Static Shock: Season 5

The new kid

"Hey Richie. Have you seen that new kid? He is so strange." Virgil said as they walked to their next class which was Science

"Yeah, I know Verg. He is so smart yet he can't walk 10 metres without tripping somehow." Richie said as they took a seat. It was the last class for the day and they have been thinking that the new guy, Marvin, was one of the metahumans.

"Maybe we should follow him home and see what he does." Vergil said. Richie nodded and the bell rang so they picked up their bags and followed him. Marvin stopped at the front of a huge mansion which was supposedly for a famous band called the Road Rebels but they split up 7 months ago because they all went to take courses and to get degrees in something.

"Why do you think he stays here? He's a billionare if he bought it off the Road Rebels." Vergil whispered to Richie

"Dunno." Richie answered. They looked through the window to see Marvin throw his bag onto the dining table and grab a note from the fridge door. Richie used a type of Binoculars thing to see what it said. It read:

Dear Marvin,

I got called off to go to the hospital. A whole school bus crashed when a drunk guy was driving so I have tons of things to do. I'll be back by 11. Go ahead and order pizza. I left the money on the table.

Toya.

Richie used some kind of device so that he could listen in on what he was saying.

In the house...

"Ughh...he's not in again! The badness of having a doctor for a guardian. If only Mom, Dad and Ema hadn't left to America." Marvin said as he flopped onto the couch and called to order pizza. Vergil and Richie went to the door and dinged the bell.

Marvin opened the door and said, "Yo." His red framed square glasses looked almost reflective when he saw them. Once again, he was strange and also looked strange. He wore a white T-Shirt, a pair o f jeans and a brown trench coat.

"Hey Marv. May we come in?" Vergil asked

"Sure. My cos' is not home anyway. As long as he's not around I can do whatever I want." Marvin answered. They walked in and sat on the couch. A few minutes later, the pizza came. There were 2 boxes of pizza so they ate it all.

"You can do whatever you want?" Richie asked

"Yeah anything. Even this." Marvin answered as he did a back hand spring, "And this." He ran up a wall and did a backflip.

"Wow. Where did you learn that?" Vergil asked.

"My pal Jay taught it to me. Yeah, I know you all think I'm a clutz but I'm not." Marvin answered.

"Hey can we go upstairs?" Richie asked as he walked to the staircase.

"NO!" Marvin shouted.

"Why?" Vergil asked.

"Um...because...Just go now." Marvin said. They walked out the door and Marvin slammed the door in their faces.
