Dani Wyngarde punched Alley Amherst in the mouth. Immediately, the silver-haired girl took a step back and narrowed her eyes. “What’s wrong?” Alley smiled slightly. The other freshman had asked for help with basic hand-to-hand before Gym turned into combat and alternative training next semester. They’d taken to drilling a […]
Darius Walker rode into town looking for short term labor or construction work, as the bills in his wallet were depressingly low. The rumor was that Lander’s HCP had a disturbingly energetic bunch of young supers and anywhere energetic, young, and super collided things were bound to need fixing. But […]
Skylar O’shaughnessy was currently hesitating. It was a situation the Boston native, and daughter of a tough street smart beat cop, had never found herself in before. The youngest of five and the only girl among them, Skylar had learned to be tougher than her older brothers even before the […]
Thomas Coal watched the altercation from the shadows. Well, to be more accurate, as part of the shadows. He thought about intervening but he wasn’t even supposed to be on campus here yet. He couldn’t even apply to the HCP for another two years. He didn’t think that was fair, […]
