Eden City High. Once just a completely ordinary school like any other. Until the incident. An unknown virus spread through the school, all of the students were knocked unconscious at exactly 2:37PM. They all awoke at exactly 2:37PM two weeks later in an isolated hospital.

While they were unconscious it was discovered that some of them were gifted with unique abilities beyond the bounds of ordinary human possibility. Superpowers. The school was remodeled to facilitate less students and with state-of-the-art facilities for both ordinary lessons and an underground floor for power development and combat technique. Many of the students, of course, were not gifted so, and they all got full scholarships to a prestigious private high school, most likely with some subtle payments to the owner of that school involved. It was predicted many students would try to become vigilantes, so to lessen the negative publicity of this they left masks on all the hospital beds matching functionality with their abilities and style matching their personality file. as they slept to keep their identities hidden in any nighttime activities, waiting for them to wake up.

Once all the students woke up they were briefed on the situation, much to the shock of many students, and a notice to them all that they should make aliases based on their abilities so that the government doesn't need a registration act to communicate about them legally, and that adults with similar abilities have been replaced as their teachers in one class. The students were given a week off of school to adapt to their new abilities, but now that week is over. School has begun.

"Bye Jason," Riley Steel said to his son Jason as he walked into school to his office. Jason laughed and shook his head at his cold father who he only found out in the last week had superpowers like him. And mom knew this whole time! How unfair... Jason shrugged and walked into the school, ridiculously early since his dad had to get in early to prepare and he was Jason's only ride. Jason walked around a bit, dropping his bag at the main classroom, which teachers would leave and go into for Maths and English, where all the students start their day. According to the government guy who introduced himself at the briefing as the principal, an old bastard with no powers Jason knew of. Jason saw a green-haired girl and considered going to talk to her, but the swirling pit of anger fear and grief made Jason decide to stay near the locker area. He went into his bag and smiled looking at his mask, a big reflective piece of glass that went around his face.

That "green haired girl", Artemis, was busy writing in her notepad things people would ask a lot to save constantly having to write them. 'Hi', 'The notepad's because I'm a mute', 'I'd rather not talk about what made me mute', etc. Mostly responding to the annoying questions people ask about her not talking. She'd only been at Eden City High a few days before incident and noone who really spoke to her much wasn't gifted. Agh. Meeting people is a pain.

Coming back to Eden City High after the incident was strange for Sky. While some students stood around in cliques talking about their week off and such mundane small talk- Sky kept her eyes cast downward as she walked through the front doors of the building. Her life was a complete and total mess, but Sky knew she had to make the most out of the lemons life handed her. She went to her locker quickly and stared at the combination lock. She had forgotten the code- it was something important.. But what was it? "Oh yeah," she said under her breath before twisting the dials until the code matched her parents anniversary date.

Then locker popped open and Sky took a deep breath. She had English first period, and it wasn't something she would enjoy. She carefully placed the English books down in the deep red bag with yellow polka dots on it. She was careful not to harm the colorful, full face mask that was tucked neatly inside of the bag. She stood and placed the straps on her shoulders before mustering up enough courage to look around. Sky hadn't been at Eden City for more than a month before the incident- so she saw many familiar faces, but no faces that would even recognize her.

"Okay, mommy. I'm off to school!" Cecelia called out as she reached the front door. Her mom called back "Dear, it's chilly out, so remember your jacket. I washed it last night!" Cecelia sighed "I know that mommy, I was outside yesterday! OH! Gotta hurry or I'll miss the bus. Love you! Bye!" Grabbing her bunny jacket she has for several years (and having to buy a new one, since her original one was super tight and wouldn't fit any more), Cecelia ran for her bus stop, making it just in time to get on.

It was stragely empty today. I guess there weren't many special kids that ride my bus. This sucks. Same bus driver though, but he's creepy. All my friends are still normal... Cecelia rode the bus in silence, reaching in her messanger bag for her mask, the awesome transformation of the mask from right to left was a symbol of her powers to turn things into other thing she's seen. She pulls Fluffy from her bag and hugs him tight to her chest. "It's gonna be alright, Fluffy. We'll make it through this together," Cecelia mutters as she turns her body side to side.

Once the bus arrives, Cecelia, back in her happy mood, skips off the bus and into the halls towards the lockers. Once there, she sees a boy who is also here. "Hi there. How was your break?" Cecelia asked, not even remembering if she had met this boy before. After picking up her books, she notices a girl writing in a notepad. She walks over and looks at the girl. Trying not to be too loud, she says "Hi there, I'm cecelia. I don't think I've met you. What's your name? By the way, you have really pretty hair." Cecelia smiles.

Jackdaw grabbed her shoulder bag and threw on a light blue hoodie. As she walked out the door Daw slung her bag over her shoulder before beginning the walk to school. Daw lived quite close to Eden High School. Close enough to walk, at least. The sun shown down bright on Daw's pale white skin, causing it to seem brighter than normal.

As she walked Daw thought. About what her new school would be like. About what students had become more special. And questions bit about that gap in her memories. From six to twelve. There were no memories from that time. Nothing. At Daw was only thirteen. She should be able to remember last year. And now she had been asleep for two weeks exactly. I was annoying for Daw, but hey, when life gives you lemons, put them in a sack and beat your enemies with it till they break.

Daw walked into the school and immediately put her alternate personality. She needed to be nice. She needed to help others. That had been what she had decided as her attitude towards people. A sweet, nice little girl, smart and kind. Sweet and innocent. No one but her parents and some of the police new of her six year 'disappearance'. And Daw wanted to keep it that way.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Alexi groaned as the agonizing sound of her alarm clock went off. "Great another day." she muttered as she got up and started making her coffee. Once the coffee was ready, she threw on her black tank top and black mini skirt with frills at the bottom of it, skulls imprinted into the cloth, and chains dangling off of her left side.

Aqua stands outside the front of the school, rubbing her shoulders furiously. For some reason, she is cold. But, then again, she's always cold now. She walks up the steps into Eden City High and tries not to touch anything. Considering it has been strange couple weeks, she has yet to be able to actually control her powers and freezing water in the air is a particularly bad one. Considering most everything is made up of water, it is hard for her to control her powers. Everything she touches seems to turn to ice or burns immediately.

Aqua takes a deep breath and pulls her mask down over her eyes and peers through the eye holes. She sees a young man leaning up against a locker and other people heading toward their first class, which is English. She accidentally bumps into someone and apologizes immediately, embarrassment shading her face red. Suddenly, her legs slip out from underneath her and she falls to the ground with a thump. She groans as she rubs her lower back, looking down at the newly fresh patch of ice where her feet just were. She sighs and climbs slowly to her feet. She's going to have to learn to control her emotions if she wants to get this power thing under control.

She walks into the classroom and notices a few people already there: a green haired girl scribbling in a notebook, a younger looking girl, and another girl with a very colorful mask. She hurriedly walks to a seat close to the window in the front and sits down, plopping her bag down next to her.

After getting dressed, Alexi made her way to the to the school. as she stepped out of her black Corvette Stingray into the school's student parking lot. She yawned and took a sip of her coffee before walking into school. She gave off a cold aura when she entered the hallway like usual. Taking another sip of her coffee, she made her way to the classroom. Alexi then takes her custom gas mask, inhales deeply, and puts it on, entering the classroom.

Alexi then eyes a seat in the back of the classroom that seemed dark enough for her to enjoy. She was not a big fan of the light, she always stayed in a dark corner or room, not because she was senile, but because she felt safer that way. Alexi made her way to the desk in the bag and she sat down, tossing her empty coffee container in the trash can.

A figure was already in class, leaning back in his seat as he waited patiently for the teacher to arrive. He was around average height or so, with messy black hair that naturally flitted over bored, onyx-black eyes. Oddly enough, other than his soft hair, you couldn't see anything else about his facial features. The shadows from his hair seems to cover his entire face in shrouded darkness, only the darkness seemed to naturally come from his hair, forcing him to give off a general mysterious aura. The boy dropped his backpack onto his desk, a sound coming from his shadowed face - a minor, quiet sigh of annoyance. When will class start? He grumbled in his mind, propping his feet up and crossing his arms over his chest. He entertained himself by glancing around as other students filed in. There were a lot of...odd characters, but with what has recently happened, it wasn't all that surprising.

Ryder stiffened when he felt someone enter the darkness near him, but otherwise didn't respond, dully turning his invisible gaze to the desk in front of him. On it, a shadowy, wisping figure formed, looking more like a horned goat then anything. It galloped around, being about the size of a bottle of water. It even let out disembodied, raspy yells of triump when it managed to tackle his pencil. It's eyes were pitch white, along with it's mouth, which was open in an eternal circle. In some ways, it was cute, in others, it was creepy.

After not getting an immediate response from the green haired girl, Cecelia sat down in the seat next to her. Wow, she's really into her writing. And she's quiet. Is she lonely? Maybe she needs friends. She's not talking to anyone, just writint there, Cecelia starts thinking, as she pets Fluffy, who is in her lap, what do you think, Fluffy? She keeps petting her stuffed bunny and pulls out her books for class, then starts messing with her hood's ears while looking at the green haired girl with a sideways glance.

The shadowed figure in the back made Sky's eyes narrow. She couldn't see anything but darkness- making her incapable of noting if she recognized his face. She tore her eyes from the dark figure and looked up toward the froth of the classroom as she took her seat. Sky pulled her notebook from her bag along with her English book. She had always maintained good grades while in school, and she wouldn't let her 'gift' distract her from keeping those good grades.

Sky took a single curl of her silver hair and twirled it around her index finger nonchalantly. She wanted this class to hurry as begin. Sky kept her head down and looked around the class- her eyes glancing quickly across each figure. She taped her notebook softly with the end of her pencil, crossing her jean clad legs under the cover of her desk.

Tim got ready for school early this morning and finishing breakfast when the bus. He quickly said goodbye to his parents as he rushed out the door and onto the bus headed for his school. Once on the bus he found a seat that was empty and kept to himself. For the rest of the ride to school he played with coins from his wallet by transforming the element that they were made out of into another. Made his quarters into Aluminum and his pennies into sodium.

When the bus got to the school he quickly got off the bus and headed straight for class, he hoped that they would have a chemistry exam soon. That was one of his favorite subjects in school and he loved doing those kinds of exams. When he got to the classroom he noticed a couple other students sitting in the own seats a bit far away from the teacher, he rolled his eyes and sat near the front. Unlike most students he liked his classes.

Aqua looks around and notice that more people have entered. She lets out a small sigh and uncaps the horn on her hip. She pulls it out and begins to twirl it around her fingers, a trick that she taught herself when she first got her powers. She looks around and notices a shadowy boy in the back of the class. She faces forward, not want to look at him. The water slips between her fingers and down her wrist as she moves it over to her other hand. She smiles and leans up against the wall.

Suddenly, the wall gets very cold and she jerks back, looking at her. The water has disappeared from her hand and is now across the entire wall. The entire wall, from the front of the room to the back, is completely frozen. She swallows and tries to get it back, but it stays frozen. Little ice crystals appear on the windows and she bites the insides of her cheeks. This is not a good way to start off the class. She sighs and waves her hand over the frozen section closest to her. It is going to take awhile, but she could at least melt it off the wall, without, hopefully, melting the wall itself.

Chuck slid the green Mercedes sedan into his parking space with a screech and whiff of burnt rubber. After watching a few television shows about racing and stunt driving, he could do just about any driving trick in the book without fear of wrecking. It gave his parents a fit, but they were willing to do anything for their special little boy. The clock on his dashboard told him he was a few minutes early, but the school bell suggested otherwise.

He quickly slid out of the car, then pressed the lock button on his keychain while sprinting for the door. He caught up with the last few students entering the classroom, and took his seat near the front. English wasn't one of his favorite classes, especially because his talent of copying was against the rules for creative writing. He sighed, took out his books, and began to scribble a famous painting he had seen a few days ago.

Aiden's eyes slowly crawled open, much to his disliking he was waking up and when he woke up in the morning it was hard for him to fall back asleep. It was useful, he thought, on days where he had schooling. If he could just fall back asleep instead of getting up he would, but he sat up, and got ready for the day.

Not too long later he was dressed and full of breakfast, ready to deal with the newly-redone school. He extended his wings and took off, flying low and out of sight towards the school. One perk of his new powers, he could easily fly with his wings and it made land travel an unnecessary form of transportation. Only after a few minutes he landed in is school's yard, retracting his wings and walking inside and towards his first class. He liked to carry most of his stuff in his bags, lockers were unsafe to him, especially now that most everyone had powers.

After finding his way to his first class he sat his books on the ground next to a desk he liked and plopped down in it, taking a book out from inside one of his bags and continuing where he left off on it. He liked books, especially about birds and animals, most likely due to how his mother was a Zoologist focused on birds. She had always showed him her studies when she came home and sometimes brought birds, sparking a fascination in birds. Wouldn't you guess his mother's face when she found out what his powers were. He thought about introducing himself to someone, but decided against it and continued on his book.

Alexi laid her head on her desk, holding it in pain. She was obviously hung over from last night, besides she didn't care how others viewed her, for she felt that she wasn't going to have friends away. Alexi was used to being lonely, though sometimes it would turn into manic depression. On the inside she felt like ice, like an outcast to everyone. ALexi then scooted her desk so he was covered completely by the shadow.

Having done this, her appearance grown a tad more transparent, which she wanted because she wasn't too fond of conversation, mainly because she didn't want to get attached to someone again, considering her last "relationship."

Jackdaw walked into her English class, smiling gently. She noted the people all ready in room, and simple sat down, pulling out a note book and pen. Once seated Daw began writing. The journal she was writing in was one that she had used since she was twelve. In case she ever forgot, Daw made sure to write down most things.

For now she simply noted down her schedule. Once done she flipped back to the beginning of the notebook.

Jackdaw. Jackdaw. Jackdaw. Jackdaw. Jackdaw. Jackdaw.

My name is Jackdaw. I think I'm twelve. I remember nothing but my name. They found me yesterday. Said I had been missing for six years. For know their keeping me in a hospital.

Why? What happened to me? Who are these people? They keeping telling me that they're my parents. I don't believe them.

They still haven't let me out. These bandages are constricting and the room I'm in is intoxicating. It's perfect white walls simple beg for me to splatter them with red. But nothing is allowed near me except for you.

They keep telling me that if I let them read my notebook they can help me. But I really doubt it. You are mine and mine alone.

The rambling so went on and one. They had been the only thing Jackdaw could trust when she had returned. And they were the only thing Daw still trusted with all her heart.

Cecelia sees another girl sitting diagonal from her, so she turns her attention to the dark haired girl. "Hi, how was your break? I don't think we've met before. Maybe we were in different classes. Well, anyways, I think the school's better with fewer people, making it easier to know more of the people you see every day, ya know?" Cecelia aims her words over at the girl diagonal from her, still holding Fluffy to her chest. I hope they aren't thinking that I'm weird or something or just don't want to talk to me...

Elijah placed his briefcase down and reviewed the lesson plan for the next few days. Seeing as it was the first day however, he doubted little would be learned, if anything at all. Probably just introductions and just talking. At least that's what Elijah remembered from when he was in school.

It was sorta abrupt when someone from the government told him that they wished for him to become a teacher. Elijah wasn't too excited, but the salary was nice and it would be a nice change of pace from his travels.

Now if they'd stop blasting the A/C on high. It was pretty bloody col-

Oh.

The bloody wall was frozen over. Probably some nut on the other side wanted to show off to their new classmates. He walked over to the other classroom and knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, but could the show-off please unfreeze the damn wall? It's pretty cold being next to a big piece of ice."

Aqua hears the teacher's voice and cringes, looking over her shoulder. "Sorry sir!" she yells over her shoulder. "I'll try to get it unfrozen!" She takes a deep breath and focuses on the wall. She squeezes her hands shut and suddenly, the ice turns to water and splashes anyone near the wall. She cringes as she gets thoroughly soaked by her own water and she sighs. This is just a mess. She looks around at everyone, her cheeks flaming, and she begins to pick up the water by waving her hand over it and shoving it back into the horn on her hip.

She looks down at her back and sees that it is soaked. She sighs and closes her hand into a fist. Everything dries immediately and evaporates into the air. She smiles before going back to collecting all the water that has fallen from the water either onto people or onto the floor.

"Yeah, I guess it is quieter," Daw smiled," I'm Jackdaw. Most people just call me Daw, it's nice to meet you." Daw finished, looking at the girl, hoping she wouldn't try to look at her notebook.



Daw closed her notebook, sweetly smiling at the girl. Hoping that she wouldn't dare to read the red book that Daw held so near.
