            You smile as you begin to look around the room making sure that the blinds were closed, the doors were shut, and that there were no cameras on. What story should I tell them- your thoughts were interrupted by Lizzy.

"Miss Pierce, Mr. Starks A.I. wants to interact. What should I do?"

"Please excuse me, I need to talk to my friend for a little bit, but I promise I'll tell you guys a story today." You explain to the kids as you walked towards the corner of the room leaving the kids to talk a little longer.

"Yeah, try to interact with it, but give it no personal info on who I am or what I'm planning" you had to think strategically, or else Tony might catch onto me.

You walk back to the middle of the circle keeping Lizzy in glasses mode to monitor the conversation.

"Alright, do you guys remember rule number one?" You say hoping that they will follow it.

"Don't tell anyone about your powers or stories" the kids say simultaneously, you want to make sure that the kids do not expose you to anyone because you are afraid you might get hunted down by the government and tested. I hope they listen.

You look on the floor to see a big glass of water along with a couple of rocks. You smile and start to lift your hand and move the rocks to form buildings while you conjure up fire in the other forming it to make a little girl.

"Once there was a girl, she had lived in New York her whole life." You now show the little girl playing with one of the rocks like a soccer ball kicking it around.

"She was playing around one day near a park when she accidently kicked a ball into a dark part of the playground. The little girl was brave she was not going to let a little darkness take away her fun. So, she went over to go pick it up, but when she did, she saw a big, strange, metal ring on the ground" You then make a ring the size of your fist out of the water form the glass on the floor.

"The girl then picks up the silver ring and immediately felt power surging through her veins. The girl was confused on what this strange ring was doing to her. Why do I feel so powerful? Does this ring belong to someone? Your thoughts were interrupted when she heard an old man's voice speak to her. 'Hello little warrior, I see you have found your gift. Use it wisely little one and you will do great things' 'Thank you mister!' she says not aware of what is to come."

You set down the water in the cup and carefully put the rocks on the floor, you vanish the fire and take a bow. The kids clapped as they had amazed looks on their faces.

"Is that story actually real, nobody can actually talk to someone with out being there" One of the kids said unconvinced that, that was real. There was always one, you think to yourself you reach into your pocket pulling out something.

            "Would I lie about something that actually happened" you say holding up the silver ring

"Would I lie about something that actually happened" you say holding up the silver ring. There were gasps and the kid immediately took back what he said.

"Alright guys, I have to go now, remember the rules and if you obey them, I'll come back more." After you said that you hung the ring around you neck and wore it like a necklace. You immediately felt your powers strengthen, you would often get tired if you used your powers to much without wearing the ring.

"(y/n), Tony Stark is headed to the door. I'd advise you to go now so you won't see him" Your eyes widen knowing you might get caught. No, no, no! This cannot happen.

You bolt out the door and accidentally run into someone, you look up to see a man in a casual black suit with a tie, he was also wearing his A.I. glasses.

"Well, hello there."

Thank you so much for reading, it means a lot to me! I'll try and post as much as I can. Feel free to comment on the story! I want to thank my friend Addy Knight for making the amazing chapter cover. now there are many unanswered questions left, Will you get out of that awkward situation with Tony? Will you be taken in? Will the kids brake the rules, exposing you to the world? Will I ever not leave a cliff hanger? See you next chapter on Elemental --- LexiVeillette
