A lone figure sits on the roof of a tall building. The figure stood and stretched before sighing.

"Another beautiful morning, the sun's shining, birds are chripping, and the flowers are bloo-" KABOOM! The person's right eyebrow twitched as an explosion sounded in the street below. "Damn monsters, ruining this wonderful morning and one of my only times to relax."

My name is Selena Shepard, thirteen girl (soon turning fourteen) who just started at Midtown High and secretly New York's newest superhero Seraph. To tell you the truth, I'm from a different dimension where a harmless game went a little wrong but I'm not going to tell you the details of that. For some reason the creatures from my world followed me here.

"Going somewhere?" I said landing in front of the monsters. I flinched a little when I saw them. They were Ruin Kobold Sentinels. Back in that "game" they were the minions of the first floor boss. The victory over the boss was a bittersweet one with a good leader dying. Well, lets stop being depressing.

I sidestepped as one of the Sentinels charged and wildly swung his halberd. I then grabbed his tail as he passed by, tripping him up before stabbing him with my sword. I turn towards the others as he bursted into red shards. The others stared at me in disbelief and then charged.

"Big mistake." I nimbly dodged their wild attacks before slashing back. One snuck up behind me and tried to hit me. "Dang it!" I heard a gun shot before he dissolved into red shards as well. I looked around to find were the gun shot had come from before my eyes landed on a man with an eye patch.

"Seraph, I presume."

I knew who he was straight away. Nick Fury, Director of Shield.

"I see you've handle that monster problem." He said.

"Yeah, I'm pretty good right?" I asked and he frowned.

"And caused serious worth of damage in the process." He said.

I looked around and notice the Ruin Kobold Sentinels had caused quite a lot of damage. Oh.

"It was the Sentinels fault to be fair. I think that I'm a good enough fighter." I said.

"Maybe now, but with some training you would be able to do your job more effectively." Fury said.

"Ok, I have trained and I did my job pretty well seeing as I taken care of them."

"I'm serious, Selena Shepard." He said just as I turned to walk away.I froze and then turned to face him.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Super spy, remember?"

"So...What were you saying about an offer?" I asked.

"Shield is trying to make the next generation of the greats. The next Captain America, the next Iron Man."

I frowned. "Your point is..."

"First Shield wants to see how you in action. Than we'll see if your ready for 'the catch.' So how bout it, kid? You want to be the next great?"

"The next great?" I thought about it before I spoke up. "I'm not to sure about it..."

"We could also get you home." That sealed the deal.

"Deal, but I turned I need to get school before I get maked as late. I really don't want to ruin my record already. Thanks!" I sumoned my wings before taking off.

As soon as I landed next to the school I changed from my ALOnline avatar to my regular self before dashing off. I was just a hall away. I slammed through the door and got into my seat only to notice that no one was in the classroom. I looked at the clock before slamming my head against the desk. It was 25 minutes before class started.

"Why do I do this to myself?" I once again forgot my clock was set ahead of time. "Ugh."

*Timeskip brought by my idiocy*

Lunch rolled around and I happily started eating. Luckily I brought my own lunch because I really don't trust the school lunch. I played around a bit with my peas, fidgeting every now and then. Something bad is going to happen, I could feel it. Suddenly a wall exploded to my right, flipping a table over but luckily no one was harmed.

The smoke was starting to clear, thanks to ventilation provided by the brand new hole in the cafeteria wall. Through it, I could see three figures calmly walking over the rubble.

"Attention, students!"

The loud and imposing voice drew the attention of everyone in the room, and it fell into an almost unnatural silence. The man who had spoken smirked, enjoying the fear he was instilling. I glared at him shortly before trying to scoot away.

My eyes widen as I saw a fourth figure floating and I stopped. "Your principal has something to tell you," The first man announced, and gestured with one arm. The floating person—our principal— drifted through the opening and into the cafeteria.

"Students! Y-your attention please!" He stammered, terrified, and I clenched a fist at my side. "The school is now under the control of the— the—"

"The Frightful Four!" The only woman in the bunch snarled, stepping forward.

Then a voice piped up from nearby me. "Uh, there's only three of you," A red haired girl pointed out, I think her name is MJ.

"Quiet!" The first one snapped, then the principal was suddenly hurled straight at her. The group ducked as he passed them and slammed into the vending machines at the back of the room, and I spun to see where he had landed, hoping that he was okay. I heard his pained groans and sighed in relief. At least he was alive.

The one in purple armor who had just flung our principal across the cafeteria was the Wizard, a master of high tech gadgetry. These gadgets happened to include anti-gravity discs that allow him the power to levitate things at will.

He wasted no time in tossing even more of the things out where they stuck to tables and chairs and suddenly turned the whole cafeteria into one big floating obstacle course.

While people were busy screaming and trying to dodge the flying furniture, another member of the Frightful Four stepped up— Klaw, a villain made of living sound. He raised his right arm, which, instead of having a hand on the end of it, terminated in a claw.

And as he proceeded to demonstrate, it wasn't so much a claw as it was a 'sonic force blaster'. What does it do?

A pulse of sound emitted from the end of Klaw's arm, shattering several tables, tearing apart a good chunk of the ceiling and destroying one of the support pillars in the middle of the room— not to mention leaving everyone nearby clutching their ears in pain as they tried to scramble out of the way.

And that just left the third member of their little gang— Thundra, who proceeded to smash yet another pillar. I glaced at the ceiling nervously. It seemed to be holding, though. Thundra is, of course, a ruthless woman warrior from an alternate future timeline. Well, that's what I heard.

Lastly was the Trapster who was absent. Though I wonder why the name Trapster. You'll expect him to be more like a guy with variety of traps, not just glue. I heard he got arrested by Spider-Man this morning.

Wizard began speaking again. "Before the Trapster was captured," he announced, levitating himself into the trashed cafeteria, "He learned that Spider-Man attends this school."

My eyes blinked in surprise. What?!

Wizard continued. "And unless he gives himself up, we'll tear this place down, brick by brick." No, school don't die on me! I only just begun... Wizard's words had somewhat of the opposite effect on some of the other kids, who thought that tearing the school down sounded like a pretty sweet idea. One of the guys even cheered, "Yeah!"

Wizard turned his glare on the boy and snapped, "We're serious!" The guy in question flinched, covering his mouth. Wizard smirked at the reaction, before turning his head to regard his companions. "Klaw?" he prompted.

Klaw fired another sonic pulse straight into the ceiling, raining dust and debris onto the students, most of whom ran for cover, screaming. I really needed to help but it's not like I could change into my avatar in the middle of all these students.

Wizard floated past, and I let out a ragged breath. He continued his inspection. "Is he a teacher? A student? …A cafeteria lady?" he added with a chuckle.

Okay, terrified or not, I almost blurted out a protest at that. I mean, Spider-Man is male, you really a women to be him! He's stupid if he thought that.

"Hmm," Wizard hummed to himself, dissatisfied with the continued silence. "They seem reluctant to talk. Klaw," he instructed, "make them listen to reason."

I jerked my head back around to see Klaw leveling his blaster again— but this time, it wasn't a destructive pulse that he unleashed. Instead, the noise level in the cafeteria suddenly ratcheted up to an unbearable volume, making everyone grab at their ears and cry out in distress. It continued to shift, getting higher and higher, to the point of pain, and it was only getting worse—

"STOP IT!" The scream that tore forth from a boy's, Peter I think it was, throat should have been hard to pick up on with all that chaos, but the sound instantly stopped, leaving my head throbbing and ears ringing.

Wizard was suddenly back in front of him, this time truly looking Peter, and I recoiled, realizing his mistake.

He tilted his head as he continued his unexpectedly, though, Wizard started chuckling. "Definitely not Spider-Man," he decided.

That was followed by a growl from Thundra, who took a threatening step towards him. "I'll crush the runt!"

"Don't crush him," Wizard dismissed, but I didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Make an example of him," he finished, lips twisting into a cruel smile.

Damn it! I rush forward, pushing him out of the way as a barrage of sound, even more intense than before, shoved me to the ground. The sound was unbearable, who knew that Klaw had this much power. I shut my eyes trying to block the pain.

"Shut it down, I'll talk!" Peter shouted and the noise finally cut out.

Everything was dead silent. My breath was coming in shaking gasps, the ring in my ears still going. I couldn't understand what was happening as I layed there. I slowly opened my eyes as Peter's fingers slide under the edge of a lunch tray. Peter could see him tensing up in anticipation of what he was about to say, and he couldn't help it—his lips twitched into a small smirk.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Peter bellowed as best he could, before slinging the tray straight into Wizard's face. Hard enough to knock him clean out of the air.

The air was suddenly filled with flying food and trays as the students proceeded to pelt the villains with the remains of lunch. I dodged a few things before running out of the cafeteria. I ran into the girls' bathroom incase anyone else manages to get out. I quickly swiped my left hand's pointer finger down opening up the ALOnline menu.

They want a hero? They're going to get one.

When I came back, I could see that most of the cafeteria was destroyed. I scanned the scene, and the first thing my eyes caught on was Klaw. The living soundbot had cornered a group of students, and as I watched, he aimed his sonic blaster at them.

I wrapped my whip around Klaw's blaster; just as he was getting ready to fire, I tugged. The movement caught the villain completely off guard— the blaster went off in his own face, staggering him. I decided to help the process along by plowing his face into the floor. How lovely.

I then glanced up at the kids, who looked like they were somewhere between scared and star struck. I gestured to one side. "Get out of here, get someplace safe!" My urging seemed to do the trick, and they scrambled to get their feet under them before darting away.

Turning, I searched for a new target; I still couldn't entirely rely on my hearing, so I had to go by what I saw— only to see Thundra lifting a kid by his throat. My eyes narrowed.

"Hey!" It took a moment for her to realize that someone was talking to her, I ran up to her before kicking her in the face. "Pick on someone your own size!"

I turned to Wizard who was facing most of the crowd. I grabbed first item in my inventory, a ball of spider web. I threw it at his face drawing his attention towards me.

"Spider-Man. Finally." The Wizard pulled the webbing away from his helmet and activated a cam. "Engaging target now, Octavius- wait."

He looked at me and notice I wasn't Spider-Man.

"And who are you?" He asked.

"Some random girl trying to be a hero."

That's when Spider-Man showed up, slamming the man made of living sound into a pillar. "Aw, you got started without me? I mean, this party was in my honor, you'd think you could have waited." Spider-Man joked as he dodged one of Klaw's sonic strikes.

He then notice me.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Look, I'll introduce myself later, but right now let's deal with these guys!" I said before focusing back to the fighting.

The fight ended pretty okay except for the fact that someone got a full on blast from Klaw. Right now I had just followed Spider-Man into the hallway where he kicked Wizard

"Spider-Man!" A voice said.

"Gyah!" I squeezed Spider-Man in surprise of the sudden appearance, but then let go out of embarrassment. It was just Flash. I met him earlier in the day, he was bullying some boys in my class but I put a stop to it.

What was more frightening though, was the way Flash was looking at us. He looked... thrilled. "I'm your biggest fan!" he insisted, pulling open his letterman jacket to reveal a shirt with Spider-Man's mask design on it. "Let me help you!"

"Sure thing, 'number one fan'." Spider-Man popped open a locker. "Step in."

I almost busted up laughing right then and there— Flash did it without question. In fact, he was wearing a hopeful smile. "Now what?"

Affecting a serious tone, he pointed a finger at him. "Wait for my signal! Jump out, and we'll surround them. Remember— wait for my signal." And with that, he closed the locker on his face.

"That was completely immature." I said.

"I know, but it felt so good!" He said.

Before I could say anything else, I felt a nervous feeling someone approaching us.

"Hah!"

The guttural cry had me spinning, only to see the cafeteria doors explode outwards as Thundra smashed through them, still covered in bits of webbing. She ran into the hall, whirling around, and was shortly followed by Klaw. A moment later, Wizard floated out from behind a corner to join them.

"Where are they?" Thundra demanded.

At that point, we weren't exactly in the hall anymore. As soon as we seen Thundra and Klaw come bursting in, we jumped up to the ceiling and tucked ourselves into an air vent.

Something seemed to catch their attention, but it took a moment for me to realize what it was, since my ears were still ringing— police sirens.

Thundra growled, clenching her fists, but Wizard held up a warning hand. "We're not being paid to fight cops. Let's go."

And watching them from the air grate over their heads, there was nothing we could do, except let them go.

"Phew, that was a close one." Spider-Man said.

"Yeah, it's a good thing there was the vent above us." I said.

"By the way I didn't get your name." He said.

I smiled. "I'm Seraph."

"Nice to meet you." He said
