Lightning

The Queen of elevens

My favorite card game is called Elevens. It's where you make 2 rows of cards and every row has 6 cards. The point is to find 2 cards that add up to eleven. Like 9 and 2, and 5 and 6. If all 12 cards have face cards you win, face cards are the Kings, Queens, and Jokers. The Ace card count as a 1 card so you can add it up with 10. I was playing that game in the living room when Ben poped in.

"Hey, you wanna go out?" He asked awkwardly. "Maybe get some food?"

"I'm good." I said. And then I rudely went back to my game.

Okay, I'll say it. Ben is not my all time favorite person. But he trys to get me to like him, and I'll give him that.

It took a few tries but I finally won the game. I was about to play again when my phone started to buzz. When I took it out of my back pocket I saw that Kid Flash was in Wichita for 4.5 seconds.

Out of curiosity, I typed in Kid Flash on Google and found some new cute pictures of him.

And by cute, I don't mean cute. Not that he's isn't cute! But that he's just good looking is all. With his yellow and red suit, and his red hair, and the red lightning bolt in a white circle on his chest and.....

"Hello, earth to Elysia?"

I jumped at the sound of Gemma's voice.

"What is it?" I asked still trying to catch my breath.

"Are you watching the TV? Because Hairspray is gonna be on in 2 minutes." She took the remote from the coffee table and turned on the flat screen.

"No, go ahead." I started to gather up my cards. "I'll just go to my room."

My super hearing accidentally turned on and I heard Gemma whispered, "When are you not in your room?" with an attitude.

Yeah, I may or may not lock myself in my own room from time to time. But only because the people I live with drive me crazy.

Up in my black room I stared at the wall that didn't have Skillet posters. And then at the foot of my bed where there was a trunk with black alligator skin on it. I walked over there and kneeled down in front of it. Locking the entire thing was a huge old lock.

Around my neak is a ball chain. Hanging from it is an old fashioned key. I haven't taken the neaklace off in 5 years. Not even when I brought my face close to the lock and used the key to open it.

Inside the trunk where hundreds of newspapers from "The Wichita eagle" that are about Lightning. I took them all out and layed them on my bed.

On my nightstand was a pair of scissors that I used to cut out the articles. The headlines where insane, "Lightning destroys hospital", "psycho alien scares Wichita citizens", "Lightning saves the day once again".

And those were just the short ones. The bigger front pagers, I don't even want to talk about.

It took awhile for me to cut them all out but once I finally did, I got out some tape and hanged the articles to my empty wall. I have been in my room for 5 hours when Christ walked in.

"Oh my god," He growled. "Don't tell me your a Lightning fan like Brittany and Alex."

"Of course." I said. "Why shouldn't I be?"

"Because Lightning is a walking disaster zone. We can't trust her."

"Lightning saves countless lives and sacrifices everything and everyone she love every time she's out on the streets. She would sacrifice her own life if it means saving the 300,000 lives in this city."

"And how would you know that?" He said walking away.

Because I love my city and family. And that's the truth.

A buzzing on my bed made me turn from the empty doorway, only to find that Andy sent me a text reminding me of our plans at Club Soda tonight.

Your probably wondering what Club Soda is. It's a club just for teens and they serve every kind of soda imaginable. I've haven't been able to go there this summer because of all the things I've been doing as Lightning. I'll be good to get out of the house and have some fun for awhile.

I changed into a black tank top and a leather high waist jacket with a black leather belt and black skinny jeans. It took awhile but I found my black high heeled ankle boots. Down stairs, my family was watching the national news where Damian Wayne was seen at Wayne Enterprises with his father billionaire Bruce Wayne in Gotham City, New Jersey.

I sliped out the door without anyone noticing.

"My house" by Flo Rida was what the DJ was playing at Club Soda that night. I was surrounded by dancing teenagers. Some people I knew, some I knew but don't like me, the rest I've have never seen before. Andy was waiting at our favorite booth drinking his favorite soda "coconut craze" which I have tried before and lets just say I nearly puked all over the dance floor.

There was a tablet inplanted in the table so I ordered my favorite grape flavor jolly rancher soda. I look at Andy and was surprised to see that he died his hair blonde.

"You colored your hair." I said.

"Surprise." He smiled.

There was a loud bang and a crash, I looked over to see a big hole in the wall with King Card standing in it.

"Hello children." He laughed. "I would like to request a special song for you all. It's called 'The death of Lightning'. Who wants to sing it with me?"

I sliped out of the booth and into the bathroom where I transformed into my uniform. Back out side people were running and screaming because King Card was going to zap them with his septer.

"This club is a place for dancing." I said. "So Card, let's dance."

I might not be updating anytime soon because I'm gonna go to Mexico and I won't have wifi. I'll be gone for 2 weeks just so you know.

See you soon.

Bye.
