It was a normal day in the Thunderman household. Well at least as normal as the Thundermans could get. Max climbed up the steps from his lair and walked into the living room and everyone was gathered around the living room while sitting in a circle, waiting for him.
" What's going on? Are we playing duck duck goose or something, because if we are I am going to say that it is totally unfair because Billy has super speed, and it's also unfair because I, a grown man am going to have to play a childs game. " Max joked and everyone looked at him and Hank stood up with a frown.
"Max, sit down for a moment. We have some bad news to tell you about." Hank sighed and Max walked over into the middle of the circle in front of hank, not sure about where this was going. "This years list for the young villains to watch has been released and Link Evilman told us that you are not on it, and so I checked the young super heros to watch list and you are listed as number they have been watching you like a hawk ever since you and Phoebe got rid of the Green Ghoul. They think you have true potential and bravery. We were told that you fought against your sister and tried to save her from the Green Ghoul and since Phoebe was posessed she was bumped to number three."
" Who is number 1?" Phoebe asked frustratedly.
"That's the other bad news Max. I know that you have been interested in the Maximizers daughter." Hank sighed.
" Who is the maximizer?" Billy asked.
" He's only the most dangerous villain in the world. Why do you bring her up dad?" Max asked fearfully.
" well she has decided to become a hero, and her family didn't take it that well, and she has been forced into hiding." Hank replied.
" Why did she go into hiding, her family should have supported her like you guys do for me right?"max asked confused and Hank looked a little unsure.
" well Max, villain families are not exactly like hero families. They are bad people typically and if they find out that their own family wants to be a hero they usually take it as the highest insult. But that's what we were going to talk to you about. That girl is in hiding but she is going to be living here. They have asked us to house her. We also wanted to ask if you have thought about being a hero instead." Hank started and then who was sitting beside Nora spoke out.
" Especially since the anti hero league thinks that you are an idiot and won't ever be a successful villain." laughed and then Hank hit him in the head. "Ow! Was that nessesary?!"
" How do you know what they think Colosso?" Max asked.
" Well when I was tricked about that award I overheard the meeting to create the antihero list of villains to watch and I suggested you and they laughed and said you were banned from the list. I'm sorry Max." said sadly. Phoebe walked over to Max.
" You ok Max?" Phoebe asked.
" Yeah, like dad said when I tried to catch the Green Ghoul, me being a villain is just a phase and I guess it's time for me to stop pretending." Max sighed and then he walked over to his slide and sat down and looked back with tears in his eyes. "I guess I may as well get rid of my evil lair while I'm at it."
" oh yeah and about that, we have to move your stuff up to Billy's room, the Maximizers daughter is going to stay down there." Hank cautiously said and Max had already start to slide but tried flipping around and tried to climb up but kept on sliding.
" Wait what?!" Max shouted, and then he landed on his bed and turned around and looked at his room sadly.
"But I love it down here."Max sighed. Barb ran down the stairs followed by Hank and Phoebe.
"Max honey."Barb sighed as she sat beside her son.
"Ok these Rocks have got to go." Hank said and Max stood up.
"Fine!go ahead and take my room and my happiness!its not like I'm your son or anything! Those villains were laughing because I'm on the hero list! I want to be a villain dad!" Max shouted.
"Max if your a villain then one of us will eventually have to put you in jail! How do you think we would feel about that?!" Hank had finally said it. He had drawn the line and told Max the harsh reality. "Max villains, the ones who are successful are awful people! You are not one! It IS a phase. The only reason you started this all was because you thought that Phoebe was better than you and now you're a better hero according to the League of heroes, not by much but you are according to them."
"Wow dad, thanks." Phoebe sighed.
"You guys wouldn't put me in jail would you?" Max asked his mother.
" Well Max, if you commit a crime then you are going to have to get taken to jail by someone and actually Phoebe would probably be your hero match so she would have to do it." Barb sighed.
Nora walked down the stairs with and put him on Max's bed.
" Max I should have told you this long ago but it's not all fun and games when being a villain. Look how I turned out. One of the greatest villains and now I am a bunny rabbit." Colosso admitted and Max sat down beside his little fury friend.
" Your always the greatest villain in my eyes." Max said this and Colosso looked at him.
" Listen to yourself, your too kind to be a villain and being a hero is in your blood. Honestly. You were pretty awesome as a hero when you fought Phoebe even though you didn't really want to. Your too brave to be a villain too. Most of us villains are kind of cowardly. Max, your too heroic to be a villain. Any villain would have wanted the Green Ghoul to destroy your father but you wanted to capture him. That was a reason for why they didn't think you were a villain. Be a hero Max it fits you more than the title of A Villain." Colosso said this and Max looked at his dad.
" Ok, I admit I always wanted to be better than Phoebe but I want to keep my room! I still need a heros lair." Max sighed. "That's my terms of being a hero."
"Where is she going to sleep then?" Barb asked.
" Well, she could share my room." Phoebe suggested and everyone looked to her.
"No I want her separate from you kids, I don't know if this is a safe girl or not. She's obviously wanting to be a hero but I don't know what her powers are or what she is capable of. So,I don't want her rooming with any of you until I know her better. Nora would you be ok with sharing with Phoebe?"
"She can have my room." Billy offered. "And I could share with Max."
"Your so funny Billy. If I had to room with you my IQ would drop to a negative and I already struggle in school as it is." Max laughed and Billy frowned and looked sad.
"I just want to spend time with you. What's so wrong about that?" Billy asked trying not to be offended.
" I would rather have the anti hero league laugh at me to my face than to room with you." Max joked and Billy stood up as tears filled his eyes.
" You were never a villain you were just a jerk!" Billy shouted and then ran up the stairs crying. Max looked like he regretted it.
" Billy!" Max shouted after his brother and then he looked at his dad. "I am a jerk aren't i? Ok, so I guess I'm rooming with Billy now. She's got Billy's room now. I will go get him." Max sighed and he walked up the stairs. Hank turned to his wife.
"I knew he was a hero."Hank sighed happily.
Max walked into the living room and saw Billy crying on the couch. He sat down beside him.
" I don't remember giving you an invitation to sit down."Billy said as he sniffled.
"Look Billy, I am adjusting to all of this hero stuff and it's hard and so I am a little cranky and I apologize for that. If you want I would be happy to share my lair with you." Max sighed and Billy smiled at his older brother.
" Alright." Billy sighed as their parents and Phoebe walked up the stairs. The computer rose and alarmed the family.
"Warning. A man and a girl are approaching the house." The computer said.
" That must be her." Hank said slightly excited as he walked over to the door and there was a knock.
" Everyone look nice." Barb said as she adjusted her blouse. Hank opened the door to reveal a man with a girl who had wavy brown hair and blue eyes. She was very pretty and when Max saw her his heart stopped.
"Hi, I'm Hank Thunderman this is my wife Barb and my two sons Billy and Max, and my daughters Nora Phoebe and Chloe." Hank introduced everyone.
" Hi, I'm Alex Maximian."the girl replied . Max stood up and walked over to her and held his hand out.
"I'm Max."he said and she shook his hand.
" Nice to meet you."Alex replied. Phoebe walked over and held her hand out.
"I'm Phoebe."she said and Alex shook her hand.
"Hi." Alex answered and then the computer came up again but had a face on it.
"Alright Thundermans we need to talk about Housing Alexandra Maximian." It was the president of the hero league.
"I'm already here." Alex said as she walked forward.
" Oh, well, we still need to talk." The woman sighed and everyone sat down in the living room except for Alex. "Ok, so as you are aware there are many villains who are interestedu in taking you down. They all see you as a threat. All of the Thundermans could possibly be in danger. Some of the most dangerous villains are looking for you. So you are going to have to live on the down low Alexandra. Be careful."
"Yes, now I have a secret identity, but I still don't know what it is."Alex replied.
"Yes, we need to decide on that. Thunder Man, Electress what do you think?" The woman asked.
"Well she could be a Thunderman." Electress suggested and Max immediately reacted to that.
" No we don't want to do that." Max said and the woman looked at him.
"You must be Maximus Thunderman. Yeah, you are in the top 2 heros to watch. So tell me Maximus, why shouldn't she be a Thunderman?" The woman asked and Max thought for a moment.
"Because if she is a Thunderman then things will look suspicious. I have only had two sisters who succeed the age of 5 for my whole life, and suddenly another sister comes along. Don't you think the villains would pick up on that?" Max had winged it. The woman looked satisfied.
" Maybe you should be the number one hero to watch Max. Alright, what do you think we should call her?" The woman asked Max.
" Why don't we ask her?" Max asked and Alex smiled.
" Alright, Alexandra, what do you want to be called?" The woman asked.
" What about Alexa Potters?" Alex suggested and the woman nodded.
"You got it kid. Alright, now, Thunder Man, we are counting on you for this one." She said this and then the computer went down again. They all looked at Alex.
"Ok so your room is not ready yet, but uh, Billy can take care of most of that pretty quickly." Hank said."Billy go take care of all of your light weight stuff and I will get your bed. Max go make room for Billy's bed."
"Oh let me help. It's the least I can do." Alex said.
" You can help me." Max said and Billy ran off and started to move his stuff down stairs. Max and Alex walked over to the slide. "We are going to have to slide down there, Billy is using the stairs." Max said and then he slid down his slide and Alex sat down and slid down after him. They landed on his bed and her mouth dropped.
"You like villains?" Alex asked confused.
" Well up to today I wanted to be a villain because my sister and I have the same powers and she has always been better than me, but my prospects have changed today. After years of wanting to be a villain they just pointed out to me that one of them would have been forced to put me in jail. They said it would more than likely be Phoebe too. I just never saw it that way, and I guess my dad was right. It was just a phase." Max sighed and Alex slightly smiled with sympathy.
"yeah, being a villain isnt always great." Alex admitted. Then Colosso popped up between them.
"Look how good you turned out! I knew you when you were a baby!" Colosso said and Alex jumped two feet in the air.
"Oh my God! You can talk!" Alex shouted.
" Alex this is ."Max introduced his friend.
"Wow, so this is where you have been for soo many years. Well, can't say that you are any more lucky than Max is at ever becoming a great villain. The anti hero league banned both of you from the List of best villains." Alex sighed as she sat on Max's bed.
"Yeah, I heard about that." Max sighed as he couldn't help but feel sad.
"You know this room is seriously cool. I wish I could live here." Alex sighed.
" Yeah, it's pretty great. I may as well take down all of my posters. A new chapter in my life is beginning. Maximus Octavius Thunderman is now longer a villain." Max said as he tore down a bunch of his posters.
"Just curious, why do you hate your sister so much?" Alex asked.
" I don't hate my sister. I just, she's just, always better than I am and now, I am better in the eyes of the Hero league and it's just weird. I'm sure it's killing Phoebe, but maybe I am supposed to be a hero." Max admitted as he looked at his poster and then crumbled it up. Every few seconds Billy would bring something Else into the room. Max pulled a bunch of his tables away and put them into a corner to make space for Billy's bed. He eventually made enough room just to fit Billy's bed in the room. That's when his father walked downstairs carrying two mattresses and he sat the mattresses down, one on top of the other,in the space Max had made.
" Alright, now Alex, I am going to go and put your room together." Hank sighed and Alex nodded. Hank looked from Alex to Max while Billy brought down his last belonging. He had made a pile of stuff in a corner. "You guys getting to know each other?" Hank asked.
" Yeah, your son seems to be a good guy." Alex said as Phoebe stomped down the stairs with her arms crossed.
"Wait till you really get to know him, you'll hate his guts." Phoebe said frustratedly and everyone looked at her surprised.
" You just said the h word Phoebe!" Billy shouted.
" Are you feeling ok sweetie?" Hank asked.
"Yeah, it's not like everything I have worked towards was just ripped right out from under me or anything," Phoebe said sarcastically. " Never the less from my villain wanna be brother."
" Hey! My work was just ripped right out from under me too! At least you were not banned from the hero league, I was banned from the anti hero league!"Max defended himself.
"Well we can't both be heros! We have the same powers! If one of us beats the other then that other one won't be a hero! It's not fair! You have always been a fake villain and I have always worked as a hero and they think that you are a better hero than I am!" Phoebe shouted.
" Well you were so in love with that guy that you took off the demonite! No real hero would put themselves in that kind of danger!" Max snapped back.
" Oh so it was my fault!?" Phoebe yelled.
" Phoebe I was put in a situation where I had to fight you and when you told me to turn against dad I didn't do it! You just let yourself get posessed and I came up with the idea of doing a double freeze breath and you were almost too chicken to do it until I encouraged you! By that evidence who is the better hero?!" Max realized the whole point he had just made and he quickly figured out that he had never meant to be a villain, he was just acting like the teenage older brother. He wasn't evil. He never was.
"You know what!" Phoebe yelled and she froze Max's body so quickly that he didn't even see it coming.
"Phoebe!" Hank shouted.
" Maybe I'm the one who is the villain. And I am not unfreezing him!" Phoebe shouted back. Then within the ice Max shot out his fire breath and unfroze himself. Max looked at his sister in betrayal.
" I have never used my powers against you Phoebe!" Max yelled and then Pheobe smiled in a way that was disturbing.
" You know what. That was kind of fun." Phoebe said as she grinned.
" I would know that smile anywhere. Maybe you ARE the one who is supposed to be the villain." Max said as the realization hit him. Their worlds were flipped and now they were in the right place. Phoebe was the evil twin not Max, it just took them a while to realize it.
(Commercial)
Dr Colosso started to laugh hard and Phoebe smiled and froze him.
" !" Max shouted sadly and he put out heat breath and defrosted him. The rabbit shivered and Max ran over and put a small blanket on him. Hank stepped in front of Phoebe.
" Phoebe stop it!" Hank demanded.
" Why should I, now that I see how fun it is to use my powers against Max, I know how easy it would be to be a villain and defeat Max every time. He wouldn't even have the chance to put me in jail. Now it's time to put my name on the map for being a villain." Phoebe said and she went to freeze Alex and Alex put a shield up.
" You may be able to beat Max, but you don't even know what kind of Powers I have! Being a shield is only the tip of the Iceburg!" Alex shouted and then she sent a wave of wind and Phoebe fell against the wall and Phoebe passed out. Hank kneeled down beside his daughter, and then a red smoke came out of her body like she was steaming. Suddenly Barb ran down the stairs to see what was going on. The red smoke formed into a man. Phoebe woke up clueless.
" Ok the last thing I remember was walking over to Cherrys house to talk to her." Phoebe said like she was completely breathless. The man was tall and resembled Alex.
" Hello Alex, what an awful surprise right?" He sounded like a teenager.
" Look Jason you can't tell dad where I am at. And don't possess Phoebe!" Alex yelled casually.
" Sis you know I just kid all of the time. Anyways, dad sent me to look for you here, and I plan on telling him that you aren't in this town ok. Just remember, you always have me on the inside. You know I keep an eye on my little sis." The guy said and then Hank turned him around.
"Look, you can't come here again! You will blow her cover. But if you do feel like dropping by do not possess one of my kids or my wife or even me, just knock." Hank said and the guy nodded.
" alright, I must be off. See you later." Jason laughed and then he disappeared. Alex walked over to Phoebe.
" Sorry about that. He enjoys pulling pranks. Even if their messed up." Alex apologized.
" I love your brother." Max laughed.
" Hello?! What just happened?!" Barb shouted.
" not important but anyways, Phoebe. How do you feel about your brothers placing on the heros list?" Hank wanted to be sure that she wasn't hurt.
" I mean, it's not exactly fair that he hasn't done anything and he gets a higher placing than I do, but I guess I'm kind of proud that he is manning up and taking on the duty of being a hero." Phoebe answered with a slight smile. Max couldn't help but smile at this.
" Alright then back to Alex's room." Hank sighed.
( transitions to Hank bringing Alex into her new room with the whole family behind them) Alex's new room had rocket wall paper and red floors and no bed frame.
" This is the best we can do now. You can redecorate and get a bed frame. But," Hank started but Alex smiled and walked forward.
" It's wonderful Thankyou. I've never really had one." Alex started.
" What a bed?" Hank asked jokingly as Alex put her hand against the wall.
"no, a room." Alex sighed and everyone looked baffled.
" you mean a room to yourself right?" Barb asked and Alex looked at them.
" No, I have always slept on the couch or floor. My parents got the bedroom and used the other fifteen rooms as game rooms and work out rooms and that kind of stuff. My brother and I slept on the couch until they sold the couch to buy a chandelier and then we slept on the floor." Alex replied and the mood changed.
"It's perfect the way it is." Alex said as she looked around. Max couldn't believe how evil her parents were. It really took a tole on him at that moment. He started to cry silently. Then Phoebe noticed.
" Max are you crying?" Phoebe asked and everyone looked at him.
" Aw honey." Barb said and she put her arms around him and hugged him.
" how could I want to be a villain, their such awful people" Max cried. Alex turned around and walked over to Max. Max immediately backed away and rubbed his eyes.
" I wasn't crying." Max said cooly.
" Max,no villain would have the heart to cry like you just did. I'm a complete stranger and your crying for me. Max that's the heart of a hero, not a villain. You're a great guy Max. Embrace it. You can still prank people every once in a while. That's what teens do. It's just fun and games, but when it comes down to it, you can still be the one who saves the world. Max every boy likes pranking people, it's normal, but that doesn't make them a villain and that's what you do."
Alex sighed.
" how do you know so much about me?" Max asked.
" Well the hero league informed me about all of you guys. I must say, some of your
Pranks are like totally awesome. But your sister, when she got you to wear a hula skirt and a shell braw to school, oh my god I was laughing on the floor. You got everyone in the hero league laughing, and they were not laughing because they took you as a joke, they were laughing because your so strategic Max, and your a freaking genius." Alex laughed and this made Max smile. Alex put her hands on His shoulder. "Max I truly believe that you could be an incredible hero, and so does the hero league and that is saying something. The only reason they are looking at me more than you is because I had the guts to leave the greatest villain of all time that still is free. Honestly I think our names should be switched."
" stop that your gonna make me blush and Maximus Thunderman never blushes." Max said as he smiled slightly.
"Since when do you go by Maximus?" Phoebe asked.
" I don't, but It sounds more hero-like." Max replied and Hank just shook his head.
Alex looked around the room again and frowned.
" It's a shame I have nothing to go in this room." Alex sighed and then everyone looked at her again.
" What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.
" Well, when my parents found out that I wanted to be a hero my mother held my body down as my father threw all of my clothes and belongings in the fire pit and they set it all on fire, and so all of my stuff is destroyed. I literally have nothing." Alex sighed as a tear fell down her cheek.
" So when are you moving your stuff in?" Billy asked cluelessly and Alex looked at him confused and then looked at Max.
" Just don't even listen to him." Max sighed.
"I have to take you shopping then." Phoebe said excitedly.
" Me too." Barb said equally as excited.
"Alright." Alex said with a slight smile. For some reason Max felt like hugging her, but he didn't know why so he refrained from doing so.
(Transitions to the store) Phoebe, Barb, and Alex were going through the clothes at the store.
" So Alexa, did you have any friends were you lived?" Barb asked while keeping Alex's identity secret.
"I did, but they were all villains, and they have since shunned me. Being a hero in a villain environment is kind of difficult. Everyone kind of hates you. I'm actually glad that I left." Alex sighed. " Especially since you guys are such an incredible family. I really appreciate you guys taking me in."
" You do realize that my son is totally head over heals for you right?" Barb asked.
" Yeah. I don't understand why, but it's kind of nice, since my last boyfriend was a bewitcher and kept controlling me to try to make me do what he wanted me to do. That's when I discovered that I had a shield. Well, I still have a shield actually. You know, there's something about your son that is just beautiful. It's like he has such a warm heart that is doing everything in it's power to hide from everyone around him. I don't understand that but it's what he does. I really think he could be a great hero someday, and i wish the hero league would give him the Recognition he deserves. I also think that even Phoebe should be in front of me. If I hadn't changed into a hero your son would be number one on the list and Phoebe would be number two. I just don't think it's fair." Alex admitted.
" You know what, I really don't mind that Max is above me honestly. I think it's great that he dropped the whole villain act. I was kind of scared that in the long run I would have to put my own brother in jail. There are times when I kind of get scared that he is going to turn on us, but then you came along, and I think it was really your story that is going to turn him into a true hero. Who knows, maybe he will even be a better hero than I am." Phoebe sighed.
" You know the hero league thinks that you two work best together and they actually hope to have two heroes working together instead of a hero and a sidekick."Alex informed Phoebe and Phoebe smiled.
" Really. Well, that's interesting." Phoebe was slightly hopeful now.
" in fact they said that if they award Max as a hero then they will do the same for you." Alex added and this made Phoebe hope for the best.
(Transition to Max sitting on the couch and Hank walks over and sits in front of him.)
"Max, I want you to be honest with me ok?" Hank asked and Max nodded. "Do you like Alex?"
"Yeah shes a great girl, and I cant wait to be friends with her." Max replied.
"Max, be honest with me. I don't mean as a friend, and you know exactly what I mean." Hank insisted and Max looked at his father with frustration.
"Look, I feel like I am meant to be a hero,and for some reason I feel that I want to be a hero because of Alex. Sure the president of the hero league says that I am going to be a great hero. There was a time when I over heard you and mom talking when you guys were not retired and you said that a hero must love his family and treat every person in the town with that same love. Yes, I am falling in love with Alex, but im afraid that the love that I have isn't the love of a hero, and I don't think that it will ever be enough for Alex and especially not for the city. Dad I don't think I am good enough to do this. Then there is this love that Alex is giving out. She had such a difficult life as she grew up and now she is turning against her parents to be a hero, and her parents are threatening her. Dad, she has been through so much and she probably cares so much more about this town than anyone. I haven't been through difficult times, and so I cant possibly understand how to defeat something evil. She knows how to do that, she did it without thinking twice, and I have actually thought about being a villain and being a hero. Dad, I don't know how to handle this feeling of love. I have never fallen in love with anyone and it's a new feeling for me, but then there is the responsibility of being a hero and carrying the family business, and I don't think I can do it." Max had risen to his feet and almost paced back and forth. "On one hand I think I can do it because my parents are Thunder Man and Electress, but then there is the other hand that is telling me that I am not as brave as you guys are, and when Phoebe got possessed by the Green Ghoul I honestly didn't want to fight her, but something inside me knew that if I didn't fight her then I would never get my sister back and so I did. It was almost by instinct that I reacted but still, I couldn't even fight Phoebe. She beat me and I nearly passed out because it hurt so bad."Max was now trying his best not to cry. "I didn't know what to do but I had to do something and so I went to you guys to warn you, and I was almost too late. The Green Ghoul nearly killed you. It wasn't a fair fight, he posesed Phoebe and you wouldn't hurt Phoebe and then I was forced to do something because you wouldn't and so I asked that guy ghost to help me out and he did, and then I got rid of that Green Ghoul but I couldn't even do it on my own. What does that mean? I mean, I couldn't even fight him on my own, I need help from others. I cant be a hero, I cant protect the city," Max had stopped and his eyes were flashing in all different directions, almost as if they were in a panic. " I cant protect Alex from all of those villains, I cant, I cant, I cant," Max said but then he got extremely dizzy. "I cant," Max started but then he fell backwards onto the couch.
"MAX!"Hank yelled and then he kneeled down beside his son and looked around. "BILLY! NORA!" Hank shouted and Nora ran downstairs while Billy kept trying to climb the slide but kept on falling down. Nora stopped at the slide.
"Go up the stairs genius!" Nora shouted.
"Oh! Good idea!" Billy shouted back.
"Nora! Call your mother!" Hank yelled and Nora saw her brother and froze. "Nora hurry!" Nora snapped out of it and did as she was told. She called her mother.
(Transition to the mall parking lot where Barb,Phoebe, and Alex were carrying their bags out to the car. The phone rings)
"Its Hank." Barb said and then she answered the phone. A second later she looked worried. "Hold on sweetie, sweetie slow down, honey I cant understand , what about Max? Honey SLOW down." Barb sighed and then Hank grabbed the phone.
"Barb! Max passed out and his breathing is very slow, I need you to meet us at the hospital." Hank said.
"What happened?" Barb asked worriedly.
"He was talking to me and he got overwhelmed and I think he may have overheated himself. I gotta get him to the hospital Barb, I love you, bye." Hank hung up and Barb looked to Phoebe and Alex.
"Max passed out, Hank thinks he overheated. Come on, we need to go to the hospital." Barb said as she opened a car door.
(transition to hospital)
Barb, Phoebe, and Alex ran into the waiting room to find Nora, Chloe, Billy, and Hank sitting together on the furniture. Hank was holding Chloe who was asleep and Nora was leaning onto Billys shoulder. Hank saw his wife.
"Hank what happened? Fill me in." Barb insisted as Phoebe and Alex grew closer.
"You two go and take Nora and Billy to get some food at the cafeteria." Hank told Phoebe and Alex and they did as they were told. The second they were well gone Hank motioned Barb to sit down. Before he could say anything the doctor walked out with a satisfied look on his face.
"How is he?" Hank asked and the doctor looked at Hank with a smile.
"He is doing great, we put some anti-heat medication in his system and so he should be pretty good for the next day. He should be calmed down by then and the medicine will no longer be needed, but I must warn you about this, Max cannot do this again. It nearly killed him this time, next time he wont be so lucky. By the way, there is no charge. The hero league has taken care of the charges. He would like to see you guys, especially a girl by the name of Alexa." The doctor sighed and then he walked away. Barb looked over to her husband who looked frustrated.
"I don't think she is good for Max." Hank revealed his thoughts and then Barb looked up at Hank like he was acting ridiculous.
"What makes you think that?" Barb asked.
"Barb he was talking to me about her and being a hero and the fact that the main reason he has really decided to be a hero was because of her, and he was about to tell me something else but he overheated and that's when he passed out. This is how he feels around her, and there is something about it that just feels wrong." Hank added.
"Hank, this is Max's decision. Hes a big boy, he can do this." Barb assured her husband and Hank stood up.
"He is in a hospital room Barb, I don't think he can handle this by himself!" Hank shouted as Phoebe, Alex, Nora, and Billy walked into the room.
"What cant Max handle?" Alex asked as she walked over to Hank.
"you, you stay back for a minute." Hank snapped at Alex and she looked surprised. "Barb, I don't think we should go forward with this situation." Hank told his wife and Barb looked at Alex.
"How did Max pass out?" Alex asked and the two parents looked at her.
"He was talking about you and being a hero." Hank answered her and she looked towards the ground.
"I guess you don't want me living with you anymore then?" Alex sighed as she tried not to cry.
"I just, I think…"Hank paused and then felt bad. "I think you should go in and see Max, he's asking for you. You will be staying with us, just go and talk to Max."
"Ok." Alex answered and she walked into Max's room to find him hooked up to an IV and he looked exhausted. Max looked up at Alex and smiled.
"Hey. I wanted to talk to you about something." Max sighed and Alex sat down beside him. "OK, so I have done a lot of thinking about this whole hero thing, and I have had a lot of changes within the last few hours and so you can imagine how different life is for me right now, but even though I am so unsure about many things right now, there is one thing that is clear to me. I want to date you." Max said as he grabbed Alex's hands.
