Chapter 1 Back

The sound of a loud buzzer was blaring through the room. With a swift move, the clock went flying into the wall, engulfed in flames. The pyrokenetic sleepily got up. Slowly, he walked into the bathroom to get ready for school. Then he went down stairs to the kitchen in search of his mom. He found a folded up note on the table. It read:

Warren,
I'm sorry that I had to leave so early,
but I'm needed. Wait for Josie to escort
you to school. Be a good boy and Principal
Powersneeds to talk to you. Thought I'd
give you a heads up.
Love,
Mom

Warren reread the note. He scowled at his mom for treating him like a child. He was seventeen, not seven. He crumpled the note and let flames cover it. Then the strangest thought came to him, 'Maybe I shouldn't of showed mom that note.' He reached in his pocket and pulled out a note. It had been written very sloppy, but read:

Warren,
I can't tell you how much I love you. You
know me, like I told you I never get caught. I
will come back for you. I know I can't force you to
become a villain, but I know you'll turn. When
that day comes I know you'll be one damn
good villain. Your mother will try and stop me but,
she can't. I know your mother is over protective
when it comes to you but I know she will not
kill me. Otherwise, she would of done so
years ago. She'll do anything to keep you safe,
so I'm going to an old frien. Can't say where,
but I'll be back soon.
Love,
Dad

He smiled again. Even thought he hated his father, Baron was the only one who was treating him like an adult. Well mostly, except for the fact the he forced him to go with him. His dad wanted nothing more that for him to be a villain. But Warren knew how that game worked. It wouldn't happen to Warren like it happened to him.

Ding-Dong

That snapped Warren out of his thoughts and back to reality. He pocketed the note safely in his jeans pocket. Quickly he ran to answer the door, before it was knocked down again. He opened the door to see Jetstream standing there.

"Is anyone in there with you?" She asked in a somewhat stern voice.

"Oh, yeah, Mary Poppins dropped by this morning for a good cup of tea. She and I were just having our chat over the morning tea, would you like some?" Warren replied sarcastically.

"Warren!" Jetstream half laughed. She pushed past him and did a quick sweep of the whole house. As usaual she found nothing so, the left for Sky High.

Once Warren's feet touched the ground he left Jetstream. His day went by slowly and just when he was about to leave and meet Jetstream a hand came on his shoulder.

"Mr. Peace," said the stern voice of Principal Powers, "I need a word with you." She led him down the hallway and into her office. There they sat down. "Now, I know that you hate to talk about your father. But your mother said that your father is planning on comming back for you. Now, we all know that we can't watch you 24/7. But, we can try. You see Warren, we can force protection on you till you graduate. I doubt you'll want it then."

"I don't even want it now," he mumbled.

"I know you hate being treated like a child, but you need protection. Listen, we have been running through plans to make you comfortable. We have come up with a plan that will allow you to go where you wish without superhero supervision. All that we require of you is that you where a tracer. We have designed this watch so you can where it. It will allow us to know where you are at all times."

"What?" he yelled, anger rising. "How dare you people invade my privacy. I, Warren Peace, do sneak ou. Where I go is my business and mine alone." Flames were now flickering on his arms.

"Now, Warren, we are just worried," Powers said in a calm tone.

"I'm a big boy, Principal Powers. If I want to fight my dad when he comes then I will. On the off chance that all hope is lost and I have to become and villain to save everyone's lives, then and only then would I join my father. He knows it. But right now, you guys want to protect me by making me betray my father. I can protect myself."

"Are you done?" Warren nodded. "Good, because whether you like it or not you need protection. If you think we're invading you privacy, then think about this. Your father most likely has a tracer on you." Warren looked down. He know his father would do something like that.

"Fine," he mumbled. Principal Powers put a watch with flames on it, on Warren's wrist.

"If your father comes near your we'll know. That watch can do anything a normal watch can do, by the way."


Warren had been laying in bed for a while. He finally got up and went out the window. He started walking on a path through the woods in his back yard. He walked for nearly an hour when he to to a small pond. He sat down on a rock and sighed.

"I wonder what dad's doing right now," he said to no one. To his surprise someone answered.

"He's right here waiting for you."
