Mercer City looked beautiful at night...
Half the street was burning
The screams were louder than the sirens..
Cars were flipped over, and shop fronts had fallen apart. Somewhere nearby, a fire alarm kept going off in the middle of all the chaos.
People ran in every direction
Some recording everything on their phones..
Because no matter how horrifying it got, people always recorded...
The heroes with extraordinary abilities...
They are meant to save the people
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.
A woman stumbled across the street barefoot, clutching her arm while blood streamed between her fingers, her forehead bleeding
....
HELP HIM! *screamed at someone*
Another explosion shook the street.
....
*screams loudly and falls onto the ground*
The crowd panicked instantly.
Police sirens echoed in the distance while helicopters flew overhead, their lights flashing through the smoky sky.
And in the middle of it all---
A boy sat casually on top of the wreckage of a collapsed cafe, one leg hanging lazily off the edge while flames reflected in his dark eyes.
Unknown~
*cigarette resting between his fingers*
He looked barely older than college age... which somehow made everything worse...
Unknown~
she looks so helpless...tch ridiculous asking for help ...
Paramedics were rushing toward injured civilians while reporters tried pushing through barricades.
He jumped down from the collapsed café, landing right in front of the woman.
....
*Stumbling backward immediately* P-Please help me
Unknown~
*looks down at her* stand up
....
*trying to stand up, her leg bleeding, being very injured* ugh...
Unknown~
*narrows his eyes as the woman somehow stands up*
....
Please help me...you are a supee...my car is parked nearby my mother-
Before she could even finish speaking, he raised his hand slightly....
Her head rolled across the street seconds later.
He steps over her head crushing it beneath his shoe, the brain coming out of the crushed skull
Unknown~
*taking a drag of his cigarette*
Nobody dared approach the boy directly.
One officer grabbed another by the arm before he could move closer.
He exhaled smoke into the cold night air chuckling to himself
Unknown~
Damn, VANTA’s PR team is gonna hate this one
Unknown~
*looked toward the burning bodies near the collapsed building entrance*
Unknown~
They called us heroes first
Then suddenly the rain started
The cigarette between his fingers went out
In the distance, lots of black cars finally arrived.
Their silver logo glowed against the wet streets as agents rushed out.
Unknown~
They're late as usual *throwing off the cigarette*
He shot upward into the dark rainy sky so fast the reporters barely managed to catch it on camera.
The reporters raised their cameras immediately.

A cheerful news intro filling the apartment as sunlight shines through half-open curtains.
A blonde anchor smiled from behind a desk.

A girl sitting on the couch staring at the television for a moment before grabbing the remote.
Aeris Nohr
*leaning back against the couch with an annoyed expression*
Aeris Nohr
*Dark hair messy from sleep as her oversized hoodie slipped off one shoulder*
Aeris Nohr

• Chapter 3 - Welcome to Mercer
At the back upper balcony reserved for the elite squad
The five of them leaned against the railing in their crisp black and crimson VANTA uniforms blanzers, pressure-weave fabrics that could handle a f*ckton of damage
They weren’t even pretending to pay attention to the dean’s bullshit speech below
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
*spinning a tiny flame between his fingers like a little toy*
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
*rolls his eyes* people are outright stupid to believe anything they see on the internet
Mirage looking down at the orientation, chuckling
Mirage~ {Aeron Virelceres}
*Adjusting his cuffs with a lazy smile that didn’t reach his eyes* Relax flames ... They’ll last a semester before half of them transfer out... or disappear
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
Fçkin comedy.. We gotta share air with these normie bïtches who probably cream their pantïes at the sight of a cuff
Mirage~ {Aeron Virelceres}
That’s usually how propaganda works
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
This coexistence shit is gonna give me blue balls
Swarm (Ilya Mori) standing a bit apart leaning on the desk, a couple of fat black beetles crawling lazily across his collar and into his sleeve
Swarm~ {Ilya Mori}
*talking to the bug* i know you are scared of those people...
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
You are disg*sting as usual *rolls his eyes at swarm*
Swarm~ {Ilya Mori}
*didn't reply*
Dread (Graves Arden) said nothing. He just cracked his neck with a wet pop.
Gravity (Evren Valek) standing slightly far from them leaning against a wall, arms loosely crossed, expression calm and unreadable like always
Gravity~ {Evren Valek}
They’re here because VANTA needs its little PR pets. Play nice in public
He walks towards the railing, he glanced down at the sea of new students, looking around for a second longer than necessary on nothing in particular
Gravity~ {Evren Valek}
But if any of them start digging anywhere near the restricted areas... you have permission to get creative...
Gravity~ {Evren Valek}
Roit, try not to turn the whole dorm block into a barbecue this time. Cleanup was annoying...
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
*laughs, snapping his fingers so the little flame explodes into the little shower of sparks*
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
No promises, boss. One of these civvie cúnts piss me off and I’ll make their insides wear their outsides...
Aeris sat in the middle rows beside Ruka, the black cuff they provided still resting in her lap
Ruka
*leg bouncing nonstop* gosh I'm so excited about this Aeris
unfortunately naomi and ness couldn't make it to the academy...but anyway
Aeris Nohr
Yeah, but my main question is what's this metal cuff for?*Raises an eyebrow*
Ruka
Cuffs ain't even important girl, I heard Mirage is gonna be one of the guides
Ruka
He’s so f*cking smooth, like he could tell you the sky is green, and you’d believe him while cre*ming your p"nties
Ruka
I’d let him distort my senses any day
Aeris Nohr
*smirks* you’re hopeless...at least pick someone less sketchy
The dean spoke again, cutting through the murmurs.
Dean
And now, to introduce the pillars of our coexistence initiative the Elite Enforcement Squad.
Dean
These outstanding enhanced students will serve as mentors, protectors, and first points of contact for any issues you may face on campus.
Dean
All problems academic, personal, or… otherwise should be brought directly to them.
The lights dimmed slightly.
Then the screaming started.
The five of them walked onto the stage like they owned gravity itself.
Roit (Nero) came in first, having that cocky grin on his face, waving at the crowd like a rock star then the others followed.
Aeris Nohr
*blushing slightly* {he looks even better in person... umm..}
Ruka
See?! That’s him. I’m dead. I’m actually deceased *looking at mirage*
The dean continues smoothly
Dean
The monitoring cuffs are a necessary precaution for everyone’s safety. They track vitals, location, and… unusual stress patterns. Once placed and activated by your assigned mentor
Staff moves through the rows faster now, snapping the black metal around wrists with clicks
One of the staff clicks onto aeris band
Aeris Nohr
*pauses for a min looking at the stage*
her eyes back to the stage riot was whispering something to mirage, who smirked, everyone was already murmuring about the cuffs'
Dean
*Raised his hands* To demonstrate our commitment to transparency, each of you will be briefly introduced to your assigned squad mentor after tomorrow's lecture. They will activate your cuffs personally
Ruka
*leaning in, whispering in ear* I heard they throw private parties in the restricted towers.
Ruka
Real f*cked up shit goes on there. S*x, blood, power games… the whole menu. Think we can get invited?
Before Aeris could answer-
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
*stepping forward first, grabbing the mic*
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
Yo! Civvies and freaks alike
Roit~ {Nero Vey}
Welcome to the Mercer academy~
