Youngsters: time to grow up

Chapter 3: Who Can Fly?

"Mission!" Vera yelled. "Please don't mess this up." She sighed walking over to Lillith's desk. The desk isn't really Lillith's but she recently decided to claim it. She rarely let anyone use it, Lillith just likes the authority.

"Who's going?" Leon asked as he left the training room.

"All of us." Vera walked over to a wall and held up her phone. Soon after some of the floor slid back to reveal a stair case.

"How did you afford this" Evan adds to the minimal conversation.

"Just like our elders, we receive funding from Grey." Lillith walked down the stairs and the others followed. At the bottom of the stairs was a hallway which had multiple rooms. The was a door at the back with a keypad lock.

"Here are your rooms and that is the main mission room and hanger." Lizzie looked around in slight disbelief while Evan handed Lillith a dollar. Leon just leaned against a wall looking at the door. "Also we own a jet. Can anyone fly one?"

"Yeah." Lillith raised her hand proudly.

"I can too." Evan mumbled.

"Lillith you'll be our pilot, Evan you'll be co-pilot." Vera speed walked to the keypad and typed in 1471. The pad beeped and the door unlocked. Vera opened the door and the others filed into the room.

"So what weapon does everyone use? Does anyone here have powers?" Evan inquired.

"I use my brain. I'm smart. But if that isn't what your asking I use a bo staff and I don't can phase through walls and stuff like that." Lillith informed the group.

"I don't have powers but I am great with blades." Leon boasted once more.

"I'm a mutant. I shoot small sharp crystal things out of my hands and." Lizzie breathed in and closed her eyes. Slowly Her body became a solid opaque black gem.

"Better than you, Leon." Lillith remarked and caused laughter from Evan.

"Oh do shut up." Leon spat back. The gem Lizzie began to crack and pieces fell off revealing Lizzie.

"Where's a cleaning lady when you need one?" Lizzie joked as she kicked the pieces of cracked gem shell on the floor.

"Rescue mission. Avengers are too busy fighting to help get civilians out of the way." Vera walked over to one of the alcoves on the wall. The room was fairly large. It had to be seeing as there was a jet in there. There was four monitors; one showing security for the building, one showing random parts of New York, one showing random bases throughout the globe and one showing the mission details. There were ten alcoves in the wall but only five were lit with a certain colour light.

"You each have you sections with weapons behind the wall is a changing with your outfits. Suit up." Vera said as she pushed on the section illuminated with a purple light. She walked in a closed the door so she could change.

"I'm guessing I'm green, Lizzie is red and I don't know about you two." Lillith walked towards the green one and pushed on it and entering.

"I must be yellow, I can see brass knuckles on the bottom of the weapon rack." Evan ran up to his and did the same as the other two. Lizzie looked at Leon.

"You're lime green. Lillith's is a lot darker and her weapon rack has a bo staff." Lizzie told him as they both entered their sections and prepared for their first mission.
