"Tights aren't a necessity, superheroes in comics wear that to show off their muscles and to sexualize women," Adonis said to Danny. She was never quite a fan of things of this nature, but now that this was her world she'd probably have to rethink a lot. "We're just teens.. well, young adults now. We're not gonna have godly body shapes to show off."
She listened to Alice's idea with interest, but ultimately shook her head in slight disapproval. "No offense, Al, but we'd sound like an offbrand Power Rangers," Adonis said. She was kind of a hypocrite since she didn't really have any team name ideas herself. -
Danny chuckled at what Adonis said. "It was a good thought, Alice." Danny said putting his hand on Alice's shoulder, smiling softly. "But, it does seem kinda silly. But at least you were able to come up with something." Danny said joking with his friends. "Why don't we just call ourselves The Five? I mean, sure it's incredibly simple, and probably not very well thought out, but it also has a bit of mystery to it. 'The Five. Watch out for The Five'." Danny said making air quotes. "I mean unless anyone has anything better?"
-
Alice was disappointed that no one liked her name idea. She thought it sounded cool. When she heard Danny's idea, Alice said "That sounds incredibly generic. Like, not even really all intimidating or cool, just generic. I don't think we'd be taken seriously with that name."
-
Akumu frowned slightly as Yume nodded in agreement before the darker twin spoke up "What about Guardians?"
-
Adonis could tell that she made Alice upset. She made a mental note to tone down on her wisecracks. "Guardians and Five both sound pretty generic," Adonis shrugged, agreeing with Alice. "For the five thing, we could spice it up with something else that means five, like Penta or Quin."
-
"That could work too. Or what about alliteration? The Furtive Five? Furtive kinda means like mysterious. Or maybe like Adonis said with synonyms, like The Perplexing Penta or Pentad. Pentad means five people. Or Peculiar Penta or Pentad." Danny said waving a finger around trying to come up with something catchy, yet reasonable.
-
Alice didn't really like either of those names and said "I don't think so." This was getting hard, no one could come up with a name everyone liked and it was starting to drag on. She then jokingly said "Why don't we just call ourselves The Team That Has No Name?"
-
Yume burst out laughing at her idea, accidentally firing off his arrows though a wall as he fell down. Akumu looked amused and one of his tentacles lifted Yume to his feet "or we could let the media give us one
-
"Oh no, not the media!" Adonis said in overdramatic mock horror. Then she shrugged. "If we let that happen, don't be surprised when we bust in to save people, only to be greeted with 'Oh look, its the Hero Team!'. The media's basic and shallow, if we can't agree on something, then the public will make sure to give it to us ten times worse than our initial ideas," Adonis said. Then she had an idea.
"We could all write a name on some paper, then draw to see which one can be our official name. That way it's completely random, and completely fair," Adonis suggested. Already she was tearing up a sheet of paper from her notebook. -
"How 'bout we just wait on a team name," Danny said. "In hindsight, probably not incredibly important is it?" Danny said. He felt bad. He didn't like when he and his friend disagreed on things, though people always have disagreements here and there. And since the team name thing that got brought up was his idea, he felt more at blame because of the disagreement.
"Even ifthe news or media comes up with some horrendous name, we ultimately get to decide on what our team name will be. Unless you guys are on board with Adonis's plan." Danny said.

Robert Frost woke up in his rundown hidden apartment. It was late, about 4:00. His apartment was dull, grey and brown, stains all over the place and full of smells. But, its the life he chose. The news on the television was blabbering about how a mysterious icy man and five superpowered individuals were at a bank and fighting. He growled and shut off the TV and headed towards his kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing a beer. He twisted off the top and chugged it down before getting dressed and walking out towards town, waiting for an opportunity to cause more mayhem. -
Alice said "Danny's right, we can come up with a team name later. We should really be focusing on what we came here for in the first place. Training."
-
"I agree with danny" Yume said, eyeing the holes he had made in the wall with his arrows
-
Adonis puts back down the notebook. "Yep, since that's settled, we should find out if we're at our maximum potential," Adonis said. She is kind of excited, she's wanted to test out a bunch of theories and hypotheticals with everyone's powers. "We each can take a corner and one can go in the middle- that is, if we're planning on doing solo practice. Later though, we definitely need to try working together since we're gonna be a team."
-
"Agreed." Danny said. "I'll go first. Danny stepped up and set the mannequin back up and attempted to strike it again with a lightning bolt, but nothing came out. He attempted to run at it, and while he was running faster than normal, it wasn't anything like he was running the other day. "What the hell?" Danny said "this just worked.

Frost continued walking around town, stumbling across the news article about Angel's dad. "How peculiar." He thought. "Rich man dead. Family's probably removed from home. Active crime scene." Frost chuckled. "Nothing I can't get across." Frost smiled and began walking, trying to find a way to the dead rich man's house.
