Fatal Flaw {Jordan Li}

ᴄʜ.3- ʜɪᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ʀᴜɴɴɪɴɢ

The three young women head towards the Lamplighter School of Crime Fighting, moving towards the door with Prof. Richard Brinkerhoff written on it. When they enter the room the trio are greeted by a young person with a dusty blue sweater, black jeans and a silver necklace. Their face was lovely with their brown eyes, beauty marks and smooth lips but it was marred by the unpleasant look on their face, they look annoyed at the three of you as they took out their headphones. You recognized them as #3 Jordan Li, the supe with different abilities depending on their physical form.

"Hi Jordan, there's been a mistake. I signed up for Brink's Freshmen Intro to Crime Fighting. My friends here were accepted and added into the schedule but I wasn't?" Marie says, her voice stammering as she fidgets around. Jordan looks towards the direction of Artemis and Reina, they're met with a nod and a small wave. Both instantly disliking the supe due to their arrogant attitude, sure being #3 is amazing but being an asshole isn't cool in the slightest.

"What's your name?" Jordan asks, getting ready to type.

"Moreau...Marie Moreau." Marie says, her voice uneasy.

"Oh yeah, I see the problem. You were rejected." Jordan says.

At this a gasp leaves Artemis' lips, "The fuck you mean she got rejected?! Her powers are amazing, there's no reason for her to get rejected, she's literally perfect!"

"What? What do you mean? I quadruple checked the forms!" Marie exclaims.

"Well we don't have space for everyone." Jordan says, false sadness in their voice.

"I have to take Intro, everyone who majors in crime fighting takes Intro!" Marie says.

"Look, most freshmen show up they think they'll major in crime fighting, crush their combat and forensic classes and score a city contract, but they won't. I mean you're competing with kids who have cleared homicide cases, who have over a million followers." Jordan starts, motioning over to the blonde and brunette standing a little ways away. "This one is the daughter of a tech titan and started an app that helps report crimes in a 30 mile radius for the heroes in the area. Bringing crime down massively in some areas because of it, she also has 3.5 million followers. CelesteTheeStargazer on instagram right?" Jordan nods at Artemis, who nods back.

"The blonde is a big help at hospitals, her powers help her convert water into blood for hospitals. She visits cancer wards with her friend and they use their powers to entertain children, it was on the news just last week. Miss MagickalGirl has 3 million followers of her own, both girls have made impact to make them more marketable and more likely to get a big city contract." Jordan continues to explain to Marie who looks at her new friends surprisingly, she had no idea that they did things like that, though in everyone's defense they'd all just met today so...

"But you...you don't even have an Insta. Now I've got to get back to this." Jordan finishes.

Marie, rightfully upset, opens her mouth to speak, "Can I talk to professor Brink about this?"

"No, I made the call. I'm his TA."

"Hold on? This was your decision?" Reina says, "The fuck gives you the right to pick who's not worthy?"

"Who are you to reject me?" Marie asks.

The door opens to Brink shouting Jordan's name, a gunshot rings out and all of a sudden Jordans form goes from female to male, a bullethole now in their shirt.

"What the flying fuck was that?!" Artemis shouts, her hands and eyes glowing wildly, causing the room's attention to be brought to her. A squeeze from Reina's hand on her shoulder causes her to power down, the particles of tiny stars and other celestial bodies disappearing along with the glow to her hands and eyes.
