She was packed and ready to go on her field-trip of a lifetime, after convincing her parents (her Dad mostly) that she could go and that she would be safe. And those others will be saving from her if anything where to happen accidentally or otherwise. But she really needed to stop calling it a field trip because it was not a typical trip and she was no longer in school and was definitely not going to any fields any time soon. Except maybe to some baseball fields for the obvious reasons of the love of baseball and it is after all one of America's greatest past times.
And also they had to convince her that she could go as well because the little voice inside her head that told her that she could not go because she did not want to go. The part where you are a scared little girl that does not want to grow up and leave her parents behind because it was a big move and was all too scary.
There was also her Mum convincing her that she could go and that they would be fine just without her help. Her Dad had it covered and he had finally agreed to get some help from other people so that he would not be doing it all by himself. His pride would not get the better of him and he would accept the fact that he did need help and that he could not do it everything alone because no one could.
The people that he was getting help from was mostly jocks from school and one's going to college that wanted to keep in shape through the exercise of working on The Kent Farm. She was told by the cute shy one that he wanted to be as "Fit as you are",apparently the boys were a little jealous and envious of how well she was in shape.
And she may have incidentally put a member of the football team in an arm lock and onto the ground in pain at a party. He was drunk, and he was harassing all the girls and making rude comments and made the mistake of crossing paths with her and her friends. The drunken guy name that she could not remember was hitting on Lana and would not leave her alone. He was going too far everyone could see that he was basically assaulting Lana right here and there at the time. Pete stepped in to the rescue like any guy does without thinking Pete was also had a little too much to drink at the party and things did not end well with the two of fighting. Pete was wrestled to the ground losing the fight, and she did not want things to get any worse so she stepped into help. And she did not realise just how much weaker people can be when they are drunk and used a little too much strength and put the guy on the floor. To say that he was humiliated was an understatement to say at least. He did not like the fact that he had been beaten by a girl and that he was being mocked for it by all his teammates.
Sure she had a six pack and muscles other places. But they were not too big because she really did not want to be over muscular because she did not like the thought of muscles being too big. Not that to say that muscles are not attractive on a woman or a man or anyone at all because they did because people are attractive no matter how they look. But the thought of people seeing someone very muscular and they automatically think of one thing and that person is very strong and nothing else.
The Trip of a Lifetime is what it should be called. And she was going to enjoy every minute of it because it was going to be stress free and was going to help solve all of her problems, she just could feel it in her gut that this was the journey that it would change it was something that she very much needed to become the woman that she needed to be instead of the girl that she was right now.
She had to drop by her Grandfather's office because he wanted to give her some documents/papers that she needed to help her out with a few things in her life for legal reasons and other situations that would help her out.
She and her parents had been avoiding him since the whole Thea Queen situation in Star City which led to him finding out the truth about her. Well, he had found out about her powers in Star City and she was not sure just how much he knew about later after the conversation that he had with her parents. All she knew that he knew that her adoption was not as you could say fully legit and legal because of the whole, her being, an alien she was not sure what he thought because there were a million things going through her head such as her being abducted by aliens. Which strangely enough you could say did happen because her parents just picked her up on the side of the road and decided to keep her.
1. She was an experiment from the government that went missing or her parents kidnapped/rescued her from them.
2. Worst one could be that she was just kidnapped from a loving family. For all he knew that she came from a family full of superpowers and that she was born with her biological parents and they were just passed on.
3. She was abandoned by biological parents because they were scared of her powers and was too destructive when she was a baby. Or they just gave her away like she was yesterday's rubbish that they just wanted to get rid of and never wanted to see again.
4. She somehow developed the powers growing up or something like she was bitten by a radioactive spider. Her grandfather would likely believe that spider bite caused by something on the Farm and caused by fertilizers to grow the crops. It would something Stephen King genre or something that was on television that had caught his eye.
There were a lot of ideas that popped in her head as well as her friend's heads. They had come up with conspiracies of their own and even shared their own thoughts on what they thought was the truth before she had told them the truth. And they were weird ones like the one where she had eaten a piece of candy on Halloween that gave her supernatural powers or the one where she was struck by lightning that one did not have a lot thought to it. But come on that she wished upon a star for supernatural powers was just so out of touch and was something that you would get from the TV.
But getting back to point she was going to see her Grandfather; she would be in and out before he knew it. Less than five minutes and it would all be over and she would not have to see him for a long time really needed to get better at the whole confrontation thing. Then again her Mum was insisting that she talk to him and get the whole thing over with because she did not want this to loom over so she might as well get it done and over with.
Sigh
And just like that she was in Metropolis within a few seconds or less because it could before someone else could blink. She had arrived and frightened a few pigeons on the ground that were panicking a little and starting to fly the usual was happening people giving double glances and checking if their glasses were working because they were not sure if they just saw something or not. She really needed to get better at the whole entrance thing without anyone seeing her or freaking out any pigeons or any other type of for example when she went flying around Kansas on a cold and cloudy night she accidentally freaked the hell out of some sparrows and she may have ruffled a few feathers or two. But hey she did get along well with eagles and they seemed to like her as well because everyone that passed by her seemed to eye at her and when she put her arm out they liked to land on her arm. And hey she did not even need the glove that people seemed to wear when doing falconry. They seemed to like someone that they could not make bleeds and leaves scratches on their arm or makes them scared of. They were happy with her and maybe a tad scared of her as well because she was not prey to them because she was the animal on top of the food chain to them. The point was she liked them and liked her.
And she was distracting herself again because she was supposed to be here and get herself some papers so that she could ….Get back to the main topic.
She made herself march to the main entrance to the building that her Grandfather worked in and then went up the five flights of stairs that she had to go up to get there. She did still not entirely trust herself when it came to elevators in Cities like this because bad things tend to happen when she was in them or things out of the nowhere. Like the last time she was in one she had somehow ended up leaving it to find out the secret identity of a vigilante and this was not the first time this had happened. And she did not want there to be a third one on her plate because come on how many billionaire vigilantes could there be out there?
There was two that she knew of, and she was sure that there was more of them out there, maybe they were not all billionaires but maybe millionaires or just run of the mild-mannered people.
"Weird?" she said to herself.
The sign said the opening hours that they would be open now, and they were supposed to be open now because she had an appointment and she was supposed to be meeting her Grandfather here.
"Maybe he forgot," she said to herself.
But who could forget a meeting like was puzzled and could not wait for answers. So she looked to see if anyone was around or if they were any cameras using her x-ray vision to see if they were any hidden ones that could not be seen by the naked eye. They were cameras, but none of them were facing her direction, so she was safe to just pull the handle of the electronic door and let herself in. While suspiciously looking in every direction that she possible could move her eyes up and down while rolling them around.
"Hmmm safe to go inside," she said clicking her fingers and pulled the door open.
She did not break the door by pulling it off its hinges while still holding the door in her hand. But this time she just broke the handle off instead and she was lucky because it was made of metal she was easily able to attach it back using her heat vision. Just like the last time and the time before that they really needed to get better and stronger handles on the door and maybe even a better security system.
She could not help if the door felt like it was a feather or that she was a little nervous about meeting her Grandfather again.
She remembered the last time that she saw him and it was a very shocking moment for him for the both of them and maybe the drunk girl in her car.
