"We need your help."
"With what?"
"We want to go public."
"You mean, have the Mentes known to the human race?" She nodded solemnly and I swear I could tell the words about to escape her mouth before she even spoke, but I had to ask a question, "Why do you need me?"
"We need you as the face of this."
"What do you mean?"
"Like, show your powers to the world. Catch robbers, save people from murderers, solve crimes, anything to show off your powers and that we are good."
"So, you want me to play hero?"
"That's exactly what we want."

When Sam gets kicked out of her home for being able to control the elements life could not have taken a bigger turn. She almost immediately gets involved with an entire group of people the same as her, Mentes. And when they ask her to be the face of their new revolution she can't help but say yes.
Yet all throughout this she has to discover the ins and outs of college while making memories with friends without showing them her powers, well all her friends except one.
And through all this she even gets her own 'mortal enemy' as the world would like to put it, or maybe, just maybe, the only person that understands her.
This isn't your classic superhero and supervillain book, the lines are blurred and it will keep you guessing until the last moment while tearing your heart out at the same time.

{Set before X Men, then skipping into X2) Sierra Storm was always an anomaly among her peers. She always wanted nothing more for herself, to just be normal. When she manifested her powers at the age of 12, she was so terrified to find out that she wasn't normal. Until one day, Charles Xavier tracked her down, to tell her or confirm to her rather, that she was in fact a mutant, a very, very powerful one at that. She was brought to the Xavier's School for the Gifted, and she was accepted and integrated into the school, despite her doubts and all of her misgivings about being a mutant and especially a powerful one like Charles said about her. She was not expecting to find two boys there, that had all complete oppositional mutations who also happened to be best friends. One had the mutant name Iceman or Bobby, while the other was Pyro, or John as he had been called since birth. They quickly gave her the nickname Element, after realizing that she had many useful abilities and they were all related to the elements. They also found out very quickly enough to their pleasure, after accidents around the school, that by combining their gifts of their specific elements to hers, that they could create something even more powerful then what they already had on their own. Sierra was not one to scare easily, especially not when it came to being snuck up on, but there is one thing that has always scared her, and that always will scare her. Losing the acceptance of her family. Human or Mutant Normal or Different The only thing Sierra ever wanted, was a family. Book One in the [Elemental Series] I own nothing in this book except for the plotlines revolvin' around Sierra that don't appear in the movies or the comics. Also, Sierra Storm is entirely my own, and i will not tolerate plagiarism.
