When Ana finally turned 18, she immediately ran to the foster home her niece was living for the last 4 weeks, and took custody of her

Ana signed her up for school, and walked with her to the school yard and gave her the biggest hug and kiss that a guardian could give their child.

She contacted the school before hand about any possible after school programs available, and fortunately there was one that lasted from after school to 8.

So Ana signed Sonia up, for the cost of $25 a month.

After School, Ana went to the two jobs she worked and after, picked up Sonia at 7:30.

This schedule lasted until Sonia was 13, in which she could stay home by herself without causing too much chaos.

During those 7 years leading up to Sonia turning 13, she realized she was different. The revelation occurred when Sonia was 8 and during recess, the kids were running around the play yard. Sonia and her friend Taymar were playing with dolls when there was a shout of "look out!" and a ball came hurling at them at an injuring speed.

The ball never touched the two girls as there was a black mass which blocked the ball from touching them, the ball dropped and the black mass recited back to her body

Taymar looked at Sonia in shock, while said child had the same look in her face.

"What happened?" asked a councilor looking at the ball that was slightly damaged.

"Sonia and I were playing when the ball almost hit us, but we were lucky 'cuz we didn't get hit since it was only a bit further from Sonia." Taymar said.

The councilor stopped the kick-ball playing kids for that day, and took everyone inside.

From that day on, Taymar became Sonia's best friend and the first one to learn about her abilities.

When Ana found out about Sonia's powers, she told her to never use them in public.

However when Sonia was 14 she discovered she could teleport.

This discovery occured when Sonia was playing with her matter and was picking things up and catching them, excepts when she almost dropped Taymar's mother's expensive vase. Since she was too far, she still attempted and in the blink of an eye she caught up to the vase and caught up.

So she showed Taymar.

She then later got into trouble with Ana, who begged Taymar not to tell anyone. But Taymar knew better and reassured the older Arden that Sonia's secret was safe with her.

Sonia and Taymar would grow up with a relationship akin to sisterhood.

When Sonia was 15, her sister and herself stayed at Taymar's house that evening for a family dinner and Ana was dating Taymar's older brother, Nathan.

"Breaking News." The TV announced catching the attention of Taymar's family members and the two Arden women. "Stark Industries CEO, Tony Stark, is reported missing after family member, Obadiah Stane, noticed he wasn't on the plane that was suppose to take him back to New York. Stark was last seen in Afghanistan testing a new missile which, according to reliable sources, was a success. In other news, author LadyDab got a cat and named it Hamilton. According to her instagram..." The people in the Jame's household stopped paying attention after that.

"Poor man." Said Taymar's mother, Irene. "It's such a shame that he went missing, the Stark industries were going great. Hopefully nothing will change."

"I'm pretty sure your job there as H.R. is still safe honey." Said Taymar's father, Daniel.

Irene smiled and lovingly kissed Daniel.

Nathan looked at Ana the same way his dad looked at his mom, but Ana was looking at Sonia who was intently looking at the screen in deep thought.

Later that night, after the Arden women said goodbye to the James family, they walked a few blocks down and entered their apartment building.

"Hey Ana." Sonia called to her aunt.

"Yes Barba." Answered Ana, using her middle name. She was the only one allowed to do so.

"Whose Tony Stark?" She asked. "I mean I know he owns Stark Industries 'cause our school went there for a field trip, but who exactly is he?" Sonia wondered, hoping her guardian had an answer.

"He's just some playboy with alot of money, Sonia, why are you asking?"

"I don't know there's just something about him."

Ana gained a teasing smirk, "Aww, don't tell me wittle Sonia is in wove with Tony Stawk." She said going into baby talk.

"Eww, no, that's gross the dude could be my dad, God no, no,no,no. Just no." Said she shuddering at the thought.

Ana laughed and rapped her arm around the girl as they entered their apartment room.

Four years later, when Ana is 19, for her birthday the James family and Ana take her to New York to spend time in Daniel James's summer house.


I don't know if that was a cliffhanger, but yeah I ended here because i just wanted y'alls to get the feel of how Sonia grew up, idk if i did a good job but in the next chapter you'll get a better understanding of her personality.

How did y'all feel about the first chapter btw.

Also, Taymar will not be that cliche best friend that either A) doesn't do much within the story B) is useless or C) falls for the main character.

Not that I have anything against it, it's just not cruciel for the story tho.

Any thoughts on the story so far?

Thanks for reading.
