My name is Robin Swift and I'm a superhero...
...Or at least I try to be, I may not be the most experienced or the most well known but as long as I try my best that's all that matters right. At least that's what my best friend always tells me...
"ROBIN!!! ROOOOOBIN!!!!, yo, earth to Robin...", I could hear the aggravated voice of my best friend over the comms as I broke out of my daydream.
"Sorry Jem, what were you saying?" I said missing what she was saying and hoping she wasn't too mad at me for it.
"Finally, with you not answering for so long Ro I thought you had gone and flown yourself into the moon or something", Jem said joking,... I hope.
"Haha Jem, like I would do that, and anyway even if I did I would hope you would teleport and come get me if I was ever in trouble," I said even though I knew my friend wasn't a big fan of using her powers and don't know why though but I understand.
I don't think most people are big fans of using their powers, you know with them being linked to our biggest fears and all, but my friend Jem she especially doesn't like using her powers. See Jem, has a fear of leaving her comfort zone, that makes her power teleportation, she can teleport anywhere and can make portals, which I think is a pretty cool power but she never wants to use it.
My power, however, is that I can fly, yay I know it's very exciting, you can probably guess what my biggest fear is...
... Its birds, their beaks are just terrifying and their claws can rip your whole face off...
...I'm joking. I love birds, they are my favourite animal, no my fear is heights and falling and falling from a height and...
...you get the idea.
Jem may not like using her powers but me on the other hand, after being afraid of them for most my life, one I say I just thought why should we worry over our powers when we could use them for good and to help people feel less scared, and maybe get over our fears in the meantime. So that's basically why I decided to become a superhero, I mean how hard could it be?
Anyway, sorry about that little tangent there, where was I... oh yea that's right...
"Me? Teleport to the moon, ha never." said Jem "I wouldn't even use my powers to teleport home right now". "Annnnyway", Jem trying to change the subject, "What had you so deep in thought I had to call you liiiike, I dunno... 54 times to get your attention or were you just daydreaming again?".
I was quite offended by that comment from my best friend, "Me? Daydream? When have I ever done that?" I said defensively.
Jem quickly chimed in with "How about last week in Mr Thompson's maths class, you could practically hear you daydreaming about being the world's greatest superhero,", she said mockingly.
"Again defensively I replied with, "I think you'll find I wasn't daydreaming about being a superhero, and I resent that comment," even though that is something I spent a lot of time doing.
"Oh yea, I'll believe that when hell freezes over," Jem said, presumably smirking because I couldn't see her face at this time.
At this time I was currently practising flying around where I lived in the city of Eternia Heights, so I could train myself to fly faster and get around more efficiently. We were also doing this so Jem could practise talking to me using the comms made by our friend Jack who was also working on another project to help us on our adventures.
Jack helps us with any tech we may need, see Jack is a huge technophobe, doesn't even own a mobile phone and refuses to use the computers at school and hand writes all his homework and essays. But his power is that he can create and control all technology, understand how it works and he can build pretty much any machine or device you could imagine. Kinda makes him perfect for our little superhero team, he is also an amazing friend for helping us out even though it means confronting his fear.
Oops, sorry another tangent, back to the story...
"Come on, Ro its been 2 months since you decided you wanted to become a superhero is this all you think about or do you actually do other things like I don't know our maths homework ", she said with a hint of sarcasm, which frankly sarcasm is my thing and how dare she take it.
"Yeah, Yeah yeah I know Jem, I'm on my way back now, then we can work on that homework from maths," I said with my distaste for math evident in my voice.
"Yea, you sure you know what you're doing on it, since you know you were daydreaming during the lesson" my cheeky best friend replied.
"Not really, but I mean, how hard could it be?" I said as I arrived back at my window and climbed into my bedroom.
My bedroom is quite small with dark blue walls, covered in musical and movie posters, with my bed in the corner filled with about 6 pillows of various shapes and colours and a big comfy blanket. I have my desk and laptop in the other corner with my best friend sitting at it as she switches off our comms equipment for the night. I also have a massive bookshelf filled with comic books and superhero movies, but it's a lousy collection compared to Jems collection of geek movies and memorabilia, seriously it's like she lives in a comic book store. In fact the ones I have were borrowed form her, since I had decided to do some research into superheroes. I jump on my bed and Jem leaves my desk chair and walks over to me.
"Ready for some maths" I'm greeted by my friend who claps her hand together as she says that and as she also sits on my bed.
The rest of the night was spent working on maths with Jem and me trying to convince her to join me in becoming a superhero and going out into the field. Unsuccessfully I may add.
"No, Ro I'm not going with you in your adventure of becoming a superhero, you might very well get yourself killed," Jem said, fed up with me asking. But do you think I'll stop...
... Never!

Soooooo, chapter one, the story has begun. Jem is low key based on me. Like the only thing about me based her on was her looks, personality, her love of all things geeky as well as everything else about her. Especially her sarcasm. :)
Anyway hope you have a great day or week or month or even a year!
