Chapter 1: Prologue & Chapter 1: Origins


*AUTHORS NOTE: Hi guys. This was a day dream I had a couple days ago. This setting comes AFTER Virgil's dad finds out that Virgil and Richie are superheroes. This also takes place in X-Men EVOLUTION. When they all are recruiting and in high school. And the other characters are my own made-up people. I hope you find this enjoyable and please use respectable language when you give me a review. Also, for the sake of coming books (and wanting the story line to be correct) this book starts in the year Destiny and Andrew skip 9th (even though they're 14 turning 15) and head straight to 10th for story progression!*

Prologue

Hi, I'm Destiny Garzairiz ( It's pronounced gar-zAIR-ez btw). Aka Element. I'm a mutant and a bang baby. (otherwise known as a Meta-Mutants) You see I'm both. It's a long story, one you're about to hear. See, I live in a city, well no. I live OUTSIDE a city called Dakota city. We are about 30 minutes out of Bayville, New York. Which is where the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning is. You shall see why that's important later. I didn't go to school. I homeschooled, so did my best friend, Andrew Gradly. (AKA Voltage) But one day we both noticed something about ourselves. We were… changing. We could tell that each of us were different some how but we never talked about it face to face. And then one day, it happened. Then soon my friend and I were out in Bayville going to the best high school in the east coast. Then we meet Virgil Hawkins and Richie Foley and… Well, you'll see soon enough. Let's start where it all began. One day, while i was doing the dishes.

Chapter 1: Beginnings

Sunday, May. 15th, 8:29 P.M, Outside Dakota City, The Garzairiz home.

"MOM! It's happening again!"

Michaela Garzairiz ran down the stairs of her 3 story home. Lately she had felt rather stressed. With her eldest daughter entering high school next year, and dealing with some odd goings on, she feels like she has seen it all.

"Destiny! What on earth is the matter?" She asks as she leans over her eldest daughter. The one with odd goings on.

"It's happening again!" Destiny cries out in pain to her mother. " I'm having HUGE headaches. And I can feel the power… rushing though me!" This has happened a lot lately.

" Destiny, what do you mean? Please tell me you're not one of those "Bang-babys" I've seen on Tv."

" Mom," She replies though the pain. "I wasn't that close to the explosion. But, there might be a chance."

"How?" She asks exasperatingly.

" Well, AUGG! When the gas exploded, people ran past our group, just before they collapsed. Andrew and I helped some medics carry a couple of them. They may have had the gas on them mom."

Destiny couldn't help but wish she had never gone on the church's youth trip to the drama theater, near the docks.

"Well, what's done is- gasp!"

"What mom?" Destiny suddenly felt the pain gone, her head clear, and her power rush concentrate to her finger tips. "What's wrong?"

Her mother looked at her weakly and replied, "Turn around."

Destiny slowly turned, and gasped when she saw a single stream of water rising out of the sink.

"M-mom, did I do that?"

" I think you did."

"How do I stop?"

"You're the one doing it."

" I don't know how. Let me try to… well, turn it off." After try various things that didn't work she threw her hands up in the air and yelled, "Would you just STOP!" With the stop she threw her hands down and the water lowered quickly. "Well then, that's taken care of."

"For now. Honey, you need to be very careful with this… this power you have. Do you understand?"

"I'm not stupid mom. Nor am I 10 years old. I know what precautions to take."

Her mom lays a hand on her shoulder. " I know. This is just so, so…"

"So un-real?"

"Yes. But hey, you've always dreamed of being a super hero! Like that uh, what's his name, Man-bat, Bat-guy, no not that ether?"

"Batman mom?"

"Yes. But without all the fighting bad guys part."

"I'm just a girl with super powers then mom." She replied with a sudden realization.

"Well, in the superhero aspect, yes."

"Gee, thanks mom. So… I'm a bang-baby with hydrokinetic powers. Cool."

"Well, can you use your hydro power to finish the dishes like I asked?"

"Oh yeah, sure. Thanks for not freaking out mom."


Andrew's POV

Monday, May 16th, 8:29 A.M, Outside Dakota City, The Gradly home.

"Aw, man! Not again Drew!"

My little brother Sam shook me awake rather rudely. I've been getting used to this. It's been going on for the past couple of weeks, on and off anyway.

"My blanket is sticking to you again! Can you get it off?" He shouts right in my ear.

"Sam! I'm awake! Just give me a sec. I need to concentrate." I replied, trying to shut my, well I suppose you could call them powers, off.

" Why does my blanket stick to you so much! First it was just paper and pens and paper clips," Sam started to complain as I got up and tried to wrestle the blanket off me.

"Then, it started to get to socks and tee-shirts," He continued, " It's been 4 days! And now, we can't keep anything magnetic or, uh, static-able, off you!"

"Trust me Sam," I answered still trying to get the blanket off me, "I know more that YOU!" With that 'YOU' I finally managed to get the blanket off me. "There, see, no problem."

"Oh sure, except for the fact that the blanket is floating in mid-air."

"It's WHAT?!" I looked over and sure enough, from my hand to the blanket there was a single path of blue, well, let's call it lightning, holding the blanket up. "Gasp! How am I doing this Sam?"

" I think it's pretty obvious!" He replied to me coyly. "You are STATIC!"

Static and Gear were new heros in Dakota city, no one new much about them, except what they looked like, from eye witness descriptions.

"Dude!" I answered in frustration. "Static is BLACK! I can't be Static! And me being Gear is also out of the question, I can barely get my laptop to work. He is a super techno-genius!"

"Okay, I guess I believe you." He replied to me like he was some sort of detective. "But, I do believe I know how it's possible. You are…"

"A bang-baby!" I interrupted.

"Oh sure, that explains everything! But wait, that's not possible Andrew. You can't be a bang-baby. You weren't at the docks when the explosion happened."

"But I can be one Sam! When the youth group went to the theater on …"

"The one near the docks?" He said, his eyes growing wide.

"Yeah, that one. After the gas exploded everyone ran out of the theater in panic. Destiny and I saw some guys collapse on the side of the road. We helped some medics take some of them to the ambulance."

"But how do you and Static have the same sort of powers."

"I don't know Sam. I just don't know." We stood there for a couple of minutes just thinking about this new power we have just deciphered about me. Suddenly, Sam looked up with a smirk on his face and broke the silence.

"So can you do what he does?"

" What do you mean Sam?"

"Well, if Static has not only Electro-kinesis but also Electro-magnetism, you should have it too."

"How do you know so much about Static? I've only read about him in the newspapers, and I've never seen him on TV." I stood there as Sam was looking at the ground. Then hesitantly he spoke.

"Well, remember when I rode my bike to the mall to pick up Wally West's birthday present?"

"Yeah, what about it?" I asked curiously.

"Well, do you remember when the bang-baby 'Hot Streak' attacked the music store?"

"Yeah, it was in the paper. What are you getting to Sam?" I asked, trying to get him to talk faster.

"Well, let's just say I was around that part of the mall when Static showed up. Heh-heh."

I stood there, in shock for a moment but I managed to say weakly, "You've actually SEEN Static?!"

"Well, yeah. I may have helped him a little… Heh." He just stood there, running his fingers though his hair when I thought of another question. (Okay, maybe a couple of questions.)

"How did you help him? What did he look like? (Besides him being black) Is he someone we might know? Was Gear with him?" I asked frantically. This was not your everyday discussion with your brother.

"Calm down Drew! I only answer questions one at a time!" He practically shouted.

"Okay!" I said as I slowed my breathing down. "Go ahead."

"All right, question one. I helped him by putting a CD in a player, turning it on high and tossed it to him saying, 'Dude, give it some juice!' I ran out with my ears covered, he juiced it, and the sound knocked Hot Streak off-balance long enough for Static and Gear to take him down."

"Amazing! You deserve something for that." ZAP!

"Ow! Heyyy."

(So what? I gave him a little zap. I'm his brother, that's what I do.)

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! You could've been hurt or killed!" I looked at him harshly. Then a smirk came over my face. "But that was pretty cool." I said a little less harshly, and with more respect.

"Yeah," He replied, quite relived. "It was VERY cool…" There was a couple of seconds of silence then he added. "Or perhaps it was SHOCKING! Ha-haa!" He started to burst with laughter while I stood there, un-amused.

"Yeah, hilarious Sam. Could you keep answering my questions? PLEASE!"

"Oh, right. So, as you know, he is colored. He is also a teen, most likely going into high school next year. His costume is super awesome. A white shirt with a lightning bolt in a circle, a blue coat, a gold belt with a white mask with light blue shades."

"Whoa, cool." I replied as I imagined it. "Okay, keep going."

"As for someone we might know…" He hesitated. "I really doubt it."

I felt a bit disappointed. I really wanted to know who he was. "Oh, well. Was Gear with him?"

"Yeah. After the battle he came up to me and said that, 'My bravery was duly noted and my tactical maneuvers where very wise for a youngling of my stature.'" He paused for a moment. "I only understood half of what he said… but it was cool!" He paused again and looked at me then asked, "What did he mean by 'my tactical maneuvers where very wise for a YOUNGLING of my STATURE?!' What does that mean?" He tried to figure it out as I tried to hold my laughter back.

"Well, ahh…" I really was starting to lose it. I had to change the subject quick. "I not sure Sam. Let's go down and eat breakfast."

"Fine." He paused then looked up with surprise. "YOU DO KNOW WHAT HE MEANT! Don't you Drew!?"

I finally lost it and through my laughter I managed to put out "The fact that you don't know is PERFECT proof that what he said is one-hundred percent true!" I walked out, still laughing. But as I ran down the stairs I heard him call out after me…

"Now what is THAT supposed to mean Drew? Andrew?! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!"

"Maybe you'll figure it out when you grow out of your 'Youngling STATURE!" I yelled out in response.


hey! R&R please! 2/18~ I changed Peter to Andrew. I mean, what if I want to put in Spidey? I sooo didn't think that though. Peter is now Andrew!
