The next few days Will felt better about being a side kick, mostly because his friends helped him get through it and Amanda even though she wasn't a side kick helped him out with his homework,

One day Will and Amanda's friends went to their house to work on homework and Amanda was helping them since it had to do with heroes and she felt like she could help them. The Commander and Jetstream were on a mission and weren't expected to be home until later but their dad came home early

" dad you're home early" Will said

" Yah, what's up?"

" We finished up early and I saw a football and I was thinking that I hadent thrown the pig skin with my favorite children in a while, but now I see you invited friends over for a study group, so I won't bother you, but could you tell me your names and your powers?

Zach stood up and said, " I'm Zach, I glow"

"Magenta, I shape shift"

" Ah a shape shifter" The Commander was impressed

" Into a ginniapig" Magenta added

"Great, that's great," he didn't sound impressed

" I'm Ethan, I melt"

"That's really great" The Commander said, he looked at them with confused looks and then went back to normal dad like mode, "so who wants a tuna salad sandwich? I make a mean sandwich"

" Uh-oh" Amanda thought, she knew what her dad's sandwiches were like and she thought to everybody, " say no, say no"

Everybody got the message and said, "no thank you"

"Ok," Commander said as he went in the kitchen to make himself one

Amanda and Will went into the kitchen to get drinks

" Those are a nice bunch of friends you two have there... does that Zach guy really glow, Commander asked

" sometimes" Amanda said

Wow they really lowered the super hero bar since I've been there" Steve said

"They're not heroes" Will said sadly

Their dad looked at them and said, "Good for you guys, you're hanging out with the side kicks, I sure didn't have the guts when I was your age"

" There's nothing bad with being a side kick" Amanda said

" I know, I used to have one, saved my life once too, old what's his name..." their dad said

" Good because I am one" Will said

" Am what? Commander asked

"A side kick" Will said

"Who is" Commander asked

" I am... Dad I am a sidekick" Will said

Dad are you listening?" Amanda asked

" I am a sidekick" Will looked at his dad who was finally listening with wide eyes, I washed out of power placement

It was silent for a moment and then The Commander got mad, WASHED OUT! He was saying a lot of things and blaming it all on Boomer and he was going to call the school

" DAD LISTEN" Amanda said when Will was trying to explain

" I don't have powers" Will whispered

" but you made it look like..." Steve said

" That I had super strength? Look I'm proud to be a side kick... no I'm proud to be hero support. The twins went back to there work, and everybody was proud of Will for facing the Commander.

A few days passed and Amanda liked being a hero, she liked a bunch of the classes, she had a lot of classes with Warren, but he always glared at her but she couldn't help it, she liked him.

Amanda's next class was Mad Science with Medulla

" Ok class, for the next few weeks we will be working with partners, I chose them for you, and how I did it is by opposites. We are going to make this fun, I'm going to let you find your opposite and I'll tell you if you're right or not" Medulla said and he smiled evilly

Amanda raised her hand

" yes Ms. Stronghold?"

"Do you mean opposites as in personallities or in powers?" Amanda asked, afraid of what the answer would be, she might like Warren, but she didn't want to be his partner

" powers" was his answer, "on your mark, get set, go"

Everybody got up and tried to find their opposites. Amanda went up to Warren and he just glared at her

" Warren we are working together, we're going to have to get along some time" Amanda said with her arms crossed, "do we have a truce?"

She put her hand out, Warren took it but burned her but Warren didn't let go for some time

" Fine you want to play hard ball?" Amanda said challengely

Amanda had water come out of her hands and it dowsed the fire and Warren finally let go

" Water beats fire every time" Amanda said with anger in her voice, she crossed her arms again

" Everybody sit next to your partners" Medulla said

Amanda raised her hand

" Yes Ms. Stronghold?" Medulla asked with annoyance

" Is there any chance I can have a different partner? We don't work well together

" Of course you don't, you're opposites" Medulla said

" No you don't understand, we..."

" I understand perfectly what your problem is, you both are to work together, you're opposites, and opposites attract" Medulla said

" not these opposites" Warren said

" wow the guy talks" Amanda thought to herself

" trust me, you'll thank me later" Medulla said

" I doubt it" Warren and Amanda said together, they both looked at each other and glared

" ok if there are no more questions and complaints lets get started on what we are doing for the next few weeks, we are talking about ray guns, you and your partner are to research the ray gun on your own time and present your research in an interesting way, for a few weeks we are going to talk about the ice gun, and every group will have to work together, then for a few weeks we are going to talk about the laser gun and then you have to make a laser gun" Medulla explained to the class, " I have printed my instructions and you will get them tomorrow when you come to class."

" how the heck are we going to do this? I do not want Warren coming to my house, he might kill my whole family, he has so much rage. I can't believe I have to be partners with him, even though he's cute, he's mean in a scary way." Amanda thought to herself.

Finally class was over and it was time for lunch, Amanda lost her appitite and she went to the library to work on the big project, 10 minutes later she heard a lot of noise coming from the lunch room and she went to investigate. when she got there the cafeteria was destroyed and there was fire everywhere and Will and Warren were fighting and nobody was doing anything, Amanda saw Warren throw a fireball at Will and Amanda used her water powers to dowse the fire before it hit will

" Thanks sis" Will yelled

" No problem bro" Amanda said and she was mad, she dowsed every fire ball that Warren threw at Will and her and then Amanda used her telekenetic powers and threw Warren into a wall.

That made him mad, he got up and fully fired up and he was coming after the twins with full force and even though Amanda was dowsing him with water he would fire back up and he would be angrier

Layla grabbed a fire extinguisher and threw it to Will and was trying to tell him how to use it

" Why did you throw it to him? He doesn't have powers" Amanda yelled

Warren came after the twins again and almost got them but Will pulled the top of the fire extinguisher off and aimed it at Warren and he was dowsed and he fell down, at the same time principal powers came in the cafeteria.

" uh-oh" Amanda thought, "cool Will has super strength, oh man we are in so much trouble"

" You three come with me" Principal Powers said

The three left the very uncomfortable quiet cafeteria and followed the principal to the detention room, Principal Powers opened the room and the three stepped inside the very white, as white as snow, Will was trying to get out of getting in trouble since it wasn't his fault but that made Warren mad and he tried to ignite his flames but nothing happened but a clicking sound.

Warren turned to Amanda and he was angry and asked, " WHAT DID YOU DO?"

" She didn't do anything," Principal Powers said, " This room binds all super powers, this is not how you should spend the school year living up or down to your fathers' reputations. Now all of you take a seat, you will be in here for the rest of the day and two hours after school"

She left the room and there was silence

" Well since we're going to be stuck in here for 6 hours, I suggest we make a truce" Will said as he stretched out his arm for a hand shake from Warren, " What do you say?"

Warren glared at Will and Amanda and said, " If you two cross me again, I'll roast both of you alive, water powers or no water powers"

Amanda glared at Will and said, "Just give it up Will, Warren wants to be a loner all his life, he doesn't even try to make friends, he's my mad Science lab partner, don't know how that's going to work."

" How'd you wind up with him?" Will asked shocked

" Because your sister and I are opposites, fire, water... duh" Warren said

" And according to Medulla, opposites attract" Amanda put in

Finally after six hours of being bored the three could finally leave, the Strongholds went on Ron Wilson's bus and Warren went on a different bus

" So how mad do you think mom and dad are?" Amanda asked Will

" I don't know, you're the mind reader, I just punch stuff" Will said but it got Amanda giggling

They got to their house and Will was really excited about his power that when he opened the door, he ripped it from the house

" Oops" Will said as he leaned the door against the house

They turned around to two very mad looking parents

" So anything interesting happen at school today?" Josie asked her children

" Well if you haven't noticed, I got my powers" Will said, he was lifting Josie up and she still looked mad and said, " your principal called"

Will put her down

" Fighting at school? You both know better" Josie scolded

The teens looked at their father who looked mad and he's usually the fun one

" Sanctum, both of you... now" Steve said sternly

They got to the Sanctum and the twins looked at their father

" William Theadore Stronghold, Amanda Lynn Stronghold... come here you guys" Steve looked happy now and he hugged them both

" You're not mad?" Will asked surprised

" Mad? Son you have powers, you both fought your first enemy, How could I be mad at you guys?" Steve was very happy

" Mom won't approve of us not being in trouble" Amanda said

"Amanda, what are you doing?" Will asked, he didn't want to be in trouble

" Oh lets just say you're grounded for two weeks from... your nintendo wii" Steve said happily

" we don't have a nintendo wii" Amanda said

" you do now" Steve said as he turned a chair around and there was a package

" Oh my Gosh" the teens said, everybody was excited

When they came out of the sanctum everybody was serious again and the twins had to look sad and look like Steve chewed them out and they were grounded from the Wii
