He started to walk towards me, "look kid, I don't want to have to do this ok? You can go the easy way and just hand over the money or the hard way"

I laughed and said, "and what would be the hard way?" testing him. "This" he said and then blasted the ground barely a metre away from me, I didn't even flinch. He look shocked for a split second but then covered it up with his usual cocky facade.

"I think I'll go my way" I said and then closed my eyes. "Um hello? I know you're young but I didn't think you were young enough to fall asleep mid conversation" he said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes under my eyelids and focused on harnessing my energy.

Oh shit yeah I forget to tell you I have well you could say, powers, yeah it's pretty awesome, you're probably wondering how I got them, no I didn't get bitten by a radioactive spider, no I am not a god, and no hydra did not experiment on me I was born with them.

Weird I know but anyway I'll explain what I can do, ok so I can control all the natural elements I can make it start raining with a simple click of my fingers, I can make our city have an earthquake with a flick of my wrist. I can do anything at all if it's related to fire, water, earth, or air.

It's pretty sick right? Yeah although there have been a couple minor incidents that included wading through literal shit but yunno dark times, we all have our moments.

So yeah anyway back to the current.

I felt a source of energy running through me almost like electricity running through my veins and when I opened my eyes I knew this grandad was going down.

"Fight me bitch" ok I was laughing on the inside at that I'm so stupid sometimes. "Jesus, does your mum know you have a mouth like that " I ignored him and then started working on creating a tornado.

Richie rich looked behind him and I swear his soul left his body, ha sucks to be him. The tornado started to get closer and closer to us and I controlled it to suck in stark and start flipping him like a rag doll.

I started to get a headache from using too much energy but then suddenly goatee guy shot at me the dick, luckily then my hands up in front of my face making an ice shield just in time managing to block the hit from reaching me. The cold never bothered me anyway.

Although when I made the shield I had lost concentration and the tornado stopped and stark fell from about 15 metres high, oh well I mean he's got feet blaster thingys for a reason.

" what the hell? Who are you kid?" He exclaimed in shock while practically dying on the floor.

"The names González, Leticia (let-e-sia) Gonzaléz"I said using a bond reference just for dramatic effect.

"See ya round, old man" I said with a boyish just if my chin and then I turned around running along the roofs of all the apartment complexes heading for my home, after a long days work yeah I know I'm lazy af but I scored 400 bucks, why work longer than needed? Work smarter not harder.

~time skip to when back home~

I was chilling doing some indoor target practice with my handgun shooting at a couple beer bottles when I heard a knock at my "door" or well I think it used to be a door now it's just an old rotting slab of wood that opens and closes, barely.

I held my gun in front of me, checking I still had a couple rounds left I moved towards the door slowly. But before I got there it got busted down by the fucking avengers? What the shit ? Guess I really pissed of mr fuckface.

"Alright, jeez no need to break my fucking door down you know not all of us are millionaires I was coming chill ur tits"I said truly exasperated at the fact that they just barged in here the inconsiderate fucks.

"you're going to need to come with us miss" a guy in spandex ordered, damn I'm not a dog. "who are you, the police? No way you can't tell me what to do"I replied sarcastically.

"Told you she was difficult" Richie mumbled. "How old is this kid?" A guy who looked like a modern day Robin Hood spoke up.

"I prefer the term unique, and I'm 15 Robin Hood." I replied nonchalantly as if I was talking about the weather with an old friend.

"Leticia Braedon González, put your weapon down and follow us" spandex spoke again. "god who pissed in his Cheerios this morning?" I asked sarcastically.

I heard a snort at my reply and turned to see to my surprise mr fuckface discreetly laughing. "I actually kinda like you kid" he said smiling in amusement.

I ignored his comment and went over to sit on my bed, which was the floor with a manky old blanket on it, sitting cross cross apple sauce.

"Why should I go with you?" I questioned. "Because we think you would be an asset to our team" a red head spoke up oooo she screams confidence yasssss I like her.

"Ha and what would be in it for me?" "you would get a place to live, somewhere that's actually considered a house and food on the table" I decided to ignore the rude comment on my obviously high luxury home and tilted my head in thought. It might actually work.

"Hmmmmm" they all looked hopeful "nah I'm good" but I'm a bitch.

"What? Why?"

"I'm doing just fine here on my own, I'm free, no adults telling me what to do, doing things on my own account, looking out for myself I don't need you or your money."

They all looked speechless for a moment but then beardie spoke up. "if you don't come with us, we're going to call social services and inform them that there is an un-emancipated minor living on her own, without any adult supervision in a unsuitable shit shack she calls her home"

"You wouldn't" "oh but we would" said the midget bow guy. American condom looked a bit unsure of the apparent rest of the team's threatening implication, but he stayed quiet.

"Pack what you need and let's go" egg head said (a.k.a roger boy) I stayed in my spot glaring at them all individually before deciding against my better judgment and quickly standing up raising my hands out to send a shit ton of water at them.

But before I could I felt a small pinch in my neck and looked to my right to see, greenie ( although he wasn't green just yet) standing there holding an injection tube filled with a yellow liquid, to my neck.

"What the fuck?"i yanked the needle out and dropped it to the ground, i faintly I heard someone say 'language' but I was starting to get really dizzy.

"what was that? What did you do?" I weakly mumbled stumbling around a bit, while touching one hand to my neck. "Just something to help you" "what-" but before I could finish, black spots started to cloud my vision and my knees buckled underneath me but just before I hit the ground I felt someone catch me.

I tried to stay awake but my eyes were closing and there was nothing I could do about it, the last thing I saw was the shabby moulding roof of my apartment before I blacked out.
