Sometimes it sucks having a super powered life, thought Emerson.

A man with an comically large head strode around the classroom like a shark searching for its next meal.

"I am Dr. Medulla", said the man, "and I will be teaching you mad science and math".

That was virtually all Emerson heard before ignoring the teacher altogether and daydreaming. He thought about his new friends.

The shy but cute Eleanor, one would never think she had enough strength to drop a truck on you but the funny thing is she'd probably still look adorable doing it.

The ever confident Max with his freaky ghost powers, Emerson would never admit it aloud but he was a little scared of Max's power it reminded him of the spooky movie he'd stay up and watched with Jared on one of their weekly sleepovers. Max as a friend was great, Max as a hero gave Emerson the willies.

And lastly he thought about Lily, to Emerson she was the oddest friend in the lot. She almost seemed reluctant to be friendly to him or mostly anyone else, except for maybe Jared. She seemed to take a shine to him, so Emerson may not like her attitude he'd still try to be nice. For Jared.

Maybe they'd even make a cool couple, he thought.

"Mr. Lee!?" Shouted Dr. Medulla, "This is my classroom, not nap time for freshmen".

Emerson's face grew hot with embarrassment. "I'm so sorry, Sir, I---" suddenly the bell rang loudly, dismiss the class.

As the rest of the class exited Dr. Medulla kept his eyes trained on Emerson. "Well, Mr. Lee, it seems you were saved by the bell but it won't save you from a 3 page paper on 'Why Mad Science is important Hero Work' by tomorrow".

Inwardly Emerson groaned but out loud he only muttered a polite "yes, sir" and scurried off to his next class. The hallways were busy with students all racing to their classes, it was like a whirlwind of motion Emerson found himself dizzy. Leaning against a nearby locker he cursed his motion sickness, ever since Emerson had discovered his power his eyes had become sensitive to motion.

He shut his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and when he opened them the hallway had nearly emptied. No longer in danger of a dizzy spell Emerson marched to his next class.

The walk was longer than he had expected, passing by hall after hall. Suddenly Emerson stopped, something odd had caught his attention. Taking a few steps back to the closest hall he passed he quickly spotted what startled him.

Hanging from an open air vent was a person fully dressed in black. Kind of like a Ninja, thought Emerson. "Hey!" Emerson shouted instinctively, the person in black reacted immediately. Quickly the mystery man leaped off the wall and sprinted down the hall and away from Emerson.

"Get back here, you Sneak!" Emerson yelled as he trailed behind him. Emerson had no idea who this guy was but anyone sneaking around Sky High had to be bad news.

The Person in black was fast, he sprinted down the dark hallway nearly losing Emerson. But while the black dressed guy might have been a fast little rabbit, Emerson was no slow turtle. Within seconds he had closed the distance between the Sneak and him, just as Emerson was a few feet away the Sneak swiftly dashed to the right landing one foot on the wall and pushing himself off.

Emerson watched the Sneak soar through the air and knew soon he would be over his head and out of sight before he could even stop and turn around. Emerson made a split second decision, normally powers are forbidden unless in the school gym but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Emerson locked his stare at the guy midair and focused his power, aiming for a short, concentrated lazer blast. Within moments Emerson felt the surge of heat in his face as the blast shot out of his eyes straight to the Sneak.

But instantly the Sneak twisted his body around as he went through the air only barely missing Emerson's shot. As he whirled around his leg shot out and landed a hard hit straight to the top of Emerson's head. Pain hit Emerson immediately, then the world began to go dark. As he fell to the floor the last thing he saw before losing consciousness was the mysterious Sneak dash away unharmed.
