Chapter 2: Meteor Strike
Trinity stared at the sheet music that had been smuggled to her by a friend that was a drummer. It was sheet music for a Styx song that was new to the radio called "Edge Of The Century". She was on a bass guitar at school about to play for the very first time. Most of the guys at Cary-Grove had found her to be attractive but mysterious due to her amnesia. But she was a wealth of information on things like history, and science. More over her ability to take a piece of music and learn it quickly on any instrument astounded most people considering she never played an instrument before, or so she claimed.
"Are we ready?" Todd Glassman, a fellow student who was the one who had smuggled the music out said to his band mates. He had asked "Linda Masters" to join them on bass considering his current bass player was sick. "Linda" raised her hand.
"Could I sing this song?" She asked. The young drummer shrugged his shoulders. "Sure, why not. Ralph can't sing. Let's see how good you are, Miss Masters," He said. She counted it off and the band started playing with her singing as they were practicing. She smiled as she was singing. She didn't realize her singing and playing would attract a lot of kids to come to the music room that they were playing in. The 5 kids that made up this band were astonished at her beautiful voice and by the fact that she wasn't even reading the sheet music. She was just playing.
"Beautiful!" said Harry Williams, a student after they finished to hear clapping coming from the kids that heard them playing the new song. The principal came in.
"Garrett, turn on the TV. I think there is something happening everyone should see," The woman said. Garrett turned to the TV that was on a TV tray and they saw a live feed from faraway Crescent City, Kansas about 3 miles from Smallville.
"I'm Dr. Garrison at the Crescent City Observatory and one of our telescopes has just detected a meteor shower coming to crash somewhere near Metropolis, which is about 5 hours away from Topeka. I'm urging anyone and everyone to get out of the Kansas state area as soon as possible," Said the female professor on the News broadcast. Trinity's eyes lit up red as her powers were beginning to surface. She removed the bass guitar as she moved closer to see a satellite image being broadcasted from space being provided by NASA. The fragments were different sizes and shapes but were on a precise heading to Smallville.
"Do you think it will hit near Chicago?" One kid asked her who stood near her, and she just shrugged. "Not sure, but a Meteor hit could cause some problems like radioactivity," She said. She then felt it. The sound of the siren beacon of the House of El, that was unique only to her since she was partially from the House of El. She grabbed her ears, as the ringing got louder.
"Don't you hear that?" She said as the sound of the beacon brought her to her knees. The band shook their heads wondering what was causing this woman pain.
This is your time. Your destiny is about to reveal itself, Spoke a voice in her head. She felt a presence take over her mind and body, but she was allowed to observe it. She took off the bass guitar, and walked out of the school and crouched and suddenly found herself in the air, flying without a plane or anything. She was frightened for her life.
If I can do this, that means I can do anything, She thought to herself. She found herself flying over Houston Texas and she landed at a Church "Trinity" knew from her child hood. White Oak Baptist Church read on the side of the building as she landed in the parking lot. She looked at her watch. 1PM Houston Time.
"What do I do now?" She asked the voice in her head that had guided her.
Enter, the small voice in her head said. She did, unprepared for the change about to come her way….
