1 Chapter One: Time to be a Hero!

" People born with extraordinary gifts. They can create fire with their bare hand and others can turn invisible. These gifts are called a superpower. 42% of the population has a superpower that is reported or discovered. Some people with these powers become criminals taking advantage of their powers to take from the weak and powerless. The worst of the criminals who have gone mad with power are called villains. Most superhumans don't use their powers because of the strict laws that stop superhumans from using their power. The criminals became more and more out of police control. Some superhumans decide to take a stand and fight back. They become vigilantes called superheroes. These vigilantes wear costumes to conceal their true identities. Even though they are helping people they are still considered villains. Keep this in mind class. There is more to this topic but, this is all the time we have." A man with gray hair said writing on a whiteboard talking to a group of 14 and 15-year-olds.

Everyone was bored by the speech and was felling to sleep or on their phones. One of the boys in the front. He had brown skin, black hair, and dark grey eyes. He was taking notes on a piece of paper.

Then the bell alarmed. The school was out. Everyone left the room quickly. " Mr. Jackson please stay I need to speak with you." The old man said.

" Oh sure." The black hair boy said stopping before he left the room.

Everyone left the classroom except for the boy.

"Thanks for listening to me and the story. I know you, kids know this story but, it was important. We are the leading school for academics and arts. We can't have our students becoming superheroes. Now can we?" The old man.

" Yes, sir. Being a hero is against the law. As being part of the student council if I see any suspicious people I will report it to the police." The boy said.

" I know you would care, this is why we appreciate you as a student council member." The old man said smiling.

" Thanks, you sir." The boy said.

His name is Luke Jackson. He's the vice president of the student council and his a first year at Hawksfiles high school of fine arts. He is the smartest kid in the entire country. He lives in a very population city called Hawks. The city is known for its superhumans activities both the criminal side and the hero said.

In the band room in the school.

" The song that we are going to play at the concert is Death by Love. We are having practice every other day. Today's practice was great. Goodbye. " A girl with yellow hair with a short haircut. She had an electric guitar in her hands on a small stage.

Everyone left the classroom except for the girl. She was sitting on the stage and was texting someone. Then Luke came into the band room.

" Hey, why are you just sitting alone," Luke said smiling.

" Because an idiot said they were going to walk me home." The girl said annoyed.

" Sorry, Alexis. The meeting ran longer than I thought." Luke said smiling apologetically.

" It's cool. Let's just go. How was your day." Alexis said getting up walking out of the room than the school.

Alexis Chilton loves to play electric guitar. She is one of the best musicians in the school if not the best. Luke and Alexis have been friends since middle school.

" It was okay. A teacher was telling me something about how heroes shouldn't attend our school. It was so annoying. And how I should report any heroes attending our school. I was like yes, sir because I didn't want to get kicked off the council because of an old man. How was your day?" Luke said smiling walking on a sidewalk.

" Good. We have a concert a few weeks from now so, we are trying as hard as we can. How are your parents doing." Alexis said walking.

" Oh they are doing ok I guess. Same as always." Luke said trying to avoid the question.

" Oh, I thought your dad found a job what happens?" Alexis said concerned.

" Well, He was doing good for a couple of weeks then he just stops going. Then a week or so after he went to jail again. He got out a few weeks ago so yeah." Luke said awkwardly.

" How your mom doing. She such a nice person if it was me I would have left him years ago." Alexis said angrily.

" Same as always. She has been working overtime and a second job so yeah but, don't worry. I got a job to help her out." Luke said smiling.

" Ok, I guess we are here, you can come in if you want. " Alexis said stopped at a two-story house.

" Oh it's fine I go to work. Tell your mom I said hey." Luke said waving goodbye as Alexis went into the house.

" Don't stay out too late," Alexis said smiling. She closed the door to her house when she came inside. She stopped smiling immediately. Her expression changed to a look of determination.

She walked upstairs to her room. She closed her door and locked it. Then she took off her school uniform throwing it on the floor. She opened her closet. She grabbed a black hoodie, black sweats, and black boots. Then she sat on a chair on her decker with a mirror. Then she grabbed black lipstick. She put on the lipstick, black eyeliner, black eyeshadow, and put in a pink and purple hair extension in the front of her hair. She looked like a different person with the makeup on. She put the pants, hoodie, and boots on. She put the hood over her head. The hoodie had writing on it saying "Neo" in black, purple, and white marker. She opened the window then leaping out of the window with a purple luminescent trail followed her as she jumped from building to building.
