Chapter 00: Truth or Consequence.
Peace House
Kaia Peace smirked to herself as she looked around her mothers house, she didn't know that she was back in town and wanting to make up for all the trouble that she had caused. Her twin-brother Warren had an idea she was back but didn't know if that was true. Warren attends 'Sky High' the school for heroes and their hero-support to learn together. It is also the school that Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream (Josie DeMarco and Steve Stronghold), attends.
Sky High
"So Warren, why are you so uptight?" Layla Williams asked, looked at the boy who sat directly across from her in the cafeteria.
"I'm not uptight," Warren growled at her, before standing up an walking away, leaving his lunch tray at the table.
"What's gotten into him?" Will asked, as he slid into the seat beside Layla and wrapped his arm around her.
"I don't know," Layla answered almost bitterly as she took a bite from her apple.
"Hey Layla, hey Will," Ethan said cheerfully as he, Magenta and Zach arrived at the table and sat down.
"Hey guys, and Magenta," Layla smiled, Will nodded at them as he had just taken a rather large bite of his sandwich.
"Where'd Warren go in such a hurry?" Zach asked curiously taking a gulp of his orange juice.
Meanwhile, Warren had gone outside and was now sitting on the steps reading a letter that he'd received three days earlier. Warren read over the letter before he realised that what it was saying was that his sister was back in town. Or at least she would be if she decided to come back.
Peace House
Kaia sat down in the middle of the room and waited, she knew that her mother would be home from work soon and that her brother would be home from school. How did she know this? Kaia had the powers of telempathy, telekinesis and pyrokinesis. Her mother was a telempath, which was how she got her power, Baron Battle was pyrokinetic which explained how he and Warren obtained it.
"Mom," Kaia smiled as soon as the door was open only a fraction.
"Kaia, dear what are you doing here?" Ms Peace asked, then sighed as she read the girls mind. "Never mind, I know not to ask such questions,"
"Mom, War knows I was thinking about coming back," Kaia told her mother, who simply nodded. "But of course you already knew that,"
"I'll enrol you at Sky High first thing in the morning," her mother sighed as the 'Sky High' bus pulled up in the street outside and let off Warren before driving off again.
"Thanks mom, I'll be on my best behaviour," Kaia answered right as Warren walked in the door to the house and stopped. "Hi War," she smiled innocently as she created a small fiery bird and sent it over to him.
"Kai," Warren grinned, for the first time in a long time. "I thought you were still at Henderson High,"
"Was, and no I didn't get expelled," Kaia answered smirking at her brother.
"Kaia Marie Peace, you will not get yourself into trouble when you start at Sky High," their mother said, as Warren and Kaia walked out of the room and into Warrens room.
"War, you really need to learn more control of your powers," Kaia told him as she had the fiery bird she created earlier fly back to her hand and dissipate.
Kaia and Warren sat talking in Warren's room while she played innocently with a small ball of fire. Before throwing it to him and scaring him before he absorbed it.
"That's the brother I know," she smiled as a small bright orange piece of hair found itself falling out of her messily done bun. Like her brother she had black hair with natural streaks that had been there for as long as she could remember.
"That's a new one," Warren grinned, spying the orange hair that was now freely dangling in front of her face just as one of his one red streaks fell out. "I got a job while you were gone,"
"Really now, where?" Kaia asked, as Warren's phone rang he ignored it instead choosing to talk to her.
"The Paper Lantern," Warren answered as his phone rang yet again. "I better answer it this time," he grumbled not really wanting to.
Stronghold house.
Will, Layla, Ethan, Zach and Magenta were waiting for Warren to arrive so that they could start their study group. Though it really didn't matter if he was there or not they just wanted him to be there. Josie Stronghold was in the kitchen making them snacks and also waiting for the older boy to arrive.
"Peace, where are you?" Will questioned, as Layla looked curiously at her boyfriend and a small flower blossomed from the pot plant before them.
'Went home, had to talk to my mom,' Warren answered, lying to his now best friend as he looked at his sister who had raised her eyebrow at him.
"Well, hurry up cause my mom's making snacks and wants to know if you'll be here," Will said hurriedly, as he looked around the room and saw his father standing in the doorway.
'Stronghold, I said I'd be there and I will,' Warren growled into the phone before taking a deep breath. 'Just warning you now, I won't be alone,' he added not sure how to tell them his sister would be joining them.
With that both Warren and Will hung up their respective phones. Will sighed and looked to Layla who smiled at him. Magenta, Zach and Ethan peered curiously at him wondering when Warren would arrive.
"Where is he?" Magenta asked finally speaking for all of them.
"He said he was at his house," Will told them as he picked up his book and started reading it again.
"Well is he coming?" Layla asked cheerfully, hoping that the older boy would turn up.
"Yeah,"
Peace house.
Warren got off the phone with Will and then looked at Kaia who nodded knowing what he was going to tell her. He sighed standing up and then pulling her up with him and grabbing his bag once again.
"Mom, I'm taking Kaia to the Stronghold's," Warren told their mother who was looking at them curiously. "I don't have to work tonight, I do tomorrow though,"
"Okay, but both of you behave," Ms Peace told the pair of them who nodded and then slipped out the door.
"So War, tell me about what you've been up to?" Kaia asked as she followed him in the direction of the Strongholds house.
"School, being a freshman again...uhm," Warren paused as he felt Kaia digging around inside his head. "Hey, no digging, my arch enemy is now my best friend and we saved the school,"
"Sorry, can't help myself," she smirked at him as they continued to walk towards the Stronghold's. "I mean I know about the Commander putting dad in jail but was trying to kill his son necessary?"
"You know you have mom's attitude," Warren commented before he stopped and turned walking up the path that led to the Strongholds.
"I know," Kaia grinned, as Warren knocked on the door and waited for it to be answered.
Stronghold house.
Layla and Magenta had moved over to the window and were peering outside to see who Warren was walking up the path with. Both looked at one another trying to work out who she was. Zach and Ethan soon joined them as Will got up and went to answer the door.
"Hey Peace, who's that?" Will asked, raising his eyebrow completely clueless at the girl who was nearly the same height as Warren.
"Stronghold, this is my sister," Warren answered smirking at the shorter boy as his sister probed Will's mind. "Kaia get out of his mind," he added knowing what she was up to.
"I'm not in his mind," Kaia said indignantly as she grinned at him. "Hi I'm Kaia,"
"What are you?" Will asked, as he stepped backwards and invited the both of them inside. "Mom, Warren's here and he bought uh, his sister?"
Josie walked from the kitchen and stood in the doorway eyeing Warren and Kaia. Kaia simply smiled at her before she spoke, knowing what Josie would ask and then what Steve would ask later.
"I'm Kaia Peace. Warren's twin sister, older by a few minutes," she paused before she continues and a small strand of her black hair fell in her face. "I've got telekinesis, pyrokinesis and telempathy,"
"Nice to meet you Kaia," Josie smiled before walking back to the kitchen to finish preparing the snacks.
"Wow, I'm surprised that my mom didn't grill you, like we're going to..."
Will, Layla, Magenta, Zach and Ethan questioned both Warren and Kaia well into the night. Even with Kaia trying to evade all questions but failing as Warren told her to stay out of his friend's minds.
