Lightning

Me time

Who am I?

You sure you want to know? Because my story is not for the faint of heart, that's a quote by the way.

If someone told you that I was just a 14 year old girl who wears black, Doc Martens, and watches horror movies. That I'm just a normal high school freshman with not a care in the world. Well, someone lied.

I am Lightning.

If you don't know who Lightning is, let me tell you.

Lightning is an alien princess from pluto who protects the largest city in kansas, she is a superhero who risks her life everyday to save the 300,000 people who live in her home town.

But let me tell you this, this story is about a city. This city, the city of Wichita. The city that the human Elysia grew up in. A city that both she and I care about. Even before I came here this city has always been pretty crazy, even more now that superpowered villains run around the streets.

I make the people of this city feel safe. That it's okay to walk home from school everyday. I've said this before and I will say it again, I am Lightning.

This is what I wanted to write in my English essay. To write who I really am. But that would be a risk on revealing my secret identity, so I'll just stick to being a nerd.

"You wrote an entire paper about what you've been learning in algebra?" My mom asked.

"Yeah." I said over the loud screaming from the tv.

I was watching my favorite horror movie "A blade from the darkness."

I am known in my family as a movie buff. Especially when it comes to horror. You see with being a superhero, a high school student, and an alien princess, I haven't had any "me time" in weeks. I missed the season premiere of my favorite horror themed tv show and so many episodes after that. I always manage to find time back in the summer but now with school being back and all, I just seem to always be running or flying around.

"Are you sure this isn't a little to scary?" My mom asked.

"I can handle it." These are words I've said to her over and over again when it comes to horror films.

"I'm not talking about you."

"Soo much blood." Alex said shaking and scared to death.

The movie stopped for a brief second and low and behold, Deathwing is live on TV.

"Hello people of Wichita. As you may know, I am Deathwing. Lightning, I do hope you are watching. If you want to get me. Come and find me."

And then the tv went back to the movie. My mother and I stood and sat in total shock. We were staring at the tv but we weren't focusing on the pycho killer.

"I'm calling my captain." My mom finally said, and marched off to the kitchen.

The movie stopped again with a live broadcast from the kansas news.

"We interrupt this program with braking news, every chanel in Wichita was just stopped when Deathwing came on with a possible threat. And not just at wichita but at Lightning mostly. I do hope she was watching."

"She was." I said mostly to myself.

I ran upstairs to my room and locked my door behind me.

"Blue, I need you to find out where she filmed that broadcast." I gently tapped my fingers on his silver ear piece hologram.

"Already done your highness." He said cheerfully. "Basement of the KAKE news building."

Instantly, I transformed into my uniform, walked out onto my balcony, and took off.

In seconds I was on the front lawn of the abc KAKE news. Right next to the building was a broadcast tower, turning into a lightning bolt I flew in the wires and was in the basement.

Deathwing was running around as fast as she could packing up the equipment she used to get on tv. Her mask was off so I was able to really look at her.

She had long hair that was so black I could see the light shining purple and green highlights in it. Her face was heart shaped and skin a dark Mexican brown. Her eye were a caramel tan color. She looked like an everyday teenagers and not like someone who was struck by an evil-turning lightning bolt.

"Sonja?"

Instantly, she took off one of her metal feathers and helded it out as a sword.

"How did you get here? How do you know my name?" Her voice sounded like she was crying.

"Why are you doing this? Why did you try to kill that kid?" I asked.

"He broke my heart." Now she was crying. "We were together for years, and he broke my heart."

"That's no reason for you to try and murder him."

"Yes it is. But you keep getting in the way. So I gotta get rid of you."

And that's when the fight started. I could always tell you how she hit me, but I'm going to tell you a little story.

On pluto, I take self defense classes. I know, why would a princess need to know how to fight. Well, you never know, may come in handy. But I'm pretty sure your bored. So on to the fight.

Deathwing swung her feather sword at me and I ducked. The sword ended up slicing a studio light in half.

When I ducked, I was bending down so I wrapped my arms around Deathwing's waist and tackled her too the ground. Now that I was on top of her I got on my knees and started to punch her over and over again.

Deathwing managed to lay on her side and kicked my knees making me fall on the ground again. She hovered over me and was about to punch me when I threw a lightning bolt at her making her fly back and hit the cement walls.

Time to end this, that's a quote by the way.

Sorry it took so long to update. But on the bright side, supergirl the tv show is coming back so I'll have more inspiration since the idea of Lightning came from it. Hell, I don't think Lightning would exists if it wasn't for that show.

More updates coming soon.

Bye.
