(Jane POV)

The ride with Happy was hazardous and made jumping off a skyscraper seem like a kiddy ride. After another sharp turn which flung me into Marcus's lap Happy came to an abrupt stop. "I thought you put on your seat belt?" Marcus questioned in an amused tone. "I did." I said in exasperation as I picked up a piece of my seat belt that had torn off. "Aw crap I just duck taped that last week!" Happy shouted sounding heartbroken. "Dude duck tape does not solve everything." Marcus informed him with mock graveness. Both Happy's and my heads snapped up to stair at Marcus and we yelled at the same time "Yes it does!" Marcus face palmed and said "And Jane are you concluding this on the face that you made a duck tape cast to heal your broken arm?" "Yes and it worked perfectly in the end." I told him hoping that he would leave the last part of the story out of the conversation. "No it didn't!" Dam.. "It ended with me taking you to the E.R at 1:00 in the morning to get it properly cast while you were screaming in pain." Happy was now giggling like a 12 year old girl. "Shut up it was the first time I broke a limb. I didn't even cry the second time." I defended my pride slightly injured. "That was because you were unconscious." he said as he rolled his eyes. It was not uncommon for me to injure myself seriously but it was never on the "job." The only reason Marcus still let me fight crime and not tie me down to a chair was because I had caused both injuries by tripping over something and falling down a staircase. I had fragile bones because of my bird like qualities as I was sure Banner would find out soon enough when he studies me.

We all exited the car/death trap and headed through a dark ally that led to and abandon subway passage that had been unlocked. After five minutes of walking through the tunnels we finally made it to home base. Almost everyone was there and we only had to wait on a few more people to start. I saw Lizzy waving shyly at Happy who's face seemed to slit in half from the size of his grin. Liz and Happy had been dating for a year now and I had the honor of putting them together. Well I actually locked them in a closet for several hours together until they finally admitted their feelings for each other. Lizzy was a shy and down to earth kind of girl, the complete opposite of Happy. She was fuller figured with permanently crooked glasses and a pair of head phones always around her neck. She was very sweet and a good friend of mine. Although she did on occasion look like she wanted to faze into the floor and hide. With her power to go through solid surfaces she sometimes did. While I waited I couldn't help but think of how our vigilante management system worked.

Everyone of the 50 was split into a pair that they chose so that there were 25 pairs in all. These pairs were given a certain spot of New York to run and protect. You see the Light is a city wide organization of over 1000 mutants and 1000 geniuses. But 2000 vigilantes of all walks of life need supervision and that's where we come in. New York was divided into 25 parts and each pair gets one spot to run. It's our job to make sure the 80 or so people in our area are following the rules and are assigned missions and patrols. My partner is Marcus and got one of the ware house districts. It is one of the lower populated areas but the crime rate is scarily high. In the past two years alone we had to kick out three gangs who decided to set up shop and ended one big arms dealing ring that was connected with the Chinese Triad. The people we manage were raised in that area and I trust most of them with my life. Marcus lives there and I used to too before Shield stormed my house. We meet up with then once a month disguised as an A.A. meeting. Those are not uncommon in the area and no one questions who attends since it's anonymous. Usually we just communicate through burner phones that are replaced every meeting. The 50 also meet up once a month to discuss the status of each of the sections and if help is needed or hat our next plan of action is. Right now we had to discuss Shield now that word has spread through the Light of a boss. It would be any day now before Shield finds out. "So Jane what's the plan?" Ace called out and I knew it was my turn speak. I stood up from my seat on an old chair and began. The first thing I did was change to my real appearance.

You see most mutants have the recessive X-gene that gives them their powers. Well I have the dominate gene. Mutants with the recessive gene get powers but it doesn't change their outer appearance. The one's with the dominate do. So not only do I have the telekinesis but the gene affects my appearance as well. It's what gave me my wings but in doing so it changed me so that my real form looks almost completely different from how I choose to look like to every one else. It happened when I was 14 and it took me six months to learn how to switch between the two looks. To look like the Jane that everyone knows I have to actively concentrate slightly on it at all times. I like to be in my real form and am not ashamed of it but regular people still judge me by it anyway. The first time I woke up after my shift I ran to Marcus in a panic. He was totally cool with it and helped me adjust to it and embrace it. The 50 know of course as well as Jenny, Maxine, and their girls. I really did looked like the alter ego I was going to be portraying, Ghost. My brown wavy hair turned a light silver color and became straight. My lightly tanned and freckled skin lost all it's pigment so that it looked pure white like an albino. My dark blue irises eyes seemed to pop as did my dark eyelashes and my red lips. With my white wings I looked like the ghost of an angel.

"Okay this is what I think we need to do..." (Ha, like I would ruin all the story plot.) The meeting lasted an hour and it was all good news. We discussed our course of action and decided that we were not going to act until Shield did. Happy went on a rant on some sonic motorcycles he was developing and the four other mechanical geniuses gave their opinions and advice. The rest of the 50 just wanted to try them out as soon as possible. All I could think was ''Look out New York there would soon be wild teenagers flying through the streets as fast as the speed of sound.''

Once the meeting was over and the many goodbyes were said, Marcus and I were finally leaving. Steve started to beep which means he finally had the culprit. I pulled him out of my pocket and looked at the image there before me. I felt my face flush red with anger and my hands shook because I was gripping Steve so hard. Marcus was at my side instantly looking over my shoulder. "Isn't that the guy from Shield?" He asked and the familiarity of his voice calmed me down. "Yes, that's Alex the inexperienced one." I said in a hiss. "So he was the one at the hospital with us?" He looked disapproving but relived that it wasn't someone dangerous. "I told them no surveillance. I told them there would be consequences. If I wasn't spying on them I would have left the first time they pulled this crap." I said in an still angry voice. "So this means war?" Marcus asked casually but his eyes glinted with something that spoke loudly of violence. He didn't care what the consequences were for attacking Shield. Someone was bothering me and he would stop them. Of course I would do the same for him in an instant. "No my friend," I said deadly calm which was far worse than me shouting. "This means revenge is in order." With those words I turned sharply around and headed down the subway tunnel plotting.

So there's a new chapter. Sorry it's so late and short. It's because I'm also writing another fan fic at the moment. Please review and follow it. It will make my day. Next chapter should be coming out soon. Peace out! - DragonChick65
