Lloyd walked, his silver dyed hair blowing in the soft fall breeze. Around him people walked by, giving him long glances. Why? Because the usually not handsome, Lloyd was using his reality bending powers to make himself look handsome. Whereas he was usually a thin, scrawny kid, the illusion was of a large and thickly muscled man. One thing was consistent between the two forms however, his unkempt silver hair and his light blue eyes.

Lloyd had discovered his powers earlier in the day, when he was wishing he was more interesting, as per the usual. He'd wished that he was tall, muscular, and tough, and lo and behold he was suddenly he was in this new and tall form!

Although Lloyd could see through his own..illusion, everyone else couldn't, and when he snapped at them about why they were staring at him, they told him what he looked like to them.

Lloyd had finally gotten his wish, he was finally about to have an interesting life!

Anyway, now he was walking through Arcadia Neo occasionally placing an illusion in front of someone to see how they'd react, not out of any malice, he wasn't evil, but out of curiosity, he wanted to see what his powers could really do.

"My, My, It seems like I'm not the only one here with powers, hmm." A voice said, coming from within Lloyd somehow.

This broke his illusion, revealing the regular version of Lloyd.

"Oh, it's you." A girl stated, glaring right at him.

She had brown hair and eyes, an athletic frame, and was wearing a white undershirt, a grey long overshirt, a brownish-red belt, and a pair of skinny pants.

Lloyd immediately knew who this was, she was the bane of kids like him's existence, her name was. "Lillian." Lloyd said, immediately frightened by the girl as she took a step forward.

"Oh good, I thought you forgot me." She whispered, stepping closer to the silver haired teen.

Lloyd, remembering that he had super powers, stepped back himself and lifted his hands up, and lighting them with flames.

"Get away from me! I'll-I'll burn you!" He warned, trying to scare off the bully. Lillian rolled her eyes.

"You can't fool someone who can read your mind." She stated, walking closer. "I heard all about how you can make illusions, and honestly I'm jealous, think of the real possibilities you have with those powers." She trailed off, poking a finger on the 18-year-old's chest.

"Why are you here?" He demanded, stepping away from the girl.

"Hmph. Most boys would kill to be the object of my attention." She stated indignantly. "But if you must know, I was just out looking for people with powers like me, I was going to give up when I found you." Once more she poked him. "So, I'm proposing a partnership. You and me, together, use our powers to take over this town, come on, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse."

Lloyd recognized the quote from the Godfather, but that wasn't what was on his mind. Lillian's eyes had closed, and Lloyd was suddenly feeling very willing...

NO! What she was proposing was wrong! Sure, joining with her could allow him to rule, he would be a God among men, and she, his Queen...

No, something was wrong with these thoughts, they weren't his!

"Get out of my head!" Lloyd yelled, grabbing her arms and throwing Lillian to the ground, causing her eyes to open."

"The answer is no, I'm not going to help you hurt others, Lillian."

"Wait, please, I never said you had to hurt anyone, besides, as my partner, you'll have your own side of the world to control, once we take over the world, that is." She begged, even she knew she couldn't take over the world alone.

Lloyd paused, thinking here, if what she was saying was true, he could be somebody! Finally he could consider himself...unique.

Lloyd Wolfrik didn't like the idea of being a pawn in Lillian's game but, if he did help her, he would truly leave a mark on history..

He looked down at the girl, staring deep into those caramel pools she called eyes, then, he sighed. "Deal." He said, offering a hand to help her up. "But don't think I'm going to help you hurt anyone." He warned as he helped her up. Lillian smirked, sure, someone with the powers of Illusions wasn't as useful as someone who could, say, lift a car with their mind, but it was a start.

"Good, from now on you will call me, Queen." She commanded, walking forward and tossing her hair over her shoulder.

"Yeah, and you can call me Mr. Tibbs." Lloyd thought snarkily.

"I heard that." Lillian called from over her shoulder. "I know!" Lloyd replied.

"Ugh, whatever, just meet me behind the school tomorrow, that's where we'll discuss the rest of my plan." She groaned, walking off into the sunset.


Saranus was amazed by her ability. Around them Phoenix by Fall Out Boy was playing even though Robbie's phone was in the other room.

"And you can do this anywhere?" He asked the Blonde haired Australian.

"Yeah, I just need to catch the sound from somewhere, that's why you can hear an echo from the song in the other room." She said, clearly not sure how her powers worked.

At that moment Robbie spoke up. "Ok, pass it to me Mace, I think I can hold the song." He said, holding his arms out.

She passed the song over to Robbie and, with nothing more than a simple skipped beat, the song continued.

Just an hour ago they had met Mace, and with a bit of explaining why she was stalking them, they had let her into her group, oh, and they had learned that Robbie didn't have the power to see the future, he could actually absorb powers!

This, of course, also wowed the African-American boy, it meant that Robbie could be the single most useful one of them.

Sarunas checked his phone, and noted that it was about five. Sighing, he turned to the other two. "We'll have to go look for more people with powers, hopefully I can- Sarunas was cut off when a vision suddenly rocked him.


It was night, a Japanese-American girl, dying from smoke inhalation from a burning diner suddenly absorbed the smoke into her body and poofed out of the flaming kitchen, and onto the street where she was slammed by a car and killed, and a young woman, flipping out, attempted to save her by staying by her side while dialing nine-one-one.

The last thing the girl saw was the diner's sign, a giant whale with the words Two-Whales Diner on it's front in neon letters.


Gasping, Sarunas caught his friends attention, well, only a soft glance from Mace, (he was convinced that she didn't like him for some reason), and a concerned look from Robbie. "Hey Sarunas, man, you all right?" He asked, patting his friend on the back, causing the music to cut off in this room.

"I'm fine, Robbie, Mace, we need to go, I just had another vision."

Robbie was confused. "Of what?"

"Another one of us."

No further questions were asked as they each hopped in Robbie's beat up car. Well, not Mace, who chose to hop in her bright pink convertible.

"We need to get to the Two-Whales Diner, do you know where that is?" Sarunas asked as he buckled in.

"Yeah, it's the only place worth eating at in this town, well, except that donut shop." He replied pulling out as Mace did the same.

And with that, they were off.


Caroline was pretty happy with herself, she was walking home with a little doggy bag from the Two-Whales Diner, filled with delicious breakfast foods, she would have to remember to save some for Rats, silly little cat loved the chicken selects they had, she just had to make sure they weren't deep fried or anything before she fed them to him.

As Caroline crossed the street, toward the forest the Two-Whales suddenly exploded.

She turned around and sucked in a breath! 'How could this happen?' She thought. 'I was just in there'

Before she could think on those Implications, a car suddenly crashed into her!

...

Or it should have. For some reason she passed right through it!

She looked around, and sucked in another breath when another car, this one pink, almost hit her! But once again she went right through it!

Caroline looked down at her hands for a moment, before looking up. "Am I a ghost?" She asked, squinting. "No, because I can still hold my food." She lifted the bag up to her face and squinted at it. "Or is my food a ghost too?"

Before this line of thinking could go further a voice called out to her. "Hey!" A boy ran up to her, he was black and he had toned muscles. "I need you to go in there!" He said, pointing at the Two-Whales. "What?! Why me?" Caroline demanded shocked. "You just passed through our cars! You can become intangible. With that power you can help get people out of there, none of us have powers that can do that." The boy demanded.

"Ohhhh, superheroes. That makes much more sense than ghosts." Caroline nodded to herself, before looking at him and giving a thumbs up. "You can count on me!" the auburn haired girl said, running past him.

"Just remember to hold your breath, smoke kills!" He shouted after her.

And in all the confusion no one noticed a young man blink away...

Caroline rushed inside, remembering to hold her breath like the nice gentlemen outside told her to.

She glanced around, and saw a young red haired woman on the ground, Caroline ran over and grabbed her, but then realized that she was intangible. 'Hmm how do I turn this off...?' She thought rubbing her chin.

Then she ducked down to the girl's side and spoke. "Excuse me, Miss, are you alive?" She asked, shaking the unconscious woman. "Uhh." She moaned, telling her that she was alive. "Cool.." Caroline squinted for a moment, then she looked at her hand. "Does..does this only work when I hold my breath?" She questioned aloud. "Who's the one who thought of that?!" She snapped looking to the sky, before coughing from the fact that smoke was in between the sky and her.

"Oh right *cough* Smoke." She sputtered, grabbing the redhead and sucking in a breath of whatever air she could. Then she ran out, taking the girl with her. She and the redhead stumbled outside.

She dropped the girl onto the ground, and breathed in deeply before running back in. Caroline glanced around for a moment, but found nothing in the actual diner area, so she continued forward to the kitchen where she found a girl who was desperately trying not to die.

Letting go off her breath she picked her up, and tried to suck in a breath...

Only to catch smoke in her lungs directly.

They fell over and the girl sputtered worse, clearly she needed air.

Caroline tried to go intangible again, but once more sucked in only smoke.

'Well, I tried, if anyone out there is a telepath, please remember to at least feed..my..cat . . .' Caroline thought, closing her eyes from the deprivation of oxygen.

But then, the smoke began to pool around them, and was sucked into the girl she was holding! Caroline was able to breathe once again! Snapping her eyes open and grabbing the girl tightly, she took a deep breath in the newly smoke-free room and leapt out the room and again out of the burning diner.

Outside, the redhead was gone, not that Caroline noticed. She was busy taking in the lights of the fire trucks.

No one noticed her get out of the building, and she rushed over to an ambulance and laid the girl with a paramedic, then she glanced around. "Wait a minute.. What'd I do with my food?!" She demanded, terrified that her food was missing.

She began to look for it, frantically entering and exiting the burning building, but it was to no avail.

Until, someone took pity upon her and dropped a bag into her lap. Literally.

And a voice called from beside her. "You're lucky that you saved me...and that I like my chicken fried." The redhead said, staring out from the shadows.

"Wait does that mean you ate my fries?" Caroline asked.

"Yes." The redhead yelled, running away.

"Noo!" Caroline shouted, dropping to her knees.


Author's Note: Well, this was a long time coming. But hey, at least you guys get quality! Anyway, what did you think of the new characters we met this chapter, what do you think of the interactions between our characters this time around? Let me know in the reviews, speaking of which...

Rougueification:Ah, what a great update! It was a great way to start the day... I love how you balanced the serious threat of Robbie and Saruna's visions with Shaun and Johnny's Avengers initiative gag. Also, you write the stoner student really well.

I'm not sure about getting all 15 characters to meet though... That could be tricky. Personally, I'd advise keeping the groups separate until the end.

Also, was that a little crush on Robbie I saw? Mace sounds interesting - already with a great mastery over her powers.

Andrea seems... Psychotic. I'm not sure about characters voicing their thoughts. But, you handled it really well.

Overall, I'm really excited to see where this goes! Update soon and keep up the great work!

R.

Me: Glad I could help you start the day right, Rougue. Yeah, it was fun to write, I had a lot of fun putting together the reference, and if you liked that, you'll like my other reference later in the story...

You would be right in saying that putting fifteen other characters together is difficult, I'll need to thin the heard a bit won't I...? Also as you can see I'm trying to keep the characters separate until the end.

A crush? No, Mace sleeps around, using boys as toys (heh, I rhymed). She's likely to drop Robbie when she gets bored.

Yeah, Andrea voicing her thoughts wasn't my best choice, but hey, it worked! And she's psychotic? You don't say?

{}

Iamgoku:Loved the updare, it's nice seeing new characters introduced, as well as Shaun gathering more allies.

Landon's powers are very cool, and I can see them coming in handy, can he teleport more than one person? or is it only himself?

Am also loving Johnny, when he said the line about driving around with Shaun, I just kept thinking of them all piling into the mystery machine with shaggy and scooby XD

Me: Glad to see you liked it.

I don't remember what his powers were exactly, but I'll have it that he can teleport 1-2 other people, if his creator wants to rectify that just let me know

As for the Mystery Machine thing I hadn't thought of when I wrote the scene, I just wanted to show how funny Johnny could be whether he's high or not.

So hard to choose usernames: Sorry for the late review, I meant to review earleir but I just kept forgetting.

Andrea seems pretty powerful already and she doesn't even have that much control yet I'm guessing. The heroes are going to have a tough time taking her down for sure and I am so looking forward to reading about their interactions with her later on. It's nice to see she has some compassion, for children and their parents at least.

Mace has an interesting power. I never quite thought of that as an actual ability before so I'm looking forward to seeing just how this ability works. It seems useful so far, I'm wondering if she might also be able to keep other people from hearing things by manipulating the sound waves, or to maybe even change peoples words.

Landon seems pretty cool, the donut thing at the end was pretty great. I have to say Shaun and Johnny are my new favourite duo. I really hope they're in the next chapter because they are tied for my favourite character.

I'm wondering who Robbie and Sarunas are going to find. A part of me is hoping they won't bump into Johnny and Shaun quickly so that there will be two, or maybe more, groups for a little bit. I wouldn't mind either way though because I can't wait to see just how all of the characters are going to interact.

Anyways, can't wait for the next chapter!

Me: It's fine brah, I can wait for reviews as long as you wait for my updates. :)

Andrea will figure out her powers eventually, though as we saw she is quite powerful with them, she's merely unskilled right now. As for the heroes beating her, it'll be difficult for sure, but with their mix of powers they can stop her if they try. Andrea shows some level of caring for children merely because of her own upbringing, which I'll share in a special flashback chapter dedicated to the Vampyre, the Drainer, the Liberator herself, Andrea.

Thanks, writing the donut part was fun and I hope to do more fun moments like that more, try to capture some of that Life is Strange charm every now and again. Sorry that they weren't in this chapter, there wasn't really a place to put them, but I'm wondering who is your favorite character?

Don't worry Robbie and Sarunas won't bump into Shaun and Johnny any time soon, I'm using plot convenience to keep them away from each other for as long as I can.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

TheDreamSketchCrew: Sorry for not reviewing this sooner! I'm currently getting my stuff together and listening to Riptide! Although, I don't mind Iamgoku's idea of us rolling around together in the mystery mobile.

Though if that does happen, I call scooby doo's role first! Gimme those scooby snacks!

After rereading this, it's probably going to be harder to keep a handle on people's perspectives. But, I'm going to believe that you can handle it. In my opinion, though, I feel the two groups should have more trouble recruiting members. Like, I imagine people totally being paranoid about other people with powers trying to recruit them. Also, I can imagine someone totally screaming as they see a girl with super strength lift a car either running away or pulling out their phone screaming.

Even with future vision, I doubt it'd be easy to keep up with someone that manipulates smoke or phases through walls.

Me: (In Velma's voice) How about two scooby snacks?

Hehe, anyway though your right, handling all these perspectives is a challenge, but one I'm working on conquering. As for the groups recruiting, we'll touch on that next chapter with Cathrine with a C. As for why no one's noticed yet,(earlier people would have noticed Lloyd's Illusions breaking, but we can chalk it up to Lillian using mind control shenanigans.) it's mainly due to luck, our characters haven't been exactly conservative with their powers...

Don't worry about Sarunas, he might not be as good a fighter as the other, but he won't be in many battles so it doesn't concern him.

Harukawa Ayame: Late review and it probably doesn't mean much, but here I go!

Whoa, Andrea is evil. That thought of hers just made me have these chills all over my body. But hey, at least she cares about children... Still doesn't justify her thought, but gotta love a good villain character.

Mace seems playful, and is probably someone with a lot of information. That power definitely fits her, and a lot useful for finding more people with power. Will she form her own group? I guess we'll see.

Landon sounds awesome. Also, that line from Johnny "Sir I'm going to have to ask you to get down from the donut" was the best line in this chapter. Love it. And for your question, Shaun; it's the person who spells it as donuts. Get it? Do-nuts? Alright, I'm outta here.

Anyways, nice to hear that you don't planning on abandoning this story, because it's awesome so far! It's alright, just write at your own pace for better quality writing! Oh, and lastly, Caroline would probably love chocolate doughnuts with sprinkles and jelly-filled doughnuts!

Me: It's totally fine to review late! Don't worry about it.

Glad you think she's bad, that's the whole intent of her character. Her care for children stems from some trauma she suffered as a child, but more on that during the special chapter. She does make a good Chaotic Evil doesn't she?

Mace isn't the type to make her own group in my opinion, she'll just latch on to the winning side, whether that side is good or evil remains to be seen.

Glad you think Landon is cool, and I'm doubly so that you liked my Iron Man 2 reference, definately my favorite part of both the film and that chapter. Hah! Best joke i've heard in a while, but I'm pretty sure Shaun hates you for it, lol.

Don't worry, I'll never abandon this story! I can feel the love of the fandom, fuelling me onward, keeping my fingers writing! And yes, taking it slow does help me to refine what I want done in the chapter, allowing for better quality. Huh, it's pretty neat that Caroline likes her donuts jelly-filled, I prefer mine slathered with chocolate.

Speaking of the donut thing, I would like to thank my adoring submitters for answering, you all get internet donuts! Except for you DreamSketch, you get a scooby snack ;p.

Anyway that's all this time so

Until Next Time True Readers!
