Ten Months Later

I had been living with Hex and Hurricane for almost a year, dreams of Chase no longer plagued me at night, and I had gotten a handle on my abilities.

All of this meant that I should go back to Mission Creek and continue my life.

But I didn't really want to go back to being Chase's helpless girlfriend.

They had come out anyway. Adam, Bree, and Chase's bionic abilities were known to the world, and I didn't know where that left me.

All I knew was that I was never going back.

There was nothing there for me now, Chase had gone to teach at the Bionic Academy, and I didn't belong there.

A lot of things had changed. I was stronger, more independent.

I wasn't the scared little girl hiding from Spike in the cabinet anymore. I could force fire and ice out of my fingertips. I had the elements bending to my will.

This is the end of my story; I know where I belong now.

I belong on the streets fighting for justice and liberty, not for fame and for glory.

My name is (y/n) (l/n), also known as Elemental, and if you're ever in Seattle sometime, look me up.

Maybe I'll tell you a little more about Chase and I.

Maybe not.

My phone's ringing, and I would ignore it, but its a contact I haven't talked to in almost a year.

"Chase?" I said into the phone, pulling a glove onto my hand, "What's up?"

"(Y/n), he begins, and I can hear his heavy breathing on the other line, "How do you feel about joining a team?"

"What kind of team?"

"I've seen what you can do as Elemental, and an old enemy of yours is kind of in our territory."

"Victoria Winter? I locked her up almost six months ago."

"Well, she's back and my team is struggling. Will you come down and help us out?"

"Sure," I replied, "I'll be down in a few hours."

I hung up the phone.

Well, duty calls.

This is my life now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Maybe one day I'll come back and tell you about Victoria Winter and I's first, and last, fight.

But for now, I'm going out into the world and not worrying about this log anymore.
