Heroes Chapter 4

I was frozen in place. I don't know why, but this one kid scared me. He had dirty blond hair, a pilot bomber leather jacket, jeans, and combat boots. He wore a cocky grin, silver tinted blue eyes, and a scar that went over his eye, past his lip, and ended at his chin.

There were three others with him. One was a skinny black kid with a Raiders Jersey. There was a girl with olive green skin and her long black hair tied in a pony tail, which now hung over her shoulder. The last girl was pale, had short black hair, piercings on her nose and ear, and wore an assortment of black clothes.

They were laughing, as if joking about something. The first kid walked up to me and said, "Hey! Snow White is awake guys!" They all laughed, except for Dexter and myself. He turned back to me. "What's your name new kid?" I glared back at him. "Alexander. Alex if you want. Speaking of which, what do you want with me?" He laughed. "Nothing man, we're just trying to live around here, ya know? We go out and scavange for whatever we can. Nerd over here just caught a glimpse of what happened on a satelite and told us to help you out. You're in Middle-of-Nowhere, Ohio now." I looked at him, the others, the room, and the one he called Nerd.

I said, "Where's my stuff?" He jerked his thumb over to a table that had my bag. I guess I missed it. I said, "How did you guys do that stuff, that I saw back there?" The room got really quiet. The kid with the Jersey said, "Maybe we could tell him?" The first kid glared at him. The goth rolled her eyes and stepped up next to the scary one. She said, "This is Ares, I'm Mira, that's Kenny, and the girl there is Jessie. You've already met Dexter I bet." I nodded and Dexter coughed.

Mira turned her attention back to me. I just realized that her eyes are shifting colors. I couldn't tell what color they were. When she came in they were blue, just a minute ago they were green, right now they're looking brown. She said, "We're the standard freakish teens, with freakish super powers. Do you have one?"
