Just a Team of Teenagers

Nova

Nova is a girl with long neon pink hair and violet eyes. Her parents were astrologists and named her Nova doing to the bright colors of a supernova. Girls told her how pretty she was or how jealous they were. Boys on the other hand would sometimes tease her. The problem was Nova's short temper would cause her to get into fights with these boys. One day in first grade Nova was outside during recess jump roping. A group of rude boys were calling her pinky and strawberry. She punched one in the gut, kicked one in the shin, and wiped the third with the jump rope. However the third boy caught the jump rope and used it to pull her to him. She went to punch him out of habit but this time her fist was on fire. The brat was left with minor burns and his shirt was what mostly got burned. Ever since that day she could create and control fire. However on a second grade field trip she to a water park she found out it doesn't work if she is to get too wet. In middle school her parents tried sending her to a private academy to see if that would help her get into less fights but it was futile. Nova was now fifteen years old and a sophomore. She was in every type of fighting class imaginable karate, judo, mixed Marshall arts, boxing, etc. She also took every science class she could but favored the ones that were about studying space. She was more well known for her fighting skills and short fuse then her love of science. One day she was sent to the principal's office the second time that morning for getting into fights. "Nova you are a very smart kid and you have good grades. You are nice to the freshman unlike other sophomores. You were homecoming princess last year when you were only a freshman. With all of this in mind, explain how you are in some teachers eyes the biggest delinquent of the whole school!?" The principle questioned. "I'm not a mean person and I try to be nice to everyone but if some punk is going to insult me I'm just gonna punch him in the face. At least recently I've tried not to use fire indoors anymore. Sorry again about all those fire alarms I just can't think in the moment but I'm working on it." She explained to him. "Look Nova I just don't know what to do and I want to work with you not against you. However after over five hundred fights I can't just continue to give you attention. There is this crazy idealist who is making a program for teenagers with potential to make hero's reality. Our school was reached out to just in case there is any eligible students here that can transfer. I'm not trying to get rid of you but I think you should try meeting with him it sounds like a better fit for you." He told her. "Does it have normal school subjects or just a bunch of training montages? I like fighting but I also love science and not giving that up." She asked curiously. "I believe so." He stated before handing her the information of how to meet with this guy. Nova didn't want to transfer but she understood it would be a better fit. After school she told her parents about this idea and they supported it. The pink haired girl then took a bus out to this building the paper told her about. "I guess this is the place where I can find this Timothy fellow. Hopefully I don't set this place a blaze in my anger." She sighed to herself before entering said building. The pink haired girl went to the conference room where Timothy held interviews for candidates. She saw him sitting down at the end of table so she took a seat of her own. "So you are from Fresno highschool," The man spoke to her, "I did ask for that school to send a student. So you are Nova Stargaze?" "Yes I am." She nodded. "You also are a handful from what I can tell." He stated not looking up from the papers he was looking at. "Only when someone is asking for it," Nova sighed sick of people assuming that she is a straight up mean person, "Anyways all I care about is if this academy thing has a good science program." "Don't worry, it has the best of the best," He told her finally looking up, "If you are interested I would love to have someone with your magic but also fighting experience." "My whole life people got onto me about my short fuse and tendency to get into fights. If there is a way to make that not a burden why not try it." The pink haired girl smiled.
