Other Half Of Me Chapter 1

I was busy entertaining at the New York City bar  by singing ‘Friday I’ll Be Over U’ by Allison Iraheta

“Oh yeah!

Monday, Tuesday

We were cool

Wednesday I found out 'bout you

Caught my heart by tellin' lies

You weren't what you advertised

Silly me to believe

Oh Oh Oh

I was unique

When I'm there you put on a show

Oh Oh Oh

You gotta go

'Cause what's true about you?

Who are you when I'm gone?

Wanted to be with you

Don't know what I was on

'Cause you got me to forget me

Oh Oh Oh you know that'a true

Yeah you got me to forget me

So Friday I'll be over you

Oh yeah!

No, no I ain't gonna cry

Go and be with her tonight

I really don't care what you do

'Cause Friday I'll be over you

And Silly me to believe

Oh Oh Oh

I was unique

When I'm there you put on a show

Oh Oh Oh

You gotta go

'Cause what's true about you?

Who are you when I'm gone?

Wanted to be with you

Don't know what I was on

'Cause you got me to forget me

Oh Oh Oh you know that's true

Yeah you got me to forget me

So Friday I'll be over you

Oh yeah!

Oh yeah!

Silly me, to believe

When I'm there you put on a show

[Oh oh]

'Cause you got me to forget me

[Whoaa]

To forget me [to forget me]

Oh Oh Oh you know that's true

So Friday I'll be over you 

Just then my boss walked up to me as I was finishing the last of the song

“There are two men here that want to talk with you Ember” I sighed, and wondered what they could possibly want with me I walked over to the table where the two gentlemen sat

“You must be Ember” The almost tall brunette said to me I narrowed my honey brown eyes as I looked at them

“Can I help you with something?” I asked them

“You have a unique gift” The tall one spoke

“Erik I doubt she knows”  The first brunette said to the man called Erik

“Will you stop talking about me as if I’m not even here” A small spark came to my right hand followed by some electricity; the one called Erik looked at me smiling

“Charles I think she knows of her gift” I looked at Erik slightly confused ‘What gift?’ I thought to myself 

“What gift I sing, but I’ve heard people better then me on Broadway” Charles just chuckled

“Oh my dear you have so much to learn” This man Charles was starting to piss me off

“Excuse me I know plenty Mr. Charles” I said getting angry that  electricity  formed around in my right hand Erik’s smile fell, and his expression changed to shocked ’Now Charles I believe it was what where you saying about me having so much more to learn?” I asked both Charles, and Erik looked at me. Erik noticed the clothes the young girls like me had to wear he saw that we looked like hookers he lightly elbowed Charles in the lower rib cage

“Charles have you noticed what these girls are having to wear just to work here?” Erik asked his friend

“Would you happen to have other clothes?” Charles asked me I shook me sandy blonde head

“Not really I just have my school uniform, and it basically looks like what I wear now” Charles sighed, running his left hand thru brown hair “ And what did you mean by I have so much more to learn?” I asked him now confused

“You’re unique Ember, you’re not the only one there are more like you”

“What do you mean like me? There’s only one that can control, and discharge shock waves, and electricity” Charles’s friend; Erik looked shocked

“You can do that?” Erik asked me

“Yes I can do that I can also change my hair, and eye color. My older brother can do that as well, but his are more advanced than mine are”

“Your brother is a mutant?” Erik asked me now very curious

“Yes it was hard growing up with non mutant parents they never understood”

“So what abilities does your brother have?” Charles asked me

“Uh well he possess Mind, and Body alteration, and Limited Cellular Regeneration, and goes by the name of Tesseract”

“I see now how’s about we find you a better paying job where you get to more clothes” Erik said I nodded

“Well then we best be off” Charles replied that’s when my boss of an ass walked up to the three of us

“I can’t let you leave Ember”

“Why not I just got off from work!” I yelled at my boss

“She just got a better job offer my good man” Charles said to him I had a feeling there was about to be a fight just than Erik got an idea

“Tell sister dear” Erik began I looked up at him like he was crazy then got the hint

“Yes brother what is it that you wish to know?” I asked after a while Charles managed to get the three of us out of the bar un harmed “Where are we heading?” I asked now nervous

“Not to fret Ember you won’t be harmed” Charles told me as we walked, and got into a car that Erik drove to a huge building  

“We’re here Charles” Erik told his brunette hair friend I looked out of the car’s rear window

“Where’s here may I ask?” I asked both Erik, and Charles

“A CIA research center” I froze in my place in the back seat of the car

“You’re wondering what the government would want with you?” I blinked my honey brown eyes

“Wait how’d you know that?” I asked now curious

“Charles my friend is a telepath Ember”

“A telepath?” I questioned now very confused

“It means I can read thoughts, and communicate with others” My jaw dropped

“Now that’s awesome” I replied as the three of us walked into the research center there Charles was met by a honey blonde hair girl

“Hello Raven, Hank” Just than I saw a tall brunette dressed in white lab coat he was geeky which was my type of guy I found myself blushing 

“Whose she?” Raven asked Charles

“This is Ember” Hank noticed I was wearing a mid lower thigh high checkered school skirt with a semi tight cotton shirt that showed my midriff  that’s when I noticed Hank blushing as well, but didn’t say anything about it

“So not to be rude, but do you always wear that?” Raven asked

“Yes its my high school uniform” Before I could finish Hank interrupted me

“I’m Hank”

“Ember” I replied back shyly  just then a rumble was heard I blinked ‘Oh Shit’ I thought to myself Charles looked over at me

“Ember I take it you know what’s happening?” Charles asked me haven read my mind

“Tesseract” Everyone, but Erik, and Charles looked at me

“Whose that?” Raven asked like before I could even answer her question a loud rumble was heard outside of the center this time twice as loud

“Get down!” I yelled, and ran outside I was followed closely by geek boy; Hank, and the others

“Woe” Was all Raven said Tesseract attacked first going after Hank

“Leave him alone!” I yelled little did I know that Hank like myself as a mutant I thought he was a human like my two ex boyfriends Tesseract than laughed while attacking Hank again my honey brown eyes narrowed now turning crimson red whilst my sandy blonde hair went pitch black I than re turned the attack right back at him seeing how my powers were his ultimate weakness after a two hour fight Tesseract left, and I  winced in pain Hank ran over to me

“Your hurt” He said “And by the way thanks on saving me from that guy” I sighed

“Your welcome Hank, and I doubt he’ll be alone next time” Raven, Charles, and Erik walked up to us

“I take that man was your older brother?” Erik asked me I nodded

“Yea that’s him” Another girl with black hair along with two guys also ran up to  Hank, and I

“What did we miss?” The blonde asked Charles

“Nothing” I said rudely as I winced getting up with Hank’s help later that night us teenagers gathered in the living room to hang out

“So what is our ability?” Angel asked me after she, Banshee, Darwin showed us their powers I felt a shock volt of electricity sizzle at my fingertips I let a volt of electricity buzz from my fingertips, and hit a near by cup of water the wave of electricity sizzled, and died down. I than pressurized the air around me, and a slight hard push from my hands was felt by the others

“Damn girl” Alex said

“So than what are we gonna call you?” Darwin asked now curious I smirked

“Static shock” I heard Alex reply

“I like the sound of that”

“What do we call you?” Alex asked Hank being rude “How’s about big foot?” that’s when my eyes changed to a light black

“Knock it off Alex, and you should know what they say about guys with big feet” Raven smiled

“She’s right, and you well your feet are small”

“Burn” Banshee said I laughed

            Later that night after Alex showed us his powers the gang went our separate ways to our bedrooms, but an arm stopped me I looked up, and saw a pair of brown eyes looking down at me

“Hey Hank”

“Hey”

“So what’s up?” I asked him

“I wanted to say thanks for what you did in the other room” He replied

“Anytime Hank” I smiled at him he smiled back

“Listen you want to hang out some time?” Hank asked me

“You mean like a date sort of?” I asked

“Yea like a date”

“Sure I’d love to, but don’t you like Raven?”

“What no there’s something I like about you, and I think Erik has a thing for Raven” I was about to head to my room again as Hank cut me off “I like you Ember” I froze, biting my lower lip I turned around to face him

“I like you too Hank even though we barely know each other”

“Yeah I know that maybe we can get to know one another”

“I’d love that” I turned to go into my bedroom

“Goodnight Ember” I smiled

“Goodnight Hank” I walked into my room, changed, and went to bed thinking about my new geeky friend whom was now a hottie
