The city of Townsville-
*An explosion sounds off in the distance.
-is in serious, serious, serious trouble.
A look closer and anyone could see that a daring robbery was taking place at Townsville's local bank. Bits of fire flicker from the newly made entrance of the building as three thugs wearing black ski masks came running out. In their grasps are bags of money that they have stolen.
Day after day, crime, lawlessness, and evil are running rampant. Its citizens have lost all hope!
A skinny robber pulls out a phone and quickly starts dialing a number before answering.
"Alright! We have the money! Bring the getaway car!"
As right on cue, an armored truck comes speeding out of a nearby alleyway and stops in front of the escaping criminals. The side window of the truck opens to reveal another masked assailant, who is also the driver.
"Get in! Get in! The cops will be here soon!" The crook shouted.
"Oh, don't worry about it." A fat robber smirked as he and his two buddies get in the truck. "Those damn cops can never catch us."
An average size robber gets in laughing. "True that!"
With that said, the escaping criminals race down the street in the dark night.
They are utterly helpless and in desperate need of a true hero!
Unbeknownst to the robbers, there was an hidden individual standing on top of a roof a building looking down at the scene. They chuckle softly before jumping of said building and went flying towards the fleeing truck as a bright streak of white light follows behind.
But who? Is there no one who can help this forsaken town and make it a better place?
The driver of the truck continues to focus on the road as his accomplices started counted their loot in the back, convinced that they won. However, just as they thought they were in the clear, the whole crew jerked as they came to a sudden stop. They fell onto each other as they hit the walls of the truck.
"Hey! What the hell was that?!" Skinny shouted as they untangle themselves.
"I don't know! We're not going anywhere!" The driver replied.
"What do you mean, 'not going anywhere!'!?"
"Just as I said! Look!"
The driver pushes down the pedal and the engine roars louder. Though, from the front view window, they can see that they were not moving an inch.
"What the hell is going?!" Skinny yells.
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know that."
The crew were slightly started by a new voice. Though, before they could process of what's going on, the whole 2 ton truck was suddenly lifted up and turned upright. It resulted in getting making the robbers falling out of their escape vehicle, including the driver. Their used to be loot also started raining down as many bills scattered onto the street around them.
"Ugh... what just happened?" Fatty asks as each of them get up.
*Thud
The crooks were once again startled as the loud noise sounded off. The look ahead to see their truck was resting just a few feet away from them. However, there was person leaning against the metal ride with their arms crossed. Even though there weren't any street lamps nearby to shine onto the mystery person, they could still make out some details.
'Who is that?' They all thought.
From the sound of the mystery figure's voice, they sounded male. Probably close to that of a teenager. Though, he looks like a freaking 12 year old! He is wearing a long-sleeve shirt with a tie wrapped around their neck. The boy also wore black pants with some fancy work shoes. On top of his head is a grey fedora.
Fear not, fair viewers. For there is a man, no, a boy that has come to save day. Or night in this case.
"Who the hell are you?" The average sized crook, who is also the leader, demanded.
The boy chuckles as he straightens himself.
"That's not important right now. Though, I'm curious to know why you gentlemen such as yourselves are making a withdraw at this time of night."
The leader gritted his teeth as he and his partners pulled out their guns and aim at the annoying boy.
"That is none of your business, kid." They clicked their weapons. "Now, why don't you run along back to your mommy and daddy before you have a bad time."
The boy just shake his head and takes a step forward, making the robbers tense up.
"You know, that's funny. I was going to say the same thing."
Before any of the men could do anything, the boy launched forward and punches the leader straight in the face. The man was sent flying as he slides onto the street. Reacting quickly, fatty aims and pulls the trigger of his gun. Though, the bullet hit nothing but air as the boy dodges and gives a roundhouse in return. Fatty staggers back before falling to the ground out cold. Skinny and driver started rapidly firing at the boy in hopes of hitting him, but the boy was too fast for them to keep up as he comes up to them and smashes their heads together. The last two robbers crumble to the ground as they drop their guns.
The boy looks at his work proudly as he picks up all the scattered dollar bills and putting them in the now abandoned truck. Just in time too as he hears police cruisers coming his way. He flies up and leaves the scene as a white streak of light trails behind him. The policemen look from the fallen criminals to the fleeing mystery person. They can see him disappearing off into the distance. They all had one thing on their mind.
'Who was that?'
Toby was really excited as he flies out of Townsville and back to this neighborhood. He stopped his very first crime on and did it on his first try! His blood was still pumping fast from the adrenaline. Those close calls with the shooting and the bullets flying still had him shaking in excitement and a bit of fear. He never felt so alive and so proud with his new accomplishment. Toby couldn't wait until next time!
"Next time..." Toby muttered to himself.
Now that he thought about it, would there even be a next time? To be honest, he wasn't sure, but he certainly hopes there would be. Right now, we wasn't even suppose to be out this late anyway. Especially going around fighting crime. He creator, also known as his dad, told him to not go around looking for trouble. Yet, here he was. Flying out late in the night as he was coming home from stopping a bank robbery.
"I just hope he is not awake."
Soon enough, Toby made it back to his home. It was large white modern square house. Though, in his opinion, it could use some extra windows on the top floor as it was completely blank. Anyway, Toby reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a set of keys. He unlocks the door and heads inside quietly.
"Alright, Toby, mission accomplish." He whispered as he slowly closes the door for the night.
*Click
The lights in the house suddenly turned on, startling the white and grey boy. He turns around to see a man in a lab coat. That man happens to be Toby's father and creator, Professor Utonium. He was currently standing near the kitchen doorway with his arms crossed. He had a disappointed look on his face.
"Had a nice walk, Toby?" The Professor asks. "What was this accomplishment you achieved?"
Toby's eyes shifted left and right. There was no way he could make a working excuse.
"Well?" The Professor presses.
Toby sighs as he submits.
"I was out... crime fighting, alright?"
The Professor's expression became even more crossed.
"Toby, what have I told you about sneaking out?"
"...To not to."
"That's right, and what did you do?"
Toby sighs irritably. "Professor, I don't get why you don't want me to fight the bad guys. I'm good at it."
"You only stopped ONE crime and you were lucky. You won't be the next time."
"So there will be a next time?"
"Nope. Not for a very long time."
Toby's eyes widen in shock before angrily at his father.
"You can't keep me away from this forever! Isn't this what you made me for?!"
"That's only half the reason!" The Professor raises his voice. "The other is to have a son of my own to care for. You are not ready to go fight evil yet. There is still many things you need to learn. Especially learning how to control your powers."
Toby looks down at this hands. He hates to admit it, but he does sometimes struggle a little with his abilities. His flying, strength, and speed is pretty good, but the rest was still a working progress.
"Yeah..." Toby said softly.
The Professor soften as he sighs. He puts a hand on his son's shoulder.
"Toby, you need to understand that I'm just looking out for you. I don't know what I would do if something bad would of happened to you. I know that you will be a great hero one day, but you have to be patient. Besides, you know that the citizens of Townsville is not ready to meet someone as special as you."
Toby nodded. He was aware that people around here don't really look up to anything that is not normal. Especially when you have villains and monsters running around in a rampage. Every time he would leave the house, he had to play normal. By normal, he means don't use his powers in public. That only just makes him feel more of an outsider that doesn't belong at times.
"Yes, Professor." Toby said as he starts heading to his room upstairs.
"Toby."
The boy stops midway up as he turns to his creator.
"Even though you went ahead and did something I told you not to do, I'm just glad you're okay."
Toby grins a little.
"Thanks, dad."
With that, the boy makes his way upstairs and into his room. The Professor on the other hand sighs as he rubs his face. He fully knows that it will be in a matter of time until his son would do something like this again in the future without his okay. Sure, he does have a simulator down in his lab for Toby to train in, but he know that his son wants ACTUAL danger instead of computer generated ones. He had a fighting spirit in him that is begging to come out. Not to mention, his heart was in the right place. Toby want to go into the world and stop evil in its track.
"Oh, there must be something I could do for this situation."
The Professor need some sort of distraction for Toby. Something to keep him occupied and company.
"Wait, that's it!"
The Professor made his way to the hallway and went to a door that leads to the basement. Which happens to be his laboratory where he conducts all of his scientific inventions and breakthroughs. He goes up to a white board and starts writing. Soon, he had his plan all drawn up and listed out.
"Just you wait, Toby." The Professor smiled. "I have something that will definitely make you feel better."
