Super Beginnings

Chapter Seven - Saviour

The Four of us crammed inside the truck and was heading back home. Clark and I were having thumb wars, trying to beat each other. It wasn't always easy with a twin, we had similar thoughts.

"Gonna get ya, gonna get ya!" I muttered.

"Oh my god, Jonathan." Mom exclaimed making us look up there in front of us was Whitney's truck turned over. Dad skidded to a stop and since I was on the door side, I clicked it open and jumped out. Despite not liking the older boy, It was hardwired for me and Clark to run over in aid. Clark pulled out the window shield and I grabbed the blonde jock, pulling him out. Clark grabbed his legs we shuffled away.

"Clark, Mia!"

Boom!

Time slowed a little for us as the explosion we a second out of sync. I was knocked back, off my feet, Whitney fell with me to and Clark hunched over taking the brunt of the blast.

"Clark! Mia!" I heard Mom and Dad "Clark! Mia!" I groaned pushing myself up to rest on my shoulders. They let out sighs of relief seeing that we were okay. I moved Whitney off and wannabe instincts kicked in.

"Dad call 911." I leant down and checked his breathing "Breathing normally, nothing constricting his airways. Whitney! Fordman! Can you here me? Say something?" he groaned out but there were no words

"Talkative as usual." I mumble "Cut to the fore head, possible concussion." I opened his eyes

"Pupils responsive, yep he lives to be a jerk another day." The ambulance came and they took over, there was nothing serious but I told them what I had done. The first aid course came in handy.

Back home was was helping mom out, I was sat on the tractor. She seemed rattled by what had happened.

"Mom." she looked up at me "I'm sorry for scaring you earlier. I didn't mean to."

"Oh Mia." he grabbed a hold of my hand "I know you didn't. Honey...you scared me yeah, but I am so proud of you. So proud, you looked after that boy and it wasn't a second thought." I climbed down to level with her.

"You are going to be a great Doctor someday." I beamed at that

"You really think so?" she nodded with absolute determination

"Absolutely. Dr Mia Kent. Has a nice ring to it." I laughed and then became more solum "What is it, Mia?"

"Something happened this morning. I was dreaming that I was flying and it was a nice dream. But then i woke up and I was in the air my face was touching the light shade. I must have been three feet or more so in the air." I admitted to her.

"You're sure?" I nodded "Well that's new."

"Mom, I already feel like a weirdo being the nerdy, smart one at school. I don't need another alien power making me more..." I trailed off

"Ailenated?" I nodded she sat be down on the steps of the porch. "Sweetheart. When you found us all those years ago, you and your brother were a gift from the skies. When we found the ship you came in we realised that not only did we need to protect you but that you must been here for a reason. We all grow up and we all change, you can't be afraid of that change. Human or not. Like with everything before we'll figure it out together. I promise" she wrapped me up in her arms and kissed my head. I relaxed and hugged her back.

At school I was sorting out my locker for my first few classes. History, English and Math. I grabbed them books and slipped them into my bag.

"Mia." Whitney leant against my locker. i glared at him but went back to what I was doing "I wanted to thank you, for help saving me yesterday. The paramedics told me that you were the one looking after me and the one who pulled me out."

"Clark, helped." I muttered "We did what anyone else would have done. It's not a big deal." I closed my locker and walked away.

"It is though, seriously. Thank you, if there is anything i can do...."

"There is actually." I turned to face him

"Name it."

"Stay away from my brother, have your own petty jealousies in your own time but keep away from him." I walk to talk to Chloe but before i could get a word out there were several bangs. I turned sharply seeing my prank come into full effect. A number of jocks got spattered in black and red paint. I smirked chuckling a little. Whitney stepped back with his arms out.

"What the hell!" he yelled I turned on my heal and walked away
