In their hotel room, the three Helmsley brothers slept in the beds until being woken up by their mom. Stephanie reminded her sons that they had school and needed to get up. Groans came from the boys as they moved to do what she wanted. They began to change into their uniforms while yawning with wants to go back to sleep. After dressed and cleaned up for school, the three grabbed their backpacks to meet up with their dad in the hallway who would be driving them to the arena school was at.
"Can I be sick today?" Seth asked his dad.
"No."
"Kane has been torturing me though."
"Still not meaning you can skip school. Now in the car Seth Rollins Helmsley."
With a pout on his face, Seth slipped in the backseat with his twin while Roman sat up front with Hunter. The drove to the arena was quiet and Hunter guided his sons to the make shift classroom.
"Be good in class. Your mom will be picking you guys up at two."
"Bye dad." Roman said.
Before they could enter the classroom, each boy was given a tight hug by their dad. They walked in to see no Big Show, but their classmates were settling at their assigned desks. Seth took his seat between Paige and Charlotte who were sending glares at each other. He dropped his notebook on the desk and collapsed in the chair still pouting on not being allowed to skip. In the chair against the wall was Regal who seemed to be awaiting Big Show to appear and start class. Only through the room's door wasn't Big Show like the students expected.
"Good morning students." Kane greeted in a very cheery tone and dressed in a suit. "Big Show has something to attend so I shall be your substitute teacher."
"I'm in hell." Seth whispered as he tried to sit low in his chair.
"Do not worry. Big Show left today's lessons' plans for you all to have a great school day."
Attendance began to be taken by Kane and when he got to Seth, the boy pressed back in his seat afraid. The man got a dark look on his face before it faded with him calling Becky's name. Glances were given to Seth by his brothers who from the mental bond knew he was panicking.
"Today's class is going to focus on a special piece of biology."
"The fun piece?" Sasha asked with a smirk not noticing Dean look down at his desk.
"Maturity please," Regal ordered the dark pink haired girl.
"No. You will cover that in the health section closer to Royal Rumble," Kane informed and saw Regal move to Dean's side.
"Due to your situation, you and I will be working on some mental exercises that day." Regal whispered to the boy.
"Genetics. Who would like to explain genetics to the rest of the class?" Kane asked the eight students. "Braun please do the honors."
"Genetics comes from parents who had sex to make the baby."
"First part is correct." Kane said. "We're going to focus on genetics with our powers. Who has a parent with powers?"
Charlotte, Roman, Dean, and Seth were the only ones to raise their hands. It seemed Kane already knew that and he moved on with the lesson. The man explained how the genetics containing powers can be active or dormant.
"Who has powers same to their parents?" Kane asked to have only Roman and Charlotte raise their hands. "Roman, yourself and dad both have enhanced strength."
"Wonder what he gets from his mom?" Sasha asked in a whisper to Charlotte that Dean could hear. "No way McMahon's his biological."
"Is there something you wish to share?" Kane asked Sasha.
"What about the Wild Samoan bloodline? Do they hold powers within that Roman got from his biological mom?"
"Biological mom?" Seth looked confused.
"Who Triple H knocked up before he did the McMahon princess." Braun seemed like he was curious on the answer.
"My mom is Stephanie McMahon." Roman told those having all eyes on him.
"Maybe H didn't tell him." Charlotte shrugged.
A frown slipped on Roman's face over what the others were thinking about his family. He was grateful on Kane moving on with the lesson to explain the ways genetics work. The man drew a char on the whiteboard that he wanted the eight students to copy into their notebooks. The chart had three sections that were physical, enhanced, and mental. Seth had not written anything in his notebook that Kane noticed.
"Mr. Seth McMahon-Helmsley, once the chart is complete you shall not be allowed to take a picture with your phone. Before lunch, I will go around checking that you all have done the chart in your notebooks."
Seth pouted as he drew the chart on a blank page in his notebook. Next Kane asked Paige where her powers fell into on the chart. Her frown showed she wasn't really sure and Kane assured her it was not an issue.
"Your powers would fall under enhanced. Reason is that your scream is due to enhancement to your vocal cords."
When to Charlotte, Kane explained her powers being physical due to it affecting her appearance. Those fell under physical were Charlotte, Becky, and Kane himself. Under enhanced were Paige, Roman, Seth, Big Show, Braun, and Sasha. Only Dean fell in mental and Kane gave definitions of the three types of powers that genetics can give. He wrote on the board the power to teleport that the eight were to assign to one of the types.
"It would be physical, right?" Becky tried to answer.
"Yes. Physical splits into mini types. Appearance physical and Action physical. With appearance, the way someone's look changes from their powers. Action is something happens from their powers. Which one would teleporting fall under?"
"Action." Sasha answered.
"Good." Kane then took papers from a folder that he held in view. "This is your homework that is to be completely written out on a separate piece of paper."
The papers were handed out to each of them to put in folders and Kane checked for their charts completed. Once all had been checked, Kane instructed the students to all get into a line for them to be heading to lunch. Dean and Roman were quiet on line while Seth talked non stop with the girls. At the cafeteria, the brothers and Paige took their seats at a table where CJ, Corey, and Renee already were seated.
"How is your day going?" Corey asked.
"Kane is our sub." Paige answered in an amused tone.
"That must suck." CJ looked at Seth.
"I'm afraid he's going to set me on fire." Seth mumbled.
"We all know he can't really do that." Corey told his friend.
"Yeah." Seth sighed.
"Are you okay?" Renee asked Dean who had not said a word.
"What about you?" CJ looked at Roman who too had not talked to any of them.
"Some others made comments." Roman informed.
"Don't let them get to you. Some kids do not always look like both their parents." Paige tried to help him.
"What if they're right?" Roman asked to see Seth shake his head.
"Rome, no way could that be."
"What?" Renee seemed confused while she touched Dean's covered arm.
"Our family never talk about this subject. Grandpa Sika and Grandma Pat had a daughter not much older than our dad. Only picture ever seen by us was one of her with young Anoa'i brothers and Matt." Roman explained.
"Where is she? Why only one picture of her?" Paige asked.
"Because she passed away around the time Roman was born." Seth answered.
"Still am lost on why not talking about her or only having one picture of her." CJ said.
"Even Usos always talk about their Uncle Eddie or Umaga." Paige reminded.
"I've seen the pain when family look at the photo. Whatever happened might just be too painful to remember." Seth had to focus on not phasing through his chair.
"Maybe she died in childbirth and it was me whose responsible." Roman gave what he was thinking.
No more of the conversation could happen since Kane arrived and the eight got in a line like expected to. They went to the room JBL waited for them in. He motioned the eight all to take seats on the end of the mat. Kane stood against a wall near where Regal sat in a chair.
"Today we will be seeing how all of you do against someone with more experience in using their powers." JBL explained and looked to Kane. "First up shall be Banks."
Sasha stood up from the floor as Kane moved away from the wall. The girl waited for Kane to go first with striking. Instead of using fire like the girl had been only expecting, he tripped her and she hit the mat.
"Never expect a single action." JBL told her.
"Looks like my turn." Braun rose to his feet cracking his knuckles.
He rushed at Kane who just slipped out of the way and spun the boy down slamming into mat. JBL shook his head at the boy thinking strength was the answer. Next up to go against Kane was Becky who tried hiding her nervousness. Instead of being tough on the girl, Kane allowed her to use some energy covered punches. After a few minutes, he tripped her lightly onto the mat. No correction came from JBL who just motioned Seth that it was his turn. The boy looked clearly scared to go against Kane after everything the fire controlling man had been doing to him recently.
"Can I pass on my turn?" Seth asked with hope in his voice to JBL.
"No. Now on your feet, Rollins."
Snapping up onto his feet, Seth took hesitant steps closer to Kane on the mat. He wished his brothers would do something helpful like a twin switch to save him from possibly being burned. As Kane moved to grab at the boy, Seth bolted to keep some distance between them. The boy focused on keeping his eyes open like his mom has tried hard teaching him. Each time Kane grabbed for him, Seth avoided with his speed. When given a chance to try knocking Kane down, the boy took it to almost get the man. Only Kane had been ready and turned snatching the boy's shirt to slam down onto the mat.
"Reigns." was all JBL said.
His seat retaken next to his twin, Seth watched Roman verse Kane. Still the man beat the oldest Helmsley boy and it was now Dean's turn. The youngest brother rose to his feet about to step closer to Kane when Kane's phone went off to pause anything to happen.
"Time here is up." Kane told JBL.
"Okay." JBL then looked to his students. "We'll keep working on using your powers in fights."
The eight all formed a line to follow Kane back to the classroom. Seats were retaken by them as Kane began reviewing everything he'd taught them. As it approached two, Kane reminded them to do their homework and do it the correct way. When finally two o'clock, Kane opened the classroom door that revealed Stephanie as the first guardian for pick-up.
"Ambrose. Reigns. Rollins."
All three boys grabbed their bags and headed out of the classroom with their mom. Questions on how their day was got asked by Stephanie that she received similar answers of okay to.
"Homework." she instructed once they were back at the hotel and to the boys' room.
"Mom." Roman turned to her.
"Yeah?"
"Nothing." Roman sighed and sat on a bed to remove his notebook.
Stephanie had a worried look as she left. "Okay. Dinner will be in a few hours."
"Are you really going to ask her?" Seth looked at his older brother after the door had closed behind their mom.
"I want to know, but don't want to hurt her."
"Today has been a rough school day." Seth sighed as they began doing their homework together.
As they did their homework, Dean noticed none of the powers ever had gotten labeled metal. It left many questions going through the boy on if his powers were actually natural ones compared to his brothers' own.
Please Review. Happy Holidays.
