"You're gonna wanna aim for the vital areas when in a fight okay? You can hit 'em anywhere, but these points are extremely important for making quick work of an enemy." Drew said, pointing at a chart that was hanging on the wall. Cooper was lying on the ground, breathing heavily with his face covered in sweat. Mollie was standing next to him, hunched over with her hands on her knees.
"I was only planning on talking to Rhodes, not training today." Mollie huffed.
"Too bad. You think bad guys are gonna wanna sit and talk?" Drew asked.
"I'm wearing jeans! Do you know how hard it is to move around in them?" Mollie asked, extending her arms out in a 'are-you-kidding-me' manner.
"Like I said, bad guys won't care. They'll wanna kill you. Jeans, a skirt, leggings. Doesn't matter. You have to be ready for a fight at all times." Drew said.
"But, we have powers." Cooper said, slowly sitting up. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and pointed at the chart. "Can't we just run or teleport away from the conflict."
"Sure, if you wanna be a little-"
"Okay! You guys are gonna be sedated now." Kayleigh said, interrupting Drew's sentence. Mollie and Cooper groaned in unison as Drew pulled his tranquilizing gun out of it's holster. Not even giving the two a chance to grab their things, he fired two shots quickly and hit both in the arm.
"I hate-" Cooper began to say before falling backwards and landing with a loud thud. Mollie fell as well, leaving Drew to carry them out to his car.
"They did good today... despite the complaining." Drew said, looking over at Kayleigh. Immediately he noticed a look of worry on her face. "What is it?"
"I know the mission... and how things have to be. But, talking with them. Watching over them constantly. I almost feel... responsible for them. As if I care for them." Kayleigh said, looking down at the two unconscious teenagers.
"Put your feelings aside. The mission comes first Kayleigh. We can't fail another one or we'll be on the chopping block." Drew said, walking over to Cooper's unconscious body and grabbing him by the feet. "Go and clear your head. I'll handle these two."
"Yeah, sure." Kayleigh said, pouting as she turned around and made her way to her office.

The weekend had gone by quickly and it was another boring Monday for students across the world. Javi was walking the halls, going right past his locker and towards Professor Romero's classroom after being told his teacher would like to speak with him. Walking quickly down the hallway, Javi saw Darnell and Michelle talking with each other. He felt a sudden pang of guilt in his chest, realizing he hasn't really been keeping up with them like he should have been.
"They don't understand though. I have a lot going on." Javi whispered to himself. He shook his head, getting rid of the negative thoughts and entering the classroom that belonged to the psychology teacher.
"Ah! Mr. Vasquez! Please come and sit." Professor Romero told Javi once he saw him enter the room. Javi walked to the front of the class and sat down in one of the desk right in front of Romero's desk.
"What's going on Professor? Is there a specific reason you wanted me to meet with you before classes started?" Javi asked. Professor Romero took his glasses off, setting them down on his desk and rubbing the bridge of his nose with his pointer finger and thumb.
"Yes actually." Romero spoke, taking a deep breath. "It's come to my attention that you've been spotted a lot recently with Mr. Summers."
"You mean Danny? What about him?" Javi asked.
