Fire

Chapter One

My name is Antonio. Antonio Lopez.

I'm a fire user and the leader of this family. We are a team just trying to survive in a world that isn't always the kindest. With our powers, go we go to different cities trying to protect citizens. Whether that be helping people of all ages and genders at a trial or even helping groups with extra protection at peaceful protests.

There's Rachel, she's just under five feet tall but messing with her is a bad idea because she's a very feisty air user. She had strawberry blonde hair that reached her shoulder blades, with bright and lively hazel eyes, and is rather skinny though probably could out eat any professional eater. She is also a second generation American, both sets of her grandparents are from China and she passes as Asian.

Then you have Maria Jose, but we all call her Kote, who was very quiet but a powerful earth user. She had hair as dark as black ink that reaches her waist and almost always in a braid because the thickness always got in the way. Her eyes that are this cloudy sky blue, she is also of medium built, and could out last a majority of people in any physical activity. Even though she has blue eyes, she is hispanic. Though, because she was abandoned as a young child, she had no idea where she actually from.

Finally, there's Josh who was the water user and probably had the weirdest collection of personality traits. His weird personality is reflected in his looks as even though he was a teenager he has salt and pepper that had the sides of his head shaved and the top long enough to put into a good sized bun, crazy bright green eyes, dimples, and a smile that would make anyone swoon.

We mainly work in the mainland and get paid with food and shelter by the very people we are helping. Every once in awhile, when we needed cash we would be basically guns for hire by police but without the guns. We are also security for hire. The money we make helps us pay for the headquarters we have. There were about 20 to 30 people who lived in the headquarters.

These 20-30 people that make up different teams that do different things. We were generally referred to as Rogue Outcasts, or RO for short.

See, the thing is I see the effects that this does to people. I want people to be safe and protected. It's been a long road of trying to make this organization work, but we're doing it. The government hasn't been much help though.

There is this high ranking official who is trying to make us out to be an uncontrollable gang of teenagers and that we have no idea what we're doing. I mean, we don't have everything figured out by at least we're trying to change things. I think part of it is that young kids are idolizing us, and they have some kind of representation because we are diverse.

This politician, his name is John Smith. I know it's weird someone actually has that name but whatever. This guy is everything I have grown to hate in a person, he's a hyper masculine douchebag that thinks anyone different from him is unnatural. What makes it worse is that this guy is the Secretary of Defense which is not only in charge of defense, employs thousands of civilians, but also is an advisor to the President.

The President though is smart enough to look past the reason why Smith thinks that I am, dangerous. The President name is Heather Moore and she is the first female president. She also happens to be married to a woman.

I once had a conversation with her about what my group does and she told me that no matter how much good we were doing, one scandal no matter how stupid it was could fuel Smith and actually shut us down. She also talked about how hard it's going to be to not just completely callout Smith but the work we were doing was more important, that keeping people safe was more important.

Weirdly enough, she met me at our headquarters which was a seven story building. Our headquarters outer walls were beige though also had tinted windows from the floor to the ceiling on the even floors. There was also an underground level where the gym and training center were. We gave President Moore a tour of most of the building and seemed pretty amazed at the fact the group of about 25 young adult was able to save up enough to build such a headquaters.
