Chapter 2 – Superhero

"What the hell is happening?" Chad yelled, waving his now-blue hand in front of the doctor's face.

"I don't know…" The doctor stuttered, without any sort of explanation as to what was going on. He watched as the angry celebrity picked up a pen and crushed it, looking confused.

"Okay, that shouldn't happen!" Chad said, looking in shock at his hand. Super strength?

"You think?" The doctor responded with a sigh. The things he had to put up with…!

"What am I supposed to do about this?" Chad yelled, glaring at the confused doctor.

"Go to a scientist. That might help." Chad gave him one last death-glare and left the room, heading out to the street.

"Told you you'd regret it," A voice said suddenly, startling him. He looked up, to see the elderly man from before, smiling. He slowly walked away, disappearing into the distance, leaving a very confused Chad alone.

"Damn!" Chad shouted, as the blue, inching slowly up his arm, turned to a greyish silver colour. What was happening? And there wasn't even anybody around to help him, or explain what was happening. Whatever it was, it felt cold against his skin, and he couldn't help but worry. What if it was something that could kill him? What if it did? How would the world live without the greatest actor of this generation?

"What the hell is happening?" Chad yelled, in shock at his colour-changing hand. Sure, it matched his eyes, but it was just plain weird.

"Chad Dylan Cooper," a deep voice growled nearby.

"What?" Chad asked, turning in the direction of the voice, momentarily distracted from the weird feeling in his arm as the strange substance spread.

"You seem to have fallen right into my trap," the voice said, "By the way, you're a superhero."

"I'm a what?!" Chad asked, shocked.

"You. Are. A. Super. Hero." The voice repeated, at a slower pace.

"And who are you?" he asked, still very confused at the whole situation.

"You must not know that. But you are the chosen one," the voice replied, in a low growl. Chad chuckled loudly.

"Okay, joke's over, Randoms. I know you guys are just trying to prank me - well, guess what? It's not working," he said, looking around, hoping for the Randoms to jump out from behind the trees or something. He waited, but no-one appeared. Suddenly, the voice sighed.

"And I had to pick an idiot." It said to itself.

"Hey, I'm not an idiot!" Chad said firmly.

"Sure, sure, whatever. Just, go save the world or something!" The voice growled, frustrated, and didn't speak again, leaving Chad even more confused than he already was.

It had been half an hour since Chad had found out what was happening, and he was still trying to get to grips with the idea that he was an actual superhero. His view of superheroes wasn't the best one – he'd always thought they were just weird dudes on TV and movies, in Lycra jumpsuits and underwear gone wrong, who had nothing better to do with their lives. That had always been his basic opinion of them. He then realised his car was replaced by a blue something on wheels. It was like a remixed Batmobile that matched the superhero suit that had attacked him from the orb, which was currently 'deactivated' and settled with glowing on his wrist. And he was confused; more confused than he'd ever been, and ever would be.

"Must I explain everything?" The mysterious voice asked suddenly, startling Chad. He thought he was alone in the clearing – he was wrong.

"Yeah," he said simply. This was all too much for one day. As if Sonny breaking up with him wasn't already giving him enough stress, this superhero thing had to come along and shock him even more.

"Get in the vehicle and leave!" The voice yelled. Chad was afraid. And that was something big, considering the fact that he was usually brave, and never feared anything. He suddenly knew exactly what to do and where to go. He sat in the strange vehicle, and started to drive – he had a plan in mind.

I know that was extremely short, and you all deserve more, having waited so long, but I've been busy and going through writer's block with this! So, more is soon to come, I hope!

Peace and reviews! :)
