What The Luck!?

"So, what are we going to do after academics? We have to go to that leadership and teambuilding class that we signed up for. After that, we are done for a Monday schedule." Art and Asher were debating what the group should do after they finished their lunch and academics. The leadership and team building course was normally an extracurricular class but had made its way in to the main classes because of how valuable it was to those pursuing higher education. 

"We should go and practice combo moves again." Sammy had the feeling that she would be able to push through to a better combo with more time. She had already seen how strong it could be to change someones' speed in battle. If she could come up with alternate combinations then the group would become even more powerful. 

"If we just focus on offense we will start to fall behind. We should work on strengthening our bodies and getting to a better place that way. If we are stronger then we will be able to handle things without our super powers." Part of Louis's idea was that he would be able to better control his lightning and also not need to use it as often. It was a win win situation for him. 

"How would be able to strengthen my body? I need very heavy weights and a lot of time to do that. I think it's better if we all work on first aid training more." Jackson also raised a good idea. If they were able to improve their first aid then they would be able to take a certification course to be able to help people in emergency situations. 

The certifications were very useful for large scale disasters. It would give a hero or a normal citizen the safety of hero corp as long as they passed the approved tests. Overall, it meant that even if the person failed to save a life they were not at fault as long as it was shown that they did the best with the guidelines they had learned. 

They all considered this as an option. Learning more with first aid would be a very valuable skill. Even if they failed to become heroes, then the group would be able to go in to smaller professions to help others or in general just be able to help anyone injured. "You know, I wouldn't mind everyone learning a little more about first aid. The nurse was pretty worried when they read tat teachers' note about me." Laura had popped back up out of nowhere. The crazy part was that she somehow had a frozen popsicle as a snack now.

"Why is that popsicle shaped like a dragon, no wait. That's not what's important. Shouldn't you be resting?" Laura looked much healthier already. She had drunk fluids and gotten a small meal earlier. Now she was finally back and found the group eating together. 

"The nurse said I was fine after I drank some water and sat down. But like I said. We should study first aid more. I have the possibility to pass out anytime.  My super power will most likely always be this way. I would prefer my friends were there to save me than some random stranger." The logic was sound. By the time any law enforcement or ambulance reached them Laura could be too far gone. It was better to have someone she knew there to help her. 

"If it makes you feel safer then we will do it." Cara had a no nonsense attitude with this. As far as she was concerned, the group would be working at all times to improve their first aid knowledge. It was easy to sign up for it after school classes and it would make them better overall heroes. Laura gave an appreciative nod when she saw that Cara was taking it to heart. It would definitely make her more comfortable. She had learned a harsh lesson in the short time she had spent in a simulated desert environment. She could only imagine what other environments or super powers would affect her. 

"Hey, why are we talking about what we are going to do? We should just go and check out the mansion I am thinking about buying. I already know where the keys are so we can tour it as much as we want before we decide." None of them had known that Ary had made a decision on what he might want to buy. They had been fully brought up to speed and ended up agreeing to the move. Jackson's family had been the hardest to convince but they ended up deciding to have their house still as a back up shelter. It actually made them more excited to be able to build another. They were planning to record the building of it to show off to some friends. 

"Actually, we can do that then quiz each other on first aid techniques." Sammy had been won over by a combination of both. In her mind, it was the best possible alternative to just doing one. 

"Then it's settled. We will follow Art after classes finish and also pop quiz each other." Asher made the final call as they walked toward their math class. The day seemed to drag on since they were all filled with the wonder of what a new home would bring. It would work as a place for them all to lice but also for a future headquarters. Their hero group would already by leaps and bounds ahead of others since they had Art's long rich family to support them. But at the end of the day, his family worked for hero corp research division. That meant that they were highly paid and the money that was spent went to improving young heroes. It also put everyone in a safer position. 

"Alright, I have already sent my parents the online tour so they had sent their approval. They wanted to see it since it is a little expensive. But since it will go toward our safety and my parents' safety, hero corp is providing the finds for additional security." Arty smirked as he said this. The security system was going to be the most expensive part of the deal. Since Art's family had managed to get hero corp to pay for it then it was a slick and smart move. 

Art started off jogging as soon as the group left the building. He was sure that he had memorized the route there and wanted to make sure the group would remember how to walk there. He had not spent just an hour or two on this. He had spent a lot of his personal time on this and was sure it would be perfect. 

The jog only took about twenty minutes but in that time the group managed to leave the clustered buildings of the city behind. Instead, they were passing larger homes that had a lot of land and yard around them. Trees blocked off the sight of the others nearby until the group reached a massive mansion with its land three times the size of the others. 

"That's it. It looks pretty nice, right? The man that owned this gave it up because he decided to take a spiritual path and is now roaming around looking to help anyone possible with his fortune." It was quite the story of why this mansion was in the market. "This stuff happens a lot. You wouldn't imagine." This was the rich attitude coming through. Art had seen people fall in to the spiritual path and sometimes regret it. 

"This place is like double the size of where you used to live. I could fit like a hundred of our houses in it." Asher was amazed that Art was just going to buy this. It was also a sure proof of how much money Art actually had. Asher now understood just how much it would have hurt to have it all taken away and be told to leave. The only thing that Asher worried about was that Art would let it all go to his head. 

"Come on. We have plenty to see. The best parts will show themselves in time. I just wish we could have built our own. But I will need to save up and work to get there." The group let out a collective sigh. Art was only throwing his money around so that he would be able to make sure they had a secure future and a safe place to keep growing to the top. The attack that had injured even the brother he had feared at one point was putting him in to high gear. It was due time that he began to take everything more seriously. 

"I know that this place is big, but will we really be able to see it all today? We still have school tomorrow…" Jane was the only one trying to hold herself back. Laura was already dashing ahead to wait at the door for it to be unlocked.. She planned to search every single corner.
