We Can Be Heroes Too

Headquarters

(Flare POV)

I woke up and I grabbed a glass of water which made the water sizzle at my touch. "Ugh." I mutter and I stand up and walked around my room. "Red overalls with a orange tank top." I say and I nod while grabbing my knee high red stiped socks and my red converse. I walked downstairs and I see my mom. "Hey mom." I say and I kiss her cheek. "Hey sweetie, oh I almost forgot. Today you and Gupps will go to HQ." She says and I nod. "Alright mom." I say and I go to Guppy's room. "Guppy." I say and she opens one eye. "Gupps we're going to HQ today, so get up and get dressed, agents will pick us up soon." I say and she nods. I pick out blue overalls and a pink shirt. "How's this?" I question and she makes a water thumbs up and I grin. 

After a few minutes Guppy and I were eating breakfast when there was a knock at the door. "Come on Gupps." I say and we grab our bags and we go to the door and open it. "Guppy and Flare?" The woman questions and we nod. "Follow me." She says and we go to the car and we sit in the backseat. "Here." I say handing Guppy her sippy cup full of water. "Thanks Flarey." She says and I smile. Once we make it we see Ms. Granada. "Hey Ms. Granada." I say and Guppy waves. "Hey girls, ready for class?" She questions and we nod as we go to the safe where we all 'do our work'. "You know the rules girls." Ms. Granada says and we nod as she opens the safe and we walk in. "Good work children." Ms. Granada says and I sit next to my friend Wildcard. I open my laptop and I start working. After she leaves Noodle stretches his neck and leans against the door. "She's gone!" Noodles says and we cheer. "Get any control over your powers yet?" I question and Wildcard shakes his head. 

After a while of goofing off Noodles checks the door. "She's coming!" He says and we sit in our seats and we 'do our work.' "Everyone, this is Missy. She will be joining you today." Ms. Granada says while a girl with long wavy hair stands there awkwardly. "Missy, I'd appreciate it if you would take a seat right there, and quietly continue your studies along with the other children." Ms. Granada says and Missy nods while sitting in the seat which was next to Fast Forward. "Children." Ms. Granada says and we turn to her. "Thank you for respecting my rules. Your parents will be very proud when I tell them of your exceptional behavior. Well done." She says and she chuckles and walks out of the safe. When the door closes I wait a few seconds. "Check Noodles." I say and he nods nd stretches his neck to the door. "She's gone!" He whisper shouts and we all cheer. "Wildcard starts throwing papers, A Capella is floating by using her voice. "Slo-mo is running, while Rewind is cheering and laughing. I go and sit next to Guppy as she and I make a fire and water paper airplane and we fly them by Missy, when she turns we catch them and we smile at her. Guppy then makes a shape and I laugh as I make a fire rod and poke it as it sizzles. I walk towards Wildcard and I make a firey deck of cards appear in my hands. "Take a card wildcard." I say and he laughs. "Last time I did that Guppy had to use her powers and splash me with water." He says and I laugh remembering the memory. After talking we hear feedback.

"Ms. A Capella Vox please refrain from using your high voice. Every dog in the neighborhood has surrounded our building." Ms. Granada says and I laugh along with the others. I then see A Capella use her low voice and it makes three chairs float and Face-maker climbs to the top and makes a pose on the top chair and I laugh. He then climbs down and A Capella stops singing and the chairs fall. "All righty let's see who's left." Wheels says and he wheels down the aisle. "That's blinding fast's kid, Slo-mo." Wheels says pointing at Slo-Mo. I see Slo-Mo with a bag of popcorn and he sits down, I turn and see Wildcard trying to conjure his powers. "He's actually moving very fast, but somehow his powers have him stuck in a time warp." Wheels says and Missy waves at him and Slo-Mo waves back. "Hi." Slo-Mo says slowly with a salute at the end. "That kid over there is Face-maker." Wheels says and I look over. "Two packs of candy for crossing our eyes." Face-maker says. "Okay." Noodles says. Noodles then makes a face and turns to Face-maker. "Beat that." He says. "He makes the craziest faces." Wheels says. I then notice Face-maker make his eyes switch and I snicker. "It's impossible!" Noodles says. "I can even change my face to look like you." Face-maker says and he does just that. "He's cheating! I can't compete with that!" Noodles says and he makes his fist enlarge and smash the table. "Oh dude! Rewind clean up on aisle two!" Wheels shouts. As Rewind joins Wheels introduces him. "That's Rewind, he can rewind time but just a few seconds." Wheels says and Rewind rewinds time and they replace the table with an exercise ball and Noodles smashes it and Face-maker goes flying, but he grabs the rope so he was fine. "They're twins, it's crazy right!" Wheels says and Missy looks confused. "What twins? What are you talking about?" Missy questions. "Fast forward are you at it again?" Wheels questions and Fast forward comes forward. 

"You were taking so long, I skipped you forward a bit. Sorry not sorry." Fast forward says and I smirk. "She and Rewind are twins. Opposite powers. The only thing they can agree on is they don't like each other." Wheels says. "At all." Rewind and Fast Forward both say and I shake my head. "They're twins. It's crazy, right?" Wheels says. "And then there's our fearless leader, Wildcard. There's not a power in the world he doesn't have." Wheels says. "True." Wildcard says with a smug look. "Sure, he has every power imaginable." Face-maker starts and I turn. "But since he can't focus his energy, they show up randomly." I say. "Also true, until now that is." Wildcard says and I shake my head. "Teleport!" Wildcard shouts and his physics book catches on fire. I use my powers and I take the fire off the book as Guppy brings her water firetruck and splashes the water away. "And last, but certainly not least. Guppy and Flare." Wheels says. "How are you two making that?" Missy questions and I keep my focus and I walk over to where they were. "Our Mommy is Lavagirl, and our daddy is Sharkboy. So instead of lava, I move water." Guppy says. "And I move fire." I say. Guppy then moves her hands down making the water splash over the fire. "I need hydration for my powers to work." Guppy says grabbing her sippy cup. She drinks and spits out the water creating a shark, which then turns into a shark going to eat a woman, it then splashes away and Missy gasps. "That's really cool." Missy says. "Thanks." Guppy says while giggling. I laugh and I nod. "Thanks Missy." I say and I sit next to Guppy. "So new girl, what's your superpower?" Wildcard questions. "Yeah uh, so with the whole power thing-" Missy was cut off by Face-maker. "Wait a second. I remember you. You're Marcus Moreno's kid." Face-maker says and I turn to Missy with a wide grin. "Yeah, my Dad hasn't gone on any missions for a while so I've been chilling with the normal kids." Missy says.

"Why would they put a kid with superpowers in a normal school?" I question. "Oh, I get it. You don't have any powers." Wildcard says. "You're powerless?" Wheels questions. "Powerless or not, we can barely control ours." I say and Missy sends me a thankful look. "Whatever. Can we turn on the TV? I want to see if there's news about our parents." Missy says.
