"How was everyone's rest week?" Ms. Husley asked as the entire class took their seats. "(Y/n) your injuries seem to have healed quite nicely." I shrug off her observation, and just stare at the front of the class. "Okay well class, since you all did so well during your first assignment, Principal Mann decided to give you all special assignments." The whole class groans. "Today you will all be paired with a hero!" Her eyes light up. "Isn't it exciting, getting to work with a hero this early, this is usually a assignment we give out closer to the end of the year."

"Hey (y/n)." Noah taps on my shoulder. "This is going to great, which hero do you think we'll be paired with?"

"I don't know, and I don't care." I turn back around. "Honestly, pairing us up with heroes this early, it almost spells disaster." Two hours after Ms. Husley made the announcement, everyone in the class headed to where they were supposed to meet with their assigned heroes.

"I can't wait to find out who our hero is." Noah's excitement grew every minute.

"You've been saying that for the past two hours." Ashley stated. "Has He always been this annoying?"

"Yeah, but he was the only kid I liked when we were younger." I looked down the street as the wind blew flyers for a local play, through the air. "By the way why did Husley stick you with us?"

"Because that Creep Ty skipped class." Ashley placed her hands on her hips. "Doesn't matter to me though, you guys, well you at least, are cooler then he is."

"Do you think it could be Powerman, Maybe it could be Alucard." Noah drones on.

"So what do you think about this whole hero thing?" I ask.

"It seems like a waste of my time, there's nothing I could learn from some dumb hero, I don't already know."

I hear loud foot steps followed by loud panting, coming from behind the three of us. "I'm sorry I'm late." The man in the red and orange hero costume took in a deep breath. "I'm..."

"Nova!" Noah's eyes grew wide, and I could almost see him getting ready to explode.

"I see someone's a fan." Nova smiles through his mask.

"Only your biggest, I've been a fan of yours since I was a little kid."

Nova laughs. "I'm honored." He notices Ashley and I. "Are you two fans as well?"

"Not a chance." Ashley said.

"Oh well, that will change before today is over."

"He's full of himself isn't he?" Ashley says.

"Aren't most Heroes?"

"You got a point."

"So to start things of properly, allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Nova, N to the ova." Nova laughs.

"I already hate this guy." Ashley mutters to herself. "I'm Ashley Newman."

"I'm Noah Whited, it's nice to meet you Mr. Nova."

"Like wise Noah. Now how about you." Nova looks at me.

I roll my eyes. "I'm (y/n) (l/n)."

"It's good to meet you three, I look forward to being your mentor for the next year."

"Year!" All three of us say.

"Yes!" Noah cheers.

Ashley and I both sigh and groan.

"Now first things first, why don't we get to some real hero work."

"Now we're talking." Ashley says, slightly amused by the thought.

"This is not what I had in mind!" Ashley chucks her sign into the street hitting a guy on a bike. "When he said hero work, I thought he meant fighting people, not flipping a sign for a burger place, what even is a burger palace, I've lived here for eighteen god damn years and I've never even heard of this place!"

"I set my sign down, it's not what I had in mind either, but at least Noah seems to be enjoying this."

"What in hell is he doing anyway?"

"Nova has him helping old ladies cross the street."

Before Ashely could come back with a smart ass reply, an alarm goes off catching both of our attention.

"Where is that coming form?" She asks.

"I think the jewelry store."

"Where's Nova?"

"He went to his bank and I haven't seen him since."

"I guess we're gonna have to do something about it then."

"It would seem so." Ashley and I start to run towards the store when we both realize the same thing. "If we use our powers without costumes on, every villain in the damn city will know who we are."

"These should work." Ashley grabs two bandannas and a two pairs of sun glasses off a rack and throws money at the clerk as we run by her stand.

"Put all the gold and diamonds in the bag now!" The black cloth covered douche said as he waved a gun in the shop keepers face. "Hurry up old man!"

"Hey talk dark and scary why don't you let me shove that gun, where the sun don't shine?" Ashley asked revealing us.

"And who are you two supposed to be, members of the Jessie James gang?"

"Was that supposed to be an insult?"

"My names is um..." Ashley looks back at me. "Shit I don't have a hero name yet."

"Try Phantom."

"Phantom really?" I shrug my shoulders.

"Let me try this again. My name is Phantom, and this is... Excalibur..."

"And let me guess you and your little side kick are here to stop me from robbing this store." I make a small cut on my finger.

"You couldn't be more ri..." Ashley grows a puzzled look, after I punch the robber guy in his face, knocking him into a shelf.

"I'm no one's side kick." The blood surrounding my fist going back into the cut. "Looks like we're done here."

"You know I would be pissed you took him down without me getting to do anything, but if you beat him with one shot, he wouldn't even be worth my time."

"T-thank you both." The old man behind the counter said. "It's Phantom and Excalibur, right?"

"Yeah guess that's the names we're going with."

"Thank you both so much. This man and his gang have been harassing us shop keepers for some time now, but none of the other heroes will do anything about." I notice a tattoo on the guys right wrist. I guess that must be his gangs logo.

"Well unlike the other heroes, the two of us are a whole new breed."
