Chapter 1

No one knows when humans with powers came into being. But one day, people started using their powers in public and caused the world quite a scare. You know the saying, "people are scared of what they don't understand." Well that's exactly what happened. They started regulating when and why people can use their powers. Mostly just telling them they can't use their powers at all. Tensions were at an all time high between the "gifted" and everyone else. I guess you could say that's what created super villains but I prefer to think that super villains weren't created until later on. Some "gifted" humans got tired of being oppressed, of being told what they can and cannot do, that they decided to do something about it.

No one wanted a war, but they all knew that if they just stood by and did nothing, the future for every new "gifted" child will be a terrible one. So they started to attack government facilities until the world would listen to their request. The government knew that if they were to get in a war, they would be on the losing side, so they decided to hear the "gifted" people out.

The "gifted" people just wanted to be treated like human beings and be allowed to use their powers as long as it didn't hurt anyone in the process. The government decided to grant them their request but asked that they could use their powers to stop criminals. At first, they joined the police officers and crime was at a all time low thanks to them.

But like all good things, it has to eventually come to an end. Some "gifted" got tired of doing so much good for so little in return and decided to use their powers for their benefit. This is where I like to think the true super villains were created. The people started to be attacked by super villains until a hero stepped up. His name was the Broken Champion. He had magnetic manipulation. He defeated all of the super villains and became the most famous hero in superhero history.

Once that was over with, the Broken Champion decided that the world needed more superheroes and created a college called Hīrō Daigaku. Once done with high school, people wanting to be superheroes enrolled in it hoping to become superheroes themselves. The Broken Champion is the reason superheroes were finally created. He's the kind of hero I aspire to be.

After doing research, we finally know the kind of people that are born with powers. It's based on blood type. There are only four kinds of blood type that will give someone powers. The four blood types are AB-, AB, A- and B-. People with these blood types are born with powers. Not all powers are useful though. Some people are born with powers like control fish. Let's face it, the only time that power is actually useful is if you're fighting a super villain in the water and that's not going to happen very often.

I was born with AB-, which is the rarest of all blood types. My two half brothers have AB and they already awakened their powers. Tim has the power to stop time for a split second and Eric has the power to control wind. I'm the only one that hasn't awaken my power yet. I know that not everyone awakens their power for a long time but I'm starting to think maybe I just don't have any powers.

"Hey, Laura. Wake up." Eric said.

Eric has light gray hair down to his shoulders and green eyes. He is wearing a white short sleeved shirt with light brown pants and red dress shoes as a uniform.

I wake up and yawn a little. I have long lightning yellow hair down to my back with ocean blue streaks in my hair.

"Don't worry. I'm up, I'm up." I said.

Eric leaves the room as I get up and put my uniform on which is a white short sleeved shirt with a light brown skirt and red dress shoes.

I follow him into the kitchen. Honestly, this is probably the worst part of my day. My step mom hates me for something that's not even my fault. My half brothers and I have the same dad but different moms. Our dad cheated on their mom with my mom and ended up getting her pregnant. A little after my mom got pregnant with me, their mom ended up pregnant with Eric. My mom texted my dad to tell him because she figured he at least deserved to know. A few years after I was born she was killed by a super villain and when my dad found out, he decided to take me in since he is my father. I instantly bonded with my half brothers, but my step mom hated me because it was a constant reminder that her husband had cheated on her. To this day, she still hates me and gives me a hard time whenever we eat together.

My dad looks up from the paper. "Hey kids. So what are your plans for today since today is the last day of school?"

He has short garnet red hair and purple eyes. He's wearing a black t-shirt with white pants.

"I'm going to hang out with Scotty. There's this new movie about my favorite superhero: the Mighty Angel." I answered.

Eric shrugged. "Probably just train a little to be prepared for the entrance test for Hīrō Daigaku."

I grabbed my toast and grabbed everything I needed for the last day. "Come on, Eric. Let's go before we are late."

We both rush out the door and start our quick walk to school. Once we get there, I see my best friend Scotty waiting for me at the gate. He has brown slicked back hair with short sides and pink eyes. He's wearing the same uniform as Eric.

"It's about time you guys got here. I honestly thought you were going to be late for the last day of high school." Scotty said.

I scoffed at him. "Like we would be late for school."

Scotty laughed. "You're late like all the time Laura."

I rubbed the back of my head sheepishly. "Shut it." Eric and I started walking ahead without him.

"Hey. You can't just leave without me." He said while walking fast to catch up to us.

We got into class and took our seats and talked while waiting for our teacher to arrive.

He finally came in and put his briefcase down on his desk. "I'll keep this brief since you guys are probably too excited to even listen to me. I wish you all luck on all of your future endeavors. I know some of you here want to be superheroes and I hope that you can be the best heroes as possible. Never give up and continue on the road called your future. For those of you that can't be superheroes, I hope you know what you want to do with your life that will make you happy. Don't do anything just because you think that's all you can do, but because that's what you want to do. Now congratulations on passing high school. You may chat with each other until the end of class." The teacher said.

Scotty and I were walking in comfortable silence. School was over for the day so we decided to see the early showing of the Mighty Angel movie.

"Hey, Laura." Scotty said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Are you still going to try to get into Hīrō Daigaku with me?" He asked.

I stopped moving and stared at him. "What's the point? I doubt I have any power anyway."

"But, you have AB- blood type. That means you do have some kind of power." He argued.

"Then why hasn't it awakened yet!?" I shouted. I paused for a minute to calm myself down. "Maybe their research is wrong. There's nothing special about me. I'll just help my dad with his shop and go to a normal college. You are going to have to go on without me."

"But Laura. This was always our plan." He said, sadness clear in his eyes.

"Don't worry about me. Go to Hīrō Daigaku and be the best superhero ever. For me." I said with a fake smile on my face.

He stared at me for a minute. "Okay. I'll dedicate my first villain fight to you."

"Good." I said.

We went to the movie and watched the best movie in the whole world. There was so much explosions, fighting and best of all: so much Mighty Angel. If I had super powers I would become the kind of hero that she is.

After the movie, we both went our separate ways. I made it home just in time for dinner. Stepmom made hot dogs and French fries. Yum! I was in such a great mood, I didn't think anything could ruin my mood. Boy was I wrong.

"Is anyone going to have that last hot dog?" I asked.

My half brother and dad shook their head no so I went to reach for the last one until my stepmom took it.

"You can't have the last one. It's for your brother." She said.

She has long curly purple hair and brown eyes. She's wearing a light brown sweater and blue jeans.

"But Eric said he didn't want it." I argued.

"Well he will probably change his mind when he's done with his food." She countered.

"Why are you always like this?" I asked angrily.

"Like what?" She asked.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're always against what I say. I bet if I had Eric say anything I'm thinking you would say yes to him but no to me. What is your problem with me?!" I shouted.

It was completely silent in the room. Dad looked like he wanted to say something but was too afraid to get involved. For a guy with powers you would think he wouldn't be so scared of his powerless wife. She finally decided to speak after a few more minutes.

"My problem is you're the kid of that whore. Every time I look at you I'm reminded of that bitch that slept with my husband!" She said.

"Well if that's what your problem is then how about I get out of your hair right now." I said.

I got my jacket, put my sneakers on and ran out the door. I ran to my secret place which up a steep hill in the woods. Once I got to the top, I screamed "Dammit!" from the top of my lungs and laid on the ground.

Why can't I just have a power like my mom? She was the coolest superhero ever. Man do I miss you mom.

"Ahhhh!" A lady screamed echoed throughout the woods.

"Oh no, some lady is in trouble." I said aloud to no one.

I ran in the direction of the scream without thinking of the consequences. Once I got there, I saw this lady with long blonde hair in a pompadour ponytail with purple eyes laying on the ground. She was wearing an ice blue blouse and a ice blue skirt with a white belt with an ice symbol on her chest and white boots. This guy was across from her, walking toward her slowly but menacingly. He has short black hair down to his earlobes and brown eyes. He was wearing a black jumpsuit with a black mask covering his eyes that allows him to see in the dark.

"Get away from her!" I shouted.

He stopped moving toward her and stared at me.

Crap. What was I thinking? How can I save her when I don't even have a power. This is suicide! I thought to myself.

He ran at me with a maniacal look on his face. Right when he was about to reach me, I closed my eyes.

This is it. I'm going to die a coward. I thought to myself.

Right when he was about to stab me in the heart, lightning came out of my hands and zapped him in the chest, knocking him unconscious.

I opened my eyes and looked at my hands. Did I do that? I asked myself.

The lady got up and approached me. "What you did was really impressive. Have you ever thought about applying for Hīrō Daigaku?" She asked me.

"More than anything!" I answered. "But there's no way someone like me would get in to such a prestigious school like that."

"I would have to disagree. After what I saw, I would have to say you have what heroes need to succeed. You're courageous and you want to help people in need. I can see you going far as a superhero." She said. "By the way, my name is Juliet Diamond. I'm the assistant of the headmaster at Hīrō Daigaku and I'm a teacher there. But what you probably know me as is Ice Raven."

"You're the Ice Raven!?" I shouted.

"Yes I am. The only reason he even almost had me was because he hit me with a dart that wouldn't let me use my powers for a certain amount of time." She said.

"Wow. Hard to believe something like that exists." I said.

"Yeah it is. Now, what do you say? Are you going to apply for Hīrō Daigaku?" Juliet asked.

I smiled big and nodded my head. "Of course."
