Considering the unfair end for Sophie and my enormous interest for the new Marvel movies, I decided to write a probably short story for Sophie. I think she deserves her own happy ending too. I want to pair her with the screen stealer from the new Captain America: Civil War movie, Emily VanCamp. I think she's absolutely gorgeous and really got my imagination going. So, now I have two on going stories to write and absolutely excited for it! I messed up with the timeline a bit for this story, but I just try to have fun with it. Sorry! I hope you guys are excited for this too!

Everybody wants to be a hero. There's no doubt in that. It's also true for Sophie Turner. Her seven years old self was always be fascinated by the power and sense of justice that every superheroes represented. Landing a part in Game of Thrones or her other movies will always be surreal moments for her. But being Jean Grey in one of her favorite comic book series takes her whole career into a whole new level. She finally got her childhood dream comes true. It's not the cape bearing heroes, but telekinesis and mind reading skills are pretty sick too.
Six months ago, she was high on the clouds. Getting married in a month and will be promoting her new movie, X-Men Apocalypse on the next Comic Con. Life couldn't get any better than that. But it could go worse, so much worse in just a matter of weeks. Her wedding got cancelled, abruptly and painfully. Her ex-fiancee, Jess, left her to go back to her ex girlfriend, Cara. She should have knew better than rushing in a relationship when the scars of prior relationship was still fresh. She made the biggest mistake in her life by ignoring all of the warning signs and forced herself to believe in love and the commitment that they've made. Bullshit. The day Jess left her to be with Cara, she had torn Sophie's heart apart and tossed it away without even looking back. Love is just a word and the feelings that come with it is just an illusion. She had lost her girl. She might be a superhero in her movie, but in real life, she's just a heartbroken loser.
Comic Con is just the thing that she needs to feel good again about life. The hype and the excitements! Thousands of comic enthusiasts staring wide eyed at the parade of their favorite superheroes, being brought to flesh by the lucky actors and actresses like herself. It's hard to feel bad when a part of invincible feeling of her character is slowly seeping in to her weary soul. Sophie also can wait to be reunited with the other casts. After working together intensely for the whole time of filming on set, she thinks of her fellow actors as her close friends, if it's not a part of her extended family.
"Hey, girl," Jennifer Lawrence takes the seat next to her on the private jet that's rented to take the whole cast to San Diego. "I've heard about the sad news. I am sorry, Sophie. If there's anything that I can do to help, don't hesitate to let me know, okay?"
She gives Sophie a sincere smile, with a sisterly pat on her back. Sophie thinks so highly of her. An Academy Award winning actress with a kind heart and solid work ethic. Jennifer is like the big sister that she can rely on, professionally and personally. Sophie had learned so much from her. And they had so much fun together when they were in set. A lot of partying and elaborate pranks, which could do wonders to ease the stress of filming.
"Thanks, Jen. It still hurt, but I'll be okay."
"For all I know, it's her loss." Her sympathetic smile, combined with her easygoing attitude, makes Sophie smiles a little too. It's hard to feel bad around her. "You're a great person, hotter than the sun and a damn great catch. If she couldn't see it, then somebody better would. Somebody that deserves you more than she ever did."

Sophie has some time to kill, since the X-Men press conference isn't due until two hours later. She's exhausted from the five-minutes interviews which she had endured since early morning. She's slumped against her chair, while poorly attempting a conversation with her castmate, Alexandra Shipp, who plays Storm. Alexandra is fiddling with her phone absently, looking as exhausted as Sophie does.
