Teenage superheroes

(Meanwhile in Mr. Wright's classroom)

"May I ask you something?"

"What is it?" Mr. Wright asked.

"Why am I tied up?" Kage is tied up in a chair in the middle of Mr. Wright's classroom to serve his latest detention.

"It's so you don't run off."

"I thought my detention was supposed to be after school."

"It is, this detention is for dropping that can of paint on me you little punk."

"What makes you think it was me?" Kage asked.

"You left a note saying it was you in my office!"

Kage gave him a blank stare before replying. "Oh yeah. Now I remember."

"Right, now you're going to stay there until lunch hour is over."

"There's a problem with that. I've made previous arrangements with a friend to eat lunch together."

"Well, that's just too bad now isn't it?" Mr. Wright said as he picked up a chalk brush and began to clean the blackboard. "You know," he continued, "you're not the only one whose not enjoying this. I can think of other ways I would rather spend my lunch hour than watching you, Shirokimaru. You wouldn't have a detention in the first place if you'd just behave yourself. Instead you make problems for everyone and end up wasting your, and my, time in detention. Is any of this sinking in?"

Mr. Wright turned around to face Kage again only to see an empty chair and a pile of cut ropes on the floor. His face began to turn red with rage. he shouted,"GOD DAMMIT!"


(Wow, being able to make a teacher curse is really something, isn't it?)

"And who do we have here?" a short punk kid forced himself between Coden and Meribelle. His hair was spiked and purple, and he had a thick nose ring. The studded jacket and pants would look well on most, but on him it made it look like utter idiocy.

"Of course we have Coden, but we have this hot flier right here."
Meribelle looked at Coden with concern. "Umm... who is this guy?"

Coden rolled his eyes. "His name's Kyle but her refuses to answer to it. He's in my power control class."
She raised an eyebrow. "You mean he has an uncontrolable power too?"

Coden shook his head, a serious look on his face. "No. He just likes being evil."

A large blade shot out of the punk's wrist, right beside Coden's throat. "Hey, I was talkin' to the lady first, So u just shut up and don' move, got it?"
He turned back and smiled, exposing his rotting black teeth. "The name's spike. I am the most powerful of all the guys here."

A crowd had begun to gather around the table. Meribelle ignored "Spike" and continued to eat her hot dog. Spike extracted the other blade from his wrist. He pressed the flat of it to her face and turned it forcefully.
"Lissen to me when i talk, girl!"

Two sleek black swords shot between spike and Meribelle. Coden pulled the punk to the side, the two dark blades emanating from his hands.
"Come off it, Kyle, we don't need your antics!"

Spike kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the floor. "I said my name was Spike!"

The crowd began to chant fight, fight, fight, over and over again. Spike moved back over to Meribelle.

"Your friend is weak. I am the real deal honey. You know you want some."

Meribelle turned her head away in disgust. "Please. Turn your ugly powers off. I have already had enough of it today."

The blood rushed up to Spike's face as his anger grew. "Excuse me? Someone needs to teach you respect!"

He raised his hand to strike her. A thick black beam shot across him, smashing hard into his chest and sent him flying into the brick wall. Coden stood up, a red glow in his eyes.

"Don't try it, Kyle!"

Spike struggled to his feet. a small trickle of blood fell down his cheek. He felt it, and grew even angrier.
"you... you BASTARD!"

He lunged at him, plunging the blade into Coden's shoulder. Coden let out a gasp of surprise, and fell to the floor. Spike stepped on top of the wound, and pressed the blade to Coden's throat. "That is the last time you insult me!"

Nobody saw the blur lift him into the air. Meribelle pushed with all her might, her wings flapping hard. Spike's face changed from anger to fear as he saw how high he was.

"Put me down, put me down!" he cried, his eyes wide. Tears began to flow down.

"No problem!" Meribelle replied. A hard looked of determination took over her face. she flew higher and higher. Then, at her peak, she dropped him.

Spike fell fast, screaming and crying all the way down to the ground. He didn't noticed that Meribelle held him, suspended in the air just a few inches from the surface.

"Holy... holy...." He panted. Meribelle let him fall to the floor.

"Don't do it again." she said, and knocked him out with a hard punch to the back of the head.

Viamire was watching the incident from the other side of the cafeteria. She had to cock her head to see the fight. How can people be so uncivilized? And where are all the teachers when you need them?

"Well, looks like I missed something interesting."

Viamire turned back to her table and was a little shocked when she saw Kage sitting across from her. He still wore his usually blank expression. "Where did you come from?"

"Some say the stork brought me."

"No, I mean-" she stopped to take a breath to calm herself before continuing. "I mean right now."

"I just came from Mr. Wright's classroom. Also, sorry if I'm a little late."

After things began to calm down everyone was back to eating their lunches and talking with their friends. Viamire noticed that Kage hadn't eaten any of his food. "You haven't touched your food. Aren't you hungry?"

"Extremely."

"Then why aren't you eating?"

"If I eat I have to remove my mask. Ninja code forbids it in public."

Curious, she asked, "Ninja code? What's that?"

"Something about the rules everyone in my clan back in Japan has to follow." He picked up his hot dog as if to examine it. "Hiding one's identity is a big issue with ninjas. You know, secrecy and stuff."

Kage's eyes motioned to a nearby table. Viamire followed his gaze and saw Hannibal dropping food on someone's head and laughing. The bully noticed them looking and began to approach.

"Great, here comes the bully." Viamire said as she turned back to Kage. She noticed he wasn't holding the hot dog anymore.

"I heard that if you stand perfectly still they can't see you." Kage replied.

Hannibal came up and stood behind Kage, who was fiddling with the straw in his drink. "Hey there, little ninja. Can you do any ninja tricks? Why don't you do a trick for me, or are you just some cos-play wannabe?" Kage didn't answer. "What's the matter? Too scared to say anything? Heh, the little ninja is scared of me! Hahahaha!"

Kage turned his head and gave him a blank stare. "Huh?"

Hannibal frowned, "Are you even paying attention to me?"

"Not really. What were you talking about? Something about a giraffe?"

That set him off the deep end. Hannibal balled his hand into a fist and slugged Kage in the face. The force of the punch threw him off his chair and onto the floor.

Viamire slammed her hands on the table and stood up. "Stop this right now!"

Hannibal pointed at her. "You stay out of this or you're next!" He walked over to Kage who was trying to pick himself back up. "Not so tough now are you?" as said as he kicked him in the chest.

Kage's body exploded into a small white cloud of smoke. When it disappeared a hot dog had taken his place on the floor.

Hannibal's underpants jumped out from under his jeans in the style of a wedgie. He was lifted up into the air by an unseen force and hung onto a coat hook on a nearby wall by his underpants. Everyone laughed as he struggled to get down. Kage appeared in a poof of smoke in front of him.

"Not so tough now are you?" he said, mimicking Hannibal.

"You're going to pay for this you son of a- hey! Don't walk away while I'm talking to you!"

Ignoring the bully's threats Kage returned to Viamire's table. "Well, it seems things are starting to get noisy here. Why don't we find somewhere else where we can talk?"

"Sounds good," she said. She couldn't help but grin at how Kage managed to humiliate Hannibal in such a way.

Rage faded from Meribelle as she looked at Coden. He clutched his shoulder, keeping a scream in. Meribelle rushed up to him and knelt beside him.

The crowd had started to move away. One boy stood alone, a look of anger in his eyes. He strode up to Meribelle who was pressing lightly on his wound, trying not to look at the pain shooting through Codens eyes. The boy brushed his white jaw length hair behind his ears, his messy bangs fell over his composed face. He knelt down next to Meribelle and touched her shoulder. Meribelle gasped and turned around to his red violet eyes. "May I take a look?"

Meribelle nodded and handed over Coden. She shifted over to his side and stared down, sorrow in her eyes. The new boy held his middle and index finger over his wound. He shifted up his eyes back up to Meribelle whose wings drooped. "I need you to take his hand for me." Meribelle nodded and took his left hand. "Now, Coden is it? I am going to heal you but this will not be comfortable. Meribelle has your hand. Hold onto that and you will be all right."

The new boys skin turned from a light olive tan to a deathly pale. As he placed both palms over the injured shoulder the skin underneath started to glow. Cracking and stretching sounds overlapped Coden as he started to yell. The new boy continued to concentrate intently on Codens shoulder beneath his hand, acting as if he could not hear him. At last Codens skin closed up and revealed a white scar. Both Coden and the new boy were drenched with sweat and panting steadily. Coden smiled and stated, "I never knew fire hurt so much." as his head sunk to the floor.

Meribelles hand that held onto Coden was white from the pressure. The new boys skin slowly turned back to the light olive tan it was before he had healed Coden. Quietly he looked up at Meribelle and smiled faintly, "If you do not mind, I would like some water." Meribelle nodded and rushed off to get a bottle.

When she returned the school nurse was standing over Coden, a concerned look in her eyes as Coden hovered and sank into another hovering sling. "Excellent work Master Kai." the nurse said as she flicked her hand and walked towards the office with Codens bed in tow. Meribelle sighed and handed the water bottle to the healer. The boy started up at her, gratitude spread across his face as he chugged down the water bottle. "Thank you. My name is Kai, I just drove in this morning." Meribelle smiled and offered him a hand which he took without hesitation. "Meribelle. Thank you for saving Coden, he's the only friend I've ever known."

Kai smiled and looked to the office hall, "Glad to be of help. Should we go see how Coden is doing?" Meribelle nodded and started walking towards the hall when she heard a thump behind her. Turning around Meribelle saw Kai had fallen. Meribelle gasped and went to help him up, "Are you ok?" She asked.

Kai grinned, "Yes, but I need help." Meribelle smiled and pulled his arm up, wrapped it around her shoulder and held on. Kai leaned on her and started walking with her toward the nurses wing.

"As you saw, I have healing powers which sometimes get the best of me. What you did not see was my vision." Kai explained as they walked, "I can see through any kind of material if I just adjust my eyes properly."

Meribelle nodded softly, not wanting Kai to slip from her hold. He certainly was an interesting gifted. They had reached the nurses office and entered to see Mrs. Needlo, the nurse, tending to Coden who had not awaken. Meribelle guided Kai to a chair at the foot of the bed and sat him down. Kai sighed and leaned up against the back of his chair.

"Do you need anything Master Kai?" Mrs. Needlo inquired.
"No thank you." Kai replied.
"And you, Ms. Meribelle?"
Meribelle shook her head, she was only concerned about her sleeping friend. Kai saw so as he watched her concerned face.

((Ok Kai is going to be a secondary character of mine so I will post his bio when my laptop cools off))

Cedrick was sitting in the nurses office as a boy was brought in. He had a scar on his chest. "what happened?"

The nuse turned, "Spike."

Cedrick sighed. Then a girl with wings carrying a boy came in and sat down. The nuse asked if they needed anything but they declined. He got up and walked over to them "Over did it?"

"Yay," replied the boy.

"Here." Cedrick bit his thumb and made a symbal on his left hand. "this will feel alittle strange." He put his palm up to the boys chest. A second later marks began to flow over his body. Then they disipered into the boys skin. "Better?"

"Yes, thank you."

"I'm not sure we're supposed to be up here..." Viamire whispered hesitently, looking out of the doorway that lead to the roof of the school. Kage looked back from where he stood at the edge.

"We're not," he said. "Mr. Wright told me so."

Normally Viamire would have turned around right then and there, returned to her little comfort zone somewhere downstrairs. But the smile in Kage's eyes made her stop.

And the image of Mr. Wright ranting Kage out made her join him at the edge of the roof, smiling.

"How'd you find the way up here?" She asked, letting her hair fly loose in the soft wind. Normally she would have scowled and tuck the hair behind her ear. Normally.

Kage placed a finger to his masked lips. "Secret," he said, the mischief dancing in his eyes. Viamire grinned. When he sat down and dangled his legs over the side of the building she did the same.

"I like it up here," she said. "It's quiet...and the view is amazing." She stared over the grounds, taking it all in. "I had no idea it was this...this..."

"Big? Green?"

"Beautiful."

Coden laid back in the bed, concentrating on the ceiling. "Spike was the only one stupid enough to attack me in that mode. He was lucky to catch me off guard."

Cedrick turned back to his bedside. Meribelle looked up at him.
"What do you mean, 'mode?'"

Coden tried to sit up, and flinched. Meribelle gently pushed him back down. "Don't try." she said soothingly. "The wound may be gone, but the pain is still there."

Coden forced a smile. "I figured that much." He shifted himself around carefully, trying to pick a comfortable spot. Finally he gave up, and chose a spot looking at Meribelle.

"What I am saying is... Meribelle, did you see my eyes when I hit Spike with that blast?"

Meribelle nodded. "They had turned pretty red. But I thought that it was jsut the reflection of the sun."

Coden shook his head. He winced, and made a mental note not to move his head. "Well, like i said, the darkness can take over me. And everything had been placed just right for it. It was with a person I hate, going after a person I care about. Mix it together, you get a hell of a lot of anger."

Kage gazed into the distance and said, "Well, that's one way to put it."

Viamire suddenly realized that she never asked what his powers were. Sure she saw them first hand but she doesn't know exactly what they are. "Kage."

"That's me."

"What are your powers?"

Kage looked at her for a moment before staring back at the horizon. "Invisibility and duplication."

"Would you care to elaborate?"

"I can become invisible. That's really all there is to that power. My other power is the ability to duplicate myself."

"How so?"

Kage swung his legs onto the edge and stood up. "I can take a small object and turn it into a clone of myself." He took an eraser from his pocket and dropped it on the ground. In a large poof of white smoke it turned into an exact clone of himself. "But, one swift punch is enough to dispel it." He punched the clone in the face which made it turn back into an eraser in another puff of smoke. "I can make two of these clones at the same time."

He looked back to Viamire and asked, "What about you? What are your powers?"

(6th period)

Meribelle fiddled with her sleeves. She was surprised, no one had ever cared about helpless little Meribelle who always got in the way. She smiled, happy she had a friend.

Kai sat in his chair at the foot of bed, head propped up on his hands. He studied Coden with careful eyes. He liked this guy, he was good at explaining things and was very kind. "So, what is your power, Coden?"

Coden looked up, emitting a soft groan. He had just realized he had two visitors. "I can control shadows. Those blades you saw, they were made of shadow."

Kai nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at the clock and saw the time, almost half of sixth period was gone. "I better get going, I am not needed here." he looked at Meribelle, "A little birdie at the front desk told me we were roommates." Smiling, Kai tested his legs by standing up, waved, and smiled a farewell.

Coden watched Kai leave the room, "You better go Meribelle, I don't want you missing anything because of me."

Meribelle gave a little stubborn smile, "It's my fault you're here so I'm staying."

Coden smiled, happy she would stay with him. "Whatever suits you, ma'am" Meribelle laughed as he exaggerated the last word.

Cedrick was standing outside when the boy he healed came out. "You have an interesting power."

The boy spun aroung, "How so?"

Blood began ossing from his hands, "your alot like me."

"Ah Orion. I was just about to call you down here," the priciple said as Orion walked in.
"I came to find out about the sports and activities," she said to him, "Do they have soccer?"
"Unfortunatley no. The school board wants to have sports where they can express themselves. If you know what I mean," he replied. Orion understood perfectly. Only sports where powers can be used.
"As for why I was going to call you down here. I was recently told about you being insecure about your power or powers," the principle began.
"Powers?" Orion asked.
"Yes. Powers. I did a little research on your family and it turns out that your ability to control ice is only present in your family. And it just so happens that you happen to sound a lot like one of your ancesters. You see, Orion, what I'm trying to say is that you're pretty much like a goddess," he turned and stared at Orion. His beady little eyes seemed to bore into her mind.

(7th period)

meribelle and Coden enjoyed each other's company, ignoring time and just letting the good times run. Several times both Coden and the nurse tried to coax her into leaving,but stubbornly she refused. Coden finally gave up on the notion and just listened to Meribelle's soothing voice.

"What do you think our team name should be?" she said, playing with her hair. Coden's face twisted in thought.

"Shadow fliers?" he suggested. Meribelle rolled her eyes.
"I know you can do better than that." she said, poking him in the arm. He brushed her arm away playfully.
"Okay okay... umm..." Coden scratched his head. "I can't think with a dry throat!"

He reached for the glass on the table beside him. It was just out of his reach. He stretched as fa as he could without agonizing himself. He just couldn't reach it.

"Here, let me help." Meribelle stood up. Coden asked for her to sit down,

"I got this." he said. He waved his hand, and a little black person showed up. "See?"

Meribelle laughed. "You really have to teach me that trick sometime."

However, instead of picking up the cup, he began to drink it. "Crap!" Coden tried to swat the little silouhette away. It quickly jumped off the table, and dissapeared under the bed. Coden sghed in frustration. "Just great."

"Wasn't he supposed to bring you the drink?" Meribelle looked around the floor for the little person.

"I was afraid of that." Coden looked around the best he could. "If i overuse my powers, they will take over. Anything I desire, it does. But i have no control over it."

"So pretty much the little guy is going to go do what you desire?" She said, still searching.

"Pretty mu-." Coden saw the little man standing on Meribelle's shoulder. His eyes widened, and he shook his head at it, despite the pain. "Don't he whispered.
It gave a thumbs up back, and kissed meribelle on the cheek.

Kai looked at Cedrics blood which was slowly oozing into his palm. His eyes flashed violet for a second and went to normal. "Thank you for helping me earlier." Kai smiled, "Are you alright?"

Cedric shook his head, 'Nothing you could help with. I saw you got tired when you healed Coden."

Kai nodded, "I can give a little too much sometimes."

Cedric nodded thoughtfully and turned to leave, "See ya around."

"Bye."
-----
Meribelle blushed. The shadow also gave her a thumbs up and jumped to the floor. As he started running he disappeared into thin air. Coden hung his head, not looking at Meribelle.

A wicked smile swept across Meribelles face, "I wonder what would have happened if he were taller."

Codens emerald eyes appeared under his hair quickly and left just as fast. A small smile crept out into the open.

He looked up at her, and his smile grew larger. "that would be an interesting thing to think about."
