Chapter 2: Chapter 2
It's been a couple of minutes now since the incident with the gangsters and it's been pretty quiet if it weren't for the laughter from that group of idiots
"Pss, hey"
"What?"
The guy in the red hoodie speaks to me in a low voice, I look at him quizzically since I didn't know him at all, neither my former self nor my current self
"Those assholes are always like that, they're a pain in the ass"
"Hhump, more like a bunch of retards"
"Ha, exactly"
Okay, I think I like this guy
"I'm Cameron Diaz, I feel like we'll get along wonderfully"
I extend my hand for a handshake as I smile, the guy looks at him momentarily before smiling back at me
"I'm Reiner Miller and we sure will, buddy"
Wait, Reiner, I've heard that name before? Meh, I'm sure I must have heard it from one of my classmates
Well, from this position I can see Reiner's face and how the sun's rays were falling on him in a way that glorified his face
Just to clarify, I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality to admit that Reiner is outrageously handsome, truly worthy of a guy who looks like a manga protagonist
Well, after I made friends with Reiner, we started talking, every now and then I would glance at the other two remaining occupants of the room that I have not yet spoken to
The blonde was looking outside where there was a small garden and every now and then she grabbed her camera to take pictures
On the other hand, emo was reading a book that on its cover said: "Parents are nothing but obstacles in your life: 100 tips on what to do to stop them from screwing you over"... I'm pretty sure she has parental problems.
"Hey, Reiner."
"What's up?"
"Do you know who the two girls are?"
When I ask, Reiner's face suddenly lights up as if he has a realization.
"Oh! You mean Ashley and Iris?"
"Oh yeah, them."
"Well, Iris Thompson, is quite peculiar, even if she is quite beautiful, she is not at all famous, I only know her because she is from my class, anyway, she loves photography as you might notice and she is quite reserved, other than that, I don't know anything anymore but I think she has a little brother"
"Aha, what about Ashley?"
"Yeah, Ashley Veers, I think she claims to be non-binary, she has a shitty relationship with her parents and she's pretty goth, she's good at biology, she's pretty antisocial and I'm pretty sure she has an eighth grade disease, for the last 3 days she's always seen with a book that's titled like that book of the dead, what was it called?...Ah yes! Necronomicon"
'Okey, that sounds a lot like eighth grade disease but we are in a world where even a blanket can destroy the world because it's just "anomalous", I'm 95% sure that book is the real deal'
I slyly turn my gaze to look at Ashley, my eyes fall on the backpack at her feet and I catch the word "Necr" on the cover of a black hardback book
'That's why you looked so familiar, SCP-5239'
.
My thoughts are interrupted by Reiner, who I now with all the clues pieced together identified as SCP-4051, and made me look at him
.
'Hey, why are you so curious about them... Oh, don't tell me! Do you like any of them? Bro, you're so bold!"
"No, I don't like any of them"
"Okay, okay, let's say you don't like them"
Reiner had a smile that seemed to say "I get it all", I felt like punching him in the face
Anyway, I looked straight ahead to notice how the blonde girl, now Iris Thompson, was looking at me, I look back at her and her eyes withdraw to focus back on the garden
'SCP-105, Iris Thompson'
.
I couldn't believe it, I had 3 SCPs considered OP, at least Reiner and Iris
Iris could manipulate information as well as being immune to memetic agents or anomalous mental interference, she even went so far as to be able to mind control all of humanity but was stopped by the Foundation, while Reiner could, with enough understanding, create a clone opposite of everything, that when touching the original, literally erases both from existence permanently, even immortals and gods are not spared from the incredible threat to their eternal lives that is Reiner Miller
I decided it was better to spend the remaining detention time talking to Reiner and it was the best decision, Reiner was someone who loved superhero comics and we spent the time talking about all kinds of heroes, their powers and their possible uses.
The bell rang marking the end of detention, grabbing my stuff, I waited for Reiner to grab his stuff so we could start walking together towards the exit
"Hey, Cameron, did you ever think about what to do if you got powers?"
"Yeah."
"So, what would you do?"
"Get rich, hide them if they're not good for that, self-defense..."
"Wait, you wouldn't use your powers to be a hero?"
Reiner looks at me incredulously, I guess the SCP records were right, Reiner is the kind of guy who prioritizes the safety of others more than himself, a guy who if given powers then he would become a great hero but that kind of guy isn't me
Why be a hero? If it were Marvel's world or OPM's or even BNHA's I would definitely become a hero, but this is the SCP world, there is no place for heroes here, only monsters with or without human skin, hope is just an illusion and a luxury that only those ignorant of the truth of this world have and even then, dying in horrible suffering and then being marked as an unfortunate accident by a secret organization that they don't even feel anything for your death is a sure thing
Being a hero is just a childish dream, my reality warping is useless against anyone who has any gadgets that can override the changes to reality, the Chaos Insurgency, the Hand of the Serpent, the Global Occult Coalition, the SCP Foundation, the Church of the Broken God and other anomaly related groups have many of those, once I get caught by any of them, that will be the end of me
Saving the people of this world would at most give them weeks to live before dying from an anomaly, there is no point in doing such a thing as to risk my life
"What, why? Because you could save innocent people, help others"
"What if the person you saved dies the next week? What if you end up getting caught by some organization and become a guinea pig for wanting to be a hero? Being a super hero will only ruin your life, your future and everything you love without gaining anything"
"But people need someone to help, it doesn't matter if they die later, we all do, but wouldn't it be better to know that you did something to help so that person could spend more time with the people they love than to know that, even though you had the power to help, you didn't do it? Being a hero isn't about saving others for the sake of winning something, it's about doing the right thing"
"Why, if I had powers, would I need to do such a thing?"
"Because if not you, who else would?"
"..."
Those words struck a deep chord in me, "Who else would?"
"Me... Let's just get out of school"
"It's okay"
The quietly awkward air between us was painfully evident, we walked silently to the exit and, without saying a word, exchanged numbers
'Today... It was a terrible first day of transmigration, wasn't it?'
