7 year time skip
- Priscilla POV -
Well, how do I start this off? Should we start at the beginning? Yeah let's start at the beginning, one more time.
My name is Priscilla Rasputin, I'm the last of my species and for 7 years I've been on Earth. And today I'm going to Brooklyn Academy with my best friend Tyshawn and oh yeah I'm 13 but first let's talk about the past, let's talk about what I did for 7 years. And let's just say, it was crazy.
- 1980 and 1981, 1st grade school year -
First thing I realized about Tyshawn was that he's smart, incredibly so. I mean he built a computer in just spare parts that I help him get from the junk yard. I don't even know why he's still in elementary school.
Anyways I think I'm starting something in the gangs, because every week I beat up people and take half of their money. So right now I have around 200, I'm thinking of stopping soon though and get a job or something. I wonder who would take a 7 year old.
- 1981 and 1982, 2nd grade school year -
So I'm still stealing money from gangs but I guess they finally grew some brains and started walking in groups. So it's kinda hard to get money these days. But I got over 300 dollars saved up, so I'm just gonna lay low for a while.
I still didn't tell Tyshawn and Tyrone that I live in the slums. Though I guess with they way I'm wearing the same clothes everyday kinda gave them an ideal where I lived. They said I can live with them, but I declined. After all, I don't wanna seem like a beggar. I mean I still go over to there house for dinner, but that's different. I also met Mrs. Freeman. She's a nice, strong, smart woman. Considering men think women are weak, I have to say that's impressive. She's also African American, has brown eyes and plus glasses. I guess that's where Tyshawn gets his bad eyesight.
Tyshawn and I - mostly Tyshawn - also created a robotic arm. It's not futuristic or anything but I have to say it's at least a few decades ahead of time. Oh and also, remember when I said I was gonna try boxing? Well I can't or more exactly I won't.
I'm thinking of just being a professor actually both me AND Tyshawn are thinking the same thing. Think about it, Professor Rasputin or maybe just Professor R. I'm also 8 years old now
- 1982 and 1983, 3rd grade school year -
I'm 9 now. This year nothing interesting really happened. I went to school, hung out with Tyshawn. Build some cool stuff. And that's it. The only thing that I can say was really interesting was that they had a science fair that year and my project went out if control. It was a remote controlled toy car.
It messed up 2 other people's project. I mean it worked out well because it made me and those two people get an A-, but hey you get what you get. Of course me and those two other kids had to clean up the gym because of the mess but whatever.
- 1983 and 1984, 4th grade school year -
I'm 10. I realized that I haven't used my powers for a few years now. I guess I just didn't need it. I also got back to robbing people, mostly gang members though. I still live in that abandoned warehouse though. I opened a drum of that 'X Gene' stuff, it was like a liquid. I didn't do anything to it I just stared at it. I brought over Tyshawn to see what it is though.
"Umm... well let me get a syringe" he said getting a syringe out of his backpack. He takes some 'X Gene'
- which is clear - and study it for a few seconds on a microscope. "Ok, so it's kinda weird but I think in a few days I will probably find out what it is." He called over at me - I'm still looking at the 'X Gene' - I look at him from behind and answer, "Well already but stay safe, we don't know what this stuff is" he nods as he turn around him and heads out the door. "Aight, I'll see you at school. It's 6:00, are you sure you don't wanna come over to my house?" He questioned. I shake my head "No, for some reason today I'm not feeling it."
All of a sudden he looks at me wide eyes, "You? Not hungry? Did I forget to mention it's FREE food?" he questioned me. "Haha, very funny. But, yes I'm not feeling FREE food. BUT, I will come by later for your leftovers." I answered looking at him deadpanning.
- 1984 and 1985 5th grade school year -
I'm 11. After I gave Tyshawn a sample of the 'X Gene' he's been acting kinda weird. He's been drinking milk. A lot of milk. Like he would ask me for a few bucks just to buy milk I mean really? He drinks like 20 bottles a day now. He's sucking me dry. I didn't ask at first because I thought it was just puberty, but now it has gotten out of hand.
When school ended i walked up to him while he tried to sneak away 'Does he think he can avoid me?' I thought to myself as I walk up to him and tap his shoulder. He turns around and I slammed him against a wall. "We need to talk" I said looking at him venomously.
He looked around looking all nervous, "Talk? What do we need to talk about, I'm fine. I definitely didn't use the X Gene on me, what are you talking about?" My eyes widened "You WHAT!?" I shouted. That's when I realized where we were. I looked around to see many people looking at us with curiosity. Nosey people. "Let's talk somewhere else" I said grabbing his hand.
Several minutes later we were inside my house/base/warehouse. "So tell me what happened" I said pushing up my yellow glasses and tapping my foot on the ground while Tyshawn is in front of me standing. Wishing he was in a hole.
"Well... I couldn't figure out what the X Gene was so I used it on me. I couldn't use rats because I didn't have any." He says trying to make him look smaller.
I pinched the middle of my nose, "And you didn't come get me!?!? wait is this why your drinking so much milk!?!? *Gasp* Did it make you a milk addiction!?!?" I said looking at him in pity. I mean if you had an addiction would you want it to be milk? "What? No!!! Look if I showed you, would you promise to not get scared?" He said nervous
I looked at him with anger on my face "You think I'll just be angry at you just because something weird probably happened to you? Please I've seen weird and it has nothing on you. *whisper's* and that's coming from me, an alien."
He nodded his head. "Okay, I got this. I can do this." then something shocking happened, he grew bones out if his arms, ripping his shirt.
I stared at him, shocked. Then I moved forward and looked all over his body. "This... this is... this is amazing, how did this happen?" I said running a hand all over his arms. "It's cool right? See this happened when I injected myself, I ran a test on my blood and saw that it was the X Gene that did this to me" he said touching his own arm "It's also why I've been drinking so much, I've been testing my abilities and I found out that I have enhanced strength, a self-repairing exoskeleton which I can extend and produce projectile spikes plus I can use them as weapons. It's also why I drink so much lately, milk has the calcium in it to help me use my powers." He said going into teacher mode. But I just ignore him and keep looking at his spikes fascinated
"And if you inject yourself you might get powers too, and then we can be superheroes and then we can start a new hero team like the Justice Society did, past tense because they split up, but still!!" he said with stars in his eyes. I look at him in the eyes and tell him in a serious voice, "Well since you told me your secret i guess it's time to tell you mine" he looks at me, confused. "What are you talking about- " but he never got to finish his sentence before I transformed.
"I'm an Alien" and he past out. I mean your a what? Superpowered person and yet you can't take aliens existing?
- 1984 and 1985, 5th grade school year -
I'm 12. When he woke up he asked me if I already injected myself with the
X Gene, which I repeatedly told him I didn't, he wanted to get I sample of my blood, which I told him no and said I really am an alien. I even showed him my house stamp and combat suit. Which by then he started believing me because Earth doesn't have that technology yet.
On other news, I think I'm dying. A few days ago I had my first period. Of course I didn't know that. So yeah... the first thing I did was run to Tyshawn's place and as soon as Mrs. Freeman saw blood covering my lower half, she immediately knew what happened. And let's say that I'm glad my parents gave me red clothes.
Another thing that happened this year was that we got a invitation to Brooklyn Visions Academy!!! I mean I new it would happen but think about it, if I do good which I know I will, I'll have money. I'll finally get off the streets and sleep on a bed. Tyrone and I already know the classes we'll take. I'll take cooking, nursing, and physical therapy. while he takes computer engineering, business and, mental therapy.
The school also has a dress code. Boys have to wear a white dress shirt, grey vest, dark blue blazer, dark blue tie, dark blue dress pants, and black shoes. Girls basically wear the same thing but, instead of dress pants we wear skirt's. Of course they send the uniform to us in the mail, or we pick it up at the school.
- 1985 and 1986, 6th grade school year -
We're 13 now and are standing outside of Brooklyn Visions Academy. I see Tyrone looking at me from the corner of my eyes, "Told you you'll make it" he said smiling at me. Yep, he's right. He told me I'll make it from the beginning. I smiled at him "yep, I made it" I said smiling back. Tyshawn looked at us from where he's standing "Oh so now we keeping secrets from each other?" he questioned as he puffed his cheeks out. To be honest Tyshawn really did change though.
Right now he's has cornrows with only about one pimple on his face - that I swear im gonna pop - he also has muscles that he got from his abilities and he's really tall - 6'1 feet - and he's only 13 wearing size 16 boot's. Guess puberty did hit him hard. I also with some of my savings made him a costume.
( He looks like this, okay nevermind, I'll probably put it in the comments because the link it's looong. But, It's okay because I have a discard!!!!! 😁😁😁. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/tc7KMUN
PSS: The photos are not mine)
The suit has teal colored pants with a green colored V styled shirt. It also has an X in the middle of the shirt. It's also kinda weird how we take off our glasses we look like a totally different person.
I also changed over the years. I have my hair in a female mohawk, it's still black, though it'll turn silver/metallic when I transform. Im also still wearing my glasses so people won't recognize me, kinda weird how they don't.
(Well I guess I'll end off here, stay safe everyone.)
