Teenage Heroes

Chapter 1:

We never said this was easy

Disclaimer

Hello all, once again its SilverIceNight here. My VHD story went bust, but here is another for your enjoyment. This is based off my annoyance that there are no real Canadian Superheroes to be found in any of the comics you see. Besides that, my friend and I like to play hero. These people are all real, they have lives, they are my friends. Everything is based off real stuff, besides that, I'm just insane so it works. This is a combination of my mind, my friend's mind, a few too many times spent listening to friends ramble about powers, boredom and unreal hope. So, enjoy and know that somewhere out there, these people exist, these powers are recognized in and real names are not used. Things will change as people yell at me for having this name put here and there and so expect changes. The people are not owned by me. Only Kalypso. So, now, SilverIceNight Insanity comics, presents, Teenage Heroes.

"Hey, you!" came a voice, The girl groaned.

"What?"

"Hi." came the reply. A groan greeted it. "What's with you?" Silence. "He'll come around, just relax around it."

"No he won't, he hates me if you haven't noticed. Besides, why would he want me? He's got Joy. He doesn't need me for anything." Kalypso looked up at her partner in crime. Eden was tall, obnoxious and … tall. Her friend wasn't that giant, she was just taller then Kalypso, but that wasn't hard to be. Eden wore blue jeans that she had been complaining about all weekend, black and pink sneakers that had apparently " been threw the mill" and a green butterfly shirt. Her earlobe length hair was dirty blonde and her freckly face sported skim blue eyes and glasses. Her grin was infectious but the smile dropped as she saw Kalypso was not in a great mood.

"What's wrong?" Kalypso didn't answer. Kalypso, or Kal as she sometimes liked to be called, wore a black t-shirt with a black vest that covered her shoulders,
blue jeans, a small belt purse, and black steal toed boots. She was famous for her short temper and her angry temperament, as well as the fact that she didn't hesitate to kick people who annoyed her. Her long dark hair was tied behind her head in a ponytail and her brown eyes scanned the floor. "Kal?'

"Nothing, its nothing." she said quietly. Eden shook her head.

"You need to let it go you know. You wont live without giving him up. If he hates you, then he hates you, quit dwelling on it." Kalypso looked up with the faint misty eyes that foreshadowed tears.

"You aren't helping Eden." she said under her breath. Eden nodded. She could see her friend was still torn up about what had happened the previous day. It included a heavy calculator, a confined space and 2 people who Kalypso thought she didn't hurt. It didn't end well. In fact, if anything was true, that was the one thing that ended very very badly. Closing her eyes, Kalypso fought to keep tears back. "Least you still have Kriss." she said softly, attempting to lighten the mood.

"Pheh." spat Eden. "I don't have him. Shania has him."

"You have him as a friend, least he will still talk to you." she said quietly. "I'm sorry, I have to go." said Kal quietly. She slipped on headphones and walked down the hall. Eden shook her head slowly, and went to find the rest of her friends.

Stamping off the cold, the tall brunette walked up the stairs across the hall. He wore a brown leather jacket and black headphones, his dark eyes looked over the heads of most of his schoolmates with a thoughtful look. His dark jeans had frozen to his black shoes. Snow still poured down outside, it wasn't incredibly cold, just miserable. His hands in his pockets felt the heat on the right and he flexed them in an attempt to get the circulation back in them. Walking down the interception hallway between English and Math hallways, he aimed for his locker among the swarms of people. Pulling his hands out of the pockets he spun his lock and opened his locker. Something passed behind him and he spun around. It was just another person. Pheonix shuddered at the chill you get when you feel like your being watched and turned back around. His girlfriend came bounding out of the classroom of their mutual Teacher Advisor.

"Joy." he breathed, making sure that there were no teachers around before embracing her. Planting a kiss on her neck he held her for a second longer before he let her go. Gathering his backpack he felt that feeling again and spun around again. He watched the girl who walked past him with narrowed eyes. Kalypso walked past without acknowledging him or even looking up. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was up. He watched the ground behind her as her shadow did something odd. It looked like it was crying. Shadow tears fell behind her as she left the hallway and moved around the corner. Letting go of Joy, he moved to one of the tears left behind and felt it. It covered his fingers in a dark liquid. He wiped it off on his pants and his fingers were clean. Shaking his head, he returned to the open locker and his girlfriend. Her blonde highlighted hair fell over her shoulders as green eyes watched his from behind glass frames.

"What was that about?" she asked. He shook his head, gathering his backpack and closing his locker he looked at her.

"Nothing. Just a trick of the light." he looked at his fingers that had touched the black liquid on the floor. They were still cold from the tears. I think.

Eden checked her watch. 5 minuets till she had to go to make it to TA. She looked down math hallway. No Kal,

"Eden!" came a voice behind her. Eden jumped and spun around. A shorter guy stood there. He had black wavy hair, an almost Asian face, light brown eyes that seamed to look threw you and wore a black shoes, black pants ensemble and a black and white shirt that stated "Damn right I'm good in bed. I can sleep for days." His blue shoulder bag over his shoulder, he looked at her. "What module do we have for gym today?" he asked. This was the infamous Kriss. Resident magician and hockey player, he had many friends in most classes and knew both Kalypso and Eden herself. The object of Eden's affections, she had hidden them from view when he had walked in at the last weeks dance with a girl on his arm. He still wondered what her position on it was, but he hadn't asked.

"Uhh, yeah, I think we have floor hockey, no wait. Yeah Floor hockey." she said after a thought. They had gym together, what sometimes seamed to be the most interesting part of the day. You really never knew what could happen in gym. Especially with Eden."Hey, have you seen Kal lately?" asked Eden as an afterthought. Kriss looked at her.

"Kalypso? I think she's circling around downstairs, I saw her pass my locker earlier today. Past that, I haven't seen her."

"K thanks Kriss. I'll talk to you later." finished Eden as she walked away from him and shook her head as she walked. "Emo idiot." she said as the bell rang for TA.

Walking right past the library, she turned down the courtyard shortcut between the Cosmetology hallway and the Religion hallway, she looked down at the floor. A tap on the shoulder brought her back to society.

"Uhh, Kal? I'd like my arm back if you could."

"Huh? Oh, right." said Kalypso removing her headphones and letting go of the wrist she held. Xander, her former boyfriend looked at her as she looked at the floor. Tall, thin and fairly strong, he wore black pants, a black t shirt with a silver motorcycle on it, a cellphone on his belt. His short blonde hair was naturally spiked, his hazel eyes looked over her with concern, and he pushed up his glasses on his nose.

"You alright?" he asked. She raised an eyebrow.

"Sure. Why not." lowering the brow, she turned. "Try to get yourself to science class on time today will you?" she asked in a tired monotone.

"Speak for yourself!" he yelled after her. A short backwards wave was his only answer. Shaking his head he walked off to TA, starting to get the faintest bit concerned about the one who had always told him not to worry about her.

Figuring out that the teacher wasn't there that math class was easy. Unfortunately the sub was a math sub. She knew what she was doing, But she didn't check the seating plan for people, so when Laura plopped herself down in the normally empty seat in front of Kalypso, the sub didn't notice.

"Hey Laura." said Kal. "guess today is not a good day for my colour sense then eh?" she asked. Laura nodded.

"We need to get you in some colour Kal, you cant just keep going around in black for the rest of your life." said one of the fashion queens that made Kal's life so interesting. She rolled her eyes.

"Give me a few more days to be emo while I think will you? I think that we might be able to go shopping in a few weeks and as long as the mood strikes me, I'll be in colour."

"My opinions are fairly harsh just so you know. Before we go, I just want you too know that. Because you want my opinions." said the blonde haired Laura. Kal smiled faintly, the first in a day.

"I understand." she said quietly. A faint rumble shook her desk, Kal looked at it puzzled. "Laura, did you just feel that?"

"What?" a louder rumble shook the desk with more ferocity. Laura looked at her desk and Kal's.

"That." The normally loud class fell silent. The rumbling started again, and stopped. Kal stood, listening as every single voice that normally would have been talking in all the other rooms fell quiet.

"Kal?" asked Laura. Scouring the walls, Kal closed her eyes.

"Guys?" she said loudly. "Get under your desks, now. Protect your heads."

"What do you know?" asked the Sub. Without opening her eyes, Kal kept silent.

"Ma'am?" she said quietly. "You need to move out of that place."

"Why?" Suddenly the rumbling started again, louder and stronger then before. Seeing the overhead screen over the head of the sub fall, she leapt at the wall, ricocheting off it and caught it before it hit the teacher. The rumbling stopped for the moment and Kalypso set the screen down.

"That's why. Please find a safe place under something and stay in it." Several pairs of eyes stared at her and the ones that hadn't already done so had gotten under their desks. Surprised at the thing she had just done, Kal stood at her desk again. She would have gone over how she could never done that in her life, she left the idea be for a time. Eyes closed she looked in direction of the door. The rumbling started again, really now like an earthquake, stumbling around her desk, Kal regained enough of her footing and tried to vault over the other desk. It moved so much that she lost her hand work and almost fell over. Getting over the desk she ran for the door.

"KAL!" came the voice behind her. She ignored it and ran for the stairs. Knowing the way something liked this worked, they would be in the most easily accessible place in the joint. The front of the school. She had no idea what she was doing, she just knew that something was wrong and most probably, she was the only one who knew that the thing here wasn't natural for this. Something evil was here.

She wasn't sure if she could trust herself for this. She had an incredible feeling that something evil was here. She was an Empath. Normally all that that entailed was the fact that she could sense the energy waves around her fellow humans and could tell what they felt at some points. She could sense the dead, and could feel when someone was watching her or was right behind her. Also depending on an emotion, she would react to it. But this made her want to run in the opposite direction. The energy was powerful and dangerous. It hurt to go near it. Making it down the stairs with no major mishaps, she ran for the front door. Still trying to regain decent footing on the rumbling ground she slid to the wall. A janitor's cart slid beside her. Reaching over she grabbed a metal mop handle. Partly using it as a standing device, she regained footing enough to stand and run again and ran threw the doors.

Ice towered over the school. It was like watching a silhouette of blue and white tower over the school It was tall and sharp. It had a bone linked tail that swung into the ground. On the head of the tail was a barb that was green rather then icy blue. The thing sat on all fours and looked at her. Its eyes were blue, brilliant deep blue. Its catlike pupils made her cringe in fear. It had icy barbs all over it, spindly limbs and otherwise very thick ice armour.

Feeling something or someone come behind her, she flipped backwards. It was Eden in her normal clothes.

"Eden what the hell are you doing out here?" yelled Kalypso as she tried to figure out how the heck she had done that. "How did I do that?"

"Photokinesis!" yelled Eden.

"English please." said Kalypso looking at the thing.

"Ability to mimic any athletic or movement you've ever seen." said Eden.

"Oh. So, what should we be doing about this?" asked Kal.

"FIRE CARD MULITPY!" came another voice. Hundreds of flaming cards sped at the thing. Exploding into giant fireballs on contact with the thing, Eden and Kalypso spun around to see Kriss grinning at them.

"Never a party without me." he said holding a card in his hand. "Watch out!" he yelled. Eden and Kalypso spun around. Before Kal could move, Eden had flung out her hands and the ice tail hit a shield that fizzed with electricity. Kal put her arms down.

"Whoa?" asked Kal.

"Hey? What's going on?" yelled Eden. A head poked its way around the shield.

"Shut up and keep pumping the electricity, I almost have enough energy to blast this thing to where it came from."

"Micah?" asked Eden as Kal looked at the snow under her feet. This was the guy who she had smacked with a calculator the other day. She still felt incredibly guilty about it.

"Hey, cool! The Masume!" came another voice. Kal's head perked up.

"Yeah, I know eh?" said another.

"Xander? Pheonix?" asked Kal, she ran around the shield. Xander held a 6 foot long sword and a bow over his back with a quiver of arrows on his hip, and Pheonix stood there with a black sword in his hand and white wings on his back. "Holy fuck." she said, "You have wings," she said softly to Pheonix. He shrugged. She looked at Xander, "Since when do you bring the Masume to school?" she asked.

" I… don't?" he answered. "You know I don't have the Mausme as my own." he said.

"Then how'd you get it?" she demanded. "And the archery stuff?"

"Thought about it and wished for it?" he answered.

"Alright fine. Fire Boy, can you give me a blade for this thing?" she demanded of Kriss.

"Not Fire Boy, Magic Boy." he smirked. Its looks like he could pull real magic now, not just the magician anymore.

"Whatever, can someone make me a blade for this thing?" she asked. He, Pheonix and Eden held up hands, and obliged. A golden streak of electricity sped at the end of the handle, Darkness intercepted it and melded with it. Fire, sped to the other streaks and formed the foot and a half blade off the end of the metal staff. "Sweet" said Kalypso. Looking at it. A loud noise made her look up at the creature. It looked at them with the tail swinging behind it. It growled as it watched them. Dragging a finger over the flat of the blade, she pulled her hand away from it. It was hot, and shocking and had hints of power of darkness in it. Eyeing the giant ice creature in front of them, Kalypso stepped forward.

"Alright, if your coming, lets go, if not. Stay back so you don't get hurt." she said with a side look at them. Leaping forward into a run she attacked, only followed but half a second later by the rest of them. To fail miserably.

Attacking the legs was one thing, but only if you knew that the other legs and the tail were just as dangerous and you needed to avoid them. Having wings was a great attribute when attacking from the top, if you could remember that when blinding the beast, to not blind your team mates. Attempting to zap the ice monsters tail is all well and fine, if you don't end up hitting the metal blade of your friend's weapon.

Pulling back, (and Kalypso out of a snow bank) they looked at each other.

"We need a plan." said Xander.

"Duh," echoed Micah. Kalypso leaned on her glaive.

"Micah, use some of Eden's excess energy to make heat. Aim it at the thing's head. Kriss, hit it with fire, anything you can think of. Eden, see if you can do electricity bolts and fire at anywhere you can hit. Xander, work with these three. Tip your arrows with electricity, fire, anything else Kriss can think of, and fire at anything you can hit. Save the Masume for later. Pheonix, keep it in darkness. I'll try to do some damage anywhere I can." Defiant looks came Kalypso's way, especially from Pheonix and Micah. She sighed" We don't have all day people, besides there's a 1000 lives on our shoulders and I'm not going to be responsible for anyone else hurt." she looked directly at Micah and Pheonix when she said this. Turning, she sped off to attack the thing again.

"That girl, is going to get herself killed soon." commented Kriss.

"Not on my watch." said Eden, pulling Micah and Kriss forward. Pheonix took off to the ice thing without a word, as Xander pulled off his bow and fit an arrow to the sting.

"Tip it please someone." he said calmly. Kriss tipped it with fire as it was shot. Eden conjured an electricity ball for Micah to feed off of as he conjured it to heat, and Kriss stood there tipping arrows for Xander and throwing flaming cards at the ice monster.

Flipping over the monster's tail, Kal continued to swipe at the back of the thing. Moving up the back, she whipped the blade at the nape of the neck of the thing. Getting an idea, she jumped into the darkness that surrounded the head of the thing and lodged the glaive into the thing's skull. Flipping out to the back of it, she looked for Pheonix.

"Clear away the darkness!" she yelled at him and signalled at it for Eden. She nodded and Kal looked up at Pheonix as he pulled the darkness back into himself. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the tail come whipping up at him and didn't think, but leapt for him. Pushing him back and away from the poison barb, mace like tail, she was hit herself. The tail broke off as Eden's electricity bolt hit the staff standing in the skull. Millions of sharp tiny shards exploded into the air. Some were red as they landed in the snow, others were chunks that were red before they hit the school, the windows and the trees. The crew who were behind with Eden were protected by the shield she put up for them. Pheonix was hit, but not that badly. It was only ice, it would melt as soon as he warmed up again. He scoured for the girl under himself. Nothing. Blood specks, but other then that. He flew to the pile of ice that had been the things tail. The pile was large and wide. Eden, Kriss, Micah, and Xander were congratulating themselves on a job well done.

"Nice work guys." said Kriss.

"Yeah Eden, didn't know that we could actually work together without killing each other." laughed Micah.

"Oh shut up Micah." said Eden, grinning. Xander rolled his eyes, gave Kriss a high five and received one from Eden. Micah was watching Pheonix.

"Watcha think he's doing?" he asked indicating his tall friend. Kriss looked up.

"Looks like he's… digging?" He looked at Eden. She shrugged. Xander stared hard at the ground around Pheonix.

"He's bleeding, bad. There's red all over the place around him." Eden looked around.

"Where's Kal?" she asked. They traded looks, and took off at a run.

"Pheonix, where's Kal?" yelled Eden. She realized Xander was right. Pheonix was hurt and bleeding. Blood trickled off his dark sweater with the white stripe over his shoulders, he was soaked in his own blood.

"I don't know, but she saved me and I wont let her die!" he said without looking at her. Her face turned white as she helped him push the ice away to see if Kal was under there. Xander and Kriss helped. Micah stood in front of it.

"Move, I can melt it!" he yelled as they moved away from the pile. His hands out, it became ridiculously hot and the ice melted in a stream of water. Blood intermingled with the water as the ice revealed Kalypso. There was a gaping amount of blood on her clothes and he face was severally white. She didn't move when Eden rushed to her.

"Kal you Dumbass, wake up!" she yelled at her. Pheonix picked her up, his dark eyes holding a look that was indescribable. Kriss stood with his eyes closed. Micah looked at his hands.

"I think I can do it. I think I can bring her back if she's fallen under. But Eden, I need your electricity." Eden put out a hand without question, her eyes brimming with tears. The golden ball returned and Micah absorbed it and put a hand to Kalypso's cold head. Less then 5 seconds later, you could hear her breathing. Kriss moved forward.

"My turn to try to get that stuff out of her." he held her hand and concentrated. Kal moaned in pain, her hands clenched as Kriss fell back into Xander's arms. "Its gone, let me sleep." he said drowsily, falling asleep while still half standing. Xander sighed and looked at Micah.

"What's your name?" he asked. Micah shrugged and answered. "Give me a hand with him will you?" Slinging an arm around their necks, Micah and Xander kept Kriss upright. Eden helped Pheonix transfer Kalypso to his now wingless back. She was still bleeding from wounds on her back, face and limbs, but at least she was breathing. She was still unconscious.

"Do you think we'll need the hospital for her?" Xander asked, nodding at Kal.

"She hates hospitals. Lets see what we can do for now. Come on." said Eden, nodding at the school.
