Another Last Embryo — Synopsis

Brockton Bay wasn't built for miracles. It was built to survive them.

Twelve-year-old Chloe Raines lives like a storm bottled in human form — a sharp-tongued, thrill-seeking prodigy with the smirk of someone who's never met a challenge she couldn't crush. Teachers call her a "problem child." Classmates call her scary. Chloe just calls herself bored.

What no one knows is that Chloe isn't supposed to exist.
Born from an impossible act in a world far beyond Earth Bet, she carries within her the sealed echo of a god-killing power — one that shouldn't function in a world ruled by shards and capes.

Her life is quiet until she meets Sophia Hess — the school's lone wolf, a girl just as angry and lost as she is. What starts as irritation turns into curiosity, then fragile friendship, and slowly something warmer. The two misfits find in each other what Brockton Bay has never given them: a reason to care.

But beneath Chloe's laughter and Sophia's defiance, powers older than their world stir.
And when the seal inside Chloe begins to crack, the line between girl and monster, love and disaster, will blur — one choice, one heartbeat, from rewriting everything.

(Sorry I mixed a old edit n posted it and I keep posting the wrong one fuck here's the right one I made 100% sure this time)

Prelude — The Child Who Fell From the Sky

There were no witnesses.
No thunder, no screaming tear in the sky. Just a shimmer — the brief distortion of reality folding over itself — and a small body falling through.

The desert of Little Garden burned gold that day. On one side of the collapsing battlefield stood Azi Dahaka, the three-headed dragon whose malice could devour worlds. On the other, Izayoi Sakamaki, whose laughter mocked gods even as his fists shattered constellations.
The air itself had stopped knowing what "real" meant.

And in that impossible clash, something broke. A fragment of power, of identity — Izayoi's defiance and will — was ripped from him and molded into something new.

A child.
Small. Fragile. Screaming.

Azi Dahaka's creation, born from his enemy's strength. A clone not of flesh but of concept — a being that should not exist.

Before the dragon could claim his victory, the world rebelled.
Space screamed. The child vanished.


---

When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in Little Garden. She was in a crib, wrapped in cheap hospital blankets, in a city that smelled of rust and salt.
The nurses called her a miracle baby.
The doctors wrote found in a flash of light.
The couple that took her in — gentle people named the Raines — simply smiled and said, "Then maybe she's meant for something bright."


---

Years passed.
Chloe Raines grew up in Brockton Bay, a city held together by broken glass and tired hope.
By twelve, she was already outpacing everyone — teachers, classmates, even adults. She fixed machines that shouldn't work, recited theories that shouldn't be possible, and laughed at every limit the world tried to give her.

A genius.
A nuisance.
A girl who felt like the universe was playing a joke she hadn't been told yet.

Sometimes, when she stared at the night sky, she swore she could hear something whisper —
like a memory of laughter in a world that didn't exist.


---

Tomorrow would be her first day at Winslow Middle School.
Another dull, ordinary start in a city that couldn't see the storm quietly waiting to wake inside her.

Synopsis:
Chloe Raines died with a wish on her lips — to be strong enough to live freely, like the hero she admired in the pages of a book.

When she opens her eyes again, the world is unfamiliar.
Rust in the air. Rain on her skin. A city that feels half-asleep and half-rotting, clinging to a heartbeat that refuses to stop.

Brockton Bay is a place where dreams are dangerous and hope is a luxury. Yet somehow, Chloe finds herself smiling — because even here, there's movement, there's life, and maybe… there's a chance to start over.

Her path crosses with a girl named Sophia Hess, whose eyes burn with the same restless energy, the same hunger to run. Between them begins a bond neither of them understand — one built on defiance, motion, and the quiet promise of freedom.

Two girls, one broken city, and a story that begins again where it once should have ended.
The gears of fate are turning once more.

There's something off about this chapter but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
