I looked out at the control room. People ran from station to station, reporting findings and what not. After being lectured by the doctor, it was clear that I was fine since I was gallivanting through the halls, so I was finally aloud to be part of the real world. If you would consider this situation real. Well, if you were the Black Widow or an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., sure, this was real. But for me, Lovino Vargas, I had been officially shipped off to the lunatic asylum.
"Lovino! Pay attention!" The doctor yelled.
"I am!" I replied.
"Where are we?"
"Area 51."
I internally laughed at my joke.
"No, this is Area 48. There is a difference."
"Well excuse me."
I rolled my eyes as the doctor continued.
"Recently we have managed to survive the invasion of the Pictonians, but they withdrew. If they had been serious about conquering us, we would have surely been conquered. Which means we need a new line of defense. That's where you come in, Antonio. I want you to make a team a superheroes, starting with Lovino. His grandfather already consented."
"Of course he fucking did. That little asshole." I said.
"It's not all bad Lovi. You get to hang out with me!" Antonio said.
"That's supposed to make it all better?"
"Yeah!"
Antonio smiled and I quickly looked away.
"So I'll leave it to you two! Have fun!" The doctor said as left the room, closing the door just before I threw a fire ball.
"Damn, he got away." I said.
"Lovi, that's not nice." Antonio pouted.
"Do I look like a nice person?"
"I don't know, but your pretty cute!"
I blushed and burst into flames, slightly burning Antonio in the process, but I didn't want to hurt him too bad.
"You're an asshole." I said.
Antonio pouted.
"Well, do you happen to know any superheroes?" Antonio asked after a period of silence.
"Like hell- wait, I just might. Let me make a call." I said as I walked over to the phone on the wall.
If I was right, she could do some pretty freaky stuff. I dialed the number quickly.
"Hello?" Came a voice on the other end.
"Elizabeta?"
"Yeah?"
"Hey, this is Lovino."
"Lovino! It's been a while. Why the call?"
"Um, can you still do the weird see through thingy?"
"You mean turn invisible?"
"Yeah! That! So, this is going to sound weird but just stay at your house I will be there in a bit. I need to talk to you."
I hung up and nodded to Antonio.
"So we have to go to her house." He said.
"Yep."
"Okay, let's go."
...
"Lovino!" Elizabeta exclaimed.
She was a brunette with light green eyes and pale skin. She appeared light, like a breeze could blow her over, but she was quite the opposite.
"Hey, yeah so, this is Antonio." I said as I gestured to the idiot beside me.
He smiled and waved.
"Hola señorita!" He said.
"So why are you here?" She asked.
"We want you to be a superhero!" Antonio replied.
"What? Like legit?"
"Legit."
"Yeah! Let's do it!"
"Wait, seriously?" I asked.
"Yeah!" She replied.
"That was too easy."
"Wait, Lovino what can you do? I thought you didn't have powers, at least not when we were kids."
I held up my hand and ignited the fire.
"Whoa." Elizabeta said.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Well what are we waiting for! Let's go be superheroes!" Elizabeta exclaimed.
...
"We need one more person" Antonio said once we had gotten back to Area 48.
Elizabeta was busy examining every part of the building.
"Don't look at me, I don't know every person with a weird power." I said.
"Guys, why don't we use the internet!" Elizabeta said.
...
I laid my head down on the key board. Searching for a superhero via internet was harder than it looked. A lot of it was fake.
"Hey guys, look at this. He seems legit." Antonio said.
I rolled my chair over to his computer and rested my head on his shoulder, not thinking about what I was doing. On his screen was a video of a guy single handedly destroying pictonians. It looked like dark magic, but that usually required an incantation and he wasn't using one. Dark stuff just flowed from his hands and controlled pictonians and other objects.
"We should ask him." Elizabeta said.
"No dip Sherlock." I retorted.
"I think I can get him here by tomorrow." Antonio said.
"How?" I asked.
"I have my ways." Antonio smiled before leaving the room.
I just shrugged my shoulders at Elizabeta's inquiring look.
