Heroes without Masks

Chapter 13

Dr. Kellie looked at her six teens as they sat in silence. She remembered before they took off, they had another secret meeting in Heath and Lilia's room again. Dr. Kellie knew no matter what she would do to keep them in line they still listened to their two leaders; Heath the muscle and Lilia the brain. Dr. Kellie sighed as she returned to the road as her brother-in-law drove them to the Hero League HQ. "You are all so quiet." She said with a simple smile, Lilia stayed quiet, as Vee spoke for the group, "You know; we're all just nervous." Violet or Vee was the group's odd little glue, she would speak for the group when Lilia wouldn't. Yukii knew better than to speak at this moment, she had the sharpest tongue out of her girls.

Yukii was odd since she as the key that had helped them stay human, unlike the boys. Yukii's family to the girl's powers serious, and trained them in martial arts. The girls were never going to tell her, but she looked into their backgrounds and found Yukii's family had sent the girls to Japan every summer to study a different form of martial arts. All owned by Yukii's family or by one of their friends. Thus, why the girls know Japanese, it is their second tongue. Lilia's grandparents had given the girls tutors in manners and other business skills, what the girls did to Dr. Kellie's sister wasn't them simply playing around because they know Lilia has money, they saved her sister from being drowned in debt due to the larger amount of money they would get sued for.

Lilia and Yukii at first seemed like they only brought something to the table they called a forced friendship. It was until Dr. Kellie unleased Violet's family secret, Violet believes her sister is just working for a major fashion company, unaware she is the most notorious American Mafia leader. The bakery is the secret branch office outside of California, they plan on keeping Violet out of it until they have confirmed that she and Ryan will be a forever couple. Her father has already introduced the idea to the family head: his father. Which is why Ryan has a part-time job in the bakery.

This is a reason why all of Dr. Kellie's boys have suddenly broken away from each other and started working more with the girls. Tucker doesn't tell his friends anything about going to the Yamada house and working in the dojo. He had already asked her father about an apprenticeship in Japan under the Yamada house. Heath even though Abigale Riverside doesn't approve of him, James Riverside does, he had been working with the CEO of Riverside Toys and has already along with Lilia started working on their own dynasty. Lilia already knows but doesn't tell him that she does.

Dr. Kellie knows these six will become heroes, but not under the Hero League, Lilia will refuse to follow their strict hero rules. She will refuse to become a part of another experiment, and Heath won't let them. He's already been one of them and refuses to return to them. Dr. Kellie knew all along hiding from the Hero League was the best thing she could have ever done the six has stayed safe from each predator; the government which could be seen as a lion that doesn't care it just devours them. The Hero League is like a snake it doesn't show itself; they stay hidden and strikes you where you are dependent on them the ones they've hurt through the years has only piled against them, which is why they are so eager to have Dr. Kellie's beautiful mistake in their hands.

The car stopped as Dr. Kellie look over the looming skyscraper. The first eight floors are a normal business, with normal humans and renting their office spaces. The 42 floors are filled with heroes. "Thank you, but we can take it from here." Her brother-in-law nodded, as he returned to the car, they all slowly entered the building. Lillia found it normal to be in a larger building like this, so she stood out, and people recognized her. The whispers weren't really whispering, "It's Lilia Riverside the heir to the Riverside Toy company, you'd be set for like working alongside her." Dr. Kellie nervously went up to the front desk. "I'm here with these six teens to meet up with Louis Willow-branch." The code name for the woman at the desk to send you to the hero floors.
