"That's crazy!" Jack exclaimed, bolting out of his chair. He started pacing around the room, running a hand through his curly hair. "Thi-this, is a complete suicide mission!" he stammered.
Ryan turned his head from watching the riled up boy, to face Dr Emily.
"Hate to agree with Mr. Paranoid over here, but he's right Doc. We're no heroes," he said shrugging his shoulders. "We can't be heroes."
Isla leaned forward, putting her head in her hands from the ridiculousness of the situation. "Jesus, this sounds like some marvel crap my nine year old brother watches," she murmured.
"Um, ouch?" Eric protested towards Isla.
Four teenagers ( who haven't talked to each other in years) are forced to save the world. Mix in love, clashing personalities and extremely inconvenient superpowers. What could go wrong?
