Super Power Academy

ALEX

I woke up in my dorm with my friends giving me disapproving glares. I started to look around and noticed that I had froze the room, again. I rubbed my face, and felt a crystal like material. I realized that I had been crying, and froze it too.

"Hey Alex," said my crush Aimée Roux. "Can you, like, thaw the dorm?"

I stared in awe. She had the most dazzling lightning blue eyes. And how her hair style, it was amazing. I still try to decide if it was a wig or not. Her shiny gold hair looked like the actual metal. She controls light and electricity. She was about the same height as me. She also was the "spunk" in our group. Best of all,she always wore it with in a braid, which made me blush so bad that I looked like a rose. Then there was my roommate Kazuto Alburn. He had the blackest hair I've ever seen. He also had the greyest eyes in the world. He is the muscle of the group. He has the power to manipulate fire to his will. The instructors say that his powers are not limited to simple flames. He has all of the Legacy, Gadget, and Mutant girls after after him. Then there's his secret admirer Emily Charles. She was born blind, but received powers when she went to a cavern. No one knows how, they say it was a genetic mutation. But now she controls stone, precious metals, and plant life. Her eyes were a jade green, allowing her to see in the dark. They've turned into cat eyes, which astound me. In the light they seem golden. Our doctors here say that she would end up looking like a Neko character. If you don't know what that means, she'll have a tail, and ears of an animal. I said it must be a cat because of her eyes. Her skin was dark, like a coffee. And her hair was a deep black coffee color. Then there's me. I have platinum blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and very pale skin. When I was born, they thought I was an albino child. Until I froze the room. Then they put me into isolation until I was 4, when I had more control over my powers. I thawed the room. This was a trick I recently learned because I had froze Aimée when we were sparring. I had a panic attack. That blew my chances of becoming normal. You know, super hero wise. We're all 12, we're marked as protégés.

We started walking down the hall, today was the day where we get our outfits. Since we're still marked as protégés, we don't get outfits as provocative as the older students. Once I get out of the changing room I frown and look at my arms and back. A black and teal arctic thermal jacket covered my tattoos of a blue sun, star, and crescent moon. The sun was on my forearm around my shoulder. It gave me the strength to stay in the dark. Then I have a star on my back, under the nape of my neck, to remind me that even in my darkest times, I'll always shine. Lastly, I have a crescent moon on my left arm. It proves how much I have changed, through the years. I really didn't mind the blue jeans and and teal snowflake sneakers. As I walked out my fight instructor, Quaker, tossed a handle at me.

"What is this?" I asked. "How does it work?"

"Name three weapons," said Quaker. "The first ones that come to the top of head"

"Bow and arrow," I said. "Spear, and sword. What does that have to do with this Handle."

"Act out the stances that you would use for each weapon." Said Quaker.

I did. Each time I did, the stance I used, summoned an ice weapon. I ran off into the dining hall, knowing that once we got our outfits, the candidates for the choosing will be revealed. Finally! I thought. I can use a weapon. I have to show Aimée, Kazuto and Emily. Once I got into the dining hall, I saved spots for my friends, anticipating their arrival.
