Funnily enough, Skyla had been asleep in her Business Management 101 class when her cell phone started screaming like a goddamn siren. The totally professional young woman who was definitely not drooling at all, thank you very much, sat up bolt upright with a yelp of alarm. Her professor glared at her. "Miss Reyes," the middle-aged man said with an edge to his tone–hey, he could hate her all he wanted, but it wasn't Skyla's fault he was so boring.

"I swear it was turned off," Skyla insisted, frantically searching through her settings to try and stop the noise. Turning the volume down wasn't doing anything. "Just–I'll just head out here, I guess, sorry about that," she said, tossing her bag over her shoulder and grabbing her notebook(those were infographics, not doodles).

"Aaaahhhhh what the fuck," she whisper-shouted, before noticing an email notification. Skyla hadn't used her email for anything other than setting up accounts for stuff in what, four years? And it was addressed to Aeroblast… Shiiit… Had someone really figured out her identity? Upon reading the email, Skyla realized that yep, they had. And they wanted to…meet up? They even acknowledged the fact that several heroes had died and they still thought that someone would want to go waltzing in? Listen, Skyla may have been an idiot, but she wasn't a suicidal idiot. Still, the fact that they were threatening to leak her identity, even expose the people close to her… Well, hey, at least the noise had stopped.

A da-ding! sounded, with a text appearing on Skyla's screen. 'bruhhh wtf was that????' from Emma. She shot a message back: 'dude i stg i think some weird hacker found me?? i got an email from some trace character but?? they called me aeroblast?? whole things wack lemme copypaste it to u what should i do'. After sending the email and waiting a few minutes, Emma replied.

'dude what the hell. i mean u dont rlly have a choice ig? if theyre gonna expose u then u gotta go but be careful. i dont wanna have 2 go avenge u myself if u end up like the other 2'

Skyla rolled her eyes. 'thanks for the vote of confidence'

'ik u best'

'yea well u dont need to be a dick abt it' Skyla checked the time. 1:46. Ah, well, the lecture was almost over anyway, and it wasn't like Emma couldn't show her the notes later. It looked like she'd be skipping. Skyla tucked her phone into her messenger bag and headed to her dorm to get changed. Hey, a little extra time to kill could be used productively, right? Burn off some stress, kick some ass, save a kitten in a tree, the usual. Bam, superhero-ing.

Aeroblast needed to get things done.

Jax sighed, looking out the window of her apartment, her laptop on her stomach. She usually never fell asleep on the couch, but she was overloaded with homework the night before, and had no problem drifting off. Until she was abruptly woken up by her laptop pinging louder than she had thought possible. Startled, Jax rolled off the couch and landed on the floor.
"Ow…" Rubbing her eyes, Jax clicked to her email tab and checked her inbox. Addressed to… Heartbreaker? How did they know? She let out another sigh as she continued scanning the screen. This Trace… they wanna meet up? Well… I have no other choice, do I? Jax stood up and padded across the living room to her bedroom, where she crashed on the bed, and was snoring within seconds.

Gir was fixing his motorbike in his garage and heard a loud noise from inside his house. He was surprised but just assumed it was just an alarm he set on his phone and just ignored the sound until he was finished with repairing the vehicle.

Gir took off his gear and got to his kitchen and grabbed his phone which had eventually vibrated off the table. He checked it for cracks. Unlucky, his phone screen seems to have stopped working. Then he heard another sound coming from his laptop. He went to it and opened his email which seems to be the cause of the alarm. He frowned, trace? He's being blackmailed but it doesn't seem like the mail is from a villain, more like a prank. But he couldn't risk having his personal information leaked and ruining his life so he might as well go. Especially to demand trace to have his phone fixed.
