"You can do this." I whispered to myself as I walked into the school. I scanned the area around me, I had done plenty of research on Normos and their habits so I was fairly confident I could pull of my disguise. I took a deep breath as I arrived at my first class for the day, Biology. According to the books I'd read, it was all to do with living things. Could be quite interesting. I thought to myself.
As I entered the class I immediately picked out the cliques. There was a group of pretty girls at one corner, no doubt the popular girls. Behind them, right at the back, were some guys in sports jackets, laughing with the occasionally glance the girls, no doubt they were jocks.
There were several others that I could see as well, two in particular caught my eye, the one was waving around a comic book in one hand. They appeared to be in a deep discussion on it. I grinned, it would probably be a lot harder to hide who I was if I befriended some nerds who seemed to be experts on all things super, but I just couldn't help herself. I walked up to them, resisting a laugh when I heard what they were discussing.
"No way! The Frostbite could never defeat Snowstorm!" The taller of the two declared. "Snowstorm is stronger and more experienced. Frostbite is just a new rookie."
"Yeah but only one comic has been released!" The other one argued, "She could have other powers! And end up even stronger than Snow!" I smiled at this comment decided that now was a good time as any to introduce myself.
"That's true, she could have other powers as well for all we know." I grinned at their shocked faces. "Hi, I'm Arctica Frost. I just started here." I introduced myself to them.
"Hey, I'm Oliver, and this is Kaz." The shorter, blonde boy greeted.
Arctica? That's a weird name." the one called Kaz laughed
Oliver rolled his eyes. "Yeah, it's really strange hmm, Kaz." He said putting emphasis on his friends name, before turning back to me and smiling. "You read comics?" he added curiously, it wasn't often the duo met a girl who liked comic books.
"Hell yeah!" I smiled and sat down on a desk opposite them. "And from the looks of things, you guys are mega fans."
The spiky haired one, Kaz, grinned and shared a look with Oliver. "You have no idea."
Oliver looked like he was about to say something, but the teacher walked in, silencing their conversation. I hoped off of my desk and sat at the one in front of Oliver. I grinned, looks like I was going to enjoy Normo School.
As the bell rang for the end of school, I waved goodbye to my new normo friends. At lunch Oliver and Kaz had introduced me to three other normos, Jordon, Connie and some really weird guy named Gus. I couldn't help thinking I recognised Connie though… and that Gus guy really reminded me of those pets from Caldera, it was actually really funny.
After I'd rounded the corner I pulled out my phone to check the super hero news, hoping there was something interesting happening today. She spotted several new reports, today appeared to be a pretty busy day for all of the big supers. As she started checking the reports, a new one popped up.
"This just in! The Villain, Echo, has escaped from Mighty Max! He was rumoured to be heading towards his old hideout…
I grinned as the reporter continued with her story, this was perfect! Echo was a pretty pathetic Villain by any standards, he would be perfect for me to showcase my powers, maybe I could even show off one of my other powers… though those could be unpredictable… it was also unlikely for any of the other, bigger supers, like Tecton or the Crusher to go after him, so my chances of being the sole one after him were pretty high.
I quickly ducted away into an empty ally, so she was hidden from sight. I then focused on using my shape shifting ability to alter my appearance into my super hero disguise.
My long, dark curls started to straighten out, lighten and shorten, until it was a smooth silver bob, and my originally sky blue eyes, were now the same silver shade as my hair. I had also shed my jeans, top and hoodie was now wearing my super hero outfit, consisting of skin tight blue and white tights and a matching short sleeved midriff top which showed off the blue snowflake birthmark around my belly button, my super hero signature mark.
I grinned at my new outfit, before quickly shape shifting into a falcon and flying towards Echo's hide out, an old abandoned were house. Incredibly cliché and predictable, it was no wonder he wasn't taken seriously.
It wasn't long before I arrived at the 'hide out,' a couple minutes after Echo. I shifted back to my super hero self, and quietly snuck in, my naturally bellow 0 temperature allowing me to easily slip past the thermal sensors undetected.
After a short time of manoeuvring through the lair, I finally arrived at the central room, where Echo was hunched over a computer, planning his next move.
"Freeze Echo! Playtimes over!" I called to him from the doorway, my hand held out to blast him if he tried to escape.
"Frostbite? Seriously? They sent you to come after me? Oh now I'm just insulted!" the Villain retorted grumpily. "I mean, you're a rookie! Even Skylar Storm would be better and she hasn't even got any powers!"
I rolled my eyes. "Okay, now you're just getting irritating!" I glared at him, preparing to knock him out with an ice beam, when I recalled the conversation this morning with my Normo friends. I suppose I could try one of my other powers, just to prove that I'm not as pathetic as everyone seems to think.
My finger tips started to crackle with electricity, and before I could re-think my plan, I sent an electric shock to Echo, knocking him unconscious.
"Yes! It worked! I mean… Of course it worked!" I grinned, slightly embarrassed as I remembered that everything I said would get published by Ambrose. "Okay… now it's time to return you to Mighty Max, this time for good." I approached the unconscious Villain, ready to take him back to Mighty Max, when a shadow fell over me. before I could turn around to see who else was there, a wave of agony washed over me, spreading from between my shoulder blades. I screamed in pain as everything went black.
Okay so this is a story that's been playing around in my head for a while now, what do you guys think?
Oh and a big shout out to TKDP, an awesome author with tons of talent who helped me come up with some ideas, such as the name Arctica Frost, as well as gave me some great advice! Thanks so much :D
Oh! and if any of you are confused about Arctica/Frostbites powers, they'll be explained more in chapter two!
