Luna L.

*Just a heads up I will be skipping most of Luna's college life as I plan to do a spin-off with that, anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter!*

During Luna's sophomore year of college, she met a boy around her age. His dad comes from a prestigious family, he also works at Lex Corp so Luna thinks they were bound to meet. She couldn't lie, she did have quite a crush on him. One day Lex told Luna that he planned to run for president, he needed all hands on deck with his campaign so when she wasn't doing classwork she was helping her dad. On November 8, 2017, there was an ambassador meeting.  That day Lex announced to the public that he was running for president. He was outside the white house campaigning for it. The boy that Luna liked was also there because Lex told everyone it was an all-hands-on-deck situation so he decided to bring his son so Luna could talk to someone. "Luna while I'm out here I want you to go scope everything out. I don't want you to accidentally get hurt if someone decides to try to attack us." Lex told his daughter. "Ok, is it okay if Kyle comes with me?" Luna questioned her dad. "Yes, it's fine as long as 6 feet away from you." He said. Luna rolled her eyes and said, "Dad nothing will happen." Luna quickly hugged Lex before running off to grab Kyle. They went to grab ice cream and talk. Luna kept blushing as they were talking. As they he leaned in to give her a kiss and an explosion distracted them. "HAHAHA, I AM MR. CYCLONE AND I ARE HERE TO TAKE EVERY PEOPLE'S MONEYS!!" The crazed man screamed waving a blaster in his hands. "Someone didn't teach him good English," Kyle said. Apparently, the man heard him and came straight towards the pair. "WHAT DID YOU SAY BRAT?!" He yelled at them. Luna went to look at Kyle only to find that he had left her. 'That coward.' Luna thought to herself. 

Luna gave the man a grumpy look, she didn't feel like dealing with this foolery. "Sorry for him he doesn't understand human interaction and emotion control," Luna said as she turned the other way to avoid any interactions. "You wait brat, someone will pay for the bullying your friend put me through." The man said before grabbing Luna's forearm hard. "HEY LET ME GO!" Luna screamed at the man. He then tighten the grip he had on her as she gave a little yelp out. "SHUT UP!" The man screamed in her face. Luna then started punching him as hard as she could. That man start dragging her from her spot so she swung her leg back and gave him a fatal blow to the belt down below. He kneeled down and as he did this Luna gave him a boot to the face as it broke his nose. She put space between herself and the man and started calling her dad. 'Where were the bodyguards?' Luna thought to herself, the whole point of them was because she felt extreme anxiety from high school so they were supposed to protect her more. All of her calls went to voice mail "Ugh, Dad when you get this please call me back if we're not together by then. We need new bodyguards, the ones that are here are nowhere to be seen and I was just attacked." she complained. That's when she heard someone scream "Watch out!" towards her. The man had the blaster pointed at her and he hit the trigger. Luna was easily swiped up by someone, Luna looked up into the person's eyes. She had beautiful hazel eyes, long black hair, and she was in a black outfit with white stars. Luna held on tighter when she realized they floating away. "Umm, where are we going?" Luna asked. "Don't worry, I'm taking you away from the fight. Somehow you managed to be the youngest one around and yet took down that man. I applaud you for your bravery." The young woman said as they went to the ground. "Stay here, you'll be safe until they restrain him." the woman said starting to walk away. "Wait I never got your name!" Luna said getting her attention. The woman stopped for a second "My name's Wonder Girl!" she said. "Thank you for saving me Wonder Girl!" Luna said with a smile as the woman went back to the fight. That day was the day Luna changed her mind about the heroes. While granted the destruction needed to stop but the heroes weren't the problem.

The aftereffects of that day affected everyone. Lex found out the boy left her there he found some reason to fire his dad, and the villain that attacked her mysteriously disappeared. The guards were fired for not being there to protect her. While her time back at college it became Luna's sanctuary, a place where she felt truly free. The moment she stepped back onto campus, everything was completely different as if her eye were fully opened now. Here, the constraints of her father's strict hand over whatever she did seemed to melt away, allowing Luna to fully embrace her individuality and explore her passions without the fears of being shut down or being told that she was wrong to continue. Luna finds peace in the vibrant campus community. The opportunities for involvement are endless, from joining clubs and organizations that align with her interests, to participating in community service initiatives that allow her to make a positive impact on the world. In her newfound freedom, Luna discovers the power of self-discovery. She embraces the chance to explore new interests, experiment with different perspectives, and challenge her own beliefs. College becomes a transformative journey, as Luna discovers her true passions, unravels her potential, and learns to trust in her own abilities. While at college she had found her own voice, she doesn't want to do her dad's dirty work. She found out not long ago that their plan to change the world for the better had been a ploy for him to get rid of all superheroes. Luna quickly found favorites in the likes of Wonder Woman, her sidekick, Black Canary, and Hawkgirl. They influenced her to be stronger and to take nothing but kindness from others. They were symbols of empowerment and equality in Luna's eyes. 

Lex however didn't fully know this about his daughter. So it was a surprise when she stopped helping with his plans, she however still helped with anything that was given to her to do for the company. Luna even decided that she would one day put on the suit her dad made for her on again, but there were some changes that desperately needed to be made. So she decided to find a way to get the original blueprints for the suit, and after getting them she felt irritated at her dad. The suit was designed to fail, it could barely withstand any harsh conditions. When Luna wasn't in class, or doing her work for the company she had her nose deep into computer programming, engineering books, as well as taking up physics. After pouring her heart into this project of hers she finally made the perfect plans for it, but here was the hard part. How was she going to build this suit without her dad finding out? This was hers and she wanted no interference with it. One day while studying she got a call from her dad. "Luna darling I have some exciting news." Lex through the phone. "What is it?" Luna questioned her dad. "Well I was able to pull some strings but when you come home you will be working as Lex Corp's Co-CEO!" Lex exclaimed with excitement. "Is that all? I knew you would do something like this so I could learn from the best." Luna explained to her dad. "Well that was the first part of the news, I know it's early but you will also be doing your internship over here as well!" Lex said hopefully it surprised his daughter. "Wow, I'm surprised you could pull that off," Luna said as she laid in her bed. "Anyways I got to get going, I'm sorry it was cut short but I'm busy, I love you," Lex told his daughter. "I love you too bye," Luna said as her dad hung up. Luna sighed, "You're always busy." she said to no one in particular. Luna turned over and decided to stalk whatever the superheroes were doing, she was fond of the Teen Titans lately.  'One of these days I won't worry about my dad and what he'll do when he realizes I'm not here for his evil plan, I'm here to help.' Luna thought to herself. If only she could fully stop his plans, but yet there are some that not even she knew about.
