Max walked into the jewelry store as a he coughed a little and he felt someone kick him to the ground and he flew into the air, looked where the guy was and teleported behind him and kicked him to the ground. A guy started running towards Max and Max used his teleportation and teleported behind him and kicked him so he fell on top of the other guy and then the third pulled out something Max didn't expect. Max heard a gun shot and then he turned to see everything in slow motion and he dodged the bullet and then teleported behind the guy and kicked him and the guy fell into the pile of the other two guys and Max went over and cuffed them and then froze their cuffs together, grabbed them and teleported to the police station and dropped them off and the police man looked to him.

"Well aren't you just a busy man today Thunder Man?" The man asked.

"Well I guess you could say that I," Max stopped mid sentence as the police officer put the guys in a cell and locked them in. "Wait did you just call me Thunder MAN?" Max asked and the guy turned back to him.

"Well yeah, that's what everyone in Metroburg is calling you." The man explained and Max nodded. "You better get out of here before the press shows up Thunder Man." Max teleported to the hospital to find a huge amount of press crowding around the hospital and he looked shocked and then someone saw him.

"IT'S THUNDER MAN!" The woman shouted and the press turned to Max and crowded him. He couldn't teleport away. He would seem rude.

"I Uh, I'll take one question at a time, and you each can have 1 question a piece!" Max yelled over everyone and everyone got quiet and raised their hands and Max started with the girl closest to him.

"Yes Thunder Man, how do you feel about being given the same name as Metroburgs most cherished protector?" The woman asked.

"Um, I actually just found out about five seconds ago, and I'm not too sure about it. I mean, Thunder Man is my father, and so I guess it's only fitting that the name be passed down and since my sister can't exactly be called Thunder MAN because shes, well, a Woman, I guess it was bound to come down to me. I don't really know how he feels about it since I haven't gotten the chance to talk to him about it though. I think it's kind of amazing that the city of Metroburg feels that I'm living up to my fathers expectations of course." Max answered and he moved on to the guy beside her.

"Yes, Thunder Man, We came across the information that you were a villain before being a hero. What is that about?" The man asked and Max thought about it for a second.

"Well, the truth to that is that I WANTED to be a villain because basically my mom and dad favored my sister over me, and I never really thought I could be a better hero than her and since no one really was TRYING to get me to be a hero, I decided to be a villain, but the problem was that every time I tried to do something horrible, I couldn't go through with it, or if I actually went through with it I had to fix it because I felt awful about it. I've always been too kind hearted to be a villain. So for everyone who ever had any issues with me when I was a villain, I would like to apologize to you for being like that. I guess I was kind of lost, but then I met my girlfriend and things started changing. She was really the only one who ever cared about me, and she was the only one who tried to get me to act like a hero even though she didn't realize how much she was impacted me." Max explained. There was a moment of silence and then people started raising their hands again. Max pointed to the next person.

"Yes Thunder Man, so you say that your mom, dad, and older sister never really acted like family to you, what about the rest of your family?" The man asked.

"That's actually not true. They weren't very supportive of me, and at times they didn't act very family like, but they had their moments when they acted like my family, and my younger brother and sisters are actually a little young to hold anything against them. But like my twin sister and my mom and dad, they had their really good moments but also had their less good moments." Max replied and then he moved on to the next woman.

"Hi Thunder Man, since your girlfriend has been so supportive of you, do you think there's a chance of you guys getting married soon, and having kids?" The woman asked and Max froze and then he thought about it.

"Oh come on Angela, he's a teenager." One of the other men snapped.

"Well, he's also a highly mature teenager. He saved 123 lives today and over 1500 artifacts, he's obviously much more mature than anyone his age, so maybe he IS thinking about settling down." The woman named Angela snapped back and everyone agreed with her and stared at Max, waiting for an answer.

"Well, um, nothings official at all, but I love Allison a lot, she means everything to me, and yes, I could see us possibly getting married in the nearby future, but only if she is ready. Now when it comes to having kids, since she human, it's actually a really risky thing to do and so we need to figure out the details to take the correct precautions, but I don't think that we will be having kids any time soon, mainly because if we have kids I can't really protect Metroburg, because if we have kids I'm not going to miss out on their lives and force Allison to be the mom AND the dad. It wouldn't be fair." Max gave an honorable answer and everyone was actually kind of impressed by it and then Max pointed to the next person.

"Thunder Man, you are the talk of Metroburg, and the fact that you are giving us all answers is very interesting. Your 17 and you should have a normal teenage life, but you don't, you are responsible for thousands of people, and you have to fight for your life sometimes, are you scared that you're not going to be able to handle it in the long run?" The woman asked.

"Um, actually right now, I need to get seen by a doctor because I inhaled soo much ash, but im standing here speaking with you. I was in no health to go and stop those three robbers that I stopped but I did it flawlessly. I think I'll be just fine." Max answered.

"Hi Mr. Thunder Man Sir," It was a younger boy who was next and Max couldn't help but smile. "Im writing for my school paper and I was wondering if I could ask you three really simple questions instead of one really hard one." The boy said and Max got down on one knee and was level to his height.

"What school you go to?" Max asked.

"Hiddenville elementary school sir. I kinda wish I could be friends with Billy, but im kinda nerdy so I don't know if he would even like me, but I was hoping you would answer my questions even though you said one question per person." The boy sighed.

"Sure, whats your name?" Max asked.

"um Jacob." The boy replied and he looked up from his paper and saw Max and slightly smiled.

"Go ahead and ask your three questions little man." Max sighed.

"Whats your favorite color?" Jacob asked.

"Blue. Preferably Thunder Man Blue." Max replied.

"Ok, what do you like to do in your spare time?" Jacob asked another question.

"I typically practice with my band, or I spend time with my girlfriend, but of course now I think I will probably be spending a lot of time with my family as well." Max answered.

"And this ones kinda harder, if you could go back in time and tell a ten year old version of yourself something, what would it be?" Jacob asked his final question and Max knew the answer right away.

"I would tell him that being a hero isn't a competition because the fame and the glory shouldn't matter. Getting a fancy cape shouldn't matter. Having people idolize you and wear tshirts with you on it shouldn't matter." Max sighed and Jacob looked to him in confusion.

"If none of that matters then what DOES matter Thunder Man sir?" Jacob asked.

"Protecting those who have absolutely no chance against evil, even though you don't even know them, because that's what being a hero is all about. Defending the innocent." Max answered and there was a very long moment of silence and Jacob had a new question.

"Mr Thunder Man Sir, off the record, your sister is always kinda showing off and it seems like the only thing that matters to her is the cape and the fans. So if that's what heroes care about nowadays, then what took you so long to come and point it out? You're clearly a better hero because you actually understand what a hero is, so why were you so scared to be a hero?" Jacob asked and Max got tears in his eyes.

"Because with the way everyone treated me, I never thought I could be anything more than a villain." Max admitted as his voice shook and then he started to cough again and it took him a bit but he regained his composure and he stood up and turned to the last press member.

"Thunder Man, I think everyone wants to know, are you Maximus Thunderman? You said you were Thunder Man's son and there are many pictures of you standing with your sister Phoebe in the same suit you are wearing, but we still need conformation." The press member said.

"Maybe, maybe not. All you need to know is that Thunder Man will always do his best to be there when you need him." Max replied and then he teleported into the hospital.

Max walked over to a doctor and looked to him.

"Sir, I need your help. I have," Max started and then he started coughing violently and then the doctor looked at him and saw who he was.

"Oh my gosh, your Thunder Man." The doctor said and then he called several other doctors in. Max slowly stood up and suddenly he saw Hank walk out of the restroom and Max saw him and Hank looked frustrated and shook his head at Max and Max felt a pain in his chest and he could barely breath.

"Somethings, Somethings," Max started coughing as he couldn't breath and then his knees buckled underneath him. "Wrong." Max coughed and then he slowly felt the pain expand through his chest.

"Thunder Man are you alright! Thunder Man! Whats his real name!?" The doctor shouted.

"I don't know!" Another person shouted. Hank was frozen.

"Theres his father!" A different doctor yelled and they all turned to Hank.

"Dad." Max coughed as he looked to Hank for help.

"What are you talking about? I have Max who was a villain, and Billy whose not even old enough to be a hero yet. I don't even know who you are." Hank said sadly as he wanted to help Max but didn't want people to realize that Max was the new Thunder Man.

"We can't take his mask off, it's against the law! What are we supposed to do!?" A doctor shouted and the closest doctor checked Max's heart.

"WHAT?!" The doctor shouted and he looked around and couldn't believe what was happening.

"Whats wrong?" Hank shouted as his voice shook.

"What do you care? You don't even know him." A different doctor sighed.

"Because he protects my home city and my family's home city. If hes gone then there will be no one to help Metroburg. WHats wrong with him?" Hank insisted.

"Hes having a heart attack." The doctor said and the rest of the doctors became extremely concerned and whisked him away immediately.

"Oh my God, what have I done?" Hank said as tears fell down his face…..

Hank ran into Phoebes hospital room and everyone turned to him.

"Oh look who it is, Father Of The Month." Allison sighed. Then everyone except for Allison saw that Hank was devastated about something.

"Whats wrong Dad?" Billy asked.

"Max came in coughing after he answered a bunch of press questions. Metroburg is calling him Thunder Man now." Hank started to explain and Allison stood up and turned to him.

"Oh and you SO wished that your precious Phoebe would carry on your family name. Oh that's SO devastating!" Allison snapped.

"Yes, I THOUGHT it was! And when Max looked at me I shook my head at him and then he started to have a heart attack!" Hank shouted back as he tried not to cry and Allison froze.

"But he stopped having the heart attack right?" Billy asked and then Allison flipped out and she started to hit Hank over and over again.

"WHY CANT YOU PEOPLE JUST SEE HOW GREAT HE IS!" Allison screamed and Garry ran over and started to pull her off of him. Soon Allison just turned to her father and started to cry in his shoulder.

"I actually want to know that answer myself. What is wrong with you people? He's your son!" Debbie snapped as she walked over to Hank.

"With all do respect my family is none of your business, and," Hank started and then Max's doctor walked in and he was extremely angry and he pushed Hank into a corner.

"I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY! HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT IT WAS OK FOR YOU TO COME NEAR MAX EVER," The doctor started and Phoebe got a text and looked at her phone.

"SHUT UP!" Phoebe shouted and everyone looked to her as she turned the TV on and Max's face was on the news.

"Metroburg has one of its best protectors since Thunder Man, today he addressed the press and also addressed a little boy with the most grace in which a hero has ever spoken to anyone with. We did want to address the original Thunder Man and say that the only reason we gave our new hero this name was because we feel that he is doing the name justice. Thunder GIRL the protector of Hiddenville has been quite fantastic but I don't think even Thunder Man can deny that this new hero deserves a name that is any less great than his own. This is video footage of our new Thunder Man and it appears to be him teleporting with people outside of the museum. AT this point in the video he had saved over 75 people. I believe the total surpassed 120 people total." The reporter said and then it showed video of Max rescuing people and Hank and Barb both looked at the footage as tears filled their eyes. Then suddenly the fire was put out and Max flew out of the building and was gone. The reporter spoke again. "According to reporters the original Thunder Man has denied that the new one is even related to him even though minutes before it was stated that they were related and so we had the identity of Max Thunderman," A picture of Max from school showed up on the screen and Allison turned.

"Don't reveal his identity!" Allison shouted.

"with the picture of our new Thunder Man from the interview compared in an image identification filter, and low and behold, the results show that if you simply put a blue mask over Max Thundermans face, he is," The reporter started and then a fake blue mask was imposed onto Max's school picture. " Thunder Man. Max Thunderman of the Thunderman family IS Thunder Man, so that makes us wonder, why on earth would Hank Thunderman AKA the original Thunder Man DISOWN his son who is doing such incredible work? All that we know is that Metroburg is now saying that THEY disown the original Thunder Man and now Max Thunderman is the ONLY Thunder Man who will ever matter to them and personally until Hank Thunderman makes things right with his son, I think we all are going to forget he ever even protected Metroburg. Hank if your listening, think about it, why are you treating your son like this? Now back to you Jennavieve." The reporter finished and Phoebe turned the tv off.

"You have to stop dad. Max may not have studied as much as I have and he might not have put as much time into it, but you gotta admit, Metroburg never would have given him that name if he wasn't worthy of it and judging from that video Dad, I'll even admit it, he's significantly better at being a hero than I am. Maybe Max SHOULD be the one who gets the family name." Phoebe sighed.

"MAX IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK!" Allison screamed and everyone looked at her like she was insane. "Im sorry, does a heart attack mean something different from what I know as a heart attack. Teenagers don't have heart attacks!"

"WE GET IT ALLISON!" Hank yelled.

"HEY DON'T YELL AT MY DAUGHTER FOR DEFENDING THE MAN SHE LOVES! BECAUSE OF YOU SHE MIGHT LOSE HIM!" Garry shouted and then everyone started shouting at each other when suddenly the door opened and another doctor looked like he was exhausted and everyone immediately grew silent.

"Doctor there you are. We can't get Thunder Man in a stable mode. Every time we stabilize his heart something else goes out of wack. We need your help." The doctor said and Allison ran over and grabbed the tired doctor by his shirt color.

"HES GONNA BE OK THOUGH RIGHT!? HES GONNA BE OK!" Allison shouted and Garry pulled her off but she wouldn't let go.

"ALLISON! LET! GO!" Garry yelled.

"GET IN THERE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! METROBURG DEPENDS ON IT!" Allison shouted and then Garry pulled her off finally and Allison turned to her father and crossed her arms. "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Allison screamed and then she turned back to Max's typical doctor. "Go save him. Please." Allison said as tears filled her eyes.

"For you, the best girlfriend on the face of the planet, I will do everything I can." The doctor said respectfully and then he left and the tired doctor slowly fell to the ground and fell asleep…

Everyone was waiting impatiently and Allison never stopped giving Hank the death stare. Everyone had nothing to do so they just looked from Allison to Hank. Hank looked down at his watch uncomfortably.

"Its been five hours Allison. Are you going to, you know, BLINK?" Hank asked.

"How can you make jokes when you caused your son to have a heart attack. Hes 17 Hank! HES 17!" Allison snapped and Hank felt guilty about it. "Oh well look at that, he actually feels guilty."

"I already admitted it, I messed up, and im sorry!" Hank yelled as he tried not to cry.

"WELL IF MAX LIVES MAYBE YOULL ACTUALLY GET THE CHANCE TO TELL HIM!" Allison snapped as she stood up and Garry stood up and stood in front of Allison.

"Allison that's enough!" Garry shouted and Allison looked shocked.

"How can you defend him?" Allison asked as tears filled her eyes.

"Because, IM a dad, I can tell that he feels terrible about this, and yes, he seriously screwed up, and yes he caused this, but I can also see that he has a lot on his mind and he is just not dealing with it well. But most importantly, when he watched that video of Max saving those people I saw that he was extremely proud of his son and I saw that he felt terrible for EVER doubting him. Allison, he messed up and he has apologized to YOU fifteen times. Why can't you just stop with the guilt trip? You're not like this Allison. What is going on?" Garry asked sadly and Allison started to cry.

"I love him, and he might die Dad. And no offense, but I love him more than I have ever loved anyone in my entire life, and for the first time I can say that I KNOW that it's not all in my head and I KNOW that he loves me back and I don't want to lose him. Today I have had to watch him protect two cities and its hard but he was safe and then I find out that the only reason he was in danger was because of his family and its heartbreaking because," Allison started to cry harder and everyone was paying so much attention to Allison that they didn't even see that halfway through the speech the doctor walked in with Max who was standing on his own and everything. He seemed fine. "All Max has ever wanted was for you guys to accept him and even though hes a hero now you still don't accept him and it's hard to watch him hurt and I don't understand why you guys can't just accept him as he is like I did. Sure I tried to change him but it was only because I cared so much about him and I know that you guys just wanted him to be a hero but now he's an excellent hero and you STILL don't accept him. I just don't get why a family can't accept one of their own." Allison cried and then Chloe looked at the ground and looked up with tears in her eyes and then she saw Max and her eyes widened and she froze solid and just pointed to Max.

"I think im seeing a ghost." Chloe cried and everyone turned to where she was pointing and Allison saw Max who was about to start crying as he looked at her.

"Max?" Allison cried.

"The reason Max was so unstable was because his healing power was trying to do its job on the inside of him and we were doing things that prevented his powers form doing its work. As soon as I realized that, his body created a major healing process and hes, hes fine. IM sorry it took us so long to figure out what was happening." The doctor sighed. Max walked over to Allison.

"I, um," Allison cried as she tried to stop crying and she couldn't.

"I love you so much." Max said and then he put his hands on her face and wiped the tears away and she slowly stopped crying.

"I love you too." Allison sighed and then Max kissed her. The room was silent. Soon Max pulled away and he looked to her.

"I don't do this very often by the way, but I feel like its necessary." Max said and then he hugged her and Allison let out a laugh.

"I don't think we have hugged like this EVER." Allison sighed and then Max slowly pulled away and smiled at her. Hank stood up and walked over to Max.

"Max." Hank sighed and the doctor stood between the two of them.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" The doctor shouted.

"Its ok." Max sighed and the doctor walked away and he looked to his dad unsurely.

"Max, I," Hank started and then Max interrupted him.

"No you're going to hear me out first." Max said and Hank got quiet. "I didn't ask to be called Thunder Man, I didn't beg for it Dad, they gave it to me, and I thought you would be proud but obviously your too obsessed with having Phoebe be the success of the family that its blinding you from seeing what I can do. I'm not better than Phoebe, but I AM just as good of a hero as her. I wouldn't have been so angry but seeing what you're doing to Allison is ridiculous. Allison believed in me far before anyone in our family did and you hurt her. Now you can talk." Max finished.

"Max, Your right." Hank started and Max looked slightly shocked. "The news revealed your identity." Max looked a little frustrated but got over it quickly. "But they also showed video footage of you saving all of those people from the museum. Max, Ive seen you fight, but ive never seen you rescue anyone. As terrible of a father as I am when I say this, I didn't think you had it in you to sacrifice yourself to save people you don't even know. But, you're a better hero than I could have ever imagined. You're so considerate and your so kind and I see you with Allison and you're not afraid to be who you are in front of her. Max, the city of Metroburg has decided that they are going to pretend that I was never Thunder Man because I am shunning you apparently, and I was just trying to protect your identity. I was upset and I thought you stole my name, but you didn't, and Metroburg is only going to acknowledge Thunder Man as being you, and I don't blame them because Max, you are more deserving of that name than I will ever be. You are a better Thunder Man than I EVER was. I screwed up Max, majorly. And im sorry that I hurt you and im sorry that I hurt Allison because quite honestly, Allison has been there for you more than anyone here. She has supported you and she's the reason why you are so amazing. She's the only one who has put any love into you and I couldn't be more happier for the two of you. Max, I don't deserve to be your father." Hank finished as he started to cry. "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness either, but Max I could never live with myself if you never forgave me. You can take as much time as you need Max, but,"Hank started and Max interrupted.

"I forgive you." Max said and Hank looked shocked.

"Really?"Hank sighed and Allison put her arm around Max as she slightly smiled.

"Yeah. I know how hard that was for you, and personally I feel like Metroburg is giving you enough of a punishment. I just hope they don't find out about my heart attack because Im not sure what they'll do to you." Max sighed sadly.

"Actually the cause of the heart attack was kind of a joint effort of the amount of work he has done today and the stress level he was under. SO you weren't the complete cause of the heart attack. You just helped it along. But Max, we do need to talk about this. We all need to talk about this." The doctor explained and everyone looked to him. "So Max's heart, even though it IS healed, it is still weakened now. So if there is an intense level of stress in his life and you add the stress of work to it, this could happen again, and it's going to be much easier to cause it to happen so you guys need to stop stressing the kid out this much. He has enough on his shoulders with the two cities he is protecting and so you need to back off. By the way Max you need this." The doctor said and he handed Max his tablet. "Its been going crazy for five minutes. While I was talking it started," The doctor said and Max grabbed it.

"Oh give it here. It's not like I just got out of surgery or anything and," Max stopped. "OH MY GOD SUPER PRESIDENT KICKBUTT!" Max shouted and everyone stopped. "She went in to do my job and got herself captured by the Gray Spector!" Max whined and he looked around. "Im rescuing not only fifteen innocent citizens but also Kickbutt." Max took a deep breath in and let it out and he turned to Allison. "I'll see you later." Max sighed and Allison kissed him on the cheek.

"Be careful." Allison sighed and Max nodded and then he walked out.

"MAXY!" Chloe cried and she ran after him and clung to his leg. Max turned to everyone sadly and Max picked her up.

"Im coming back, and this time, im not going to be hurt. I promise." Max said and Chloe nodded and Max put her down and Chloe ran to her mom and Max left….

Max flew down to find the villain with some type of gun to Kickbutts head and he teleported behind the guy and picked him up with his super strength and threw him away from Kickbutt and Max used his super strength to get Kickbutt out of the ties that were keeping her down and he pulled her to her feet.

"Thankyou Max. I underestimated you." Kickbutt sighed.

"You're not the only one and," Max started and he saw the villain throwing his electricity power towards them and he pulled Kickbutt behind him and used a shield as a power and the electricity went back to the villain and the villain fell to the ground as he shook.

"Max stop the electricity." Kickbutt said and max looked confused.

"Im not the one controlling it, he is." Max said.

"Then hit him or break his arm or do something or hes going to die." Kickbutt snapped and Max ran over and felt the electricity running through the villains body and used his powers to pull the electricity out of the guy and then the guy stopped shaking. Max shook the electricity off his hands and then he checked for a pulse and then froze him.

"Hes alive." Max sighed as he stood up and turned to Kickbutt.

"You saved my life realize you're about to not just be famous in the human world but the hero world as well right?" Kickbutt asked.

"Why would I be famous in the hero world? I just did my job." Max asked in confusion.

"Max, most heroes would see that the Super President of all people got caught and they would not even try because I'm supposed to be the most powerful hero in existence. Your 17 years old, and you came and saved my life. I thought you were in surgery." Kickbutt said.

"I got out five minutes before my tablet went off." Max replied.

"And you still came? NO person in their right mind would do that. You could get hurt again, and you just nearly died, and," Kickbutt started getting emotionally.

"Kickbutt, It's MY job to make sure everyone in Metroburg and HIddenville are safe, and you were technically in Metroburg so it was my job to protect you too." Max explained and Kickbutt smiled at him.

"Max, im giving you the Hero of the Year award. You're the best candidate for it. That award will be given to you next week. We have been waiting for Phoebe to do something but you beat her to it. Max your gonna be famous over this." Kickbutt said and Max looked shocked.

"Thankyou Super President Kickbutt but you don't have to do that. If Phoebe finds out, it will kill her." Max sighed.

"Max, she hasn't earned it, and you have. You have saved more people in one rescue than Phoebe has in her entire career. Max you were amazing and you just saved me. That can't be ignored. Please accept the award. If you don't take it Phoebe won't get it so there's no point in you denying it." Kickbutt explained and Max nodded.

"I accept it. Thank you. Now, can I go back to the hospital?" Max asked and Kickbutt nodded and then he teleported away and walked into Phoebes room and everyone smiled at him and it kind of freaked him out.

"Why is everyone smiling?" Max asked and then he heard the TV and he looked at it and saw that his interviews with the press was on and it was a clip of Max talking to the little boy.

"Um, turn that off, I have news for you guys." Max sighed and Phoebe turned the tv off. "So I saved Super President Kickbutt, and," everyone seemed happy about it and started talking.

"YO!" Allison shouted. "Hes got more to say!" Everyone got quiet.

"Um, Kickbutt decided that she wants me to have the Hero of the Year award." Max revealed and everyone seemed to be in slight shock and Hank and Barb stood up and walked over to max.

"We're so proud of you Max." Barb cried.

"This is such an honor Max." Hank sighed and they both hugged Max and the second they pulled away Max looked to Phoebe who looked like she was proud of him.

"I thought you would be heart broken." Max sighed.

"Max, if I'm going to be honest, your kind of a better hero than me. Your really really fantastic Max. You deserve it. You have been protecting Metroburg AND Hiddenville and you did so well, and I can barely handle Hiddenville on its own." Phoebe admitted and Max slightly smiled.

"Don't compare yourself to me. It's not a competition." Max said kindly and everyone looked at him in slight surprise.

"Max I always threw the fact that I was better than you in your face. Why are you treating me so well?"Phoebe asked.

"Well, I was a pain in the butt with being a villain and causing a lot of trouble and you never threw me in jail so I think we can call it even." Max laughed and Phoebe couldn't help but smile.
