^{Hallway // Stockbridge Academy}

Jaden cursed themselves when Fitz reminded them of the locked doors and unbreakable windows throughout the school. Yet, there had to be a way out. Because staying at school wasn't an option for them at all. Even if it was for a few nights. They listened to the cheerleader insinuating that the cafeteria was ideal. And then, most of the classmates in the lounge began to leave for the location. Jaden watched and reflected on their next decision: go on their own or catch up with the others. It was oblivious that staying any longer here would result in their death or worse. So, they headed for the door and left the lounge.

There was an immediate breeze of cold for the silent hallways that felt uncomfortable. Earlier, it was the scene of pure chaos and disorder. But now, there was a strange sense of tranquility that quickly got to Jaden. Then, there was the group heading for the cafeteria in the hope of surviving the day. Jaden knew that the food that he had in his bag wasn't going to be enough. However, it meant staying in this nightmare. Looking ahead at one of the main doors, they huffed at the fact that Fitz was most likely right. The only exits were locked for now. So, they quickly made their way towards the others, who were arguing over what to do.

Jaden was close enough to hear Xan suggesting to gather as much water as possible. They didn't know much about the new kid, but he seemed alright. That was until it was ruined the moment when he proposed killing their classmates. Surviving was one thing, but killing somebody was different. Even if they were zombies. That was when Jaden decided to make their presence known to everyone.

"Look, I am not going to murder someone to answer your hypothesis." Jaden responded to Xan's suggestion with disgust but then sighed and looked at the water fountain nearby. "However, getting water isn't a bad idea. Especially if we are planning on staying here."

They dug around their bag, pulled out the steel water bottle, and headed for the fountain. While Jaden was filling up the container with cold water, there was an awkward silence waiting for them to say something. Since they were opposed going to the cafeteria moments ago, it felt fair for Jaden to state their case even if it was unnecessary. "Before anyone says anything, I still plan on getting to my car and leaving when the opportunity. I... I have seen enough to know that being by myself right now is stupid."

<Snipped quote by Mao Mao>

Did you get this from a random gang name generator? lol

@Ghost Note

oof. I only use name generators 98% of the time. these names were made by my creative and bright mind. As for your little problem...

Two brothers were running for the law and found themselves to be surrounded in or near Los Angeles. The LAPD accidentally shot and killed one of the brothers, the nonpowered one. And he was so grief-stricken that he unleashed a strong enough earthquake to trigger the San Andreas fault line, resulting in an 8.7, then a 9.0, and finally, a 7.8 earthquake. The resulting earthquakes caused massive destruction throughout California, especially in the south and the Los Angeles county. Due to the cost of repairs, the US government decided to declare Southern California (including Los Angeles) an exclusion zone with the hope of rebuilding what was taken. For now, Congress is debating on the plans while local governments still deal with evacuations.

As for Los Angeles, it remains a lawless city with the military (and national guard) picking up desperate citizens once a month. But with the hope of one day retaking the city from the gangs and criminals currently occupying it.

I have a few names. Misfit Angels or Rejected Angels.

Mao Mao's Test & Stash Zone

Saint Fayettemos is a sprawling town, known for its nightlife and world-famous bakery goods. Life is simple for the citizens of the ideal town. Everyone is perfect for their friends, loved ones, and even themselves. And everything is in black and white, a world where color is virtually nonexistent. To them, it's a fact. But, only a few individuals know the truth and decided to hide it for good. The idea that there could be colors would cause unforeseen consequences to society; however, nobody can control colors easily. And for the first time in Saint Fayettemos, the trees within Clifworth Meadows bloomed into a strange tone, and a young man witnessed the entire thing.

Saint Fayettemos

Three hours away from the bustling city of Karichham lies the growing town of Saint Fayettemos. It was founded in the late 1800s but only saw growth in recent years. And in a matter of weeks, everybody noticed how unique Fayettemos' nightlife was compared to places like Karichham. Now, thousands are setting up shop in both the new and old downtown to cash at the moment. And as a result, the population blew up from twenty thousand to fifty thousand in the last two years. That also brought forth a bloom into the bakery industry.

Creativity during a Quarantine

I will give the challenge a shot.

And for the first time in Saint Fayettemos, the trees within Clifworth Meadows bloomed into a strange tone, and a young man witnessed the entire thing.

Basically, I have this idea about telling a story of young adults discovering themselves for the first time in their life and start questioning everything around them. It's inspired by one of my favorite movies, Pleasantville (y'all should watch it). Who knows I might explore the idea more and make it into an interest check in the near future. Until then, it's only an idea inside my head.

^{Gateway City, Rhode Island}

𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗔 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗘

Upon entering the office, Diana explained the entire situation to Dominguez and introduced her to Dominic. They were looking better than their last talk but still appeared tried. It was one of the reasons why she didn't resume questioning them. And when the introductions over, the group was left to think about the future. What were they going to do about Dominic? Diana suggested that they could live in the guest bedroom of her studio until a place is found for them. Candy was hesitant about allowing a stranger access to her boss' home, but her concerns were pushed aside.

"I will be fine. Besides, where else could the kid go?"

"I could bring them to my house." answered Candy.

"No, that isn't going to happen." Diana insisted and began talking at a lower voice, so Dominic wasn't able to listen in. "Besides, we still don't know about their abilities. I don't want you or anyone else to get hurt. It will be okay."

Then, all of a sudden, a television screen slowly set up as the windows were being covered by black sheets. Diana went over to her computer and knew that SHIELD was contracting her. It meant that everyone in the room—even Candy—wasn't allowed here due to sensitive information. She turned and gave out the order, "Take Dominic to my place. I will meet you guys there after the meeting."

Candy nodded at the request and walked over towards Dominic, who was still struggling to maintain balance. With help from Dominguez, both of them were able to carefully escort the kid out of the room. Once she was alone, Diana stood in front of her desk and watched the SHIELD logo on the screen. Agent Gabriela Doyle then appeared on the screen, glancing at something before turning her attention to Diana. Doyle had received Clint's report and was clearly troubled by it. Even if she did a poor job at hiding it.

Soon enough, Doyle was able to say something about the matter. "I'm rarely left speechless... but your assumption of the strange petals appears to be right. So far, our team hasn't been able to trace their origins even after analyzing rare plants. Regardless, we will keep on looking into the matter."

"Well, if I may-"

"I'm not done." Doyle interrupted. "You mentioned that the petals came from Themyscira. Clint wrote in the report about finding them in the area that Dominic was resting. Do you know what it means?"

"No." answered Diana.

Doyle sighed and rubbed her eyes, clearly frustrated at the answer. "But I think that you do. You were quick to defeat the Pantheon while they were pretending to be humans. And even told us that they were leaving us alone. Yet, the encounter with Dominic was... something."

Now frustrated, Diana rebuked in irritated. "I will tell you the same thing that I said to Clint. Zeus isn't planning for war against humanity. He wouldn't have sent Dominic if that was the case. You can do whatever to me, but leave the kid alone. They are just a scared kid with powers. You should know because you deal with them all the time!"

"I would usually agree with you about them. It isn't wild to speculate that a kid would seek your aid. But I keep looking at the petals and... it isn't of this world, Diana." Doyle sighed and then typed out something on her desktop. "I can't promise that SHIELD won't leave the kid alone unless we find evidence that proves innocence. Until then, I will provide you with an update on this matter soon."

^{SHIELD Helicarrier, Unknown}

Doyle ended the call before Diana could thank her and finished typing her own report. She sent it to her own superiors and took a moment to breathe. Being assigned as leader of Panoptes was already a big deal within SHIELD. It was established shortly after allegations that Wonder Woman worked beside Stryfe. Initially, it was under the leadership of Tom Tresser, aka Nemesis. But after Diana was found innocent, SHIELD dramatically changed Panoptes' goal.

Instead of finding evidence of the hero's ties with MFS, they were tasked with surveillance and establishing routine check-ins with Diana. And that was when Doyle was brought in as its new leader. Nemesis remained on the team to pave the way for a smooth leadership transition. But she had to prove that she was the right choice for the team. During the brief period, Panoptes convened existing security systems inside Diana's charity and studio to their operation. But their greatest feat with stealing and replacing Wonder Woman's gear and weaponry with near-perfect replicas without anyone's notice.

That was how Doyle earned her spot as the leader and the nickname, Argus.

Doyle decided to take a moment to process everything before calling a meeting with the team.

---

When the call ended, Diana heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that things could have gone worst. Her relationship with Agent Doyle was better than Nemesis, but it was still unfriendly. And with the recent revelations, things seemed to worsen between them. For now, she needed a moment to focus on one thing: Dominic. Their sudden introduction brought questions that needed answering, and she needed to find them. Of course, however, something else came up when Garibaldi walked into the office.

"Are you still busy?" asked Garibaldi.

Diana chuckled at the question and sat on her desk. "Honestly, I have a lot on my plate... But I am available."

"Well, I was wondering if you are still planning on doing the interview." Garibaldi crossed his arms.

Diana had totally forgotten about the interview with WHIH until it was brought up. Her mind went back to the night that Cale offered the interview. She was unusually sincere compared to her ruthless attitude that she always had. That caught Diana off guard and made her question if the discussion was going to be genuinely honest. It was why she decided to take a few days to think about it. Then, she was distracted by everything. And now, on limited time, Diana tried to summarize the pros and cons of the interview.

There was the chance that Cale might have been deceiving Diana into a trap. Even if that was the case, it was foolish to immediately dismiss the interview. A chance to tell her side of the story to the whole world was a golden opportunity for someone like Wonder Woman. A chance to ask forgiveness to those that she had indirectly or directly harmed. It was clear that she had her answer.

"When do you think you can book the interview?"
