HERO HIGH 2 - The Mystery

Raphael brought his two hands forth, directing them towards the wall and the window in front of him. As he sent out some sort of pulse, the window and wall seemed to turn invisible. He brought his hands behind his back once again and he walked trough it as if it was air. As he had passed the invisible wall and window, they returned visible and solid again. He was now on the outside of the school, looking around. He decided to have a look around, at the surroundings before heading back to his fortress.

The few students that were still outside stared at him. He was a large man, wearing a medieval armor and his bearded face made him quite obviously too old for school. He brought quite the attention over himself, even though none of them outside recognized him as Raphael Thorne. He focused for a moment, and his belt started glowing bright. During the evening, the light functioned as a sort of 360 degree's flashlight, allowing him to see everything up bright for roughly a 10 meter radius.

(Don't think about it 😛 Like I said, I wouldnt have made the post any different, except for perhaps use different words. No harm done, and to me, the most important thing is that my character moves forward 😄 Feel free to use her whenever you want in the future 😉)

Skiv then got closer to Derek and whispered in his ear.

"Your life is in my hands, boy" and with that he was gone.

Skiv appeared right outside the school walls, he began walking towards it when he noticed a large bearded man in medieval armor.

What the hell is a viking doing here

He vanished in a cloud of blue dust and appeared behind him

"Are you a teacher here or something?"

Throne turned towards the speaker, arching an eyebrow as he turned. He deactivated the light that his belt projected and he grinned while shaking his head "I hear you are not following the news very frequent, boy. The only thing I could teach here would be respect" Thorne's voice was dark, and had the strength of a well-trained man. He raised one hand and started scratching his beard as he peered the man up and down "And you would be..?"

Skiv raised an eyebrow in intrigment, and smilied at the question of him watching the news.

"I'm Skiv, and why would i watch the news i'm not even of this world..or universe for that matter."

"Your part of this world right now.. and knowledge is power.. For instance, by hearing your name I know your a magician.. I have heard of you.. Perhaps its for the best that you havent heard of me, or my work" Raphael grinned, taking a step closer to Skiv and placed a heavy hand over Skiv's shoulder. He turned then with a gesture towards the school "Why are you here?"

Skiv moved Thorne's hand off os his shoulder, and put his chin in his hand while he looked up. After a few moments of pause he just looked at Thorne and shrugged

"I'm not exactly sure my master sent me here, but everytime i show weakness he brings be back home and gets angry at me. O and about your work what ever it is i doubt its bad enough that i shouldnt know."

"Interesting" Raphael brought his hands behind his back and turned from the school towards Skiv. With a shrug of his shoulder did he nudge the cape down over his back and he smiled as he did so. He raised his head towards the skies, gazing the stars "My name is Raphael Thorne. I'm the founder of Thorne Enterprise, a world-wide technological company. I have dedicated my life to keep the likes of you in your places. I have dedicated my life to prove that we normal humans are not inferior"

Skiv's facial expression bcame one of a slighlty annoyed man.

"By like me do you mean my people, or just people with powers in general. And most of your planet is inferior in the sense that most are weak and stupid and that goes for normal humans and those with powers."

Thorne laughed briefly, his tone dense and dark. He lowered his head to look Skiv into the eyes, shaking his head as he did. As the grin on his bearded face faded, he took a deep breath, although it could easily have been confused with a sigh "Metahumans. Superhumans. Call it what you want. You sit on your high horses with your magnificent powers, believing that the world is yours. I am just a normal man trying to stand up for the human race. Stand up against you aliens, mutants and superhumans. Now dont get me wrong. I am not targeting you as an individual. In fact, I even have a tendency of hanging out with metahumans, for as long as they share my vision"

Skiv now bcemoming even more annoyed with what the man was saying he raised his hand and began to clench the air, as he did this hand began glowling and a small ring blue ring beagn tightening around Thornes neck.

"You are begining to annoy me with your considering me one of them. So do you have something to want, because the way you speak is like your trying lead up to somthing"

"Repulse" Thorne sighed with a cold voice, and his armor sent out a type of vibration, making the blue ring surrounding his neck disappear. He arched an eyebrow and glanced Skiv "Dont get hot headed. I may not have any powers, but that doesnt give you the right to go about threatening me. Now that I've gotten to know you, I think I might have a proposition for you. A proposition I will share with you under the condition that you wont try something as foolish as magic against me again. Threatening me will get you nowhere" Raphael brushed over his shoulder with one of his hands, for no appearant reason. His shoulderplate werent dirty or anything, but he did so anyway. Probably did he do it to show that the temper of Skiv was not something Thorne worried over.

Skiv breifly luaghed

"Just so you know that was probbly my weaknesss attack, so dont go thinking you did something special. And what is your proposition?"

"And you think that action of mine was something special? Underestimate your opposition is more dangerous than facing an opponenent more powerful than yourself" Raphael brought his hands behind his back again and turned with his back towards Skiv. He looked out towards the forrest and up towards the stars, a smile on his face "There's a war coming, Skiv. My propisiton is merely to have you fight for the right side"

Skiv smilied and shook his head

"What do possibly have to offer me, in return for my service"

"More than you think, my friend. A position in the new world order, sanctuary, power, a future. Once the war arises to its full scale, you should pick your side wisely. Your petty friends on the school may have muscles, but I have the mind and technology. I also have manpower and resources"

"First of all i have my own world, second i easily go to a whole nother dimension, Third i have plently of power fact my power just increased earlier today, i have a future, you may have manpower but i can create literally create an army with the wave of a hand, and finally i accept just because i feel you derseve a shot at changing the world." He then reached his hand out towards thorne

"Tempting offer, but I do not need your pity. I see you have made your choice in the matter, but I hope your are ready to face the concequences of your choices. Your magic will not keep you as safe as you may think. This school is not as stabile as one could think. All things has an achilles heel, even one as powerful as you" Thorne looked at the hand of Skiv, but had no intentions of grasping it. He had the will, but lacked the motive. He werent a propriate soldier for Thorne.

Peter smiled when he heard her question, had she answered it a few seconds ago he would have had no idea, but now he was sure that it was the only place to go, even though he wasn't sure if it was safe this late but it was still summer and he could still see relative good even though it was late at night.

"We are going to the Roof remember?"

Peter said tighting his grip around her waist pulling her close to him, closer then he actually expected. He could see the stairs on the outside slowly appearing in front of them.

As he pulled her closer, and close enough for the two to bump into eachother, Saleena smiled, but blushed more than ever. She didnt take distance even then though, and kept on walking towards the stair which he had pointed towards. She had no memory of the two having agreed on the roof, but she didnt mind it. In fact, she loved it. The roof, wheever she lived or was, had always been like a hideout for her. A place to think. A place of privacy.

"I remember"

She smiled, pretending she had memory of the agreeal revolving the visit of the roof. She held his hand that he had by her waist and looked then straight ahead, towards the school.
