Sliver Raven and Lakota

What is a superhero? To me a superhero is a person who risk their own life to help those in need, despite the danger to their own life.

I am Lakota sidekick to superhero Sliver Raven, all those things I mention about a superhero is true of Sliver Raven.

Sliver Raven is a genuine hero. I know because I'm always with her day and night. I see the things she does for the people around her.

When the call goes out for Sliver Raven, she's always there in minutes taking down the bad guys and saving lives.

The people of Hope's Well have always counted on Sliver Raven when times are tough and Sliver Raven has never let Hope's Well down.

I met Sliver Raven when she was just plain old Emery Collins, and I Morgan Carter. Me and Emery hit it off immediately.

Emery offered me a job at her bookstore. I accepted and we've been together ever since.

I never suspected Emery of living a double life, but slowly the truth started to come out.

I began to suspect Emery was hiding something from me six months into me working at the bookstore.

The first clue came when me and Emery were watching the news, and coverage of a robbery in downtown Hope's Well came on. I was startled because I never seen something like that, but not Emery.

Emery told me she had to leave and I asked her why, but she didn't say. Emery just left, and all of a sudden something came flying heading straight for the bank, it was Sliver Raven.

This was my first time seeing Sliver raven. I was excited and wished Emery was here with me.

In a matter of minutes Sliver Raven took down the bad guys and saved the day.

When Emery came back to the store, I asked her if she saw Sliver Raven. She shrugged.

The second clue came two days later. I was at the market picking up a few things when I saw Emery. We waved at each other, then we both went to pay at the same register. We talked for a few minutes. Emery left first, then me.

We both were walking out of the market when a news bulletin came in. Another robbery in progress. The robbery was again in downtown Hope's Well at a jewelry store.

Emery rushed out of the market. I followed her, but before I could catch her, she disappeared. Then all of a sudden I spotted Sliver Raven, and no Emery in sight.

The third and final clue came a week later and this time I saw it with my own eyes.

I was having lunch in the back of the store, when yet another news bulletin popped up. Another robbery in downtown Hope's Well.

I knew Sliver Raven was going to go stopped them. So, I looked up at the sky in hopes of catching a glimpse of Sliver Raven, but little did I know, I was in for a surprise.

As I was looking up at the sky, I heard the door to the store open, and out came Emery. I wondered what she was doing.

What I saw I couldn't believe. I saw Emery transforming into Sliver Raven. I dropped my food and watched in amazement as Emery/Sliver Raven took to the sky.

When Emery came back, I confronted her. At first she denied being Sliver Raven, little did she know I took a series of pictures of Emery transforming into Sliver Raven.

Emery had no choice, but to tell me the truth. Emery told me how she first discovered her powers.

Emery tells me she was nine years old when she discovered her powers. She was walking home from school when a car nearly hit Emery. She used her eyes to stop the car, and jumped out of the way.

I stood there listening to Emery as she told me more of her story.

Emery then tells me she went home and told her mother what she did. Emery's mother told her that the women in her family, for generations have special powers, and Emery is continuing that legacy.

Emery went on to say that her mother for twenty years helped her hone her powers, then Emery decided she wanted to use her powers for good. Her mother agreed, and Sliver Raven was born.

Emery made me promise I would never tell a soul and for the last six months my lips have been shut.

You are probably wondering how I became Lakota. Well, that is an easy one. Emery/Sliver Raven needed help tracking all the news reports and to keep track of the police, and the people, so she asked me if I want to be her sidekick. I happily agreed.

I choose Lakota as my name because the name represents me and where I come from.

In the six months since I began to help Emery/Sliver Raven, we captured so many bad guys and saved so many lives, but there is one thing I haven't been able to figure out about Emery/Sliver Raven.

I see a picture of a mysterious woman on Emery's desk. I look at the picture everyday, but I haven't been able to ask Emery about it.

I know I have to confront her and that's what I did.

One day while we were at the bookstore, I asked Emery about the picture. Emery looked at me and sighed.

Emery picked up the picture, she told me the woman in the picture is her twin sister Emerson. I was shocked to hear that.

Emery told me Emerson was kidnapped when they were two years old and she was never found.

I was sad for Emery. She lost her sister when she was so young, then Emery told me that she believes the string of robberies are being committed by her sister and her gang known as the Black Ravens.

I told Emery we need to stop them. She agreed.

Emery told me the plan is for me to go to the art store where she believes is the next target and to wait for the Black Ravens. Emery is going to be on the roof of the building across the street.

I agree to the plan.

So here I am in the art store waiting for the Black Ravens. I walk around the store and look at each painting, then the lights go off.

I hear laughter and then bang, the doors and windows explode. I go down, and signal for Sliver Raven.

I see the Black Ravens go all around the store taking the paintings, then I see Emerson standing in front of the store.

Wow she looks just like Emery, long dark hair, blue eyes, its weird seeing someone who looks like my best friend being evil. I know Sliver Raven is coming and here she is.

Sliver Raven enters the store and takes out all of the Black Ravens and now she is standing toe to toe with her sister.

Emerson is no match for Sliver Raven. Sliver Raven has Emerson down when one of the Black Ravens gets up and rushes to Sliver Raven, but before he gets to her I take him out.

Sliver Raven nods to me. I nod back.

The owner of the store comes out and tells Sliver Raven the police are coming. Sliver Raven nods and leaves.

The cops came and I tell them what went down, then I head back to the bookstore.

I see Emery looking at the picture, she tells me that she took the picture the day she found Emerson, but couldn't muster the courage to go and see her.

I hug Emery and I tell "It's going to be alright."

Emery looks at me and tells me "You have been more than just a friend to me, you are my sister. I love you."

I begin to cry.

"I love you to Emery."
