It's been a couple of days now since Bayley moved into her new apartment and things were really starting to shape up. Using the card that her mystery relative gave her, she decided to use it to buy something's to add her own personal touch to liven up the place, things such as posters, colorful pillows, stuffed animals and the bean bag chair that she was currently sitting on as she ate her cereal. Adjusting to her new life was going pretty smoothly so far, although it was a little weird being all by herself. Being so used to the foster care system, no matter how many times she moved, she usually had about two to five people living under the same roof as her. Now there was no one but her, she could stay up as long as she wanted, eat whenever, and most importantly not have to wait for the bathroom.

Kicking her feet onto the coffee table Bayley had a smirk on her face, yes, she could definitely get used to this. Finally, being all alone with nobody to bother her. However, that smirked slowly started to fade and almost turned into a frown.

"Alone huh" Bayley sighed.

Although it was quite convenient to have a place of her own, it was also pretty lonely. If there was one thing she missed about her foster homes it was the people there. Sure, she was never in one place long enough to make any real friends, but at the same time she met some really great people. Not to mention some of them had truly amazing powers that were very unique. People who, if given a little more time could have turned into some great friends she was sure. To finally have a group of people she could trust wholeheartedly and experience everything life has to offer for them together. Yes, that was all Bayley really wanted.

Quickly shaking her head Bayley jumped up from her bean bag chair and clenched her fist "What am I thinking, now that I finally have a permanent home. I can finally find friends that I won't have to say goodbye to in a couple months".

Then making her way over to her kitchen Bayley put her bowl in the sink and grabbed her backpack that was resting on a chair. After making sure everything was turned off Bayley made her way out of her apartment and locked the door behind her. After having a couple days to get settled in it was finally time for Bayley to have her first day at her new school. Since it was a small town there was only one high school, Whisper Wind High. She had passed by it a couple times while exploring her new town. It seemed as if it was the largest building in town, which was a little surprising to Bayley. How many students can a town of this size actually have.

Bayley continued to make her way to her bus stop and before she knew it, she was staring down a big yellow bus flashing its lights. As the bus drew closer Bayley noticed no one else was waiting with her and figured she was the sole person for this stop. Once the bus came to a complete stopped and opened up its doors Bayley made her way up on the bus and smiled at the driver. Once she turned and faced the seats of the bus, she immediately notices two things.

One, the bus was damn near packed and two, everyone was staring at her "Man, I guess I really stick out like a sore thumb as the new kid".

Feelings of anxiety flooded into her chest and judging by the burning feeling on her face, she could tell she was probably red as a tomato right now. Quickly looking around Bayley saw that one of the two front seats of the bus was still open. Mentally thanking any god that would listen for preventing her from walking down the bus isle of stares, she quickly sat down and rested her bag on top of her thighs.

Once seated Bayley let out a huge sigh of relief "Ok, calm down, we can't keep getting all nervous or else everyone's going to think you're some kind of weirdo".

As Bayley mentally scolded herself, the bus door closed and slowly started to pull off. In that moment Bayley could see bursts of orange speed by out of the corner of her eye, and then the bus stopped on a dime causing everyone on it to jerk forward.

Then the bus doors opened again and a girl with ginger hair entered "Whew, just made it again, I'm getting pretty good at this wouldn't you say Cole".

The girl who just caused the bus to stop was practically giddy, although the bus driver wasn't so enthusiastic about the situation "Damn it Becky you can't keep jumping in front of the bus every time you're about to miss it. Now take a seat".

Then the girl named Becky playfully punched the bus drivers arm twice "I can't take the seat its bolted down mate".

As Becky laughed at her own bad joke the driver just gave her a cold look as she turned around to sit down. When she went to go to her usually seat she was surprised to see someone had already occupied it "Well, you're a new face, would you mind if a I sit me lass down next to you".

Unable to form any words Bayley just nodded her head. Becky took her seat next to Bayley and proceed to hum to herself. As she did this Bayley examined the girl, she certainly seemed nice enough, but as far as first impressions go, she's definitely a tad careless and a little sarcastic but that wasn't a bad thing. In fact, that might just make her even more interesting to be around. Plus, it also appeared they live in the same building so that means they could hang out all the time. Yes, she was perfect, the perfect person for Bayley to try and befriend first. This was it Bayley was going to show confidence and initiative and ask this girl her name.

But before she could get a word out Becky beat her to it "So tell me love, what's your name".

Bayley gulped, she's was never good with meeting new people, it took her almost half the drive with Allen before she had built up the courage to talk to him. This was different for Bayley, now she was on the spot and a potential friendship was on the line "Oh me… well... You see… I'm… uh… a Gemini".

Bayley freaked out under pressure and blurted out the first thing that came to her head, while Becky just stared at her. Bayley couldn't believe she couldn't answer such a simple question gosh, it was just like ever new foster home she's ever been to. Why did she always have to be so nervous.

"I hate myself" Bayley said mentality.

Bayley had thought this was going to be one of the longest bus rides ever until Becky started to laugh "Well, I guess that one question out of the way huh but I was going for your name lassy".

Bayley attempted to compose herself "Oh right. I'm Bayley. Sorry I can be a little… awkward".

Without missing a beat Becky answered, "I'll say, your worse then virgin on prom night".

Bayley could her face flush up again and looked away until she felt Becky's arm wrap around her shoulders "Don't you worry love, I can already tell I'm going to like you. The names Becky Lynch, if you ever need anything, just crack open a beer and I'll be there in a flash".

Bayley smiled, glad to see that Becky was even nicer than she anticipated "Umm, aren't we a little young to drink".

Becky chuckled at this and rub Bayleys head "Oh sweet innocent Bayley, it appears I am very much needed in your life".

Taking her arm back Becky continued to question Bayley "So your the new girl aye. Tell me what do I think so far. Have you met any scary mutants yet".

Their that word was again, Allen did say that word was very common "Oh, it seems pretty nice, and no I haven't. Why do you have any powers".

Becky quickly looked around to make sure no one was listening other than Bayley "Unfortunately, no I don't but I have a friend that's a mutant" double checking her surroundings Becky began to whisper "Between you and me if you ever meet anyone with powers id keep it to yourself. The kids in this school aren't very kind to mutants".

"So the hate for people with powers in this town has been passed down to the younger generation, huh" Bayley thought to herself.

After that Bayley and Becky just chatted and got to know each other a little bit better. It was a huge relief she able to find somebody that she could talk to right off the bat. The bus ride to the school was peaceful as any other. Some student talking amongst themselves, other rushing to finish the homework they neglected and the occasional scolding from the bus driver telling some kid to keep his head out the window. The bus was making its finale turns when all of a sudden there was a huge explosion in the next block over from the bus. The bus came to a screeching halt and every student was trying to look out their window to see what all the commotion was.

However, it became very apparent to Becky what was happening "Oh shit! It's the Ascension".

"The who?" Bayley, who was a little shaken up at what was happening was confused

Becky grabbed Bayley and lowered them down to avoid being hit by any debris "They're a pair of villainous bastards who have been terrorizing our town for some time now. Their real names are Konnor and Viktor, they're nothing but small time troublemakers who are trying to make a name for themselves".

The two continued to wreak havoc, destroying everything in their path. From what Bayley could gather the man who Becky described as Viktor seems as if his powers was the ability to cause an explosion just by touching and the other one, Konnor would wither away or disintegrate anything he could get a good hold on. Just the sheer power that two men had been enough to send shivers down Bayley spine, but it wasn't until the man Konnor looked at the bus with evil intent that made her go pale.

Konnor looker at his smaller teammate Viktor, who gave him an approving nod, once getting the good to go Konnor made a beeline straight for the school bus. The pleading screams from the bus could be heard for miles and only intensified as the kids saw Konnor take a massive leap.

"NOW DIE!" Konnor roared as he slammed both his fist into the ground, causing the bus went flying at near 50 feet into the air. For Bayley everything was blurred, time had seemed to slow down completely.

"Is this it" Bayley thought "Not even a week into what was supposed to be a new life, the new life where I was supposed to finally settle down make friends I would have forever and never have to move again. Is this really how I'm going to die".

After what seemed like ages in the air the bus finally began to descend and came hurtling to the ground. Waiting for what she had thought to be her dying crash Bayley closed her eyes and braced for impact. Just as the bus was going to make contact with the road something happened.

"Now Breezy!" And the deep voice could be heard.

Bayley then opened her eyes and instead of a crash it felt as if they had been caught by something but what? What could possibly be strong enough or big enough for that matter to catch a flying school bus.

It wasn't until she heard someone from the back of the yell that she got her answer "Look it's the Fashion Police".

Cheers were now coming from inside the bus as it was lowered back down on the street. The two heroines could now be seen in front of the vehicle facing off against the Ascension "I gotta say Dango good call on the spare boxer briefs".

Fandango tipped his hat as he boasted "They're my Calvin Kleins, strong, durable, and above all fashionable".

As the students were getting over there near death experience, Becky saw that Bayley still had that confused look on her face "That's right, you probably don't know any of the mutants in this town, huh. Well the two guys that just saved us were Tyler Breeze and Fandango, aka The Fashion Police. They've been best friends since they were kids and somehow their powers became compatible to one another making them a formidable team".

Bayley looked in awe at her saviors, Fandango used his hand to gather a bunch of clothes from a store that got scattered during the Ascension rampage. It was almost as if Fandango hand was a magnet that cloths we're attracted to. Once they had a good amount of clothing Tyler Breeze shoot some kind of substance from his mouth and sprayed half the clothes.

Bayley looks on absolutely amazed, but was still lost until Becky further explained what was happening "You see the power that Tyler and Fandango have isn't so much as being able to control cloths, rather they're able to manipulate the fabric and material that is used to make clothes. They're able to make clothes bigger, smaller or stronger by manipulating the thread count in them. They both can do this independently, but when they work as a team they can make the clothing as big as they want. However, they do have own ability unique only to them. As you saw Fandango can have clothes gravitate towards him almost like a magnet, something Tyler can't do. At the same time Tylers able to spew starch from mouth to make clothes hard as steel, something Fandango's unable to do".

After having things explained, Bayley now understood what happened, as the bus was falling Fandango and Tyler use a pair of boxers witch they made big and strong enough to catch the bus like a net. It was truly amazing to Bayley how they were able to manage that in such a short amount of time.

Back on the battleground Fandango was trying to reason with the Ascension "Guys do we really have to go through this every week. Can't you just save us the trouble and turn yourselves in".

Both men just laughed as Viktor just stood tall and puffed his chest out "Why would we do that, look around you, look at the carnage, why would we stop when we're succeeding in our goal to run this town."

Fandango just sighed and pitched the bridge of his nose "Some people never learn, Breezy if you would".

"Right" Tyler said as he pulled out a notepad and flipped through it "Konnor and Viktor due to the crimes of vandalism, trespassing, attempting to destroy a bus full of students, but worse of all, first degree crimes against fashion, I sentence the two of you to a ass kicking by the Fashion Police".

After that the Ascension sprinted right for Tyler and Fandango "Then come on, stop talking about it and do it".

Seeing as there was no other choice Fandango looked at Tyler, who nodded, knowing exactly what he was thinking. Tyler grabbed a T-shirt that he had sprayed with starch and straighten out to make blunt object similar to a bat. Tyler then began to run right for Viktor, just as Viktor pulled back his fist to land a strike, he felt something wrap around his legs, he looked down and saw that Fandango used his power to wrap a pair of jeans around his ankles. Just as Viktor was beginning to fall, Tyler took a baseball slide to get under Viktor and once he was, he swung his weapon right into his midsection, sending him flying. Now successfully separating the two, Tyler and Fandango proceed to finish off their opponents one on one.

While Tyler went on to take care of Viktor, Fandango held back to fight off Konnor. With a grin on his face Konnor pounded his two hands together to try and intimidate Fandango who continued to stand tall. If he was going to win this fight, he was going to need to keep his distance and use his long range fighting ability. Lucky for him, he already had a plan in mind.

Konnor grew tired of waiting and went straight for Fandango, who began to backtrack to keep distance. Konnor was a reckless and stuck everything in his path in pursuit of Fandango. As he was being chased Fandango use his power to fling all the clothing he had at Konnor.

However Konnor effectively dodged them and the one he didn't he just swatted away "Ha without your buddy here to harden the clothing, your powers are useless against me".

He was right without Breeze, trying to hurt Konnor like this was pointless, however, that wasn't what Fandango was going for. Continuing this same method went on for a little while longer, but soon Fandango slipped up and tripped on a piece of debris from the distraction. Taking advantage of the brief moment of hesitation, Konnor was able to get a direct hit on Fandango causing an explosion and sending him hurtling into a building. He hung onto the wall for a moment until he fell face first onto the ground.

Konnor laughed as he admired his work "Can't you see Dango, without Tyler around to help you, you don't have a chance against me".

Fandango slowly was able to get to one knee, he wiped some blood away from his mouth and was sporting a smirk, much to Konnor's displeased "It amazes me how stupid you are. Even after all the times we fought, you stay the same. You truly are hopeless, your all bronze and no brains".

Konnor raised an eyebrow as fandango began to raise his arm with an open palm. Then he began to look around and that's when it hit him, all this time Fandango wasn't missing when he was throwing clothes at Konnor, he was surrounding him with them. As Fandango arm raise, the cloths around Konnor levitated, he tried to escape, but it was too late because once Fandango clenched his fist all the clothing latched and wrapped around Konnor and rendered him immobile.

Fandango got up clenching his ribs as he walked towards Konnor "And that starch that Breezy sprayed the cloths with earlier should be hardening right about… now".

On que, the clothing harden and Konnor was in a cocoon of clothes and was trapped and done for. Fandango then turned his attention back in the direction his friend went "Now to go help Breezy".

Over at the other fight, Tyler found himself on the defensive as he tried his best to block Viktors quick strikes with his makeshift weapon. Every punch was sending Tyler backwards until his back was up against a street light. Seeing a punch from Vicktor coming Tyler ducked his head and let the punch dent the street light rather than his face. Once he made contact Viktor smiled at Breeze and used his power of disintegration on the Streetlight and watch as it crumble away. Before that Tyler had used that as an opportunity to use his shoulder to body check Viktor and send him to the cold concrete.

Standing over him Tyler pointed his weapon at Viktors face, "It's over".

Then out of nowhere Tylers left shoulder gave out, he could the shooting pain all the way from the end of his shoulder blade to the tips of his fingers. He tried to power through it, but the pain was too great and he dropped his weapon. He looked at shoulder and noticed he was severely cut "But how, you never touched me".

Before he got his answer Viktor undercut Tyler's legs and now stood over him as he buried his foot into Tyler's injured shoulder and laughed as he winced in pain, "You see Tyler I've improved upon my gift since the last time we fought. Your right, I never did make direct contact with your shoulder. But I didn't need to. You took care of that part for me."

Tyler thought back to what he could mean and that's when it hit him "The street light, my shoulder was touching it when you disintegrated it and my shoulder took second hand damage".

Viktor was pressing even harder now on Tyler shoulder, causing to scream in agony "Look at that you figured it out. Don't worry your shoulder will heal just fine. However, you won't be getting that opportunity. Any last words".

Viktor looked down as he prepared to turn Tyler into dust "Yeah I do actually. You really should iron your clothes".

Viktor growled at this response and when he reached back to deliver the finishing blow, Tyler saw his opening and spewed his starch from his mouth right into Viktor eyes. Viktor stumbled back in pain. As Tyler took a moment to gather himself.

Then from a distance Tyler could hear his partner "Breezy now".

Realizing what was happening Tyler moved quickly. He ran up to the blinded Viktor and superkicked him into the air. Then Fandango and Tyler leaped into the air and using the same boxer briefs that they used to catch the bus, extended it to wrap up Viktor like a burrito. Once back on the ground Tyler sprayed a coat of starch on Viktor to make sure he wouldn't escape. Now with both men incapacitated, the two teammates took Viktor back to his partner in crime Konnor, Fandango wrapped them up together with some of the leftover cloths they didn't use.

Fandango look over at Tyler and gave him a fist bump "Another job well done Breezy. We better get out of here before the police come, besides, we should get that shoulder looked at".

Tyler nodded and with that, the two hero's vanished, leaving behind two criminals and an amazed Bayley. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed, not a battle between two mutants but four! It was the first time she had seen anything like it. Usually whenever a battle between mutants happened, Bayley was forced to leave the area. It was everything she could have asked for and more.

However, once things started to calm down Bayley heard some of the rumblings coming from behind the bus "We wouldn't need to be save if there wasn't any mutants in the first place".

Then another student voiced their displeasure "Seriously, why can't they just fuck off already".

And another "If only they had all killed each other just then, that would actually make a difference".

Bayley was completely shocked at the way the some of her new classmates were acting "Becky what's their problem? Did they forget it was those guys that just saved us? How come they went from cheering for them one minute and hating on them the next?".

All Becky could do was sigh, "It's like I told you earlier, there's a fair amount of kids who hate Mutants and will bring them down any chance they get. No matter what they do or how many lives they save, the people in this town are stubborn and I doubt mutants will ever be fully accepted in this town unfortunately".

It wasn't until that right then, moments after her first near death experience and listening to Becky did Bayley realizes how much worse this situation was. People don't just hate these superpowered people, they want them dead. Then she thought back to that promise she made to herself, how was she supposed to erase that hate that stained this town, even if the people didn't want to change. One thing was for sure, she had her work cut out for her, but she wasn't going to quit before she even had a chance to get started.

Just then the bus driver got up and faced the students "Alright guys looks like the fight over, you better gather yourself and calm down cause will be at the school soon".

For the second time in a short amount of time Bayley couldn't believe what she was hearing "What we're still going to school after all that".

Becky raised her eyebrow "Yeah… I mean stuff like that happens all the time here. After a while everyone kinda just got use to it. Hell of first day, huh".

Bayley could feel a sweatdrop falling "The day hasn't even started yet".

After a few moments and getting the OK from the police who just arrived, the bus was off and back on the road towards the school. As they drove off, Bayley looked back at the two villains Konnor and Viktor as she gulped.

"If this was just the beginning of the day what else am I in for".
