CHAPTER 1
When Anne Munroe was seven years old she was already on her death bed. She had a fatal disease called H-N24. She was not able to move and she only had a few weeks of life left. Members of her family and friends all paid their last respects. However, a few days before she was expected to die a professor, that was developing a new drug for this disease, offered the family some hope. The family accepted to use this new drug as this was the only hope of rescuing their daughter.
Anne was taken to the hospital where the experiment would take place she was joined with another child. His name was Tim Osiris and also had the same degenerative disease. The professor, called Dr. Kymoto, injected the suffering patients with a serum created in his underground laboratory. Initially the drug did not seem to work however, a few days later Anne woke from a deep sleep to find the boy who she had met at the hospital next to her. She heard her mother's voice,
"It's worked! Tim has recovered; do you remember him from the other day?"
"Yes...Hi Tim" Anne whispered.
"Wonderful, you can finally speak; I thought I had lost you." Anne's mother said energetically.
Anne could now continue her life the way she never thought she would again.
"I'll let you talk to Tim I'm sure you would like to chat to him" Said Anne's mum.
Tim and Anne were talking together about their hobbies; playing football, playing tag and many other games children enjoy. However after about 5 minutes a strange topic was brought up.
"What's your superhero power?" Tim asked inquisitively.
Anne didn't know what on earth Tim was talking about. "What are you talking about?"
"Well I can fly, what can you do?" Anne still didn't understand.
"Well I don't know... em... how do you get them?" Anne asked
"I woke up with it I went out to the park yesterday and it just sort of happened. I was flying around everywhere." Tim explained.
"Did anyone see you?" Anne asked worryingly.
"I don't think so"
"Good you can't tell anyone, not even your mum" Anne knew you couldn't tell anyone because she had read superhero comics and those heroes never reveal their secret identities.
Anne was trying for weeks to get her powers but she had no luck. She tried flying, pushing heavy things and even firing beams out of her eyes. She thought she would never get her powers. However, one day when Anne was in the shower getting ready for school she found out that she really was a super-hero after all. Anne was able to turn her body into liquid.
In the next few months Anne met up with Tim and they would try out their powers. Anne learnt how to do different things like change her body into water animals and grow bigger than she really was. On the other hand, all that Tim could do was fly around in the sky. Tim was secretly jealous of Anne and wanted to be better than her. He would do anything.

On the other hand, all that Tim could do was fly around in the sky. Tim was secretly jealous of Anne and wanted to be better than her. He would do anything.
CHAPTER 2
Anne and Tim were now both 21 years of age and decided that they would now start to save people and become superheroes. They decided to choose London as it seemed the place they were needed most. Anne was a fashion designer so she designed their costumes. Anne wore black gloves and boots she had blue hair, a blue cape and a liquid metal suit on which she could change as her powers enabled her to do.
Tim wore a Yellow and red superhero suit, a red mask, Yellow cape and had yellow bandaged wrist guards. He also had an Egyptian bird emblem on his chest. This emblem also was connected to his new superhero name, Horus, named after the ancient Egyptian god of the sky. Anne decided her superhero name would be torrent.
The crime fighting team were doing great, helping the police to arrest criminals, helping old women to get their purses back and rescuing children from burning buildings. However, most of the credit went to Anne, This annoyed Tim as he thought he was not needed and was better off alone in another city. Luckily for Tim a call came out of the blue from a professor called Dr. Kymoto, He knew he recognized this name before, it was the man who cured him from H-N24 when he was seven years old.
"I would like you to meet me in Rome, I need to test a new drug, It will enhance your powers tenfold" said Dr Kymoto.
Tim could not refuse the chance of becoming the new superhero everyone respected and at the same time get one up on Anne.
The next week Tim made up a story about his mother being sick and that he would need to stand down from the position of being Anne's sidekick. Anne was very sympathetic and encouraged him to leave.
When Tim arrived in Rome he met up with Dr. Kymoto. The professor took him to his underground lab where Tim saw various potions and mixtures bubbling in test tubes and flasks, some were green and others purple.
"Is this all safe? Will I have any side effects?" Tim seemed more and more doubtful.
"There's nothing to worry about it is all safe now sit down on that chair." The doctor said in a strange accent pointing to a steel chair hooked up with many different tubes and gadgets.
Tim sat down and the doctor wired him up to the chair explaining the process about to happen. "You will feel a tingle and will pass out, but it's nothing to worry about. You will soon have much greater powers than you used to have."
Dr Kymoto turned on the machine and Tim observed the liquids being pumped into his body. He let out a shocking shriek. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Tim blacked out.
CHAPTER 3
When Tim awoke from his sleep he felt a new sensation around his body. He knew the professor's drug had worked as he felt like he did all those years ago waking up for the first time with his powers when he was 7. The Doctor was standing in front of him. "How do you feel?" The doctor asked.
"I feel great, better than ever." Tim replied with a grin.
"Go on then, Test your new powers" said Dr. Kymoto.
Tim left the laboratory followed by the doctor to the garden above. Tim had new powers as well as his old one; he now had super strength and could break things like bones and turn buildings to rubble with his sound waves. "My new name will be Osirs!" He shouted.
Dr Kymoto asked him to come back to the lab to do further tests but he refused, after all Tim wanted to go home and be the new superhero of London. The Doctor urged Tim to stop but he wasn't listening. "I don't need you anymore Professor!" Tim Shouted.
Tim lifted his hand and crushed Dr. Kymoto's bones with his sound waves. He then flew out of sight into the sky leaving the old man dead.
Anne was worried about Tim and his mum. However, she was very suspicious. It was not like Tim to not call for weeks. She thought about checking it out. As Anne could control liquids she split herself up in all the oceans and rivers of the world looking for Tim. After a few long, boring hours she saw someone flying over the Channel. She instantly knew it was Tim as he had his Horus costume on but it was in different colours, Instead of red and yellow it was yellow and khaki. She suspected something had changed and his mother was not ill at all.
CHAPTER 4
Anne decides to confront Tim. She changes in to her human form and splashes out of the ocean on a jet of water stopping Tim in his tracks.
"Tim is that you?" Anne asked.
Tim was shocked and startled. "Yes, but I'm not called Horus anymore"
"I guessed something was up what happened to your costume?"
"It was rubbish and I am starting new, my new name is Osiris" Tim said in a proud tone of voice.
This deeply hurt Anne's feelings and she was annoyed at him.
"You've changed" Anne believed.
"I know, now I don't have to be your sidekick anymore." Tim said.
"I didn't know you felt that way." Anne said surprised
"You see Dr. Kymoto gave me a new drug, now I have new powers and will become London's new superhero!" He exclaimed
"Where is the doctor now?" Anne asked
"Oh, he was no use to me anymore, I disposed of him." Anne looked horrified.
"You mean you've killed him?" She asked
"Yes" Tim joked "And you're next on my list!
Anne was shocked, "I never knew you were this jealous of me!"
Anne swam hurriedly towards London closely followed by Tim flying over her. She entered the Thames. She didn't want to fight him, he was her best friend for most of her life, but she knew he wouldn't stop killing more innocent people unless she did something.
"Where are you Torrent, come out, I'll get you eventually!" Osiris shouted. Anne couldn't fight now or she would risk people recognising her as she was not in her costume. Anne had some time as she knew Osiris would not do much harm until she was dead. As long as she got to her house she would be fine.
Anne came up from the plughole in her bath; she had gone through the sewers which were filthy. She entered her house and changed, she was ready to fight Tim. In the City Osiris flew above the streets of London thinking to himself "Soon this will all be mine!"
CHAPTER 5
Anne was lurking in the water behind Osiris, She would go for surprise tactics, but little did she know Osiris had already sensed her movements. She leapt out of the Thames as a giant made of water; she was as big as Canary Wharf and grabbed Osiris. Osiris struggled, "Let me go I'm sorry for what I've done, stop!" Torrent let him go. "Ha you're more gullible than I thought" Torrent had been tricked.
The happenings had magnetised the media and people were watching the live goings on in their living rooms. People all around the world were tuning in and it was breaking news in almost every country over the globe.
Osiris started to beat her up, punches, kicks but she just changed to water and it didn't hurt. It was an even battle right the way through. Torrent wrapped him up in water so that Osiris wouldn't escape. However Osiris broke free with his sound waves and she was flung on to the pavement on the bank of the river. She got up struggling and covered in scrapes and bruises. "Why would you do something like this?" Anne shouted.
"Because you've been better than me all my life and I won't allow you to be better than me anymore!" He shouted.
Osiris tensed up and a dome of light came out of him and covered London.
"What have you done?" Anne screamed "It's boiling"
The temperature was 52°. Anne was able to take the heat because of her powers but she knew ordinary people would die in these conditions. Osiris had a huge grin across his face, Torrent had had enough of him and his evil plans.
CHAPTER 6
Torrent had thought of a way to try to cool down London, It had taken her a while but she was confident in her idea. She would use very cold water and cover the Dome of light Osiris had created. This would cool down the temperature.
"Osiris, I give up, you are too strong, you can be the superhero of London" Said Torrent
"I thought you would, but I still have to kill you." Osiris shouted down.
"Not really!" Torrent jumped high into the sky and covered London with her icy cold water. Osiris seemed shocked.
"You haven't stopped me though; I will stay here until I die!" He said
"Well then I'll have to kill you!" Torrent said with a grin on her face.
"How do you suppose to do that?" The super villain proclaimed.
Torrent was stuck she didn't know what to do. She looked down to the crowd they were cheering her name. She saw people drinking water and people jumping around shouting words of encouragement. Then suddenly she was overwhelmed with pain. Osiris had punched her in the back, with his super strength it was excruciating.
Then it came to her, she knew what to do. The people down on the ground had given her an idea.
"Osiris," said Torrent in a painful voice. "Humans are made up of 80% water."
"So...?" He asked inquisitively
"I can draw it all out of you!" She said slightly winded.
Torrent raised her hand, and started to suck all of Osiris' water out of him.
"Noooo!" He shouted.
The dome of heat stopped, and so Torrent ended her dome as well.
Osiris had turned into sand and floated away in the wind. Torrent put his water into the Thames. She was sad her friend was dead, but had saved London and its inhabitants.
A few days later the celebrations began and Torrent was paraded through the city streets, she was considered a hero and a role model to young children. Everyone around the world knows her and she still protects London 10 years on. As for Osiris he hasn't been seen since.
