This choice: The Z Team: Origins Alternate Timeline • Go Back...Chapter #3Origins Chapter 1: The Revelation by: Knight Owl   Hi, my name is Alexis Reinhouser. I am 14 years old. My mom can be a bit close minded at times, but she's mom, it's like her job to be a pain in the butt, but I love her all the same. My dad jetted out when I was about 2 years old. I live with my mom, and my 13 year old little sister Anna, but she's at her friend's house for the weekend. Anyway, this is my story.
Tonight is the Freshman homecoming dance or whatever. You had a date to the dance, but he's suddenly busy all of the sudden. How convenient... Your mother urges that you go anyway and maybe make a new friend. You decide to not show off and go dressed in a turtleneck sweater, sweat pants, and sneakers, with your hair tied in a ponytail. It's not like prom or anything, so you dont have to wear a dress. Thirty minutes in you are still leaning against the wall watching the others do their thing, when you notice that the same Goth chick has been staring at you for the past 20 minutes. You blink and she vanishes. Hello... A voice says from right next to you. Ahh! How the fudge did you get over here so fast? You were on the other side of the gym not even 2 seconds ago. Tell me. Do you believe in Vampires? Yeah, they only exist in movies, sparkle in the sunlight and try to win over the hearts of emotionless and frankly not all that cute girls named Bella. Twilight is an insult to my kind... Oh... You think you're a vampire... Ok... I'm leaving now delusional Goth chick... Not if I have anything to say about it... She grabs your arm. For a woman who looks only in her late teens or early twenties, she's got quite a vice grip. Hey! Let go of me you psycho... Why are your eyes red? I told you... I'm a Vampire... Dracula's own daughter, Scarlet Alucard. Oh... This wont do... Scarlet begins to roll down your turtleneck, exposing your neck to her. This will only hurt for a second. Scarlet bites your for about 15 seconds before pulling away, it's actually kind of erotic... Not that you like girls or anything... It was nice to meet you. May we meet again darling. You blink again and Scarlet is gone in a flash. A couple of hours pass and you return home with your turtleneck up particularly high.
Your House, The Living Room
Hi mom! Bye mom! I'm going to bed now. Wait just one second young lady. So close... Yes mother? Why is the collar on your turtleneck unrolled? Oh you know... Fashion trends and things... You wouldn't understand. Over here. Come on. Your mother says as she pats the spot next to her. Mom that's really not a good idea... but if you say so... You sit next to your mother and she pulls down your collar and sees Scarlet's bite marks. Alexis Henrietta von Reinhouser! What? I met a vampire. What'd you expect? Oh... Those aren't needle tract marks? What?! No! Why would you think I was doing drugs?! It's just a really wicked hickey is all... Your mother covers her mouth in shock. You had sexual relations! Who is he?! I'll wring his neck! It was a she... and I kinda liked it... Alexis... you know how I feel about that... Mommy... you say hugging her. ...I thought you loved me... I do love you Alexis, it's just that your sexual preferences aren't my cup of tea is all. No matter what I'll always accept you. The doorbell rings. I got it mom! You open the door. Hey Mrs. Huang, mom's right over on the couch if you need... Why are you staring at me like that? Mrs. Huang: How long has that been on your neck? You: Oh that... It's just a hickey, I got it at homecoming, I just got back. Mrs. Huang opens her purse and pulls out a needle. She jabs in the neck with it. You: What the? Why would you do that!? Mrs. Huang: Did you want to be a Vampire instead? You: Right... Err... Thanks then. Mrs. Huang: It's no problem, and you can call me Aunt Kelly. Your mother and I have been best friends since preschool. You: Uh... sure. I can do that. Kelly: So. Has your mother told you yet? You: Told me what? Kelly: Why dont you ask her? You walk into the living room. You: Mom is there something you wanted to tell me? Your mom: Well I suppose you're ready... Tell me. What is it that you think Kelly and I do? You: Uhh... You work as a secretary at a paper company and Mrs.... I mean Aunt Kelly works at an accounting place right? Kelly: To the public yes, that's what we do. Your mom: But secretly... Your mom pulls on one of the wall lamps and the fireplace opens up, revealing a batcave like complex. You: Wait... You're... Your mom: Spectrum. Kelly: And I.Q. Your mom/Kelly: At your service! (In this arc Lexi follows the path of righteousness because her mother accepted her sexuality rather than broke her heart about it) You: So are powers genetic? Your mom: Of course. They may be similar to mine or be the complete opposite. Kelly: It's random really, for example, by some incalculable coincidence my daughter Emily has the exact same powers that I do. You: So mom... What are your powers exactly? Your mom: You mean what aren't my powers? I can do pretty much anything I can think of. You: Cool. I hope I dont get something lame like stretching... Your mom: Kelly can test you right now if you want. You: Go for it Aunt Kelly. Kelly pulls out what looks like a tablet PC and it scans you. Kelly: Hmm... 100% match but your metagene is a latent double, meaning you'll get your mother's powers in a few years... for now you can look forward to body transformation powers. You: I guess that's kinda cool... So mom. What about Leah and Anna? Your mom: Anna's too young and Leah is a lost cause... You: Lost cause? Your mom: She's the Grim Reaper's apprentice... there's no hope for her now. That's why I sent her to live with my mother... You: Wasn't she in the Nazi high command back in World War II? Your mom: Yep. Stubborn old bat refuses to die... You: Mother! Your mom: Sorry. You: Wait, mom, you aren't even 40 yet so... Your mom: My mother was born in 1925. She joined the Hitler Youth some time in her childhood and worked her way up to SS by the time she was about 15, I was born 1966, so my mother was 41 when I was born. Make sense? You: I hate math. I'll take your word for it. Kelly: Heather. Can I design her costume? Your mom: Go for it. You: Dont I get a say? Kelly's eyes glow white briefly. Kelly whispers in your ear: I'll make it worth your while little niece. I think it's cute that you like girl's feet by the way. And I'll make sure that your mom doesn't find out until you're ready to tell her ok? You: Sure Aunt Kelly. Design my costume however you like! You say smiling at the both of them... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
