     Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok. So maybe I am Olympia, the daughter of a infamous supervillain and one of the best jewel thief in history. Maybe I just so happen to live in a volcano. Maybe I go to school in a helicopter every day. Maybe I was born with devil horns and a matching tail. Maybe I like wearing shirts with skulls on it. But that doesn't make me a supervillain. Does it?

     As far as I'm concerned, I've never broken any rules. Well... there was that one time when I broke into the school over the weekend to boost my scores on the finals so I could pass 5th grade, but that was years ago. And well, I suppose there was that one time I broke into a military base to steal a rocket launcher because I thought it looked cool. And got away with it. When I was 12. But if it makes you feel any better, I ended up stealing the prototype version (which was a huge bummer). And I may or may not have stolen a lollipop from the grocery store. Twice. But that's it, I promise. Except that one time... ok nevermind. You get the idea. 

     In other words, I'm the opposite of criminal. I've never broken a law in my entire life and I intend to keep it that way. Infact, I am a sidekick to one of the most famous superheros of all time: Alter! He has superhuman abilities. You know, super strength, the ability to jump really high, eyes can adjust to the dark faster, breath underwater and in outer space, he can fly, and he can shoot energy beams out of his hands. You know, kinda like Superman, but without the laser eyes. And then of course, you've got his sidekick: Miss Infinity, aka me. I can, uh, I have these awesome high tech wings that allow me to fly for a short period of time and I've got night vision goggles, and I've got boots that have springs that allow me to jump really high and release steam that makes me hover, and I've got loads of high tech weapons. I prefer my twin pistols though. They can shoot bullets, small bombs that explode on impact, and miniature traps that include poisonous gas, electricity, and capturing nets. 

     I've gotta say, life is pretty good. I'm about to start high school soon and I can't wait to see what's in store for me!

Miss Infinity: You have got to be kidding me. 

   I watched as Alter, who was just an inch close to catching Dr. Hack, the villain responsible for hacking through the government's firewall and letting criminals raid their base, stop and tie his shoes. That's right! He was just about to get him when he suddenly stopped, asked Dr. Hack to "wait a second" (as if he would actually stick around) and tied his shoes!

Miss Infinity: Seriously, Alter! You can just fly after him! You were sooooo cloooose!

I banged my head against the nearest wall I could find before starting to chase after him myself.

Alter: Wait you two. I'm almost done. 

Miss Infinity: Oh. My. Gobble wonker! He's getting away! You see that? That airplane that's about to take off? Dr. Hack is inside, fastening his seatbelt, and about to get away with stolen government property while you are down here tying your shoes. If our gonna waste time like that then get some shoes that don't have laces!

Alter: I couldn't do that! Shoes with laces are in style right now. I can just fly after him. 

Miss Infinity: That's what I just said! 

     Before now, I had never realized how long a human could possibly take tying shoes, and let me just say, it wasn't very fast. So here I am, waiting for my stupid idiot of a partner to tie his shoes. It wasn't until the plane was passing overhead did he finally decide to go after the plane, without me. To be honest, I was in a rush today because I had been procrastinating on a group project that is due tomorrow and nobody else in my group has done anything yet, so I needed to get it all done tonight. My grade was in danger enough by itself and I did not need a repeat of 5th grade and with a list of unexcused lates a mile long, 8th grade wasn't looking too promising. If it was up to me, I would have left right then and there to go home and finish the slideshow, but I wanted at least some credit for the capture of Dr. Hack, and most importantly, I needed to babysit Alter to make sure he doesn't get abducted by aliens or something.

And that's when a UFO flew above me.
