When exactly was it that I became a hero? When exactly did I ask for powers? I mean I guess there isn’t a person alive who’s never wondered about what it would be like, but nobody would want to take the deal I ended up with. A dead father and a mother whose status is currently unconfirmed. I know MY problems aren’t really the worst of them, but I can’t just act like it’s nothing to spare the feeling of others. We’ve all got our own crap to deal with. I’m just glad there are others who kind of understand.

Don’t think I’m just sitting around complaining. That would be childish and stupid. At least I think it would be. But the point is in this world where villains rule and heroes are pretty much nonexistent I’m just one of a small group of the current and apparently newest generation of heroes. And one way or another we’re gonna take back what’s ours and save the world before anyone else ends up suffering like so many already have. At least… That’s the plan.

Tyler zoomed through the open space of the training room. He dodged each blast and obstacle which came in his way. “Pick up the pace! You think this is gonna be enough to really handle yourselves out there?!” A loud yet somewhat scratchy voice called out. The battle drones kept coming at the small team of young heroes. The old man behind the controls only amped up the levels on it.

“Hey chill out Wolverine. We don’t want ‘em to die before they really get to get out there on the front lines.” A more feminine voice came from behind the old former hero. “We can’t afford to cut them too much slack Laura.” He answered calmly as he watched over them. Drones with blasters set to stun, others of different sizes for various forms of physical combat and of course the flying drones. Those were on Tyler’s, tail. “I don’t normally agree with him, but even I think we’ve gotta make sure they’re ready.” The Hulk said calmly as he towered over the two also watching.

“Guys! Anyone care to help?!” Tyler shouted. Sure everyone had their hands full, but one of the main points of the training exercises like these was teamwork. The worst part of it was it was 7AM and they’d already been at it for an hour. Well as far as training drills went this wasn’t the worst. Simulating a surprise attack while they were sleeping was just one of the many forms of drills the teens were subject to on a daily basis.

Still, even though it was tough, it was necessary. Their so-called mentors simply wanted the teens to be ready. If they weren’t who knew what could happen when they actually went out to try and bring down the horde of bad guys who had caused the world to deteriorate into the state it was currently in.

Gabriel growled lightly, his ice blue eyes flicking from drone to drone and locking on to Tyler. The drones flashed as their blasters charged a shot. Gabriel drew in the crisp white light of the training room and channelled green and blue, creating springs and a hard board underneath him. One of the training drone focused on him and violently charged, running ‘head’ first at the blue eyed teen. Gabriel unleashed the springs and he flipped gracefully over the drone’s body. Drawing in more blue, the teen fashioned throwing knives in between his fingers that he tossed at the drone that had just charged. The spring board crumbled into light and Gabe turned to catch the eyes of Tyler. Dilating his ice blue eyes, Gabriel channelled superviolet and created a wall visible to only him that he tossed between Tyler and the pursuing drones. The blasts hit the wall and the superviolet dissolved.

“Cheap trick” The Hulk grunted over the loudspeakers.

Gabriel’s eyes flashed red, denoting a violent shift in his manners. The cold constructs decayed quickly as Gabriel turned and growled. His eyes dilated till the pupils almost filled his eyes, he was able to see the ambient heat that existed in the air. Gabriel growled violently and drew on the red light in the room, crafting into a slick substance that tossed at the drones that soon turned on him after Tyler had been designated as a lower threat. Gabriel clicked his fingers, sending heat and a spark through the red goo that covered three of the drones. The goo ignited in a brilliant red flame that caused the drones to go haywire and crash into each other “How’s that for a cheap trick!” Gabriel grinned and turned to the on looking mentors.

Austin was actually somewhat enjoying the training. He tended to enjoy them, even with the hard work. He was beginning to tire, a dull throbbing beginning to form due to him using his powers. He kept on turning invisible, moving to another location quickly. He would turn back into visibility, before firing off several disks and turning invisible as guns fired towards him. He ran and jumped, landing and running across the drones heads, careful not to go in a straight line. He launched off of the last one, landing with a roll besides Tyler, turning visible mid roll, dodging around a few blasts before creating a small shield to cover him and Tyler on one side from the majority of the drones. His eyebrows were pressed together as he concentrated on holding the shield up. The majority of his powers were defensive, other than the disks. The wall almost replaced the wall of Gabriel's, yet held much longer as he concentrated. He could create domes, but those were extremely taxing and difficult to keep up.

The boy that bonded with the energy being know as Tesla summon him up from with in him. The only reason that he was in his human form was because of training was getting harder and harder and he need to recharge his battery so to speak. The boys body became electrified and in seconds his psychical form was no more. Tesla threw two balls of energy at the on coming drones that were poised to attack. After that he turned to survey the room quickly. He noticed that one of his team mates was emitting red energy and knew it was Gabriel. He also noticed that drones were head his way and Tesla had to act fast. He quickly grabbed one of the mounted guns from a destroyed drone and synced it to his energy form. The gun was now linked into his energy form which meant that he could for now control the gun and fire its rounds. He let off a set of rounds at the enemy that was fast approaching his comrade. Blasting them apart oil and parts sprayed everywhere. Tesla couldn't speak in his energy form so he gave a thumbs up or what looked like one at least. From there he hovered in the air and scanned the battle field again. He then saw a drone off to its self holding a device. Maybe that was one of the objectives set today. Tesla flew down and jumped into the drone. He fought to take over the drones body. After all these things were built by JARVIS but Tesla could make it do something. He made the turret on its shoulder pop up and fire at its head. Right before he did he managed to drag some information out of it. The drone was building a bomb. Tesla freaked because he had no way to communicate to his team now that the drone's head had been blow off. He groaned and jumped out of the drone. HE then picked up the bomb and imitated swallowing it. The energy from his form shorted the fuse like he was an EMP. He then went over to the far corner and surveyed the area again waiting to see if someone needed help.

Miya walked through the shadows. Exhaustion written all over her dirtied face. A black hooded cloak covered her body, the cloak hid her ripped white dress that had been ripped from the normal long tail of the goddess dress to a short ripped dress with the gold detailing along the top. Her feet were shoe-less, the ankle bracelets and gold necklace somehow still intact on her body. Her normally shining blonde hair was pulled into a braid to the side, pieces hanging out around her face and other places. Bags visible under her now dull blue eyes; bruises, dirt, and scrapes covering her body.

'I have to be almost there, mother and father said it was around here.' Miya thought. She was worn out and not in the best mental state, not after seeing her parents killed in front of her a month ago, and not with the balance being so off on this world. It affected her greatly seeing as she thrived off of the balance in the world she currently resided in.

'One last shadow jump. Imagine a room with heroes who would help me and whom I could help' Miya thought as she closed her eyes. Shadows enveloped her and soon she appeared out of the shadows in the training room. She opened her eyes and saw all of the people training, a small smile made its way to her covered face before she fell to her knees close to being unconscious.

Seeing as she was Miya, her body decided to shut down to get her to rest. The other teens would see only a figure who appeared out of nowhere in a black cloak that completely hid her appearance. If they readied an attack she wouldn't be surprised. She just hoped they wouldn't

Tesla noticed something out of the corner he was sitting in. A black figure dropped out of thin air. Surprised he realized that this was not part of the training. He went over to the lump laying on the floor dodging drones left and right while disabling them. He came up on it with a raised hand ready to fire a blast of energy. He moved it slightly with and energy tendril. The lump had a face of a girl and he was suddenly shocked because she looked as if she was freezing and was to the point of near exhaustion. He knelt beside her and knew he was doing the right think because no enemy in their right mind would stay looking for this base in the arctic, find it, then only to pass out moments later. He out stretched his hands over the girl and let some of his bio-energy flow into her. In his mind he kept thinking "I hope this works!" The energy kept flowing from him and he deployed a barrier to keep the drones away until she might wake. From where they were he didn't think that his mentors could see him or the girl that had dropped through the ceiling. She was also undetected because non of the alarms went off either. He made a mental note to fix that with JARVIS later.

Tyler smirked at Gabriel and Austin. "Nice assists." He said before looking around. "Alright. Let me out of here." He said speaking of the force field. He was ready to fly and he had a plan. Once Austin did as he wished he would fly up and begin to blast more of the flying drones having regained his composure. One... Two... Three... Tyler continued to count up in his head until he noticed Tesla tending to someone or something in the corner of the room. "Woah... Whats..." He Destroyed yet another drone before rocketing over and landing. "Tesla what going on?" He asked as he shot a few more drones keeping them at bay.

"Hey! What's goin on in there?!" Wolverine's voice boomed over the loud speaker. "You runts ain't done yet." He growled as he raised the difficulty. Obviously if he'd known of the situation he wouldn't have reacted this way, but none of them knew. This definitely wasn't a usual thing even for the rigors of training.

Energy, bio-energry began flowing into her body. She slowly reopened her eyes and pushed herself up. She slowly stood waiting for her strength to stand to return. Eventually she had gained enough energy and she looked at the two people. She removed her hood and smiled. "I finally found you guys." Miya said looking brightly at the two. Ignoring her sore, cold, exhausted muscles. "Watch out!" She said noticing a drone flying at Tesla. She ran and jumped, pulling her Yin sword out. The white sword was engulfed in a layer of shadows, the white still visible underneath it as she slashed through the drone and re-sheathed the sword.

Miya turned back towards them and smiled weakly, she then stumbled slightly and fell to her knees. "I pushed myself again..." she muttered before turning her attention back to the people. "Once we get out of here, I'll explain who I am but now doesn't seem to be a good time." Miya said pushing herself up again, her legs weak and shakey as she did so. Miya turned her attention to the room with all the drones.

Tesla buzzed a whistle in his energy form...letting his human side out a bit. He turned to Tyler and and made a shrugging motion. The girl couldn't push herself anymore and he understood what he needed to do. Tesla flew over to the window that wolverine and the others were looking through. He waved and knew that the man at the controls wouldn't listen so he was about to do something that was going to get him so rough one on one training with one of his mentors. He flew into the metal in found the circuts that lead to the control panel. He then EMPed the panel to shut it and the drones down. The panel went dark and the drones in the training room stopped. Tesla then went over to a speaker unit so that he could speak. He wasn't stupid...he wasn't about to come out and go human to talk to them after what he just did. "Hey can't you guys see that we have a guest that is hurt? Sorry but she might need medical attention and to be questioned?" He made it as a suggestion rather than a demand other wise wolverine would just have ripped the speaker unit out of the wall trying to get Tesla.

Mira was not unused to the early morning ambush drills. Early morning roll call, training, and then off to finish the day. Sometimes breakfast even came into the picture. Mira managed to blast one drone with and kick the other. She was trained to work solo, to depend on herself and only need teammates when you were clearly outmatched. Besides, working with other people often made them get in your way. As far Mira could tell, most of her teammates were useless anyway -their powers came from something other than the mutant gene. This meant she had to make what she had count. Pyrokinesis, 200 days remain. Mira noted this, and kept tabs on all her powers. It was a relaxing habit to do when she was bored. Like now, for example. She'd made her way through the drones, knocking down several before she noticed the group huddling around Miya. She joined them, quietly walking into the conversation. If she slipped up, her head would be on a platter...

Gabriel watched as his team rushed around hitting and destroying the drones that came at the teens. He pulled yellow from the light and pulled into a bright orb. The orb dropped from his hands and immediately released into a brilliant flash of light. The drones that rushed were suddenly blinded and Gabe simply walked away as Tesla and the others went to help the girl that had just dropped from the ceiling. Gabriel walked over and looked at her. His eyes were able to see the subtle nuances in peoples face the way others couldn't. Bruce Banner had told him during the small times he was able to rest these days that due to his uniquely mutated vision...Gabriel could tell more about people with the light on their face than most people could when trained in cold reading.

Gabriel looked at the girl, noticing the light didn't fall on her face properly. This caused a furrow in his eyebrows. Gabriel frowned a little at her as she returned to her feet after collapsing and put her arm around his shoulders. He put his hand on her back and gave her something to lean on "you aren't the average human are you?" He said in a soft tone, his eyes slowly icing back over to a clear blue colour before looking at the group "come on guys...lets get her out of here."

Miya watched as Tesla EMP-ed, "I will never get used to the type of technology you have on Midgard." She said in slight awe. "Well I guess to start with, I should introduce myself to you all then tell my story when the mentors get here." Miya said before giving them another weak smile. "I am Ianite Miyana Tempro. Please call me Miyana or Miya." She said before looking at the boy who was helping to support her. "That I shall explain to everyone at the same time. It is a long story..." Miya said before she saw the mentors come through the door and walk over to them, Wolverine was angry and it was obvious.

"What do you think you twerps are doing?!" He shouted at them. "Wolverine, do you not see the new girl?" Bruce asked looking at him, "Remember the teen who never made it, the daughter of Laila and Cronos Tempro? That would be her... She looks a lot like both of her parents. It's hard not to tell." Bruce said. Wolverine nodded realizing the truth. "Fine. But you are training extra-hard tomorrow." At the mention of her parents Miya felt a pang of pain in her heart but brushed it off. She was finally here and could finally be a part of the team.

"Wait... So... We were supposed to have another teammate?" Tyler asked calmly before removing his helmet. His uniform faded away and he ran his fingers through his hair. "Thanks for the info guys." He said as he followed the group which was currently being led to the infirmary. "Now isn't the time Tyler." Laura(X-23) said calmly. "I'm just saying. What if something had happened to her? What if she'd been captured or we got found out or something?" He continued to question before Wolverine shot a glare at him. "Listen kid. If you don't wanna trust us to make sure you're all alright then you might as well be out there on your own." The man said calmly as they reached the infirmary. Tyler shrugged. Whatever. The teen though as he grabbed a chair for himself by the bed Hulk motions for Miya to be brought to. The group was all together and J.A.R.V.I.S. could definitely hear anything that was said as well.

"So. Miya.Tell us this long story of your's." Tyler said as he relaxed himself a bit. "No. Only tell us what you're comfortable talking about for now." Laura cut in. It was necessary for them to know as much as possible, but for now what was important was allowing Miya to regain herself and then later on Laura and her could speak in private and she could pass on any extra info so she wouldn't have to do so. Tyler held his helmet tightly. He didn't even put it down as usual. Not unless he was in his room or something. It probably just seemed like he was paranoid. But there was more to it than that. Of course, since nobody knew of it's importance other than helping him use his powers they probably wouldn't get why he held onto it so tightly and dearly.

JARVIS came online in the med room off which was becoming over crowded. Good thing he didn't take up any room. "Good morning everyone. Please stand back from the bed." JARVIS activated a holo med scan that was equipped on each medical bed. Another stark tech/ironman creation that helped Tony out of a few scraps. JARVIS's AI had learned a few things since Tony had passed and had retrofitted this tech to the beds to make sure the team members could get the proper attention. The scan only took seconds and distracted the scannee long enough to take some blood. "Asgardian detected. It has been some time since an Asgardian has been on Earth. Welcome Miya. You have official been added to the database. Exhaustion and a bit of a cold due to being out in the cold for so long. Good thing you are among the godly race. Recovery time should be very short for you." JARVIS had ordered a service bot to bring in some chicken soup and water and soon the bot came rolling in. "Miss Miya this is the remedy I suggest. Please get well soon. Young ones please report to the breakfast area when finished here." JARVIS stayed online in the room just in case but started up breakfast in the kitchen area.

Tesla was in his room fiddling with a piece of tech really quick. It was a face plate from an old ironman suit. Since Tesla couldn't talk in this form he had to make due with making something that could help. He finally finished it and put it on. "Hello?" It worked so he jumped up and flew down the hall and halted at the med room. "Hello everyone." He wondered if anyone would be shocked that he was talking but right now he didn't care. He was focused on the girl on the bed. "How are you feeling?"

Mirs didn't get what all the fuss was about until JARVIS Miya said the new girls was, in fact, Asgardian. Interesting. She'd thought they'd all fled after the Leader had taken over. If Mira hadn't heard it from JARVIS herself, she wouldn't have believed her. So she waited, listening to the others ask the new girl about where she came from and why she was here. This was an interesting development, and what was even more amazing was that Wolverine and the Hulk knew about her. She apparently was a lost one.

Mira was silently glad to have left before she had to fight the Asgardian. As much as she knew that the Leader wouldn't allow someone who would lose, she still didn't want to take that chance. Then Tesla flew in, and talked. "So... I'm guessing that the mask is new, Tesla." her attempt at sarcasm fell flat. Saying one thing but meaning another had never been a strong suit of hers, and she knew that it hadn't changed with all that had happened. Mira knew that she wasn't trusted, and as much as she hated the feeling, she was waiting for someone to stick a knife in her back.

(Well lets move on. I figure this will be a good start up again so that we at least know Miya is still here and we don't stay in this spot forever.)

Before Miya could actually speak and answer any real questions Laura(X-23) Was on her feet and practically shoving everyone out of the room. It was an odd sight for sure. hell she even force Wolvie and Big Green out. "I know everyone has questions, but for now I think the best thing to do is to let her rest. I'll stay with her. And whatever information she is comfortable giving I'll get. But right now crowding her and possibly freaking her out isn't going to help anybody." She said calmly. Then she shut the door. And asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to lock the damn thing.

So... We've got an asgardian, an interrupted training session... And Tesla is talking... As the final thought crossed his mind it almost seemed like Tyler could hear a record scratching to a halt. "Wait... Tesla? Um... Dude?" He asked a little weirded out now that he finally realized. Tesla talking wasn't a usual occurrence. Still... In a new life where weird things happened constantly Tesla talking wasn't something he expected to happen. At least not for a good while.

"Alright kids..." Wolverine said with a sigh. "You all go get some grub and me and Hulk are gonna go over working on getting another training session together." He snarled a bit annoyed with the turn of events. Still Wolverine at least cared. he pushed them hard to make sure they were ready. "Stay on your toes." Hulk then said before following Wolverine.

Tesla had turned towards Mirs and was about to explain that in fact it was new, he got no sarcasm in this form, until they were pushed out the door. this left his question unanswered but Tyler chimed in on him as he had exited. "Yes Tyler!!?" Tesla exclaimed with glee. "Is there something you need to ask?" He continued as everyone was finally pushed into the hallway. Wolverine Had spoken about food and he could tell that his human was growing hungry so Tesla started to float down the hall to the cafeteria. "We shall converse later now that I can. I must refill the human." He continued to float away from everyone and went to the cafeteria.

J.A.R.V.I.S. locked down the area to keep the Asgaurdian safe and under medical attention. He would run tests later but right now she was unresponsive. He set the room to a comfortable degree and went else where to carry out various things around the base until someone called upon him.

Miya was becoming overwhelmed by everything. She watched as they were all ushered out of the room and only one woman was left. She looked at the woman before looking at the food and water in front of her. She picked up the food and drank the soup in one motion, not chewing or anything. The amount of time it has been since she ate real food. She then also downed the water and looked back at the woman. "What do you want to know? Ask me anything and I'll answer if I'm ok with it." Miya said simply, she felt comfortable with this woman. Miya hadn't trusted anyone for awhile but she felt that she could trust this woman.

"Well... You're... Talking..." Tyler said rather confused by the turn of events. It wasn't something he understood very well. Nor was it something he actually had expected to happen. But then again with the tech and things that were possible with the tech it shouldn't have come as such a surprise. Then Tesla said something about refueling the human. Food right? Yeah... Wolverine and Hulk mentioned it too. "I guess we could all use a little food." Tyler finally said with a sigh as he headed off to the dining hall. He was hungry after all. Nobody really needed to tell him twice to eat.

---

Laura took a seat beside the bed and nodded calmly. "Why don't you just start from the beginning and tell me anything you can think of or are comfortable with?" She suggested speaking in a calm tone, keeping her relaxed demeanor. "And after that we can move on to questions." She added.
