=~•Roman's POV•~=
What the heck happened? Oh you have got to be kidding me. The stupid emo must have used fucking powers on me and Logan. He probably can't even control them and just got lucky. I lit my thumb on fire before looking around the dimly lit supply cupboard, to see Logan reading a book in the dark. Sometimes he confuses me greatly. Once he noticed that I was awake, he stood up abruptly which in turn blew out my fire. He walked towards the door before turning invisible and opening it. I got up to follow in hot pursuit but he slammed the door in my face.

It was 10 minutes till the end of last period, when I came out of the cupboard so I decided to just sit and wait for my boyfriend, Patton, to finish his class. Luckily, neither me nor Logan share his class so I wouldn't be lectured again for skipping once again. Time ticked by slowly as I waited for the bell to ring, Logan sat next to me on a bench in front of the school. We had all decided to pay a visit to J before we all head home. I had been getting a few calls from them recently about updates on the villains' kids and how to stop them.

J is around 5'9 but always added another inch or two by wearing long, black action boots. Their hair is always covered by an orange beanie that they never remove under any circumstances. At their back lays a pitch-black cape that they uses to be able to camouflage themselves in the shadows. They wore dark clothing along with random specks of orange in their outfit. Their face is unknown to everyone due to them always hiding their face behind a masquerade mask hiding their true identity. If I was to be honest, they fit my perfect idea of a villain, however, I have a odd sense to trust them with my life. As though my thoughts are not my own. Logan seems to trust them and he is very good with seeing through someone's bullshit. The bell rang, bringing me swiftly out of my thoughts.

Patton walked to the bench not long after, with his adorable, signature smile. I'm overjoyed that this innocent, little human is with me and I wouldn't trade him for the world. We began walking towards the base, all the way across the city. It was around 5 o'clock when we arrived to the apartment block. We walked into the building and were greeted warmly by J as we ventured through the hall. We stopped at one of the ground apartments, before walking in behind J. They closed the door as soon as we entered, then quickly dashed over to the kitchen where they hit a few tiles in a rhythmic pattern. The floor opened beneath them, causing them to fall through without elegance. Patton jumped in not long after, followed by me then Logan.

As I finished my descent with complete beauty, Logan didn't however and knocked me over before gaining his balance. He looked down at me with a smirk that he only wears when he did something rude on purpose. I waited till Patton began talking to J before flipping teach off. He sighed at my immature behaviour and walked off to join the other two. That bitch didn't even help my up! I pushed myself up, as I went to go join their conversation so I could tell J about my discoveries. J saw me and and quickly dismissed themselves from the conversation before joining me. If they were not wearing that stupid mask, I would most likely have seen a frown on their facial features.

"So you not only managed to fail killing Ophidian's child but also Crptic's. How?" they asked almost inaudibly. Their voice was sharp and furious. Who wouldn't be if your teammate had just let to villain kids get away.
"Both of them had used their powers randomly throughout the attempt," I reasoned with them, hoping they wouldn't see past my small lie. Sure powers were used against me in both incidents but I am not certain that them two were the cause. They seemed to by it, before grabbing my ear and bringing me to their level.
"Good thing we won't have this issue again as you and the other two will be ready, correct?" They hissed at me and in turn I gulped and nodded my head furiously. The thing is, I don't feel a slight bit of remorse for the emo and new kid and if what Logan said was true, I do t have remorse for my brother either. Speaking of my ear of a brother, where is he? I hadn't seen him at school but apparently Logan had.

I walked back over too my boyfriend and the other two who had been conversing whilst I had been thinking. J ushered me over with their hand, most likely to tell me something with the rest of the team. I sat down next to Patton, who in turn placed their head on my shoulder. Logan rolled his eyes at are antics but I could see he was upset about not having a relationship. He would deny it if I confronted him about this but I could see it in his lonely eyes. J began what they had wanted to tell us as I placed my hand on Pat's.
"I assume we are all aware of the new superhumans in your school, correct?" they began with a loud, powerful voice. The three of us murmured in agreement and nodded our heads in unison.
"Roman I am also sure you are aware that your brother works for another," they said tilting their head to the side sinisterly. I made a noise of acknowledgement as they carried on.
"I have reasons to believe that this person you brother speaks of is with the two kids. If this is to be the case, you will need to remove all of those who work for him and gain information before putting a stop to them. I will like this to be completed before Christmas. Am I understood?" they stared at us as we all quickly agreed. Today is the 2nd of September leaving us with 3 months and 23 days to complete this.

J left to the underground kitchen, leaving us three in silence, before Logan spoke up.
"I say we gain information separately from each of our peers. This or we can discover their base and 'sneak-attack' them, as I am aware of your brother's weakness of that exact tactic. This would be a useful strategy as he is the most experienced out of them three." I listened intently to his explanation and we all agreed the second plan was to be the one we use in this mission.

It was around seven when we departed from J's. I walked slowly in the general direction of where my house is, right before seeing three figures walking down the opposite side of the street. They were heading in the same direction as I was, using mine and my brother's short cuts. I stared at them and discovered who I was watching. It was them three. My brother, the emo and the snake. I watched them drop my brother off at home before walking with each other back to who knows where. Instead of walking into my house through the door, I used the wind to transport me up to my window.

When I walked into my room, I fell onto my bed with a thud. The last thing I remember thinking was:
'You got to be Donald ducking kidding me'
