          BEING SPECIAL IS NOT A good thing

BEING SPECIAL IS NOT A good thing. I don't care what anyone says, being special just puts you in places where you don't want to be. They all think I'm special, they tell me almost every day when I'm not in the room and to my face.

But they don't make me feel special.

Do special people get poked at by scientists and get cut up with their little knives? Do they keep them locked in an underground jail? Do they still treat you badly despite being as special as they say?

I would've said a lot of good things special people feel, but I never got to know that. I don't know if I wasn't meant to be so special, maybe I'm just not cut out for it; a lot of the scientists and other people think that it was a mistake for me to have powers.

I also thought that for a while, until I met two more people who are special like me!

Turned out that they were both twins. One is a boy named Pietro and he can run really really fast, so fast no one can ever keep up. The other is a girl, her name is Wanda, who has this cool red magic at her hands and makes this float and makes her eyes red.

When I met the twins, they were so shocked to see me come in. They thought I was going to be an adult and didn't expect a kid.

They are both nice to me. They would ask me questions that didn't have to do with my powers, and I really liked that. They asked about my favorite color and show the scientist allowed me to watch; Pietro would ask who was the better twin.

I never answered that one though, I liked them both equally.

But they are special. They do things that no one could do, that is what I think special is. Everyone didn't question them when they got their powers, so something had to be different between them and me.

My powers aren't flashy as there's. I can take anything, I don't get hurt no matter what. My body changes to make sure I can keep up with whatever they throw at me. 'Instantaneous Adaptation' is what they called it. It's not as cool as the twins but one of the scientists told me that my power is actually a very important one.

I don't think I believe that. I would rather take running fast and magic than never getting hurt.

We all got these powers from a cool yellow rock.

When I was old enough, I went into a dark room where a long metal thing had a blue glowing rock in the middle of it. It kinda looked like a fancy staff I've seen wizards use in the movies.

But when the scientists were trying to talk to me from behind the mirror and the speakers, everything went silent.

Before I knew it, the small rock was floating out of the staff and toward me. I was scared at first, I've never seen something come to me like that. The rock stopped as it was right in my face. I didn't know what to do with it, I couldn't tell if I was allowed to touch it or not; no one was saying anything.

But it was so pretty and its light was shining on my skin, which felt nice. The rock was glowing blue and I swore it was calling my name. I couldn't help myself but hold it in my hands.

That's when it got weird.

In my hands, the rock broke and it turned into a yellow jewel, and all that light was going into my skin. I screamed and almost dropped it when I saw it, but it didn't stop me from going through my arms and my entire body.

It didn't hurt really, I screamed because it wasn't an everyday occurrence where magic light gets in your body. I don't know if it was from shock or the magic but I did pass out.

The doctors don't know what I did to make that jewel react that way, no one did. They just said that the recording just caught me looking at the rock and passed out instantly.

Well, that ended up being wrong because I got powers from it; the twins did too.

After that, the scientist did even more experiments on me. It began to wear me out badly, to the point where I had a meltdown over doing a simple prosecutor. I honestly don't know what came over me, I think I was just too stressed.

There are times when I do like my powers because no kid has them and it's apparently very unique, but at the same time, it's the reason I have to be on a metal table and get tested.

When I asked Wanda and Pietro about the doctors testing them, they said that the first few weeks of having powers sucked because they weren't used to it, but the tests the scientists gave them weren't bad. Pietro just had wires on him as he ran to see how fast he was, Wanda had to move a lot of objects heavy and light.

It was safe to say, I definitely got the short end of the stick.

I've known the twins for almost a year now. They've helped me a lot over the months, they got the scientists to treat me nicely now and I don't feel as alone anymore.

Lately, they haven't been able to see me as often. They have been training nonstop, to fight the Avengers.

The Avengers are the bad guys.
That's what I've learned since I could even remember. At first, I thought they were okay at best, but that was only because some of them had powers. That changed once Wanda and Pietro really had it out for them, or really one member, that's when I had to see past their powers.

They never told me what happened or why they hated the Avengers. I stopped asking after the 50th time.

Once they began to train more, I knew something was coming up. That feeling was right then they began to train me.

I could only hope that what's going to happen doesn't scar me for life.
