Romanoff

ADELAIDES HOUSE, NYC

Lila Laurite was a known superhuman to everyone but herself.

Well, maybe not everyone. But to Natalia Alianovna Romanova she was one to watch.

Natasha Romanoff was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.S best agents. She knew all about Lila's family history, just by a click of a button. Her birthdate, her star sign, her siblings, her body count-

What? This girl was hot, she was only curious!

The most convenient thing was that if Natasha were to ever need to be in contact with Lila, it was easy.

Her little friend called Adelaide Crosshaft.

Lila Laurite had unknowingly been exposed to the supernatural world during a childhood event that had taken place. Lila's parents were scientists, and it all began when that were working on a biohazard experiment on a windy day in November.

Rachael and Thomas Laurite were well known supernaturalists on planet earth. They were forever being told to 'go home' or 'get lost' by random civilians on the street in everyday life. The constant uproar of prejudice aimed towards them was the breaking point for the duo. They blamed all of their problems on their two young children, Lila and Tristan, and every crime they had committed they had got away with.

Smooth Criminals.

'Thomas, if we don't do this we won't get the justice we deserve! Years we have dealt with the constant verbal abuse and public horrors we need to fight back, if we do this then we erase half of all known reality, and that's pretty much all of our problems gone!'

Thomas was highly conflicted. He knew that there was a high risk of them hurting those who are close to them, but then again Rachael, Lila, Tristan and himself would be able to live the easy life that they had always wished for.

'These cosmic rays... if we use them correctly then we will be successful in our quest?' Thomas questioned his wife. Rachael wasn't entirely sure of how well her idea would take place, but she hoped that everything would go the way it should. If she didn't show her questionability to her husband, then he shall stay unbeknownst, shan't he?

Little did they know, that the high-energy protons and the atomic nuclei that they were playing with, would later kill them. They had unknowingly just made her daughter exposed to said cosmic rays distorting most human attributes and making their daughter the most powerful superhero of all time.

Screw Superman.

For the Dark Angel had been born.

Once again, the streets of NYC were all hustle and bustle. Lila was carrying four bags full of alcohol, food, games and dresses, heading towards Addy's apartment. Addy had planned a small-ish party, inviting those whom are close to her, to celebrate her birthday.

Lila had never held a birthday party before. Truth is, Lila never liked celebrating her birthday. She didn't know why people even threw a party for such occasion, because in the end isn't a birthday just a celebration for the years you have until you die?

Lila's thought track suddenly came to a halt when she saw a Corvette Stingray parked outside of Addys' apartment. She had never seen this car before, nor recognised it. Had Addy went out and got a posh, expensive new car, even though she drives like a motherfucking maniac? Even though Addy's common sense was highly limited, she had enough of it to know that one, she was broke, and two, well, that's it really.

'Sprinting up a stairwell should be an Olympic sport,' Lila said, pushing open the apartment door and falling through it. She set down the bags and swiftly turned on the balls of her feet. In the corner of her eye she could she a patch of red, but then Addy's big ass forehead came into view.

'Lila!' She shouted, wrapping her arms around her. 'You came! You actually came!' Addy said ecstatically. Addy knew Lila had a unspoken hatred towards birthdays, parties and social gatherings. She was the most anti-social little brunette she knew.

Foreshadowing intensifies.

'Adelaide, if I didn't come I think I would have been harassed for eternity. I can't have another one of those Great Addy Pep-Talks again, I almost lost my mind when you started talking to me about my sex-life.'

Addy smiled.

'Everyone, this is my best friend Lila. Lila this is Jamie, Eli, Riley, Harvey and Delilah. The old friends from College I was telling you about?' Lila nodded, waving and smiling at the small group in front of her.

'And this is my, well, childhood friend,' Addy gestured for the 'childhood friend' to come forward. 'Natasha Romanoff.'

Natasha Romanoff? As in the Avenger? Since uh when, was Adelaide Crosshaft, friends with THE Black Widow? How, why, when...

'Oh! Right, I'm Lila, it's a pleasure- it's nice, nice to meet you!' Natasha smirked, amused.

'It's lovely to finally meet you, Lila Laurite. It's been a long, long time coming.' Natasha spoke softly.

Natasha knew her? Her whole name? And it's been a long time coming? Lila was too ecstatic to question her, she smiled a big smile and nodded.

'I can tell that we are going to be great, great friends.'
