A few hours after scaring the shit out of the entire school by cackling like they were crazy, Jonah, Zach and Alecto were sitting in their Literature class; a class they just so happened to share with their future victim, Gizmo. From their place in the uppermost tier of seats in the lecture hall-like classroom, the trio glared holes into the back of the short boy's head, barely paying attention as the teacher did roll call.
"Jonah Binx?", the teacher called out boredly, clearly very exhausted despite the fact it was already eleven o'clock. Jonah was quick to respond.
"Here.", he said absentmindedly. The teacher checked off a box on his piece of paper and moved on.
"Zachary Zatara?"
"Here.", Zach said as he continued to stare at Gizmo (who was now sweating profusely, having realized that he had three sets of very displeased eyes on him).
"Alecto Fowle-Shimura?"
"Present.", Alecto practically growled. The teacher checked another box.
"Mikron O'Jeneus?", the teacher said. Zach and a few others started snickering at the name. They had all heard it before at some point, but that didn't change the fact that it sounded stupid.
"Who the fuck names their kid Mikron?", Zach whispered. Alecto and Jonah snickered along with him, and Gizmo, very much irritated that the teacher hadn't used his preferred villain name (something he always seemed to be doing). He glared at the middle aged man.
"It's Gizmo.", the extremely short boy insisted with a twitching eyebrow. The teacher hummed disinterestedly and checked another box.
"Oh. My mistake.", the man said disinterestedly in a way that said he would most certainly not be using the correct name next time. Gizmo grit his teeth and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to act out and get detention in a school where fighting giant training bots was considered adequate punishment. Alecto however, as the star student, could get away with a lot more than he could, so when the teacher started his lecture on villains in literature, the blue haired girl threw a pencil at the back of his head.
"Ow!", Gizmo winced quietly. He turned around to give whoever threw the writing utensil at him a piece of his mind, but all the color drained from his tiny face when he realized he was being harassed by the H.I.V.E.'s witchier version of the Plastics. Who he had attempted to rob last night. Crap.
"When we get out of here, it is on sight fucko.", Alecto mouthed furiously, pointing to Gizmo and then her aggressively. That was all Gizmo needed to see to confirm he was getting his ass beat after class. And with no specialized gadgets made ahead of time to counteract his enemies abilities, he was screwed.
Double crap.

"Alright you little shit, you've got five seconds to tell me why you tried to steal from us again before I drop-kick you into this frog tank and make you into one of them.", Alecto hissed as she dangled the struggling Gizmo over the frog tank in the empty science lab by the scruff of his neck. She, Zach and Jonah were all standing on a desk to cement their superiority over the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs reject.
"I'll never talk, you assholes!", Gizmo said, trying to keep some of his pride by being defiant. That, unfortunately, would quickly come back to bite him in the ass.
"Five... ", Alecto started to count down as Jonah summoned a ball of magic pink light in the palm of his hand, taking his sweet time charging up his spell. That was all Gizmo needed to see to start singing like a canary-though an ugly-ass New York pigeon would suit his looks better.
