So, needed a break from my story Responsibilities and this came to mind. Thinking of making it a full story :)

Prologue-Meeting

The world had superheroes. It was no big deal. At least, in the present day it wasn't. Hiccup remembered learning in high school about when the first people, supers, mutants-whatever it was you wanted to call them-emerged. It had been a messy ordeal. The 1940's had been filled with hate and ignorance as those who were discovered with powers were discriminated against.

But, with superheroes came super villains. Not everyone who had messed up genes and mutated cells wanted to use them for the good of all. No shocker there. When the first villain rose, then fell at the hands of heroes, they became supers.

There were fewer of them now. Genes carrying the mutated cells died off and now one group remained. They called themselves The Guardians and protected Earth from everything, and everyone, that tried to destroy it.

Never once, in his ordinary, boring, perfectly-average life, did Hiccup Haddock think he would be joining them.

The air in the jeep was warm; too warm. Hiccup could feel himself sweating underneath his sweatshirt. Maybe it was just him. The two men, both in black suits with black shades, hadn't said a word to him since they took him.

Hiccup shook his head, trying to discard the memory of his…explosion.

He'd hoped he would get away with it, but a mere three hours later, the suits were banging on his front door. Hiccup lived alone, so no explanations were needed, but he silently wondered if he would ever see anyone from his past life again.

The rubber bottoms of his sneakers tapped repeatedly on the floor of the backseat of the jeep that was now rolling on a dirt road. He didn't remember leaving the highway, but they'd been on the road for hours now.

Wherever they were taking him, they had to be getting close.

"Am I in trouble?" Hiccup said his first words since being shoved in the car. He inwardly cursed as his voice cracked.

The man in the passenger turned his head slightly. Hiccup was surprised he responded at all.

"Don't worry, kid," he told him, in the same gruff voice he'd used hours ago. "We'll take care of everything. Anyone who saw you will have their short-term memory erased."

Saw him. Anyone who saw him loose control. Saw his body transform into…whatever that was. He still wasn't sure.

"I was alone," Hiccup mumbled. "And walking home. I was walking home after being at work all night. It was so early I don't think anyone saw."

"Good."

There was silence again. The jeep suddenly turned onto another dirt road and Hiccup could see a building approaching. His stomach churned and he gripped his old black backpack tighter.

When they finally pulled up in front of the building, Hiccup was surprised at how normal it looked. It seemed to be a small, simple white house. Flower boxes under the windows were full of color and the dark wood door was bright in the sunlight. There was nothing for miles. As Hiccup emerged from the backseat, he tried to find something on the horizon. Nothing. He was in the middle of nowhere.

The suit that had spoken to him before motioned for him to follow. Together they approached the house and the other suit walked in.

The inside was what Hiccup had expected a place supers called home to look like.

They were in a small room. It was all metal with a single, florescent light above them. One of the suits pressed a small button on the opposite wall Hiccup hadn't noticed and the metal wall slide open to reveal an elevator.

Hiccup hooked his bag on one shoulder then stepped into the small space. Suddenly, he realized he wasn't being followed.

"Aren't you guys coming?" he asked, nervously.

One of the suits-he couldn't really tell them apart-smirked. "Only supers belong down there kid. Good luck."

Supers. Hiccup was a super now.

With a final nod, the door closed and Hiccup saw their faces for the last time.

He could feel the elevator moving and moving quickly. His hand felt slick on the strap of his bag and his sneaker continued its tapping. What was going to happen when the door opened? Would he be rejected? Declared a freak or too dangerous to be deemed a protector of Earth? What if he was deemed a protector of the world? What then?

Where he was going was deep; far too deep for any normal building. It was several minutes before the swift elevator came to a stop.

He tried to steady his breath and wipe his sweaty hands on his jeans before the doors opened.

When they did, he ignored the flip of his stomach and entered into a large, widely lit room. The ceilings were high, bookcases covered the walls, and several couches scattered the room. There was even a TV shoved into one of the corners, but Hiccup wasn't paying attention to that.

He was starring, wide eyed, at the faces in front of him. Of course, he'd seen them several times. They were always on the news, whether as a team or during individual rescues. Their suits stood out brightly in the bright lights and Hiccup suddenly felt awkward in his sweatshirt and jeans.

Taking a breath, he gripped the strap of his bag tighter and raised a palm in greeting.

"Uh, hey," he stammered.

"Hi new guy!" The high pitched, girly voice came from a petite figure. Her blonde hair was knotted in a large braid that fell nearly to her knees and her soft pink outfit reflected her bubbly smile.

Hiccup knew her. Not her real name, of course, but her superhero name. He knew all of them.

The one who spoke was Canary. Her sonic voice and healing powers were hidden by her bright smile and innocence that seemed to radiate off of her. She was standing next to the twins, both wearing black and white and sporting similar blonde hair. Evo and Battery were famous for destroying as much public property as they saved. It was almost expected, one twin could control electricity while her brother could evolve to survive it. What did one expect to happen? Frost with his dark brown hair similar to Hiccup's, had bright blue suit matched the ice and snow that could erupt from his fingertips. Tank was on the opposite side. He smirked and flexed his impressive muscles when Hiccup's eyes landed on him. It was no secret he could carry a building if he tried.

Then, in the middle of the most incredible people Hiccup had ever met, was the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. Shadow was something different. Her power wasn't as impressive on the eyes, but she was the one you couldn't pay Hiccup enough to fight. Her stealth was the envy of every assassin in the world. Her aim, with any weapon she was handed, never failed. The bright blue eyes she possessed seemed to stand out against the dark gray suit she wore, but that only allowed for Hiccup to see them narrow at him easier.

"Welcome, new guy." Shadow's voice cut through the air like a knife; a complete contrasts to Canary's. "Ready to be a Guardian?"

What do you think of the prologue? Hope you all enjoy :) Not sure if this will be a drabble series, or full fledged story. Send me your opinions :)
