It was 12 in the afternoon on a Friday. Choda, Aston, Benji, and Haven were playing four against four at the basketball court. Just as they were about to get in the next game they all got a text in the group chat from Kaitlyn.
"I signed us up for a quad admission in incheon square tomorrow at 2 so get ready dont be late".
The group looks at the text.
"Incheon square? Thats thirty minutes away".
Choda says putting his phone back down.
The group decided not to play the next game all heading home. The next day Aston stayed home while Choda, Benji, and Haven all went to incheon square. A popular city in imbatha known for hosting the most hero related events.
The theee of them arrived to incheon square the next day, upon arrival they see Kaitlyn standing on a nearby light post smoking a cigarette.
Kaitlyn notices them eyeing them as they walk up to her.
"Five minutes before two o'clock, you guys aren't bad at getting around despite walking everywhere. Don't one of you have a car?".
The three guys look at eachother.
"Well sexy if you must know, the three of us are what you would call broke".
Benji says putting on an entitled voice.
"Chodas not. But he's too young to drive anyways so just come on lets sign in".
Kaitlyn starts walking towards the entrance of the building.
The group follows her into the building where they run into the front desk where an old woman is writing something.
"What are you guys here for?".
The woman asks the group.
Kaitlyn takes out an ID putting it on the table.
"We're scheduled for a quad admission for two".
The woman takes a look at Kaitlyns ID before typing into a computer.
"Are you aware that you must have atleast one member eighteen or older to start a quad and no member under thirteen".
"Yes".
The whole group responds to the lady in unison.
"Alright, go down the hall and go to the door at the very end, thats where your appointment is goodluck".
The group started to walk down the hallway heading to the door at the very end of the hall. The group headed into the room looking around.
Behind the door was a fairly large room, all white and bright. In the room sat three people in white suits. Two darkskinned men on the outside and one light-skinned female in thr middle. Infront of them was a white desk with their working materials.
"Come stand before us".
The man on the left said to the group.
The group followed as told ans stood among them.
"Is this the aspiring quad consisting of Kaitlyn Parcel, Choda Wunta, Benji California, and Haven Declan".
The man on the right asks.
"Uh- yes it is".
Choda replies.
"Are you aware that a quad is meant to team up to protect cities and towns that heroes might not have the time or capabilities to protect at times, and that as a quad you must have strength and unity".
The man on the right asks the group.
"Yeah bro, of course".
Benji says with a serious face trying not to laugh.
The three behind the desk side eye Benji.
The woman in the middle finnally opens her mouth beginning a sentence.
"Kleynon Parcels middle child and Olachi Wuntas only son in the same quad. Who would've thought this is how the two families would reunite. Haven't seen these two last names in the same place in thirteen years. This truly is legendary".
"Wait, you have that big house because your mom's Olachi?". Benji says to choda wide eyed dropping his jaw.
"She's hot".
Haven says outloud to himself licking his lips.
"Don't talk about my mom like that you crystal boy!" Choda says as he smacks Haven.
Haven pushes Choda to the ground and tries to go after him getting held back by Benji and Kaitlyn.
"You wanna smack me! Come here you little short brat!".
The three behind the desk watched the group for a few seconds with disappointed looks on their faces.
"Enough!".
The man on the left yells out.
Immediately they look at him before getting back to the line they were in before.
"A quad is about unity and working with one another, we should kick you guys out right now. But we're going to give you one more chance".
The woman in the middle got ready to speak.
"Haven Declan, I looked into your past. Your family immigrated here from Al Trince in twenty twenty-three where they seeked greater financial stability. They gambled their money away and became addicts, that i know. I know you have a hunger in you, for a better future. I also know your parents signed you up for the Imbathan meta plan when you were a baby. I know your power but not its potential. I think you have a bright future in the hero industry Haven, I approve of this member".
Haven kept a straight face looking the woman in the eye as she spoke.
"Benji California".
Benji froze. Staring at the woman with his emotionless eyes.
"I looked into your past, I don't know much about you. But what I do know is that you're born from a family filled with pain. Signed up for the Imbathan meta plan at six years old. Your mom killed herself the next year infront of you. And I also know you have no other family here and were homeless for atleast a year, I didn't look into how you got into such a nice school but I let that go by. Moral of your story is, you probably had a good reason to become something you aren't today. There's alot of mystery behind you Benji... but im willing to trust that you have good intentions, I believe you surrounded yourself with allies that reshaped any harmful thoughts you've ever had. I approve of this member".
Benji looked the woman in her eye, seemingly staring into her soul.
"I have to say, there's certainly an aura about you... Benji California".
The woman seemed uncomfortable at the sight of him. He stared into her soul.
No.
He stared deeper.
"Well anyways, were going to invite you guys to an official quad admission tournament for next Saturday morning. Hope to see you guys there".
The man on the right says before putting four papers on the desk.
"Consider yourself one step closer, and Choda tell your mom Tamia said hello".
The woman said as she sat back in her seat.
