Episode 1 Origins-part 1 Keiara

It was a normal day for me, seeing all those so-called superheroes, flying around...and others running at supersonic speeds, most of them shooting lasers out of their eyes....

All of them have their own story to tell, including me...but who would want to listen to mine, yep,that's right the main character of this story is nothing but a low life,broke NPC of a character....how worse can it get, right?

You'd be surprised ...

Anyway, I was walking out of a café, where I just got fired...hey I know what you're thinking..."gee, Keiara, first you're a broke-nobody, and now you can't even keep a job"...well it's not my fault that the customer was so rude and obnoxious...wellll... I guess it is kind of my fault for throwing that coffee at him... I should probably apologize(turns around)

(bumps into someone)

Stranger:watch where ya going, You b....(looks up)

Keiara:I am so sorry ...I didn't see you and...

(taxi driver yells for last person)

Stranger:wait, you're....

Keiara:(running towards taxi )Again,I am so sorry...

Stranger:(confused)strange girl...(laughs)

I ran without looking back, hopefully he didn't see my face long enough to sue me …

I got on the taxi before looking back,the guy was gone ...

*MEANWHILE*

Stranger:Boss, it's HER

Hopefully I can make it in time for the last sighting, recently THEY caught a Nanyte, you're probably wondering who I'm talking about, well,if you really want to know that's the Apex Alliance, the most popular superhero squad, I would give anything to be in their group...

The Leader-Aurora:has the ability to manipulate light

The Tech Expert-Quantum:a walking genius and calculator

The Strength-Apex:Superhuman strength

Stealth-Spectra:can manipulate darkness

Distraction-Nova:master of all thing's illusion

And last, but definitely not least...the Heartthrob....uhh... I mean ...the weather control...(chuckles)...(sighs)... TEMPEST....-he has the ability to control the weather...and he looks so good while doing it...my gosh...

Tempest:listen up, everyone, even though we caught 1 Nanyte...there are still many more out there...we need your help...we need you all to stay safe...

Interviewer 1:so Tempest, can you tell us how you caught something that's been terrorizing us for centuries?

Tempest:well, uhh,I can't exactly disclose how we did it...but …uhh... I know I couldn't have done it without my team(pulls Nova close)

I don't know what came over me, except for the fact that I felt sick to my stomach...seeing them so close, I walked away from the crowd slowly, trying not to seem so...jealous...

Although, no one had ever seen the real faces behind their masks, I'd seen one of them... Ethan or you might know him as Tempest now...we were best friends…once upon a time...but then he got his powers... I guess people...change...

Tempest:Wait, Keiara is that you...

At that moment, I wish I could have disappeared...the whole crowd turned to look at me...but ...how did he recognize me... I mean we hadn't seen each other in over a year...(turns around)

Keiara:uhh...hey Tempest …(waves)

Tempest:(walks over to her)is that really you, (caresses face)

Keiara:yeah, it's really me...

Tempest:I thought you were...

Keiara:thought I was what?

Tempest:Nevermind...(say's sternly)we need to talk (takes her arm, dragging her threw the crowd while paparazzi take dozens of pictures)

Keiara:T-talk….a.. About what...you mean just the two of us...

Tempest:no...(voice deepens)with... Nova...(gaze darkens)

He pulled out of the crowd and took me to The Palace...a place only the most elite supers are allowed to go to...we all sat round a table...this is where the meeting started

Nova:so explain to me why an "ordinary" is sitting here...at "Our" table

Keiara:(stands up) I'm right here ya know....

Nova:I can see that, I'm not blind...

Keiara:you wanna be...

(Nova stands up)

Nova:you really wanna fight me?

Keiara:no need... you'll lose ... severely

Nova:oh, how nice, you actually know, proper English...

Keiara:ugh, you are so ...(eyes changing colors)

Nova:aww, you getting angry now(bends down to reach her level)

Keiara: you're all so...so...

Nova:so what?

Keiara: especially you Nova, you're such a b-

Tempest:enough! Let's get this meeting over with...

Why did he say it like that...does he not want to see me?..I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed...

Tempest:Keiara, you're joining the Apex Alliance...

(Nova and Keiara at same time):What?!!

Nova:she can't just join...she.... she's an ordinary!

Keiara:would you just, shut up!(utensils go flying towards Nova in a pink glowing lightning, almost hitting her before it was stopped by Tempest...

Did I do that.... Did I just almost kill someone, and now everyone knew...my secret, I had to get out of there, I ran out of the room while everyone chased me, I started regaining my powers, I didn't know I would get them back so soon, I used my levitation, and before I knew it I was walking on air again, each step I took was that glowing pink again I ran to the top of the building trying to create a portal to escape, unfortunately, I hadn't made one in a long time...and before I knew it, Tempest was on the roof with me...

Tempest:Keiara,just come back inside,and we'll talk...

I knew he was lying, but ...why did it hurt this much... I mean I had been lying to everyone my entire life... I was the last Glitch... I turned to Tempest with tears in my eyes, his hand was reaching out to hold mine... I was about to take his hand when all of a sudden, a strong grasp pulled me into a portal...

Max:look I know this might sound strange, but I'm from the future and so are you and in the future we're.....

Keiara: we're what?

Max: that's not important, right now I need you to understand one thing... Nova she….she made all of this up...

Keiara:what do you mean ?

Max:I mean ...none of that actually happened, right now you're about to be fired..

Keiara:what!so....that wasn't really Tempest was it...

Max:(frowns)can we not talk about …him

Keiara:why not? I don't even know you...

Max:yes you do, I mean you will...(looks disappointed)

He drove me through a portal in this futuristic looking car,it was... peaceful and kind of nice,even though I didn't know him,it felt like we we're close...
