Ben laid in bed. There was nothing worse to him that the beginning of a new school year. There was really no point for that matter. He knew another attack was inevitable. Plus, the whole thing about students dying had him and the other Heroes going for a loop.
There was no way any of them could find out what was happening. Janet couldn't since anything. Andy couldn't see anything. And he and Lance's magiks were turning up squat. This had them all more than stupified. What made things worse was that it was just the students that were being targeted. Kids. Innocent, unprepared kids.
The government was of little help, as well. They knew less of what the Heroes knew and for all of their supposed resources, they were turning up just as much as the Heroes.
The bright side, he was married now.

Andy was a student now and he was pleased. There was nothing like his training sessions with Janet to hlep him deal with his precognition. Every time he got a vision, it barely harmed him now. Plus he was learning new things from his future self that was thouroughly shocking to him.
The fact that he was connected to every living person on the planet took a bit of adjusting to. Especially when someone died. But that was a story for another time.
He was always ahead in his classes. Not because his adoptive family were in charge of the school, but because he had an eidetic memory. Andy never forgot what he saw, read or learned. Being able to see the future also helped. There were those times where he "peeked" ahead to get some of the answers for something that he didn't study. Ben and Kat would never know this.
But when kids started dying, that was another thing altogether. He could barely get a grip when the first three died within 17 days of each other. And his future self wasn'y revealing anything. He said that it would change too many things in unforseen ways. Naturally, Andy tired to get glimpses of what was happening, but something powerful always blocked him. There was nothing he could do and he felt terrible about that.
What a way to start the new school year.

Simon was okay taking care of the Shadow Lands. He knew about Hero High, but there was really nothing anyone could do until something was figured out. And he was completely content with that. Ben would alert him when they knew somthing. But until that time, the Shadow Lands and his mate, N'Xsus, had his full attention.
