(1) A Hero Rises

The sun rises upon the town of Nottingham, light illuminating the darkened shadows of the night. The early morning silence is disturbed by a female's high pitched scream.

Moments later a male wearing a black mask and all black clothing would be spotted running down the streets holding a red handbag.

A female with auburn brown hair, rode a skateboard down a perpendicular street from the thief. She wore a Nottingham baseball cap backwards on her head, she also wore a Nottingham High School mandatory uniform - a short sleeved sweater vest, a tie, a skirt, knee high socks, and dress shoes all in the colours for the high school. The female carried standard issued book bag, completely unaware of the situation that was about to happen.

The male dashed out in front of the female, giving her little to no time to react. The male was larger than her, so the female ended up onto her butt.

"Ow." The female groaned as the male picked up her skateboard.

"May I borrow this?" The male asked. "Thanks!" He replied before giving her a chance to. He would then throw the board down and use it as an escape vehicle.

"Hey!" The female yelled. "Nice handbag... awe sh-" She would then get up realizing whom he was. "I'm gonna be late again." The female would then pull out a silver pen and draw a mask in the air. Appearing out of thin air, a red mask would manifest before the female placed it onto her face. She would then redraw another skateboard and watch as it forms in front of her. The female would then jump onto the skateboard and ride after the male.

A mad chase begins as the boards raced down the streets of Nottingham at high speed. The thief noticed the tail he had gained and tried to lose her. Swirling in and out of crowds, the thief attempted to cause as much commotion as humanly possible.

The female came to a stop in front of the crowded streets that the thief caused. She had to come up with another idea quick.

"Ah ha!" She grabbed her sketchbook from her bag and began drawing a large brawny creature. Just like the mask, the creature magically manifested in front of the female. After directing the thing into the direction of he thief, the female ran off in another direction in hopes of cutting the thief off.

Footsteps pounded the gravel as the thief ran from the beastly thing that chased him. In his hands he clutched the small red handbag.

Heavier, scarier footsteps followed after the thief. Down a darkened alleyway, all that could be heard were the heavy grunts of whatever chased him.

"Surrender the purse and all this can go away!" The thing chasing the thief yelled with a deep manly voice.

"Never!" The boy jumped over a fence and ran towards his freedom.

Bang

A female caught the thief off guard by uppercutting his chin the moment he left the alley. The male collapsed onto the ground in pain. The female squatted down before picking up the red purse that had been stolen.

"I'm going to take this." The female smiled as she stood up; her auburn hair blowing with the wind as she turned to face the thing. "Thank you." She spoke as the unseen creature seemingly vanished. The female then walked over to a civilian lady and handed her the red handbag. Before the woman could thank the female, she had ran off towards the Nottingham High School.

***

The bell rang just as the female arrived to the classroom. Unfortunately for our hero, it was the bell for the end of class. The female sighed and walked over to the teacher's desk, knowing that a detention would be in her future.

"Miss Ashley Logan, you are 175 minutes late to my class. You know what that means, don't you?" The teacher spoke with a serious tone as he glared up at the female.

"Yes. I do." Ashley looked down at the tiled floor. "Detention after school." She groaned softly.

"It's the third time this week. How are you ever going to graduate if you don't come to class and get detention all the time?" The teacher questioned. "Do you even want to graduate, Miss Logan?"

"I do." The female looked at her male teacher with determined eyes. "It's just...." She would slowly trail off as she knew she couldn't tell him about her superhero job or abilities. "I'm busy with my volunteer gig." The female lied, knowing it was best for her teacher not to know about her life outside of school.

"Alright." Her teacher sighed. "I expect to see you in class on Monday morning. There will be a quiz, so study hard."

"Will do Mr. D." Ashley would wave awkwardly as she backed out of the classroom. She would then run to her next class: gym class.

On her way to gym class, the female would notice two male seniors picking on a freshman. She stopped in her tracks and watched the bullying for a second, she wanted to stop it but knew if she did it would result in another detention. But she didn't care.

"Leave him alone!" Ashley yelled from across the hall as she walked closer to the two males her age. The two boys looked at the female and smirked.

"An' what'r ya goin' do 'bout it?" One of the seniors called.

"I'm gonna teach you a lesson." She growled as she glared at the male. What the two bullies didn't know is that behind her back, Ashley used her ability to recreate one of the meanest teacher's at Nottingham High: Mrs. Elwood.

"From the one who never goes to class." The lesser of the two males laughed.

"What is going on here?" Our hero's creation of Mrs. Elwood walked over to the group, she almost had the same intimidating glare as the real Mrs. Elwood, but it was good enough to fool the two bullies.

"N-nothing Mrs. Elwood." The bullies shivered with fear.

"Now get back to class!" The creation ordered with the same strict tone as the original.

"Yes ma'am!" The two bullies then ran off to their own class.

Ashley walked over to her creation before erasing it as though it was never there. The female would then turn to the freshman with a warm smile as she offered her hand to him.

"Welcome to Nottingham High. My name is Ashley Logan. Call me if those bullies come back." The female smiled before remembering about her class. "I gotta go now. See you around?" She would then run to the gym as fast as she could.

Upon arrival, she knew instantly that she was in trouble by the look that her teacher gave her.

"Detention.... I got it...." The female sighed before continuing on with the rest of her day. Doomed to suffer through multiple detentions after school.
