History

Andrea Neal was born on February 15, 1984. She was born in Quebec, Canada to Jenna and Louis Neal. At a young age, Andrea’s parent’s divorced and Jenna started to date other women. She now has two moms, Jenna and Kendra Wash. Her family brought up Andrea with love and affection. She saw her dad on a regular basis and has a good relationship with him. She was teased often while growing up because she has two moms. This only made Andrea stronger and gave her a tough skin. She also began to fight in school and ‘beat up’ anyone that made fun of her family. That didn’t stop the teasing though. The teasing got so bad that Andrea and her two moms moved to New York City, to get away from everyone. Andrea was only seven when they moved.

‘Drea’ as her friends and family called her, loved New York! She went to Central Park many times with her parents and loved all the hustle and bustle of the city life. She was eleven when her ability first manifested. Andrea was playing with a ball in her house when it bounced out the window and began to fall all the way to the pavement below. Andrea ran to the window and threw her hand out as if to catch it and the ball stopped mid fall and zoomed up and back into her hand. Of course the young girl was shocked and she dropped the ball anyway. She couldn’t believe what was happening.

She had been reading X-men comics all her life, and her favorite character was Jean Grey. How did she do that? She first thought that she was a mutant and that she needed to find Xavier’s Institute for Gifted Children. She soon realized that would be silly. She decided after a few more mishaps with her powers, that she would train them, so she wouldn’t use them on accident around normal people, not wanting to be labeled a ‘freak’. She naturally kept quiet about her abilities and didn’t tell anyone. Over the years she became more and more used to ability she had and even was using it for everything she did. As long as nobody was paying attention. She used her power whenever she was stressed and would just lie in her bed and make various objects move around in her room. Having ‘fun’ with it.

The first not so fun time, she ever used her power was when she had gotten in a fight with Mickey Haze, a bully who was VERY big. Andrea was in her freshman year of high school and the bully had shoved her against the lockers. Andrea got so mad that she pushed herself off the lockers and threw her hands in front of her. Mickey flew across the hall and into the wall, being knocked unconscious and he made a BIG dent in the wall. It was told that he had just lost his balance and fell into the wall. Nevertheless, nobody ever messed with Andrea again in school.

Another surprise hit her that year. Her father Louis had moved to New York as well, and Drea was very excited. She did everything from hunting with her dad, playing paintball and he even teaching her how to fight so that she could always defend herself. They had been exercising regularly together, since she was twelve and they enjoyed long mile runs every morning. She loved her dad very much. Life was going good. Life was great until Andrea was out walking with her dad after a day out and about, when he was shot and killed. He owned some men money from gambling problems. Andrea screamed and freaked out, the result. Well, the guys were thrown so hard into a wall of a building that their spines cracked and they died instantly. Cops could not explain the death of the two men, so it was soon dismissed as a freak accident.

For two years Andrea drew back from everyone. She kept all her emotions bottled in until the day she turned 18. She tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists; she was unsuccessful and began to see a psychologist. Soon, Andrea began to return to her normal self. She started to claim her life back. She went to NYU and received an AA in communications, and she started to work for a temp agency. Not really knowing what she wanted to do in life. She moved out of her parent’s apartment and got her own place. She was enjoying life again and was dating again. She went through a series of boyfriends before she settled on one. Tommy Hawker. He was the perfect guy in a sense, until she soon grew bored with him and broke up with him. He now calls her all the time, trying to get back with her.

Everything changed the day that she was brought in by the Company, she was marked and then set free back to society. At first Andrea freaked out about her memory loss over the pass few days but normal, or as normal as life can be for an Evolved woman. It wasn’t until she started to lose control over her ability that things became crazy again.

It first started with a not being able to control how strong she moved things with her telekinesis and then with her not being able to turn her ability off once she used it. One night as she was making her way home after dinner with her parents, a group of men had noticed that Andrea’s parents were gay and they didn’t like it very much. The men attacked the three women and Andrea was forced to use her ability in front of her mothers. While they fought bravely, Jenna.. her birth mother was killed right in front of her. Andrea then at that point lost total control. Using her ability to savagely kill the men, leaving the alley a bloody mess. Andrea was shocked by what she had done. The two women escaped and began to live on the run. Afraid of what the cops would say to them, it was in San Francisco that the Company finally caught up with her again. They knew of her loss of ability and the control she had. They also knew of the murders she committed. After being deemed to out off control and dangerous to live in the ‘real world’, Andrea was bagged and taken to Level 5.

Andrea has been there now for a while. Her control over her ability has returned and greatly increased. Her abilities stronger than ever, even though she cannot use them since she is in a holding cell. The night her mother was killed, Andrea stopped going by her birth first name. Now all the people on Level 5 and the Company call her.. Dex.

  • Lena is a human drug essentially and that is only the basis of her ability I believe. I have helped her reach new possibilities with her ability and now after speaking to her boyfriend of sorts, I am going to try and teach her how to turn her ability off. She's hot-headed and has a mouth on her, much like me. Danger Factor: She can make you see the stars above.. or is that just purple rabbits? Level: 5
  • Sydney is not officially one of my students but she is close to it. Especially since I like helped the young therapist use her gift and practice with it a little more. Whether or not Sydney takes my up on her help remains to be seen. Danger Factor: Feel what she feels bitch, manic depressant anyone? Level: 5
  • Tiago doesn't have an Evolved ability but he has a great ass. So I am taking him under my wing just because he's hawt and did I mention.. GREAT ASS. Danger Factor: ASS OF STEEL, or just cute butt. Level: 20++ (Don't fuck with him)
