The Black Sheep of the Family[A Jonas Sister Story]

Chapter Fourteen

Nearing the end here. Just this Chapter then an Epilogue! 

Chapter Fourteen

After answering a few questions from the Reporters, and the promise of a press release by tomorrow evening, we were able to leave the City by 9pm. I fell asleep on the car ride home, in dried blood, dirt and all, and was woken by Joe threatening to spit on my face. 

An hour later, I sprinted down the stairs. I was now freshly showered, still covered in bandages, but clean. My family was sorted in the living room, Mom and Dad standing as the boys sat on the couch. I took my spot in the middle, ready for this...news that was eating away my parents. 

"Hon, I just want you to know...you are so loved here. We love you more than life, okay?" My Mom held my hands tight.

I nodded, staying silent. My Dad then put hands on ym Mom's shoulders, it was obviously she would be doing the talking. The next three words should've changed my life. They should've made me want to run out of the house, to go on a search. But, no. 

"You were adopted."

I gasped, my eyes wide. It was a shock, apparently for everyone. Nick gripped onto my hands, as Joe and Kevin just stared, waiting for more answers. 

"We adopted you when you were two years old...you were so precious." My Mom smiled. "The minute we saw you, we loved you more than life."

"Wh-What happened to my biological parents?"

I didn't call them my 'real parents' because they weren't. The two people in front of me were my parents, add in the three boys and they were my family. My Only Family. My Dad bit his lip.

"Your Father was a scientists. He experimented with...serums, always trying to make a new one." I froze, thinking of my flashbacks and dreams of a man with a syrgine. "One night, he wanted to test one...and injected it in you."

I put my hand to my mouth. "The Doctors at the time said you were fine, that nothing changed." My Mom continued. "But..I guess that's where you got those 'powers' of yours, hm."

It all made sense. Dr. Stone said that it had to have been given to me later in life, it was my lunatic 'Dad' who did this to me....then I was taken away. My Mom sighed.

Kevin spoke up, "How come we don't remember  this?" 

"You were all still very young Kevin, you were more excited to have a little sister to even care how she came.." Dad explained.

"We wanted to tell you...but we were going to wait until you were eighteen." My Mom came back in, "Just in case you wanted to...look for them." She said the last part sadly.

My eyes widened. "Look for them? Are you serious?" I stood up. "You guys are my parents, and nothing is going to change that. You raised me, dealt with my adolscent needs, tucked me in...loved me. You're my real family, and signed papers or none, is not going to change that."

That earned me a group hug. I smiled as I kissed every one of them. It was true, they were the only family I needed, and the only Family I cared about. Sure, maybe one day I would want to find out about my Biological Family, but that wasn't going to be anytime soon. My Real Family was all I needed.

Once a Jonas, always a Jonas.

People of New York and Beyond,

Emma Denise Jonas here, and I beleive I owe the good people an explanation. Yes, I am the Invisible Woman, those newsclips weren't fake, and nor would I want anyone to beleive it to be. I hid who I was for a long time underneath a red wig, merely because I didn't want to put the ones I love in even more danger. But, I did want to use my powers (which how I got them will reamin private, thank you!) to protect you, the citizens of the USA. 

This will never change. I will always be there to save the day, to help you guys out as much as I can, and I hope ya'll see that as a lot. I'm sorry if I made anyone feel 'tricked' or 'uncomfortable' by my actions, but I promise that was not my intention. All I wanted to do was to make you all feel safe, and maybe even a little loved.

Anyway, thank you, for all you have given me. I will be defending the City for as long as I can, and that my friends, will never change.

Signed,

Emma Denise Jonas

"Very nice. Could use a bit more me, though."

I hit Joe with a pillow as we listened to a reporter read the statement. It only came out three minutes ago and every news outlet was already on top of it. We decided not to tell anyone about the adoption, why make a big deal out of something that didn't seem so..big?

I looked down at the file my parents gave me. Apparently, it was full of all the information that I would want to know about my biologic parents, including my Father's work with the serum. Honestly, I saw no reason to look, if they didn't want to know about me, then I wouldn't dare know about me. I was a Jonas, and nothing was going to change that. I always have been, and always will be.

"A bit more of you doing...what exactly?" Nick asked from his spot on the couch beside me.

Joe shrugged, "I dunno, being exceptionally good looking?"

"Psssh, I'm not going to lie to the people, Joe." I smiled, getting up from the couch.

Joe did a sarcastic laugh as Nick chuckled. I went to the recline and grabbed my purse, Kevin then came out of the kitchen, holding a popcorn bowl. He gave me a look.

"Hey! Where are you off to?" 

I froze, "Oh..um...IhaveadatewithAndrew."  I said quickly. As they registered the information, I ran out of the door. "Bye!"

I was followed by yells of "Be safe!" and "Just Say No!" as I rolled my eyes and went to the red truck that was parked in my driveway. Andrew stood outside of it, smiling as I ran up to him. We shared a long kiss, then seperated.

"I will never get tired of that." He smiled, opening the door for me, then going to his side.

Once he got in, I smiled. "Don't get too used to it. I'm not much into PDA." He stared at me. "Too many photoraghers, sorry man!"

"We'll talk about it."

I rolled my eyes at his fake 'seriousness' as he drove out of my driveway. I smiled, not beleiving that for once, everything was working out. My secret was accepted, my family supported me, and I had Andrew. 

Oh, and those super cool powers I use. 

What more could a girl ask for?
