Ella White, scientist

1

"Focus young one, focus is the key to winning." Says Sensei Aki as he watches me attempt to fight,

"I can't do it Sensei!" I yell as I try and hit my opponent but she blocks it

"Yes you can young one now focus!"

"Ah! Humph!" I yell as my opponent sweep kicks me and I fall flat on my ass

"Come on, Ella let's go get washed up and rest." Says Aimi helping me up, she was my opponent

I get up and we both head to the locker rooms in the dojo, I was born in Ohio, America and when I was 5 my parents died in a crash leaving me half dead and they say it's a merical that I didn't die but when I awoke I could become invisible and I healed really fast but I dare not speak of it, I would be hurt and ridiculed for it so it's my little secret, anyways when I was 8 I was adopted by this Japanese couple the Niaki's and they took me back to Japan and I was a very aggressive child so they enrolled me in karate when I was 9 and that's how I met Sensei Aki and Aimi, I am now 16 and I am still having troubles figuring out focus and concentration.

The next day I did the normal things except I stay at school a little late because I was conducting an experiment in science,

"Ella?" Asks my teacher Mrs. Suzuki,

"Yes Mrs. Suzuki?" I say looking up at her

"I have noticed you are especially infatuated with science and I have decided to bump you up to a more advanced science class, dose that sound good?"

"That sounds amazing Mrs. Suzuki." I say and she gives me a small smile and then looks down at the papers on her desk and begins to grade them,

An hour passed and I was still at the school working when I realized that I was 10 minuets late for karate so I packed up my stuff and ran out,

"I'll see you tomorrow Mrs. Suzuki!" I yell as I run out the door

"Have a good evening Ella!" She yells

"You to!"

I was halfway to the Dojo when three seniors jump in front of me causing me to come to a skidding stop

"What do you want Brutus?" I ask standing straight and tall trying to not look as terrified as I am, Brutus was a huge guy around 6'3 and he is my daily bully, He is from London, me and him were friends until we kind of drifted apart and he became my bully,

"I want you to suffer." He says giving me a wicked smile and cracking his knuckles while moving his head side to side,

"What did I ever do to you?"

"You got me kicked out of the dojo!" He yells which is kind of true what happened was he was using his abilities for bad, he would go around and start fights and a true warrior dose not start a fight they just defend themselves,

"Just go away Brutus."

"No." He say punching me straight in the nose, I grab it and bend over groaning,

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Yells a male voice from behind Brutus we all look over to see a boy our age a bit taller than me with short curly black hair and a black t-shirt and blue jeans, he looked American which could be possible we get a lot of tourists which would explain why I'd never seen him before,

"And what are you gonna do about it twerp?"

"I am Bruce Banner and I challenge you to a fight." Says the boy

"Alright Twerp I'll fight you."

They get into a fighting stance and Bruce takes the first punch giving Brutus a black eye, I take this opportunity to run and get Sensei to stop the fight,

"Get her!" Yells Brutus to his friends Reo and Asahi and they begin to chase me,

I round the corner and when I knew no one was looking I turned invisible and left the boys back there and confused, I got to the dojo and turn back where people couldn't see me and Sensei was teaching the class of ten people,

"Sensei there's a fight! You must stop it!" I yell tears begin to swell in my eyes but I quickly wipe them away to avoid embarrassment,

"Where is it, Ella?" He asks

"Fallow me."  I say and he fallows me along with the rest of the class to the fight,

We get there and Bruce is on the floor holding on to his arm,

"Bruce!" I yell running up to him

"I'm ok but you're bleeding uh." He answers

"Ella."

"Nice to meet you Ella."

"Nice to meet you to Bruce now let's get to a hospital."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Sorry for intruding the class Sensei, and I must apologize for missing this class." I say bowing to Sensei

"It's alright Ella now go and help your new friend." He says and we leave,

I help Bruce up and I walk him to a nearby hospital and it turns out He broke his arm and I broke my nose but it'll heal in an hour so I'll be fine,

"So Bruce what are you doing in Japan?" I ask as we walk to his place, his parents came but they had to head back early so we're walking,

"Eh, I don't know I guess I just came for some adventure." He says gesturing to our tiny town,

"But why here I mean you could walk ten feet from that bank to that hospital and then 4 miles to my dojo, no one even uses the bus."

"Yes But in the end I did get an adventure because look I have a broken arm now." He says gesturing to his arm and we both laugh,

"We're heading out in the morning, do you have a phone?"

"Oh yeah I'll just give you my number and we can call each other."

"Great uh so I guess this is goodbye."

"Yeah." I say scratching the back of my head and looking down at the ground and I kinda feel sad, even though I just met Bruce I feel like I've known him forever,

"Well I want to leave you with something." He says lifting up my chin and looking me in the eyes,

"What?" I ask and he bites his lip and then leans in and kisses me, I don't recon we did it right giving it's our first time but it still felt perfect.

He left in the morning with another farewell kiss and we kept in touch for about 4 years we both agreed we wouldn't label what we had and we were like best friends when I was 22 I had already finished collage do to my intelligence in math and science and when I told Bruce I was looking for work he said I could work for SHEILD and I gladly agreed because I thought I'd be fun to work together, plus someone has to keep an eye on Bruce.
