"Hey Brooklyn, what's your first period?" Freddy asked as he catches up with her at her locker. "I'm in English class actually. I'm on my way there right now." Brooklyn smiles at the brown curly haired boy as he stares at the brunette beauty.
"So are you and Billy close?" He asked Brooklyn. "Yeah. I mean, we used to be when we we're kids. I remember when he used to tell me this fantasy stories, when I couldn't fall asleep. And he and I would put up a fort in our room pretending we went camping." Freddy chuckles but Brooklyn's face completely dropped.
She missed the times she and Billy would play together, or tell each other secrets. But she knew that some siblings drift apart from one another and she had to admit that.
"Wanna have lunch with me?" Freddy asked. "Sure, but we to finish our classes Freddy." She chuckles as they both walked to class together. During class, Brooklyn felt her chest tightening up, she tried to explained but her breathing became more weaker than it used to.
"Freddy." Brooklyn wheezes. That's when she finally blacked out. When she woke up she saw everyone surrounding her and she was breathing through a brown bag.
The teacher covered her with her jacket as she helped calm her down. The students thought she was a joke and caught it on video as Freddy looked scared.
"Just breathe Brooklyn. Just breathe." Brooklyn's breathing finally got back to normal, before the teacher sat her up and held her hand. "Is there anything I can do for you sweetie?" She asked politely.
"Can we finish the lesson. Please?" She begged as the teacher sighed and did what Brooklyn asked for. ~•~ "Brooklyn! Hey wait up. Are you okay?" Freddy asked the girl before she nodded her head and smiled. "The teacher said it was because my brain forgot to signal me and tell me to breathe. Is that weird?" She asked.
Freddy still looked worried but brushed it off after she was all good. They walked to lunch together and saw Billy sitting all by himself once they saw him. "Flight or invisibility? Which one would you choose?" Freddy asked, throwing his crutch lazily on the floor. Not even caring about it. "If you could have one superpower, flight or invisibility, what would you pick?" He asked again.
Brooklyn thought about it for a moment before she shrugged her shoulders and furrowed her eyes a bit. "Flight." Freddy dent Brooklyn a smile which she returned happily while Billy just glared at the two. She already has invisibility when she's around her brother, so why not?
"See? Everyone chooses flight okay? Not that it's wrong Brooklyn, because you wanna know why?" Freddy asked excitedly. "So they can fly away from this conversation?" Billy answered rudely. "Billy stop it!"
Brooklyn whispered. "No, cause heroes fly. But invisibility no way that's pervy! Spying on people who don't even know you're there, it's a total villain power right?!" He said that line a little to loudly because everyone was staring at him.
"Come on Freddy." Brooklyn motions as she gets up and follows Billy including Freddy. "And then they did this study. And this is a real thing. They asked people the same question, you know, what power do you want? But this time, they made it so the answers were anonymous. And...and most people since they knew their secret said invisibility. And I think that's cause most people don't feel like heroes on the inside deep down," Freddy rambled as the three came to a stop at the restrooms.
Billy went to walk into the bathroom while Brooklyn stopped beside Freddy. "You're going to run away," Freddy said and Billy paused in the doorway of the bathroom before looking back.
"I mean, you stole my Superman bullet," Freddy told him and Brooklyn immediately glared at her twin brother with her mouth opened. But on the other hand, how did Freddy know?
"And dude, I get it. I get it. You two have been screwed over way to many times. You, Billy, don't trust anyone, not even your own sister that's the thing about invisibility, you end up all by yourself."
The words that Freddy said made Brooklyn realize the truth, she didn't want to leave and be all by herself just to look for someone who never looked for them. She really needed a someplace to call home.
Billy scoffed and said. "I didn't take your dumb bullet!" He snaps and leaves to go to the bathroom leaving Brooklyn and Freddy all by themselves. "Your brother's a liar." Freddy looked back at Brooklyn. "He's been doing it since he was little."
"Wanna go back to the cafeteria with me?" He asked politely. "Sure." For the rest of the day, Freddy and Brooklyn has classes together and talked all day, not worrying about anything.
"And when Billy got out of the shower, he came straight to my room with a scowl on his face and his hair looked completely like how Joker's was. It was hysterical." Brooklyn laughs and walks down the steps of the school to see her other foster siblings there. But no Billy.
When he finally came, Mary asked him how did his day went. With no reply, she must've guessed it wasn't that good at all. "That good huh?" Brooklyn shakes her head in disappointment before continuing to walk with Freddy down the road.
Brooklyn was the first to see a black truck coming towards Freddy and thought fast and brought him to safety. But he landed on the ground and she got hit by the truck. She fell to the ground with adrenaline of pain rushing through her veins. "Oh my gosh, Brooklyn, are you okay?!" Mary asked as she picked her up.
"Yeah." Was all she said. Freddy was picked up by one of the boys and Brooklyn was yanked to the car by a red headed boy. "Woah, no way that's going to buff out. Are you two going to pay for that!"
Brooklyn was shoved to the car and her hair was being yanked, completely scaring her half to death. "For the dent you made almost hitting me and my friend? Yeah sure, do you guys take these?" Freddy asked flipping both of them off.
They fake laughed and threw Brooklyn and Freddy down on the ground before they started hitting them. "Brooklyn, are you okay?" Freddy asked her. "Yeah." Mary was shouting for them to stop but they just kept hitting Freddy and Brooklyn.
"What do you need your fake family to stand up for you? Just stand up for yourself!" Brett yelled. "What are you two going to do? Go home and cry to mommy, oh yeah, you don't have a mommy." They said causing everyone to laugh at them.
