All Lyra asked for was an explanation for what the hell was going on, and all she got at first was a scream, the sound of shattering glass, and a thud, like someone had just fallen to the floor. Lyra jumped, unsure of what had just happened and no one was talking to her. And then another voice spoke up. Lyra immediately recognized it from her dream last night, but this time she could hear the words that were being spoken…and she sounded annoyed.  Before Lyra could answer any questions though, she and the others were lead out of the room and into cars, being driven away to…well Lyra wasn’t sure where. Lyra stayed quiet for the whole trip, trying to take in all that was happening, especially what had been going on with her sight and that weird thing that had happened to her in the janitor’s closet.

Finally they got to wherever it was that mysterious woman wanted to take them and once they were at seated, they finally got an explanation. Lyra listened carefully as this woman, Maria Stanford, told them all that she worked for the Superhero Legion and that all of them in the room had been drafted to be superheroes based on how they had answered a personality test, and Lyra was given hers back. What had she put on here to make them think she was superhero martial? Lyra continued to listen as they were all lead around the base, from bedrooms to training rooms to a kitchen and etc. They were finally lead to where their costumes would be and handed another piece of paper with their powers on them and their secret identities. Lyra couldn’t help but to wonder how she was going to tell her mother that she was going to become a superhero…But she would cross that road when she got there.

Once Maria had dismissed them, Lyra was quick to catch her. “Excuse me Dr. Stanford. Um, could you read my paper to me?” Maria obliged and Lyra learned that her powers had…only been theorized? They weren’t sure she would develop powers with the serum they gave to her? Well, at least the powers she did get were what were listed. And this meant that she could see. All those outlines and colors, those had been real! She could finally see again! Well, kind of. But being able to see in the dark only was better than not being able to see at all! “Okay then, I guess I’ll just get into my costume then and-“ But Maria interrupted her to tell her that she didn’t actually have a costume yet because they weren’t sure she would have any powers. Oh…well that would have to wait then. “Then I guess I’ll go train then…” Lyra said with a shrug. 

Lyra decided it would be best to walk with someone, get to know her new teammates and all.  That’s when she heard a familiar voice.

"Rashid. Wasn't he the islamic hero from back in 9/11 who could turn himself into sand? I'm a ghost...Tom Fan, Phan-tom. Cute. Let's just hope they never pin the goth kid for being the ghost of an arabic assassin... Problem, I don't know Krav Maga or speak ANY middle-eastern dialect, I only know American, French, Japanese. How am I supposed to be an Arabic ghost?"

“It’s never too late to learn a language Thomas.” She told the leader of the Misfits as she walked over to him. “Especially when you already know three. I’m sure you can do it.” She added, giving him a encouraging smile. “Anyways, want to go practice?”
