2009-New York

The Fall atmosphere of Central Park is amazing. Watching The autumn leaves fall to the ground. Plus the atmosphere is even more better for me superhearing and supervision. Seeing the inside of each and every human body is creepy but I got used to it.

1996-Kansas

"Can someone answer this...."
Everything was so visible. What is wrong with me? Am I crazy? Why am I like this?
"Lena.."
The class is too much. I can hear everything. Car sirens from 6 blocks away. People in the store down the street.
"Lena..."
Everything is to much. Am I breathing. I can't breathe. What is going on? Why can I see the teachers heart? I can see everyone's insides. Does everybody do this.
"Lena"
I can't do this...
"Lena are you ok?" The teacher asks me
"Leave me alone!!" I yell at the teacher and run out the class a sobbing mess.
I run inside a near by supply closet and lock the door so no one comes in. Warm tears still running down my cheeks. When are the voices gonna stop?
"Lena, I called your mom. You need to come out" the teacher says as she tried to open up the door.
Why can't she take a hint? I use my heat Ray on the door to make her stop and leave. I hear her yelp as I heat up the knob. But she still doesn't leave.
"She's such a freak"
"Her parents won't let her play with the other kids"
"What a weirdo"
The kids always whisper mean things about me. Everyday was the Same in school. Learn then go straight home.
"I'm here! I'm here" I hear my mom voice come closer to the closet
"Lena, Honey Its mom. Will you open up the door?"
Why can't anybody leave me alone? Why does this happens to me? What can I do?
"Sweetie. How can I help you if you won't let me in?" My mom voice helps
"The world is too big mom" I start to cry again as I hear more voices
"Then make it small. Just ummm...Pretend it's an Island...out in the ocean. Can you see it?"
The voices stops as I focus on her voice.
"I can see it" My breathing goes back to normal as I calm down.
"Swim towards it Honey"
DingDingDing!!
My Phone takes me out my Thoughts. Ugh it's time to go to hell. I plan on being early today since Perry always says I'm late. I get up from the park bench grab my computer bag and place it over my shoulder. I start to walk. The noise my heels make on the sidewalk annoys me. I leave out the park and on to the streets I go.
"When am I going to get paid Amy!" I hear a man shout in an near by alley. I walk closer to the altercation. It's a man with a beer belly, bald head , ugly taste in clothes, and a beard then there's a woman with a Starbucks uniform on and with firey red hair sticking out of the uniform hat. He grabs her by the collar of her shirt.
"Please I'll get you your money!" A tear runs down her eye. Lena your gonna be late to work. Damn, Perry is gonna be pissed. Let's help her anyways
"Back away from the young lady now sir" I yell as I walk closer to the man.
He drops the lady to the ground
"What are you gonna do about it Monkey?"
This guy really wants to get hurt, he yells and pushes a woman down to the ground then calls me monkey because of the color of my skin. Sorry Perry but I got to teach this guy a lesson.
"Just leave her alone and we don't have to find out" I help the girl up and push her behind me so the man can just focus on me.
He groans at my stubbornness. His eyes are dark with fury. He lifts up his fist to punch me. I close my eyes and wait for the impact. Did he even hit me? I open my eyes to see his fingers are broken from him trying to punch me. His mouth is wide open from the shock and the pain. He passes out.
He should've listened. I turn around to find the girl mouth open and eyes wide looking at me with shock just like the man.
"W-What a-are y-you?" She ask me stuttering
"A friend. My name is Lena by the way" I say as I dust the dirt off of the woman.
"M-My name is Amy" she holds her hand out for me to shake.
"You work at Starbucks?" Lena you dumbass can't you see the uniform.
"Yeah but I'm on Break. That was Dave. My land lord. B-But do you want a coffee. I-It's on the house" She asked me. I check my watch to see what time it is and I'm 10 mins late to work. So much for being early Lena.
"I can't Amy I'm already late for work but here..."
I take out my Notepad and my pen and I write down my address and my number down for her.
"If you need a place to stay here is my information" I hand her the paper and smile at her she takes the paper and mirrors my smile.
"It was nice meeting you" I say is I run out the alley and into the street. Ugh these heels are going to be the death of me.
I get to my work building and into the elevator.
"Lena! I'm glad you can finally make it!" Here comes the Perry criticism.
"Hey Perry" I smile at him
His smile unfortunately drops.
"Your 20 minutes late Lena. I'm supposed to be managing the highest new paper company in New York and I can't have my employees late to work everyday. Do better Lena" he exclaims
"Actually sir, I'm 17 minutes late"
"Your sass is unattractive Lena. You can be 17 minutes late at another job. Time is money Lena and your pockets doesn't look that big." He looks me up and down then goes into his office.
I go to my cubicle and start my daily article. Hours pass by. Do my same work routine like I do everyday. Type, write, eat lunch, bathroom, then type and write. Fun isn't it. Stay a kid while you can. After 6 hours of working I start to pack my belongs and....
"Lena Tomorrow on sports" Perry says as he lays his arm on my cubicle wall
"But-"
"I want you to follow up on football 'Underdog dreams dashed 10 yards Between Greatness and Glory'". He lifts his arms to dramatize his title. How pathetic.
"Ok Perry. Can I take me my leave now?"
He signals his hand for me to be dismissed. I walk out the building and into the chilly air. It feels good to be out of there. I start to walk home.

I enter my apartment building
"Hey George?"
I tap on the sleeping mans shoulder
"Huh Huh Huh! Oh Ms. Kent it's just you" he smiles at me tiredly. I giggle at his little outburst.
"Hey. I was wondering if I got any mail today"
"Ugh let me check." George starts to look in the desk drawers for the mail.
My eyes start to wonder around the setting. I look out side the door.
"Yeah she's here boss." The man is dressed in all black with black glasses on. He touching his ear while he talks. He must have a serious condition. We both make eye contact with each other then he walks away. Hmmp weird.
"Yeah. Here you go Ms.Kent" I'm not really fond of others calling me by my last name makes me makes me feel old. He hands me my mail
"Thanks. I'll catch you later" I smile at him and make my way to the elevator. Gosh my feet hurt.
I grab my keys out my pocket and put them into the my apartment door. I open it to my great home. Usually Pepper my cat runs out at me when I come out. Bum-Bumb Bum-Bumb. Another heartbeat is in my apartment. All I wanted to do is get comfortable and watch a freaking marathon of Family guy.
"Look! You came to the wrong place to rob somebody. I advise you to leave while you can!" I warn the intruder.
"Hello Ms. Kent" Again with the last name for Pete sake. I walk further into my apartment to find a man dressed in all black, he's African American just like me, and he has a eye patch with scratch marks around it sitting on my couch with Pepper in his arms rubbing her fur. Haha that's really manly and scary.
"That doesn't explain why your in my apartment, on my furniture, with my cat." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"I'm Nick Fury. The Director of S.H.E.I.D and I'm here to talk about your arrival in 1989 and The Avengers initiative."
