REVIEW TIMEE!1
Micky-Moo: Thnx
Cow-Lover2214: Thnx. And I also have a spot spot for the bad boys as well
Finally, Will had made it back to Power Placement after forever. "What took you so long?" I asked, hissing that out. "I'll tell you later." Will said as he went up the steps and onto the platform. For a few minutes, he was just standing there awkwardly. Then he turned to Boomer and he whispered something to him.
"What do you mean you don't know what your power is?" Boomer asked. Will just chuckled, nervously. But that made Boomer laugh. "I got it. You're messing with the coach. Just like your old man." Boomer said as he recovered from his laughing fit and as he pulled out his remote. "Car." Boomer said as he pressed the button. The same car that was dropped on Larry was dropped on Will. But instead of catching it like Larry did, Will immediately went to the floor. I had to wince out because who wouldn't wince at a car dropping on them? "Are you insane?" I heard Will say from under the car as he popped his head out from under the car. "I don't have super strength." Will said. Boomer pressed the button again and the car went back up.
Will recovered from the near-death experience as he got up from the floor. "Oh, I get it. You're a flyer, just like your mom and sister. Why didn't you say so?" Boomer asked as he pressed another button on his remote and it sends Will flying towards a pillar. I winced at the impact because that sounded hard. "Kid, come on. Quit messing around. I don't have all day. What's your power?" Boomer asked. "I don't have one." Will muttered. Boomer looks very disappointed.
"Stronghold...SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDEEEKICK!" Boomer boomed out, furiously.
"Strongholdette, take your brother up to Nurse Spex." Boomer said. I just nodded as I helped Will up. We were walking towards the office. "Now do you plan on telling dad?" I asked. "Probably." Will muttered in reply. "Now you wanna know why I was late to Power Placement?" Will asked. "You don't have to tell me." I said. "No. After what happened, you deserve to know." Will said. I could tell this might be important. "What happened?" I asked.
"Okay, I accidentally ran into Warren Peace…" Will started off. "The big, scary guy that hates us what dad did to his dad?" I asked. Will nodded before continuing. "So, I went into the bathroom and Ethan was shoved out of a stall and it looks like he had his head dunked in the toilet. When Ethan was shoved out, Lash and Speed came out of the same stall Ethan was shoved out. We exchange some words but when Speed left, Lash was talking about you." Will explained. "About?" I said, nervously.
I'm not saying that because I like the guy. I'm just...curious.
"It was about how you warped Boomer's mind. He gave me his number to give it to you, but I ripped it up and threw it away." Will said. "Good. I think he's trying to take advantage of me." I said. I could picture Lash as a bad boy who takes advantage of girls then throwing him away like a piece of trash. "I'll see you home." Will said as he hugged me and as he walked into Nurse Spex's office.
As I was walking down the halls, a blur came by me and I was knocked to the ground. "Okay, Strongholdette, how'd you do it?" I heard a voice ask. It was Speed. "How did I what?" I asked, getting up. "Warped Boomer's mind." Speed said, getting to the point. "It's a little something like this." I said as I was manipulating with Speed's mind and I was making him confused with his surroundings. I stopped that as he ran off with his super speed, finding some innocent sidekick to bully. "Huh, I was right." I heard. I turned around and it was Lash.
Great. As this day is going swell.
"What do you want?" I growled. "Easy, princess. I heard you warped Boomer's mind. I wouldn't mind if you warped with mine." Lash said with a smirk. "The fuck's wrong with you?" I said as I slapped him before walking back to Power Placement.
Lash's POV
So, Stronghold's sister is a handful? I like that.
The first day went quicker than I thought because the last bell rang. "Dude, you still didn't tell me what happened?" Speed asked. "I had, uh, a little encounter with the Stronghold girl." I said with a smirk. "Dude, you gotta be careful around her. You know how she warped with my mind and Boomer's mind." Speed warned me. I just smirk. "Speed, when have I ever be careful?" I asked. I saw the brunette get on one of the buses so I decided to go on the same bus as her.
Boy, this should be an interesting ride.
Hayden's POV:
I decided to go in the way back of the bus. I could sense that someone is sitting next to me. And it was Lash.
God dammit, can this guy just leave me alone?
Well, it's too late since the bus is already off.
"Can you just leave me alone?" I asked, voicing out my earlier thoughts. "I can't help it, princess. You intrigue me." Lash said. "One, never call me princess and two, are you really trying to charm me?" I asked with a blank expression. "I don't know. How do you see it, Strongholdette?" Lash asked. Really, first princess and now Strongholdette? "I see it as a bad boy trying to take advantage of the new good girl." I said as the bus stopped. I could see it was at my bus stop so I got off of the bus.
As I was walking, I could hear footsteps along. "Hey, wait up!" I heard a familiar voice said. I groaned as I face palmed and groaned.
Does Lash ever heard of the word no?
"I swear, is this how you get a girl's attention?" I asked. "I never knew it was a crime to walk a lady home. You never know what kind of dangers could be here." Lash said. "Trust me, I'm no damsel in distress and I can actually fight my own battles." I said as we got to my house. "Damn, princess." Lash sighed out. "Hayden! My name's Hayden! Not princess!" I snapped. The door had opened and it revealed my parents. My dad had a stern expression while my mom was trying to contain her smile. "Hi dad." I said, innocently as I turned back to Lash. "Bye Rubber Boy." I muttered as I entered my house with my mom.
Lash's POV:
Hayden went inside with Jetstream while I was standing near the Commander, who was not pleased with me with his daughter. "I'm gonna say this once and once only. Stay away from my daughter." The Commander said as he slammed the door in my face. He sounded like I was going to take advantage of her.
I won't take advantage of her...I'm starting to get intrigued by her.
No, Lash. You gotta focus on the plan.
Hayden's POV:
Several seconds after my mom and I went in my house, my dad came in. "You gotta be careful with the guys at Sky High, Hayden. Some of them are bad news." my dad warned me as he walked away. "So, Hayden, who was that guy?" my mom asked as soon as my dad left. "Mom!" I groaned out as I hid my face behind my hands. "It can be just between you and I." my mom said. "He's just some senior who kept harassing me after Power Placement." I simply said. "Ooh, senior." my mom said, giving me a teasing look. I sighed out. "I think he just wants to take advantage me me." I said. "Who knows? Maybe it would turn around." my mom said.
The night came quick as I changed into a white loose crop top with Stitch on it, black and grey sweatpants from PINK and white Chuck Taylors. I had also put my hair up in a messy bun. I came downstairs as Will came in the house. "There he is." my dad said as Will walked through the door. "Hey." my mom greeted. "Man of the hour." my dad said. "Will, how'd it go?" my mom asked. "Dad, we need to talk." Will said. "You mean a little hero-to-hero talk, I think I might just know the place." my dad said with a smirk. I know what place he was talking about.
The Secret Sanctum.
After the talk between my mom and I about Lash and yet before I changed into my comfortable outfit, my dad took me to the Secret Sanctum after I told him that I got placed in Hero. "Hun." my mom said as she threw him the robot's eye, which my dad had easily caught.
Several minutes later, I have gotten a text from Will.
To: Hayden
From: Will
Meet me on the roof
My dragonfly wings were out as I opened my bedroom window. I had flew over to where Will's bedroom window. I also saw Layla using her power to come up to the roof. "Hey Layla, Hayden." Will sighed out. "Hi." Layla said as Layla and I sat down next to Will. "So, where were you after school? I was worried." Layla asked. "I was at the nurse's office. And the news just keeps getting better and better that I'll never get my powers." Will said. "How'd your dad take it?" Layla asked. "Will didn't tell him." I said. "What was I supposed to do, Hayden? Dad showed me the Secret Sanctum." Will said. "Hayden's right. You have to tell him." Layla said. "My parents are the greatest superheroes on the planet. Everyone expects greatness from Hayden and I." Will said. "Will, you are great." I said. "Thanks." Will muttered.
"Okay, so you're a sidekick. It's not the end of the world. When life hands you lemons…" Layla started as she grew a branch that had an apple on it instead of a lemon. "Make apple juice?" Will asked, sarcastically. "I can't make lemons. I don't know what it is." Layla muttered. "See, now you have an awesome power and you would've made hero easily." Will said. "I'm not into labels." Layla answered, simply. "But why would you choose to be a sidekick?" Will asked. "Because I think the whole thing is stupid, dividing people into groups like that. I mean, what is this?" Layla replied. "High school?" Will asked, being a smart-ass again.
"The only place that it would happen." I muttered.
