"Brigid. We're here." My Dad's voice brings me back to the present. We pull up in front of the Legion of Superheroes' Headquarters. My Dad is in the military and has to go and fight in a foreign country for a few weeks. Since he is good friends with the Legion, he convinced them to let me stay with them while he is away because of his military career. I am thirteen now and missing my Homeland more than ever. We get out of the car, get out my luggage, the cat in her carrier, and walk up to the door and ring the doorbell.
While we wait for someone to open the door dad says "Are you nervous Brigid?"
Big time! Especially with you going off to war. I can't even imagine what i would do without you if you were to go and get killed.
"Yeah, Dad just a wee bit."
"Just relax these guys are just like you and your friends."
Just then, Superman opens the door and greets Dad. Next, Dad introduces me to Superman.
"Glad to meet you Brigid."
"Right, glad to meet you too," I say with a slightly nervous blush. My Irish accent usually gets laughed at by others. Though Superman didn't laugh he just gave me an accepting smile
He reaches for one of my bags and says "Come on in and I'll introduce you to the others."
So the three of us go inside and find the other Legionaires.
"Nice to have you Brigid, I hope you enjoy your stay" Timberwolf says.
"Right, thank you" I reply with a nervous smile and blushing cheeks.
Wow! He really is sweeter than he looks. I'm sure I'm going to get along with these guys just fine.
"Hi Brigid, it's nice to finally meet you. Your dad has told us so much about you," says Saturn Girl.
Once I had been introduced to Timberwolf, Saturn Girl, Phantom Girl, and Lightning Lad, Timberwolf and Saturn Girl lead me upstairs
"Brigid, this is your room." Saturn Girl says as she opens the door to a room with lilac colored walls, a daybed with sheets that match the walls, and a great view of the city. "Just next door on the right is Timberwolf's room and I'm on the left over here. Do you need any help getting unpacked?"
"No, thanks for asking though" I reply.
Oh my gosh! This looks just like my room at home I wonder if they knew my room at home is like this.
After I had gotten unpacked, I put on my favorite dress. When I get back down stairs, Dad suggests that I give the legion a glimpse into my heritage (meaning he wants me to sing some Irish songs). So since I love to sing I agree and after supper I perform "Danny Boy" by Chloe Agnew in the auditions section of the Headquarters which is basically a medium sized metal arena with 2-3 entrances and a panel of judges seats lining the upper wall.
"Oh, Danny boy,
the pipes, the pipes are calling
from glen to glen and down the mountian side
the summers gone
and all the flow'rs are falling
'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide."
As I perform I notice Timberwolf talking to Superman and Dad. After I finish Superman says "Brigid, I assume you know of Legion auditions right?"
"Yeah, I know they are very frustrating to you guys."
Especially Lightning Lad. I wonder why he gets so upset about Legion Auditions.
"Well I was wondering, since you seem to enjoy performing, if you would mind singing for us during Legion auditions."
Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! The Legion wants me to sing for them of all people!
"Sure, that would be great. Thank you!"
