"Does that sound about right sir?"
"Yes, yes very good. You may retake your seat." the teacher waved dismissively.
'Huh why does he always pick on me, damn bias teacher.' Sitting at his desk dirty blond hair rustling in the slight breeze from the Aircon. A stark face of average looks, straight nose and a defined jawline. The only redeeming feature the crystal like white eyes, shimmering in the summer sun shining through the classroom windows. 13 years old and growing by the day, his name Z...
"psst, Hey Zef" whispered the girl sitting to his right. Long Auburn hair swaying down to her hips, two shiny almond eyes reflecting the blue sky.
"Did you want to eat together at lunch?"
"Um, no it's okay you should spend time with your friends Emma. I have some catch up work to do." I replied a pensive smile on my face.
Emma didn't seem to notice my aggrieved state, atleast that she made me aware of. "Okay, well if you're sure. Just know you only need to ask if you want to eat or chat together. I'm always up for spending time together just me and you... ah as in you know for friend things" blushing Emma just tried to cover her face and continue.
Unfortunately Mr Crowt spotted us, "Emma Blaine, Zef Iro. This is a classroom not a mothers meet and greet, keep your chatter to yourselves. Zef isn't this the second time I've called you out this lesson."
"No sir I..."
"No excuses that will be detention for you, stay behind ten minutes after class." Mr Crowt ordered, silencing my innocent plea.
'Seriously why does he hate me so much, who am I kidding of course I know why bias di**.'
So basically yeah, wow super human society sounds great right and it is atleast if you're part of the 99.99999% of people with powers. I on the other hand am one terrible gambler, yep you guessed it, I have no powers. Nada, squat, nil it's ridiculous of the 10 billion people on the planet only 100,000 don't have gifts and I'm one of them.
You'd think scoring a 0.00001% chance would be awesome but in this case it's like I won a game of poker but lost all my money, then the bouncers came and threw me in the street.
*Briiiiiizzzzzz
"Right, that will be all for today students. Ah, Mr. Iro you will be staying here with me."
'D***head'
As the sky turns to a golden tint, I strole out of the front gates at school.
"Hhhh, well that was another annoying day of many to come o fourtutus life"
As I start walking along the main road towards the run down housing estate where I live, more commonly referred to as home. I notice some kind of scuffle happening at the deserted junction up ahead, not surprising give the rough neighbourhood i live in, same old gang wars. Not for me to get involved.
"Awhhhhhhh"*Scream
Before I can even process what the fu** i am doing, i'm sprinting at the gang of, a guesstimate 5 men and what looks like a very distressed, stricken young woman maybe 16 but I can't really make out her face from here.
Caught surprised I barrel into one of the men trying to wrestle the woman, and we catapult to the ground.
*SLAM*
Ouch, that hurt, what's this guy frickin made of, I take a closer look and an inhumane shiny metallic face smiles creepily back at me.
" You. Are. Fuc***"
He suddenly launches at me fists bare. *smash
I feel my jaw dislocate, like the turning of a crank, I fall backwards onto my arse and back.
"Uhh what th..e fck, cn't ou gys leav hur alon what did shee do tuo ou". I struggle to formulate my words through the probable concussion and mangled jaw.
"Ooh sunny boi, it isn't what she's done, it's what she is going to be doing for us, if you know what I mean." The safe to say, Thug, licked his lips as he spoke.
"Ahhh, VILE PIGS GET OFF ME" the girl screams.
"Shut the fu** up" One of the seemingly henchmen wacks the girl on the head, knocking her unconscious.
I feel like I know that voice, but it might just be my concussion, Zef half thinks, half deludes.
"Ah Todd, don't be so rough I like um feisty during it hahaha". Laments the 'Boss' lost in a melancholic moment.
'" Sorry Boss" Todd replies.
"Now what to do with you boy, oh i know. Bois remember that boxing session we did, this is a perfect time to practice."
Before I can process moving, one of the thugs grabs me from behind and hoists me onto my feet. "Awh quite scrawny aincha, this is gonna hurt."
*Bash* *Bash* *Bash*
The thugs start taking it in turns hitting me, the face, the chest, the stomach nowhere survives. As I feel my consciousness begin to fade, and my flesh begin to numb, I feel the thug behind me drop me to the floor.
*Bam*
I just lie there clinging to my consciousness, unable to move. Thoughts running through my head. "Stupid, why did I have to be the brave arse. Why did I have to try and be the hero. Why..."
"Ahhhhh"*Rip*
" Heheheh we got a good one tonight bois, juicy little virgin."
"Ahh let go of me..."
*Fwoosh
Suddenly the wind begins to increase and a great golden light starts to light up the whole area. Shining, beyond the alley out into the junction and street.
"What the fu *bam...uuhuhuh" what looks like a hand suddenly blasts out of the thugs chest who had just ripped off the girls top, a hand gripping onto a still beating heart. *Scwelch* The hand retracts and the thug slumps to the floor.
"It is advised to put the girl down and step away immediately. Then you are advised to call the police and hand yourselves in. Failure to comply will result in immediate execution." A mechanical like voice seems to emanate from a seemingly semi-unconscious Zef.
"GARY, you fuc*ing bastard just you wait, I'll knife you u..." Just as one of the other thugs starts to pull out what looked like a flick knife, his head suddenly explodes projecting opposite from where Zef is currently standing. He also very quickly topples backwards onto the hard pavement of the alley floor.
"M..M..Mikey, oh sh**. Boss Jack I'm out of her.." *Bang* Ever wondered what a tortoise might look like with just it's shell and head. That is very comparable to the current state of the Thug who tried to leg it. "Escape mechanisms of enemy have been removed."
"ARGH, ARGH"
"Ooo god, we surrender." The boss Jack and his last 2 thugs, drop to their knees and start begging towards Zef.
"Surrender acknowledged, custody procedure activated." Four chains suddenly appear and wrap around each Jack and the remaining thugs.
"Police have been contacted." 'Danger to host averted, system shutting down' The golden light emanating from Zef suddenly dissipates and Zef falls to the ground this time atleast for a few hours, if not days.
Now an unconscious Zef, an unconscious yet oddly familiar young woman now we can see her more clearly, a chained thug boss and his three thugs. One of which is fully immobile and unfortunately bleeding rather heavily, as well as 2 dead bodies now populate this alleyway. Silence, complete stillness waiting for the inevitable sound of red and blue, as well as those with powers for good to arrive and clear up this situation...
