Power: ????
I'm glad Alana has gotten used to student life here at East Coast, but now she's craving the thrills of being an Afterschooler. She can read and sense auras without a crystal, but she keeps asking me to give find her one. Not like they fall right out of the sky... Oh, wait... Forget that.
Power: Can create energy objects with her mind
She's definitely grown into a sort of leadership role for her friends. Still outspoken and very defiant when she feels it necessary. It worries me how far she's willing to go to get the job done, but I trust her to make the right decisions. If she ever falters, than we may find ourselves in big trouble.
Power: Superspeed
I'm glad to see how far Brian has matured over the years. He's learned to slow down a bit, pun intended, and enjoy a normal student life. However, whenever I need him to step up, he'll be there in the blink of an eye. Literally. If he plays his cards right, I could see him being a hero long past his time as a student.
Power: Telekinesis
Cyclone's still himself, you could say. He makes sure to use his power sparingly, relying on his own capabilities rather than his crystal. He and James still cause their fair share of mischief, but nothing that I need to actually worry about. It's important that Cyclone and his friends learn to live normal lives every now and again.
Power: Time manipulation
Time has brought out the best in these two. Pun intended. Yes, Dipsy and Lala are still absolute fools, but they've proven themselves time and time again. Plus it's best to keep them both in check and busy, so that they don't accidentally use their powers to cause some accidental chaos.
Powers: Portals
International work suits Geoff. His portals have made traversing the world so much easier. He's still brings all kinds of charisma to this job, even getting a smile out of me and the others every now and again. His creativity with his portals is like a fighting style all his own. I believe that even I'd have a hard time keeping up with him in a fight.
Powers: Shapeshift
James has adapted the best to everyday student life the best. He focuses on his studies, as he should. Though I will admit, his power to simply turn into anybody isn't all that practical in many situations. If he could mimic their powers that would be impressive. I'd be intrigued to see an Afterschooler that can shapeshift and use other abilities.
Power: Water manipulation
What's there to say about Julianna that I haven't already? She's grown into her powers and maturity. She always wanted to be a cheerleader, so she did just that. Although being an Afterschooler is an important part of her life, she doesn't let it hold her back from her personal life and successes. We could all learn a thing or two from her.
Power: Time manipulation
A quiet follower, but not a bad Afterschooler. Marina really stepped up when we needed her to, and more than delivered. Though I'm not sure if she'll want to do this long term, I'm honored to call her an Afterschooler.
Power: Invisibility, Forcefields, & Phasing
After all these years, Mary still stays true to herself. Behind her sarcastic and studious nature, she still cares deeply for her friends and those around her. Even when she rags on me, I can't exactly be fooled. Afterschoolers get their crystals for a reason.
Power: Aura Semblance
Even though I'm just her adoptive father, I can't express how proud she's made me. Breaking free of GenTech's influence wasn't easy, yet she stands as one of its greatest opposes. Her semblance, Onyx, does his job well. I never imagined such a power could exist within the crystals, which only proves there is so much we don't know. Regardless, Maya and her team have been doing a good job keeping in GenTech in line for the rest of us. The only thing I fear right now is how I'm gonna explain her to Alana...
Power: Explosions
Natalia continues to be the secret powerhouse of the covert team. No expects the small girl of the group to be able to trigger explosion with her hands, but being underestimated is what makes her so great. She's also gotten close to Maya, so they help balance each other out.
Power: Shapeshift into inanimate objects
The unspoken brains behind the covert team, Rebecca helps keep everyone on track. It's no surprise that she and Sasha are both best friends and a great team. However, I still wouldn't want to pick a fight with Rebecca alone.
Power: Lightning
Rick is much more adventurous than his sister and a bit more focused than his brother. Being able to control lightning will require a lot of practice to master, but I believe that Rick is more than up to the task. We'll all just need to be extra careful when he decides to use his powers. Maybe some rubber gear that will nullify the elctricity?
Power: Power Copying
So Samantha's powers have gotten out of hand, but for the better. She now permanently possess a few powers from her friends, without any downsides. She can still drain powers from others, but has learned to minimize the effects on her fellow Afterschoolers. Outside of that, she has also calmed down and matured as a student. I've even gone and seen a few of her stage performances here at the school.
Power: Flight
Still as cheerful as ever, Sasha is proof that you don't need to be a hardened warrior to be a good Afterschooler. People may sometimes expect her to be lost or even confused in a situation, but she is capable of taking care of herself and standing out.
Power: Control over plants and animals
Sky and Alyx are nearly inseparable, but that does not mean they're solely dependent on each other. Sky has all of nature at her control, so she can probably solo any situation she comes across. She's still quieter than her sister, keeping a more calm demeanor. Some things never change, but I wouldn't want anyone to.
Power: Lava
I wasn't sure about this one, but I guess she earned her crystal. Being able to spew lava from your hands is nothing short of destructive. She's gonna need a lot of training to make sure she doesn't accidentally burn down the school... Wish me luck.
