Thread: A Hero's Dilemma

Kira put on her ice glare. Think of me as one of those lovely drill sergeants. You do not speak unless spoken to, and failure to follow will result in some rather harsh, if not fun for me, lessons. I wasn't looking for any right answer, I was looking to see what she in particular thought. However... Kira relaxed herself a bit, and for the first time all day looked slightly semi approachable. I do like that you seem have a drive to get things done. However, please refrain from answering unless I single you out. I pick the person with good reason. As for you- Kira's eyes wandered toward Valerie again, Being that we're on the first floor, I'll expect you to not be quite so late next time. Kira had a look as though she wasn't sure if Valerie was just unlucky or dumb. Perhaps she over judged her though. In her days of going to school, Kira had always arrived early to get a good seat and watch other people flow into the room. As she took Valerie's paper and glanced at its contents, she suddenly decided the girl was just a tad idiotic. Hopefully that could be fixed with a few class periods. Oh, and by the way, I expect both of you to be in the front seats from now on. You- she pointed at the boy, Show enough intelligence to not be so far back from me. You may go. She didn't wait for them to leave, but exited the room, shuffling the papers in her hands and glancing at what everyone wrote. God, some of these kids could barely form sentences. There was a boy, Chase, who had control over fire, that wanted to be called flamesexgod because That's what I am man! She groaned. She forgot that the downside to a beginner's class is you get all the idiots... Suddenly she stopped and stood where she was for a moment. ...Contrary to popular belief Bart, you are not some undetectable fly on the wall. She spoke calmly to the emptiness around her. Then, one of the walls to her left seemed to shiver, before suddenly showering a frowning man. You know you're not suppose to use civilian names when someone's in costume! He grumbled. He was a short man, only about 5'5, and his short combed hair showed some signs of thinning. His entire getup currently looked to be one nude colored body suit, but it seemed to keep shimmering, as if trying to change colors. He huffed a bit as he realized he was ignoring her. I don't see why you got onto those kids in class. It's only the first day. Kira smirked. If I let those kids think I'm soft or nice they'll try to walk all over me Ba- Bart glared at her. -Oh alright, Camo-Hog. You know kids make fun of your odd name. I mean it barely covers one of your powers... How did I do otherwise? She asked, starting to walk again. Well, I suppose ignoring you being a bit of a tight ass, you did pretty well. I'll follow you to your house and then be off. He set after her, working to keep at the speed she was going. I gotta say, some of those kids in there are stupid as can be. No thoughts except wondering what your look like without clothes. Most of them were boys too. I forget how little the public learns about our- But suddenly Bart stopped speaking, knowing he was treading on a tender ground. He hadn't been around for her to lose her mind, but he remembered the after affects and the shock. He and Kira had been in the same graduating class, and she had been pretty darn nice to the awkward guy. He would've never imagined her capable of such power or anger. Then again... He couldn't imagine the pain she felt in losing White Luce. Most of the public assumed them to be friends, but everyone at Heroes Alliance had known that they were dating. Before her untimely death, rumors of them getting married had been spreading. Camo-Hog? Camo-Hog. BART! Bart jumped as Kira yelled in his face. He had apparently been daydreaming. Kira gave a small smile. Careful there, watchers aren't suppose to get caught up in daydreams when watching people you know. We're here. I'll see you tomorrow alright? Bart, suddenly flustered, nodded and quickly leaped away. Kira sighed. He had been awkward in his youth, and not much had changed since then. Quietly she walked into her empty apartment, setting her papers down on the table and locking the door behind her. Eyes glancing around, she felt a twinge in her heart when she realized she had been looking for her again... Shaking her head, Kira sat herself down and buried herself into the paper pile. She didn't want to think about the past right now.
