(Sky's POV)

4 years, four freaking years since my dad had to get me unattached from Mitch. He broke out again about a year ago, but my dad doesn't care anymore. He cares about me. He doesn't want me to get hurt and the only way to do that is to make me feel no emotion at all. If I do feel  an emotion besides anger, I get more training that day. The trainging is not that bad. I just have to kill a few people that I got somewhat attached to.

I, Skybrine, am 20. I don't really go on missions for Dad anymore, he doesn't trust me. I think he just needs to look that I am improving. Not going to make the mistake I made 4 years ago. I won't ever do that again.

When I enter the training room for my daily training, I find a lot of highly skilled mobs. Mostly zombies. However, I was surprised when I saw Dad. He could either be helping me with my training or watch me. Either way, this is an amazing chance to show to him that I improved so much and that I could finally go on more missions. But, he never really trusts me anymore! I hate Mitch! It's all his fault!!

Dad watches from the side of the arena, a black tiled room with a big blue mat in the middle, for training. The mat was cold, and the zombies spring to life once I say  the command. I half expected him to leave, so I was only half surprised when he didn't.

I kick the first zombie out of my way and I glance to my left to see another close zombie. I run towards it a give it a good hook. I run towards a line of zombies, jumping on the first one using it as a spring to go to the next one, and so on. I land and do a summersault. There are only a few zombies left. The rest I just cut them with my sword.

I look to my father to see if he approves of my work."Your foot work was sloppy, we will have to work on that. Besides that, I think you have improved greatly over the course of a year." I knew it! He wouldn't be trusting me with a mission any time soo-wait, what did he just say?

I turn to him, confused and slightly surprised. "What'd ya say again?" He actually looked caring, unlike Ms. Hughes.

He just replied with a small chuckle. "I expected that from you. All your missions have been to kill someone. It's for your own good. Now, I think I can promote you..." He just looked at me with a grin on my face. I smiled back.

"Well then Dad, what's my new mission?"

(Ty's POV)

We head down a road. It was very quiet, the road had nothing on it or near it. Even the town was deserted. It was like a ghost town.

I turn to Jerome "This gives me the creeps..." Jerome, Jason, Mitch, Ian, Ryan and I formed a Team. We still don't know the name of it yet, and Jerome wants more members. We can name the team then.

"Well, duh!" I somehow predicted he was going to say that.

Jason scream-whispered, "Guys! Stay focused, we have a somebody to rescue!"

Ya, some people who got captured by someone we don't even know! What did we do to anger them?! There was a guy in a dinosaur costume and a guy in a narwhal costume. Seriously, are they mascots for children? I don't even want to know what happened to the dinosaur's eye. The costumes looked pretty real now that I reimagined them.

"Were getting close." Ian said, he was pretty quiet during the trip here. I am fairly certain he doesn't want to talk about it. Even though we are a team, we don't work really well together and we keep secrets. That includes me! We should hold a team meeting just to tell all our secrets...maybe I could go first....

We all stop a bit away from the gates of the prison. The plan to rescue Ryan is I'll go fly to get a good look of the prison. Everyone else will try to find/make a way in, they wait for my signal. Once I see it's clear, I give the signal, they all go in. Jason then flies with me, looking out for everyone. By then, Jerome, Mitch and Ian should split up and look for Ryan while we help them. Y'know, by checking to see if it's clear and stuff. Once they found him, we all go back the way we came and got the heck outta there. 

It was actually easier than expected, weird. Most prisons I would break out of (not like I've been to prison) are a lot more complicated, have more cops around it, and well, just more security.

"Heh...thanks guys." Ryan said. We all know that he thinks that we blame him. It was my fault really, he was my partner when we had to steal some food. I left him and he got caught.

I respond to him in a laid back tone, "Nah, it ok man."

We make our way to 'the team's building/house'. We have no other name to call it. It was quiet. Always has been. Not a lot of things to talk about. I'm positive that once we get another member of our team, we would all be close, if we could find that person.

Then we saw some sort of mutant with a human and a fish swimming in a lake north of our house. Weird and creepy.

(Sky's POV)

I enter the village, wearing the same sunglasses that destroyed my relationship with my father. My mission is a recon mission, stay quiet and hidden. I just have to gather info about some 'heros' living here. Don't let anyone know that Skybrine is here. Only 'Steve', I actually never really like Ven. I never really like Steve either, but Sky wouldn't like it. Steve is shy and proud of who he is.

I knock on the door of the heros, they are supposedly friends. To my surprise a dinosaur and a narwhal are at the door. "Excuse me," I say in a timid voice. That somehow doesn't sound like mine. " I'm looking for the heros, I'm a really big fan!" They looked at me and turned to each other.

"Sorry," said the dinosaur in a thick accent, it sounds somewhat Turkish. " The heros is gone from the village."

A grayish narwhal with an unusual face walked behind the dinosaur. "Barney, what's going on?" At least only one of them only have weird accents.

"He here for heros." Man, it can be so hard to understand this guy. This cannot be his real voice. If it is...I think I might need a translator next time. "He's said he's a fan."

The narwhal signaled the dinosaur to talk without me. The dinosaur goes inside the house, where I can't see them. I don't want to cause alarm so I just stood there. Impatiently waiting.

"Sorry about that, I'm Ross, the purple guy there is Barney." Barney the purple dinosaur, that has an eyepatch and an accent? This could be a different dinosaur kids know and love...

"Yes, nice to meet you!" The accent on this dinosaur is getting old. I chose to stay quiet.

"John, you don't have to do the accent, were not recording." Hah! It is fake! Either that or he can switch in and out of accents. Either way, it's most likely fake.

"Dirt..." I heard Barney/John whisper to Ross.

"Find, whatever. Hi, you can call me Barney, or John. I prefer you call me Barney, that's what my friends call me." Wait, how did THAT English voice come from THAT Turkish accent? Or is it the other way around?

"Nice to meet you Barney and Ross." I say in a slightly joyful voice with a smile on my face. My voice still sounds very different. Wait, that's their names right? I wasn't entirely paying attention.  "May I ask where the heros are at?" 

They both pause. It's either them or someone they know. At least Dad's source was right. "There hasn't been any hero roaming around in awhile, why are you now interested." It was Brandy speaking. No, Barney, his name was Barney. 

"Ya, what's going on?" Said Ross. His name was Ross right? Dang my stupid ability to forget names so easily. It's like a superpower.

"My village just heard the news...then again, my village always gets late news." Wait a minute, I just realized I'm in my 12 year old body again! Is that another power Dad has? The ability to change how your age? Or look that age at least. I can't really say shape shift, I didn't change shape, I just went into a younger version of myself. This actually can be helpful, it makes my story seem real. It's not like a 20 year old male would be interested into a neighborhood superhero, it's more of a childish thing.

"Umm...kid, how about you find your parents. We have a lot of work to do and our co-workers are waiting for us." I never knew narwhals can be so rude! Who would turn down a boy that's a fan?

"Can I still have an autograph?" I say, my childish voice slightly maturing. I have to go, and quick, before I accidentally change back. With that Barney leaves, most likely doing work inside the house.

"*sigh* Ok kid." Ross signs the paper. Just a regular paper I brought, no picture. If I did bring a picture though, my coverup would look even more real! "Have a nice day!" Ross said. I could tell he didn't really mean it.
