Chapter 11
Chandra's POV
Well, my main hoe just ditched me. For her cousin. Yay! Note the sarcasm. At least she's okay. At least she bothered to contact us. To explain everything. Unlike Steven. He knew about his powers his whole life. Jules didn't know how to use them. Now that I know everything, it all makes sense.
Julia was never bothered by the cold. She was always the fastest runner in gym class, and had amazing reflexes. She also loved learning about electricity and energy. She was always the smartest person I knew. She grew up with a family of geniuses. Howard Stark, Tony Stark, Cisco Ramon, Caitlin Snow, Carla Tannhauser, etc.
Julia wasn't in CIA (California Institute of the Arts) just for her singing. She is a genius. Like the rest of her family. She especially loved Inferno Dynamics and Quantum Mechanics. (did anyone else get these references?) She is my best friend.
Steven called me.
S: Hey Chandi.
C: Hey Steven. What are you doing?
S: I'm assuming Julia told you everything so I'll just tell you. I'm on earth 2, visiting my aunt and uncle.
C: That must be so cool.
S: Not really. You have to dress all formal and shit and it's not comfortable.
I laughed
S: I called for a reason. Can I come over? Like, soon?
C: Sure but give me time to get ready. So like, 30 minutes. Also open a whatever you call it a block away from my house and just walk the rest of the way here.
S: Kay. Bye my main hoe.
C: Know your place Steven. Jules is my main hoe, you're my side hoe.
Steven mumbled something. I got really confused.
C: Bye side hoe.
S: Bye!
I quickly showered, threw on a beige sweater, a pair of black high- waisted shorts, my black converse, and styled my hair naturally yet still kind of messy. Soon, Steven texted me he was at my front door. I ran down stairs to meet him, while calling out to my sister I was hanging out with a friend.
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"I should just get strait to the point, right? Chandra, I really like you. I was wondering if you'd go out on a date with me?"
"Of course!"
"Wait you said yes?"
I laughed.
"Yes, I would love to go on a date with you."
"At least I won't be a side hoe anymore."
"You suck"
"And you swallow"
"Why do I still talk to you?"
"Because you love me."
"Unfortunately."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow at eight, is that okay for you?"
"Yeah. Also, what did you mumble on the phone?"
"We were talking about main hoes and side hoes and I was saying I wouldn't be a side hoe for long since I was gonna ask you on a date...."
"huh. Jules may be a side hoe now."
Steven had the biggest smile on his face.
"Bye, see you tomorrow!"
"See ya."
I was walking back inside when a breach opened. Inside wasn't Jules or Steven, it was some guy with a flaming skull as his head.
I ran towards Steven, who was walking away from my house.
"St-Steven!"
"Chandi?"
I turned him around and he didn't even look scared by the guy.
"Robbie, why are you here?"
The guy, Robbie, I assume, was getting his face back.
"SHIELD. Also sorry for appearing in your house! Steven, Chandra, we need to talk. The president is making all people in government jobs and people related to them breathe in a safer version of the terrigen crystal. This version is safe to regular people, so if you're not inhuman, you won't die.
"Us three are required to take it. Steven is a meta human, not inhuman so he still has to take it. I have a demon inside of me, and I'm not inhuman, and so far Chandra doesn't have any powers."
"Okay, just hurry up and break the crystal. I really don't want my sister to see us."
Robbie stepped on the crystal, and as soon as I took my first breath I was encased in rock. As soon as I was fully covered I also broke out of it. Well fuck. I'm an inhuman.
"Hey Chandi, it's okay. I have friends who go through this. Drew went through this. You'll be okay."
"I trust you Steven. I'll do whatever you say."
"Good. Follow Robbie and I."
Robbie and Steven both created breaches, Steven's being blue waves and Robbie's being red-orange sparks. I jumped through Steven's and we appeared on the SHIELD helicarrier.
"What is a civilian doing here?"
"Director, she's an inhuman."
"Take here to one of the inhuman rooms."
"Yes sir."
"Wow Steven I've never seen you take orders from someone. It's kinda hot"
"Shut up Chandra."
I laughed at him.
"So, your training starts tomorrow. So we can see what your powers are."
"Yay! I totally want to start training! Exercise is just the best thing in the world!"
"It'll be fun."
"It'll only be fun if I get to kick your ass."
