Arriving at Earth

-In the vast darkness of space-

In space a pod with the inside of a small room, a baby woke up. "Wahhhh!!!!!" and immediately started crying. She doesn't know where she is or how she got there but she wants her parents. *Grumbles* and food. So she kept crying for 30 minutes straight and soon realized that they aren't coming. After all, she was a smart girl.

But, now that she stopped crying she realized she is extremely hungry but without her parents here she didn't know how she was going to eat. It got so unbearable she just wanted to wish away, when suddenly, it did. She opened her eyes to fine herself with strange grey skin with circular line's on her.

She didn't know what was going on but, feeling that her hunger stopped she figured it was a good thing. So with her chubby arm she started touching all around her skin, still not seeing where she is. When she finally did stop the first thing she did was trying to sit up since she can't walk yet, at least she can crawl.

But, she was to focused looking at the stars at that moment to start looking around when she finally got up. So again she spent some time looking at something else, instead of looking around. Few hours later she got bored and finally started looking around and came across a database at the dashboard. But of course she didn't know that. She's a baby.

So with her little brain she started clicking random button until she got one that showed her home world history, she doesn't know much but, considering she doesn't know how to read, so she just kept clicking more stuff until she came across her home world's alphabet. Which is ironically greek from Earth's.

So now she is looking at it and trying to understand it, which is hard considering she doesn't have help. But she have nothing else to do so, she kept trying. And like a sponge she soaked up that world alphabet quite easily, which took three hours. So now she went back to clicking random bottoms because, just because you can read doesn't mean you know what the words mean.

So now she founds herself in Earth's Database which she skipped because she can't read it and now she found herself in Earth's English alphabet and again soaked it up. But this time a little slower because, you can't just go from one language to another. Once she was done with that she started clicking more things and found herself in Earth's Russian Alphabet which she soaked up even slower this time.

Now that she spent 10 hours learning 3 languages she again started clicking random button again and found herself in a dictionary which she use to start connecting letters together. A few days later and now she knows how to speak and Write in three different languages. Which took 4 days, geez the powers of a young brain.

So now knowing how to read and write she again started click buttons but, this time she knows what to click so she went back to her home world's history and started reading it.

Long story short, Her name is Priscilla Rasputin, she comes from a world of aliens where she is a noble and was the next in line for the house of Rasputin. Weird name. Anyway the race that she comes from is a peaceful race of non-harming people that don't use their power to conquer other planets.

But that doesn't mean their pushovers either because they don't take orders from nobody - Which Priscilla was glad for - but, 'The Guardians' don't like that, they think the other races need the Green Lantern's. So it's either your with them or your not. If it's the latter they send the reach after your planet to kill you. Kinda funny how their called "The Guardians."

Now when she read though their powers it's when she understood why she's not hungry anymore. It's also when she realized she's naked. No loli's here boys. So she found the cloths her parents probably gave her when they chucked her in the pod. As she is now fully dressed, she went back to the dashboard and went to Earth's Database and found out that she will get there when she is probably 6 in 1980 during the cold war.

And then she realized she haven't checked everything in this makeshift pod of hers. So she starts crawling around - she's 3 years old now, one year after she left her planet - and finds food in one of her compartments and couldn't help but think how she wished she had those hours ago.

So she takes a energy bar, unravel the rapper and eats it. She didn't know what it tastes like since she haven't tried anything else but she could probably describe it as bland. While she eats it she powers down, reverting to her normal form and crawls to another compartment that has... boxing techniques??? Well, ancient boxing techniques called 'The X Destroyer' but no matter how you look at it, it's still boxing right?

It is now that she realizes what she will do when she gets to Earth. She'll do boxing. Yeah it's not a good idea but she'll only do that when she gets there, when she gets older she'll quit and become a teacher at a school or something, she thought not realizing the dangers she'll get in to.

And so from then on she learn how to walk in a few months turning four. She practiced her boxing which is mainly hitting and dodging while her metal body took the hits. She obviously had to change it, I mean, who wants to see a weird metal girl beat up people? I mean she would be down for it if the people of the planet actually allowed it.

When she turned five she tried talking, making sure her first words are mom and dad. When she heard her voice she was shocked at how it sounded. It sounded like if she was a mix between a little girl and a Russian. Well considering she is a little girl she would expect that but a Russian?

Of course she looks like one and sound like one but she doesn't even know how one acts. Now she looks at her the floor and See's her reflection, long black hair in what she found is a double French braid on Earth, grey metallic eyes which at first scared her because in the dictionary it says that grey/faded eyes means she's blind. Turns out it's natural. She also have freckles on her face which will do good if she added glasses, the perfect disguise.

She looks at herself then nods to her reflection. She already knows what her cover will be once she gets to Earth. She'll be a boxer for a few years while at the same time she goes to school until she graduates high school with good grades, quit boxing once she graduates, go to college with money she earned, earn a few degree's maybe even a master's and retire as a teacher, and maybe have a child or two.

once she finished her thoughts she went to the dashboard and started learning some more. When she was here all she thought about is training to make a life once she gets to Earth. She has not once studied, she probably doesn't even know what one plus one is.

Now she's six years old and has successfully learned K-12 studies, geez, if only kids studied that hard when they were young. The only thing she has to study now is when she goes through college. She also, with the help of the dashboard, created a fake ID. Well it's technically her real since it's her only ID but whatever.

Now she is one Priscilla Rasputin, no middle name. She is Russian, was born in 1974 on June 13th to an American mother while her father is Russian. Both parents died. No siblings. All of a sudden the pod start to slow down and she turns to the window to see she just passed Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and stops at Earth.

She packs her another set of cloths, her ID, the food, her gloves, her house stamp, and her boxing technique - she's not calling it 'The X Destroyer' - , after all she can't start her career without it. She transforms and look back outside to see the Earth growing closer. She knows she's falling. To bad she can't save the pod, it's too advanced for her to fix. Meaning it will start breaking down.

-In Dakota City-

In a manor what looks like a tall black man is standing next to a window looking at what looks like a shooting star. He knows it's not, his super senses can see that it's a ship. But he's not worried, it's not directed to him so he'll stay put. It's not like he used his powers in decades.

-Chicago-

In a apartment a green alien with red eyes is at the window looking outside and see's a space shuttle falling towards the Earth. He detect life on it, but he's not going to go for it. He have no idea what it is, and by looking at it he can tell it's broke down, it's not gonna help him get back home.

-Half the world-

Half the world is looking at the space shuttle falling from the sky, I mean it is only 8:23 PM. While the regular people thinks it's a shooting star, the people with super senses knows what it really is. And they will not go after it, after all if whatever that thing is can survive with their ship getting taking apart and falling from such a hight and still survived they have to be strong. So all of the super powered people is waiting with suspense as they be greeted with... a little person?

They can't really tell it's gender because it's curled up in a ball, but judging by the pants and shirt plus the two tailed French braid that it's in, it probably is a she. But they couldn't see more before it disappeared out of sight.

-The Shuttle-

In the shuttle a girl with grey metallic skin and hair with silver/white eyes is curled up in a ball. This girl is Priscilla who is curled up in a ball with her bag hugged to her chest.

When the last piece of the ship is gone she is still about 100 feet up in the air. So she stands up in the air so when she drops down her boots absorb the vibration making no sound or craters in the ground.

100ft, 75ft, 50ft, 25ft, and touch down. No craters, the only sound was a loud thump when she landed. Perfect, she looks around with a curious face as she starts to recognize where she is. By looking at the database which will probably be gone forever, and the fact there's a big sign in front of her, she recognized she's in New York, Brooklyn. And so she says her first words here on Earth as she thank God that it's night time because it will probably look corny and says with a big smile on her face.

"Don't be a Stranger"

Next chapter will be a little bit of third person plus a little bit of first person. With her finally saying words and seeing it from her point of view.
