LUKA HELD the cigarette between his lips, folding the clothes as he opened this closet door. Slipping the shirt into the clothes hanger, clenching his jaw.

Snatching the cigarette from his lips as a cloud of smoke trailed out from his lips, the candle dimly lighting up the room.

A stiff knock echoed through his thin walls, turning around as he walked towards his door- sliding it open.
'Sydney.'

Raising an eyebrow as Sydney held a bowl of cereal in her hands, "dinner."

He scoffed lightly as Sydney held it out, taking it abruptly as she sighed. "Vision would've been proud of you, mom too." She muttered quietly, Luka rolled his eyes at the statement- huffing.

"Don't...talk about mom, alright? Now go, get out." He snapped as Sydney frowned, eyeing him before she marched past the hall; her foot steps thundering.

Slamming his door shut as he placed the bowl of cereal on the night stand besides his ash tray, smushing the bud of his cigarette on there.

Taylor slid her pencil onto the paper, lightly scribbling into a sketch as she focused intently.

Her eyes then dodging to Reese who was in a perfect position to draw them, sitting down as Taylor began to outline their body, biting her lip in extreme focus.

Taylor Swift gently playing in her ears, smiling to herself as she felt her stomach sink in with butterflies of all sorts.

* . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . *

Lilianna knocked on the door, holding the home made card between her hands carefully- grinning to herself as she swayed on her heels.

The door swung open as the smell of sharp mint flew throughout the hallway from the room.
"Sydney, I swear to g-"

Luka stopped in his tracks at the sight of Lilianna, furrowing his eyebrows as he scoffed. "What do you want NOW?" He groaned in full annoyance as Lilianna sighed.
"I wanted to gi-"

'SLAM!'

Her face met with the door which vibrated the walls with its aggressive close, her eyes dropping as she huffed; knocking once more.

Luka rolled his eyes, clenching his jaw. "What."
Lilianna held the card up towards him, sucking in a sharp breath.
"I make cards for my new friends, and all the colors reminded me of you! I added a horror movie in there too 'cuz you're scar-"

Luka snatched the card from her hands, opening the sticky card contaminated with cheap school glue and random pictures in it such as; cologne, dark roses, knifes.
His eyes shifted onto her, questioning why the hell she would dare go near him, out of everyone she did.
"Did yo-"

"Bye."

'SLAM!'

Luka threw the card into the trash bucket, not daring to read whatever rubbish was written in it- sighing as he began to tend back to his clothes.

* . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . *

Athena turned towards her clock, squinting her eyes at the radiating '12:05.'

Placing her robe on as she slipped in her sandals, the rolls in her hair bouncing as she made her way down the stairs- making sure she wouldn't make noise.

* . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . *

Apollo rubbed his fists into the chalk, breathing deeply as he hastily walked towards the boxing bag.

Throwing a stiff punch at it as it echoed with a 'huff!' His fist soon made contact again, repeatedly attacking it as he grunted, his arms aching.

'Like dad, be like dad...'

His fists drummed against the bag, under punching it as he grunted under his breath.
'Prove yourself to everyone.'

* . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . *

A herd of swords laid out against the concrete as the teenagers stood on the damp grass.

"What are those for?" James nodded towards the weapons as Elijah turned towards him.
"Dude, I thought you were blind!" Bruce raised an eyebrow at Elijah, boggling his head.

James turned towards Elijah, "you're fucking stupid."

Bruce cleared his throat, clapping his hands. "Now, for this practice we will be testing your upper body strength as well as your stealth and aim." Bruce marched towards the weapons, clicking his tongue.

"No one will get hurt that bad, we made sure they were as safe as possible." He turned towards the teenagers who simply blinked in shock, their mouths agape.
"And by 'that bad' he means deat-"

"No, no!" Bruce stopped Athena mid way through her sentence, scoffing as she smirked.

"Three seconds to choose a weapon to stick with! ONE!-"

Luka sprinted towards the weapons, shoving someone as he gripped the ax; running back as he the weapon sunk into his hands.

Lilianna snatched the belt of daggers into her hand, running off as she tied it around her waist- smiling towards Freddie who held the baton between his hands.

"NOW, CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER IN...THREE-"

Athena linked arms with Sydney, smirking to each other as Sydney clicked her tongue. "We make a good team."

Apollo stood besides Freddie, smiling as Freddie held his baton. Taylor waved at Reese who partnered up with Hilary who was gushing over them, turning back to her partner, Thea who smiled widely.

Luka felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around to Lilianna who shrugged, "partners?"

"ALRIGHT, NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY...
THE PERSON YOU'VE PARTNERED WITH IS THE PERSON YOU WILL BE FIGHTING FOR TODAYS PRACTICE." Bruce hollered as Athena turned to Sydney, her mouth dropped as she scoffed; "you're gonna' win."

"POWERS ARE NOT ALLOWED AND YOU MUST HOLD YOUR OPPONENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR FOR THREE SECONDS FOR A WIN."

Apollo looked at Freddie, his legs weak as Freddie looked back at the boy; sighing deeply as James and Elijah were having a thumb war behind them.

"POSITIONS!"

"ONE..."

Athena held her sword tightly beneath her, leaning over as Sydney held her knife towards her.

"TWO!"

Luka snapped his gaze to Lilianna who chuckled under her breath, her hand leaning on a dagger on her waist.
'I really don't wanna' fight Lily or whatever her name is.'

"AND...THREE!"

Sydney lunged towards Athena, swinging her arm along with the knife; Athena held her sword up, deflecting it as she threw the dagger back along with Sydney who immediately composed herself.

James swung his baseball bat lightly towards Elijah's ankles, who dodged it by jumping as he held his ax- gasping.
"Woah, for a boy who can't see you're kinda' good!"

James chuckled, "thanks?"

Luka stood simply as he held his ax out towards Lilianna who felt her face fall.
'I don't wanna hurt him.'

Luka gulped anxiously, his hands releasing sweat as he clenched his jaw.
'I don't wanna hurt her.'

Lilianna tackled onto him, catching him off guard, not knowing what to do as he grunted- falling onto the ground.

His face smashed against the grass, feeling strands of it go into his mouth; 'shit, she won.'

Bruce made his way towards them, laughing as Lilianna removed herself off Luka- grinning in a proud manner.

"Bruce!" A somewhat cheery voice called out, Bruce turned around as a smile lit upon his face, 'Peter Parker and Ned.'

"Peter!" He patted Peter and Ned's back, nodding towards the teenagers who fought and fought with humbled breaths.
"Take a look, our soon-to-be Avengers." Bruce nodded his head as Peter studied each of them, some what already intimidated.

"Will you be staying for dinner?" Bruce raised an eyebrow at Peter who scoffed, nodding a firm 'no.'
"Aunt May needs me home in like fifteen. Just came by to grab my stuff."

His eyes snapped onto the red head, his breath quickened as he turned to Ned who smirked.
"She's hot," he whispered as Peter chuckled; boggling his head as Ned felt his eyes trail to Athena, gasping.

Freddie slammed his spear against Apollo's shield with clanked against it.
Apollo shoved into Freddie, holding him down as the two grunted in pain.

Sydney felt her hand damp underneath the tender water, scrubbing the dish as the soap melted from the soap.
Sighing deeply as she tapped her foot, clicking her tongue.

"Hey, need help?" Apollo turned to her as he placed the remaining plates and utensils besides her, she whistled lightly; turning to him.
"I think...I'm good, thanks though!"

He nodded firmly as he turned towards her, tapping his foot as he sucked in a sharp breath.
"Uhm, Sydney I need to ta-"

"Sydney!" Reese ran towards her, her breath quickening as she held a piece of paper up towards Sydney who raised an eyebrow.
"Someone wrote a love letter to me!"

* . °•★|•°∵ ∵°•|☆•° . *

Luka puffed out a cloud of smoke, turning off the television as he picked up the wrapper of gum.
Throwing it into the trash, his eyes catching something, the card.

His fingers snatched it from the trash, studying it as he found all sorts of shaped and patters in it, opening it.

He placed himself onto his bed, lying down as his cigarette hung loose.
He scoffed at her spelling, twirling the cigarette in his mouth as his eyes traced the words;

'dear luka,
