Labor and Delivery, New York Hospital, Queens

Writhing in pain, tossing and turning and holding on to her bed sheets from the sheer pain. Maria Flordeliza was in the middle of giving birth in a delivery room in the delivery/ labor unit inside of New York Hospital in the Borough of Queens.

The doctor sat in front of Maria's spread legs along side with a nurse and Maria's husband, Paulo Flordeliza who chose to stand and wait for his child to come into the world.

"C'mon Misses Floreliza, you have to push! The baby's is almost out, just a little further." The Doctor said, encouraging her to push past the pain.

Ms. Flordeliza screamed and cried out in pain, each of her cries caused her to cry more and more tears. She clenched her teeth, grunted and moaned out loudly. Maria yelled at Paulo that it burned, it burned really bad for her. Paulo went over to her side and gripped her hand and waited and anticipated for the moment he would become a father. He did not have to wait long, seeing his wife sit up and hearing his wife let out one powerful cry of pain and then falling back on the bed and pillow, Paulo saw his baby daughter get pulled out and get raised up into the air by the doctor.

Maria cried tears of happiness and of relief, Paulo looked on as he saw the umbilical cord being cut and watched the nurse and doctor go over and inspect his baby. He asked what they were looking for on his daughter, to which the doctor turned around and answered,

"Nothing, we just want to make sure there are no external signs of damage or injury to the baby."

The Nurse handed Maria's baby to her wrapped in a yellow blanket, Paulo watched the Doctor do the sign of the cross and saw him walk out of the delivery room. What was up with that? No congratulation? No good luck? It didn't matter, Paulo just thanked god for the safety of his wife and new life who made him a father and his wife a mother. Inside, he thanked Adlaw, a Filipino Diwata, or deity. Who was the God of The Sun.

2, January 1994

Maria and Paulo walked into their terrace house in Queens after spending an extra week in the hospital after Mara gave birth. Their first child was called Louise Jenna Flordeliz. The Nickname "Lulu" would come much later. Right now, Paulo and Maria gave their week old daughter some presents that they placed in her crib. It was kind of a late Christmas treat. One particular gift that Paulo gave his daughter was a headscarf that was made of pure gold fabric.

It glittered from the light of their bedroom, Maria watched her husband fold up the golden headscarf and tuck it under Louise. While Paulo smiled at his daughter, Maria crossed her arms and stared at Paulo with slight anger and concern.

"Paulo, where did you get that Scarf."

"It was handed down to me by my Father, who received it from his own father, and on and on. It's said to have belonged to Adlaw, an ancient Diwata. The God of The Sun, it will protect her and keep her safe. As long as the sun shines and rises up each morning, Louise will always have someone looking out after her."

"Paulo! I don't want you brining in the devil into our house. Take that scarf out from under her! We're Christians now, I don't want demons troubling Louise." Maria tried to grab the scarf that was tucked under her daughter, but Paulo stepped in front of her and argued with his wife.

Their arguing words were silenced when a golden light emanated from under Louise, this golden light encapsulated her in a golden like egg shell which released rays of sunlight. The Sunlight Shell cracked and turned into broken shells which became golden glitters that faded away. Paulo lifted up his daughter who began to cry, but above her head was a faint ethereal golden tiara that appeared and disappeared.

Woodside Queens

Laughing and running with her friends to one house after standing outside of a previous one, A six year old Louise was trick or treating with some of her elementary school friends who were all girls. Her father looked on from the sidewalk, Louise was dressed in a black and gold formal off shoulder court dress that wasn't too fancy or short of it. She had her hair done and was the star and the most adored when homeowners opened up their doors and viewed her in the center of the group of young girls.

When she was asked where or who gave her that dress by her own parents, Louise could only reply was that it was given to her by the man sitting inside the Sun. Paulo wasn't totally surprised, but Maria was a little scared and concerned that a being completely hidden to her and her husband was so close to their daughter. As a devout Christian, she prayed to her own god to look out after Louise.

"Bye Audrey, Natalie, Diana, Rita and Emily. See you all tomorrow at school, k…see ya." Louise told her group of friends. She walked back into her home with her father and sat at the living room table where she opened up her bag of candies and sweets and started to eat them.

"Hey dad, can I tell you something."

"Sure louise, but don't you wanna tell mama first?"

"No, she won't understand it like you would. It's about a man, a tall man that looks like you, and has more muscles."

"Ohh?…sure sounds like me when I was younger, and what about this tall man with muscles. What does he wear, oh please tell me he didn't appear to you naked, please anything but that."

"No," she giggled, "he had black pants, no shoes. I think he had golden necklaces around his neck, they hanged down to his stomach. His hands were on fire and he had a ring of fire around his head. He told me that he saw my future and told me I had tto roads I could walk on. One made of sand and the other made of rocks. And he called me Lulu…not Louise, what does it mean papa."

"Two roads? One made of sand and the other of rock, I think the man who appeared to you was your guardian deity Lou…I mean Lulu. He's always going to be watching over you, and looking out for your well being. The thing he meant about two roads, try to stick to the one made of sand instead of the one made of up of only rocks."

"Why?" Curious Lulu asked her father, "Well because walking on rocks is uncomfortable and will cut your cute little feet. Choose to walk on soft warm Sand, ok baby."

"Ok Papa."

Science, Woodside Elementary School

Instead of learning about plants, Lulu's teacher brought in jars of earth worms, caterpillars and butterflies to class. She wanted to teach her children about the creatures who call the earth home and the creatures, despite being soft and squishy, who turn into beautiful adults like they soon will be.

"Alright class, I'm gonna have to ask you all to leave the animals in their jars, and I want all of you to remain in your seats. I'll be right back ok."

As her teacher instructed, Lulu remained seated on her chair along with her friends who shared a round table with her.

"Lulu no! Teacher said to leave the worms inside the jars!" said Diana, one of her friends.

"I just want to see what it feels like on my hand, that's all." Lulu's friends giggled and looked around their classroom, making sure no one see's Lulu pulling worms out of the jar and breaking teacher's rule.

Watching lulu pull earthworms out of her table's Jar, two girls who did not like Lulu and her friends began to open up their jars of worms and caterpillars and piled them on their hands. They got out of their seats and went over to Lulu whose back was turned away from the rest of the class. The two girls opened up the back of her white shirt and dropped the worms and caterpillars.

Lulu jumped out of her seat and hopped all around, wiggling her shirt by the hem of it to get the worms out. The two girls who committed this act against her laughed at Lulu and so did the whole class, except for her own friends. Lulu was at first mad, but began to cry, one of her friends, Audrey and Natalie got out of their seats and began to fight with the other two mean girls.

Fists flew and hands grabbed onto locks of hair, Lulu tried to stop them from fighting but when one of the means girls grabbed a jar of butterflies and broke it over one of her friend's head. Something inside of her snapped, Lulu grabbed the mean girls by their shirts and flung them into the blackboard. She closed her right eye and left her left eye opened. Her left eye glowed a golden color and lit small fires on the means girls shirts. The kids all screamed and tried to run out of the classroom, the sprinklers activated and put out the fire before the flames could do more damage to the means girls.


Flordeliza Residence, Woodside Queens

2:30 [Evening]

Back home, Lulu sat in her living room couch while detectives from the NYPD spoke to her mother and father, they were there because of what happened at school earlier, Lulu sat with her legs positioned straightforward, her hands on her knees and her head hanging low. One of the detectives was a Filipino American whose English and Filipino were very fluent, truth was Lulu's parents felt more comfortable talking to the Filipino- American than to the other more taller and more "brolic" looking white American detective.

Lulu who knew just as much Filipino as her parents, she heard the conversation going on in the kitchen. First she heard her parents talking, mainly her father.

"I'm telling you she wasn't responsible for what happened at school, from what her friends told me those two girls were bullies to everyone, including to my daughter. As for how they caught on fire, I don't have any idea. I feel sorry for them but I'm more relieved my daughter is ok."

It was then that Detective Salazar began to speak to Paulo in only Filipino, he began to ask him questions about the old deities of their native homeland and if he believed in any of them. Paulo froze up a bit, Maria jumped into the limelight to help out her husband.

"We're a Christian Family Detective Salazar! My mother and father were and my grandparents before them. My husband has renounced worshiping false gods."

Detective Salazar told his partner to wait for him in the car, detective Millard walked out of the Flordelizo home. It was here when Detective Salazar started to talk about Their Native Gods.

"Ok Paulo and Maria, I'm gonna be serious with you two. There have been a string of reports of kids being burned, some ending up buried in the ground or even dying of drowning when they were nowhere near any large body of water. The NYPD has been visited by men claiming to be from the Government who are interested in these rare cases of people burning when no flammable substance was near them, explosions going off in New Jersey. There are kids and teenagers going missing all over major cities, adults also."

"What are you saying Detective?" Maria asked.

"I'm saying, it's probably best for your whole family to go back to the Philippines and never return to the United States. I know that Louise was responsible for what happened to those girls. Human beings are evolving Mr. and Mrs. Flordelizo, whether given to them, inheriting it or opening up a locked door within themselves - humans are moving up the evolutionary ladder and are gaining powers. The governments, major ones like the American, Russian, Chinese and British I believe are collecting these humans being and hoarding them for their own interests."

"Alright Detective I heard enough! Please leave my home right now!" Paulo's patience was rapidly wearing thin.

"Humans were not satisfied with Nuclear weapons, Biological and Chemical Weapons. But with babies being born everyday all around the world, chances are that now every government in the world will have their own "Deterrents" and weapons of mass destruction and death within 10 yrs."

Paulo had it up to here with the detective and was going to push him out of his home by force, but Maria had one more question for the detective.

"Detective Salazar…do you have children?"

"I…did…then "they" took them. My boy was only 12 when he could turn himself into water and manipulate it. My girl who was only 8 could command animals, and change herself to be any animal she wanted. Leave this Country…please, that's all I can tell you. The Philippines is not interested in keeping these evolved humans in containers, but instead has started building towns where they can live amongst their own kind. Goodbye Mr. and Mrs. Flordelizo, I hope you take my advice."


2000 - 2006

Flordelizo Residence, Woodside Queens

With absolutely no school accepting Lulu in the entire city thanks to reports of what she may have done, Lulu's parents turned to Home schooling. Maria and Paulo chose to stay in NYC and give their daughter a better life, by choosing to ignore what the detective told them last year, it's been raining more and more in the city of New York.

Lulu for the most part, remained quiet, reserved and spoke to herself more and more when alone in her bedroom. She did that so much that her parents had accepted that it was an effect of all her friends being kept away from her by their own parents. They tried to take her to a therapist to talk about what was wrong with her and if there was anything troubling her, but the therapist complained of feeling uneasy or uncomfortable around their daughter. It wasn't that she was displaying any powers, it was just the atmosphere that surrounded her which was the problem.

Her therapist wasn't the only one to feel uncomfortable around her. When Lulu turned seven years old, She went through three different home school teachers before finally her own parents had to take on the roles of teachers. When the new year came around, Lulu appeared to be getting better, laughing, smiling and talking less and less with herself. She even made new friends her age whenever she went outside with her mother who went to buy groceries or took her to the park to play with them.

Things appeared to be turning around for the better, that is until one September morning everything changed when Lulu was awoken by her mother and father. She looked out her window and saw smoke, lots of it in the sky. On the television she saw them, The Towers were burning. Lulu saw her mother crying, and her father trying to comfort her. Lulu didn't understand why her mother was crying, except that whatever had happened; it was really bad.

Words on certain news channels were chock filled with phrases like "Under Attack" "Terrorist Attack" and "Declaration of War" Lulu shocked her parents when a faint halo surrounded her entire head and she fell on the floor, stiff as a board. Her father took her to her bed and looked after her.

Lulu's Soul

Sleeping on a white bed, located in a white circular room, much like that of a Rotunda. Lulu awoke to see that same muscle man sitting beside her bed. "My Lady, it's so good to see you again."

"Who are you?…Where am I?"

"We are inside of your Soul my Lady. I have foreseen a dark moment in your life that will be arriving shortly, and I know you are young, but I need to begin training you in order so you can protect yourself. I will not always be available to help you unless you have a clear understanding of you powers, so please bear with me while I train you. First start by focusing all of your energy in your hands and feet."


September 19, 2006

Years went by and Lulu was growing up to be an exceptionally powerful Pyromancer who learned more than a few arts from her guardian deity Adlaw. Apart from her powers maturing along the years, she became very agile and acrobatic as she practiced on how to fight based on what Adlaw told her on what kind of fighting style she needed to practice. Which was a lot of kicking, punching and jumping around like some kind of monkey.

Her mother and father came to become accustomed to see Lulu lighting her hands on fire, or putting on a show for them like breathing fire or juggling balls of fire. Lulu made sure to control the gas and heat which she combined with her natural energy to make fire, she kept it at a low temperature so as to make sure she didn't set her home on fire by accident.

One day while her father was at work and her mother was off shopping, Lulu was watching cartoons on her television in the living room. She switched the channels looking for something else to laugh at or make the day go by quicker. She switched from sponge bob on Nick and Adventure time on CN. For today, Adventure Time won out.

Knock, Knock, Knock

Lulu was startled from the loud knocks at her home's front door, she dropped her remote control and went over to answer the door. But before she opened up the door, she switched from normal vision to infrared vision to allow her to view who was outside of her door. She saw two people, one man and one woman in business suits. She figured it must have been people from the church, or a couple passing out flyers for some outside event.

She grabbed the door knob turned it and opened the door, not knowing that when she did, her entire life would change.

The man in the blue and white business suit, smiled at Lulu and asked her, "Hello Ms. Flordeliz, are your parents home?"

"No….Goodbye." Lulu closed her front door, but the woman in the black business suit pushed opened the door with great force. Lulu jumped back and ignited her hands on fire.

The business suits these two Caucasian people were wearing began to change into thick space looking battle suits. Both of their suits had black thick armor and padding on them, they had shoulder, side, Front and Back platings. Neck guards and helmets that came out of their suits as a Hologram that surrounded their heads then became solid and offered extreme protection.

"With no parents present, we wont have to put them down. Louise-"

"My name is Lulu!"

"Lulu…come with us, you have been classified as a Level 1 Threat to this City and the Government, you can choose to come with us or you can try to resist. If we were you, we would choose not to put up a fight."

"Who are you people."

The female agent turned her head at her male partner, he chose to answer Lulu's question.

"Since you are about to be captured and restrained, we might as well tell you. We are enforcers on an Agency free from transparency and regulation. We work for The Real American Government, the one hidden in the Shadows of each branch of the Federal government and in Wall St. We write and pass laws, we run the military and special forces and we are the true interpreters of the Constitution. We are C.O.S.M.I.C"

"Containment Of Suspicious Meta-Humans of International Concern." The female agent expanded on the Acronym for her partner.

"Get out of MY HOUSE!" Lulu shot a steam of fire at both Cosmic agents, the agents appeared to flicker moments before being struck by the rushing flames. Lulu saw her front door burning, but the agents weren't there. Lulu looked around her home and heard a clicking noise above her, she looked up and saw the agents pointing their padded gloves at her.

"Water Jets!" they said together, Lulu flipped backwards and avoided being sprayed with a fast jet of water that shot out of the center of the agent's gloves.

Lulu squatted when she landed back on her feet, placed both of her hands on the ground and summoned a large skeletal fiery han that she controlled with her natural elemental energy. The skeletal hand was fast, extremely fast. It was fast enough to grab the female agent before she could speed away, when the agent was in her grasp, Lulu changed the burning skeletal hand into lava which dripped on her floor. Also dripping on the floor with lava was the melted remains of the human female agent.

The male agent saw the lava hand disappear and watched his partner's bloody melted body slowly swirl in a pool of blood, lava and fire. The glowing lenses of his helmet glowed brighter, a bright red; a reaction from growing anger.

"You had your chance to come with us without incident and my patience has run dry little girl!" The agent pulled out a grenade that he threw into the pool of lava that turned it into snow.

He fell back down and went walking over to grab Lulu, she wasn't about to give up without a fight. Most of her home was already on fire and filling up with smoke, she concentrated enough and casted a Fire Art. "Fire Art! Rampage of Dragons!"

Lulu held out her right open palm and held it up by the wrist with her left hand, a blast of Roars followed as fiery dragon heads flew towards the agents who took each blast head on. His armor began to release and cover itself in frost and Mist which negated the blazing temperatures of Lulu's Art. 10, 20 and 30 dragons blasted into the agents on all parts of his padded suit.

But that was it for arts for Lulu, she had exhausted herself to the point that she fell on her knees. She could hear the sounds of the firefighter sirens in the distance. The agent grabbed her by her arms and threw her left and right against the walls of her crumbling home. She crashed and created holes in the walls each time the agent tossed her around.

"You don't think we came prepared!? My battle suit is suited for battle and is equipped with cooling gel and quick Auto temperature regulated padding and armor. My partner's death was unfortunate but not in vain…you're coming with me!"

Before the agent could grab Lulu, an arm apparently made out of light shot out of Lulu's stomach and entered the agent's chest where moments after began to scream and melt into a bloody mess before Lulu. Lulu closed her eyes and covered her ears so she wouldn't hear his cries of agony and fear. When the firefighters came, they came accompanied with several police squad cars. The firefighters plugged their water hoses into the water hydrants outside on the sidewalk and sprayed high pressure water into the burning home.

When the flames were gone or dying out, Firefighters ran into the home and found Lulu lying down on the floor, unconscious and the melted remains of the agents who they did not immediately think of them as agents, just some random people who were in the home probably trying to rescue Lulu.


[Hours Later]

Sitting alone in an interrogation room, Lulu was sitting on an old wooden chair with handcuffs on. Her hands were behind her back, she had no real expression on her face. Just eyes that looked into the desk with emptiness. The room she was in had graffiti on all walls. Her mother and father were in the waiting area with other people from all social class backgrounds. Poor, the middle class and the few rich.

"I knew it, I knew it…we should have listened to Detective's Salazar's advice. But you wanted to stay here!" Maria said out loud.

"Maria…shhh, keep your voice down please. I didn't want to move her to the Philippines because she wasn't showing signs of loss of control, in fact she learned to control her powers days after the towers were attacked."

"You son of a bitch, the detective told us directly that the government would be going after my daughter because of what she was. She's going to be taken away and It's All Your Fault! Why Did You Have to Giver her That Damn Scarf in The First Place!"

Maria began to fight with her husband, which got surrounding security guards involved. They pulled the couple apart and yelled at them that if they fight again, they were going to be detained for disturbing the peace. While Lulu's parents tried to settle down, a couple of cops accompanied two "Suits" who were wearing shades. They walked into a hallway that lead into the interrogation rooms.

Maria worried that they were here for her daughter, she feared that idea so much she pushed the cop standing next to her just to get to her daughter, but as she got closer, an enormous explosion rocked the precinct. Smoke and debris flew out of he hallways, the unexpected blast sent criminals and suspects alike running out of their rooms and out of the precinct. Every criminal took this chance to cease their freedom. Maria was knocked down to her feet and saw a gaping hole in the roof of the police precinct. Floating further and further up into the smoke filled sky was her daughter, Lulu.

Paulo joined Maria when he caught up to her and watched as his daughter blew them a kiss, she teleported away in a way like sand is blown off a clean white table. Maria cried and weakly beat the chest of her husband, who had tears streaming down his cheeks also.


2006 - 20012

The Midwest, Michigan

Riding in a van with four other guys around their twenties, Lulu headed wherever her path lead her to and wherever these boys were heading to. She remembers exactly how she got to this point, after leaving New York City when more agents tried to restrain her and take her away with them while she was in the precinct. She melted the cuffs binding her hands together, filled the room she was in with flammable gas and snapped her fingers to start a spark which ended up in an explosion that killed cops, COSMIC Agents and blew a hole in the precinct.

After that, she traveled to Pennsylvania by flying using jet propulsion where she would sleep in parks and in dumpsters. It wasn't until a garbage man nicknamed Tuna found her with his partner. At first he offered to take her into his home, Lulu accepted and for the most part enjoyed her new adopted family. But one night while Lulu was alone with her adoptive father, Tuna came into her room while she was brushing her hair in front of her mirror. He began to feel her shoulders, run his hands in her black hair and went further from there.

Such an action got the wrath from Adlaw who saw it fit to burn Tuna to death. When the rest of his family came back, they returned to smoldering remains of what used to be their home. Their jewelry, cash and other expensive items were all missing. Whenever the police showed up to a crime scene relating to a burned house or unexpected fires, Cosmic Agents were always nearby. A large rise in family homes catching fire began in the Pennsylvania suburbs after the "Tuna Home" mystery.

Her next stop would be a rich family's home in Ohio, which followed a similar path like the one in the Tuna home. Except instead of the father being the one trying to put the moves on the young Lulu, it would be the son who found her attractive but who was also four years older than her. Each time, homes would go up in flames and expensive and valuable pieces of items would end up missing. Cosmic agents closed in on each case only to be disappointed at Lulu's quick escapes.


Abandoned Mansion

After arriving to their location, Lulu is lead inside of an old dilapidated mansion which has seen better days, one boy carried Lulu with her legs wrapped around him and his hands holding her up by her butt. She didn't look the slightest bit worried or scared, she had a very non-chalant look to her face. She just went along with what the boys wanted from her, and it was only one thing.

"Yo matt, this place is garbage. How the hell are we supposed to get our freak on with Cute little Lulu here!?"

"Jeremy…you wanna shut the fuck up and just follow us, there are some ladders here that lead up to the bedrooms. And I'm getting first dibs on Lulu, not you. I found her sleeping behind a 7/11 first." said the leader of the small gang.

Jeremy turned Lulu around so she was wrapped tightly around his back, Lulu remained quiet and unphased on what was about to happen to her. Upon reaching the second floor of the mansion, they took her to a nearby bedroom where Jeremy laid her down and began to remove his clothes along with the other boys who followed his lead.

Matt, the leader of the gang removed her old dirty green jeans and spread her legs, before going in, Lulu spoke a few words "Heat Art…Internal Demise."

"What did she just say? Something about Internal something, something?" said jeff, another boy who was part of their small gang.

"Whatever man, let's remove these pan…holy crap guys, anyone else feel…hot?" the boys looked at Matt and then felt what their leader wondered about.

"OH SHIT EVERYBODY! LOOK AT GEORGE!" Shouted Jeff, their fourth buddy was melting before their very eyes. First his face melted off, then the muscles and eyes, leaving empty eye sockets and a bloody trail of skin and muscle.

"AAHHHH!"

"SOMEBODY HEELLPPP!…"

No matter how much the boys shouted, they could not stop their bodies from melting. One by one the screams stopped when finally… everything went back to being silent and mute. Lulu placed her jeans back on, placed her hands on matt, the driver of the van and absorbed his knowledge on how to drive. She teleported outside of the mansion and grabbed the boys bag from the vans and checked them. Belts, clothes, shoes and some food and drinks were in there.

"How long Adlaw, how long will I have to keep doing this. I just want to go home, I want to sleep next to my mother, play games with my father…I just want to-"

"Lulu, I have foreseen that you will one day be able to go back home. How exactly is still partially hidden from me, you have to find The Boy Crowned with Creation, and from there…you will be reunited with your parents. Have a little faith in me Lulu."

"Ok Adlaw."


2007

In an act that mirrored her many past outcomes, Lulu was taken into a home of a very patriotic family when she turned 14. She developed a good relationship with most of the family members of the house, but her relationship went further with the son of the family, an interesting boy named Logan Reese. They kept their "intimacy" a secret from the rest of his family, but on one stormy night Logan's mother came into his room to see if his lights were working.

Turning on the lights, she was presented with a sight she was not ready for. Mrs. Logan grabbed Lulu and forced her to dress herself and yelled at her to leave their home, anger and resentment took over Lulu as she began to set the home on fire and killing Logan's family members. She spared Logan for the great love she had for him, but what she did not see was that Logan had a hidden power that came out of him when he viewed the burning charred bodies of his family members.

Logan grabbed a large American flag lying down on the ground, tied two ends around his neck and wore It like a cape. Lulu saw that his left iris had The American flag design replace his natural eye color. In his Right Iris he had The American Seal replace his natural eye color as well. Forming around him was a fiery ghostly aura whose design was that of the American flag.

For the first time, Lulu felt truly threatened and feared for her life. The soot collecting on her face was where her nickname was born, "Lulu…la Maria Morena…I'm gonna give you what you never game my family…a ten second head start!"

"Logan…I'm sorry-"

"Ten…"

"Logan Please! I didn't meant to do it-"

"Eight…Seven…"

Lulu knew she was on the losing end. She blew a kiss at Logan and teleported away, Logan never chased after her, instead he chose to stay near his home where he told firefighters, police officers and Cosmic agents who he did not know were part of a shadow agency of La Maria Morena. From there on, Cosmic Agents referred to Lulu as "La Maria Morena," or The Dark Skinned Maria.


2009

Nebraska, Corn Fields

Traveling alone in the back of someone's pick up tuck she got in while she was in Ohio, Lulu traveled through Indiana, Illinois and then to Iowa. She settled in Iowa for the rest of 2008, stealing food from supermarkets, clothes for clothing stores, robbing jewelry stores and sticking up gang members for their money. Dangers from guns, knives and blunt trauma ceased to exist for her as she could just change her physical body into either fire or lava to escape such dangers.

The new year for her meant leaving Iowa for fear of being caught by Cosmic Agents, she stared up at the night sky looking at each star that never seemed to move. She jumped off the back of the truck when she spotted a heat signature from a far in some cornfields. She dusted herself off and began walking through thick rows of corn. She could hear music playing, the sound of laughter, gossip and banging metal.

Coming out of the rows of corn smacking into her face here and there, she came into a round open field with no cornstalks but with motorcycles, Pick up Trucks and Sports cars lining the edge of the wide open circular area. There was a bonfire in the center which Lulu saw a group of people around it. These people were of all ages, color and backgrounds. A couple of guys spotted Lulu slowly approaching the bonfire.

"HeyHEY! Who are You!" screamed out a dark haired boy, he charged after Lulu ready to strike her.

Lulu shifted from normal skin to Lava Skin, The boy punched her and sent her flying back into the cornfield. Some lave got on his hand and arm, but fell right off. It left no burn marks on his skin, and no flesh melted.

"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Carlos…Carlos Garcia, she's one of us!"

"Yeah I kind of figured that Jerome, look she's coming back." replied Carlos.

Lulu came back walking after being sent flying into the cornfield from such a powerful punch, Lulu cracked her shoulder back into place and prepared to attack Carlos. Any further fight was stopped by Jerome Clarke who rushed between those two using super speed.

"STOP!…Stop right there missy. We're all friends here, we're all outcasts, exiles, loners and products of a Changing world and global dynamic that is coming to an end. Please, join us, we're having steaks and fries."

Lulu was hungry and she wasn't in any mood to fight people who were apparently super like her. "Ok" she answered without any hesitation.

"Well let me introduce myself to you, my name is Jerome Clarke, and if you can't tell by my accent already, I am of English descent. That person whose fist crashed into your shoulder, his name is Carlos Garcia. All of us here are Meta-humans, humans with powers. I am a master at wind control and generation, I have super speed and strength as second abilities. Carlos here has near invulnerability, super strength and, guess…"

"What?" lulu asked.

"He's a Hellhound, he can change into a five foot black Rottweiler which grants him fire abilities. Which explains why your lava body had no effect on him. What you stumbled upon here was a yearly meeting we call The Night Gathering where all us "baddies" can exchange items, loan money, food and clothes to each other. And, this is my favorite reason…to get down and freak with the opposite sex. And we make sure to hold this yearly event in a new place, can't have those agents snooping around the same spot.

Lulu ate her fries and one heck of a steak really quickly, she burped and looked around the field. She saw girls and women kissing boys and men and even some boys kissing boys and girls kissing girls.

"Looks like both sexes prefer to get down with the same sex." Lulu shared while observing the area.

Spending the Night training with Carlos Garcia, Lulu found comfort in Carlos and hearing about his life story, despite having the powers of a Hellhound who saved him when he died after he was born; he was still a devout Catholic to this day. Lulu spent the night with Carlos in a tent he carried rolled up with him. She placed him and Jerome down as contacts in a cell phone she had bought in her travels. A few other people to mention were Nevel Amadeus Papperman, Luna Lovegood, Kel Kimble and a woman named Leah Clearwater.

When dawn broke over the Nebraska horizon, Lulu said goodbye to her new friends and acquaintances. She marched on into Wyoming where she would live in several different hotels for three years.


2013

Highland Park, Havre MT

Her latest destination took her to Helena Montana where she stuck up one jewelry store before making off with her loot and taking shelter in a northern town called Havre, she rested in Highland park where she counted her stolen jewelry pieces. However, agents from both the Cosmic and Agency from the D.C branch of the government were on to her. Tracking her using a heat tracking device, they were on to her since she arrived in Wyoming.

Lulu spotted a black imperial car pulling in and parking close to her, three men and one woman came out. Two were Cosmic Agents, wearing dark colored suits. Two were part of a DC Branch that were more transparent and answered to the President of the United States.

"La Maria Morena…Lulu is it? We've come a long way looking for you. You haven't made it easy for us. My name is Agent Monte, I'm part of the DC Branch looking for you."

"Do you guys also have a name, or are you Cosmic's Dogs." Lulu asked agent Monte.

"No, The D.C Branch which is called S.T.E.L.L.A.R or Superhumans Today Exceed Limits of Life Arrests Required, answers only to the President of the Unites States. What Cosmic does is not our concern, but we do share one thing in common, The collection or extermination of Super-humans. Now please, nobody wants to fight…get in our car and we'll allow you to live with other like you. You'll be taken care of, abandon this path of crime."

"Both you Agencies just want to keep behind a cage, to use me for your interests. Well guess what…" Lulu began to turn into lava and squatted, "I'm only interested on what's interests Me! Secret Fire Art! Solar Sentinels!"

Lulu placed her hands on the ground, looked up at the sky along with the four agents. Despite it being night time already, a small beam of light came down from the night sky. That one beam split into four rays of light that sent down four 15 foot glowing faceless humanoids who were on fire.

The business suits from all four of the agents changed into battle suits, they shot high pressure water and a stream of Dry ice at the Humanoids from their gloves. The giants fought alongside Lulu, grabbing agents and breaking them in half and setting them on fire from just grabbing them. Some of the agents did not catch on fire when grabbed by one of the Humanoids, their suits made them just as cold as the surface of Pluto; but even so, it could not protect them from the sheer strength of these beings.

Lulu engaged in hand to hand combat with Agent Monte, striking, swinging and kicking him. Some of her attacks found their marks on Agent Monte. To add more power to her punch, Lulu encased her fists and feet in heat orbs with temperatures ranging as high as 4000 degrees. Monte's battle suit began melt and tear each time Lulu landed a kick or a punch anywhere on his suit. Agent Monte dodged some of her quick punches, got around Lulu and got her in a chokehold.

What remained of his suit began to wrap around Lulu, his suit glowed with a heavy dark blue color, Lulu's dark caramel skin began to turn blue from the rapidly freezing suit. One of Lulu's guardian's who had finished off the last of the agents, went over and grabbed Agent Monte by his head and crushed it like a grape fruit. The rest of his body turned to ash and blew away into the night. The suit which depended on it's original owner's life to function died down and fell off of Lulu.

Lulu dismissed the solar guardians for tonight, they each got on one knee, bowed to her and faded away. Their fight left an entire park burning, three charred dead agents. And the sirens of firefighters and the police were nearing by.

"Lady Lulu, I have seen the next part of your journey. Head over to Olympic National Park in Washington, it is here where the next part of your life will take a turn."

Lulu heard Adlaw tell her from within her mind, she relaxed and took her time to breathe in and out. That last art exhausted her and made her mouth dry. Her skin color returned back to normal when she raised her body temperature back. She placed her book bag on and skipped out of the park, before having to turn other people working for the government into ash.
