Amy groaned as she slowly began to wake. She didn’t know where she was, or how she got there. She hadn’t been in a situation like this in... forever, actually. She didn’t often find herself in stranger’s bedrooms after a wild night out. But... she wasn’t even in a bed. Her back ached something fierce and she felt sore all over. There was a strangle tingling in her arms that wasn’t going away anytime soon. She slowly blinked her eyes open, and saw a figure standing up beside a table not too far away. It was a tall figure, a blonde boy with bright eyes, a familiar face as Amy’s memories slowly started to catch up to her. She sat up, pulling some of her dark curls back behind her head to get them out of her line of vision.
”Todd!” She exclaimed. The tall boy holding the piece of paper jumped. His shadow moved with him in the light. Beyond Todd’s figure, Amy could see the stretch of city in the large, wall-length window the podium was in front of. There was a sense of smog in the area, a sense of darkness that Amy couldn’t quite place. The only light in the city seemed to be coming into their window. This wasn’t Salem.
She hoisted herself up and looked around – then noticing a few familiar faces. Max and Ace were there, not too far away from her original resting spot. She saw Arthur and Ms. Summers close together a few feet away from them, looking like they were about to wake. She recognized Ethan and Cleo, and Mal, Gracie, and Oliver. She figured they’d all be waking soon so she left them be and moved over to Todd. He held the letter in the light for her, and she was finally able to read it.
I’m sure you’re confused about why you’re here. A member of our organization will come to answer any questions you have shortly.
You are the new Heros of our city. Our former Heros were tragically defeated a month ago and ever since the Villains have taken over and had free reign on the city. It is up to you to defeat them and you are our only hope. You have all been given superhuman capabilities that can stand a chance to fight against our tyrannous leaders.
As you wake up, you will gain ‘memories’ with the abilities you’ve been given – you will know the ropes of the ability as well as how to use it and how to work around its weaknesses.
Please. Don’t listen to the Villains. When they discover you they will likely try many ways to get your group of their way. They will seduce you, they will manipulate you, and they will try to kill you. We, the citizens of the city, are putting our faith in you to restore our city to its former glory, when our prior Heros were protecting us from these creatures of darkness.
You are our only hope.
Amy finished reading with a furrowed brow, her lips pressed into a tight line.
”Superpowers? No way do we have superpowers.” She said, though the tingling in her hands wasn’t going away. She twisted her arm left and right, trying to wake the limb up.
”I do.” Todd said. His voice was soft, but didn’t lack conviction. ”I... I woke up a few minutes ago and I... I got this weird, tingling sensation and I, I...”
Todd looked up at the ceiling and Amy followed his gaze. There was a hole in the roof, one that leaked sunlight. Now that she focused on Todd’s hair she saw the remains of roof flecks in it. She opened her mouth to ask a question, but Todd beat her to it.
”I can grow. I can get big -- bigger than this room. Do you think they’ll get mad at me for ruining the roof?” He sounded anxious, and Amy shrugged, gently nudging him in the arm.
”Even if they do, it wouldn’t be fair. They gave you this power after all, and I – what’s mine?” She cut herself off and looked at her arms. They were tingling... they were tingling... she closed her eyes and flicked her arm. She just wanted to see her ability! And when she opened her eyes her wish was granted. The world seemed to stop. Todd was in the middle of speaking. Amy gasped and looked around the still room. No one breathed, twitched, or moved – they were still. But she could move. Amy walked forward, approached Mal, and placed her arm over Gracie’s chest. Odd. She could lift things. She then maneuvered herself over to Ace and took his finger and, in a humorous manner, poked one of his fingers into his own ear. She did this for everyone in the room – putting their limbs in humorous positions – until she got up and waved her hand again.
”—and it’s just – why are you laughing?” Todd saw the giggle in Amy’s expression and she gestured to everyone, with their limbs in odd positions. Todd blinked, and looked at her.
”My power! I can stop time. I can change things!” She grinned as she looked at Indy and Ben, who she had maneuvered closer together in her typical ‘shipper’ way. She heard a yawn from the side and turned to look over at Susan, who was sitting up with her brother still sleeping beside her. She turned to Todd and Amy.
”Is that why I woke up with my finger up my nose?! You’re ridiculous, Amy!” She giggled and stood up, brushed her dress down, and approached the duo with the note. ”My... what’s this? Powers?”
Susan too was given an opportunity to read the note and she seemed to grow more and more confused with each word. She read it over a second time, trying to process what it was she was being presented with. They had superpowers now? They had to save the world? She was certain she must be dreaming! This was too ridiculous. But as she looked from Todd to Amy, she realized they were all just as confused. Behind them, the rest of the room had begun to stir. Outside the window, the wind picked up, swirling in a dizzying manner. Wind entered the room through the hole Todd had made in the ceiling. It swirled the three’s hair about their heads and when they heard a groan coming from behind, they all turned.
Arthur sat up, rubbing his head as though he’d hurt it. It was pounding. He didn’t know where he was, or why he woke up with his hand shoved halfway up his shirt. He was in a tank top and jeans. He looked around the room and, when he recognized nothing, he turned around to the front of the room. He saw Susan smiling his way, but his attention was stolen by the window, the outsides of which were not familiar to him.
”Were we kidnapped or some shit?” He asked. Amy shrugged.
”I guess so. Look at this.” She said. Arthur got up and ignored his sister’s quip about him cussing in public like this. He examined the note and frowned. Powers? The fuck did that mean? While he read over the note, Todd turned towards the rest of the sleeping individuals and waited for them to stir into consciousness as well, and also, waited for the arrival of that person who supposedly brought them here in the first place.
