Blyke looks into Remi's soft amber eyes, their gental look breaks him into pieces as he almost lets his confession slip out.
Blyke: Uhh, never mind.
Remi leans closer to Blyke.
Remi: Hey, you wanna just forget about reality for now? Lets just watch a movie.
Blyke: Yeah, that sounds nice.
Remi: Great, I got the perfect movie.
Blyke: Oh yeah?
Remi selects a title called DBZ.
Blyke: Woah, you like DBZ too?!
Remi: Yeah, my brother would always watch it, before he...
Blyke looks at Remi as she starts to turn sad again. He pulls her close hoping she'd forget about whatever she was thinking about.
Blyke: We can watch something else if it's making you sad, I know Rei isn't something you want to remember.
Remi: No, it's okay, I actually like it too. Plus...
Remi looks next to her, she sees a green shadow next to her. She smiles as she waves at it. It waves back.
Blyke: What the, who are you waving at?
Remi jumps out of embarrassment, realizing she looks like a crazy person.
Remi: Uhh, nothing. I'm just kinda, I don't know anymore.
Blyke: Well, let's just finish the movie.
Blyke and Remi stay up all night watching DBZ.
Blyke: Oh yeah, kick his ass Gouku!
Remi giggles.
Remi: Hehe, you're just like my brother. I swear he would yell the same things all the time.
Blyke: Oh, hehe, do I remind you of Rei a lot, you keep saying that I'm just like him.
Remi: Hmm, well kinda. You and Isen are almost kinda like my brothers.
Remi freezes and puts her hand over her mouth.
Blyke: Oh, yeah. That's great.....
Blyke forces a smile on his face.
Remi: Hey, you wanna stay the night, I'm kinda, on edge for some reason. You know?
Blyke: Yeah, sure.
Blyke sits on the floor and starts to dose off as Remi goes to pull out a sleeping bag, right when she turns around Blyke is already asleep.
Remi: What the, already?!
Her yelling doesn't even reach Blyke, who's stuck in a deep freeze.
Remi in her head: Dammit, I didn't mean to call him my brother, he just liked some of the same things he did. I, I don't....
Remi see's the green shadow figure again. Startled by it she runs towards it.
Remi: Rei, REI ANSWER ME!
The shadow figure starts to float up in the air, it smiles and waves at Remi as she starts to cry. Missing her big bro.
Remi: Rei please, I miss you!
She hears a voice in her head.
Rei: Don't worry about me anymore, I'm free.
Remi: Rei?
Remi stops crying to look around, she finds no sign of Rei anywhere. She climbs back into bed, she looks down at Blyke who is fast asleep.
Blyke: What the, what are you screaming about?
Remi: Oh, uhhh, don't worry about it. Hehe
Blyke: Well it's 1am, we should start to go to bed, we have an exam tomorrow.
Remi: Okay.
Remi starts to drift off to sleep.
Later the next day The two head on the roof. Remi and Blyke have met up after class, Remi tells Blyke about Rei, but Blyke says she was probably just seeing things, and that she should not let these visions get her to riled up.
The conversation eventually leads to illegal vigilanting
Blyke: Hey listen, I know how you can help us as X-Rei.
Before school Isen, John, Arlo, and Blyke are back on the roof making their next move. Blyke introduces Remi into the group plan
Arlo: Oh man, can we take on this many people? I feel like I won't be as slick.
John: I don't see why not. It would probably give us an advantage. One more high tier.
Blyke: Okay, here is the plan, Arlo, me, Remi, and John will map out the city on foot. Isen, you get us a satellite image from the press room.
John: Right see you all after school.
Arlo uses his barrier on John. Everyone stays on the roof including Isen.
Blyke: Listen John, if we are gonna be allies, we need to start being more open with each other. We can't keep secrets with ourselves if they involve crucial information.
John flashbacks to when he fought with Claire and Adrion.
John: Why, why here? why NOW?! yeah I have an ability alright?!
The group of kids freeze, startled by the fact that something so major was just dropped on them like it was nothing.
John: And yeah, I'm The Golden God!
The group of kids are scared at this point, by secrets they meant a secret ability, not something major like a whole frickin Identity.
Remi: John calm down, it's just like you said, one more high tier right?!
John pauses for a moment before he thinks of a response. He sighs, realizing that he's terrified his friends.
John: Fine, but NONE of this leaves the roof though, you got that? This is more than just a secret to me.
Everyone nods in agreement, out both respect for their friend, and fear of his persona. Seraphina shows up standing behind John the whole time without anyone noticing the whole time.
Seraphina: John, what secret?
John: Sera? I uhh....
Seraphina stands with her arms crossed leaning up against the wall.
Seraphina: You better explain to me what I just heard.
John looks back at the group in anger, rage fills his eyes and heart as he looks at Seraphina, she gives him a glare right back at him, creating an intense vibe of anger and confusion.
Sera: Explain it, NOW!
John quickly switches his feelings to fear, as he realizes what's about to happen.
John: Sera, please just hear me out. Look, I wasn't proud of it, I don't like my ability, but I have to use it, I never use it for myself, I truly lived like a cripple, I just, I wanted to to tell you but I couldn't.
Seraphina: How long were you gonna keep this from me?
John and Sera both stand on the roof. Tension fills the air as it drives the rest of the group off the roof. The rest of the group leaves for the potential battle.
Sera: John, why?
John: Sera STOP! NOT YOU TOO!
She walks over to John. John stops and stares at her approaching him, she then gives a good Slap to John's cheek.
Sera: John, just snap out of it and talk to me!
At that moment everything around them starts to turn into nothing but blackness, oblivion. He hears a sinister laugh coming from the corner.
Joker: Hehehe, how does it feel to watch your whole world fall apart?!
John: NOOO, I won't let YOU win, this time, I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY TWO BARE HANDS!
John notices something that's off, Seraphina starts to power up, her eyes turn Lapiz blue. He never thought that Joker could bring her into this place, he thought it was just his mind.
Sera: John? what's going on?!
John looks at Joker.
John: Sera! Stay back, this isn't your fight!, I don't want to see you get hurt.
Joker: Awwww, how cute, the dynamic duo, come on, why don't you keep arguing? I'm missing my show over here!
John: You, what do you want, why do you keep coming back?
Joker punches John right in the Jaw, copying Sera's ability he dashes right at her, only for her to dodge it. John looks at Sera, sensing that her anger for him never left, his eyes start to water.
John: You did this, you planned this, YOU TURNED HER AGAINST ME!
Joker: You have done that yourself. shoulda came out with the truth buddy boi.
John clenches his fist, his anger boils in his blood as he starts to gain more focus.
Sera: You should know to not attack someone with their own ability! Now your gonna tell me what the hell is going on!
Joker: I don't think so remember, I can amplify it too.
Joker dashes a second time at Sera, faster than before, only to get tripped by John.
John: I'm not letting you lay a finger on her! This beef we have is with us, so back the fuck off!
Sera stands in the corner, shocked and unable to move, for the following left her speechless.
John and Joker both get up simultaneously. Both at the same time power up, their eyes glowing a yellow brighter than any star, their pupils so black they pierce their targets like a bullet, two lizard-like eyes looking at each other, both with the strength of gods, ready to tear their worlds apart. John charges at Joker with Sera's, Blyke's, and Remi's abilities. Joker on the other hand has Sera's, Arlo's, and Isen's. John starts off with a charge that will get Joker to use his barrier, the punch cracks through Joker's barrier, allowing him to use a rewind to take it down, giving him the opportunity to land a hit on Joker, however Joker uses Isen's Hunter ability to constantly track John, realizing that this isn't enough to counter lighting and lasers, he copies all of Johns abilities, John does the same to Joker. Now they both have Lighting, lasers, barriers, hunter, and time manipulation.
Sera stands in what was the corner side of the roof, watching who she thought was her John, fighting with five different abilities at once. Not even able to process what is going on, for the battle is so fast and intense, the naked eye couldn't process what was going on.
Joker and John in a blur of three seconds track each other, blast each other with the strongest volts of lightning their bodies can handle, while they manage to get a couple of shots of lasers through their fingers. All for it to just get blocked by each other's barriers.
Joker: You know it's funny? How people act when you have more power than them. They look at you with fear, they reject the very thought of you once being their friend, they act like you are above them, and they resent that!
John: What's your point?
Joker now goes from looking like John and turns into a silhouette. His eyes lose their piercing pupils and fade into a bright orange color, eventually turning red.
Joker: Look at her, she HATES you!
John looks over to see Sera. Standing in the corner, unable to process what just happened. Or if the John she knew is even still there.
Suddenly, a fake Sera appears and tricks John into thinking it's his Sera.
Sera: John, what happened to you who did this to you?! You looked so bruised up.
Joker: Oh it's fine really.
John: Wait, Sera?
John watches as Joker and Sera start hugging.
Joker: It's okay, I'm here, he's gone now.
John starts to feel a falling sensation. He looks below him to see a portal of darkness, followed by Jokers painful memories. The battle between him and the Royals, him and Sera's argument on his identity, Isen breaking his hand in an interview.
A new world, a role switch. John was gonna be replacing the Joker.
John with every last bit of strength, holds on to the roof for dear life. Refusing to accept defeat, and play the role as a villain in a world that hated him.
John to himself: Joker made his values very clear, he hates people, he hates mankind, he sought out to destroy it and turn it against each other. Now he's not gonna take over for him just because he didn't get everything he wanted.
John climbs up the roof, he crawls toward Sera and Joker hugging, Arlo, Elaine, Remi, Blyke, and Isen all come out and the group start to act friendly. John was watching as they faded out, his surroundings becoming clear.
Joker: Ahahahahahaha, that's right John....
She's all mine.....
Seraphina meanwhile is revealed to have moved to the other corner of the roof, standing behind John. John looks back to see Sera behind him. She's covering her front with her arms, as if she was blocking something, or anticipation to do so.
John to himself: What the hell, Sera is never scared? She's always so brave and confident, like nothing fazes her.
Sera is hesitant to move any closer towards Joker. Despite her having her ability activated she's frozen in fear. Her flight response kicked into overdrive.
Joker is seen fading away along with the fake Sera. But then suddenly, something changes. Joker is seen charging at John and Sera.
Joker: You! I'll be back. I'm just getting used to your friends powers, and you!
He rushes towards Sera right as he gets close to her John steps right in front of Joker causing him to bump back.
John: Don't even try pal!
John swings a punch at Joker's jawline.
Joker gets up and stares John dead in the eyes, the two stare down for a solid five seconds, but what felt like an eternity. Sera is holding John's arm at this point. Her eyes are brighter than a blue star in the Milky Way. Joker leaves, a whirlwind is all that is left on the roof, all that's left from his escape is a group of leaves dancing in the air. Seraphina and John hold each other for a solid minute.
Sera: John?
John: Yeah?
Sera: Who the fuck was that?!
John doesn't answer.
Sera: John, what is going on with you? Did you really have powers this whole time?
John stands up, his eyes glowing, tears streaming out of them, Sera looks with terror to face the reality.
John was never a cripple.
Sera begins to walk away.
John: Hey Sera, where are you going?
Sera: I need some time to process this.
John: But, I never even answered your questions?
Sera: I don't need any from you, I already got them.
John: Wait, I can explain myself!
Sera: I think we need some time, John. Please just...
John: Sera Please! wait!!!!!
Sera starts to ignore John and continues to walk away.
SERAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Meanwhile at Isen's dorm.
Siri pull up file New Oklahoma incident.
Isen: Ahhh here we go, Okay siri, call Arlo, Blyke, and John.
The three all answer.
Isen: Hey guys I got a map of all the whole city, where do we wanna go from here?
Arlo pauses.
Arlo: Guys, I can't do this anymore.
Blyke and John pause.
Arlo: I've been in so much Focus on this lately that I've neglected the students of Wellston. Lately there has been a group of suspected mid tiers who have been terrorizing the students of Wellston.
Arlo flashbacks to him leaving the roof. He checks his phone.
Arlo: It's Headmaster Vaughn, I wonder what he needs
Later in his office
Headmaster Vaughn: Arlo, I called you because there has been a group of individuals who have been terrorizing our mid tier population recently. Many have been coming forward to tell me this but they wish to remain anonymous. I need you to keep an eye out on things for me, if possible I would like to not have to get the feds involved.
Arlo: Yeah sure thing.
Blyke: Okay then, You me and John, John?
John: Yeah yeah, I'm here.
Isen: Okay good, Me Blyke and Remi should go into the city while John....
John leaves the chat while Remi joins.
Remi, Blyke, and Isen discuss how they are gonna raid New Oklahoma City.
Meanwhile at Seraphina's and Elaine's dorm
Seraphina to herself: Why? The John I knew, he was nothing but an act. John, why not use your powers? You're so gifted, and you treat it like a curse. You use it to help others instead despite how horrible this world treats you. You lied to your friends, just to protect those worthless weaklings, and now, you couldn't even trust me enough to keep it, but you told them.
Sera starts to tear up, her whole world shattered within five minutes.
Seraphina goes over to pull out a book from her bedside table.
Seraphina: They say this book makes anyone who reads it delusional. Oh God, what did it do to you John?
She recalls back when they were at John's house the night they ran away from that invisible man.
John: They aren't delusional, they see how the world should be, not for what it is.
Seraphina then recalls when she first met John.
Teacher: Okay class, please put your notebooks away, I will be explaining your term project for.
Student: Awww this sucks.
Student 2: Man why?!
Sera in the flashback recalls when she beat up John over a piece of cake.
Seraphina to herself: Why did I do that? That's not like me at all. To beat up someone like that, like him, a crippled loser, I bet that cake would have made him happy, it's all he had going I bet. Oh well, doesn't matter anyways, I'm Que-
Her thoughts are interrupted by John slamming the door open.
John: Sorry I'm late, I had to go to the infirmary.
Teacher: Yes I can see that, have a seat. Anyways here are the partners for the assignments.
Blyke: Yo John what happened? (he whispers)
John: Well, despite having Arlo and Remi give me the pass with you guys, Seraphina just went nuts on me for taking the last piece of triple chocolate cake.
Isen: Yeah well, she just got demoted to an Ace for her reckless behavior.
John: Quite guys, she might hear us.
Seraphina gives the three a dirty look.
Teacher: Elaine and Auriel, Blyke and Isen, John and Seraphina.
John: Oh God come on!
Seraphina: You gotta be kidding me!
The two meet up at Seraphina's desk.
Seraphina: What are you doing?
John: What now?
Seraphina: Get your elbow off my desk!
John: Make me!
Seraphina: Oh I will!
John: Oh go ahead beat me up again, no do it, I dare you! That way when you put me in the hospital, or worse, I won't have to do the project with you.
Seraphina: Oh don't worry, you're not TOUCHING this project.
John: Excuse me?!
Seraphina: This is how it's gonna go. I can't have you ruining my perfect grade so I'm doing the entire thing myself, I'll provide note cards for the presentation, so you'll read off those. Think you can handle that?
John: The hell? You must be joking.
Seraphina: No.
John: Hey, I came here to learn not to fre-
Seraphina: Looks like it's been decided.
John: What? we haven't decided shit!
Seraphina's eyes start to glow
Seraphina: Yes we have.
John slams his hand on Seraphina's desk.
Seraphina looks at John's eyes, so empty with no color, yet a bold and intense stare, like he's hiding something. Seraphina walks away.
The next day.
Seraphina: John, here are the notes I wrote up for you. The whole thing is pretty straight forward, just read off the index cards and follow my cues.
John proceeds to rip up the note cards.
Seraphina: HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
John: I already told you didn't I? I came here to learn, not to freeload off of you. Since we had no communication, I went and did the entire thing too, so I won't be needing your notes. For now, let's figure out what each of us should say during the presentation.
Seraphina in both rage and confusion decides not to speak up.
Seraphina to herself: Why would he do that? Literally anyone would want to have a partner that did the whole project.
Teacher: Alright everyone please settle down! Presentations will begin shortly.
Seraphina: The book we read for this project is called Hamlot. It's a tragedy written by Speareshake. The story contains a few main themes.
Seraphina in her head: Okay, going good so far, maybe he isn't that useless. He got into Wellston without an ability after all. What can go wrong? He has to have brains at the very least to get into this school.
Seraphina: Before exploring further into these themes, John will give a quick explanation of the plot.
She gives John the cue.
John: Okay so this story is about a mystery surrounding the death of a King. Even with his sudden death, the Kingdom was able to find a replacement
It turns out that the Queen had been conspiring with the new King all along, and the entire death was planned, hence the theme "Betrayal".
Seraphina in her head: Okay, so far so good.
John: Then the king goes on a crusade for the boys, he just lost the dub streak on Two Weeks (Fortnight) and goes out to kill the nine year olds, but then remembers that Alinyeti on Twitch tube wasn't banned, so then he goes out on a crusade on the gamer girls.....
Seraphina in her head: What the? This doesn't happen at all, did he even read the book? No this isn't even related to school, this is just... nonsense!
Isen and Blyke are laughing their asses off.
Isen to Blyke: Bro, he did it, oh my God this is hilarious.
Blyke to Isen: I told you he would, I told you! hahaha.
Seraphina now looking even more pissed starts to activate her ability.
Teacher: That's enough, minus ten points for being rude Blyke and Isen, Seraphina power down this instant!
Seraphina complies.
Later at the end of class she holds up her grade, a B-
Isen: Yo John, why would you do that?
Isen: yo John, why would you do that?
Blyke: Yeah man you're lucky you even got a B- at all.
Isen: Yeah now Seraphina is totally gonna kill you!
John: Well then if I got a B- I don't see what the problem is at all. Besides I got a hundred bucks from you idiots.
Blyke: Yeah man you sure did, you know what kid you got balls for no powers.
The two hand John fifty each.
Seraphina gets up and walks towards the door.
Teacher: Seraphina where are you going?
Seraphina: Library!
She slams the door shut.
Class ends.
Blyke: Isen, John, Cod of Poopy when we get home
Isen: Hell yeah you know it!
John: Alright boys it's a date then.
John walks out into the hallway to his next class.
Girl number 1: Ugh can you believe The Jack is hanging out with that cripple loser!
Girl number 2: Oh, I heard Seraphina got a B- as well on her project, so much for being perfect.
Another girl chimes in.
Girl number 3: God what is our school coming to?
Girl number 1: Yeah I know, she blew her partner up, who was the same cripple!
Girl number 2: Yeah well, guess she is losing it.
They all nod in agreement.
John thinks to himself: So, this kinda thing happens to her too? Because she is Queen, people watch her every move. It's impossible to escape judgment. This kind of pressure is enough to push anyone to the edge.
John later finds Seraphina in the Library.
John: Hey, let's start working on our next part of the project. If we work together, we can do better this time.
Seraphina slams her hand on the book she was reading and pins John to a wall.
Seraphina: That's not for you to decide, LISTEN to me John. If you don't agree to use my notes, I'll send you to the infirmary every single day so that you will have no chance to work... and you'll have no other choice. Also, I Don't even know HOW the jack, Isen, Remi, and THE KING like you, let alone tolerate you! I'm keeping my eye on you, I'll make sure this school doesn't go to shit because of your presence. You're good for nothing...
John interrupts.
John: You would go that far for a perfect grade? Is it really worth it?
Seraphina: Yes.
John: Why? Do you like doing all this extra work by yourself? Or are you just trying to impress everyone around you?
Seraphina: That's none of your concern.
John: Well, I'm still not doing it. If you beat me up, I'll just have to bullshit my way through the project again. Then we can both fail it together.
Seraphina: Fine I'll make the rest of your time here a living nightmare.
John: Seraphina, I'm a cripple, how could you make my LIFE more miserable?
Seraphina went into shock. She never heard something more true in her life, even the weakest little piece of trash in this school can make or break this kids day, she then takes a different approach and tries to reason with John.
Seraphina: What the hell is wrong with you? This wasn't supposed to be this difficult. I gave you the best case scenario. We don't have to talk and you get an A, yet you still persist on making this harder than it has to be! So why don't you just do what I say!
John: Because... I don't want to. I don't care what other people say or think about me, and I don't care if I have no ability, before coming here I already decided that I'm gonna live the way I want to.
The next day. Seraphina pulls out Mcbetch by Spearshake. As she walks over to her table she see's John sitting down at her table.
Seraphina: What are you doing at my table?
John: The project, obviously.
Seraphina: Are you serious, I already told you to not work on it.
John: And I already told YOU I'm doing my part.
Seraphina pulls a seat straight across from John.
John finishes his part of the work.
Seraphina: Let me see it.
John: Huh?
Seraphina: It's only reasonable. I let you work on the project. You let me look over your work.
John: I don't think your qualified to-
Sera zooms straight at John at the speed of light.
Seraphina: What the heck is this mess?
John: My summary of the first act of Mecbetch.
Seraphina: It's entirely inaccurate. You didn't even get the plot down. What's wrong with you?
John: Well the language they use is very weird, and I don't understand it okay?
Seraphina: Well then ask me about it. Don't just ignore it and make stuff up like the last time.
John in his head: Oh Jesus this might be a long day at the library.
The two studied and worked on their project for hours. Seraphina looks at John's work after he revised it.
Seraphina: John, this is brilliant, what the...
She sees him sleeping on the Job. She picks up a book and slams it on the table.
John: Huh wha?
Seraphina looks over him with a smile: Get back to work slacker.
She looks at his phone under his arms to see he was watching highlights of The Golden God caught on camera.
Seraphina: Oh, so you're into him? One of those useless heroes?
John: Yeah, pretty sure he does a good job at keeping this city safe.
Seraphina: All he does is provide entertainment and inflict violence.
John: And you guys don't?
Seraphina doesn't respond, but rather takes what John said into consideration, like a wake up call.
They work on the project for hours, presentation day.
What the?
A-
Seraphina: Ugh, what?
John: All that work actually paid off we got an A.
Seraphina: Check again.
John: Looks like an A to me!
Seraphina: Idiot that's an A- It means we did badly
John: Woah then whats an F?
Seraphina growls
John: Does nothing satisfy you?
Seraphina: Don't talk to me anymore.
Later that day.
John: I wonder when Blyke and Isen will be out of Royal duty, ohh I'll let them crash my place.
A green haired girl and a yellow haired girl are chatting up ahead.
Green haired girl: Oh my God Seraphina is so useless, she just got another bad grade on an assignment.
Yellow haired girl: And she calls herself a role model. God she's worthless.
John: Hey, who the hell do you think you're talking about?!
Yellow haired girl: Excuse me?!
She looks at the green haired girl.
Yellow haired girl: Is he talking to us?
The green haired girl activates her ability and punches John in the arm.
Green haired girl: Haha look at this guy!
Yellow haired girl: Who do you think you are butting into our conversation like that?!
John: You two should stop talking about others and worry about yourselves.
Green haired girl: You must be joking! We'll talk about whoever we want! A cripple like you should learn to keep his mouth shut! Seraphina has already messed up twice! So it's only natural for us to discuss it! She's an embarrassment and she calls herself a role model.
John: Shut up! You're wrong!
Seraphina is confused
Seraphina to herself: Wait, why is he defending me?
John: You guys have no right to judge her. What do you even do? Complain and gossip all day? Who cares what she does, or what grades she gets? You all know she's the most dedicated student here, don't discredit her.
John gets a blast of the green haired girls ability.
Green haired girl: SHUT UP ALREADY! Blah blah blah blah, keep rambling you fucking loser! Like anyone gives a shit what you think! You're so useless you're just a waste of space.
Seraphina out of rage jumps out of the corner and slams the green haired girls head in the wall, making it bleed. The yellow haired girl runs for dear life.
Green haired girl: Ugh, what the? Seraphina!
Seraphina: Who said you could touch my partner?!
Green haired girl: A-ah I'm so sorry I-I didn't mean to?
Seraphina: You didn't mean to? Explain what you meant then?
Green haired girl: I'm so sorry, please don't kill me!
Seraphina: GET LOST!
Green haired girl: Yes right away!
The green haired girl scrams as fast as she can.
John: Hey, thanks.
Seraphina: Come on, let's get to work.
John: Hold up...
Seraphina gives John a dead look.
John: I need to stop by the infirmary.
The two work on the project for the next three days. Grinding it like it's their work and they're making money. Putting a 110% into it.
Presentation day
Seraphina: Hey, you're gonna burn a hole in the floor, whats up?
John: I want to do well, I don't like what people are saying about you. I don't want you to drag you down anymore. I won't let them.
Seraphina: A bit late for that don't you think?
John: Yeah, my bad. Hehe.
Sera: Hey, don't think about that anymore. Focus on the now. It's all we're living in anyways.
John: Yeah r-right.
The two get called up to present their project.
Sera: Come on dufus lets get this over with.
She gives him a warm smile before heading up to the front of her class. They present the book Julio and Romiette, a play about two people in love despite their difference in abilities, one was a God Tier, reckless with his powers, loved to party, and was a walking bomb amongst mankind. Another was a simple elite tier. High enough to succeed in life, but simply a cripple compared to the raw power of Romiette's ability.
Seraphina gets her project back at the end of the day. She smiles as she reads the letter A written big with a red pen on her paper.
Seraphina approaches John as Blyke and Isen start to leave.
John: Yo Sera, we did it! You GOTTA be happy about this. I say drinks on me!
Sera: You must be joking. We may have gotten an A this time, but the whole this is an A- Plus we still hav-
John: Blah blah blah blah BLAH! Seraphina, learn to live a little, you gotta learn to relax. What's the point in having all of that power if all you do is live up to others expectations. Rule this world a little. Not like in an Evil way though.
Sera looks at John funny, never had anyone talk to her like this. For once she thinks she found her first real friend.
They two sip on their tea when the news shows a headline.
News reporter: Breaking News, Golden God stops another drug cartel last night, bringing the crime rate down by another....
Sera: Hey John?
John: Yeah?
Sera: If you ever got an ability, would you become a super hero? You seem like someone who would do that kinda thing if they had the power to.
John: You know, I wouldn't want to be anyone else than I am right now.
