A.N: Hey guys! I love Sky High and I'm excited to finally be able to share my story with you! Hope you enjoy it and don't worry, I'm still working on the bleach one!
I have decided to re-write this story and go with my original idea. With the one I had posted first, I made a lot of changes and wasn't liking how the story played out and had a lot of writers block. Hope you enjoy this version. It will start out similar but there will be changes throughout. Sorry for the confusion. This is my story and I can choose to re-write it if I like after all.
Enjoy!

Standing in front of her new school, Caitlin Grey stared at her schedule. She wondered what this school had to offer. She was looking forward to starting. She had attended another high school for her freshman year, however, it was a regular high school and she had to be really careful around her classmates. She had superpowers and this school would help her control them better. Because her previous school was a regular high school, none of her credits were able to transfer and she had to start her freshman year. It was all written in her letter. It was going to be better for her to be attending a school where she could use her powers freely. She walked inside the school and met Principal Powers.
"Welcome to Sky High, Caitlin." Principal Powers greeted with a smile. "I'm Principal Powers." She was a tall woman wearing a white suit. She had slender brown hair.
"Thank you." Caitlin smiled. "Nice to meet you."
"I know you went to a previous high school, but the credits won't be transferred here, since we don't have the same classes. And you are starting school at the age that a sophomore would be, however, you will be starting as a freshman." Principal Powers told her. "I am sure you already know the reason?"
"Yes." Caitlin nodded and then smiled. "It was all written in the letter."
"Now, because you went to a super powered high school, were there any cases where you used your powers in front of the other students?" Principal Powers asked.
Caitlin shook her head. "I was sure to be very careful around the other students. I can control my power." She replied, smiling.
"Excellent." Principal Powers smiled. "Let me give you a tour and then I will bring you to the gym where they are doing the power placement."
"Power placement, yes. My parents told me about that." Caitlin nodded. "Where you show your powers and you get placed as a hero or a sidekick." Her parents had told her the procedure about what happens on your first day.
"Exactly." Principal Powers nodded. "Now, follow me, Caitlin. Let's get on with that tour!"
"Actually Principal Powers, I would prefer if you call me Katie." She told her. "Caitlin is what my parents call me when they have to talk about something serious or if I get in trouble."
Principal Powers raised a brow. "Are you someone I need to keep my eye on?" She teased.
Katie shook her head, frantically. "No no! I swear."
Principal Powers nodded. "Alright Katie."
And they started the tour.

When the tour was over, Principal Powers lead her to the gym and walked off.
Katie walked into the gym. One kid walked off the stadium after he was placed and everyone stared at her as she walked in.
The gym teacher looked over at her. "I am Coach Boomer and we were waiting for you. Stand on the stage and introduce yourself!"
Boomer? Her parents definitely told her about him. Katie walked up and stood on stage. Other students stared at her and Katie was feeling nervous. "H-Hi my name is Caitlin, but I like being called Katie." She smiled nervously at everyone.
"Hi Katie." All the students greeted, nonchalantly.
"Show us your power."
A red haired girl from the audience gave her a thumbs up and a reassuring smile.
Katie smiled back at her and took a deep breath.
And disappeared.
"Invisibility?"
"Yes, sir."
"That's it?"
Well, he didn't sound impressed. "Yes." Katie replied.
"…CAR!"
A car fell on the spot Katie was on.
Still invisible, she stepped forward and turned visible, unharmed.
"Impressive but not really useful in a fight is it?" He said. "Sidekick."

Katie walked around the cafeteria, trying to find somewhere to sit. She found an empty table and she began eating. She didn't really want to sit alone, but it was her first day after all and she was sure that she would make friends soon. She was about to take a bite of her meal when a figure appeared in front of her and she looked up.
"This is my table." A boy with dark brown hair with one red streak said to her in a low voice.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry…"
"And no one sits at my table."
"R-Right, I'm sorry." Katie got up and grabbed her tray. She looked around the cafeteria for somewhere else to sit.
"That's the girl who is able to turn invisible." Layla told Will, Ethan, Zach and Magenta whom she was sitting at a table with.
"Invite her over to sit with us." Ethan suggested.
"Are you guys okay with that?"
"Of course, no one should sit alone." Magenta smiled at Layla. She remembered when Layla sat with Magenta that day and became fast friends.
"Magenta's right." Zach chimed in. "She could be a new friend. She seems nice."
Layla nodded and acted fast. "Katie! Over here!"
Katie looked up and recognized the red haired girl. She was the one who had given her the encouragement. She smiled and went over to sit at their table. "Thanks!"
"I'm Layla. That's Will, Magenta, Zach and Ethan." Layla pointed to each of her friends as she introduced them.
Zach had white blonde hair and was wearing a lot of white. He was wearing a white and yellow t-shirt, white shorts and a white visor.
Magenta had black hair with purple streaks in it. It was styled in two high buns with two strands of her purple streaks framing her face. She wore a purple top and a black skirt.
Will had brown hair and his bangs were swept to the side. He wore jeans and a blue top with a red stripe on the sleeve.
Ethan had black rimmed glasses and black hair. He was wearing a yellow top, orange sweater and blue jeans.
Layla had red hair tied in two low ponytails. She wore a green blouse and brown pants.
Katie was wearing a pink cardigan sweater over a white tank top and blue capris. Her long strawberry blonde hair was tied in a low ponytail with two strands of hair framing her face.
It was like each of them had their signature colors. Katie noticed.
"Nice to meet you." Katie smiled. "What are your powers?"
"I turn into a guinea pig."
"I melt."
"I glow."
"I manipulate plant life."
"I don't have my powers yet."
"You don't?"
"No, the nurse told me that maybe I won't even get them because both my parents are superheroes." Will explained. "It really sucks, I thought I'd have them by now."
"That's weird." Katie blinked. "Both my parents have superpowers and I have them too. Maybe it will take time for you to get them." She smiled at him.
Will smiled at her. "Let's hope."
"I mean, it took time for me." Katie told him.
"I hope it doesn't take too long for me to get them." Will sighed.
"I'm sure it won't." Katie assured him. "But you guys have cool powers." She added.
"We're just sidekicks though." Ethan muttered.
"And so am I."
"Invisibility is pretty cool." Zach chimed in. "You could do whatever you want and literally not get caught. Not be seen. Like how cool. You should totally be a hero."
"Coach Boomer doesn't think so." Katie sighed. "But it's alright. Being a sidekick or hero, it doesn't matter to me." When she saw the looks on their faces, she blushed. "I mean…I just don't think it's fair that we have to be separated into two groups where one has power over the other."
"Exactly!" Layla exclaimed. "Oh, I know we are going to be great friends." She put an arm around Katie.
Katie smiled back. "I'm happy to have made friends on the first day. I don't care if you guys are sidekicks. Your powers are really cool, regardless."
Magenta raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
Katie placed a hand to her chin. They looked sad about being sidekicks and she wanted them to feel happy about their powers and all the positive things about it. She did not want to make them feel less of what they should be. "There is a power outage, it's dark and everyone is freaking out. No one has a flashlight on them, the emergency lights don't work…"
"Why wouldn't they work?" Magenta chimed in.
"Shut up." Zach ignored Magenta's glare. He liked how Katie was hyping this up.
"…Zach lights up and leads everyone to safety. He is a hero."
Zach grinned. "That's what I'm talking about!" He high fived her.
Katie grinned back.
"What about me?!" Ethan asked. He wanted to know!
"Let's see…someone is running towards you…" Katie started. "Or walking." She added.
"…Speed?"
"I don't know who that is."
"He is a senior who has super speed." Ethan explained.
Katie shrugged. Didn't ring any bells. "…and then you melt which causes him to slip and fall."
Ethan grinned. "Sweet."
Katie turned to Layla. "Manipulating plants is really cool. We have the earth around us, right? And you could make it do anything for you."
Layla nodded, smiling. "That is true."
Will nodded. "She revived three plants at my house."
Katie grinned. "Wow!"
"I only use my powers when the situation calls for it though." Layla told Katie.
"And me?" Magenta asked, crossing her arms.
"Umm…well…guinea pigs are cute." Katie smiled at Magenta.
Magenta shrugged and smiled back. She was the first person to say that with a smile.
Zach nodded. "I agree."
Layla giggled.
Katie looked over at Layla, wide eyed.
Layla nodded.
Katie opened her mouth in awe and looked over at Zach.
Zach looked at Layla and then Katie. "What?" Did they just have a conversation without talking? Was this a girl thing?
Layla shook her head. "Nothing."
Zach looked at Will. Maybe he knew.
Will shrugged.
Zach sighed.
No he did not.

Katie unlocked her door and walked in. She had recently moved after attending a year at the normal school. Her parents were nowhere to be seen. She locked the door, placed her backpack on the sofa and walked into the kitchen. "Mom?! Dad?!" She called out.
"James! The barbeque won't start!"
"Just light it up, Sophie! Literally!"
Katie looked over at the door leading to the backyard and saw her mother trying to get the barbeque to start and her father cleaning the pool. She smiled and made her way over to the backyard.
"And what if the neighbors see?" Sophie asked. Not all of them had superpowers. She tucked her shoulder length strawberry blonde hair behind her ear.
"The fence is blocking it!" James assured her.
"Mom? Dad?" Katie walked closer to them. Did they hear her?
"Katie!" Her father teleported from where he was and appeared in front of her. He gave her a big hug. "How was your first day?"
"Good!" Katie smiled.
"And how did it go even though you were late?" Sophie asked.
Katie shrugged. "It was alright. All eyes were on me when I walked into the gym and I was the last one to show my powers…but I did get a private tour with the Principal, so that was nice."
Her father smiled. "Great to hear!" He ruffled her hair. "You are going to love Sky High. It is a great school. That is where your mother and I met." He ran a hand through his tousled brown hair.
Her mother blew a kiss towards them and grunted at the barbeque. "No one is looking right, James?" Sophie asked. She wanted to be sure. Not every family in the neighborhood had super powers.
"No, Sophie. Light it up."
A flame appeared in Sophie's hands. She placed her hand in the BBQ and touched the coals. When they were on fire, she took her hand out and the fire on her hand disappeared.
"Hot damn." James reacted. "I guess the barbeque is aflame."
"Dad." Him and his dad puns.
Her father laughed. He always loved to make puns.
Sophie started cooking meat and veggies on the BBQ. She closed the lid and sat down at the outdoor table. "Tell me about your first day, sweetie. Did you make any friends?"
"Yes! Layla, Magenta, Zach, Ethan and Will."
"Zach, Ethan and Will?" James looked over at his daughter. "Boys?"
"Yes, Dad. Boys." Katie replied.
"Wait…Will? Will Stronghold?" Sophie looked over at her.
"Yeah…why?"
"Katie, he's the son of Commander and Jetstream."
"I heard yeah!" Katie nodded. "That was probably why he was upset that he didn't get his powers yet."
"Commander and Jetstream are really called Steve Stronghold and Josie DeMarco." James informed her.
"You know them?!" Katie blinked.
"Yes, we went to Sky High with them when we were younger." Sophie told her.
Katie nodded. "Did you graduate together?" She wondered.
"No, though I'm glad I didn't." James mumbled low enough for Katie not to hear.
Katie just nodded. "Ah okay."
"You don't remember Will?" James asked, looking at her.
Katie shook her head. "No…not really. He looked familiar but…I mean, am I supposed to?"
"Well, I don't blame you. You both were very young." James explained.
"O-Oh." Katie nodded. Still didn't ring any bells. She was pretty young after all.
"Anyways, honey. Dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you set the table?" Sophie asked. "It would be nice to eat outside!"
Katie smiled and went to get the plates and cutlery from inside the house. It was a while since they had a meal together and she was going to enjoy it.
