Save the citizen. Fun to watch. Unless you watch it so much it starts to bug you how you seem to be the only one without any powers. Okay, technically I'm not the only one, it just feels that way. I so hate the other kids right now. At the moment the villains are looking for challengers. I started waving my arms and trying to get their attention. As soon as I had it I began pointing at Tai and yelling,

"Pick him, pick him!"

Without waiting for them to call him Tai recluctantly went down to the arena mumbling about how it couldn't be helped. I enthusiastically cheered him on. Telling him to take them down and show us that he's a man! He completely ignored me. The villains didn't seem to mind. In fact, they just look at him like he's fresh meat.

"Put on the armor."

Couch Boomer ordered Tai

"No thank you."

At first people looked shocked, then couch Boomer insisted. Ha! Wait till they see what Tai can do.

"It won't be a fair fight."

The villains pointed out. Obviously they just wanted to show off.

"True. Which is why I would like to request fighting without a partner."

Tai's completely stoic response infuriated them. They wanted to know what gave a freshmen the right to talk so big and were mad at him for insulting them so heavily. Without waiting for the match to begin one of them came rushing at Tai with super speed. He ran past Tai so fast he spun all around. Then speed boy stopped and looked like he was trying to stop himself from falling over. Tai whipped out some really long needles and threw them into speed boy's spine. Causing him him to collapse in his own spit up blood. His teamate looked shocked, then spoke.

"You think you're so cool? Well, I've heard of a move a kid who went here used that was really effective."

Of all the moves he could've used it was one I knew. He punched the floor and it caused a sort of wave. So he has super strength like my dad, huh?

Tai jumped up before the floor tripped him. He went flying above strength boy doing a flip twist combo in midair throwing his needles into strength boy before landing. It didn't matter that the needles had no effect because as soon as strength boy reached out to block himself he'd given Tai the perfect opening. Tai hit him with a bunch of quick pokes. Strength boy pulled his arm back intending to knock Tai into the next century only to find himself being thrown roughly onto the wooden floor.

"My strength! What happened?"

Strength boy panicked. His question was being echoed loudly throughout the stands. I decided to go ahead and answer the people next to me.

"It's a family martial arts style designed to take down others with powers. All superheroes have their bodies altered in a way that will accomodate their powers. Like people with fire powers are extremly heat resistent. He just needs to know what his opponent's powers are and then he'll know exactly where to hit to take them down. As you can see he can hit these points accurately easily in battle."

He knows all the freshmens' powers thanks to couch Boomer and it's easy to find out the other kids abilities. Plus he's deadly good with his knife throwing. If I sound a little proud I can't really help it. The other kids were shocked, awed, scared, jealous, and fascinated. I tried to not beam at the response. Now Tai just had to get the citizen. He had more than enough time so it wasn't a problem. Instead he went back to his seat and let the citizen die. I hadn't really expected anything else.

Don't get me wrong, if it was a real person I would have kicked him right back down into the stands, but since it's just a doll...

In any case the other kids were pretty annoyed with him for not finishing.

Out in the hall the villains and their friends caught up to us. Apparently the fact that Tai hadn't bothered saving the citizen made them look like bigger fools. They immediately went in a tirade against him. I casually flipped my long, blue-green hair over my shoulder.

"Sorry, but last I checked you were defeated."

I smirked

"You're lucky you're cute."

Speed boy grumbled. Ha! Take that Tai Greyson, you emotionless pervert! Tai mumbled something about not wanting to catch their stupid and walked away. I quickly followed like I always do. A couple of them insulted us, so I turned my head to childishly stick my tongue out at them. Then I pointed out that Tai had stood there for awhile before walking away.

"Sadly wasting my time with things like them is pretty much all there is to do around here."

He replied

"Even though you say that, from the stands it looked like you were kind of having fun."

"Th-that's nuts."

Tai turned his head away and I tried to hide a giggle at his over defensiveness. Then a poster caught my attention. Aww, the kitten on it is sooo cute! Yes, I'm a cat person. I like dogs, too. Just not as much. I could feel Tai rolling his eyes behind me at my girly behavior. I mean, I am a girl after all. I went on to read the advertisement. One of the kids was going to be giving away kittens outside the school tommorrow.

"You're going to drag me to this, aren't you?"

Tai muttered. Since he clearly knew the answer already I didn't bother responding.

Of course, now that I think about it I haven't asked my parents yet if it's okay. Asking about those kinds of things was kind of made a rule after Mickey. He was this bird I got from a hobo when I was eight and brought home without mentioning him to my parents. Unfortuneatly Mikey had a biting problem. Turned out it was rabies. Sadly he's no longer with us. Also, I discovered how much I loathe tetanus shots. When I get home I have to remember to appeal to my mom. There's pretty much a 98 percent chance she'll be okay with it and between the two of us we can talk dad into almost anything.
