What The Luck!?

Chapter 4 - 4. Powers

" Well young Asher, my ability is known as evaluation. I have one of the many powers that doctors like me use every day on patients." The doctor adjusted his glasses, a strange light reflecting in his eyes. " I can see that your ability is indeed a bit different. I am not sure what to make of it."

"Doc, what is it? Maybe I will have an idea if you can describe it." The doctor gave Asher a hard look while scribbling down more notes.

Asher leaned forward trying to get a look but was dismayed to see the doctor angle the papers away from him. "Now don't get too ahead of yourself let me go check the computer for more information. Our database may have a detailed description for you. My powers are only giving me a name of an ability, normally I can give a description as well." The doctor hopped up and rushed to a computer at the opposite end of the room where another doctor joined him.

Asher saw the two typing things in and arguing about things, however they seemed even more excited to be adding more things to their notes. "Well those two seem rather excited, it's looking good for you." The nurse assured him before going back to her work. She was gathering the used syringes from the day so they could be properly disposed of.

The doctors came back to Asher, they had gathered their thoughts and smiled in expectation. "You seem to have quite the amount of fortune today young man, we have found that you have a power not on record!" the doctors gave each other a shared smile, "We of course look forward to you figuring out your abilities and sharing them with us. The name my evaluation power gave it is Lucky Jinx. There was no description from my power or from our database. We know nothing." The doctor laughed harder than he meant dropping his clipboard.

Asher glanced down, getting a sight of the notes on the paper before the doctor scrambled to pick it up.

"Fifth test subject does not show evaluation with two superpowers in one body. No mutations have occurred as a secondary evolution. A new superpower was instead recorded with no description. The ability seems to be contradictory with itself. The ability is first lucky but second a jinx which is known to cause bad luck. Our process shall be observation to-"

This was all Asher had read before the doctor had picked up the clipboard. "Ehm sorry about that, I got a bit excited. New powers are rare nowadays and it is always a rush to find one. We will be transferring you in to class one with a few others today. This is the class with some of the more delicate powers and we will place you there due to the lack of knowledge on what the power entails." With a nod the two doctors stood up along with Asher.

Asher made the sudden turn to make a move toward the door now that he felt better. His face encountered something soft and warm "EEh!" a higher pitched squeal filled his ears.

Pulling his face from two voluptuous mounds he found the nurse's face filled with horror. Asher turned around to see that a tray of used syringes had been in the nurse's hands was now on the ground and the syringes had flown in to the two doctors faces.

"AHH I'm so sorry are you all right? I didn't mean to, it was an accident." Asher and the nurse both said these things as they went to the doctors side and helped pull the needles out. The needles on the Syringes that Asher pulled out seemed a bit tougher than the ones that the nurse pulled out which seemed to cause the doctor a bit more discomfort.

"No ah-No we are-ah at fault too- ah, we stood up too -ah dang that one hurt. We stood up too fast and - ah got in the way." The doctor Asher was helping tried to apologize as well but had a hard time of it.

Having fixed up the doctors they shooed Asher away to go to his new class assignment. The nurse assistant at the door gave him a slip of paper showing his class transfer to the sophomore class one.

Heading to the classroom Asher passed a handful of students walking toward their class, they were obviously skipping the first period of the day. He edged around them since they didn't seem to want to give up the center of the hall, just as he moved by the student in front tripped on nothing. His face slammed in to the ground and his four friends tripped over him in to a dog pile of groans.

'Wow what bad luck, that kid just tripped over nothing but air' Asher laughed a bit to himself at the sight.

Class one was a bit detached from the other rooms since these were the people with more dangerous or lesser known powers. This also seemed to be mirrored by the fact that these students often joined larger organizations or important government jobs. With stronger powers they had more versatility, it was everyone's dream to join class one or at the very least class two.

Asher slid open the door to reveal only nine other students in the room. The teacher was standing at the front chalk board about to start in on a math problem. "Another transfer? You're the fifth one today, our class one has doubled in a day. I guess there goes the easy life for me." The teacher wearing a clean cut grey suit with round rim silver glasses looked fairly stressed. His grey hair matched his suit which made him seem very neat and organized. "Hand over that transfer slip so I can verify the transfer in my books. Hmm Asher Ronan please introduce yourself to your new classmates. They will be with you for two more years in this school, get to know them well."
