Chaoter 3

She wasn't with friends.

Standing in an alley dressed in tight spandex was New York's newest hero, Pheonix, in front of her were three broken and defeated thugs currently being levitated away from the woman they had just been about to defile. Sobs wracking the young women's body as she lay shocked at what would've happened if the young super hero hadn't been there.

"Let's get you out of here." The short woman looked up with teary yet grateful eyes at her savior, allowing the hero to hold her as she was led to the police station with the disgusting men being levitated behind still unaware of what was happening in their concussed state.

"Thank you." She whispered gaining a smile from the red head.

"Hold tight." This was her only warning as they rocketed from their place on the ground, a sound of joy rocketed from the woman's throat as they quickly sped towards the police station only stopping when they landed on the pavement before the station, officers walking over to apprehend the criminal as Pheonix rose in the sky and sped away.

Her eyes viewed the city, still regretting lying to her friend but not wanting to put him in harms way with the information of what she did. Landing softly on a roof top she used her powers to gently skim the minds of the millions of people around her, looking for any traces of danger in a way that had become second nature for her, yet still needing to concentrate so they neither felt the presence running over their thoughts or she pushed too deep and saw their memories. She lost herself in this for several minutes before falling on a mind she had never felt before a being who pushed her out roughly causing her mind to snap back in her body as she heard the screams of fearful people.

She levitated once more in the sky, going high until she could see a scene splayed before her. A man robed in light whose power calmed the storm of emotions of the people in front of him, shooting a beam of light from his hands as his opponent carried on completely unaware that his opponent would not play the game that many super heroes did. Simply silencing the terrorist with a wave of his hand followed by a deep baritone voice that's power and volume rolled through the city, silencing all those if only for a moment as the wished to listen to the man whose cape flustered wildly in the wind.

"As long as there is evil like you in the Universe, there will always be people like me to fight it." The words resounded with her even as the figure disappeared completely from view, breaking her from her shock as she rushed forward in order to help the people caught in the destruction wrought by the villain who lay passed out on the street.

-Time skip-

She sat alone in her room, across the street from her best friend house still mulling over what he had said. He told her the truth, told her what happened while she couldn't even tell him that she was a mutant. She was afraid that the knowledge would forever break their friendship, or even worse make them friends forever making her sit on the sidelines as he dated woman never considering her to be a potential partner. That night she cried, she cried for her weakness, she cried for her friend, but most of all she cried for a relationship that she feared would never come to be.

-Scene Change-

He sat on his bed floating with his eyes closed as Egyptian Hieroglyphics floated around his body, curving and dancing as he softly enchanted while viewing the vague knowledge of what he could at his current level of magical mastery. The part of him that was as ancient as the universe knew that he should be strong while the measurement of his magic showed it would take a long time and an immense amount of training to reach a level where he could challenge Thanos. His eyes snapped open, glowing softly as he saw the spells he knew, from the simple tricks that he could grasp to spells so complicated and powerful that he wouldn't be able to grasp them if he practiced for a decade. He thought of how far he would need to advance to truly become a worthy adversary for the mad Titan, defeating Electro was one thing but it would be an entirely different matter when it came to fighting the tyrant. He smirked as he prepared to go and fight crime, you gotta start somewhere after all.
