Chapter Text
AN: Hey y'all! This is my first ever fic so lets refrain from picking up the pitchforks and torches if I make an error somewhere XD! But I strongly do encourage constructive criticism! Im not only writing this for myself but my readers too! Now enough from me, lets get weird ;)
I'm Leena, I'm 19, I'm 5 feet and 4 inches of wildness, oh yeah I also have superpowers. My powers aren't anything amazing though , i can't fly, i don't have heat vision, i'm not bulletproof and i'm sure as hell not immortal. My powers pretty much make me stronger, faster, and a little more resilient than your average joe. I'm pretty much the younger, better version of the dear captain.
I was made in a lab but unlike captain asshole I didn't volunteer, some asshats snatched me off the streets when i was a kid on my way home from school. I grew up in a lab while my parents moved on and had another kid.
That was a real kick in the teeth, after years of torture I return to my parents who probably think im dead just to find out they replaced me. So gave into the anger that grew in me over the years, and took care of my replacement.
Flashback
I was finally free, 10 years in captivity and I'm finally free. The fresh air almost hurt to breathe in, and i couldn't tell if i liked the feeling of the sun on my skin. I wasn't sure if it was burning me or not. I can't remember the last time I felt the sun on my skin. I looked around the abandoned area that surrounded the factory where I was once a prisoner. "What the hell am I going to do now?" i say to myself.
There were so many things racing through my mind, but the first thought I gave any attention to was to go find my parents.
So here i am, on the bus back to New York on a prayer that my parents didn't abandon my childhood home in their grief. I decided to close my eyes and attempt to sleep for the rest of the 4 hour drive.
When i woke up we were in New York. I grabbed my black backpack that had my old shirt and a pair of jeans, threw it over my shoulders and started walking to my old home. I really lucked out in the location department; My parents own a pretty nice house about 10 blocks from the bus station, well hopefully still own at this point.
I took in the city as i walked, it's amazing how much can change in 10 years. The more I walked the more familiar things became, and next thing you know i was on the porch of my childhood home. I raised my hand to knock but I froze. Why the hell am I freezing! This is what i dreamt of everyday! What if they hate me? What if they never missed me? What if they just forgot about me? The sound of a doorbell ripped me out of my thought when the fuck did i do that? Seconds pass but it feels like minutes, next thing i know the door swings open and there she is.
My mom; she hasn't aged a day. Light skin still flawless as ever, her blue eyes still have so much life in them, unlike mine. "May I help you?" i hear her ask. I look up at her and our blue eyes meet. "M-Mom?" The second the word left my mouth she dissolved into tears. She pulled me into a tight hug and I froze. It was the first act of kindness I've received in years, and i didnt know how to react. I slowly wrap my hands around her and she starts to cry harder. "Leena, my baby is it really you!?" she sobs as she takes my face into her hands. And for the first time in years tears begin to fall down my face. "Yeah mom, it's me." "Honey what's wron-" i look up at the sound of a male voice and make eye contact with my father. "Hi Daddy, i'm alive" i say chuckling with tears still pouring down my face.
"L-leena? Baby girl it's really you" he begins to cry inching towards us. My father wraps both of us up in a tight embrace and we all just sit there in the doorway crying. I held onto my parents so tight afraid that the second i let go they'd disappear again. Nothing could ruin this moment, this moment right here, is what kept me going in that hellhole. "Mom, Dad why are you guys on the floor crying? Who is that?" I felt my world stop and shatter. I looked up at my parents eyes full of betrayal and pain. I scramble out of their embrace and back myself into a corner. "Elaine, this is Leena. Your older sister" I hear my father say.
At this point my head is spinning, i have so many thoughts going through my head, but the worse one was the one telling me that they moved on, that they did forget about me. "No honey, we never EVER forgot about you." my mother said. Shit i said that aloud! "We searched for you for a year, you were gone without a trace! We couldn't mourn you forever, nor could we give up on having a family. We lo-" i felt my body grow hot. "You replaced me. After a year of searching you made my replacement" i spat. My mind was spiraling at this point. I held onto hope that my parents were looking for me for 10 years! I held onto the dream that one day i would see them again and things will be just like they were before, but no. I was on the verge of snapping.
"So what, they moved on and had me! They couldnt put their entire life on hold because their first kid was dumb enough to get snatched off the streets! So get over it! You're out now so why the fuck do you even care!" Elaine yelled.
And i snapped
I was across the room in seconds strangling my 'sister' i heard my mother shrieking at me and i felt my father grab my arm, but at this point i was too far gone, i picked my father up with my left hand and threw him towards the door and turned my attention back to Elaine. I looked her in her eyes as she began to turn blue from the lack of oxygen. "I'll have you know Elaine that what happened to me was never my fault" I sneered into her ear " and even if I never came back... you would have never been able to fill the hole I left in their hearts." and with that i snapped her neck and dropped her to the floor like she was nothing. I heard my parents scream out in horror. I turn to them and smile in satisfaction. It's sad to believe that the scientists that tortured and experimented on me for 10 years weren't the ones to finally break me, but my own family; the people i held out for.
"Leena what the hell did you do!" I heard my father say as my mother rushed past me to scoop up Elaine's body. My mother began to scream even louder as she rocked back and forth. "My baby, oh my poor baby" she kept repeating. "Mom you don't need her anymore, I'm here" I try to put my hand on her shoulder and she flinches away from me. "You're not my daughter, you're a monster!" she screeches at me. My blood ran cold when she said that to me. I looked to my father whose eyes held the same fear and disgust. "Daddy?" i say with a cracked voice tears threatening to come out. "Our daughter died 10 years ago." He says. And my world stops.
"W-what are you talking about, guys we can get over this, just how you got over me" i try to reason with them. "YOU'RE A MONSTER!" my father yells at me. I let my tears fall freely at this point, it all hurts too much. I look from my father to my mother and see her reaching for a cellphone on the floor. "Mom... What are you doing?" my voice shaking. She grabs the phone and holds it up showing 911 on the line. "We're going to get you the help you need Leena," she says fear shining in her eyes. "No... you're going to get me locked up! Well guess what! I. WILL NEVER. BE LOCKED UP. AGAIN!" i scream as i storm up to my mother, grab her by her hair and yank her head around to make her look at my father. "A monster is what you called me right? Well if it's a monster you want it's a monster you'll get" and with that I twist my mother's head until I hear a sickening snap. I don't even register my father's screams, i'm too numb. I hear him hurling all kinds of insults at me but it's like I'm underwater. I see him, and i hear him, but i just can't understand.
"DO YOU HEAR ME YOU LITTLE BITCH! YOU'LL DIE FOR THIS! THE POLICE WILL BE HERE ANY SECOND TO BRING YOU TO A CELL WHERE YOU CAN ROT UNTIL YOU GO TO HELL!" Now that i heard, a grin splits my face. "Well that doesn't give us too much time then does it daddy dearest? I'll make this quick ''I say grabbing him by the chin. "You guys could have really tried harder with the naming, how do you really expect me to believe bitchy over there wasn't my replacement when her name is elaine, that's pretty close to Leena in my opinion." He glares in my direction "More like an upgrade." He smirks, I smacked him without even thinking about it and two seconds later screaming I snapped his neck.
I staggered out of breath and slid down the wall to sit amongst the bodies of my 'family' at this point all i could do was cry. I could've given up so long ago and maybe found peace in heaven or something, but instead I fought for bullshit. I slammed my head back into the wall cracking it and screamed, i screamed out 10 years of pain and suffering on the floor of my childhood home. And when i was done i curled up on the floor, so burnt out and defeated all i wanted to do was sleep.
