What do you desire?.....

A year had passed and Eddie was finding out how hard it truly was to create a company. One would think that with his current intelligence it would be easy to create a company and it was but Eddie needed someone to be the face of the company someone to take all the heat while her controlled things from the shadows.

After Grandma Agnes's death Eddie found it hard to be at home. He was always traveling from party to party city to city. This night he had decided to party in National city.

Though he was only 13 he could easily pass for 15 maybe even 16 getting into high school parties wasn't a problem. He was leaning against the wall a drink in his hand enjoying the music when a girl with fiery red hair approached him.

"Why can't I hear your mind, everyone else's are like stereos with the sound all the way up but yours is like a dark room, quiet why?" Eddie only smiled hearing her question he knew exactly who she was most wouldn't but he did. Her name was lilith also known as Omen to him she looked like Cheryl blossom from Riverdale.

"There are somethings in this world you shouldn't hear." Eddie smiled at her confusion "Now tell me what do you desire." Lilith's eyes glazed before regaining their light she looked Eddie in the face "I just want the noise to stop." Eddie felt cheap using someone else's trick but he just nodded knowing how much of a pain it was to constantly hear the voices of everyone around you. He was glad his powers just did what He wanted. He reached his hand forward placing his palm on Lilith's forehead, he smiled as he saw her visibly relax.

She opened her eyes smiling as he removed his hand "Thank you it's been so long I forgot the sound of my own thoughts."

"This doesn't seem to be your scene why are you here." Eddie sipped his drink looking towards Lillith who seemed dressed for a funeral compared to everyone else.

"I was looking for you I just expected to be able to read your mind i usually can."

"ah i see precognition led you to me, the universe must be answering my prayers because you're exactly what I've been looking for, well kind of at least." Eddie laughed as he escorted Lillith to the door. Though had he been paying attention he would have noticed another girl watching him from the shadows with tears in her eyes. ( Does anyone wanna know who she is let's just say she a couple years older and officially pregnant. Guess in the comments or don't, like I care.)

Once outside Eddie offered his arm lilith grabbed on and they walked off into the darkness.

Inside a cafe Lilith was sitting next to a relaxed Eddie. "Well first question is how old are you."

"I'm 18 what about you?" Lillith returned the question she thought of Eddie as quite handsome.

"I'm 13 not that it matters." Lillith couldn't believe it no matter how she looked at their was no way Eddie was 13. "Lets not focus too much on the small things I want to know why you're looking for me. If I like your answer I'll consider telling you why I'm in need of someone like you."

Lillith paused readying her answer. "I had a vision, one of me standing next to you with Angel wings. In the sky Aliens were invading you sent me away before taking on the lot mostly by yourself.That's all I saw but we were obviously connected in some sort of way." 'I don't think anyone would fight aliens for me." Lillith wasn't aware that there were other mind readers on earth. Eddie nodded reading her most recent thoughts he knew she was telling the truth he just wasn't sure which group of aliens he was fighting. the dominators or the people of Daxam.

"I believe you what i need you for is simple I need you to be the face of my company. To take all the publicity and credit while I handle things in the background." Lillith smiled she was glad he didn't think she was crazy and if being the face of his company led her to the future she saw than she would do so gladly.

"So what's the company called." Lillith leaned back finally relaxed.

"Cobalt Industries."

"Never heard of it." Lillith spoke.

" Of course you haven't, it hasn't been created yet."

"Wait so you want me to be the face of a company that hasn't been created yet I take it back you might be even younger than 13." Lillith was in shock the company didn't even exist yet he wanted her to run it.

"I couldn't create the company without someone to take the credit. I've been prepared for this since I was 7 years old but I didn't want to be know as a child genius. I exercised patience and look at me now i didn't find you, you found me." Eddie was frustrated he was supposed to meet a girl tonight but she never showed he reminded himself to check up on her.

"Now do you have a family or a place to stay." Eddie looked at Lillith he knew her story but he couldn't tell her that. She shook her head no, "You can stay with me, my parents won't mind and even if they did I'll just Jedi mind trick them."

Lillith face turned grim hearing that Eddie felt her turn tense. "I'm kidding, my folks are far too loving for me to ever do that thought i won't say i haven't thought about it." (I don't know why I wrote that.)

Eddie stood up exiting the cafe with Lillith following. He stopped in a cafe unfurling his wings, Lillith paused looking at the teenager that could truly be an Angel. she had seen the wings in her vision but she was sure she'd always be surprised by them, they were beautiful. "Can I touch them?"

Eddie smiled before nodding, Lillith quickly got too rubbing his wings like a puppy. He had only shown one other person his wings and her reaction was very much the same.

"We're leaving." Alex didn't wait as he pulled Lillith into a hug shooting off into the sky.
