Prologue:

I was born in the year 1553, the accidental consequence of my father's seduction of Lady Elizabeth. She was a high lady of the court of England and he was Chrono, a super villain attempting to live in the past while the government searched for him in the present. A mission had gone terribly wrong and he had been separated from his partner, his twin brother who went by the alias of Secondhand. My father and his twin have the power to control time and bend it to their will; by changing events in the past they have the ability to change the present and future.

After I was born, my father realized how close he had come to seriously damaging history. The king, Edward VI, only a young man at the time, died and his two sisters were left as the heirs to the throne. My father and his lover had kept their backgrounds from each other and he was shocked to discover she was Lady Elizabeth, future Queen of England. It was then that the reformation of his life began. Without a second thought, he broke ties with my mother and took me back to the present, unable to bring himself to destroy his own child, even by turning back time.

Meanwhile, Secondhand had begun a rampage of destruction in the early history of Asia. When we came back to the present it was to a completely different world. My father knew his job was to right the wrongs that his brother had caused. The problem was that no one remembered how things had been, except him, and the government agency that had been assigned to track him down. I was only a baby when he turned himself in and both of us were taken into custody. With the clock running down, the agency agreed to help my father if he would, in turn, help them. My father says that when he looked down at me it was the easiest choice in the world.

My father emerged from the battle victorious but broken. The fight had taken its toll on both the chronokinetic men. For my father it was premature back trouble; for Wallace Stevens…formerly known as Secondhand, it was poor vision. My uncle was carted off to jail after refusing to work for the agency in fixing history. He would ever remain a villain at heart and seek his revenge against the onetime brother that had betrayed him. After his escape from jail four years ago, my father's work was needed again and ever since he's been busy trying to track down his twin.

How I'm alive I'll never know. The government once tried to persuade my father to turn back time and remove me from the fabric of the universe. He refused and they made a compromise to brainwash the people at court, including my mother. She was known ever since as the Virgin Queen, though a few people know better. Now I live in the present, though I hardly know what they'll put on my tombstone.

However, right now I'm more worried about the simpler things in life, like how I'm going to survive being the new girl at school for the fifth time since I started high school. I've been to three public high schools and one prep school in England, but now we've moved back to the good old U.S.A. Where else would there be a school for superheroes? I protested that it'd be too obvious, where else to look for my father but among the super-powered elite in Maxville. He said it'd be all the harder to find us and the argument stopped there.

At least our new neighbors have a son in my grade that goes to the same school, I won't be completely clueless about where to go, or how not to fall of the edge of the floating campus. For better or worse I'll be finishing off my high school career at a place called Sky High.

AN: This idea has been buzzing around in my head lately. So, in celebration of my bday I'm posting it.

This story is meant to be slightly predictable. I wanted to take things that everybody has been doing and give it a twist. First of all it is going to be a Warren/OC eventually. Usually, I am completely scornful of fanfiction romance, but I've decided to try my hand at it. Some of you are groaning already but don't knock it till you've tried it. It will include a lot of action/adventure as well. This story will be very different from anything you've seen before.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Sky High but I do own Lydia and some of the original ideas in here. I also need to make a note here to say much of the plot was inspired by Jasper Fforde's works. If you've never read anything he's written you should, he is an awesome author. His works have been the inspiration behind the writing about time and some other things that will come into play later on in the story.

I also want to write a note here to say I do realize that chronokinesis has been a favorite topic of late in this genre, but I'm not copying anyone else by writing this. Thank you.
