"#To all my people on the dance floor set it off, We running hot we about to get low set it off, And if you're sexy and you want more set it off, Yeah, yeah set it off!, Yeah yeah set it off!#" A dance group sung as they danced before forming a line as the youngest dancer, who had been in the band since before he could sing, soon jumped into the hands of his fellow dancer, who uses his hands as a bouncing pad, making him roll before placing his hands on the shoulders of another fellow dancer, then bounced off of them, coming up to the final member while somersaulting.

Unfortunately, the dancer miscalculated where he have his hands placed, and the young dancer barely touched the fingers before ending up on the stage floor, his left knee landing first. As soon as he had gotten into a fetal position, clutching his now broken ankle, the crowd gasped at the sight of the young dancer being injured. "Oh, Cole, I'm so sorry!" The dancer that the young member was supposed to land to said as he and his fellow dancers knelt down to him before two of them pick him up to escort off the stage with the crowd looking on in concern, except for one.

3 Years Later

That day ended Cole's career as a dancer and singer. The fall had fractured his tibial plateau, and had to have pins put in it and a cane to walk. His father, an esteemed former acapella dancer, was more disappointed than concerned upon learning the news, and called Cole a disgrace to the Brookstone Legacy. Angered at his repugnant behaviour, Cole's mother, a child advocate lawyer, filed for divorce, restraining order against her now ex-husband, and gained full custody of their son, who started going by her maiden name. All those court cases forced him to leave New York City. "Come on, Cole, we gotta get going if you want to make it to that field trip to OsCorp." Cole's mother called out.

"Coming, mom!" Cole replied from inside his room. His room was complete mess. He had some clothes lying about, fan and recommendation letters, and soda cans. He was currently sitting on his bed, in black sports shorts, strapping on his knee brace, grabs an orange t-shirt and sneakers, puts them on, and heads out, grabbing his cane as he did so.

(A/N: As you saw in this prologue chapter, Cole is a former teen singer and dancer, who suffered a knee injury that terminated his upcoming career, his father is the only one not happy with it, and his mother is alive in this story. If you think I should've approached it differently, don't be shy to comment. Also, the song Cole and his group sang is called Set it Off, singer and dancer Timomatic)
