The Club of Unauthorized Heroes - Year 2
Pairings: BBxRae, BBxTer, RobxStar, CyxBee
Summary: The ambiguously-named Project Club of Murakami High has established themselves as not-so-secret superheroes for hire. But while the team navigates the pressure of being out in the open and worries that their stint of big missions was just a fluke, a new threat set out to dismantle everything they’ve worked for brews right underneath their noses.

Bee didn’t react like he thought she would. She slowly lost her smile as Victor spoke. She looked back at the two boys –it was Garth and someone else, a redhead wearing a sleeveless hoodie- then back at Vic, and raised her chin. “We don’t want your help.”
“What?” Vic gaped. “Why not?”
“Because we’re gonna deal with it. East High’s own Project club.” Bee crossed her arms, stared up defiantly. “I started one.”
“You… copied the idea of the club you heard from me… and now you wanna expel us from investigating?” Vic confirmed, his smile fading, as did his excitement over seeing Bee again.
“I think it’s only appropriate.” Her face got potent with self-righteousness the way he remembered. “This is our turf after all.”
Vic held up his arms. “You know what? Fine. Whatever. I’m not gonna deal with this. Bye.” He began to walk out of the cafeteria.
“Vic, come back here,” Dick called, as he approached Bee. “It’s Bee, right? Look, I’m not here to undermine you. You made your own Project club, I think that’s great. We can help each other out. You know your school, we’ve been doing this longer… We can both do this without anyone stepping on anyone’s toes.” He clapped his hands and smiled diplomatically. “Also, you can’t stop us from doing what we came to do. So.”
Bee eyed him up and down. “I’ll take a collaboration as long as we’re clear who’s boss.”
Me, thought Dick. “Whatever. I don’t care,” he said.
He and Bee shook hands. Both were crossing their fingers in their respective heads.
