"So wait you're saying they were arguing over who got to kiss you first?" Gabie scoffs and I frown.
"Yeah, but I didn't understand why. It's not like it was gonna be my first kiss," I grumble. "To end it I just had to kiss them all in quick successi...

"It is now clear that the Siren of New York is Allie Hollden from Illinois and Quiver is her friend Gabie Trent."
"All footage of the rape of Allison Hollden has been declared illegal to watch and distribute."
"Tonight a rape survivors march through the center of New York and around Stark Tower will take place in support of the Siren."
"It has been decided that no charges will be pressed against Allison Hollden for the death of Aldrich Killian."
"Unfortunately footage of the Siren's torture is circulating throughout the internet, going viral each time a new video is posted."
"Skilled hackers lead by Tony Stark have begun efforts of erasing all video of Allison Hollden from the internet but their attempts seem to be failing."
"In this video, you can see Siren kill Aldrich Killian with her powered scream combined with fire? Apparently, the Siren is now an Extremis super soldier. How do we know she won't blow at any minute?"
My eyes widen at the multitude of tv screens, all playing different newscasts, all reporting on me.
Video of me burning Killian, being burned by Killian, getting transported, while I was unconscious, and one even plays footage of him shoving me down just before he used me. Video I had no idea existed until now.
My untraceable Stark phone falls from my hand onto the floor and my tears soon follow.
How did he? How did Killian have this broadcast?
How many people have seen me at my worse moments? How many people have watched what he did to me?
Quickly I pick up my phone and flee from the Walmart.
I have to go, keep moving.

About A Week Later
Death Valley Motel

"It has now been thirteen days since the disappearance of Allison Hollden from Stark Tower. She was last seen at a Walmart outside of New York City."
Screeching tires and frantic cries drag my attention from the tv playing in the motel lobby.
The hero in me urges me to sprint outside to find the around of the distress.
It's a sobbing woman, calling her husbands name.
Her husband appears to have sped off with another woman.
"Miss what's wrong?"
"My husband he just up and left me! He drove off with some medieval chick!" she explains breathlessly. "JONATHAN!" She's crying and walking all at the same time.
I can feel her distress without even touching her.
"He wouldn't have left me! He must have been threatened! We just got married!"
I reach for her hands and arms, attempting to soothe her erratic movements. It's then she really looks at me.
"You're Siren, well Phoenix they're calling you now," she breathes and my heart clenches. "You'll help me right?"
I stare at her blankly, I'm not even sure I am a hero anymore. How can I ever feel in control again after what happened? How can I ever feel powerful again?
