The Hellions Squad

As soon as his training was over, Asher returned to his room for a shower and to put on some real clothes. When he came out of the room, he looked at the katana that was lying on his bed. This was a gift from his tutors.

Although the sword wasn't made of any rare materials, it was still an incredibly well-made sword. Many collectors would pay a good price for it.

Asher picked it up while thinking about the words that his tutors had left for him. He was not anywhere close to a level where he was invincible. If he wanted to become that way, he would need to constantly practice with the sword.

The teen set down the sword before walking over to the mirror to check out the damage that was done to his body over the past month.

When he looked in the full-length mirror, Asher saw that his body was covered in scars. Whether they were big or small, there was barely any part of his body that remained unmarked.

Asher was a slim yet well-built young man of average height, being 5'9, and with pale skin. He had brown eyes and black hair that was soft and straight that parted from the top of his head to frame both sides of his face reaching his ears with two loose strands over his forehead.

Asher went and grabbed his clothes before putting on a black tank top and dark grey pants along with some black boots. He then attached his sword to his waist. Fully outfitted, Asher was about to walk out of the room. But when he placed his hand on the doorknob, it was already twisting.

Backing away, Asher saw Julian open. The other teen looked just as roughed up as Asher had been 20 minutes ago but he wasn't going to let him know that.

"Tsk. The proud king of the lemurs has been put into such a sorry state," Asher said with disdain clearly showing. "I would have thought you would be the ultimate telepath."

Julian wanted to retort but when he saw the state his own body was in, he knew he could say nothing in the situation. All the teen could do was bow his head and push past Asher to get to their bathroom, which he slammed shut.

Asher laughed before walking out of the room and heading toward the kitchen. It had been forever since he had anything other than protein bars.

When he made it to the kitchen, he saw it was filled with a bunch of kids and teens.

'Oh, yeah. School starts in a few days. Most students have been moving in this week.'

Asher pushed past most of them to get to the fridge. He took out a dozen eggs before grabbing a pan and making himself some scrambled eggs. After cooking them up, he took a quarter of his eggs and put them into a bowl before adding syrup and cinnamon to them.

"The rest are for whoever wants em," Asher told them as he walked out of the kitchen. He could hear several people scrambling for the eggs since no one would say no to free food.

Asher was about to walk around the halls to find a quiet place to eat when he heard an announcement over the intercoms.

"Would Julian Keller, Asher Edwards, Sooraya Qadir, Cessily Kincaid, Santo Vaccarro, and Brian Cruz please report to Emma Frost's office? I repeat, Julian Keller, Asher Edwards, Sooraya Qadir, Cessily Kincaid, Santo Vaccarro, and Brian Cruz, please report to Emma Frost's office."

Asher shrugged his shoulders and made his way up to the third floor and into Emma's office. It turned out that he was the last one to arrive. Everyone's eyes turned to Asher and he did the same.

The first person that his eyes landed on was the woman who he looked up to, Emma Frost. She was wearing another piece of clothing that seemed to defy the laws of gravity along. There was also Julian present as well, standing in the center of the group.

On his right were two males. Maybe. One of the people standing next to him was a large rock golem and a young man that looked to be of Hispanic or African-American decent.

On Julian's left were two girls. One of them was a redhead that's entire body was silver and seemed impossibly smooth. Asher could only see the eyes of the other girl for she was wearing a black niqab.

After looking them over, he walked over to the golem's side and stood next to him.

Emma nodded when Asher stood in line and began her speech.

"Now that everyone is here, allow me to give you guys a small introduction to each other. Most of you know each other but I had Julian and Asher doing some special training this past month so you haven't gotten a chance to meet each other yet.

Julian Keller AKA Hellion will be the leader of the Hellions. He has telekinetic powers.

Asher Edwards AKA White Knight will be the co-leader of the Hellions. He can increase the sharpness of almost anything.

Sooraya Qadir AKA Dust can turn into a living sandstorm and control that sand.

Cessily Kincaid AKA Mercury has a body of liquid mercury and can morph her body as she pleases.

Santo Vaccarro AKA Rockslide has a powerful rock body.

Brian Cruz AKA Tag has the ability to tag others which makes others either go closer to or avoid the tagged person.

I have named this squad after the original team that I taught. All of them had died because of mistakes that I had made. I trusted the wrong people and failed to protect them. I also allowed them to manipulate one another because I thought it would not matter. But it did.

The same will not happen to you. I will not allow it!

For the next year, you all will be getting personal guidance from me when you're not in class or training on your own. I have high hopes for you all. You don't have to love each other but you do need to trust each other."

And thus, the Hellions Squad was formed.
