Chapter 2- Answers
I'm standing in what looks like a hospital room with many machines hooked up to a sleeping woman on the bed. I look around I notice the beeping on the monitor, I take a step closer to the woman and I realize she's in a coma. The woman looks oddly familiar but I can't put my finger on it, I'm standing next to her when a young 30 something man walks into the room. The man has tears pouring down from his face as he gazes at the sleeping woman, suddenly he gets on his knees and cries louder "Why did this happen?! I should have never told you" he wails and I furrow my eyebrows tell the woman what? At this point he's holding the woman's hand and the sounds he's making almost sound un human. I suddenly realize he hasn't noticed my presence I try calling out to him but my voice comes out small and quiet. Why can't I talk? I move over to the side of the bed where the man is but he still doesn't notice me I decide to wave my hands in front of his face to get his attention but he doesn't notice me. I realize that I'm clearly invisible to him and that causes me to freak out, why can't he see me? The man suddenly jolts up and I can see his face clearly and my heart stops. It's my dad. I think I've only seen him in the one photo in my room the only photo I have of him for that matter, he gets up on his feet and takes his hands and presses them to the woman's chest. Suddenly a golden glow shines through his hands and the woman jolts up a bit but nothing happens "C'mon! come back to me!" he yells with tears streaming down his face.
He does this multiple times until I realize what he's trying to do. He's trying to heal the woman. I look at the man and he's crying even harder if that's possible, I look at the man and a realization hits me my dad had superpowers? But why aren't they working now? Why can't he heal the woman? My dad decides to stand up he jolts forward quickly and flips the desk in the room. My dad has super strength and speed to. Like me. He yells louder than I've ever heard in my life and his eyes turn a dark shade of red and within a flash he jumps out the window. I run to the window and I see him soar in the sky he can fly? Does that mean I can fly to? All the questions keep piling up and suddenly I can't breath. I go over to the sleeping woman and I take in her face her wrinkles are set and her cheekbones are similar to the shape I have, I'm looking at this woman up and down something about her rings a bell. I put my hand on her and a jolt of electricity hits me.
I take my hand away and grasp my hand "Fuck" I yell, I look at the woman and realization dawns on me again, the woman lying in the bed she's… Mami. I can't believe my eyes I don't remember the last time I saw my mom Abuela tells me stories about her but I never really remembered much about her just that she looks a lot like me. I collapse to the floor when I realize my mother is dying she lies in a coma in the hospital this must be how she died I'm about to witness my mom's death. Hot tears roll down my cheeks I place my head in my hands and I can no longer control myself, the tears are pouring down my face when suddenly a strong hand lifts my chin. I look up and I see her. She's beautiful. My mother is standing before me smiling "Mija" she starts and my eyes go wide "M-Mami?" she nods her head and gestures for me to stand up. "Mija do not cry for me" she says and I furrow my eyebrows I look towards the bed and I still see her lying there she must be having an out of body experience. I look up at her and she's smiling "Mami are you dead? Is this how you died?" I ask her, her smile turns into a sad one and nods her head "Yes Mija but I brought you here for a reason" she states and I nod my head for her to continue "Mija you are going to start to develop some very powerful abilities, you need to know that you're powers are meant for good and only good I've watched your father struggle for too long between good and bad I do not want the same fate for you" she explains and I nod my head in understanding "Dad does have superpowers?" I question and she nods "Yes and so do you it's normal for you're kind" she explains and a confused look takes over my face.
"What kind?" I ask and she smiles "You're a very special type of human Mija and so is your father, you both have outstanding abilities gifts from the gods" she explains and I can't take it anymore "Mami what am I!" I yell and she shakes her head "You're genetics were apart of an experiment you're father was in for the Military, the military developed a serum that enhances the human abilities with gifts" she starts and I nod my head "You're father was the test subject and he was the first super soldier, he was told the genes wouldn't be passed down to his children but clearly they were mistaken" she says gesturing to me "You're father began to develop super strength, speed, agility and soon he began to fly" I nod my head because that is exactly what's happening to me "But he began to develop one special gift the gift of healing and it was truly beautiful, he healed many people but it took a toll on him" she pauses for a brief second so she can compose herself because she looks like she's about to cry "But, soon you're father was being brought in by the wrong people he worked with them, started doing bad things and when you're father realized what he was doing he couldn't do it anymore so he stopped" she states and I nod "But the people got furious with him and decided to take it out on his family, they killed me Mija and that's how I ended up here but we knew it was coming so we sent you to live with you're grandparents" I can tell she's struggling a bit but I need to know more. "So they killed me and you're father was taken captive to work for them because he had nothing to live for anymore" I nod my head in understanding and complete shock I couldn't believe what I was hearing "But Mami why didn't his healing work on you?" I ask and she smiles "It doesn't work on me because we have a bond, your father and I were in love none of his powers work on me it's to prevent him from harming me" she states and I nod my head "The military designed it like this his powers don't work on me or you but even in directly you're father still managed to destroy our family" I can see the pain behind her eyes and the anger I want to hug her and tell her that I miss her but my thoughts are so jumbled I can't even function. I'm basically a freak? "Mija you need to listen carefully because we don't have much time" she says and I nod for her to continue "You are destined for great things Mija you're going to save a lot of people, your going to be a hero do not let yourself be poisoned by bad I can't watch that happen to you like it did you're father with great power comes great responsibility Mija" I nod my head but I'm more confused than ever "But Mami what am I going to do?" I ask and she smiles "Great things" I smile at her "You're powers are a gift use them well because one day soon the world is going to be in trouble and you are going to be its only hope" she says and I become incredibly nervous. "Mami I'm an 18 year old girl? What am I supposed to do?" she smiles again and shakes her head "You're no ordinary girl Mija, you're more special than you know" I smile at her "I miss you Mami but I don't know about this I-I'm scared" I tell her "it's okay that's normal you're father was scared to that's why he gave in to the bad side but you, you're different I know you are I can already tell your stronger you can do it Mija believe in yourself" I smile at her and nod if my mother says I'm destined for great things I plan on fulfilling her wishes "Yes Mami I promise I'll make you proud". She smiles at me but our gaze is broken by a loud door slam, 3 large men come into the room 2 are in black suits and one is in a green one he looks to be the leader "Grab her!" the one in the green suit yells. "Mami! No please don't go!" I cry and she smiles "I need to Mija remember you are destined for great things fulfill you're duties I love you" she says and her limp body is being pulled out of the hospital room and her vision disappears from in front of me "NO! Mami!" I cry and I can feel the anxiety in my chest.
I wake up with a jolt and I notice how heavily I'm sweating I feel my bed and I notice how wet it is from the sweat. I get off my bed and I look at that huge pool of water "Holy shit" I whisper, the dream I had it wasn't the re occurring one I've had for nearly a month it was my mom. Shit. I know what I am now, I'm obviously some type of mutant with my fathers genetics. Oh my god. My dad is still alive those men are just holding him captive I need to figure out who those men are and fast I need to save my father. I sit at my desk and my thoughts are frazzled, my mom said I was destined for great things but what? I know it has something to do with those men and my father I know is does and the quicker I find out who they are the faster I can stop the event that will shake the world to its core as my mother explained. I can't believe I'm destined to save the world? I need to do some serious research if I'm going to save the world people can't know who I really am. I take out a plain white piece of paper and I sketch the perfect costume it's blue and red with an 'S' in the middle I smile at my work and I realize this needs to be made and quickly. I plan on fulfilling my destiny for my mother, if I was given these gifts I'm going to use them to help others and avenge my mother's death. I put the drawing back in my drawer and slowly stand up my legs feel extremely heavy and my arms feel like lead. I walk slowly to the washroom and when I open the light I startle myself with my reflection I look. Hot? I jolt forward quickly and I notice my face is flawless and it's glowing? My hair is shinier and my eyes, my eyes changed color over night there still brown but it's more of a green-brown. My mother did not tell me this was going to happen. I look much different and I realize I can see perfectly without my glasses how is that possible? Realizing I can't take looking at myself any longer I quickly jump in the shower. I let the hot water soak on me a little longer than I should and I just breath in the affect the water has pouring down my body. I get out of the shower and I decide to actually curl my hair today since I actually have some impressing to do and my mind wanders back to Brittany. Brittany was the only thing I could think of until the whole 'I'm a superhero thing' happened and I can't wait to see her to feel her, yesterday was seriously one of the best days ever minus the whole killing 2 guys and severely injuring another 2. My thoughts are quickly changed back to last night. Shit what if someone found the bodies? I jolt up and out of the bathroom at super speed, I'm outside at this point I grab the newspaper and I realize if my Abuelo is up he's going to be really freaked out. I creep inside and I don't see anyone in sight "Thank God" I breath a sigh of relief, I decide to have some fun and race back up the stairs even faster. I could get used to this superhuman stuff besides having a tremendous amount of responsibility it's fun, when I get inside my room I sit back down at my desk I open the newspaper and I look at the headline. I breath in a sigh of relief thank god it's nothing to do with those thugs but it still catches my attention 'United Bank Robbed: 4th one this month' holy shit again? Well I think I found my new mission. I decide since I have been given these gifts for a reason I should start with these robberies and end them once and for all. I decide on reading into this a little more and I find out that all the banks robbed are owned by… Mr. J. Peirce? Brittany's dad. The police think there's a tie to him and the robberies someone with a hefty vendetta and I agree. All the robberies have the same trademark every time this robber robs one of Mr. Pierce's Banks he or she I don't know what yet leaves a giant 'L' marked in red felt on the safe which confuses me L? why an L? I want to look into it more but I check the time and I really need to get changed for school so I decide to pick this up tonight.
I decide on a cute skirt and top for school my hair flows nicely down my shoulders, I take a quick glance at myself in the mirror and I realize I look way too different so I put my glasses on just so I don't give anyone suspicions. Just as I'm about to walk out of my door I decide to try something, instead of going out my door I turn to my window. I take a deep breath "Okay Lopez you can do this just think 'fly' even if you don't its only a one story fall" I tell myself. I take a couple steps back and leap out the window expecting the ground to hit me I slowly open my eyes and I'm hovering "Holy shit!" I yell, this is awesome but I'm starting to jerk around a bit I need to learn to control so I steady myself and I shoot up even higher. Finally I get full control and I feel the wind beneath me start to pick up it's a soothing feeling and I love it I jolt forward and in about 10 seconds I'm hovering over my school. I look around to make sure no one can see me and I slowly plant myself on the ground but I fail miserably and I jolt back and fall on my ass "Fuck" I breath as I try to stand up again. I definitely need to practice more.
I get inside the school and I can already feel the eyes on me I give this one kid a scowl and he runs off I don't look that different do I? I get to my locker and open it I drop my bag inside when I realize I'm really early why did I come so early? I pull out my notebook from my locker and open it to find the drawing I made this morning. I suddenly get a great idea and I make a break for the sowing room, when I get there I have a solid 2 hours before school starts but no one is in there and just my luck the door is locked. I'm about to walk away when I realize I have superpowers? I grab the doorknob and turn it viciously I hear a bolt crack and the door opens. I step inside and I go straight for a machine to set up the thread I need spandex thread so I get up and search for it but then I realize the teacher keeps that one under her desk because it's really expensive I'm sure she wont mind be borrowing it. I grab the blue and red and set it up on the machine, I take out the drawing and I follow every detail I drew and by the time I'm done it looks great. When I was only 5 my Abuela taught me how to sow so it should look this great, I smile pleased with my work. With 20 minutes to spare I decide to tuck it under my shirt and make a dash for my locker, I get outside and I look around to make sure no one saw me leave the sowing room and no one did. I run back to my locker but I have to force myself to run at normal human speed, when I get to my locker I fling it open and stuff my suit in my bag.
I turn around and Brittany is next to me giving me a slight smirk and I never realized how much I missed her smirks until now. "Hey Lopez whatcha doin?" she asks and I see the sparkle in her eyes again which look like a much deeper blue this morning "Nothin blondy just getting my books ready how much did you enjoy yesterday?" I ask her with a wink and she rolls her eyes "A little too much I think" and I smile at her. "Are you busy after school?" she asks and I give her a smirk "Why you interested in doing something?" I ask her and she smiles "Maybe". She gives me a wink and I smile at her little antics when realization hits me, I can't hang out tonight I got all that research to do for the robbery. We stand there in silence for awhile and she's just smirking, wait I could totally ask Britt about her dad! "Lets hang out after school the Lima Bean?" I ask her and she nods "Sounds fun see you then Lopez". I send her a wink as she walks away. No correction. Sways away, I should feel bad because I'm using Brittany a little but I really do like her and I definitely want to be alone with her.
Today is definitely the worst day. Quinn is home sick and Kurt and Blaine are away at sectionals for glee club and I thought I was nerdy. I get out of Geography class at the end of the day and I can't wait to see Brittany, my mind is seriously all Brittany all the time and I don't want to change that. Ever since yesterday along with realizing I have superpowers Brittany is one of the only things on my mind I fantasize about kissing her, touching her, watching her perfect body. I can't believe after a day she's already got me day dreaming about her 24/7, I get to my locker and my suspicions are correct Brittany is waiting for me. She sends me a flirty smile and I wave "Someone looks awfully chipper today" she says and I roll my eyes "Well is it so hard to believe I'm excited for our date?" I question and I can't believe I said 'date' I couldn't catch myself before it came out and now Brittany is smiling even bigger which relives me a little. "Date huh? I didn't know we were going on a date?" she says with a wink and my cheeks flush crimson, "Uh- it doesn't have to be I mean you know I guess it would be cool but it doesn't have to be you know if your not into-" I start but she cuts me off "Easy San, I would love it to be a date" my smile grows 10 sizes and now I'm really excited.
We get to the Lima Bean in 10 minutes I get us a booth at the back that's a little secluded from the rest of the coffee shop but it's more intimate and I like it like that. I gesture for her to sit down across from me and she smiles "So Lopez tell me about yourself?" she asks and I become extremely nervous but I realize I don't have to tell her everything "well I'm an only child, I live with my grandparents because both my parents died in a car accident when I was 2 but it's really no big deal I don't remember them much" I tell her and her eyes widen "Oh San I'm so sorry" I shrug it off, truth be told I miss my parents a lot. I didn't like lying to Brittany about how my parents died well how my mom died my dad is still out there somewhere, I don't like being dishonest with her it hurts. "Its okay really it was 16 years ago but enough about the sad stuff tell me about yourself?" I ask her with a wink and she sends me a smirk "Well I'm an only child too" she starts and I smile at what we already have in common "I love my mom so much she's literally the best thing in my life and my dad is a complete asshole who I hate" she states like its no big deal, now its my turn to widen my eyes "Woah there Britt whats so bad bout your dad?" I ask her and she tenses up a bit "He's just an awful person he treats everyone around him like garbage and I'm so happy this robber is robbing all of his banks he deserves it" she says and I jolt forward a bit I didn't realize I was even getting info about the robberies yet she just brought them up. "Well that sucks I'm sorry Britt" I reach for her hand across the table and she lets me take it which causes me to smile "You know San I really like you, you understand me and I think our little banter is hot" she says and I smirk I knew it was hot. "I really like you too Britt I'm glad I made this a date" she laughs and gives my hand a squeeze, "I am too" she says and my smirk turns into a grin. I really do like her.
About 2 hours later I'm walking Britt home, she lives 3 blocks away from me so I figure it would be cool to walk her home you know like the date is always supposed to end. I get Britt to her door and we stand outside of it in silence waiting for the other to speak "I liked this San I really wanna do this again" she says and I laugh "I think were going to have to" I tell her with a wink and she nudges my shoulder. I look into her unique deep blue eyes and she stares at my now green-brown, her eyebrows furrow and I'm guessing she notices the color change "San I don't know if it's the glasses but you're eyes there-there green? They were brown yesterday?" she asks and I become nervous how do I explain that my eye color changed over night? "Contacts" I blurt and I inwardly slap myself because I'm wearing glasses "But you're wearing glasses?' she laughs and I shrug "Color contacts not prescription" I tell her and she just nods in understanding. I take in a sigh of relief and I'm back to staring at her beautiful blue eyes, she leans in a little and I really hope she's going to kiss me but our gaze is broken by the door flying open. We jolt away quickly when we see the 40 something man standing in the doorway "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt but Brittany you need to get inside, now" he says and I give him a narrow look, Brittany just nods her head and mouths an 'I'm sorry'. The man that I presume is Mr. pierce steps closer to me and sticks his hand out "Jared Pierce and who are you?" he asks and I get nervous "Santana Lopez Brittany's friend" I tell him his eyes almost shoot out of his head but he quickly shakes it off. "Nice to meet you Ms. Lopez I really think you should get going its quite late" he says and I nod my head "Yes sir" and with that he shuts the door leaving me in the night air.
I make it home in 2 seconds because when you have super speed why not use it? I get inside and I assume my Abuela is already asleep. I race up to my room and close my now fixed door, why did Mr. Pierce act so weird when I met him? It's like he realized something? I take my bag and run inside my closet to change into my freshly made super suit. It takes me longer than I thought but I get it on, I take a glance in the mirror it hugs my body perfectly and I can't help but think I look hot. I smile and check myself out a couple times I realize I still have my glasses on so I remove them and I can't believe how much different I look. I step out of my closet and go straight for my phone I have one new text but I don't bother reading it because I go for the police radio app instead. I listen intently waiting for something about the robbery to take place a robbery has happened 2 days in a row already so I doubt today will be any different. I listen for 10 minutes when I hear the radio go off "220 In progress at royal bank proceed with caution" that's it! I get to my window and I take a deep breath as I jump out. I'm hovering mid air trying to steady myself, once I steady myself I jolt towards the bank.
I get to the bank before the cops do I decide I should enter from the roof because it just seems logical. I jump up on the roof and I land with a thud. Smooth superwoman. I roll my eyes and I get ready to open the air vent I realize it's bolted shut but I quickly punch a hole big enough for my body to fit through. I love the super strength it's my favorite power so far, I slide down the air duct and this time I land with grace. I quickly look around as I get up from my crouching position its dead? Am I at the wrong bank? Suddenly I hear a loud bang and I jolt my head towards the safe. A tall… woman? Wearing all black latex is walking, no strutting out of the safe with a bag of money in her left hand, I quickly realize she's the robber? This tall thin woman? What the hell. I jolt forward at super speed and I step in front of her "Now where do you think you're going with that?" I ask her and I can see her smirk. A mask covers half of her face but something about her seems familiar? "Oh c'mon can't a woman get a little spending money?" she says and there's defiantly something I recognize in this woman but I can't put my finger on it. "Of course you can just not from other peoples money" I say with a smirk and I can see her rolling her deep blue eyes. Suddenly before I can look deeper into her eyes she jolts toward me but I quickly dodge it "Uh uh I don't think so" I say and she laughs. She swings her foot on the floor and knocks me down "Fuck" I yell and she's just laughing, she comes over top of me and sits on my hips I know I shouldn't be turned on but her perfect ass is sitting on my hips and something about her is just sexy but I shake my head at those thoughts because she is the enemy right now. "Oh honey you're a cutey but your also new at this so I'm not going to hurt you to bad" she says and I roll my eyes, her face comes really close to mine and I can feel her breath on my lips "Now be a good superwoman and let me go" she says while tugging at my suit where the 's' is imprinted. "Never" I whisper jolting my head forward and jerking my hips up sending her flying off of me, I quickly get up and I can feel the heat behind my eyes again I shoot my laser eyes at her but I can see her jolt away but I clip her arm "Fuck!" she yells and I can't help but smirk at her. The heat quickly disappears and I walk up to her on the floor I can hear my boots clacking as I reach her and I kneel down next to her "I'm sorry who was supposed to hurt who?" I ask her and I hear her groan "Ugh I didn't know you were some super freak" I laugh at her cause clearly I've won. I grab the bag of money from her hand and toss it back in the safe but not before I notice the large L painted on it. I kneel back down next to her and she's struggling a bit but suddenly she jolts straight up and pushes me back sending me flying against the wall "You were saying?" she asks in a flirty tone as she presses herself against me and shoves me harder into the wall. I could easily break her grip but there's something when I look into her eyes. I don't want to hurt her I can't? I don't know why I just can't. "You know you really are cute" she states and I roll my eyes "Yeah you're not so bad yourself" I tell her in an equally flirty voice. I'm looking back into her blue eyes and something about them seems so familiar! Our gaze is broken by the sound of sirens and we snap our heads to the door "Well looks like our time together is over" she says as she lets go of me and slowly starts walking away "Wait! Who are you?" I ask her and she smirks "Who are you?" she asks right back and now its my turn to smirk, "Don't worry hun I'm sure I'll see you're sexy ass again but why don't I give you a little something to remember me bye" she says as she turns back around. She grabs my face and plants a kiss to my cheek lingering her lips a little longer than she should and something about this is really familiar. I feel her breath on my ear as she leans in to whisper "Were on the same team superwoman I just take a different approach" she says with edge and I shake my head "Were nothing alike" she just laughs "You wait" is all she says and with that she's gone. I'm left sitting in the bank until I realize I need to get out of there before the cops catch me, I jolt through the roof and I'm left completely confused what did that woman mean when she said you wait? Her words echo through my head and I can't shake this feeling that I know her. When I get home I creep through the window and go straight for the mirror, my face is literally burning since she kissed me and I need to see my face to make sure it's okay. When I get to the mirror I tilt my face a little but I realize there's nothing there except for a red lipstick print. It's a deep shade of red and its left my skin burning? How? Who was that woman? I don't know much but what I do know is that along with my very long list of duties I need to know her. Something about her was so familiar I need to know her and I'll do anything to figure it out.
