"This can't be real!" Sophie said as she looked at herself in the mirror.
The last time she checked, which was the previous night before going to bed, she was a 5'6 tall, brunette with green eyes, going on the chubby side, no thanks to the deliciousness of donuts and other pastries, and she was hitting her thirties. However, looking at herself in the mirror, she was a 6'0 blonde teenage girl with sharp blue eyes, an angular jaw that made her look like a model, soft, cute face and a very athletic body for the sport bra she had on when going to sleep was showing she had a six pack and her arms had muscles printed onto them.
"How's this possible?" she asked herself as she went to touch the mirror as if it would dispell the illusion she was in. As soon as her finger touched it, the mirror cracked before falling into pieces into the sink, making her yelp in surprise.
"Sophie, I heard something break,bis everything alright?" a woman's voice asked from behind the door. Sophie turned to look at the door only to be shocked silent as she saw her sight look through the door as if it suddenly became transparent and outside her door stood a woman in her early forties, a kind look in her eyes with her face filled with concern.
Suddenly, an influx of memories flooded her brain making her wince in pain as a migraine set in, which only lasted for three seconds. But to her, she just spent nine years worth of time. From the first memory the previous Sophie could remember to the last day she was herself. She had seen and lived through the memories but she was not the Sophie in the memories, that she knew deep down like it was coded into her.
"I am a Kryptonian?" she asked herself in shock.
In the memories, the previous Sophie started getting her powers when she was seven. It started with super strength. When her toy duck was thrown under a fridge by one of her many foster brothers, in her anger and desperation, she had tried to move the fridge only to toss it out of the building through the roof. It landed into the neighbor's house, almost crushing the wife. They had to move due to this with everyone thinking she was a metahuman.
Due to her intelligence, the Sophie had kept quiet about her other powers that manifested because of Superman. She had seen she had similar powers to the man when she manifested her fourth power. Super speed came second to super strength and with it, she could perceive the world much slower than every one else. Due to this, she found her reflexes heightened to a point she could see and follow a bullet been fired by a turret. Been a thug in a city protected by the man of steel meant you had to have heavy fire power. Machine guns were regarded as pistols here!
"Only in DC universe," Sophie scoffed as she thought of that.
She then noticed she had become invulnerable when a stray bullet hit her on her back while escaping with her foster family when thugs were trying to o fight Superman. Apparently, the bullet had bounced of the Kryptonian's chest and hit her back, making her relieved to being alive and the bullet chosing her as a target instead of any other person. Invulnerability was such a wonderful power to abuse like tricking you brothers that the cooking pot is not hot only for their dumbass to try and lift it only to scream in pain. Sometimes she wondered if siblings pranking each other was another form of torture!
Her fourth power was super hearing and it was a pain and a half trying to control it. It let her hear things she was not supposed to hear like her elder foster sister's vibrating underwear and the moans under her breath during breakfast. Her foster parents having sex while trying to be distret was something she absolutely dreaded and each morning she wouldn't even look them in the face. She came to know her foster mother was nasty! However, school was probably the worst place to have this power. From preteens gossiping with each other, banging of lockers, the janitor beating his meat in his closet, a teacher breathing in deep each time he walked past girls, a random person just tearing it up inside a bathroom stall...It was just horrible and she used every single moment she had to control this power before she became crazy.
The fifth was heat blasts from her eyes. This power came as a total surprise in the most inopportune time! Basically, she just found out she was gay when she heard two female seniors getting busy in a stall. She had been aroused and so, tried to emulate what her elder foster sister did. So, she stole her vibrator one night and got to it while holding out a picture of Superman and Wonderwoman. Her eyes would wander a little too much on Wonderwoman and just as she came, laser shot out of her eyes, turning the Wonderwoman picture to ashes and the roof had a smoldering hole. So, she knew she had to have this power under control as fast as possible if she wanted to get laid.
Her favourite power was perhaps X-ray vision and telescopic vision. These two powers came at the same time and she welcomed them with open arms. Now, no attractive girl was safe from her perverted eyes and the best thing was they wouldn't even know they were been stared at. She could stare at a girl next class the entire class and she couldn't even realize it, truly a power made just for her! Besides super speed, these two were perhaps the most used powers of hers.
"If I were a male I could call myself a man of cul...Who am I kidding, I am in the body of a pervert!" Sophie sighed as she finished sorting the memories. Her favourite ones, however, were the memories of her flying. There is a freeing sense when one gets the ability to fly, especially if one can go from 1mph to Mach 10 in an instant.
"Sophie, why aren't you answering?" her foster mother called out, making her remember about her.
"Uhmm, I just broke a mirror, Abby, everything's fine," she shouted back.
"Oh, did you punch through my wall again?" she asked a little concerned.
"Abby, that was one time and I had a nightmare!" Sophie told her defensively, making Abby to laugh softly.
"Well, pick up the mirrors and meet us downstairs for breakfast," Abby said before walking away. Sophie sighed in relief, looked at the broken mirror one last time before walking back to her bed. However, she realized something was inside her sports shorts pocket, making her reach inside and with a scowl, fished out a vial of a golden liquid.
"What's this?" she asked herself as she turned the vial to read the label. "Golden Sentry Serum!" She just stared at the label for a few more moments before reacting.
"This can't be true!"
