Julian and Julienne were psyched for their first day at Sky High. They were twins of the age 14. They both had light brown hair and blue eyes.
"You're so lucky you can use your power anytime, anywhere!" whined Julian. "AND you have a good power. Mine's useless."
"You're right, for once in your life," gloated Julienne. "And I get to escape embarrassment, while your power causes it."
The bus pulled up, and they got in, saving a seat for their friend, Darius, who would be joining them shortly.
Darius waited for the bus at a big, muffin-colored stop sign. He had gotten bored and tired, so could you really blame him for this?
He was alone. Nobody wanted to be near him, for fear of his superpower, or as he thought of it, curse.
When the bus finally pulled up, Darius was careful not to touch anything, or more importantly, anyone. He sat by Julian and Julienne, the two people who didn't mind him. They were always there for him. They always brought an extra set of clothes, for when crows attacked, and always gave him their pencils when he touched the lead (Graphite nowadays, but who cares?) of his. Carefully not touching them or their backpacks, he squeezed in.
"No food on the bus!" warned the driver, glaring at Darius.
"It's my superpower- I can't help it!" said Darius, motioning towards his clothes.
"Fine. But if I catch you eating it, you're booted off the bus."
The freshmen piled into the gym for power placement.
Assorted kids went up in alphabetical order. Finally, Coach Boomer announced, "JULIAN PARIS!"
Julian walked up and pretended to concentrate, putting his fingers to his temples and squeezing his eyes closed, but in reality, it took only the energy to poke a pillow.
Julian opened his eyes and dropped his hands, and a roar of laughter erupted from the freshmen.
"So where's your power? Got one?" asked Coach Boomer, oblivious.
"I already did it. Look down," suggested Julian. Coach Boomer looked down and blushed, for he was now wearing a Speedo, thanks to Julian (A/N: I apologize much for this horrifying mental image).
"Reverse this or detention!" yelled the coach.
"Sorry, but my powers only work one way."
"SIDEKICK!" yelled Boomer.
There was a break in power placement while Coach Boomer left and changed back into normal clothes.
When he came back, he called up Julienne.
She calmly walked up, and disappeared. She returned with Beast Boy, from the DC comics world.
"My power is media teleportation," explained Julienne. "So I could pop away from any battle and bring backup with me when I return, a split second later, even if I was gone a year. Or I could use my power to pop in anywhere in any world."
"Can I go back now?" asked Beast Boy.
"Why?"
"I sort of want to return to fighting Deathstroke."
"Okay!" said Julienne, returning the green transformer back to his fight., then popping back into her own world.
"Your power doesn't directly help in a fight, so I guess…SIDEKICK!
"DARIUS PUMPERNICKEL!"
Darius walked up. "I believe my power is visible from my attire, but I'll show you now what it is." He bent over, and touched a plank of wood, instantly turning it into a rectangular cranberry muffin. He touched 2 more, turning them into chocolate chip and blueberry muffins.
"Muffin touch?" asked Coach Boomer. "Never had any of those. But I also never had a Speedo-creator. If you found a way to touch a villain's bare skin, by a punch or a block, maybe, then would they be turned to muffin?"
"Yes, sir."
"HERO!" yelled Boomer.
Power Placement took the rest of the morning, so right afterwards, the freshmen headed to lunch.
"Eew, what's this?" asked Julienne, pointing to a suspicious brown-gray liquid that came with the school lunch.
"Let me help," said Darius, sticking his finger in it, making it raw muffin batter.
"You could be the end of world hunger, if you wanted to. Touch a tin can, bam, it's food for the hungry. Swim around in a Dumpster, and now you've fed a family for a few days." said Julian.
"But then I'd be touching stuff all day. I want a normal life, and settle down, and grow old with a wife, and have kids. But I wouldn't even be able to hold hands with a girl, due to my power."
"Yeah, I guess touching stuff all day WOULD be boring…"
There was a silence, so Julienne decided to pop into a fanfiction, grab Lilah the crazy person, and then bring her back to Sky High.
"Doughnut BLAT!" exclaimed Lilah, throwing a "fried Cyclops" at Julian. Julienne promptly brought Lilah back to her fanfiction.
When Julienne got back, her twin exclaimed, "What was THAT for?" doughnut dripping from his face.
"I thought the silence needed something," explained Julienne casually.
