This is my new story about Sky High! I watched this movie a lot in the last view days and I really like it. I think it's hilarious but cute at the same time and I really enjoyed watching it. I also "fell in love" with Warren Peace aka Steven Strait. Well, I already liked Steven Strait before but now I like him even more! Anyways, here comes the first chapter! Hope you like it.

Serena's POV

She, Serena Powers, sat on her king sized bed and tried to concentrate on using her force field to lift, or rather push, things up in the air. She was trying for quite a long time now, in fact for almost four hours, but didn't really succeed, yet. All she managed to do by now was destroying half of her room. The floor was covered with broken pens, CDs and other stuff. Groaning in frustration she lay down and shut her eyes. It was already 2 am and Serena still wasn't able to sleep. She never could when her parents where on a "mission", as they called it. The truth was that they were out there trying to kill as many citizens and super heroes as possible, even though they never managed to kill a hero. But they did kill a lot of citizens, which made them two of the most wanted people in the whole world. Serena would never admit it, but she was scared for her parents to get killed or caught. She knew that they were really good at running away and hiding, that's how they managed to still be alive, but she still was worried. The last time they had been on a "mission" they had tried to kill the Commander and Jetstream and had almost succeeded. They had been able to hurt Jetstream pretty bad. Her leg was still broken and she had lost her ability to fly because of that, which made her useless. The Commander had been torn between following her parents and saving his wife and had chosen the second option, so her parents had been able to get away again.

Except for being good villains, her parents, Carla "Doubledaze" and Damian "Paranoia" Powers, were as useless as Jetstream was now. Her mother couldn't cook and neither could her father, so they always ended up ordering some food and letting Serena make the deliveryman forget about them with hypnosis. That's why no one knew where they lived, even though they lived pretty obvious in the middle of big Miami. But Doubledaze and Paranoia were always very careful not to attract any attention. They never went out and most of the neighbors thought the house they lived in was empty because Serena sometimes made them to do so.

Serena's parents didn't love each other, they were just for the "mission's benefit" and, which Serena was 100% positive about, sex together. They also didn't love her, because she had been an "awful accident, which stole their time", as they liked to say. One single tear escaped her eye. She cried a lot when she was alone in her room but, of course, she would never admit it in front of anyone, especially not in front of her parents. They would probably beat the crap out of her for being so weak. So she always acted like the tough girl who didn't feel anything like love and pain, even though she did.

Serena always had been a troublemaker, which was a pathetic attempt to make her parents love her. They were extremely proud of her for being that troublemaker but they still didn't love her at all. She was in Danger High, the High School for villains and she was very feared there because she was known to lose her temper easily, which always ended in a big fight and praise from her parents and the principal. Due to that she had no friends at all.

Then she heard her parents coming home. They were arguing, as usual.

"It was your fault!", her mother yelled.

No, it wasn't! How could it be my fault that your stupid power failed? You messed it up and because of you they're going to get us!", her father yelled back.

What? Get us? What did he mean by that? Serena got up as fast as she could and ran to the living room. Her parents were standing there and were glaring at each other. When they heard her they turned around to glare at her.

"Why the hell are you still up?", her father roared furiously.

"Couldn't sleep. What do you mean by "get us"?!", she replied anxiously.

"They're coming here. And if we don't hurry, they're going to put us in jail. Get out of my way, your mother and I have to pack some stuff."

"Mom and you? But what about me?", she whispered.

"As if we would take you with us," her mother snorted. "You'll stay here and look after the house."

"What? Stay here? Bu- Wha- Why?"

"Are you really that stupid? Yes, stay here! We're not going to take you with us! You would just slow us down and now go into your room and don't come out until we're gone!"

With that she pushed her daughter out of her way and walked out of the room. Serena was just standing there, too shocked to move. Of course she had always known that her parents didn't care about her, but she had always thought they would take her with them if something happened! Snapping out of her trance, she walked up to her room and closed the door behind her. Leaning against the door, she took a deep breath to steady herself. She didn't want to cry in case her parents came to say goodbye. But of course they didn't. After a while she heard the front door close and ran towards the window to see her parents hurry away. They didn't even look back. Suddenly there were ten other people around them so that Serena couldn't see what happened. They kept walking closer to them, finally catching them , Serena assumed and then they disappeared. She immediately knew they had taken her parents to jail.

She broke down crying and sobbing. Her parents were gone. Her parents were gone and she was alone. All alone. What was she supposed to do now? She couldn't live alone!

Serena must've cried herself to sleep, because suddenly she was woken by two hands shaking her and a voice calling "Hey, girl! Wake up!" Her eyes popped open and she saw a tall man kneeling in front of her.

"Who are you?", she asked with a hoarse voice and sat up.

"Coach Boomer. I'm supposed to take you to your aunt's place," he stated.

"I don't have an aunt. All my relatives died before I was born," Serena said angrily.

"Yeah, right. That's why I'm working for your aunt, right?", he snorted. "Your name's Serena Jane Powers, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is. How do you know that?!" She was confused, why did that stranger know her name?

"Like I said before, I'm working for your aunt, Miranda Powers, principal of Sky High."

"What? Principal of Sky High?", Serena yelled, clearly shocked.

"Get up, we have to go."

"I'm not going anywhere with you. I don't know you! You could be a pedophile or something!"

"Shut it, and come." He was getting angry now.

"No!", Serena opposed.

"GET THE HELL UP AND COME WITH ME!", he roared.

She was intimidated by his loud voice, which explained his name, and wasn't able to move for one second. Then she got up unwillingly, muttered "Fine." and started to pack some clothes into a backpack she had under her bed. This Boomer guy stood at the door and tapped his foot impatiently. After a few minutes Serena was ready to go.

While walking out the house she asked: "So, you're taking me to my aunt, right?"

"Yep," he answered.

"Where does she live?"

"Maxville."

"Where the heck is Maxville?!"

"You never heard of Maxville?"

"No?"

"Did you ever hear of the Commander and Jetstream?"

"Uh. Yeah.... My parents...Um, doesn't matter. Why?"

"I know what your parents did. Everyone does. Whatever, that's where they live."

"No way! I'm not going there!", she yelled furiously. What the hell was he thinking? She couldn't go there!

"Shut up! You are going and you can't do anything against it."

"Oh, yes I can. Look into my eyes, Boomer," Serena said, trying to hypnotize him to let her go.

"Doesn't work," he smirked. "See that bracelet? Neutralizes your powers."

Getting really angry, she tried to throw a force field at him. It really didn't work. Serena stopped and stared at her hands. She had never felt so useless before.

Cursing loudly she continued to walk after Boomer and suddenly noticed that there was no car.

"Uh, how are we going to get there?", she asked.

"My buddy Supersonic is waiting for us over there. He can fly in supersonic speed and has super strength. He can carry the both of us," he explained.

Serena nodded. Then they approached a guy, who was leaning casually against a street lamp.

"Hey-o. I'm Supersonic, but you can call me James." He smiled and winked at her.

Once again she nodded, not really in the mood for friendliness. Next to James stood an iron made swing. Yes, a swing.

"What are you going to do with this swing?", Boomer asked, obviously just as confused as Serena was.

"Uh, what about flying you home?", James replied, smirking.

"Wait, we're supposed to sit on it?" Serena couldn't believe it.

"Yep. That's the plan." Oh God, this guy was seriously going on her nerves with his stupid smirk.

"Isn't this a bit dangerous? I mean, there are no safety belts or something," Boomer pointed out, his eyebrow raised in disapproval.

James rolled his eyes and said: "Don't you think you can hold on a rope for five minutes? And besides, we're flying so high that no one can see us, so I would have plenty of time to catch you both."

Great. This was going to be awful.

"Okay, let's go!", Serena said and sighed. Since she couldn't do anything against it, they might as well get going.

James looked around to check if anyone was looking, took the upper end (Sorry, didn't know how to call it) and lifted off a few feet. Then he pointed to the seats and Serena, shouldering her backpack, and Boomer sat down. She gasped as he flew away. He was very fast, but they still had no problems with holding onto the rope. After about five minutes he slowed down and finally landed in front of a pretty, yellow house.

Serena jumped of the swing and easily landed on her feet. Then she looked at the house more closely and her jaw dropped. It was way too big for just one person.

"There isn't anyone except for my aunt living in there, right?", she asked anxiously. Living with more than one strange relative? Bad.

James laughed as he answered: "Yeah, there is. I am and so is Miranda's and my daughter Jamie."

"You...You are m-my uncle?", she stuttered, her eyes wide with shock and disgust. This freaky guy was supposed to be her uncle? No way.

"Yes, ma'am," he said and saluted, this goofy grin still on his stupid face.

"Awesome!", Serena snorted, her voice dripping with sarcasm, and walked towards the house.

"Good luck with her, James," Boomer muttered."I bet this girl doesn't even know how to smile."

"I heard that!", she called over her shoulder, a grin spreading over her face, without turning around to face them.

"Good!", Boomer shot back.

She paused as she reached the door, not sure what to do now. Then she figured out, since she was going to live there for quite a long time, she could as well behave as if she was at home. So she pressed the doorbell longer than necessary and pressed it again, as no one opened the door right away. After a moment she heard someone approaching. At the door this person hesitated for a few seconds before opening it with a welcoming smile on her face. It was tall, slender and dark haired woman. Serena guessed, that she had to be around 40 years old. As she looked at Serena closely, her face darkened and a hint of worry shot across it.

"Serena, it's nice to finally meet you. I'm Miranda Powers, your aunt," She said and then pulled Serena into a tight hug. Not knowing what to do, she patted her aunts shoulder and waited until she released her. Miranda had a warm smile on her face. Then the dark look appeared again. What the hell was going on with that woman? Was she on drugs or something? Those mood swings couldn't be normal!

"You're too skinny," she stated. "When was the last time you had something to eat?" Good question. Serena actually had to think about it before she answered.

"Uh...Three days ago," she admitted sheepishly. Obviously this had really shocked her aunt. But for Serena it was nothing unusual. She was used to it by now. Her parents had often left her for longer "missions", leaving her all alone at home without any money or food. Once they had even left her for full two weeks. But she had survived.

"Come on, I'm going to cook something for you," Miranda said warmly, pulling her into the house and leading her to the kitchen. She gestured Serena to sit down and started cooking. After a while the smell of pancakes filled the room. It wasn't like Serena knew the smell very good, she had never had any, but she did remember passing a house and smelling it, because the mother had cooked some for her daughter. She also remembered how much she had wished her parents would cook something like that for her, but it had never happened. She sighed quietly so that her aunt wasn't able to hear her.

"Here, honey. You really need that food," her aunt said, placing a plate in front of her. Serena felt a little uneasy at the loving gesture, not being used to it.

"Thanks," she replied and her eyes widened in surprise; usually she wasn't a girl to be so nice and thankful. Well, but usually stuff like that never happened.

While Serena ate, her aunt questioned her a lot.

"So, what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"Uh...I don't know... Working on my powers, I guess?" It sounded more like a question, because Serena wasn't really sure what to tell her, since she most of the time had really worked on her powers, but not the way her aunt probably expected. Usually she had been trying to figure out how to pain a person as much as possible with as little energy as necessary. But she doubted that Miranda wanted to hear that.

"Ah," she said and nodded. "You're 17, right?"

She just nodded, not bothering to say anything.

"Jamie's 16, turning 17 next Saturday," Miranda told her. "You'll be in the same class as she is, I guess."

"What class?", Serena asked cautiously.

Her aunt laughed as if she had missed something very obvious. "Your class at Sky High, of course!"

Oh God, this couldn't be real! This had to be a nightmare! She couldn't go to Sky High and she certainly wouldn't!

"I'm not going to Sky High," she clarified.

"Of course you are, dear! You can't just stop going to school," Miranda said, frowning deeply.

"But I can't go to Sky High!", she almost shouted and started to panic.

"You don't have a choice, Serena. I know, a new school is always something to worry about, but you will be just fine," her aunt assured her.

Serene shook her head furiously and suggested: "Then send me to a normal High School! My powers are well trained, my parents always looked out for that. There's no need for sending me to Sky High."

Miranda sighed as she replied: "I can't send you to a normal High School and you know that. I would get in trouble with the "Security Centre For Persons With Powers" for doing so."

"B-but I can't go to Sky High!" Serena was hysterical now.

"Why?"

"They're going to hate me! Don't you know what my parents did to Jetstream? The people there are going to hate me for that and for all I know, Will Stronghold is going to that school, too and he's going to hate me the most!", she cried out, desperate for her aunt to understand.

"Of course I know," she mumbled. Then her voice got stronger again. "But you'll be just fine. I promise, no one will do anything to you. And this argument is senseless, I'm sending you to my school, no matter what you say."

"Fine," Serena huffed and got up. "Where's my room?"

"C'mon, I show it to you," James said and Serena spun around. She hadn't recognized he was there, too.

Without looking at her aunt, she followed him into the hallway and then upstairs. He led her to a door right at the end of the corridor and opened it.

"What do you think?," he asked as Serena entered it. "Do you like it?"

What a stupid question. The room was totally blank and had white walls. There was a bed, a closet, a desk, two windows and a door into another room.

"It's kinda.....empty, but other than that it's okay," she replied carefully.

Her uncle laughed and said: "I know, we kept it that empty because it was our guestroom before you came. You can paint the walls if you want, though. And I could help you, of course."

A sudden wave of fondness washed through her. He wasn't that bad, after all.

"Behind that door's your bathroom," he explained and gestured towards it. "It's all yours. You even have your own bathtub."

Serena sat down on the, no, her bed and smiled to herself. Maybe living here wasn't going to be that bad. At least someone seemed to care about her here.

"Hey, kid. I'm gonna let you sleep, 'kay?", James said. "You seriously need to rest. You can sleep as long as you want this week, but next week you have to get up pretty early for school."

Serena turned around and glared at her uncle. She thought he was nice and now he was going to send her to Sky High, too!

"Look, I understand that you don't wanna go to Sky High, but you have to. You say your powers are well trained and I believe you, but there are other things you need to learn, too. Like when to use your powers and stuff. Now sleep. See ya tomorrow morning." With that he left her alone in her new room.

Sighing, Serena got up and into the bathroom to change into her pajamas and brush her teeth. Then she went back into her room, grabbed her backpack and took a picture out. It showed her parents and her smiling. She clearly remembered what the occasion had been: The fight against the Commander and Jetstream. Her parents had been so happy and... drunk. That's why they had been hugging each other a lot. Even Serena had gotten a few hugs and even a kiss from them. Serena, wanting to save that moment, had left to get the camera. When she had entered the room again her parents had been kissing. Usually teens freaked out because of seeing such a thing, but for her it had been the happiest moment of her whole life. After she had cleared her throat they had stopped and taken the picture. While thinking about that tears had started to well up in her turquoise eyes. Wiping them away she placed the picture on her nightstand and lay down on her bed.

After a while she drifted into a deep, peaceful and dreamless sleep.

Yeah, this was the first chapter... What do you think?

Please, please, please review!
