Once upon a time there was a woman named Beatrice. Beatrice lived in a town called Crowdstown which is right next to the ocean, some may call it a coastal town. Beatrice had an unusual life because she was unaffected by air and water. She could breathe under the sea when she was needed there, and then when her powers were needed on land she could also breathe there! Beatrice was so unique that she could talk to the fish in the sea. Some fish were big fans of her, and they always came up to get autographs from her. Other fish were jealous that she had the power to live above and below water.

Along with Beatrice being able to have this awesome superpower of being able to live in these places, her ligaments were elastic! What this means is she could stretch for miles without being hurt. This was good for when she was fighting crime. Beatrice had a skin color that no one would miss in the sun. Her skin color glowed a beautiful silver-white color. Everyone around said her skin looks soft.

During the daytime, Beatrice goes to high school solving math problems and writing English essays. At night she becomes a superhero saving people from burning buildings since it is rare for her to burn up. The firefighters appreciate all she does. She also helps by stopping crime, the police even gave her a car! When she is needed under the sea, she helps do her daily duties like bring food and fun treats for the fish that need it. She also helps them with crime if anything begins to brew. The fish have their own way to contact her by just the press of a button! When she needs help going somewhere dark in the sea, she calls on her sidekick Beth, who is an angler fish.

Angler fish are very important in the sea, they live between 0-1000m in the Atlantic and Antarctic Ocean. Beth has a bioluminescence glow that helps Beatrice see when she is in the depths of the ocean. When Beatrice needs to go somewhere fast, she then calls onto her other sea life friends, like the sailfish. A sailfish can swim up to 70 mph! Beatrice recently started making important things for the government. She started making rocket engines, solar panels, and jet engines, which are very important for NASA. Since Beatrice does not get hot, she can easily make these things without any destruction. With Beatrice helping the government, she has gotten nationally noticed multiple times, so everyone knows who she is. Beatrice is very much needed throughout the community, and they all thank her for all she does. Although she is just a teenager, she is a superhero in everyone’s eyes.
