" Mama look at what I can do! " A young boy, no older than five said to a tall, beautiful woman who nodded, the boy's purple eyes sparkled happily as he made a small ball of ice that reflected light like a diamond as he danced around the clearing and smiled graced his youthful face. The woman clapped for the young child before another boy who looked about eleven walked up to the boy and placed a hand on his head.
" Good job Sage, " the older boy said as he smiled down at the child. The mother smiled happily as she looked at her two sons with admiration. The older boy crouched to the younger boys level.
" Let me show you my own trick," The boy said causing his little brother to nod excitedly. The older of the two brothers raised his hands and snow began falling from the sky onto the younger's hair who giggled in excitedly and reached out for the snow-flacks. The mother walked up to the two children and crouched as she smiled at the boys.
" I have a gift for you two. " The woman said before she produced two pendants that seemed to be made out of diamond and gave one to each boy. The boys hugged their mother who hugged back. The happy moment was ruined by a loud explosion and cry of pain as a young man was thrown into the clearing. The man landed in front the family and the mother was instantly by his side when she recognized him.
" Brother what happened, " The mother asked, clearly alarmed, before she saw a large cut on the man's chest. The man glanced at the boys who were now at his side with a sadly before he turned to his sister.
" It's 'him' " The man said before a large man burst into the clearing. The woman stood up and glared at new-comer with fury as the boys looked scared. The man opened his mouth ...
Sage POV
*Beep, Beep* the shrill noise of the alarm clock sounded as my purple eyes snapped open while the poor alarm clock at my bedside was instantly encased in ice that was hued violet. I sat up in bed and groaned in pain as my sore muscles screamed bloody murder at me. I had been training last night and I might have gone a little over bored.
" I need to stop training so hard " I muttered as I rubbed the crust that gathers in corner of my eyes before I looked at the frozen clock. It wasn't as clear as the ice that I normally made so I couldn't see the time.
" That is the sixth one this week, I'm running out of money to buy more," I muttered as I dragged my hand through my waist-length light brown hair. I got off of my bed slowly before I walked out of my room. I walked down the hall at a sluggish pace and into the bathroom before I pulled off my clothes and got into the shower. I heard the door open and looked at the tall and slender seemingly young man that walked in. It was Luke my adopted father, I muttered a good morning before I closed my eyes without waiting for a response. I noted the quick reply and then sound of the water beginning to run by the sink before it stopped and the door opened then closed to which I assumed Luke left. A few minutes after he left I got out of the shower and wrapped before
As finished brushing my teeth I heard a loud noise downstairs and then fire alarm. I shook my head before I went to my room to put on clothes. After I put on a simple purple jacket and skinny jeans with sneaker I left the room and walked downstairs for food while shaking my head knowing that my older brother Terrence was probably attempting to cook and failing horribly like always. It was like this every morning since we moved to Gotham.
I'm Sage Schnee, a normal 15-year-old boy and currently a sophomore attending Gotham High School by day and a super-powered thief by night. I moved to Gotham from Philadelphia when I was six with my older brother and Luke when our mother and uncle died, I actually don't remember much of that except for watching the two of them burn and the look the killer gave me and my brother before he left. We were found and adopted Luke after he promised to train us to kill the man who killed my mother and uncle in exchange for us to gather the funds for training equipment so Terrence and I began stealing. Luke himself had been a victim, his husband and his adopted son were killed by the same man who killed my mother and uncle.
When I arrived downstairs I was greeted by the site of Terrence placing burnt food on the table and Luke eating it like it was perfectly normal2. How he can eat burnt food like that I will never know
" Sage come eat. " Terrence said as a grin graced his face. Terrence is a college student and a part-time work at the local cafe. I looked at Terrence with a blank expression that I hope said I don't wish to die today before I began making a cheese sandwich. After I made it I sat at the table next to Terrence and began eating at a leisurely. Terrence looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
" Don't you have school. " He asked to which and I glanced at the clock before I nearly choked on my sandwich when I saw it was 7:45. Terrence reached behind me and patted my back.
" Crap! " I said before I began scarfing down my food then dashing up the stairs to get my bookbag. With the speed of a titan, I grabbed my bag, ran down the stairs and out the door after yelling goodbye to my family. I was never so glad l lived a few blocks away from the school. I ran down the halls to my first class and burst through the classroom door only to crash into someone right as the bell rang.
I screwed my eyes shut and waited for the impact that never came. I squirmed a little on the hard and muscular chest I was laying on and slowly opened my eyes only to looked up into angry and confused dark eyes. I instantly began glaring as I got out of my daze and recognized the boy, Damian Wayne, who was glaring right back. I was instantly on my feet and began walking to my desk before I was stopped by a large, rough hand grabbing my upper arm. I turned and glared over my shoulder at Damian. Me and this guy never got along ever since he first entered this school.
" I'm waiting, " Damian said with a sneer on his attractive face as he tightens his grip on my arm. I began clutching my fists as other people in the class began chanting for a fight.
" For what a kick in the balls, let me go or else. " I said as a sneer of my own etched itself onto my face. I admit this guy was cute but his attitude overruled his handsome features.
" I'm waiting for a sorry from you. " He said as he loomed over me which I'm sure would scare normal people but I knew I could turn him into a popsicle. I was about to make a snarky remark that would surely have started a fight before the teacher walked into the classroom and looked at us uninterestedly.
" Break it up you two," The teacher said in a monotone as he sat at his desk. I shoot one last glare at Damian before I writhed my arm away from him and sat at my seat. Damian did the same and the teacher began speaking.
~~~~1:00 AM, Monday Night ~~~~
I stood on the roof of a building overlooking Gotham as I waited for Terrence. We were going to rob a bank and hopefully lure out Batman and Robin, those two have been making their robberies difficult and I didn't like that. I yawned and folded my arms and a few minutes later Terrence appeared.
" Are we ready to go? " I asked with a raised eyebrow to which Terrence nodded and we set off. We jumped from building to building while making sure no one saw us. We landed in front the bank door and I placed my hand on it before it began to freeze. After it was completely frozen I smirked and pulled my hand away before snapping my fingers. The door instantly broke into sparkling dust and the silent alarm tripped. We went into and I did the same thing I did to the door to the vault and collected the money. We ran into an alley only to be stopped, my Batman and Robin. My brother and I gained twin Cheshire cat-like grins as I cocked my hips and waved.
" Hi boys, we were waiting for you. " I said only for the duo to charge at us which caused us to smirk and gesture for them to bring it.
