What's up guys, it's me again with another installment of my biggest story so far. This chapter will be another time skip of just a month, so it takes place around Halloween.

As you all know, Lincoln's a big superhero fan. And with him being a mutant and having extraordinary gifts, with that said you already know what's coming next.

So now, let's do it to it.

Chapter 10: Superhero 101, Part 1

"The city of Angels, the place were people become stars and stars become legends. But like most cities, they become a haven of crime in all times of the day."

And true to that it is, no matter what time of the day, Los Angeles can be a very dangerous place. At night, you better watch your back. You never know who your gonna meet, let alone run into.

Above the streets, on the rooftops of the buildings, several figures are running and jumping, and watching over the city, unseen.

Then suddenly, alarms rang out from a nearby bank as two men and one women with guns ran out with bags full of cash and then hopped inside their van and drove as fast as they can. The gang of crooks were a notorious robbing team called 'The Face Cards', who were wanted in several states along the pacific coast.

Eventually, the police got the call and in no time, a chase was in pursue. Seeing that the law was involved, one of the men loaded a shot gun and started firing on the cop car, hitting one of the front tires, making the driver to loose control, causing it to turn over and cartwheel down the street.

The criminals were cheering as the only cop car chasing them was now wrecked upside down, with that, they were in the clear.

Or so they thought.

Throughout the Face Cards' run throughout the city, none of them noticed that a young African American boy with glasses was really at every of their daring drive.

From above they saw a small speck of light in the night sky, looks like nothing but an airplane. But then they noticed that the 'plane' was actually getting brighter and coming straight towards them, getting closer and closer by the second.

"What the hell is that?" the women asked getting worried.

With the light getting closer, the women jerked the wheel to the right to try to avoid it.

She looked in the rear view mirror and saw something hanging on to the side of the van. It had three something that looked like a large spike coming from the middle of it's foot made of bone and impaled it in the rear right tire, causing the van to loose control and land on it's side.

The three Face Cards then climbed out, only slightly injured in the crash. They looked around to see if anything else after them, they saw nothing.

With out a car, and with more police surely still after them, they saw a young man and women casually talking in a near by car.

Seeing that, they quickly grabbed the money and continued with their dashing escape.

The young man in the white sedan wasn't really paying any attention to anything happening outside. The next thing was he heard a knocking on his window, he looked up and saw a women pointing a gun at him, "Get out of the car!"

As the frightened young man was about to get out of the car, a strong wind picked up and was spinning in a circle around the three robbers and the man in the car and streaks of blue and orange spinning in the wind. Suddenly once the wind stopped, they saw a young boy with an orange bowl cut and two buck teeth wearing a blue body suit with raised collars, white shoes and a white lightning bolt on the front and blue goggles, "My, my, you city slickers are more rambunctious than a crow in a corn field."

"Get lost kid or do you want us to pump your guts full of led!" said one of the Face Cards.

"Well, I recon your gonna have to catch me first", the boy playfully said smirking at them.

Then all three Face Cards raised their guns and started firing at him, they all aimed straight at him, but all their bullets mysteriously missed him completely and the next thing they know, their all on their backs with their guns far away and the boy mysteriously disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing them just pushed down to the ground, they thought nothing of this. The Face Cards just laughed at this, "Is this all you can do? Knock us down like bowling pins and run away? What kind of Kid are you?", one of the men asked.

Then suddenly the wind picked up as a fog rolled in and the light posts started to flicker like crazy, "Very special kids", the three turned to their left to were the fog is coming from and they see three kids standing in the fog wearing different outfits.

The short redhead boy was wearing a blue jumpsuit with yellow briefs, boots, gloves, and belt with a red buckle with a shoulder harness connected to the belt and a yellow visor with red lenses.

The tall Filipino was wearing a black jumpsuit with a gold belt with a lightning pattern, golden shoulder covers, a black cape connected to both hands and a black headpiece with a gold eye mask.

And the light brown haired girl was wearing a green jumpsuit with yellow lightning bolts, yellow boots, yellow gloves, and a yellow mask shaped like a lightning bolt.

The three were just standing looking at them, with the three Face Cards just laughed at the sight.

"Look at lose stupid kids! What are they gonna do? Tell their mommies on us?", the three then pulled out their guns and pointed them at the kids.

Then the short red-haired boy then set the dial on the right side of his visor and pushed the button and a single red beam then blasted out onto one of the men and blew him down the road, smashing on top of a car.

The second man tried to fire a shot to the brown haired girl, but she turned into the form of electrical bolts that went into the nearby light pole and moved to the one next one and the next until she appeared behind him and she did a spin kick to his face shocking him and taking him down.

With the two men down, only the women is left as she tries to pull the trigger, the tall girl's eyes then turned all white as storm clouds start to form and circle as a massive lightning bolt then struck the women.

The three kids then walked up and looked down at the women who was still alive after being struck by the lightning bolt, smirking and laughing faintly.

"What's so funny?", asked the tall girl.

"You-you think you've won", the women said sounding weak, "But there's more of us."

The three kids then looked up and saw other gunmen around in nearby cars, buildings, rooftops and even on the streets, pointing their guns at them, "Look what we got here. Three freaks playing dress up, how much you think a ransom would be?"

"Don't know, but I know a lot", said another gunmen.

The three stood still while they saw something in the background of two people moving back and forth quickly.

"What are you looking at?" said one of the many gunmen.

"Guys", said another one gunmen on their walkies-talkies, "There's something coming up behind you guys", the men turned around to be quickly kicked in the face and hit by something that suddenly disappeared seconds later, they never saw anything coming.

The higher gunmen couldn't believe what they just saw, soon in a puff of black smoke appeared and they too were met with a mysterious figure who wacked them across their faces, and in another second, it as gone.

Some of the other gunmen were getting very aggravated, "Alright! You wanna fight?", then a gunmen saw the figure just standing casually near him, he saw it was an African american boy with glasses wearing a black mask and a red and black suit with shoulder pads and white gloves and boots. "Your dead, kid!", the gunmen shouted as he pointed the gun at the boy.

Then suddenly, the was quickly met with a pipe hitting him hard in the gut making him fall to the floor, "Chill out, homeboy", said an unseen voice.

The others quickly noticed that the pipe that hit him was just floating in mid air, then suddenly, a girl with brown hair, wearing a blue jumpsuit and mask appeared holding the pipe.

"Reach for the sky!" shouted another one of the gunmen, as they two simply responded as they raised their hands.

"Well, since you asked me", the gunmen then heard a British voice from behind them as they saw another girl with black hair and a purple streak wearing a black mask, purple and black jumpsuit started to float up behind them.

Then all the gunmen were thrown out of the building.

The face cards saw this as they were now out numbered. But they still weren't gonna go down easily. With their remaining guns they started opening fire on the group of heroes, but then, three more figures jumped in front of them, as they were hit, but quickly got back up as the bullets simply fell out of their healing wounds.

Then the three figures grew claws coming through their fists, as they quickly approached the face cards.

Seeing this, the Face Cards started to run away, but their path was quickly blocked by a sudden wall of fire as a boy with orange hair and freckles wearing a red and yellow suit came through the fire, "What's wrong?" asked the boy, "Can't take the heat?", the boy then smirked an then threw balls of fire towards them, exploding around them, making them run.

Then they slipped on a large sheet of ice on the ground, as they were met buy a teenage blond girl with a blue streak in her hair wearing a blue and black jumpsuit, "Cool down", the girl said as she blasted them with snow, throwing them down the block, landing in a dumpster.

The three crawled out of the dumpster, still shaken about what they just went through. They came out of the alley to see that the cost is clear, they soon ran way as they saw an unloading van nearby.

While running, they noticed some cat-like creature running on all fours and then tackling the women. She saw it was a Latino girl with black hair at cat-like yellow eyes.

The remaining two men didn't stop to get her as they knew they couldn't fight the young freak girl.

Soon, one of the men was cough by a boy with skin made of metal, and was thrown against a car, knocking him unconscious.

The remaining Face Card was able to steal the van and quickly speed off with all the money. After a few minutes, they thought he was in the clear. Then suddenly, he felt the van start to float in mid air. He looked down from the windshield to see the van was floating, with a little girl with glasses, brown hair in a green jumpsuit and yellow belt and gloves had her arm raised, as if she was lifting the van.

"Don't you know the type of penalties law enforcement officials will put against you and your acquaintances?" asked the girl, "Well, let the Wolverine have mercy on your physical state", she then raised her other arm from behind up as the last Face Card heard a rage filled yell in the distance getting louder and louder until he saw a figure of a boy wearing a yellow suit and a mask with large black pointed ears with a chipped buck tooth came souring through him with both his claws pointed straight at him.

They boy came crashing through the windshield, tackling the robber down, as the robber quickly punched the boy across the face and pointed his gun at him, but the boy used his claws to slice the gun out of his hand as the robber then stabbed the boy in the chest with a hidden knife in the robber's pocket.

He pulled out the knife and saw the boy still standing as he didn't appear to be affected by the stab wound. The boy grabbed the robber by his shirt as he raised his fist to the robber's face as his claws retracted, "Show's over, bub", the boy then punched the robber in the face, knocking him out cold.

With all the Face Cards along with their additional men now off to prison, the news immediately came to the report on the new group of vigilantes who stop a robbery and attack.

"This is Gill O'Mally on CBS news with this incredible story of this new group of heroes who have finally caught the notorious Face Cards. Tell us, what was your motive to help stop such a dangerous group?", the reported asked Lincoln and his group of friends.

"It's just in the line of duty sir", Lincoln responded with pride.

"Well, there you have it. A day saved by Mr. Howlett", Lincoln heard the reporter call him by his new last name, as he didn't understand why he was saying it, "Howlett? Howlett?"

"Howlett!", Lincoln suddenly woke up in his first period English class with most of his class laughing at him with his teacher with an annoyed look on his face looking at him.

"Ye-yes, Mr. Kinnear", Lincoln replied still sleepy.

"You were asleep again in class", Mr. Kinnear said sternfully, "Care to explain?"

"Sorry, sir. I have sleeping problems."

"Ha!", Steak laughed in the back of the class, "Undies is nocturnal. He really lives up to his nickname, 'The Wolverine'".

"Stankco! No mocking students", Mr. Kinnear said, "You just earned yourself another day of detention."

"Pssh, stupid 'Yeti'" Steak said quietly to himself.

"What was that?", Mr. Kinnear asked Steak.

"Uh, n-nothing sir", Steak smiled.

Mr. Kinnear just squinted his eyes at Steak in suspicion, but still proceeded with his lesson.

Lincoln and Clyde were both at their lockers as Clyde saw more bags and dark circles around Lincoln's eyes, "Another night with no sleep, huh?"

Lincoln nodded his head slowly.

"What was the nightmare last night?", Clyde asked.

Lincoln sighed, "It was the time at the House of Terror. I got so scared, I stabbed you and then I couldn't stop."

Clyde put his hand on Lincoln's shoulder, "Come on Lincoln. I know you, you would never hurt me like that, or anyone else. Your not a cold blooded killer. If anything your still like Ace Savvy, only do what's right. Well, not counting the convention."

"Yeah, I know buddy", Lincoln said, "I guess those motivation things with Dr. Lopez really do help."

"Oh yeah, she's worth every penny."

Then both mutant boys headed to class, but after that little talk with Clyde about comparing him to Ace Savvy and the dream he had in class, Lincoln started to think of something.

In Great Lakes City, Bobby just arrived at Fairway University to visit Lori during her break between classes. He's been a constant visitor ever since she arrived.

He knocked on Lori's dorm room, and saw her open it, "Hi Bob-boo Bear", despite seeing her boyfriend, she greeted him in a very melancholy tone.

"Hey babe", Bobby returned the greeting with another sad tone as they both hugged each other as they headed out.

Soon they were walking in the city, eating slices of pizza they got along the way. Lori and Bobby always imagined when Lori came to the city they would have the greatest time together, unfortunately that wasn't the case. With their younger siblings being wanted mutant fugitives, how could they enjoy it.

"So, how's everyone holding up?", Lori asked.

Bobby just looked down and sighed, "We're trying, but it's not good. Every time people come into the mercado, they all talk about it being the place of a mutant attack. And they all called Ronnie Anne a monster."

"Do they know it's Ronnie Anne?"

"No, we made sure no one knew. They all just think it was some kid in the mercado", Bobby paused and sighed, "I miss her."

Lori then put her hand on her boyfriend's back, "I know Boo-boo Bear. At least your not the only one whose lost someone, I lost five."

"Yeah", Bobby said, "And who would a thought that our younger siblings would be mutants. With claws."

Lori let out a small chuckle, "Yeah, with claws".

Things were pretty hard for both of them.

Sometime later, Sid's younger sister Adelaide was heading home along with Ronnie Anne's younger cousin, Carl. Adelaide had a bit of a secret crush on the young Casagrande boy.

"Hey Carl, wait up!", Adelaide called out to Carl as she followed him home.

Carl on the other hand, didn't really seem to noticed Adelaide's crush on him, so him simply shrugged it off and let her join him on their way home.

Soon, then hopped on the subway heading home after another day of school. But while they looked fine, that wasn't the case on the inside for both of them. They both thought about their missing mutant family members. Adelaide was noticeably a bit upset, while Carl tried to look relaxed, but still had signs of sadness on his face.

As they got off the subway, they were turning the corner to their building, when out of the corner of Adelaide's eye, she saw a black cat just staring at her. "Aww, here kitty, kitty", Adelaide called out to the cat, thinking of it as a cute harmless ally cat.

This caught Carl's attention, as he turned around to see Adelaide trying to pet the cat, "NO! DON'T!", he shouted as he quickly pulled Adelaide's arm towards him.

"Hey! What's the big idea?", Adelaide asked annoyed.

Soon they heard more meows getting closer and closer as more and more black cats were quickly approaching them. "It's the gang of cats!", Carl said getting worried. Both of them saw the group of cats getting closer before either of them could get inside the building, "RUN AWAY!"

Carl and Adelaide then started running away from the cats, but it didn't take much time after that for the cats to join in the chase.

Both kids were running as fast as they could, trying to outrun the cats. Unfortunately, Carl couldn't really keep up, Adelaide had to grab him by his arm so he could keep up.

They both ran away as Carl looked back, "Their gaining on us!"

Adelaide got more worried, they needed an escape fast, in a split second, they manage to run faster and ran into another block and saw Vito Filliponio walking out of a pizzeria and she got an idea, "Hold the door please!", she shouted but Vito didn't hear her as he let the door close as the two kids were coming in fast.

They both closed their eyes and hoped for the best.

Next thing they know, they were both in the pizzeria and the cats chasing them were still on the prow but simply cased after Vito instead as they couldn't get inside, they were safe. But when they saw the few people inside the pizzeria, they all had looks of shock on their faces, "What are they all staring at?" asked Carl.

Neither one of them knew that when they came inside, they didn't use the door.

Later that day back in California, back at the house, Lincoln was standing alone on his bedroom's private balcony overlooking the backyard and the city from afar watching the sunset. Still thinking to himself, he and his friends and family have gifts most people would dream to have. And he's got to keep his a secret.

But that's not what he wants to do. With these gifts, he was thinking of something bigger.

He then smelled someone behind him, "If your gonna sneak attack me, it's not gonna work Ronnie Anne."

"Dang it!" Ronnie Anne playfully shouted as it was her, she then stood right next to Lincoln, "It's hard to scare you when you can smell other mutants. Chinese food's here", she then noticed that Lincoln didn't really budge and was deep in thought, "You okay?"

"Yeah, just thinking."

"About what?"

"Just,... you know i'm a superhero guy?"

"To the extent that you stole a cat to be a small extra in a crappy movie?", Ronnie Anne said smirking.

"Yes", Lincoln responded rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"Yeah that's a hundred and seven minutes i'll never get back."

"Yeah. So really, all the time I keep reading about Ace Savvy, using his powers to do great things."

Ronnie Anne then started to get what Lincoln was talking about, "You serious?"

Lincoln nodded, "I wanna use my gift to help people. I wanna be a real hero."

With that said, Ronnie Anne then thought back to what Ernesto Estrella predicted for her on the day her mutation kicked in, about how her powers will protect the ones she cared about. While she's pretty tough, she really dose care for her friends, and she too liked the idea, "I'm in."

"Wait? Really?", Lincoln was surprised that Ronnie Anne wanted in on his idea.

"Yup, i'm not gonna let you leave me sitting on the sides while you go and play hero. I got gifts too lame-o, and their like yours. If you can be one, so can I."

Lincoln smiled, "I can't really argue with you, your in", but even with Lincoln having a partner, he got another idea, "You know, why just leave the fun for the two of us when we have friends whose gifted too?"

Ronnie Anne smirked, "I smell what your stepping in."

Lincoln smirked back at her, "Eww."

Soon, Lincoln was in the backyard with his friends eating their Chinese food. There, Lincoln shared his plan to his friends.

"You want us to form a team of heroes?", Clyde asked excitedly.

"Yup. We have gifts that could really make a difference. So, why not use them to help people."

"I thought we were suppose to lay low?" asked Tabby.

"We are. But why should we have to hide our powers when we can do some much more with them? Use them to better mankind, or at least protect people from the dangers of this city?"

"Lincoln, I get what your saying but we're just kids", said Stella.

"Yeah, kids. Kid's who can do so much more than any other kid", Lincoln said with pride, "If anything, we could show that mutants aren't dangerous. Maybe we can even be accepted for who we are."

Everyone stood quiet, until someone broke the silence, "I like it!" said Zach, "Think of what people would give us. We could get fame, money..."

"Don't forget the bitches", Rusty added.

"Guys, this is serious. We're doing this for good, not for fame and not for bitches."

"So what are we getting for this?", asked Rusty.

"Nothing", Ronnie Anne replied, "Lincoln really want's to do this. It means a lot to him if we all use our powers to help too."

"So, what do you guys say?", asked Lincoln.

After another moment of silent thinking, everyone thought about how much they had to hie their powers and not do much about 'em, and to just once do something great with them.

"Mutants stick together. No matter what", Sid said passionately, "I'm in."

Then, one after another, everyone was onboard.

Clyde was one of the most excited of the bunch, "Guys, can't you feel it. Our origin story begins. We're gonna be superheroes!"

Soon after, they started designing their own super suits, but none of them really liked most of the designs. Lincoln then thought back to the dream he had back in class and then quickly got to work with the drawings. Once he finished, he showed them to his friends and they liked em. Soon, they each got to work making their outfits. Lincoln and Clyde's experience with making the Full Deck's outfits for the Ace Savvy Convention along with Lincoln using Leni's talent of designing helped make things go smoothly, despite the part were Zach accidentally sewed his fingers to his outfit and passed out at the sight.

Later that night, all the kids had their completed outfits identical to the one's in Lincoln's dream in class, except for Zach, for the visor look, he bacically made a paper mache cover over his glasses to look like visors.

"Woo-hoo!" cheered Clyde.

"I love it!", said Sid.

"Not bad", said Tabby.

"This is awesome!" said Rusty

"Anyone else's suit ridding up on them?", Zach asked.

"You guys look great!" Lincoln said with pride with him and Ronnie Anne wearing their Lucha Libre costumes, "Now we're can start our roles as the new defenders of all the innocent people of this city."

Then there was knocking on his door, "Lincoln. You in there?"

Lincoln knew that it was his older sister Lynn, at the door, "J-just a second!"

Everyone didn't know what to do, then Lincoln got an idea.

Seconds later, Lynn opened the door, "Hey Lincoln, I'm...", Lynn then saw the nine kids sitting on the floor wearing robes, "What's going on here?"

"Sleepover", said Tabby.

"Meditation session", said Clyde.

"Ninjutsu training", said Rusty.

"Something we saw in a movie", said Sid.

Lynn was confused, "What?"

"Uh, we're doing a scene we saw in a ninja movie, training with a mediation sleepover thing", Lincoln lied and they all nervously smiled.

Lynn smiled, "Really? So what are you stinkoln? The Great White Ninja?"

Lincoln groaned in annoyance, "Again, I'm not fat! I'm just gonna take that as a complement because Chris Farley's awesome."

"Well if you dweebs wanna really get into ninja stuff, you know were to find me. Me, Margo and Francisco are heading to a wrestling match, so you guys gotta watch Lana."

"What?", Lincoln asked, "Why?"

"Cuz, Luna and Sam took Lisa to some TED talk thing while they went to see a movie and Carol's on a date with Wade, so your the lucky winner."

Lincoln sighed, "Alright."

Lynn turned around but noticed something with Zach's sunglasses, "What's that on your glasses?"

Zach screamed internally as he forgot to take the paper mache parts around his glasses, "Oh, uh, it's just something i'm trying to make sure these don't come off."

With this was a bit suspicious, Lynn just merely shurged it off, "Eh, whatever floats your boat weirdo", Lynn then walked out.

With that, they all let out a sigh of relief, "That was close", Lincoln said.

They all stood back up and removed their robes reveling them still wearing their super suits underneath, "We look good" said Sid.

"Yeah, we do", Ronnie Anne replied.

"Okay guys", Lincoln spoke up, "We gotta be really careful when wearing these. If anyone finds out about this superhero thing, they could know we're mutants."

"Not so careful enough", they all heard a voice from the door behind them.

"Dang it", they all said. They turned around to see that it was Lana who opened the door.

"Hey Lans", Lincoln said nervously, "So, how much of that did you hear?"

"Just everything."

Lincoln and his friends then got worried, "Your not gonna tell anyone about this are ya?", asked Ronnie Anne.

Lana thought about it for a moment, "I'll keep quiet about it", the pre-teen group all let out sighs of relief, "On one condition."

The kids then let out annoyed groans, "What do you want, Money?", asked Zach.

"No. I don't want your money."

"Then what do you want?", asked Ronnie Anne.

"You guys wanna use your powers to be heroes, then bring me along."

They were caught off guard, "Wait, what? You wanna come with us?", asked Lincoln.

"Yeah. You guys get use your powers, and i'm achein' to use my claws for something other than training. Come on, please?", she asked with her adorable puppy dog eyes.

Lincoln tried to be strong but the look in his little sister's eyes was too strong, "Aw, I can't say no to that face."

"So, i'm in?"

"Yeah, your in."

"Yes!"

Alright, things just became a bit more interesting and things are really gonna get fun. Our lucky nine are gonna become superheroes! Or at least try to be.

If any of you are familiar with the comics and the classic X-Men animated series, then you know that everyone in Lincoln's dream sequence was either wearing the classic outfits of mutants from the comics or the animated series with the acceptation of some of their costumes in their signature colors, like Tabby and Sam's costume.
