Iron ... Girl???

What Happened to Me

I got in kicked to the couch one night. Some family was sleeping over and they got to take my room, I didn't mind, the couch is a great place in the basement to sleep. It's dark and cozy and I can sleep well into the day, 7...8...9 o'clock it feels great. This was a different night though.

I woke up sometime around 2, 3 in the morning, something scraped like metal, I sat bolt upright. If I wasn't awake before I was now. I looked around, there was something that was different but I couldn't see exactly what. 'its probably just the chain for the dog.' Holly, our 7 year old German Shepard slept in the basement but had to be tied up so she wouldn't get up on the couch. I rubbed my face... Never mind, I saw the metal 'armor' stuff that had encased my hands up to get elbows. I whipped off the sheet that covered the rest of my body. There was metal covering me. My legs, my body, my arms, hands, and feet. I slapped my face, there was a metal mask on me too. That was what had looked so off before, the mask made everything look just slightly different. I almost screamed. Almost.

'There is only one person that will have any idea of what to do with this.'

The 'suit' that I had on was just like the Iron Man suit, but this one was black and blood red.

'This is when I get to see how the heck this thing works.'

I looked over all the rest of the 'armor', it seamed like there was a camera of sorts on the helmet, if Iron Man controls his suit by talking to it, maybe I can do the same. I stayed quiet, if I woke up the house mom and dad would do who knows what. "OK, um, stand up." In less than a second the suit jerked my body into a standing possession, my body was a little sore from it, but it was weird. Like I controlled it but it also controlled me. 'I wonder if I can do stuff without telling it to.' I took a step forward.

'OK this is the weirdest thing that has happened to me since the accident. So I can move without telling the armor to do it. So what else can I do?' "Can you locate Iron Man?" I didn't expect a response.

A map came up on the screen, it had a picture of Malibu California. "OK so that's only a 30 hour drive. Um, suit can you fly?" I was greeted with a warming in the boots. I pulled one leg up to see what was happening.

"That is ill advised."

Me, "Who the heck said that?" Trying to be quiet while being very surprised is hard.

"I am the computer operating system for your Moc 2 suit."

I am trying not to freak out. That's hard when a bunch of machinery is talking you. "So, um, where did you come from?"

"I do not know"

Me, "What do you know," That could be a long explanation, "About me I mean, like why are you on me? How did you get here?"

"I have been named Veronica. I do not know who created me or how I was created. I do know my programming has instructed me to fine you and help you."

Me, "Help me with what?"

"Whatever you need."

Me, "So I wake up in the middle of the night, with a suit of 'armor' on, some AI thing telling me it's here to do whatever I need it to. And I know there is a guy in California who can help me get this stuff off." The suit didn't respond to me outburst, quiet as it was. "So how fast can you fly me to Malibu California?"

"At high speed I you will be there in less than 30 minutes."

Me, "And how fast is high speed?"

"Faster than a jet."

"Won't that knock me out or unconscious or something? Like going to fast will rush the blood to some place, won't that make me pass out?"

"Likely, but you will be fully awake by the time that we arrive at your destination."

I heard something upstairs move around. "What time is it?" I whispered? A clock came up 4:30. Dad would be getting up to go to work around now. "Um can you like go away, so that Dad doesn't see me?" It rolled up into my watch an over sized black jewel necklaces a pair of blood red earrings, a dozen bangle bracelets, and some ankle bracelets. "Well this is so not a weird random thing." I whispered as I crawled back onto the couch under the covers and silently hid from my Father. He left at 5:55. "I won't have time to get there and back before the others wake up. Hey computer thing can you like stay 'put away' until tonight?"

A buzz in your ear said yes.

Me, "Great now all I have to do is go through a day with a ton of people, without getting caught. And that's going to be so easy." Can you hear the sarcasm in that.
