Confusion
Breakfast, shower, dress, and get out.
That was the plan.
Keep your head down, don’t talk to anyone. Yeah, that was a good plan.
Too bad I know something will go wrong.
No! No negative thinking, just get in and get out.
I wasn’t wearing my track pants, but I felt completely mortified to leave the room like this, I was hugely against showing off skin. It just feels wrong, it’s my skin, and it’s not up for display. I could show off my knee’s down, my whole arms (of course), hell even cleavage when necessary. But anything else was a no go area. No-Go.
I creak my door open, I check the corridor, coast is clear.
I tiptoe out my room, make it to the hallway and enter the kitchen.
Reed, Sue, and Ben were there.
Okay, don’t freak out. This aint bad, they’re just eating breakfast. They don’t know what happened.
My blood boiled at the thought, and I had to grind my teeth to stop myself from freezing over.
“Hey guys” I mumbled sleepily. Maybe if I act tired and absentminded they’ll leave me alone.
“Morning” Ben grumbles back, although he can’t help the rumble in his voice. He was standing by the counter, he poured me a glass of orange juice and hands it over to me. I accept it with a grateful smile.
Who invented taking orange juice in the morning? He was a genius and an idiot. I mean, I want food in the morning, not a squeezed fruit that sometimes taste sourer. But I gotta give em props, he must’ve made a buttload of cash.
“How are you this morning?” Sue asks me from the brim of her cup of coffee. I nearly hiss at it, me and coffee were sworn enemies.
“I’m good, thanks for asking” I reply, flashing her my most winning smile.
“Sleep well?” Reed asked.
What’s with all the questions?
“Like a baby” I stretch to emphasis my point. It wasn’t a complete lie, I was sleeping like a baby before last night’s episode.
All three adults raised their brows at me.
“Really?” Ben grumbles.
“What?” I ask.
“Nothing” Reed and Susan say at once.
“What!?” I was really interested now.
“Really, Victoria it’s not-” Ben interrupts Sue.
“Oh c’mon Suzy. She’s above 18 now. And she has a right to now”
“Know what?” I am literally gonna explode.
“It’s not appropriate!” Susan stresses.
Oh no, I hope it isn’t…
“She might have even done it” Ben points at me.
“What!” Reed spits out his food.
“Whatever it is, I didn’t/haven’t done it” I say with my arms raised.
I could see the chaos about to unfold when-
“Whhhhaaaaaaaat’s uuuuup” Johnny walks in yawning. “guys?”
“Okay I gotta go” I drop the glass of orange juice, on the counter quickly. I refuse to look in his direction, I absolutely refuse to look.
“But you haven’t eaten anything” Ben comments.
“No need” I grit my teeth in a fake smile, backing up towards the door. “Breakfast wise-light is right. Don’t wanna pack on to much weight and lose this gorgeous figure”
In my attempt to back out of the room I ram ever so softly into a solid male form.
“We don’t want that now do we?” Johnny whispers into my ear.
I couldn’t breathe.
I feel a lump against my bum, I jump a full foot away and turn to stare at my molester.
HE’S WEARING NOTHING BUT BOXERS! My mind screamed, and there’s a bulge!
OMG! OMG!
I couldn’t breathe, I feel dizzy, are those spots I see?
Colour danced before my eye. “I feel woozy” I accidentally say out loud.
“That’s it, breakfast time” Ben takes hold of my arm and leads me over to the table and sits me between Sue and Reed. I catch our reflection off the oven and I notice that we look like a normal family. A beautiful one actually.
“Johnny! Put some clothes on!” Sue yelled at her brother.
“Hey, be glad I even came out in underwear” Johnny replies pointing in our direction. “I actually contemplated coming out naked” he mumbled.
Suddenly Johnny’s whole body disappears.
Reed, Ben and I looked at Johnny with eye’s the size of globes.
“What’re you looking at?” he frowns.
I point as his body. The creep had the gals to grin.
“Like what you see?” he says cockily.
“I would,” I say. “If I could see anything”
“Huh” he looked confused, looked down at himself, than screams. “Where’s my body!? Ahhhhh! I’ve been amputed!”
“Actually, amputate is for arms or limbs. Decapitated is when you lose your head” I say.
Everyone looks at me.
“What?” I say back. “I went to school” I add with a grin.
“Thank you for that” Johnny says harshly.
“Go and change, Jonathan, or you ain’t seeing your body till your 30”
“Fine! I’m going!” Johnny’s head bounces quickly out of the room, funny yet oh-so creepy.
A few moments of silence descends.
“Now what is this I hear about you maybe not being a virgin?” Reed asks out of nowhere.
“OH MY GOD! Why would you ask that?” I yell out. Thank god Johnny isn’t here to hear this, you saw how he reacted to the whole Captain America stuff! My innocence is obviously a big deal to him……how wrong is that?
“Because we’re your guardians” Sue puts in. “We have a right.”
“NO YOU DO NOT!”
“She has a point guys” Ben says from his cup of coffee. It to Ben?...It to?
I focus on the plate of food infront of me. Eggs. Pancakes. Chicken sausage. A healthy and nutritious breakfast, I felt like puking. I had half a mind of tossing this plate into Reed and Sue’s face, too bad that wasn’t possible because there was only one plate, it would be mighty unfair not to share the punishment. I’ll get them back somehow.
“Who’s got a point?” Johnny jogs back into the kitchen, what, did he run?
It looked like he just dragged on any dirty old shirt he saw. Accompanied with his boxers poking out and his bed head he looked so comfy and inviting I’d love to just lie on him. Yea, I know what I thought. And I like it.
“Vick” Ben points a huge orange-brown finger at me, or was it a thumb? I can hardly ever tell.
Johnny’s eye’s lock with mine, please don’t ask, please don’t! “And what point may that be?”
“That’s pretty unclear” Ben rubs his chin. “Reed mentions the concepts of Vick not being a virgin, Vick reacts, Sue counters, and now we’re here”
“So Victoria,” Johnny’s eyes drilled into mine. “are you?”
“Am I what?” Playing a fool was the best option I had right about now.
“A virgin!” Sue yells out.
“It’s none of your business!” I scream out.
Sue grabs me by the collar. “Don’t make me hurt you” she warned.
I slap a grab hold on Susan’s head and freeze the edge, she lets go of me lightning fast.
“Ahem,” I say to the room in general. “Now let me make myself perfectly clear…” I look around to make sure everyone was focused on me, yup, I had their attention.
“THE SUBJECT OF MY VIRGINITY IS NOT AND WILL NOT EVER BE UP FOR DISCUSSION EVER AGAIN!”
A force field hits me smack in the chest.
I fly back and ram into the kitchen sink so hard water spews out. “What the hell’s your problem!?” I scream. Boy that felt good.
“TELL US!” Susan shrieks.
“Oh God,” Reed lifts a newspaper out of nowhere. “There having a chick moment.” He spreads it open. “We can either sit by and ignore them or run for the door”
“Door” Johnny says.
“Door” Ben agrees.
They both run for the door but slam into a force field.
“No one is leaving” Sue emphasis on a scream.
“Let them go!” I grab a rolling pin a go for Sue’s head, rage, uncontrolled rage filled me.
The rolling pin breaks before making contact with her skull.
She grabs my shirt, it rides up showing half of my body. I blast her with snow and she flies back, slamming into the fridge. A huge Susan-sized dent is left on the front of the fridge.
She growls out like a wild animal.
I shot a wave of snow that hits her back into the fridge and freezes her under a tundra of ice, she breaks through it and sends basketball size ice chunks projecting everywhere.
“Why are they fighting?” Johnny wails and runs over to grab Reed’s shoulder who was still reading the newspaper.
“They’re girls! It’s in their genetic code!” Ben shouts as he upturns the table to block them against us. Reed was still sitting, reading his paper, while Ben and Johnny quaked behind their barrier.
Knifes (of various size and deadliness) shot up and hover in the air, all aim at me from various angles of the room. I quickly form an ice club and hold it up, like a pitcher, ready and waiting.
I whack at the first three that comes from my front, I ice my right shoulder and forearm hitting two knifes to the floor, denting them.
“Watch out, your back!” Ben and Johnny bellow.
No time to look, I freeze my whole back and I feel the thuds of knifes hit it.
“Are you crazy!?” I shriek, reach back and grab afew knifes. “You could’ve killed me!” I threw the knives at her, they stop half way to her, bend and scrunch up like they were nothing but paper and fall.
“I thought you were such a ‘hero’” Susan makes insulting quote gestures. How were they insulting? They just were! “A hero would’ve seen that coming! A HERO wouldn’t need someone to tell her I was going to do that!”
My hands were in fists, I took a step forward, ready to inflict all manner of bodily harm on her when-
“OH MY GOD SHE’S BLEEDING!” Johnny yells from nowhere.
“Huh?” I look at him, he was pointing at me. But I wasn’t hurt, none of the knifes hit me…well, not that I’m aware of.
I look at myself and see a trail of blood going down my leg, oh no! Don’t tell me!
“Waaaaaah!” I burst out in a wail. See? That’s why I hate wearing shorts around! Things like this happen!
“What? What’s wrong” Johnny has his hands over his ears. “Is she that hurt?”
“She’s not hurt” Reed says flatly.
“Well,” Ben says, “She took one look at you and started crying” he gestures at Johnny. “I don’t blame her, one look at FlameBrain here would make me cry”
“I’M ON MY PERIOD!” I scream with tears falling. “Waaaaaaaahaaaahaaaa!!”
Well that explains my over the top moods, but what of Susan?
“It’s kinda obvious really” Reed puts down his paper and looks at everyone with a bored expression.
“No it’s not!” Ben and Johnny yell.
“And why is my sister crying?” Johnny points out.
“Huh?” I wipe a tear.
Sure enough Susan was standing at the other of the kitchen sniffing hysterically.
“You’re on your period?” she asks me shakily.
I nod my head and hiccupped.
“Me tooo!” she opens her arms wide and I run into it.
We both hug each other and cry hysterically.
Johnny and Ben look at Reed.
“I found out this morning” he replies their unspoken question.
“I’m sorry!” Susan wailed.
“I’m sorry too!” I cry back.
We stand there in the wrecked kitchen crying a puddle with Johnny and Ben hiding behind the up turned table and Reed yawning in boredom. I really like this family, I really do. But right now I was so filled with sadness the love was all muddled up.
“So…is Vick a virgin or not?” Johnny asks.
“NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!” I growl at him, I jump across the room and stick my nose in his face. The tears dried immediately from my face. That is so like Johnny, the jerk, I hate him, I hate him! Who brings two girls to his room? Who!?
“Reed…? Please explain to me what’s going on” Johnny whispers in absolute fear.
“The radiation from the cosmic rays that gave us our powers giving us super human strengths and abilities has affected the women’s hormone levels in a subatomic biological level. Being it the time of month were their hormones are imbalanced because their estrogen is at its highest it makes them 70% more moody then the average female…it’s highly understandable”
“Oh my gosh, he’s so right!” I say in a bubbly happy voice. “Plus I understood all of that! Did you understand what he was saying Johnny?”
His face was mere inches from mine, he shook it frantically side to side. I was really happy, I’m smarter than Johnny Strom, horray!
“To bad, you should read more and become super smart like Reed” I smile at him and all the other men in front of me.
“I’m so scared right now” Johnny whispers to Ben.
“I was scared two moods ago” he replies.
“Oh c’mon it wasn’t that bad, right Susan?” I throw a smile at her.
She was still sad but once she saw me smile she smiled right back at me. “Right! And Oh my God, guess what I just thought of!”
“What!” I scream in delight.
We sound like preteen middle schoolers on a sugar high. I love it! I was so happy I was seeing flowers. Yay!
“Are cycles are synced! And you know what that means?” Susan asked.
“OMG, I do!” I run and we hug.
“It means we’re besties!” we chimed in unison.
We we’re giggling and jumping around, I like this mood better than the others.
“What the heck is going on!?” Johnny stood up and looked around as if a reasonable answer would pop up. “I’m so confused!”
Ben looked at Reed. “Give it time, it’ll wear off” Reed said.
“Oh darn,” I said with a frown looking down (*rhyme!*). “I’m making a mess”
I was. The red line was at my ankle dripping onto the kitchen floor. I was so embarrassed it broke through my happy bubble and brought me back down to earth.
“I’m gonna go clean up” Thank God my blush couldn’t show, thank you dark skin tone! “Oh! And I’m going out after I’m clean” I say by the door.
“No,” Susan says. “You’re going to go meet Steve later”
“WHAT!?” It wasn’t me that said that, it was Johnny.
Through all the chaos and confusion…that sentence made me happy.
“Excuse me, I’m sorry” I hold my head. “Steve? You mean, as in…Rogers? Steve Rogers? Captain America?”
“That’s right” Susan smiled back.
“Wait, what? Why!?” Johnny said angrily, now he looked like he was on his period.
“I don’t know” Susan answered. “He called last night to ask if Victoria could meet up with him today. He said he had something to show her”
Okay, now I’m blushing quite visibly.
Johnny bites down on his lip to hold back his comment.
“Hey, leave her alone” Ben elbows him, which sent Johnny falling. “With a night like last night you should have a smile the size of Alaska”
“Ben!” Susan and Reed whine.
“What?” I say to them, “Wasn’t it the talk about Johnny with two girls in his room that started all of this?”
Everyone looks at me stunned.
I fold my arms, “I’m 18 guys, wake up.” I wink at Ben.
“Yea!” he says enthusiastically, getting up to his feet. “It’s what started all this!” he tries to divert.
I sigh. I knew this was what they were meaning, back when I first entered the kitchen. Despite all the craziness, the memories of last night were like a plague of bad dreams I couldn’t get rid of no matter how many happy thoughts I thought.
“Erm, Victoria?” Susan grabs my attention. “How do you know that?”
“Oh, Johnny came and knocked on my door last night. The two girls walked out of the room following him” I say innocently. “Boy Johnny, Fifi is beautiful in lingerie. But that busty blond-and I mean busty-” I emphasis to the rest of the room, “-was an angel in sheer, see-through white”
“Johnathan Spencer Storm” Susan’s rage was back and she was practically hovering off the floor. I could feel my purple demon horns forming and I grinned to myself.
“Ah! Sis, it’s not what it sounds like!” he runs from the kitchen leaving a trail of fire. “I was checking up on her-I heard screams, AHHHH!”
Both siblings race out the room leaving a trail of chaos and destruction.
Ben and I laugh while Reed stretches his arm to make another cup of coffee.
“Is it always like this?” I ask Ben.
“Rarely” he replies. “But since you’ve been around, things have definitely become more interesting.”
I laugh, and smile. I look at Reed who was acting all I’m-a-bored-scientist-so-nothing-impresses-me but I saw a hint of a smile on his lips as he took the cup of coffee he’d just finish making.
“You better go clean up sweet heart,” Ben points at me.
“Ah-oh” I look down to see another trail of blood going down my other leg. Eek!
I run to the kitchen door, “Uhm, you guys mind calling Steve and telling him ‘yes I’d love to meet him’ and ask him where it is that we are supposed to meet?”
“Sure. No problem.” Ben and Reed co-replied.
“Thanks” and I run to go clean myself up.
