What if....

Chapter 1

August 29th, XXXX

After John landed he called his Dad to tell him everything went swell and asked him where the house that his dad rented out for him at Wellston.

Once he arrived he entered and instantly was amazed. "Wow, this is perfect. Got my own furniture all set up and ready to go. Even got my own punching bag!" Once he got settled down and unpacked just a tad bit he checked his watch to see the time.

'Dang, it's only 3 P.M. I could go finish unpacking orrrrrrrr, procrastinate and go for a run and familiarize myself with Wellston.' John decided the better idea would be to just go for a run and explore Wellstone while he was at it. He just wore something basic. Cargo shorts and a plain blue t-shirt.

After about an hour of running he found a very familiar place that he went to often, Woaba Boba. He decided to take a break and enter to get himself a mango tea boba.

"Hello what can I get for you today?" a girl asked John that was wearing an apron with green hair and dark green eyes. "I will have the mango boba please" John said while keeping eye contact with her. Shortly after the door opened again and saw three people enter. There were two males and one female all wearing school uniform. One male had red hair and the other was a mix of orange and black hair. The girl had decently long pink hair with a ribbon to keep it held up.

They entered and sat the at the booth in front of John and were just talking about random stuff until they were talking about something that that interested John a lot.

"Did you hear about all of these EMBER sightings? They're getting closer to Wellston with every murder." The red head looked at the pinkette while she was saying this with a very confused face.

"What the hell is EMBER?" the red head asked now curiously. Before the pinkette could respond the mix haired boy responded. "Dude that's the organization that's been killing these superheroes."

The pinkette decided to elaborate on what he had said. "Yea ever since that book unOrdinary has been released and later ban by the authorities, superheroes started appearing out of nowhere to help people out. I think it's pretty admiring to say the least" she said with a smile on her face.

"Remi you can't be serious. Those superheroes are crazy risking their lives for random people they don't even know. It is basically a death sentence with all of these murders happening."

John started thinking about what they were saying while trying to not act like he was eavesdropping. 'EMBER huh? Murdering these said superheroes who just want to help out. This Remi girl must be pretty passionate about superheroes.'

As he was thinking about what they said he continued to listen to their conversation yet again. "Blyke all they want to do it help people in need. There is no reason why they need to be murder-" the orange and black hair kid jumped in before she finished her sentence.

"They don't need to do any of that though. We have the authorities for shit like that Remi. Those people are risking their lives for no reason at all while they can make a difference doing something else." Blyke nodded his head in agreement.

John was just very intrigued listening to this conversation. He understood both sides but would have to agree with this "Remi" girl. After all, these superheroes are doing what the authorities aren't doing. Helping people. John kept on thinking what EMBER was trying to accomplish by only targeting superheroes and letting themselves be known.

Even though those three people were still talking about EMBER and a bunch of random shit, John didn't have time to continue listening and didn't care much to be quite honest. He still needed to unpack and go to sleep at a decent time considering his first day of school is tomorrow.
