After Reece and I discovering that Tempest also has superpowers, and Tempest discovering that we weren't joking about being nice to her, we all became friends. In 2 days, I went from being friendless to having 2 of the best friends I'll probably ever have.
Plus, they're both in all of my classes.
"Really?" you ask? Yep. The school thought, hey, Aurora's already got one new student down, why not 2?
I'm lucky, aren't I?
Anyway, at lunch today, Reece, Tempest, and I started talking about superheroes that are like us, such as X-Men, the Avengers, those people. Then, Reece's face lit up with excitement.
"Guys.." she said, voice low and grinning broadly. "What if... we became superheroes? Like the X-Men? Or the Avengers! That would be awesome!"
Tempest looks uneasy. "Um.. but that would never happen, right? You're joking, right? We are way too unexperienced to fight."
Reece shrugged. "It would be easy. We practice our powers, use Aurora's scientific brain to figure out how to get the radio news on our phones, listen to it constantly, find a bad guy, defeat him/her, become famous, get more people on the team, and become superheroes. Like Spider-Man. Easy!"
Tempest and I drop open our mouths.
"Um, Reece... Spider-Man is a movie. It's not real life. That would never happen to us." I say.
"You don't know that." Reece says stubbornly. "Anything could happen when you have powers."
Tempest and I glance at each other, and our eyes communicate.
"Should we?" Tempests eyes say weakly.
"Sure, why not? She's gonna bother us about it for the rest of our lives if we don't." my eyes say exasperatedly.
"I'm in." I say, and put my fist out.
"So am I." Reece says firmly as she puts her fist in top of mine.
We look expectantly at Tempest, who looks even more uneasy.
"Tempest..." Reece says.
"Um... No thanks.." Tempest says weakly.
Reece and I glare at her, Reece because she's stubborn and I because I don't want Reece bothering us about it for the rest of eternity.
"Oh, fine," Tempest says, giving up and putting her fist on top of ours.
"To being superheroes!" Reece yells. "3, 2, 1!" We put our fists in the air.
We are now officially superheroes.
Crazy, right?
