The Child

2019?

I was hanging out with Dad and Aunt Mia when there was a flash of light, I looked up when my dad stopped holding my hand I heard him gasp "Dad?" me and Aunt Mia stopped in our tracks "dad" mia also asks with a tone of disbelief. I looked up to her 'dad?' I mouthed she gives a subtle nod. Not wanting to be seen I slip into to shadows so I'm unseen, I don't particularly like people all that much, I prefer Books or my computer.
I follow my dad in the shadows making sure he's okay "Do you have children" Grandpa asks

Dad says I look at myself 'what am I a sharpie' I think to myself, my dad quickly glanced at the shadows getting pretty close to me "one, I have one child I can't imagine dealing with any more than that" he corrects "Really, What's is the gender or name or whatever" Dad lets out a short laugh "Girl she's a girl, and her name is Xenia and she can come out now" dad said that last part louder and clearly to me, so I shyly stepped forward and waved "hi" It was a mere whisper but by

grandpa's smile he clearly heard me. "Hey, Xenia I'm apparently your grandpa" I giggled, I internally scolded myself for being so shy. "Yeah, I guess you are," I said my voice still betraying how shy I am.
"How old are you," he asked
"15," I said
"How are you doing in school"
"I'm working on my degree"
"In what"
"Advanced Sciences" I respond
"What sciences"
"How many are there that's the answer"
Still shy I grab my dad's hand and start playing with his fingers.
"Wow so you must be really smart"
I blush Scarlet
"I guess," I say even though my inner Smoak is saying 'well no shit, I'm 15 and in college' but I keep it to myself.
"What do you enjoy doing"
"Reading, and messing around with algorithms and spare parts" I answer a little less shyly
Grandpa turns to William "she's a mini felicity" I smile in pride at that as I heard great things about felicity and I even met her once she's great.
After a while, I just wandered around observing how everything looked two decades before.
It was really cool.
I mess with my necklace while looking at the assortment of arrows and pick a couple up in particular

"Cool huh," my dad said seeing my source of wonder.
I nod wordlessly "yeah the aerodynamics of this particular arrow would be off the charts"
"Wanna try," grandpa asked scaring the crap out of me
I smile and grab a familiar bow from the room

I take the advanced arrow and noch it. I breathe in and release the arrow it hitting the center of the bullseye.
I smile "yeah that was nice"
"How good are you?" I grab two wood arrows and shoot one on the bullseye and the other going through the center of the arrow "I'm okay"

"That was more than okay"
