Chapter 3

"What are we going to do about this?" Jasper asked as he mounted the steps to his front door.

Edward grumbled a few paces behind, "It's all Alice's fault anyway! She's the one who won the tickets! She's the one who had to save the mortal!"

Alice lightly shoved her brother up the stairs. "You would have done the same thing if it was Bella."

Edward scoffed, "They are entirely different scenarios."

Jasper opened the door and was met with Esme and Carlisle's glares. The pair stood unmoving in front of the big screen television which currently had a close up of the anchorwoman on the local nightly news. Next to her head was a picture of the Cullens and Bella standing with a dazed Tony Oscar.

"This is Kristen Strain reporting live from the LTT news studio. Apparently, the small town of Forks, Washington has a new bunch of superheroes." The anchorwoman said, "Their talent was put on display as one saved Tony Oscar, as seen on the newest hit television show, Stars of the U.S., from a large piece of overhead equipment as it fell from the ceiling. Little is known about them but hopefully, they will come to the rescue once more if trouble calls."

The clip of Emmett telling the media that the Cullens we superheroes was shown afterwards.

Esme began to impatiently tap her foot. "Well? Have you anything to say for yourselves?"

"Uh oh," Alice said. "I should've seen this coming."

"How could you have let this happen! We've worked so hard to keep a low profile, and you all manage to screw everything up in a matter of minutes, on live TV no less!" Carlisle exclaimed. He paced back and forth in front of the couch where his rash children sat shrinking away from his rant.

Esme stepped behind her husband. "Normally I would be able to overlook you're mistake, after all, it was someone's life, but this is a big deal! You do realize that in order to not expose us, we're going to have to keep up this charade?"

The Cullen kids looked at each other. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose at hearing his siblings' thoughts.

"So let me get this straight," Emmett said incredulously. "You are willing to let us pretend we're superheroes?"

"I don't see any other choice!" Carlisle cried, taking Esme's hand and walking from the room. "We'll leave you to puzzle it out."

Edward sighed. He could see, and hear, the wheels turning in their heads. He turned to look at Bella, who was looking slightly miserable.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Isn't it obvious? You all have amazing vampire powers and last time I checked…" Bella trailed off as she felt for the vein in her wrist. Feeling her pulse still lingering, she said sarcastically, "Darn it. I'm still not a vampire."

"What we need is a really awesome team name!" Emmett said enthusiastically in an attempt to make everyone see the situation his way, as yet another exciting happening in the Bella era. "How about The Cullenators, plus Bella? Or better yet, Bella and the Cullenators! At least this way, even though you don't have any powers, your name will be first."

"Emmett," Rosalie rebuffed. "Bella and the Cullenators sounds too much like a cheesy band name."

"Well, in any case, when we have to go back out and save someone, they won't be thinking of our names." Alice said, pondering other possibilities, most of which having to do with shopping. "They'll be seeing our fabulous superhero costumes!"

Edward stopped Alice in her tracks. "I agree with Carlisle. Do you really think that we can go into the public eye after something like this was on the news? No way will you ever get me into tights anyway." Alice looked slightly discouraged, but Bella looked confused. She couldn't remember Carlisle saying anything about not leaving the house. As Edward tapped his temple Bella's mind clicked.

She let out a remarkably eloquent "Ohh…"

"Well, at any rate, we don't have to worry about Charlie. He probably would have short-circuited." Bella's father had decided to try ice-fishing with a few friends in Alaska.

"Yes. That's all good and well, but I've had another idea!" Alice sang. Edward groaned loudly. "That's right, Eddie, a new way to get you into spandex. Carlisle never said anything about using the internet to buy costumes."

A/N: Poor Edward. We tried to make this one longer and hope it was okay. It was really more of a transitional chapter anyway. Next chapter we should get the team name and individual super hero names but we still could use ideas. Drop us a review if you feel like it. Also, we have a poll up on our profile. Go and vote!
