Adopting The Superhero

Chapter 5

Nyssa's pov

"Where have you been?" Luke demands as soon as I walk through the front door. I frown, confused. Do they actually care?

"We have an interview in like twenty minutes. We have to go!" Ashton yells, immediately pulling me right back outside of the house. That's what it is. They need their orphan for an interview. I allow myself to be dragged out to the car

"She's adorable, boys," Kathy gushes, trying to avoid me in a pointless attempt of convincing herself that I'm not even here. I roll my eyes and cross my arms. Ashton notices my behavior and nervously nudges me, trying to get me to sit up and be polite. I pretend that I'm Kathy and ignore him like she ignores me. "So what made you guys want to adopt Alyssa?" Kathy continues.

I snort, "That's not even close to my name." She rolls her eyes at me.

Luke cuts in, "We decided to adopted Nyssa because, well-" He couldn't find a reason. Michael, Calum, and Ashton were all quiet. I roll my eyes and decide to help these poor boys before their publicity stunt was uncovered.

"Well Kathrine," I start, giving her a nasty look, "the boys decided to adopt me because I have been in that orphanage ever since I was a baby. They met me, and we hung out a little bit and it turns out that we have a lot in common." I don't know which boy looks the most grateful.

"What sort of things do you have in common?" She inquires, glaring back at me. Before I can answer, our interview is interrupted by breaking news. Viper (a.k.a hologram me) has stopped a robbery. I smirk to myself, knowing that whoever tried to rob the bank got scared enough to surrender just by seeing me. That hologram might come in handy more often than I originally thought.

"Twenty minute break while they cover the Viper story, people," the producer, Mike something, announces. The audience starts talking loudly, trying to get the boys to go over to them for pictures and autographs. I walk backstage, desperately in need of some sugar. I find the snack table pretty easily and immediately go for the Oreos, happy in my own little world.

I am halfway through a pack of Oreos when Michael and Ashton walk over.

"Thank you so much for covering for us back there," Ashton exclaims, grabbing a bag of chips. I shrug and continue to munch on my Oreos.

"Can you believe that those robbers stopped after seeing Viper," Michael shrieks, not even bothering to control his inner fanboy. I smile a little bit. His crush on Viper was cute.

"She is pretty intimidating. I'd probably pass out if I was being challenged by Viper. She'd kick my ass for sure," Ashton admits. I laugh at thought of me having to kick Ashton's ass. Well if the boys ever forget to tell me about an interview then yell at me for being late again then I am going to have to kick all of their asses.

"Guys!" Calum calls, waving us back over, "It's almost time for the show to come back." Ashton and I finish up our food and check our teeth before following Michael and Calum back over to the set.
