Superheroes on Minimum Wage

It seems pretty rude and insensitive of mysterious Maria to not give Lyra a braille version of her file.

Rainbow demon unicorns!...That's scary, right?

Dani's finally experimenting with her powers. This is the first time she's really opened up and run at a great speed (knowingly anyway) so there's a lot of adrenaline coursing through her right now. She's kind of like a kid on a sugar rush. The come down is going to be a bitch though.

Dani continually popped her claws with a flick of her wrist until Paul came barrelling into the training room behind her like a massive, dopey, freight train. He seemed to go from one extreme to the other. Tiny little fella to colossal giant. She wanted to make some kind of joke about personal growth but he was coming at her too fast, ironically. She smirked as she had an idea and as Paul approached in his giant form, Dani decided to test her speed by zipping around between his feet. She was a confusing blur of motion when she moved but she felt amazing. This speed felt so freeing. She could never go back to being normal after this.

There was another surge of adrenaline pumping through her and she couldn't restrain her smile. She had never felt this much energy in all her life. She felt like she could run for days. That thrill people got when driving at high speeds, when skydiving, when bungee jumping. That was how she felt right now. Her powers did that. She felt like she would never stop moving and she was fine with that.

She moved away from Paul and began sprinting around the entire training room in a circle. She was so oblivious to the outside world at this point that she didn't even realize she was kicking up a small whirlwind of air that was causing things to be lifted off the ground. When she finally caught something out of the corner of her eye moving, she skidded to a halt and everything came crashing down to earth with a thud. "Sorry about that!" she yelled to everyone present. She was completely unaware that she seemed to be blurring. She was so excited that she was actually vibrating.

Dani was more than a little annoyed when this mystery woman showed "explaining". She dropped the fire extinguisher on the floor with a loud clatter and was all set to make some smartass remark when more strangers arrived and whisked her and the other students off in cars with blacked out windows like something out of a movie about aliens. Maybe there were aliens. Maybe it was the aliens behind the 'dreams' they all had about medical experiments.

Unfortunately for Dani, she wouldn't find proof of aliens today. The truth was no less astounding though. Dani remained uncharacteristically quiet as they were whisked into the mysterious base and informed that they had been chosen to replace the Superhero Legion. Sitting at the large round table listening to the bombardment of information being thrown at her, Dani placed her head in her hands and tried to make sense of it all. She was conflicted. On the one hand, they were asking her to throw herself into danger against all manner of psychopath bad guys and...what...lie to her family about it? But on the other hand, superheroes got to go on all kinds of amazing adventures. And who wouldn't want that? Dani planned to go into space one day and 'Superhero' would certainly look good on her application to NASA.

After being shown their costumes, Dani was somewhat more sold on the idea. The 'Cheetah' costume that was given to her was bad ass. She was more and more ok with all of this insanity and when Maria left them to their own devices and Paul challenged the others to beat him to the training room, she smiled. She could feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She was pumped. She wanted to see what these new powers of herse could do. She knew she was fast but how fast?

Almost in the blink of an eye, Dani and the Cheetah costume were gone. She blazed out of the room, creating a gust of air in her wake. She managed to beat even Paul to the training room, despite his head start, which she was proud of. She had gotten dressed in her new costume on the way and as she waited for the others to arrive, she fiddled with her gauntlets. As she experimented with them, a number of metal claws popped from the fingertips, sending Dani's eyes wide. "Well that just seems unsafe." she mused to herself.

I feel like whoever gave these kids their powers is just sitting back and laughing at the chaos they're causing.

Dani took hold of Derek's hand when he seemed to be having a panic attack. "You're not in trouble" she reassured him. She had no way of actually knowing that but she knew Derek was a goody two shoes so it seemed unlikely. She had taken hold of her friends hand to comfort him but it soon became as much to comfort herself. She felt like she was going insane. Paul was shrinking, Velmont was melting, Tim was falling through Carol, Dave was throwing up and the kid whose name she didn't know set himself on fire.

That last one really set Dani off and before anyone knew it, she was on the other side of room with her back against the wall. She had moved so fast that no one could even see her move. One second she sitting next to Derek and the next she wasn't. She stood with her back to the wall for a second until she was gone again, reappearing in front of the human torch with a fire extinguisher which she quickly sprayed all over him.

Dani is not going to win over any friends anytime soon.

Dani's attention was slowly diverted away from Paul as others piled into the room. The Zombie was the first to distract her and Dani snorted slightly at the accusation that they were all there for the sole purpose of getting her into trouble. "Not everything is about you." she said with a roll of her eyes. She actually felt a little bit bad for the teacher. But only a little. Stuck in a dead end job, convinced that everyone hated you? That was sad. Ms Velmont was practically the polar opposite of Dani. Dani had tons of energy and a drive to go as far as humanly possible while the zombie just seemed lethargic and depressed. But that didn't mean Dani wanted her to get fired.

And then there was Tim, asking if anyone else had a weird dream. Dani tensed at the memory of her own dream. The dream had given her the creeps. The fact that Tim, who was actually in her dream, had also had a weird dream just made her even more creeped. She was uncomfortable with everything that was going on right now. And when Dani got uncomfortable, she got catty...Or more catty than usual.

"Aren't all your dreams weird, Lestat?" she practically hissed. The comment was uncalled for and she knew that but she wasn't going to apologize. "And is no one going to comment on Benjamin Button over here?" she asked the room, throwing a thumb towards Paul next to her while looking incredulously at everyone else.

Dani may be about to freak out and/or have a heart attack.
