You know how they always say to never meet your heroes, well, whoever it was who said that, they must have known what they were talking about. They couldn’t have been less correct. 

We all know the basic survival skills of life, certain precautions you take in everyday life, like not walking in the middle of a busy street. But some things, you just can’t plan for, like you accidentally stepping into an alternate universe and meeting your favorite superhero. But, we’re getting a little ahead of ourselves, let’s start where all good stories do, at the beginning. 

I woke up just like a normal day, in my normal life. I looked at my clock. Looks like I’m gonna be late, again. I had fallen asleep late last night reading a comic about a bunch of kid superheroes or something like that. Dressed in a pair of white shorts, a comic-tee, and converse, and playing with the necklace my biological mother gave me, I walked downstairs.
I learned a long time ago on how to cover up my gills and scales. There were a few words in a different language that I had to recite for my gills to be covered up, in a sort of mist.

 I greeted my parents and ruffled my little sister's hair, earning a groan. I scooped my cold cereal into my mouth, grabbed my bag, and bolted out the door. 

I have a good life, my family loves me, I have good friends, and an overall average life. My mother gave birth to me on October 1st, 1989. And, unbeknownst to me, my mother wasn’t pregnant when she woke up that same morning. I knew there was something weird about me, and not the cute, quirky kind. Every once in a while I would wake up in a cold sweat, rush to the bathroom and vomit into the toilet. it felt as if I just had a nightmare, but I can never remember what it was. There was always a strange tugging sensation, but I had always rushed back to bed before the thought could linger.

 Coming up out of my thoughts, and into the real world, I stepped off my school bus and walked into the large building, called Winchester County Middle School. There are about a thousand kids going to school there, at least it felt like it. I stuck with my two friends, Clary and Simon. They were both pretty cool people, definitely not popular, but not at the bottom of the  food chain. Average.

The day had been normal, until my fifth period class. It was math class, my favorite class. I was really good at math, even had to bump up a few grades because of it.  The class began with my teacher, Mr. Henry James Anderson, banging his book on the table to get our attention.
 All of a sudden I felt an intense tugging sensation, not just on one part of my body, everywhere, the feeling trickled into my bones. I never had any of  my episodes during the day, but this was much worse than the ones that I've had in the past. I decided to face my fears, get up from my chair, and go where the sensation was leading me. I grabbed my bag and started to wander around the school, trying to make sense of the navigation. I stopped at the girls bathroom on the second floor of the first building. 

I stopped sprinting. I had slowly walked into the bathroom and saw the scene in front of me, there was a big hole in the wall. The hole didn’t show the outside for the school though, it was black inside. It was lined with a blue light, and I was very drawn towards it. The portal mocked and teased me, I cocked my head. There was a scene inside of the black hole, well, it wasn’t much. It was a fallen city, fires everywhere, and--a boy. I felt the same tug at my very soul again, and with all the thoughts racing through my mind, I knew jumping into the hole was a not-so-great idea, but nevertheless,  with all the adrenaline coursing through my veins, I jumped through the void.
