AN: So here it is...I tried my best with my cold and sinus pressure and fluid in my ear...goodie. LO:CI not mine, yada yada, blah blah, except for William, he's mine. The song is really cool too, yet not mine either. My Hero by Foo Fighters

Today a child asked me who my hero was.

"Who's you're hero?"

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out

"Excuse-me?"

"You're hero."

"William!" The mother was about to move him to a different seat when,

"It's alright ma'am. What do you mean who's my hero?'

"Well everyone has a hero, my teacher said so."

I thought about it. "I don't know."

"How can you not know?"

"Well, I haven't really thought about it. How would you describe your hero?"

He smiled. "My hero is my dad!"

I smiled too. "Oh really. And why's that?"

"'Cause he's big, so he can get me my stuff from the shelves when I can't reach it. He's strong, and we play airplane everyday when he gets home from work!"

"Really? Sounds like a great guy!"

He leaned in and whispered into my ear, "But you want to know the bestest part...he's ordinary."

I leaned back to look at the boy's face. It shone at the thought of his dad. "How's that the bestest part?"

"'Cause I know that I wanna be just like him when I grow up, and I can because he's not some comic book hero. He's my bestest friend 'cause he listens to what I gotta say. Superman can't listen to me, he's just a piece a paper."

"Mmm, well I don't really know."

"You still don't know afta I explained it to ya?" I nodded my head. He pouted for a second, then "Ya got a bestest friend?" I nodded my head. "She do stuff for you?"

"Actually it's a he, and yes he does."

"Well why isn't he your hero?"

Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

I sat there and thought about it. Not just to humor William, but to actually see if I really thought of my best friend as a hero. I looked at the boy and smiled, "You're right." and looked up to see Bobby weaving his way through the crowds towards us.

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes

There goes my hero
He's ordinary

I never thought of Bobby as a hero, but that's what he was.

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

Looking at what he's done for me all these years, I surprised I didn't think of it before, the evidence was right before my eyes.

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

As he finally got to us, he smiled at William.

"William, meet my hero, Dectective Goren." William looked at Bobby in awe, while Bobby raised his eyebrows at me and smirked. I just smiled back.

"The hero of a cop, you must be good." William was smiling at Bobby while we both chuckled.

"I try." William smiled even bigger.

"Wait 'til I tell my dad that I met two cops, he'd be totally psyched."

"William!" The mother spoke up after listening to the conversation. "Where did you here that word?" She stood. "Thank you so much for keeping an eye on him, but know we have to go."

"Bye William!" We both chorused aas he walked away. He turned and waved before they turned the corner.


Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

"Hey Eames."

"Yeah Bobby?"

"Be my hero?"

I smiled and shook my head, "Of course."


There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

AN:Review please.
