Extra + Ordinary [ Adventures Of Maddie and Madam Shelby]

Chapter 1: Introduction

Maddie was an ordinary teenaged girl, but she has a secret that no one knew about. She was superhuman! With her extraordinarily rare powers, she went in disguise as Madam Shelby. Sadly, the name was only meant for when the rare time comes of her actually getting caught while doing super heroic acts like preventing vehicles from crushing or other disasters. That wasn't the only thing she used her powers for. Maddie also fights evil, tainted "Lamos" who were lured in by the ruthless and cruel Agnoks—demonic beings that look to human souls as a food source. She had it rough with all the fighting and her already busy social life. Sometimes she had missed school because she overslept after her exhausting missions, or she missed her Student Council meetings when she was saving humans from natural disasters.

"One day..." she sighed while continuing, "just one day of peace and relaxation!" All of that stress had really gotten to her, but she made sure to keep on a smile and stay strong. Many looked up to her, so she wanted to make sure she can be the best role model. Though she tried her very best to hide all her pain, she was an open book to her parents. Whenever they asked her what was wrong, she shoved them away and locked herself in the bedroom. 'I don't want them to know what's been going on with my life. They'd never be able to understand. They'll probably think I'm a freak... no one can know my secret.' Maddie thought to herself as she laid on her bed.

Finally, her parents had enough of their daughter's secrecy and really pushed it this time. "Sweetie, you need to tell us what's wrong, or we'll never be able to help you!" Her mother, Merlia Jannath, stated as Maddie came into the kitchen to set up dinner after the usual of living two lives.

"It's nothing mom. I'm just having it rough, is all." She said while placing down the plates and forks. 'Hm, where is the pitcher? Oh right, the fridge, dumbass...'

"Really, sweetie? Is that really all? I've heard from the school that you've been missing quite a few of your club meetings. They said you might get kicked out. Mind telling me what's going on with that?" Merlia sternly asked while giving Maddie the 'eye'.

"Um... I ALWAYS WENT TO THE ALLEY NEAR MELLOW ST. TO FEED AN ABANDON CAT!" Maddie shouted out from nervousness as this was her first time every coming up with such a lie to tell her parents. Most of her lies were actually pretty good and weren't this...generic.

"Huh? Then could you tell us, lovely daughter, why you keep waking up so late?" Shahin Jannath had finally spoken up.

"Homework. Too much work to catch up on. Though, it's getting easier to do now. Most likely because I'm getting used to the flow now." Maddie calmly replied, almost surprising herself. 'It's no lie, all the homework I've been getting is a bit too much for me as I'm always busy saving people. Glad I resorted to keeping this city safe and not the whole country.' She wasn't enough to save everyone in an entire city, so helping out the entire country is already far beyond her capabilities. That's why she resorts to smaller ones like petty crimes and injured animals, but there are times when she goes to help with saving people that were hit with natural disasters or something to that scale. Her heroic acts get noticed a lot and raised quite a lot of suspicion, but she is somehow able to get past it all.

Maddie's parents weren't completely satisfied with their daughter's answers though they let her go for they knew she was already too exhausted. Mrs. Jannath calls out for the two younger children as she takes out her famous lasagna. Though she wasn't a properly educated cook, her meals tasted of a world-known chef's. 'She could always make simple dishes the most tastiest in the world.' The young hero thought as she placed down the pitch of water.

"pWooSh!" A little kid, the height of a baseball bat, came running into the room with slime in his hands.

"Mommy, mommy! I have goo on my hands!" Kyle said as he kept playing with the blue slime on his hands.

"Ugh, mommy, why's Kyle my twin? He's soooo annoying and gwoss!" Lilith, the other twin said. She had a snarky attitude, unlike Kyle who was adorable and naive, she always made sure to point out what was wrong and 'bad' in her eyes without caring about anyone else's opinion. This caused her to have a lot of friends in her class, but they were what you called 'fake.' If she didn't fix that attitude and find herself a better group of friends, she'll soon be left out and all alone. As her sister and an awesome hero, Maddie plans on fixing that...

"Daaaddy! Lilith is being a meanie again! She won't even allow me to draw with her crayons." Kyle cried out to mother and started to put the slime up to Lilith's face.

Kyle seemed to be better at pronouncing things, but that was most likely because his father tried to push Lilith to speak more Bangla as it was his mother-tongue. This also meant Lilith had a stronger Bangla accent. His mother didn't like that and kept scolding her husband, but he never listened. He was afraid she would turn out like Maddie who barely knew a wink of Bangla.

Maddie's POV
"Hmph, that's actually pretty reasonable since you broke every single one of hers last time she let you borrow them." I quickly butted into the conversation as both dad and mom looked like they were about to snap any second.

"Hey! That's because they were so weak. Weak crayons deserve to be broken!" Kyle said as he pouted. He then turned his back towards, with his slime in his hands, and went back into his room—probably going to put that icky-ness back.

"This is why we should just put him outside forever! Da big mouses would love to eat trash like him." Lilith ruthlessly declared while taking a seat at the table. My mother then glared at father with angry eyes as if he was the cause of her bratty attitude. Kyle came back with a sour expression placed upon his face, and waited for mom to place him onto his chair. He was ridiculously short, confusing people of his age. He's 8, just like Lilith. The same day, same hour, same month, same year. Everything except the minutes. Lilith was 10 minutes earlier. Gosh, I wonder how it felt like to have twins. Must hurt like hell... ugh.

My mom and dad were businessmen as my far as my knowledge goes, and they're very busy most of the times. Which is why I don't have much time to talk to them properly most of the time. More than once, they were too busy to attend my parent conferences. It never really bothered me too much as I was able to use a simple illusion spell to trick my teacher. Somehow, they never found out, and I was able to use it for almost all my conferences. I had to keep some for my parents, so they didn't wonder why there was such a lack of them.

They seem to have gone to school with many soon-to-be-famous, well-off people, so they had pretty good friends to lean on if they needed to, though they were a bit too prideful for that. That's probably where I got my 'solo-potato' ways from. Anyway, they were pretty good at their work and sometimes pushed me to try out picking up some of it, but it bore me, so I always kindly declined.

I'd rather stay be a superhero or maybe work to become a well-known marine biologist. Besides saving people's lives, getting rid of evil, and having fun adventures, I loved marine life. It interested me, though my likes will probably change later on. I'm interested in many things. Few others were dancing and singing. I was in a performance club before I quit from the lack of time.

At this moment, I am in 4 different clubs: NHS, Student Council, Deep Sea, and Foreign Languages. I've learned up to 9 languages fluently thanks to my super growth skill. It allows me to grow in a particular area of skill in a crazy short amount of time. If I was able to spend just a bit more than 3 hours every week, I might've learned much more than just 9. In Deep Sea, we haven't really done much since it's still a pretty new addition to the already plethora of clubs our school contains.

After dinner, I helped my mom clean up I went back to my room to finish my homework and patrolled the area. When night fell, I used my illusion magic and patrolled through the night. My powers warn me of any immediate danger around the area, but I still patrol the night for any minor incidents.
