Heyo! Welcome to the second of two teasers for Push Beyond! I have been receiving a lot of character submissions, and I cannot WAIT to get started with writing the story proper! I'll leave a note down below with the numbers, because there are still slots open for the story! To all of you who have submitted characters, a massive thank you!


"Welcome to the New York University College of Heroics!" A blue-hued hologram of a young man with a military-style hair cut chirped excitedly, his plinth surrounded by a group of young people who stood next to their parents. "Here, you will begin your training towards being the heroes of tomorrow, alongside your classmates! We know, it can be a shock to be venturing so far from home, so I am here to guide you through the introductory process!"

A tall young man with ginger hair stood towards the edge of the small crowd, next to a woman in a wheelchair with stark white hair. As the hologram began talking about the history of the university, the woman wheels herself to face the boy. "You're sure you have everything?" she asks, watching as the boy rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.

"If I don't, I'll give ya a call." He says, with a broad smile on his face. "After all, it'd be my fault for forgetting it." The woman smiles, chuckling as well.

"This is true." She hums, before reaching up to rub his arm. "Focus on your studies, Callum, and make sure you keep on your game." He nods, smiling at her.

"I will, mom." He says, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "After all, how else will I live up to the great Silver Bolt, Anna Kilgrave?" He chuckles and sweeps his hair to the side, laughing fully before turning his head to the plinth as the hologram beckoned, before flickering and tearing apart. "Guess they're taking us to the dorms now." He says, leaning down for a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I'll call when I get everything set up, I promise. Love you, Mom." As they pulled away, Callum swore that he saw a tear rolling down his mother's cheek, but it was gone when he blinked, so he wasn't sure.

"Good lord, I'll miss having you around the house." She says, reaching up to ruffle his hair before he could straighten up fully. He pulls away quickly, moving a step back and adjusting the strap of his backpack so that it sat higher on his shoulder.

"And I'll miss you too, Mom." He grins, walking backwards away from her. "I'll see you at Christmas Break!" Laughing as she waved him off towards the dorm building, he took a few steps backwards before turning and running to catch up to the group of freshmen Hero College attendees.

His whole life lay ahead of him, and he was going to reach out and seize it with both hands. Because he was Callum Kilgrave. And being a hero…no, the number ONE hero, was his dream.
