Here's the first chapter! Get ready to have some fun!
Chapter 1: What A Life!
"I am SOOOO excited!!" said Kit as her and her cousin, Jenny were outside walking around.
"What, what is it! It's Pete isn't it?" asked Jenny couriously.
"No. It's Mom! She's going to have Ben in two weeks!" Kit grinned happily as she jumped up and down.
Jenny hung her head low and stared at the ground.
"Oh...I forgot about that...sorry!"
"It's o.k., you were just talking about your 'going to be' brother. (Sigh). I feel so lonely now...with Angel and Dad gone...besides talking to you, I have no one." They countinued to walk to the front of the school in silence. It was a wonderful day outside, the sun was out, the sky was blue, and there was no sign of danger.
They kept walking 'til Jenny said, "I think I'll ask if I can go to the cafe downtown, and no, Kit, I want to be alone.," she added before Kit could say anything. "See ya!" She ran into the school and down the hall. She turned a right and there it was, Storm's office. Slowly, Jenny raised her hand to knock on the door. But before she even touched the door, she heard Storm say, "Come in."
How does she know that? Everytime I come, just before I knock, she knows that I'm here. she thought as she opened the door and walked inside the big office. It had two couches in there, which Storm was sitting in one of them, a desk, and another door that led to her bedroom.
"What do you need, Jenny? I'm sorta busy right at the moment," said Strom as she looked up from grading some papers then drank some of her coffee.
"I was wanting to know if I could go to the cafe place downtown. Can I?" Jenny asked as she looked at her teacher with hope.
"Yes you may," said Storm, "But, you know that if you don't come back by 8 o'clock tonight, you'll be in trouble."
"Yea, I know. Bye!" She walked out of the room and down the hall again.
A couple minutes later, she was walking on the streets of New York, New York. As she passed all the citizens, they stared at her in amazement, seeing a famous girl like her walking the streets to a cafe called The Happy Place. Jenny just kept walking, her eyes focusing on the little coffee shop.
Jenny opened the door and walked over to a table in a corner. She sat down and looked at the menu, her eyes searching for her favorite coffee. Then her eyes stopped on a coffee that was called Ice Cream Paradise. Tears formed in her eyes as she remembered that was her dad's favorite coffee. She put down the menu and put her head in her hands. What she didn't know was, that a guy was watching her, wondering what she was crying softly for. He got up and walked over to her table and sat down across from her.
"What's wrong, miss?" he asked in a polite voice. Jenny looked up at him. Her eyes were tear stained, but she quickly dryed the rest of them. "Nothing really...I just noticed my dad's favorite coffee...he's in the hospital because he had a horrible accident." She looked in his eyes then looked down at the table. There was silence for a long time, then a waitress came and asked what they wanted and all that stuff.
After a while, then the guy said, "My name's Steve Rogers. What's your's?"
"Jennifer Grimm, but you can call me Jenny."
"Wait...you mean, Ben Grimm's daughter...you're The Thing's daughter?" Jenny nodded.
"Wow...well, I'm not really important...maybe, not like you. Anyways, tell me about yourself."
"Well, let's see, I have a cousin named Kit Richards, and..." She kept talking about her family and about the school she goes to and more stuff. Steve never interrupted, he just listened and nodded his head every now and then.
Finally, Jenny paused and looked down. She hadn't told him about Angel, not yet.
"What is it?"
She looked around at all the people staring at them. "Do you think we should talk about this some where else?"
"Yea...my place?"
"Sure, if I can."
"O.k. Come on." They put down their forks, Steve first had to pay for the tip and bill, then they left.
They walked for about twenty minutes, but to them, it seemed like five. When they finally got there, they stood in front of a apartment. Jenny looked up and stared up at the sky. Suddenly, something in a green cape flashed by quickly. Jenny shook her head in disbelief and rubbed her eyes.
"Something wrong?" Steve asked as he turned around and looked where she looked.
"It's either my eyes are tricking me, or there's someone following us." She walked up the steps and turned around. "Are you coming? I can't find your room unless you tell me."
Steve looked at her and smiled. "I guess you can't...I guess you can't." He walked up the steps and opened the door to the building and they walked inside. They walked up a flight of stairs and stopped infront of a door that read:
Steve Rogers Romm 216
"You know who ever wrote that spelled 'room' wrong," Jenny said as she smiled at him.
"I told the manager but he didn't do anything about it." Steve opened the door and put his hand in the room as a gesture. "Ladies first."
Jenny smiled and walked inside the room. It wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. It had two beds, a bathroom, a kitchen, a TV, and a desk with a chair. She sat down on one of the beds and looked around. Her eyes then rested on the balcony that was outside. She walked over 'til she was infront of a glass door. She looked outside with wonder. The people on the streets looked like ants as everyone hurried to go to work and lunch and such.
Steve shut the door and walked over to her 'til he was beside her.
"Beautiful, isn't it? Anyway, what did you want to tell me?" Jenny turned around the look of depression was all over her face, as she walked one of the beds and sat down. She stared at the floor for a while before she started. "I had a boyfriend named Angel, his real name was Loran, and, well, he was in a jet with Logan and all the other students to try to find a cure for me and my cousin be-" she told him what happened had happened to her and Kit and about the jet accident. Tears formed in her eyes when she told him that Angel had to go to a school for blind kids. Steve sat down beside her and put his arm around her shoulders. She finally told him about the promise they had kept for three years straight, the deal that they promised to keep forever and ever.
When she finished, Steve nodded and looked down at the floor. He thought about if he should tell her his secret...
"Do you have anything you want to tell me?" she asked as she looked at his face.
He thought for a moment, thinking about what he should tell her. "Maybe someday, you could learn my secret..".
"What do you mean by 'someday'? Can't you trust me?" she asked with a worried look on her face.
"Well, I just met you, I mean, I don't really know who you-"
"I know what you mean...I just thought that since...you know..I'm famous and all that and I thought you could trust me." she paused for a moment then looked down at the floor. "Because I trust you..."
Steve was shocked. She trust me? He looked at her for a moment, then said, "If you tell anyone, I'm probably going to bust you're head open!" They laughed at the tease for a while, then Steve said, "O.k., what I wanted to tell you is that I'm...Captain America."
She looked at him wide eyed for a moment, then said, "You...I didn't...wow, I gotta catch up with life." She fell backwards and landed on the bed. They sat there for a while when Steve said, "I got to go to work, so, I'll see you some other time?" Jenny nodded as he got up. "Oh, I almost forgot." He leaned forward to kiss her, then she finished it. "Bye!"
"Bye.."
"What are you smiling about Grimm?" Logan asked as Jenny walked past him.
"Oh nothing...just had some fun." She quickened her pace as she went down the hall. She turned a right and opened a door that lead to her room. She walked over to her desk and looked at all the papers. She was trying to find a cure for her father. She looked up at the top shelf and noticed the picture of her and her dad at the ball park. She was at the age of twelve, just one of those normal girls who loved baseball. He had been wearing his old Cinnciati Reds hat and T-shirt with some jeans while she wore a purple T-shirt and some jeans with her hair up in a ponytail.
"Hey Dad? Have you ever played baseball when you were in school?"
"That and football. I was good at it too, like you!"
"I like baseball but I don't get football at all!"
"Then I don't know how you're related to me!"
Jenny smilied as she remembered that day very well.
Hey! You like it? I certainly do! Please review!
