replied, "It's no big, just doing you a favor. It's going to take a while though. Anyway, I'll secure things here and head on out and we can go to our next stop."

The computer was powered down, the device attached to it retrieved and put away. The files returned to the filing cabinet and the cabinet was locked once more. Then they made sure that everything was exact as it had been left on the desk. Once that was done they pulled their goggles back over their eyes, pulled the hood over their head and activated their cloaking field and left the room, locking the door once more. From there they left the office, taking care to lock the door again.

Then they made their way out of the school and left the way they came, leaving no trace that they had ever been there.

Once they were a distance away and in a secluded spot they turned off their cloaking field and were visible once more.

Speaking quietly she said, "Alright Jay, you're up!"

The figure standing began to shift. Ripples in the clothing showed as the outfit that the person was wearing was changing. The red hair was lightening, shifting from red to a stunning mix of blonde and white color, forming into a long braid. The body was growing slightly taller and filling out. A staff with a glowing blue crystal appeared in the changing woman's hand, seconds later the transformation was complete. Standing now was a woman wearing a white dress with blue epaulets on her shoulders with an attached cloak. There was additional blue panels attached to her waist that were on top of the skirt.

The woman huffed and spoke quietly. "I wish you would not call me that. My name is Jaina."

There was a reply in the woman's mind and the woman huffed again. "Alright, we're going."

Raising her staff above her head the ground at her feet swirled in a pattern of blue symbols then there was a flash of light and the woman disappeared from the hidden spot.

A second later in another flash of light the woman called Jaina appeared in the driveway of a nice house. With a wave of her hand the woman vanished again but this time she had turned herself invisible. Jaina walked up the driveway and opened the side gate. Closing it behind her she walked silently along the side of the house and paused at a spot where there was a window on the second story. There was a window next to her as well.

Becoming visible once more Jaina whispered, "Alright we're here. Back to work, Sarah." Jaina's body shifted again and once more the woman that had infiltrated Winslow High School had reappeared in her high tech outfit.

She activated her stealth field again, then she pushed a button on her high tech suit and there was a very quiet whining sound. Glancing at her hands she nodded in satisfaction. she began to climb the side of the house very easily as if she was Spider Woman. She quickly reached the second story window and looked inside to see the sleeping form of a red headed teenager on the bed. Reaching into her kit she pulled out a device and activated it.

Looking at the window she took note of the alarm sensors in place and huffed. Continuing to examine the room, she saw the laptop on the desk with its screensaver of a starfield in motion.

Turning around to sit on the side of the wall like the old iconic comic book web crawler the infiltrator reached back into her kit and pulled out a tiny computer. A holographic interface appeared and the woman began to work with it to do a task.

Quietly whispering, "Okay, she left her computer on. I'm hacking remotely...finding her home network...oh, thanks T….got it. Network identified...and we're in. There it is," she chuckled. "Nice of her to name her computer Emma's laptop….and we're in."

While she was not looking at the laptop in the bedroom the screen did not change. Her hacking tools had the computer completely under her control. She hacked various programs such as the email program, the messaging program, even the social media sites the red headed girl frequented that was sleeping blissfully, completely unaware of what was going on. All that data was downloaded to the tiny computer. The download proceeded fairly quickly while using the home's Wi-Fi.

The woman used the search functions on her computer and found the specific data she was looking for thanks to the person whispering in her head as well as from finding information from the high school. Now, whispering to herself, "Found it. Text messages between her and Sophia planning the locker. Emails between her and Madison telling her to gather the material from the bins. IM's between all three girls. Then there's the texts sent to various kids at the school telling them that something big was going to happen on January 3rd at your locker and for them to be there. This is the jackpot. Sending it to the police now. Don't worry, I know the right detective to send this to. That old coot ain't getting it."

Once she was done she put the little computer away then she climbed back down and left the area of the house. The device that she used to disable the security cameras was deactivated, stealth field was reengaged so she could move away unseen and once in another secluded area the young woman shifted back into the woman called Jaina.

Jaina whispered, "Home, yes?"

There was a reply.

Nodding her head, Jaina raised her staff. Once more the ground seemed to light up in various symbols in a circular pattern at her feet then there was a flash of light and she was gone.

There was a flash of light and the woman called Jaina was now in a bedroom that at a single glance was the bedroom of a teenage girl.

Turning to look at the mirror and looking at their reflection they quietly said, "It would seem that I was in error Miss Sarah. Your plan was most successful. Now, we must wait. But, I guess it's time for me to go. You know where to find me.", the blonde and white haired woman chuckled.

The woman kept looking at their reflection and then something began to happen. She started to shrink, her clothes were changing, her hair came free from the braid and was changing from white and blonde to red, then to brown, finally to black and it was growing longer, more curly.

The transformation taking place was over in seconds and now standing in the room was a teenage girl. She was thin and tall, about 5'8" with long curly black hair, bright green eyes a mouth she felt was too wide. She was wearing dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt. The girl took a deep breath and let it out then turned and opened her bedroom door and listened carefully.

She nodded her head in satisfaction as she could hear a snore from her father's bedroom. The girl started getting ready for bed. As she did so she quietly said, "No, I'm not mad at you. I'm just processing what you...what we found out about Sophia, the stuff you found on Emma's computer, and that bitch Blackwell."

A voice in the girl's head spoke, it was the same voice as the woman that broke into the principal's office, "Hey, hey, hey. I realize the revelation is shocking, but now you know why that bitch of a principal was doing jack shit. A, she's lazy, B, she's been covering for Sophia because she's corrupt as hell since she's taking PRT and District money and putting it in her own pocket. If she turned in Sophia, no more money. But Taylor, we got the proof that Emma was behind the Locker! That should make you happy!"

A new voice spoke in the girl's mind, the voice was cold, lacking emotion and had a french accent. "Let me take care of it jeune fille. One shot, one kill. Come, Taylor...let Widowmaker take care of this problem for you."

The young girl, Taylor hissed, "No! No killing!"

A new voice spoke, "You really should let me hit them all with an Electrocute spell, or I could drop a Meteor on that cesspool of an insult to a school. How about I cast Blizzard on Emma's house?"

Taylor couldn't help herself and chuckled at that. "No, Li Ming, none of that.", Taylor spoke quietly.

Another voice spoke, the voice of the young woman named Jaina said, "I don't think killing any of these people will solve the problem, only create new ones."

That same French voice scoffed. "La demoiselle Jaina, there is nothing that a single bullet to the head cannot solve."

"Or a Disintegrate spell.", chirped Li Ming.

The first voice, the voice that was the form that Taylor had been spoke once more, "The boss lady's made her position clear. Besides, things are in motion now, soon we'll get to see some fireworks and all we need now is the popcorn."

Yet another voice spoke up, another female that sounded young but also ancient at the same time. "Lady Sarah, what did you do at the school exactly?"

The first voice, now identified as Sarah replied, "She speaks! Lady Tyrande finally joins in the conversation. As for what I did, I took all that wonderful incriminating evidence found on the Principal's computer and sent it to the media, the police, the FBI, and her boss, the district superintendent. The Principal was embezzling PRT monies, that's a Federal crime also, the attack on Taylor was biohazardous, they might consider that to be terrorism and a bit upset that the locals didn't call them. Also, there's the fact she's been covering up the fact that the Ward she's supposed to report on if said Ward breaches her probation deal is another crime. She was also stealing district monies meant for the school, that's a State crime. The stuff I found on Emma's computer went to the detective assigned to Taylor's case, the nicer one. Like I said Tyrande, fireworks."

Taylor looked up at the ceiling took a breath and finally said in a low voice, "Okay, that's it. Everyone quiet."

Finally Taylor seemed to get a sense of peace and quiet in her head. Nodding to herself she quietly moved to her door, opened it and after a passing a moment to ensure her dad was asleep she quietly moved downstairs into the kitchen. Once there, she pulled out some some bread and put them in the toaster. Waiting for the bread to toast, she pulled out butter and some strawberry jam which she applied to the bread once the toaster was done. She grabbed some milk and poured herself a glass then took the glass of milk and toasted bread upstairs with her after putting the bread, butter, and jam away.

Once back in her room she closed the door and sat at her desk and started to eat. Looking at the clock it was past 1am. She needed to get to sleep to face the day that would be her first day back at school since The Incident.

The Incident of being stuffed in her locker that was stuffed with the most vile things by her former best friend and the two bitches that were Emma's best friends on the first day back from Winter Break that resulted in her hospitalization. She had been in a coma for ten days even after Panacea had been called in to heal Taylor of her injuries and illnesses even though the heroine could not heal her out of the coma.

Panacea gave her father hope though by saying that Taylor would eventually wake up. When Taylor did wake up, she awoke to the discovery that there were voices in her head. Five different voices, all women. The voices were freaked out, wondering where they were, what was going on, and that had caused Taylor to freak out and she was placed in the mental ward for three days so that she could be evaluated.

During that time in the mental ward The Voices in her head calmed themselves down then calmly identified themselves. The first voice was a woman calling herself Tyrande Whisperwind. She said she was the leader of a race called Night Elves from the world called Azeroth. She was the High Priestess to their Goddess named Elune. The next voice called herself Jaina Proudmore. Jaina and Tyrande apparently knew each other as both called out to each other when they heard the other speak in the beginning. Jaina identified herself as a powerful Mage and said that she and Tyrande were powerful leaders of the Alliance, a faction of multiple races that opposed another faction called the Horde.

The third voice was a woman named Sarah Kerrigan. She was called a Ghost that was fighting against a powerful corrupt government called the Confederacy. When asked what was a Ghost, Sarah explained how she was a very powerful psychic that was trained in infiltration, spying, and assassination. Taylor was in shock when Sarah said she was a powerful psychic.

The fourth voice was a woman with a French accent who called herself Widowmaker. She said she worked for a group named Talon as an assassin and it was very clear that she was not a nice woman. She tried to exchange stories of missions with Sarah, telling stories of her battles with a group called Overwatch but Sarah said she was trying to atone for what she had been forced to do while working for the Confederacy.

The final voice was a young woman named Li Ming. She said she was a Wizard, trained in the mystic arts to fight the forces of evil and she had left her teachers to fight the Legions of Hell on a world called Sanctuary. The stories that Li Ming had shared of fighting demons and devils was eye opening and gave Taylor nightmares for a few nights which Li Ming apologized for.

Taylor had been shocked and surprised at the voices in her head. Her freak out astounding the doctors and thus forcing them to put her in the mental ward briefly. The voices in her head had equally freaked out. Each one was as confused and frightened as Taylor was. Taylor had been sedated by the doctors and placed in the mental ward. When Taylor awakened later, the voice of Tyrande Whisperwind was the one that was so calming and was able to get Taylor to relax and settle down that first night in the mental ward.

Once the voices realized that they were trapped in Taylor's mind, Tyrande was the one to speak on everyone's behalf. She slowly introduced everyone, including herself to Taylor. Over the next night and day each voice introduced themselves at Tyrande's introduction. They talked about themselves, explaining who they were, where they were from, what it was they last remembered.

Taylor slowly came to the realization she had powers. She wasn't sure what kind of powers she had other than voices in her head but now she knew that she wasn't crazy as she first thought. Taylor kept this information to herself. After a three day hold in the mental ward where she was subject to a psychological evaluation each day. Finally after the three day hold in the mental ward she was released back to the regular hospital ward where after a final examination by a doctor she had been immediately discharged.

January 16, 2011

On discharge day her father was extremely happy and delighted to see his daughter, she was completely healthy after having been healed by Panacea. A nurse wheeled her out of the hospital and brought her out of the hospital to outside the front doors. Danny was waiting for her, opening the door of his old faithful pickup truck. Taylor gave a smile and thanked the nurse then got into the truck and Danny closed the door, thanked the nurse himself and got in the truck and drove away from the hospital.

As Danny was driving he offered, "Want something to eat, Taylor?"

Taylor looked distracted, looking out of the passenger window.

Danny asked, "Taylor?"

Taylor reacted this time. She turned her head to look at her dad and responded, "Sorry dad, you said something?"

"Are you hungry?"

Taylor blinked and both father and daughter heard the growl from Taylor's stomach.

Danny smiled and commented, "Well, I guess that answers my question. Burgers, pizza, chicken, or something else?"

Taylor said, "Burger. Panacea did say that I needed to eat a little more to replace the fat she used."

"Alright kiddo, burgers and fries it is.", Danny smiled as he gave his response. He looked at Taylor real quick to show the smile and made a left turn to head for Fugly Bob's.

After a very satisfying meal where Taylor ate two bacon double cheeseburgers, a large order of onion rings, a total of 96oz of Coca Cola, Taylor was lying on the family couch in the living room zoning in and out of her food coma, the TV was on playing a movie of some sort that she couldn't remember what the plot of the movie was.

Her father Danny peeked in from the kitchen and saw his daughter on the couch. He wanted to talk to his daughter but he decided that it could wait one more day. Grabbing a beer from the refrigerator he opened the bottle and went into the living room and sat down in his recliner and joined in watching the movie, drinking and finishing his beer then fell asleep just like Taylor after a little while.

A couple of hours later Danny awoke to the smell of food being cooked. Sniffing the air as he woke up, the smell was of ground beef cooking. Standing up and stretching out the kinks he then walked into the kitchen to see Taylor working the stove.

With a smile Danny asked, "Hey Little Owl what's cooking?"

Turning her head Taylor smiled and answered, "Hey dad, just making some tacos. Could you get the shredded cheese and taco shells? I sliced up the lettuce."

Danny smiled and nodded his head, "Sure thing.", then he went and grabbed the box of taco shells from the pantry and the shredded cheese from the refrigerator and put them on the counter by the cutting board next to the bowl of sliced lettuce.

"You alright?", asked Danny.

As Taylor was adding the water and taco seasoning Taylor replied, "Yeah. Panacea fixed me up." As she stirred everything together she pointed to her eyes with her free hand. "She even fixed my eyesight, she just told me that I'd need to eat a lot for the next few days. How many tacos you want, dad?"

Danny blinked as he realized that he didn't notice that Taylor was without her eyeglasses. He mentally cursed for not noticing. Then he put on his best smile and patted her on the shoulder. "That's wonderful honey but don't overdue it. As for tacos, I think three would be good for me."

Taylor smiled and said, "Three tacos for dad coming right up."

Food preparation complete, Taylor and Danny enjoyed the dinner of tacos and nacho chips with salsa and cokes. Danny tried to start a conversation but he was having trouble finding the words. The dinner was eaten mostly in silence until Taylor finished her food first and said she was going to her room.

When Taylor left, Danny pounded the kitchen table and started swearing at himself for not being able to talk to his own child.

Taylor was in her room, she'd closed her door and was sitting on her bed looking at the mirror in silence.

Then a voice in Taylor's mind spoke. It was the voice of Tyrande that said, "Taylor, we have been thinking. We don't believe that we are just voices in your head with our memories."

Taylor quietly asked, "What do you mean?"

Tyrande responded, "We think that you can use our abilities."

Taylor blinked. Whispering, "What? Are you serious? How?"

The voice of the woman called Widowmaker sniped, "Yes we are serious jeune fille! As for how, you should know! Use your head and focus!"

Taylor figured out how to forcefully silence the voices while she was in the mental ward and she shoved Widowmaker into the dark. Widowmaker screamed, "No, please nooooooo!" As Taylor did so, Widowmaker's voice echoing and fading away. Everyone else was quiet. After a couple of minutes, Taylor let Widowmaker back out.

"No need to be a bitch about it.", hissed Taylor.

In a shaking voice Widowmaker responded, "Don't...don't EVER do that to me again!" Widowmaker proceeded to go on a tirade, swearing in French, Italian, and English until Sarah Kerrigan, Li Ming, and Jaina Proudmore screamed for her to shut up.

As Widowmaker continued her tirade Taylor hissed, "Keep it up, I'll put you back there and not let you out for a week."

Widowmaker's tirade immediately ceased. There was complete silence for thirty seconds then she quietly said, "I'll be good. Just please, don't do that to me again. I can't take the dark. It...it...brings it all back."

Sarah couldn't resist, "What's the matter, afraid of the dark?"

Widowmaker screamed, "Shut up! You have no idea what Talon did to me!"

Taylor snapped she raised her voice to above just above a whisper, "Hey, knock it off! Let's go back to the beginning here. You were about to say something Tyrande."

The voices quieted and Tyrande said, "As I said earlier, we think that you have the power to use our abilities. Taylor, I'd like you to think and focus on my voice. Think and focus on my name."

Taylor took a deep breath and began to think about the voice that was speaking in her head, the voice of Tyrande Whisperwind. She focused on the voice, the name and she saw an image in her mind of a beautiful elven woman with long green hair and a long white flowing dress.

Suddenly Taylor felt something happening, a pulling sensation inside herself as if Tyrande was moving towards her from the inside and Tyrande was coming outside herself. As Taylor was looking at her reflection she saw herself changing.

It happened so fast, Taylor's body was growing in height, her clothes were rippling as if they were liquid. Taylor's clothes changed from the jeans and t-shirt into a long flowing white dress with . Taylor's skin changed to a pinkish hue and Taylor's black hair was growing even longer and changing color, from black to blonde, then it turned green. Taylor's ears growing outward, elongated with multiple earrings on both ears and her eyes changing to a full white color. Tattoos appeared on Taylor's face around her eyes. A silvery tiara with gemstones appeared atop her head and a golden circlet on her forehead. Elegant bracers were on her forearms and on her feet were elegant yet comfortable boots.

Sitting on the bed, Taylor was not there anymore but a very tall, very beautiful elven woman. The elf looked around the room in a very surprised expression.

The elf spoke and it was not Taylor's voice but that of Tyrande. "By Elune! You were right Jaina! How is this possible!?"

Taylor's voice was now in Tyrande's head. "What the hell!?"

The voices of everyone else started speaking in Tyrande's mind now all at once.

"What. The. Fuck?!", exclaimed Sarah.

Widowmaker exclaimed, "Sacre bleu it worked! It was as you said la demoiselle Jaina!"

Li Ming shouted, "My turn next! My turn next!"

Jaina calmly replied, "So, my theory was correct. I'm glad."

Tyrande stood up now her taller size becoming clear as she stood in the room.

Seeing Tyrande in the mirror which didn't catch her entire appearance due to her size Taylor's voice asked, "How tall are you?"

Tyrande's reply was in a language that Taylor didn't understand at first but seconds later Taylor understood what Tyrande had said but Jaina piped up, "Tyrande is a Night Elf, or as they call themselves Kaldorei. They are very tall. She's 6'8".

Taylor sighed, "So not fair…"

Everyone asked, "What's not fair?"

The embarrassment was radiating from Taylor's mindscape.

"If all of you are supermodel gorgeous like Tyrande I'm going to just die.", Taylor hissed.

Everyone was silent.

Taylor sighed.

Sarah tried to be positive. "Taylor you're still growing! You are pretty and will grow up to be even prettier!"

Widowmaker started to say something but Jaina interrupted, "If you cannot say anything nice, perhaps it would be best to not speak."

Widowmaker huffed.

Tyrande moved around the room, enjoying the freedom of moving around once more. She spoke in her native language and there was a glowing white beam that appeared enveloping Tyrande Whisperwind and Tyrande felt a sensation of increased stamina and heartier.

Taylor was quick to ask, "What was that!? That feels great!"

Tyrande replied, "It is a spell to increase the fortitude of one's self and others. My magic works here, which means that your magic most likely will work here too Jaina and you too Li Ming."

Taylor asked, "What other spells can you do?"

Tyrande replied, "I am the High Priestess of the Goddess Elune, there are many spells I am capable of. Spells that heal, spells that harm, spells that protect those from injury, spells that remove disease and spell like the one I just cast that boost the recipient."

Jaina commented, "She is an extremely powerful caster and she's been alive for thousands of years."

Li Ming was floored, "Thousands of years old? The things she's seen, done! I want to ask you so many questions!"

Taylor was in shock as well. She could see images, some of Tyrande's memories flash as Tyrande thought of her past and it astounded the teenager.

Tyrande looked at the mirror to see her reflection. "Well, let's see if this works."

Tyrande focused on Taylor and Taylor began to think and focus on one of the others in her mind now. Quickly there was a response and the process that had changed Taylor into Tyrande began to happen once more.

Shrinking in size, hair changing from green to a blonde and white mix, her eyes turning blue, the clothing shifting slightly to a mix of white and purple. A white dress with purple panels atop the white of her skirt. Her belly was exposed as there was a shirt with long sleeves for her arms covering her chest with a vest atop the shirt. Purple shoulder epaulets accompanied the outfit as well as a long cloak with a hood that was currently pulled back. The pink skin that was Tyrande's was changed back to slightly tanned skin. Held inn one hand was a black and gold staff with a blue glowing gem.

Tyrande was gone, standing in Taylor's room now was the Archmage Jaina Proudmore. She looked at herself in the mirror and raised her free hand to look at it. She was here, in the world just as Tyrande had been standing in Taylor's room moments before.

Jania said, "It works. Taylor can summon us from her mind and we can use our abilities."

Jaina called upon her magic and a small ball of water appeared in her hand.

Taylor spoke, "Wow this is incredible! Wait, I think dad's coming up the stairs! He usually checks on me before bed."

There was the sound of someone walking up the stairs, it was definitely her dad on the way up. With a thought, Taylor willed herself forward and Jaina began to change back to Taylor very quickly and in seconds Taylor was standing in the room just as her dad opened the door.

Poking his head in to the room to see Taylor Danny said, "Good night Taylor, see you in the morning."

Taylor turned to look at her dad and replied, "Good night dad."

Her dad closed the door and Taylor could hear his footsteps moving away from her room and towards his own bedroom.

Looking at her mirror she said, "I have powers."

Sarah chirped, "Yep. So it would seem."

Taylor raised her arms in triumph and exclaimed in a low voice, "I have powers!"

Danny's voice called out from his room, "What was that Taylor?"

Taylor opened her door and poked her head out. "Nothing dad."

"Okay." The door to her dad's room closed.

Taylor closed her own door and went to her desk and sat in the chair.

Taylor quietly said, "This is huge."

All the voices echoed, "Yep."

Taylor quietly exclaimed, "I can be a hero!"

Widowmaker scoffed. "Being a hero is not all that it is cracked up to be."

Jaina said, "Being a hero is hard, but it is also rewarding."

Taylor nodded her head, she looked around her room spotting the Alexandria poster that she still had on the wall. Quietly she said, "We can do it, I know we can make Brockton Bay better."

She grabbed her pajamas and started getting ready for bed. Tomorrow was going to be the beginning of something awesome.

*French translations: I admit to using Google translate for the few French words that Widowmaker uses. Here they are.

chien enragé – rabid dog

jeune fille – young girl

la demoiselle - Lady
