OOC: If you wish to powerplay Bailey, go ahead. I'm not touchy on that sort of thing. If you don't care as well, say so, so there's no confusion early on. Anyway, have fun!
Weak sunlight shone through cracks in the blinds and danced in scattered lines across the floorboards. Bailey sat up and and ran his fingers through his hair as he yawned. It was the first day at his new high school, and for most kids, that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, but Bailey was different from most kids. He had inexplicable powers, which sounds cool.
It's not. Not his.
The last school he went to was a school especially for kids with powers, but he was so bad that they kicked him out. Laminating things with your mind isn't exactly a fearsome power.
The new school had a class set up especially for kids with useless powers, which is why he's excited. Finally, kids like him! Budson High for the Inexplicably Gifted had a great track record. Some of history's greatest heroes and villians graduated from there, and the 'challenged' class taught kids how to deal with their powers in a way that would make them fit in with society and lead a normal life. This is just what Bailey wants, but unfortunately for him, the new Challenged class teacher, who is also starting today, has a can-do attitude about life, and he's determined to make a hero out of Bailey and his classmates, whether it's possible or not...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bailey sat down at the breakfast table. He never knew why they called it that, because at night it's the 'dinner table'. It should just be 'table'.
"Morning honey! Excited about school?"
"Yeah... actually, I am.''
"Good to hear. I made you pancakes this morning"
"Aww, thanks mum."
Baileys mum made the best pancakes. Despite being able to control water, Ashley was a damn good cook as well.
"Where's dad?"
Ashley sighed. "Work called late last night. Again. Demon was about to fire a doom laser again."
Bailey couldn't help but chuckle. Demon tried so hard to destroy the world, but time and time again Team Alpha stopped him. Points go out to the guy for persistence, though.
"How come they didn't call you?"
"They already had enough of heroes on standby, and the only reason they got your father is-"
"-Because he's the captain of Team Alpha"
"Right." She sat down at the 'breakfast table' with her stack of pancakes.
Bailey looked around. It wasn't often that it was just him and his mum sitting down for breakfast. It's usually the whole family.
"Where's Trent?"
"He's doing an orientation course for Team Alpha. He's got his exams next week."
"If he passes, won't he be the youngest to enter the team since it started?" Bailey said with a mouth full of delicious pancake. Statistics and similar things interested him. He got that from mum.
"Second youngest. Your father entered it at 17, whilst Trent is 19"
"... Cool..."
Bailey wished he wasn't such a let down. His brother, his mum and his dad were all part of Team Alpha, but he was the weak link of the family.
His mother knew what he was thinking. She'd often remind him that Lamination is one of her weaknesses, because she can't effectively attack with water in battle if he's waterproofed everything. This always cheered Bailey up, but he always wished he wasn't so freaking useless.
"You'd better hurry up, the bus is gonna be here soon."
She kissed him on the forehead as he got his stuff ready and headed out to the nearest bus stop.
