  Something Different

  I stared in surprise at the girl who had just introduced herself as Val. Not only was she new at my school, but she had also made the entire school population disappear.

  “Bring everyone back!” I demanded.

  Val looked at me and smiled. “Oh, I will, hon. I just need to talk in private. The worlds need a hero, and you are that hero!” she told me.

  She paused for a moment, then continued. “At least I think you are. I truly hope you are! We will see. Time will tell.” She snapped her fingers again.

  Everybody came back, and this time, Val disappeared. Now that was weird, even for me… Had I just imagined it? I decided to not worry about Val, at least for now.

  The next couple of months passed by very quietly, too quietly for my liking. Sitting in math class one morning, I looked at our teacher, Mr. Bell who stood at the front of the room. He had drawn a formula on the board. I know math is important. I understand that the logic and precision behind math can help us in our everyday lives. Yet, I wanted something else to happen. I needed something else to happen. Things had been quiet in Starlight City for several weeks now. Super Teen and her team had pretty much squished every crime. Any two-bit thief knew that if they tried anything in this town, Super Teen would take them down. That made me feel proud, considering I am Super Teen.

  In fact, due to my team, my super speed and super-fast response time, the crime rate had fallen all over the country. Of course, my team had help from my good friend Adam, aka Super Clone and his team of super kids. Working with the folks at my dad’s lab, Big Mega Science, and Adam’s lab, Future Now, we’d pretty much managed to crush crime everywhere.

  I should have been happy. The holidays were coming up. They are a time to get together and be with family and friends and not fight super villains. But man, oh man, surely one or two minor supervillains would add a little spice to my day. Heck, even my arch rivals, Glare Girl and super genius wannabe super baddie, Paula White had left me alone. Paula liked to go by Paula Pounder. She thought it made her seem more dangerous, but she could still never best me. Apparently she had given up trying for now. I guessed that she and Glare Girl were tired of getting their butts handed to them by me.

  When the bell rang, I quickly stood up. At least at lunch, I get to talk with my friends.

  My BFF, Jason turned to me. “What’s going on with you?” he asked.

  “Um, what?” I answered.

  “You seem out of it,” he said. “Mr. Bell explained how to compute the area of a circle, and you seemed not to care. Come on, Lia, we can figure out the area of a circle!!”

  In case you can’t guess, Jason is a bit of a math-science geek. He particularly loves science. That’s why he works in my dad’s lab. Even at age 13, he pretty much runs his own section of the lab. Yeah, Jason is way smart and way dedicated. I’m lucky to have a BFF like him.

  “I’m just a little bored,” I told him.

  “Wait, what? In math class? How? Why?” Jason gasped. “Math is truth!”

  “That’s true,” I said. “But I have all these really cool superpowers, and I haven’t been able to let them rip lately.”

  “We just had a great practice session in the lab yesterday!” Jason insisted. “You, Marie, Tanya, and Lori all worked so well together; you took out ten tank drones!”

  I nodded. “Yeah, but that wasn’t real. That didn’t change the world. Or protect the innocent. It was just practice.”

  “Right, and we practice so that you’re able to change the world and protect the innocent.”

  Looking at him, I said, “I get that. I do. But, man... I could really use some real action.”

  The school started to shake. The walls of the school became very cold. The floor froze over. Kids started slipping. The school shook again.

  “Be careful what you wish for!” Jason said.

  A voice boomed over the speaker in the corner of the room, “This is Vice Principal Bueller! Everybody into the basement, now! We are being attacked by a giant snowman!”

  Kids ran by us in a panic.

  “It’s like sixty degrees outside!” Jason said. “This can’t be a natural occurrence…”

  Looking out the window, we saw a 50-foot snowman rolling towards the school, his bottom section acting like a wheel while his middle and top sections stayed stable.

  “Yeah, ya think?” Lori said, joining us at the window.

  “I agree with Jason!” Marie said, following Lori and standing alongside us.

  “You two, head to the basement and make sure everybody stays calm and nobody misses us,” I said. “Jason and I will switch into uniform and take this thing down.”

  Tanya came running over. “I don’t know what the heck this thing is. I tried to freeze it in time, but it just kept moving. It seems to be immune to my powers.”

  “Well, that stinks!” Jason said. “My guess is that this thing was somehow created by magic. Which means it wouldn’t obey the normal laws of time and space and physics. Hence the reason you can have a giant snowman when it’s way above freezing outside.”

  Jason took out his phone.

  “You’re calling somebody now?” I asked.

  “Yep, Ms. Nancy, Adam’s teacher. Cute little Felipe’s mom. Remember, she’s a royal vampire and way good at magic.”

  I had forgotten that.

  Ms. Nancy’s face filled Jason’s phone screen. “Jason, what a nice surprise. I take it you need some help from me.”

  “I do, Ms. Nancy, ma’am,” Jason said. “Have you ever seen anything like this?” He turned the phone to the outside, giving her a good look at the snowman of doom.

  “Oh, interesting in a scary freaky kind of way,” Ms. Nancy said.

  “Then you know what it is?” I asked.

  “It’s a very large and angry snowman!” she replied.

  Tanya rolled her eyes. “That wasn’t very helpful.”

  Tanya turned into a bunny.

  “Tanya, I do not like to be spoken to that way!” Ms. Nancy scolded her. “Wiggle your ears if you understand.”

  Tanya bunny-wiggled her ears. She morphed back into Tanya.

  “Ms. Nancy, ma’am, any idea where that thing came from?” Jason asked in his best ‘teacher’s pet’ voice.

  “It’s definitely made by magic from a cold dimension. That is all I know. I’m sorry I can’t do more. But, magic is freaky,” Ms. Nancy said. “I suggest you go use pure force on it!”

  I grinned, running outside. “Now that’s something I think we can handle!” Spinning at super speed, I morphed into my brand new blue and red suit. MAC, my computer interface that I wear as a watch, had been helping me experiment with new styles, and so far
, this was my favorite.

  Jason followed me, activating his suit of armor.

  We flew through the air until we got within striking distance of the giant snowman.

  “Stop!” I shouted, holding out my arm.

  The snowman’s second section spun. It lunged angrily at me.

  It then batted at me, flinging me away like I was an annoying little insect.

  “Hey! That’s not how I expect a snowman to act!” Jason lectured.

  The snowman spun, batting Jason in the other direction. I’d stopped spinning away just in time to see Jason activate his reverse thrusters to stop himself.

  We met in the sky above the snowman. The snowman rolled forward, not caring even a tiny bit about us. He rolled closer and closer to the school.

  I decided to try to stop him tactfully. I flew down and lifted him off the ground. The snowman was heavy and hard to balance. Pushing upward, I forced him up into the air. We rose up ten, maybe fifteen yards. Just as I thought I literally had the upper hand, the snowman leaped up from my grasp and fell back on top of me. The force of the big snowman plowing down onto me drove me into the ground. The snowman landed on me with a giant plop.

  It hurt.

  The big snow beast jumped up again. It came pounding down on me even harder.

  Jason flew over and blasted the snowman with some heat beams. I got the impression the snowman considered those to be nothing more than annoying bug bites. The snowman pretty much decided to continue jumping up and down, pounding on me. I couldn’t let it keep this up.

  The snowman jumped up. I darted out of the way. Flying up into the air, I raced about a mile away. I needed to pick up speed. Once I felt I’d picked up enough momentum, I turned back towards the giant snowman. I forced myself to fly faster and faster, picking up more and more speed.

  Closing in from behind, I held out both my arms and smashed through the snowman’s middle section. Not giving it any chance to recover, I flew up towards its head. Pulling my own head back, I smashed the snowman’s head into thousands of snowflakes.

  All the while, Jason gave me back up by blasting away and away.

  The snowman dropped to the ground.

  The flakes started to flow back towards the main body of the snowman. Within a second, the snowman had reformed. Its wide smile turned into a frown.

  “Ho, Ho; No, No!” it shouted, waving a snowy fist at us.

  Jason and I hovered above it, figuring we were safe from a distance. The snowman turned and pointed its butt at us.

  “Oh, I don’t like the looks of this at all!” Jason said.

  The snowman shook its giant behind, launching a barrage of snowballs at us.

  Jason was clobbered by like a dozen snowballs. The force of the balls hitting him, sent him flying backward. I let a few snowballs bounce harmlessly off me.

  “You gotta do better than that!” I told the snowman.

  The snowman spun back towards me. He pointed his hands at me, and his fingers turned into icicles. The icicles came flying at me.

  Using my heat vision, I melted the icicles before they came close.

  I clapped my hands together, vibrating a concussion force into the snowman. It shook and shook. The force hurt it. It was time to put the snowman out for good. Thinking cold thoughts, I bombarded it with freezing breath. Even snow can be frozen. By freezing the giant beast, I could stop it in its place. A cone of my breath encased the snowman. The snowman howled, but I didn't stop. It became encased in ice, freezing it solid.

  “Let’s see how you like this!” I shouted at the beast. Flying forward, I smashed into the creature, shattering it into literally thousands of pieces that went flying into the air. Looking upwards, I turned on my heat vision, melting the pieces in midair. The snow creature turned into pockets of harmless steam. I hovered around for a few minutes, waiting to see if the snowman could pull itself back together.

  Adam, Ms. Nancy, and Zeke, the teenage zombie (who was really over 200 years old) appeared in front of me.

  “Adam!” I said. I always felt good seeing my fellow superhero.

  “We came to help out!” he said, his arms and legs on fire. “I thought you could use some super flame.”

  “Probably could have,” I said. “I think I’ve taken care of the beast for good, though.”

  Ms. Nancy sniffed the air. “Yes, all magic traces of it are gone!” Ms. Nancy tapped me on the shoulder. “Good job over-freezing it. Great use of science.”

  Jason flew down to us. “What the heck was that thing?” he asked Ms. Nancy.

  “From what I could see, it was a big nasty snowman!” Zeke said.

  “But why was it here?” I asked.

  “Why are any of us here?” Zeke asked.

  Ms. Nancy snapped her fingers. Zeke’s mouth locked shut. He tried to talk. He could only mumble.

  “Nice touch!” I told Ms. Nancy.

  “Thanks,” she said. “I’ve been dealing with him for a while. He’s a good soul, but a bit of a pain. He’s kind of an acquired taste.”

  “I’ve known him for a while, and I still haven’t acquired one,” I joked.

  “As for the snowman, I have no idea,” Ms. Nancy said. “From the feel of the energy, I just know he wasn’t from here. And by ‘here,’ I mean from this Earth. I have confirmed that he was from another dimension; a bright but cold one.”

  “What does that mean?” I asked.

  Ms. Nancy laughed. “Not really sure. I’m certain you will figure it out. You are a smart girl.”

  A bunch of BMS hovercrafts appeared above us. “We are here for assistance…” a voice from one of the hovercrafts bellowed.

  “Ah, we’ve handled it!” I yelled out to them.

  “Right, we figured that out!” the voice replied. “One of our teams will examine the scene and try to work out what that thing was.”

  The hovercrafts landed. Hana, my dad’s android girlfriend and second in command, walked out of one.

  Ms. Nancy saw the look on my face as Hana jaunted towards us. “I take it you don’t like your future step-mom.”

  “You’re good,” I said.

  “Is it because she’s an android?” Ms. Nancy asked me.

  “I gotta admit, it doesn’t help that my dad is dating a perfect looking woman that he made in a lab,” I told her.

  Ms. Nancy leaned into me and whispered. “I could turn her into a wind-up toy.”

  My eyes must have popped open. “You can?”

  Ms. Nancy grinned. “Of course I can. But so far, she hasn’t done anything to deserve it.”

  Hana walked over to us. Looking Ms. Nancy in the eyes, she said, “Ms. Nancy, I am so glad for your assistance in the matter here today.”

  Yeah, Hana was sharp. She knew how powerful Ms. Nancy could be, and she wanted to stay on her good side.

  Ms. Nancy pointed to Jason and me. “The kids here did most of the work. They fought bravely and intelligently.”

  “Thanks!” Jason said, joining the conversation.

  Hana grinned. “Yes, of course, they did. They are well trained.”

  MAC finally said something. “I, too, am quite proud of them.”

  “MAC, why have you been so quiet?” I asked.

  “There was some sort of interference in the air, making it impossible for me to talk,” Mac said.

  “Now THAT is weird!” Hana replied. “MAC is built using only the finest technology that money can buy. That should not have happened.”

  “I’m guessing the magic that created and brought the giant snowman to life also blocked out a lot of communications. It takes some pretty powerful magic to create such a creature, let alone being able to send them to a different dimension,” Ms. Nancy said.

  “Could you do it?” I asked Ms. Nancy.

  Ms. Nancy nodded. “I could, but it would be difficult and draining.”

  “Any idea who or what could have done this?” Hana asked Ms. Nancy.

  “Nope,” she replied. “Certainly nobody I know. T
he magic signature was different.”

  “Magic signature?” Jason asked.

  Zeke spoke up. “Magic is energy and leaves unique traces. The trace it left on Ms. Nancy has never been seen!”

  Ms. Nancy nodded. “Correct, I’m glad I let you speak again.”

  Police Chief Michaels and a few of his men walked over to us.

  “Chief, thank you for staying out of this and letting our team handle it,” Hana said.

  The chief took off his hat. “While I hate letting others do our work for us, my men and I had no idea how to tangle with that creature. We’re glad you and your people were here.”

  “It’s the least we could do, sir,” Jason said, in a little bit of a fake voice, since his dad had no idea Jason’s job for BMS Labs was putting on armor and fighting super beasts.

  “My son does lab work for you guys. I’m proud he is a part of your team!” Chief Michaels said.

  Zeke, who knew the truth started to laugh and laugh. He actually doubled over with laughter.

  “Zeke, stand up and be serious!” I ordered

  Zeke straightened himself up. “Sorry. I just had a really funny thought about a guy who pretends to be one thing but is really that thing plus something else.”

  “I don’t understand,” the chief said.

  Zeke started to say something else.

  I zapped him in the behind with a little burst of heat vision. He jumped up in the air and started rubbing his butt. He even tried blowing on it. “Ouchie, ouchie, ouchie!” he shouted. “How’d my butt catch on fire?” he gasped.

  “I understand that zombies can burst into flames if they talk too much,” I replied.

  “It’s true,” Jason said in an extra deep voice.

  “Wait! Wait! Wait! Is that true?” Zeke screamed loudly and quickly. “Why has nobody told me this before. Why don’t I know this? I should know this! Right? I know stuff? Right? Oh no, I am doing it now! I’m talking too much!”

  Jason pointed his gloved fist at Zeke, opened his palm, and coated him with foam. “That was anti-flame foam. You will be safe now!” Jason said in his deep voice.
