Prologue

The first thing you need to know about me is that my name is Skylar James Johnson. My brothers are Xavier Nathaniel Johnson and Nicholas Roger Johnson, but we call them Nate and Nick for short. The three of us are near identical triplets. We all look the same, straight black hair, blue eyes, and tall with a lean muscular build. The differences are on the inside. We are not normal, we have superpowers. Nate can read minds and basically can control a person if he was evil, luckily he's not. Nick can lift objects with his mind. Fortunately, people are one of the things he can't lift.

I am the odd one, instead of my mind having a power, I'm a human generator. Electricity tends to spark off me when I get wet or am in contact with metal. My laptop can last for hours from just being in contact with me. Also I have been known to cause a few power outages. Electricity also likes to surface when I get mad, happy, or extremely scared. If you look close enough during those moods, you can see little bits of electricity sparking off my skin.

I still remember how we discovered them. We were ten at the time and we were at the park in a heavily wooded area. We were fighting over the rules of a game we would play. We ended up fighting, throwing punches. Nate dodged every one of them. Nick had snowballs flying without touching them. We didn't realize how strange those things were until my power showed. Nate pushed me down after I'd been soaked with snowballs. His hands touched my wet clothes and got shocked. I immediately lost my anger to horror as my brother got electrocuted by me. He quickly removed his hands from me and that was when we realized that we weren't normal. We unanimously decided to help the people and to keep it a secret from our family and friends.

Our parents don't know about them and they can't know about them. We didn't have them for ten years of our life. Our dad is an officer and doesn't believe in stuff like that. He thinks that those things are inventions or elaborate illusions. Our mom is different. If she knew, she'd tell everyone and be thought of as crazy.

But in a way they do know about us, they just don't realize it. In fact, the whole world has seen us using our powers in action. They can find us on the internet and on TV. Go into a store you can see us on shirts, posters, book bags, and other things, except, they don't know who we really are. They know us as the Silver Seals or as Electro, The Mentalist, and The Mentalphysicist or MP. We didn't give ourselves the names, our fans did. They see us in silver masks, gloves and boots. Nate in red, Nick in green, and me in blue. After they named us we added the logo. It is two s's overlapping each other with a partial ring around them, all in silver. It is splayed across our chest on our metal and spandex mesh suits for everyone to see.

We fight a group who calls themselves Tiger's Blood. We call them T.B. for short. They rob the people of New York City. For the most part they were just petty thieves that needed to be stopped, but occasionally one with powers shows up with bad intentions.

Chapter 1

I heard the alarm clock go off. I tried to hit the snooze button but the clock had moved out of my reach. Ten more minutes, I moaned. We had been out till two in the morning fighting muggers and bank robbers. I only got about two hours of sleep after completing my homework.

Come on Sky, we have to get up. Mom will think something's up if we're not up, Nate said getting up.

Alright, I said as Nick removed my blankets. I got up and took a hot shower. I let the water help wake me up. When I got out I checked on the knife cut I got several nights ago. It was torn again and bleeding. It would probably never heal with us having to go out every other night to fight. It ran down the left side of my chest. Every time I moved I pulled the make shift stitches and reopened the wound. I scrubbed the wound clean and slathered antibiotic ointment in it. I pulled out the needle and thread and started re-stitching. It was extremely painful since I had nothing to numb the cut with. Once I was satisfied with it, I pulled on my shirt. I went downstairs to the kitchen to grab a bowl of cereal.

How's your chest? Nick asked quickly.

Same. Won't heal up if we keep up this schedule, I said.

Can't you make something to make it heal? Nate asked. He was referring to my ability with electronics. Usually I invented gadgets to help us out.

Not much I can do, except rest, but we all know that won't happen, I said finishing up my cereal. "We have school and I don't think coach
