Finally, at long last, I bring you chapter one of the story everyone's been looking forward to! More info will be in the A/N at the bottom of this story, but I hope you enjoy! BTW, Skylar didn't have powers when I planned this story (in fact, I had to change it a lot to fit Elite Force) so she doesn't have powers. It's a LITTLE AU, but considering she's the main character, you'll get why this is crucial in a few chapters. BTW, thanks to Writer207 for letting me bounce ideas off of you! You were a big inspirational help! Now, without further ado, the story!

Skylar Storm flipped into the penthouse of Centium City, a huge smile on her face.

"Whoa, what's got you all excited?" asked Bree, who was sitting at the bar area of their kitchen.

"You won't believe what I got in the mail!" squealed Skylar.

"Let me guess, shoes made for girls with fourteen toes?" asked Kaz, from where he sat on the sofa.

Skylar gave Kaz an annoyed look. "No, it's a letter from…the SSA!"

"What's that?" asked Chase, before continuing in a mocking tone. "The 'Superhero School Association'?"

"Yup!" cheered Skylar, as Chase almost choked.

"Don't tell me there's a superhero NBA as well!" gasped Chase.

"Nope, but we have a pretty great soccer team."

"Superheroes, I'm done," said Chase, slumping down on the couch beside Kaz.

"What's it say?" asked Oliver, who'd just come downstairs.

"That's the best part!" shouted Skylar. "We've all been accepted into the most prestigious superhero high school!"

"Why?" asked Bree. "Did you enroll?"

"First of all," began Skylar. "I said 'we'. Second, I didn't. I don't really know how we're enrolled, but what's important is that we are!"

"I bet they heard about my mad skill and begged Mr. Davenport to let me in," said Kaz, with a smirk.

All heads turned when they heard a chuckle from the staircase, and two canine figures trotted down the stairs. These two are Boji, the white wolf with blue eyes, and Fang, Boji's mate who had brown fur and gold eyes. It was Boji who was chuckling as she said. "Might want to get off that high horse of yours, Kaz, I actually enrolled you."

"You?" asked Bree. "Why? How?"

"You see…" began Boji. "Ever since Mighty Med burned down, I've missed using my healing powers to help people. It feels like the power is just burning inside me, waiting to be used. So, when I found out the high school needed a nurse I signed up and got the job. They allowed me to enroll you, with Mr. Davenport's permission of course."

"I helped enroll you, too!" added Fang. "I'm going to be a defense guard there!"

"All you said was 'bionic people aren't as annoying as they look'!" yelled Boji.

"So?" asked Fang. "It's helpful, considering all the bionics you're enrolling."

"Wait…I thought it was just us you enrolled," said Chase, suspiciously.

"Well…" began Boji. "I also enrolled some others, the school has some empty dorms so I was allowed. I invited Spark, since Mighty Med is destroyed, and Kate, Logan, Taylor, Leo, and Adam from the bionic island."

"ADAM AND LEO?!" shouted Chase and Bree, big smiles breaking across their faces. They hadn't seen their siblings for so long, and now they might be together again.

"SPARK?!" shouted Kaz, in terror.

"Yes!" said Boji. "And Mr. Davenport let them all go!"

"But what if the world needs us?" asked Bree.

"You better hope you're only needed during the summer," Boji chuckled. "But really, don't stress. There's plenty of older superheroes who can take care of things while you're away."

"Where is this school, anyway?" asked Chase.

"You'll see," said Boji, winking.

"A bus will pick us up, after picking up Spark and the bionics," began Fang. "You guys better make a good impression, this is the first time the school's ever allowed bionics. I'm looking at you, Tail-Squasher." Fang gestured to Chase, and narrowed his eyes. Ever since Chase stepped on Fang's tail in February, Fang has held it over Chase's head.

"Now get packing!" yelled Boji, herding the kids upstairs. "You only have one day!"

Cyd Ripley raced down the street, heading home from school.

"Wait up!" shouted Shelby Marcus, her best friend, who was lagging behind.

"I don't wanna!" whined Cyd, although she did slow to a bouncy walk. "Something's different today, can't you feel it?"

"Cyd, I have no idea what you're talking about," gasped Shelby, once she'd caught up to Cyd.

"Can't you feel the electricity in the air?"

"That sounds painful!"

"Come on, Shelbs!" whined Cyd.

"Are you sure you didn't have too much ice cream during lunch?" asked Shelby. "That was the explanation last time you were this hyper!"

"I'm not kidding!"

"What has you feeling this way?" asked Shelby.

"Um…I don't know…" Cyd murmured. "It's kind of how we feel after we encounter Janet Smyth, except this time it's a good feeling. Like the air is buzzing!"

"Well, until you can pinpoint where this feeling is coming from, you shouldn't get your hopes up. Today is mom's burrito night, and the only air 'buzzing' will be coming from Bret and Chet."

"Ooh! Burritos!" cheered Cyd, and just like that she'd moved to a whole new topic.

But the feeling would last.

"Hurry up, guys!" shouted Fang. "You need to get your luggage by the door, we're leaving bright and early tomorrow morning!"

In the boys' room, Chase was trying to fit a globe and three textbooks into his bag, depressed when he realized (using a mathematical calculation, of course) there was physically no way to fit it all in. He ultimately left the globe behind, kissing it goodbye.

Oliver packed fairly sensibly, clothes, comic books, etc. The only unconventional thing he took was a scrapbook of photo shopped pictures of him and Skylar, which anyone could've told him wasn't a good idea to bring to a high school.

Kaz, finally, was having an…interesting time packing. He'd stuffed a blender, swirly straws, a fish tank, fifty comic books, clothes, action figures, scuba gear, video games, a folding limbo stick, a lava lamp, and a skateboard into his bag. This, of course, did not all fit. "Hmm…" wondered Kaz, pondering his dilemma. "…Oh well, who needs underwear?" He quickly threw out the underwear and zipped the bag shut.

Meanwhile, in the girls' room, Bree was trying to fit every outfit and electronic she had into her trunk. This worked, however, there wasn't much space for, well, anything else. Bree shrugged, there was probably a school store anyway.

Skylar prepared to pack her clothes, too, when Bree gasped. "You're so out of season!"

"Hey!" snapped Skylar.

"I'm taking you shopping," said Bree, in a tone that suggested there was no way out of it.

"But we're supposed to pack!" whined Skylar, but Bree had already grabbed her arm and supersped her out.

Xxx

After returning from their shopping trip, Skylar having turned down all of Bree's 'suggestions', the girls met the boys up, suitcases packed, at the door.

"Are you guys ready?" squealed Skylar, as they gathered up their bags and headed into the elevator. "This is going to be the time of our lives!"

"Yeah, yeah," said Bree, a tiny smirk at Skylar's overwhelmingly positive attitude.

"Skylar, aren't you…um…worried?" asked Chase.

"Why?" asked Skylar, genuinely confused. This was going to be the best four years of her life, why be worried?!

"Well…uh…you aren't exactly…ahem…a hero, now, are you?" Chase said, slowly, so as not to offend Skylar. Unfortunately, this did not work.

"Are you kidding me?" snapped Skylar. "Two weeks and you people still don't believe in me…"

"It's not that!" Oliver interjected, quickly, before the situation could get out of hand. "Chase just wanted to…make sure you'd be safe, right?"

"Right!" Chase said, a little too quickly and loudly.

"Well, you can tell Chase," Skylar began, shooting a cool look in Oliver's direction, "that I can take care of myself."

"Guys, guys, calm down!" demanded Fang. "Look, just because Mr. Davenport is at home with Tasha doesn't mean you can start World War Three!"

"Okay, okay," said Skylar, cooling down. "I guess you're right, beside, what's the worst that could happen?"

Xxx

Cyd picked at the broccoli set beside her burrito, deep in thought. After having to endure Bret and Chet screaming 'the burrito brothers are back!' for two hours, she didn't get any time to relay her thoughts. Now, at the dinner table, her questions came flooding back. What had made her act so crazily anyway? Why did she feel like something was about to change? And was she right that this was going to be good? Cyd certainly didn't want to put Shelby in danger chasing fantasies, but she still couldn't help but think some time, some time soon, things were going to change.

"Mrs. Marcus?" asked Cyd. "Has there been anything new in the news lately?"

"Not really. Why, Cyd? You've never been interested in the news," probed Mrs. Marcus.

"N-no reason, I was just curious," Cyd murmured, quietly looking down at her food.

"Is something on your mind, Cyd?" asked Mr. Marcus.

"N-no!"

"Good, because I wasn't really interested anyway."

Cyd sighed. "I'm not really hungry, I think I'm just going to head upstairs."

"But Cyd, you love burritos!" exclaimed Shelby, in confusion.

"Yeah, but…I need to think about some things, just put mine in the fridge," Cyd said, heading upstairs.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Mrs. Marcus, when Cyd was gone.

"I don't know, probably a teenage thing," muttered Mr. Marcus.

Xxx

Cyd laid on her bed, pondering the events of that morning. She rubbed her head, "Ow! My brain hurts!"

Cyd wasn't sure what would become of her and Shelby, and though she knew she should fear the worst, something kept tugging at her mind, making her wonder just how bad this would be. It felt like something good was coming, and whatever it was, she just wanted it to come faster.

Cyd shut her eyes, still in her clothes, hoping that if she fell asleep, tomorrow would come sooner. Whatever was going to happen, she could face it. Her, and Shelby.

Skylar stood at the corner of the street, in confusion. She stared at the sky, searching the air, for what her companions didn't know. "I-I don't get it! The bus should be here by now!"

"Uh, Skylar, buses are on the ground, not in the sky," corrected Chase. He turned to the others, and pointed at Skylar with a smirk. "Aliens, am I right?"

Skylar rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I know that, but this is supposed to be…different."

"Um…let's wait a few more minutes, okay?" asked Oliver. "They're probably just running late."

Before they knew it, as Oliver had said, an old bus pulled up to the curb, and the door opened.

"Ron Wilson, bus driver," the driver introduced himself.

"This is a superhero-school vehicle?" asked Chase.

"Hey, we need to be careful of wandering eyes, Spikey," snapped Ron.

Fang burst out laughing. "Spikey, I like that!"

Chase rolled his eyes, grabbing the bags. "Yeah, yeah. I just thought it'd be…cooler."

Despite Chase being largely unimpressed, and Bree, Kaz, and even Oliver thinking this was the most anticlimactic situation ever, Skylar was practically fangirling over the bus driver. "I-I can't believe it's you! You're famous!"

"Why yes I am," said Ron with mock arrogance and a smirk. "I like you, you're one of the bubbly ones."

"Famous for…?" Bree cut in to voice her confusion.

"He was-" began Skylar, but Ron cut her off.

"I can explain, honey," Ron said. "You see, I was born to two super-powered parents, but under a rare case I wasn't born with powers myself. However, I fell into a vat of toxic waste and got powers, so…yeah!"

"Why are you still a bus driver then?" asked Bree.

"Well, I used to work for the mayor, battling giant robots," explained Ron. "But I'm getting older and decided to go back to the simpler times. Beside, have you seen the condition of these buses? This school needs me."

"Of course they do!" cried Skylar, almost swooning.

"Okay, Skylar, honey, let's step away from the crazy man," said Bree, pulling Skylar back. She was genuinely convinced this guy was crazy and taking advantage of innocent people like Skylar.

"Bree, he's telling the truth!" protested Skylar. She turned to Chase, and pleaded. "I know the bus looks plain, but trust him!"

"In all my life, I have never seen a giant robot," argued Bree.

"Isn't that what you are?" asked Skylar, with annoyance.

"First, ouch," said Bree. "Second, I am not a robot. And third, I am certainly not giant." She tugged on the waist band of her shirt, looking very offended.

"Lots of superheroes save the day at the speed of light," offered Oliver, though he still didn't sound convinced. "Maybe Ron Wilson does that?"

"You hit the nail on the head, Waterboy," said Ron.

"Wait, how did you know about my powers?" asked Oliver. "And can I have a better nickname than 'Waterboy'?"

"Uh, Boji sent me all your information, duh," said Ron.

"Okay, okay," snapped Chase. "Are we boarding or not, because I'm currently holding all your luggage!" The group turned to see Chase struggling with five suitcases, plus Boji and Fang's doggie bags.

"Hey, man," came a voice from the back of the bus, suddenly. "What's the hold up? Did a goat eat a tire?" A handsome, strong-looking boy came out from the back of the bus to question Ron, followed by a skinny African-American boy. Bree and Chase's eyes widened, they'd know that 'Leo-Glow' from anywhere.

"ADAM!" "LEO!"
