From Pickpocket to Avenger

Chapter 1

Some people aren't normal. Some of them are really smart or really strong or other things. The normal kind of strange. I wish I was like them because I'm strange in the way that makes people run in terror. It all started on a school trip to the aquarium, you may ask how I found out I was strange in an aquarium? I'll tell you. These kids bullied me, they threatened to throw me in a shark tank. The water pulled them into the tank. No one was hurt but let's just say they left me alone from then on.

That was only my first power, from then on I discovered and tried to control new powers. I found I could control the other elements, my senses had improved drastically, I was stronger and faster than ever before. As well as some other things like controlling lightening and storms. I won't list them all because it would take too long and I don't have the time to sit down and list them right now.

It all started when I was nine and kidnaped. I have no idea what happened when I was taken because I don't remember what happened and the police couldn't find whoever had taken me. I returned after month like nothing had happened, from then I was never the same. As no one was arrested I was always looking over my shoulder in case whoever it was decided to come back. They gave me these powers for a reason and I don't think they'd let me go with these powers unless it was part of their plan.

Once the police and hospitals said I was alright, I took as many self-defence classes as I could and did track as well. Then when I was done with doing track I did parkour because it looked fun. In all of this time my parents remained oblivious to my powers and what I was capable of. Sometimes I thought about telling them but then again bad things could happen if I did so I never did.

When I did tell them about a year after I had been kidnaped, they freaked out and kicked me out of the house. I climbed the drainpipe and barricaded my bedroom door while I packed my stuff. From then on I slept on the streets of New York, well, when I say streets I mean rooves because who would think to look on a roof for someone. It also gave me the advantage as I knew them so well and a good vantage point. No one looked for me so it was actually quite nice on my own.

Because I was fast and agile I found I made an amazing pickpocket. I didn't want to do it but I needed money and I only chose rich people who looked like they could lose some money without going bankrupt. It's wrong but I don't really do much harm. These people could survive losing some money but I need that money more than they do. I don't mean to quote a Disney character but 'gotta steal to eat, gotta eat to live.' Now, I kind of live by that phrase.
