Chapter five:
Kamala Khan
Class: Agent, S.H.I.E.L.D
Codename: Ms Marvel
Powers: Morphogenetics, Elongation, Size Alteration, Healing Factor
Dimension: Earth 6

I liked it here. It was a lot like normal high school, but different at the same time. And I mean like a good different, not a bad different. I mean I guess you couldn't really judge it from the few days we were here, but I still liked it.

"I say you just talk to her. Maybe you caught her on a bad day." I believed that everyone should get at least a second chance. Miles thought anyone who pinned him to a desk didn't.

"I dunno Kamala. I think I'm with Miles on this one." I glared at Flash.

"Didn't you used to pin kids to their desk?"

"No!! I pinned them to their lockers, first of all. Secondly, this chick just attacked Miles for no reason. She was so fast his Spider Sense didn't catch her. I don't think she should be trusted." Miles and Flash nodded quickly in agreement, and I groaned. Mama was right; Boys are idiots.

"I'm actually with Kamala." Thank you Cassie!! "Reason being is that girl is Reyna Arellano." We blinked. Who was that?

"Oh come on!! You guys haven't heard the stories? The Aphordite children love to gossip about it. It's practically a Greek Tragedy."

"That doesn't sound good." I said, but I was really curious. Not because it was gossip, but just generally curious why she would cause so much buzz around the school.

"What does gossip have to do with her pinning me to the desk? I think my arm is still sore!!" Cassie sighed.

"Reyna was in love with Peter Parker, and apparently he loved her too. They were the perfect couple; able to match each other's intelligence and wit, with the same amount of bravery and courage to go with it. Most people evnyed them....that was until the Battle of Hero High came about."

"He died...." Miles whispered.

"Exactly. Peter Parker was hurt, badly, and Reyna had managed to convince him to find someone who could heal him and watch over him during the battle. Despite his pain, Peter insisted on carrying Reyna. While they were swinging through the air, a killing curse--."

"A what now??" Cassie glared at Flash.

"A killing curse. Now, a killing curse came flying through the air, and it was going to hit Reyna, if Peter Parker didn't take the blow from her. He died in her arms, so to speak." Cassie finished explaining. 

"Wow. That sucks." I had to resist the urge to hit Flash upside the head. 

"That's terrible!!" I said instead. 

"Yeah, she blames herself for his death. I'm guessing that's why she attacked Miles; she thought of him as a mockery, like he didn't deserve the title." Miles huffed, crossing his arms. 

"Great." He muttered. 

"But I'm sure once she meets you, I'm sure she'll change her mind." I quickly said, trying to resure my friend.

"Doubtful, but points for being optimistic Kamala." I huffed.

"I'll prove it you!!" And I was going too, before Chiron, the centaur got our attention in the front of the cafeteria.

"Students!! Please take a few minutes from your breakfast and listen to these few annoucements. First, the Elective sign ups have been posted early; this includes activities such as sports, like Quidditch and Chariot Racing, and an Agriculture elective lead by the Demeter and Cres cabins. Chorus is also available this year, along with the teacher lead Electives such as Archery, lead by Hawkeye and Green Arrow. Secondly, Weasley Wizard Weeze products have been banned from the classrooms." I don't know what those were, but some students were very upset about it.

"Calm yourselves!! I said banned in the classroom. Outside of class they are allowed, however if they are used against a teacher there will be consequences. As long as no student is hurt, they will be allowed. However, if they are abused, know that they will be banned." Chiron spoke much like Coulson, but a little louder, and a little bit firmer too, as if he knew kindness would get his point across, but only so far.

"Now, for the more important news. Tomorrow Hero High will be receiving some very important guests from Earth 6. Some of you may be familiar with the Inhuman Royal Family." My eyes widened. Queen Medusa was coming here?! 

"I can see some of you are confused, but do not worry. Professor Misako, Doctor Banner and Richards will be going over the term Inhuman, and who the members of the Royal family are. I am here to tell you that all of you must be on your best behavior. Wear your class uniforms, all day please, and go through the day as your normally would. The Inhumans are skeptical of outsiders, and joining Hero High is a great way to bring them back into the outside world. Do not scare them. Remember how it is back in your world, with humans or muggles, even mortals afraid of you. This is exactly how they feel, and we wish for them to feel welcome, not afraid." There a breif moment of silence before Chiron waved his hand, letting us go back to our breakfast.

"That was heavy." Flash whispered. Cassie rolled her eyes.

"Sure. Anyway, I believe you were going to do something Kamala?" I frowned before jumping up.

"Oh right!!" And the bell rang. Of course.

"At lunch." I said to Miles, and he nodded, but I don't think he had much faith in me.

"Kamala want some of my breakfast? I don't think I'll be able to finish it all before I reach Misako's." I shook my head, looking down at his half finished muffin and bacon. As good as it smelled, I think I would look weird if I just sniffed it and then threw it away.

"No thank you Flash. I can't have pork."

"It's not pork, it's bacon." Miles and Cassie facepalmed.

"Bacon is pork." Miles said, before grabbing my hand and leading me through the busy crowd. We had science together, with Doctor Richards. I partly wished I had Doctor Banner, but Doctor Richards wasn't too bad.

"Look out!!" Someone cried. It was only a few seconds later before the whole hallway went completely black.

"Miles!! Cassie!!" I called out.

"Kamala?!!" I felt something be pushed against my middle back, which made me jump, and as result, I accidently grew.

"Ow!" I cried, once I hit the ceiling. The darkness faded, and I quickly shrunk down before anyone saw my embarrassment.

"Kamala are you okay? I heard you say ow..."

"Fine Miles. I think someone just ran into me." I said, brushing myself off. I jumped again when something was pulled off my back by someone I didn't recognize.

"No, they didn't. It was planned." My eyes widened.

"You're....you're Nico Di'Angelo." The son of Hades actually smiled in response.

"Yeah. I am. And word to the wise, I would watch out." His smile quickly faded when he looked down at the paper, and he crumpled it up.

"Someone here doesn't like you."

"Who?! I haven't made anyone mad!!" He shrugged.

"I don't know, but they don't. This thing was planned." Miles glared at Nico.

"Thanks for the advice, but we can look out for ourselves thank you." Nico shrugged in response, tossing the paper behind him.

"Whatever. I didn't have to help you, but I can see where I'm not wanted." Nico turned and walked into a dark shadow, vanishing from view. I shuddered.

"Creepy..." Miles tugged on my arm.

"Come on Kamala, let's get going."

"Shouldn't we check what's on the paper?"

"No, he probably cursed it or something. Or maybe he wrote it himself."

"Can demigods curse things?" I wondered.

"Who knows. Ask Emma Frost next time you have her."

                               ○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○

"Now Inhumans, Metahumans, and Mutants are all different. We will be going over the differences between Metahumans and Mutants later on in the semester, but for now we will only focus on the difference between Inhumans and Mutants, and trust me there is a difference. Now can anyone tell me what a Terrigen Crystal is?" I sighed, fiddling with my pencil. Having met the Royal family first hand, this was kinda boring. Well, more boring than usual.

I wonder if Lockjaw was coming....

Just my luck, I accidentally flicked my pencil half way across the room. Doctor Richards didn't notice, but that didn't help me get my pencil back.

"Unfortunately that is incorrect. Anyone else have any guesses on what a Terrigen Crystal is?" I bit my lip, whispering "embiggen" under my breath, carefully stretching my arm around the desks and chairs to my pencil without being seen. Through, when I was just inches away, I bumped some kids leg, causing him to look down.

His eyes fell on my arm which he followed to me, before looking down and my hand trying to reach my pencil. He smiled instantly and placed the pencil in my hand, sending me a thumbs up. I smiled and...debiggened I guess, my arm back to its normal size.

"Ms. Khan, perhaps you would like to explain to the class want a Terrigen Crystal is? Or Mr. Universe?" Well there goes my pencil.

"Um...um.." The boy who helped me out looked puzzled. I felt bad I got him in trouble, so I spoke up.

"Terrigen Crystals are the thing that give Inhumans their powers."

"Correct; I'm surprise you didn't speak up with the answer sooner Ms. Khan. Now as Ms. Khan just said, Terrigen Crystals are what give Inhumans their powers. The crystal unlocks something--." A pink bubble appeared in front of me, popping, with a note falling on my desk.

Hi, I'm Steven!! What did Doctor Richards mean when he said he was surprised you didn't speak up sooner?

Looking up to make sure he wasn't paying attention, I quickly wrote down my answer.

Hi Steven, my name is Kamala. And I'm Inhuman, or Nuhuman, which meant my powers came from the Terrigen Crystals.

I quickly tossed it over to Steven, who caught it, and within no time answered back, sending the pink bubble again.

Cool!! I got my powers from my mother. She's a space gem!! I wasn't sure what to write on this one, so I just wrote cool and sent it back to him.

"Now, class. The Terrigen Crystals on my world were turned into a bomb by King Blackagar Boltagon, or King Black Bolt, which realised a Mist on the world. This Mist was altered so it does not have any negative affects on humans; however, like always, it is extremely deadly to mutants." Miles raised his hand.

"Mr. Morales?"

"Yeah, uh, why is it deadly to mutants?"

"That's a good question. Simply put, the Crystals have a bad reaction to the X-gene in mutants bodies."

Is your mom an Inhuman too? I looked over at Steven and simply shook my head. No need to waste paper on that answer.

A few moments later, I got answer message from Steven. I was surprised Doctor Richards didn't notice the pink bubble appearing and reappearing on my desk.

Do you have friends that are Inhuman? I'm the only Gem-human hybrid, so I don't have any friends that are like me. But I have the gems, and Connie, and Onion, and Doctor Strange said that I should get along with the demigods who are sort of like me. I met these two kids named Beast Boy and Cyborg the other day. They were nice too. I smiled and started to write my response.

No, not really. I've met the Royal family before...well, the dog and the queen really. Most of my friends are mutants or humans that were altered by science, like Miles who was bitten by a radioactive Spider. But don't worry about not having too many friends that are like you; Hero High is so you can meet friends who are the same yet different too.

"Excuse Doctor Richards? Can I see Kamala Khan?" My eyes widened, having just thrown the letter back to Steven. Was I caught? Was I getting in trouble? Was I going to get kicked from the school?! I can't be kicked from the school!!

"Of course. Kamala." I nodded, standing up from my chair. Steven and Miles sent me a worried looks, which didn't help my mood.

"Kamala, do you know who I am?" I looked the Agent over before shaking my head.

"No, should I?" The women smiled.

"My name is Daisy, and I'm an Inhuman much like you. I was actually wondering if you could help me with something."

"What is it?"

"Tomorrow, as you know, the Inhuman Royal Family is coming for a visit, and Chiron plans to lead them around the school. He would like us to try and convince the family to let the Prince, and others, attend Hero High."

"You want my help?" Daisy smiled, nodding.

"Agent Coulson thinks the Inhumans will react better with people they already know. And as you have met Lockjaw and Queen Medusa, and I have met and talked to Crystal, who better than us right?"

"So I'm not in trouble?" Daisy laughed.

"Relax kid, you're not in trouble. So, you think you can do that?" I nodded.

"I'd be happy to help."

"Great. After breakfast tomorrow, head down to the Headmaster's office. Chiron and I will meet you there." I nodded, before heading back to class. Already, even before I sat down, a pink bubble appeared on my desk.

Did I get you in trouble?! I'm sorry if I did, I didn't mean too!!!

No Steven, you didn't get me in trouble. Daisy just wanted me to do something for her.

So you're not in trouble?

Nope. Not in trouble. I could see the relieved look on Steven's face when he read that.

"Class, for homework I want you to write a three page paper on the Terrigen Crystals and Inhumans. Not double space please, and it should be done by next class." I groaned. Great. Homework. Just what I needed.

The bell rang and I grabbed my stuff, making sure to wave to Steven as we were going the opposite way. I walked into the gym class ad headed straight for the locker room, getting changed. I had met Wolverine before, and we had a pretty awesome superhero teamup. I wonder if he remembered it.

"Alright class, listen up. Names Logan; Wolverine works too..."

                                    ○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>○>

Lunch time. Finally I could prove to Miles that Reyna didn't hate him.

"Come on Miles, no time for eating." I dragged Miles towards the girl. Once I started to get closer, I could see why she caught the eye of a hero like Peter; she gave the aura of someone who was strong, and her eyes seemed to glare into people's souls. She was pretty, but scary definitely.

"Hi!! I'm Kamala Khan!!" Reyna looked up and smiled.

"Pleasure to meet you Kamala Khan. I am Reyna." I grinned. This was going pretty well so far.

"This is my friend Miles Morales." Her smile quickly faded and turned to a stone face.

"Uh, hi Reyna. Just to let you know, I didn't want to come over here, this was Kamala's idea and I thought it was a bad idea. I know you wanted nothing to do with me and I can respect that." Reyna turned her eyes to me.

"Why?" She asked calmly.

"Because it's not fair that you hate him because of the symbol he wears. A lot of people cared about the old Spiderman, and those same people have welcomed Miles with open arms."

"I am not most people Kamala Khan." I swallowed nervously.

"I know, I know but....Look. Miles hasn't done anything wrong. He's a hero, he's helped people, he's done good."

"You're trying to say that Miles is a good person." Reyna's curly haired friend spoke up.

"Yes exactly. But good is not a thing you are, it's a thing you do. Don't judge Miles because of the symbol, judge him because of who he is." I said, hoping she wouldn't pull out a dagger and stabbed me thirty-seven times in the chest.

"That is very wise of you Kamala Khan, but you don't know me, and you do not know my past with Peter Parker. Whatever rumors you must've heard do not even amount to how I really feel, or felt. You are in no place to tell me how I should feel about Miles Morales. I will feel whatever Venus forces upon me, whether it be love or hate. Now please, leave me." I blinked in surprise. Seriously?! That was her answer?!

"Excuse me?"

"Leave me, alone." Reyna repeatedly. I huffed in annoyance, crossing my arms. How can she still hate Miles?! He didn't do anything!!

"Yeah, leave her alone you terrorist!!" Someone behind us called up. Miles and I looked around, but we didn't see anyone who looked suspicious. Who were they talking to anyway?

"What my friend is trying to say here, is that you guys don't look like you've had lunch yet. Maybe you should go eat and we can talk later." Her curly haired friend spoke up, giving us a kind smile. I sighed and walked to the lunch line, feeling defeated.

"Hey, at least you tried right?" Miles said.

"Yeah, but I wanted to change her mind about you."

"Kamala, you know as well as I do that people don't change their mind that easily. I'm sure with just the right nudge, Reyna might come around." I smiled.

"Thanks Miles." He grinned.

"No problem. Now please let me cut you so I can get some pizza!! I'm starving!!"

Nico Di'Angelo
Class: Demigod, Greek
Godly Parent: Hades
Powers: Shadow traveling, Death summoning, Ability to sense death
Dimension: Earth 4

"Yeah, leave her alone you terrorist!!" I looked up quickly, catching sight of a kid ducking his head down in order not to be found out. I clenched my jaw. By my guess, he was the same kid who did it earlier.

"Nico? You alright?" Will asked, leaning over from his table. Not because he didn't want to sit with me, or the fact that his group of friends didn't like me; there wasn't much room at our table with Zane here now.

Plus I told him he couldn't sit with me till he broke the news to Kurt Wanger, his best Hero High friend. Who was Catholic. A dedicated Catholic at that.

"Fine. Just need to make sure some jerks leave a girl alone. Raven, you mind?" Raven smiled, pulling up her hood.

"Nico? Please don't kill anyone. Remember your people skills!!" The thing about Hero High was you could do good things and still be an arrogant ignorant jerk (proof being Tony Stark and Reed Richards....and maybe Hal Jordan depending on who you asked).

So, early today when the hallway went black, I wasn't surprised to learn it was part of a prank; I was very annoyed to learn that it was a very cruel prank. I expected that kind of thing at the Reformatory. Here, I expected jerks, but not Reformatory level jerks.

Oh, what was on that note? Basically calling the girl a Muslim terrorist. Yeah, not funny.

"Hey you!!" The jerk smirked over at me.

"Look here boys, it's Death Boy!!" I reached down, gripping my sword.

"My name is Nico, and you better remember it." The jerk laughed loudly, and obnoxiously too.

"Sure Nicky. Now what do you want?"

"I saw what you did and said to that girl. I don't like bullies."

"Says the kid who murdered someone." One of his cronies mumbled. I shot him a glare but turn my focus back to the main jerk.

"Look Nicky boy, I don't care what you think you saw. Everyone knows the Muslims are bowing up our land, taking our jobs, corrupting our younger siblings, they're terrorists."

"You can't blame the many for the mistakes of the few." Raven said, surprisingly calm.

"Please. I bet she's working with the Reformatory, just like you idiots!!" I glared at him.

"We are not working with the Reformatory, and we never were. She is not a terrorist just because she happens to believe in a different God than you do!!" The jerk glared right back, which surprised me considering I have been told my glare is terrifying.

"Please. Everyone knows that you lot don't fit in here because you don't belong here. None of you do!! Not here, not you!! It's wrong." I punched him. I punched him hard, and then I punched him again. I didn't know this girl, but I knew I was doing the right thing because where she wasn't wrong, he was.

"Enough." As if Zeus himself came down from Olympus to scold me, the sky rumbled with thunder. Headmistress Storm was here, and she didn't look happy.

"What is the meaning of this?!" She demanded. Raven binded the jerk with her magic before he speak up and spread some more lies, leaving me to explain.

So I did. I told how the prank early was these jerks calling a student a terrorist, when she wasn't, she just happened to believe in a different God. As I explained, I could see Storm's anger begin to fade.

"If that is the case Mister Di'Angelo.....you don't have a detention." Oh thank Gods. I don't want to know what Mr. D would do to me here.

"However, you should've sought another answer other than violence." I snorted.

"This is a school trained for kids to solve problems with violence."

"This is a school for the unwanted to feel wanted. For the unwelcomed to feel welcome and for the gifted to not be turned away for said gifts. We train kids to use their powers in ways they didn't think of. So they don't loose control and hurt someone, letting future generations give into hatred. This school does make kids weapons. We make them better than they were before. We make them heroes Nico Di'Angelo. There was other ways around this." I sighed, crossing my arms.

"Yeah, I guess." Storm beckoned for jerk face and his squad to follow her, before leaving the cafeteria. The girl they were making fun of walked up to me.

"Um...thank you Nico." She said nervously.

"Yeah, no problem." I said, starting to walk back to my table.

"My name is Kamala!!" She called out. I turned back nodding, before sitting down.

"That was really nice of you." Zuko said. I shrugged.

"Will did say I needed to work on my people skills."

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>><><><><><>>><><><><><><><><><>
So just to clarify, I don't hate Muslims or the Islam religion, hence Nico standing up for Kamala. If you do have a problem with the Islam religion, please unfollow me and do not read my books. Your read is not worth it.

Moving on!! The Inhuman Royal Family!! For those of you who don't know, I will quickly sum them up.

King Blackagar Boltagon, or Black Bolt. Mute due to the fact his whisper is about as loud as Banshee's scream and Canary's cry put together, if not louder. So he doesn't talk much.

Queen Medusa. Ex-wife to Black Bolt (long story). She had living red hair, that she can use to do multiple things, like use as extra limbs, pick people up and throw them, etc etc.

Prince Ahura. Son of Black Bolt and Medusa, his powers are kinda confusing but he basically can make telepathic copies of himself...? I don't know, I need to look it up. It'll be explained later.

Crystal. Sister to Medusa, former lover of Johnny Storm. She is an elemental, so think Aang but without the Avatar State and bald head. But all 4 elements.

Triton. I think he's cousins with Black Bolt...anyway, he's a merman, or fish person. Can't live long outside of water but he has a suit that was built for him so he can last longer now.

Karnak. Karnak is one of my favorite Inhumans. His brother is Triton, and he actually was not sent through Terrigen because of what it did to his brother, so he trained long and hard instead. Now has the ability to see the weakness in anything.

Gorgon. Cousins with Black Bolt. He looks like a sytar, and can cause earthquakes when he stomps his hoof.

Lockjaw. He's a teleporting dog. Pretty cool right? Another one of my favs.

Anyway, that's the Royal family. There's more Inhumans, but that's who coming in part two of this chapter.

If you want more information, on YouTube there's this guy called "Digital Comics". He has Uncanny Inhumans 1-13 and they're a nice read. Give you some more info on the Inhumans.

Peace!! I'll try updating again soon, I promise!! ^_^
