[sub]At the Gates of the Academy[/sub][/center][hr]

Been haunted by a million screams
But i can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street.[/color][/i][/center]
     With her earbuds firmly in place inside her small ears and the music playing loud enough to block out the chirping of the early birds, the young woman who had been dubbed Alexia Warren not so long ago walked the of the tall wall casually. She had arrived at the academy some time ago, and had used that time to walk a fair amount of the length of the wall to get a view of the campus and her future temporary home. The property she discovered was quite large with multiple buildings inside the long barrier. The open land with it's lack of skyscrapers outside the perimeter was vastly different from the familiar surroundings of New York. The fresh air was rather pleasant. Now, Alexia made her way back to the front gates for the sun was up and the academy would be opening.

She had taken an earlier flight than she was told. If she hadn't Alexia probably wouldn't have come. Why did she need to go to school? After all, Alexia had been bred to dawn a costume. Bred was clearly the wrong word, yet the fact remained. As she walked the wall the girl's light brown eyes would towards the academy's main building glancing at the windows. Alexia assumed they were both in there. One took part in her creation while the other had took pity upon her. One had left her for dead while the other gave her shelter. She was created by the villain to snuff out the hero. Now, here at this school for super-powered youngsters they were together supposedly all on the same side. So it seemed...

My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know, we'll never keep.[/color][/i][/center]
As she neared the gates Alexia saw many students had already entered the property and were making their way up the long drive way towards the school. Alexia dropped from the lofty barricade with grace and ease, a feat very difficult for an average human. She adjusted the strap of her duffel bag upon her shoulder as she began to follow behind her soon to be classmates. A black pair of converse high tops with checkered shoestrings made hardly a sound as she walked along the asphalt.  The faded pair of jeans that hugged the curve of her hips and rear nicely had large tears at the knees. She had been told that torn jeans was fashionable. A gray crop top with The Rolling Stones logo in the center with the words 'It's Only Rock 'n' Roll' written over it completed her current outfit. The short top left her midsection mostly exposed showing off her flat tummy and revealing just a hint of a six pack. She currently wore no make up, not that she needed it. Inside the duffel were the few clothes she owned besides the outfit she now wore, all of which were bought by the hero that had taken her in not so long ago. Much like the duffel bag that hung from her shoulder Alexia's clothes were nothing special. Many would call them vintage. Not vintage like the high priced items one would by at the mall, but truly vintage clothing once worn by others and purchased at a local Goodwill store. Except for the undergarments which were obviously bought brand new. The only other bit of clothing that would be considered new was the bodysuit provided by her creators just for her. Also included inside the duffel were a few school supplies, mainly spiral notebooks, pens, and an ipad. Finally, three novels were included in Alexia's bag. Or rather, three [i]graphic[/i] novels that feature each featured different superheroes. Neither of the books were in the greatest of condition for they too were picked up at the Goodwill.

There's too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.[/color][/i][/center]
Alexia hadn't seen the fireball streak through the sky nor did she witness its landing, but she did indeed feel the impact a few feet behind her. She spun around, her long thick brunette locks whipping back, to see what had happened as she thought perhaps something had hit the outer wall and maybe to vehicles had ran into one another. Instead, emerging from a cloud of smoke and smoldering pavement... was a boy. Though somewhat curious as to his means of transportation, Alexia was not so much impressed by the boy himself. Brushing her hair back in place Alexia turned around once more to continue her trek towards the school.

And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.[/color][/i][/center]
