Marco, Jackie, and Janna entered Janna's room hoping to find an explanation. For the past 24 hours Marco's abilities has already began to reveal itself; he explained to them that when he saved Janna it wasn't teleportation or that he was slowing down time, it was the fact he was moving super fast and it felt like the lightning surrounding his body was powering his speed. Everyone dropped their gear on Janna's floor as Janna got on her desk and turn on her computer.
"So you think you know what's happening to Marco?" question a skeptical Jackie.
"Of course," replied Janna as she was pulling up blogs onto her monitor, "Ever since the explosion at S.T.A.R Labs, there has been reports of supernatural and anomalies going on around the city." Janna pointed at her screen to prove her point.
Marco and Jackie lean in to read what is on the screen.
Marco: "Strange Weather patterns occurring inside buildings?"
Jackie: "Tar moving like it has a life of its own?
Marco: "Green smoke moving around the neighborhood?"
Jackie: "Everyday plastic items exploding?"
"Yeah," chimed in Janna, "And every time something like this happen some people would notice one person at that area that seemed to be causing thiese phenomenons." Janna began typing to pull up another blog titled Next Species of Humans? "People affected by the explosion has given them mutated powers. We've been calling them metahumans."
"We?" asked Marco.
"I've made a few contributions," Janna responded.
"And you think Marco is a metahuman now?" question Jackie.
"What's your theories?" rebuked Janna.
Marco lean on the desk, thinking hard as he process this new information. "The lightning that hit me back at S.T.A.R Labs is the same lightning that coursed through my body when I saved Janna." Jackie and Janna looked at him. "I think Janna's right, I am a metahuman."
Jackie look at both at them, trying to come up with an alternative possibility on why her boyfriend was able to do the things he did, but there isn't. Star is gone, so the radiation from Particle Accelerator generator can be only explanation. Her father's company assured everyone that no harmful material was released into the atmosphere. Did my dad lie or was he lied to?
"Okay," Marco said, "The incident that occurred yesterday gave me super fast speed. Why has my appetite and consumption of food gotten way bigger?"
Janna was thinking for a while, "Stress eating?"
"Your metabolism," answered Jackie.
"Huh?" said a confused Marco.
"Your speed abilities might also be making your metabolism system work in overdrive," she explained, "Depleting your glucose levels at a much faster rate."
"How do you know all this? " asked Janna, leaning on her chair.
"Because I'm the only one here who is taking a nutritious and diet class as my elective," Jackie responded.
"So I have eat like a elephant everyday to keep with up with my new metabolism?" Marco asked.
"Or a whole elephant," Janna joked.
"Yes, or you probably would be passing out," Jackie answered, ignoring Janna.
"So I have super speed," Marco said, still in disbelief, "Doe that mean everything my body did before now it can do faster?"
"Let's see," Janna said, wanting to test out a theory. She stood up, grabbed Marco's hand, and quickly stabbed him with a sharpened pencil.
"OW!" shouted Marco, pulling his hand away. "What the hell Janna!?"
"Don't be a baby," said Janna, "Let us see what's happening."
Marco, wary of Janna, extended his arm so they can see his bleeding had.
"Well would you look at that, I can still bleed," Marco sarcastically theorized.
"Just keep looking," said Janna.
Marco looked and noticed that it stopped bleeding. He wiped the blood away so he can a better look and saw his wound was healing up. "Whoa."
"Your cells regenerates quickly!" concluded Janna.
"Wait? Does that mean his wounds heal quickly or he has regenerate abilities?" asked Jackie, "Like if his arm was chopped off, would the wound just close up quickly or will he grow a new arm?"
"Only one way to find out," said Janna. She crouch down and began searching under her bed. "I have a samurai sword somewhere here."
"No no no no!" Marco shouted quickly, he pulled Janna back up. "That question better be left unanswered."
Janna shrugged "Fair enough. So what now?"
The room stayed quiet for a while. "I kind of want to see how fast I can go," said Marco.
"Yeah, me too," Jackie responded quickly.
"I have a police radar gun," Janna pulled one out of her backpack.
Marco and Jackie look at her with a judging faces.
"You have your hobbies and I have mine," Janna said in her defense. With a shrug as a response all three exited Janna's room to see how fast Marco can run.
TTTTTTTTTTT
"Again," said Moon as she stood and watch Star attempt to perform a magic technique without her wand for the 27th time.
"Uuuggh," groan Star, lying face first on the floor, "I've been doing this since I got here." Her voice was barely audible.
"And we'll keep trying till you'll get this right," Moon said firmly.
Star stood up, "Glossaryck would have just let me figure it on my own."
"Yes, tricking you that it was a spell you have to absolutely learn in the last minute. But Glossaryck was direct with me, making me practice for several hours a day till the move wast pitch perfect."
I'm not you, Star look at her with a bit of suspicion. "What is this technique suppose to do, anyway?"
"This technique," Moon position her body to perform the technique herself, "suppose to channel all your senses," he spoke while performing a ballerina type dance, "so you can see, hear, smell, and feel the surroundings that you would normally be invisible to you. It is very useful in environment like Mewni and it can help us locate Glossaryck." When she finish her technique, she stood in a pose and her pupil's change to resemble that of a snake. "Right now I can sense that your father is taking a soap bath with his favorite axe and he is singing to it."
Star chuckled, "Cool! But why practice that and not use the All Seei-" Star stop when she remembered how using that spell affected her.
"Eclipsa's All Seeing Eye spell is dark magic and tends to do more harm than good," Moon spoke, "seeing how you already knew that."
Star slouched in defeat and shame.
"Now." Moan said with a stern tone "Again."
Star let out a small groan and was prepare to try the technique for the 28th time until there was a knock on the door.
"What is it?" Moon asked with annoyance in her voice.
"The Magic High Commission have arrived to speak with you my Queen," spoke a Royal Guard in the other side of the door.
"Bureaucracy. No wonder Glossaryck always hated dealing with them," Moon groaned like Star did earlier. "Today's session is over." Star clapped her hands together and led out a cheerful eek. "Go to your room Star, I got some politics to deal with."
"Okay mom." Star was slowly following her Mother and stopped walking once she exited. She wanted to stay behind and observe the room some more, making some renovations plannings in her mind. "Can't wait till this room becomes mine. There's going to be a water slide there. A petting zoo there. Ooh, maybe a dragon sanctuary in the ceiling."
Star stop making decoration plans when she saw the tapestries again. "So these depict the events that took place in mom's life." She noticed the chronological order the paintings followed with some strange scribble between each tapestries that seems to connect them with each other, and how some tapestries are bigger than others. "Oh!" Star came to a revelation. "The tapestry is bigger if the event had a bigger impact in your life." Star look around to find which one is the biggest. The found the biggest tapestry in the middle of the room and it depicts a familiar foe. It shows Toffee wearing the same outfit he had in the tapestry Star saw in her wand, however this time he's huge, with one hand behind his back, and the other holding Mewni in palm of his hand. Moon was tiny, standing on top of Mewni's highest tower, defiantly facing Toffee with her wand, who was looking back at her with a smug look. It symbolizes that Toffee was a huge threat to Mewni and Moon was Mewni's last hope.
"Toffee almost won?" Star asked herself. "You were such a badass mom, I hope a tapestry of mine will depict me saving Glossaryck while beating the crap out of Ludo." As Star began to follow the chronological order of the tapestries, she notice that none came as close as being the same size as Moon's battle with Toffee. The tapestry that depicts the birth of Star was only a good medium size. "Wow mom, I'm hurt," she joked. But every tapestry after that, it kept getting smaller and smaller. "I guess being a queen is boring! Great, got that to look forward to." Star was about to head to the exit when she noticed a tapestry in one of the corners.
"Now what are you doing all the way over there?," Star spoke as though the tapestry was going to answer back. Getting closer to the textile art she notice how isolate it was, it has nothing around it to connect it with the other tapestries like it was some sort of aberration. I see someone is trying to be a loner. She stopped right in front of it to take a good look at every detail of the image. The Kingdom of Mewni was in the middle of it and there was skulls with Mewni's military helmets in the bottom, symbolizing that Mewnian soldiers were massacre. Above the castle depicts two red eyes looking down at Star menacingly, and in the middle of the castle there is a noticeably black circle with a red lightning symbol across it. "What happened here?" Star felt some chills as she continue to look at the strange lightning insignia.
Before she can further deduct the tapestry, a voice called out for her. "Star! Leave that room at once!" shouted her mother from the distance.
Star jumped from the sound of her voice. "Yes Mother!" she replied. Star made a dash to the exit, only to stop in front of the door. She look at the tapestry one last time, "I hope I don't get a weird tapestry that would give me the chills like that." Star exited the room and closed the door.
TTTTTTTTTTTTT
"You have a well-to-do body now, able to summon lighting around your body like a badass, and the power to rival Hermes, and yet you still manage to make yourself look like dork," exclaimed Janna, with Jackie silently laughing at herself.
"For your information safety is what keeps the world going," counter Marco. He was wearing his typical outfit, but also Jackie's skating helmet, goggles design for wind protection, knee and elbow caps, and a fanny pack that has his personal medical kit.
"Well I think he pulls off a cute dork," Jackie stated. Marco felt a light blush. Jackie got closer to her dorky boyfriend and spoke to him with a sincere voice, "When you're running and it becomes too much for your body to handle, there's no shame in stopping."
Marco smiled at her, "Thanks Jackie," he patted his fanny pack, "But I think I'll be alright." Jackie jokingly laugh at him.
Marco walk toward his starting position, he was going to test out his speed on a abandoned track in Echo Creek Park, he lean forward and shifted his body into a running position.
"On your mark!" shouted Janna as she pointed her police radar gun at Marco, "Get Set!" Electricity began flickering in Marco's eyes, "GO!"
He went off, a gush of wind almost knocking Janna and Jackie's footing, "Whoa," they both said. What they were seeing was a red steak moving through the wind so fast that it looks like a blur, with a trail of lightning behind it.
Marco's heart was racing and his adrenaline pumping as he ran. He didn't get a chance to take in the feeling of running when he saved Janna, but now he can and it felt amazing. He felt the wind passing around his body, the electricity coursing through his veins, "Woooooo hooooooo!" Marco shouted with excitement. He didn't want stop, he wanted to keep on running and and running, but he knew Janna and Jackie were expecting him to come back. Marco made a U turn.
"He's coming back," Jackie said. Both girls covered their heads expecting the gush of wind. Marco stopped in front of them, dirt and leaves being thrown at their bodies.
"Jesus," said Janna as she was wiping the dirt out off her body. "You need to control your 'landing.'"
"Sorry," Marco quickly apologized.
"How did it feel?" asked Jackie.
"How did it feel?" Marco said as he was trying to find the words to describe his feeling, "It was amazing!" He was gushing with excitment. "I never felt anything like that before! The speed! The lightning! The burning sensation of..." Marco stopped when he felt a weird feeling in his feet. "Rubber."
He look down at his shoes to see that it completely worn out. It was torn and the rubber melted and took up a new shape.
"Dude, you totally burned rubber!" exclaimed Jackie, "Your skateboarding skills would be amazing."
Marco looked at his shoes, "I should have put on running shoes." he then look up Janna, "How fast was I going?"
"How fast were you going?" Janna asked, pretending she didn't know the answer. "Well Mr. Diaz, you were going," she pulled the radar gun screen close to her face, "386 mph."
"Booyah!" exclaimed Marco, pumping his fists up the air, "I want to dance but these are highly uncomfortable now." Then his stomach growled, "And I'm hungry."
"I got some running shoes at my place," said Janna
"We could order some pizza as well," Jackie added.
"Sounds cool," said Marco. He opened up his fanny pack and started searching in it, "I got money in here too."
Back at Janna's room.
Marco ordered 6 large pizzas and 1 medium pizza, the medium is for Jackie and Janna and the rest for Marco. For a 14 year old boy, Marco already has hundreds of dollars in savings, which would become really helpful now that he has a metahuman metabolism.
"You know how many people would kill to have the ability to eat a lot without have to worry about getting fat," commented Jackie after she watch Marco consumed 6 whole large pizzas at a record pace.
"My father would," Marco quipped, "He torments himself when he can't eat his favorite food because he doesn't want to get fat."
"So, what now?" asked Jackie. "You have super speed so what are you going to do with? Join a sport."
"As much I would love to dominate, I still don't like sports," Marco shuddered in thought, "I like my own privacy when I'm changing, and the boy's locker room is not hygienic." Marco starting thinking for a while when he suddenly remembered the absence of a magical princess. "Star would have been so excited about my new abilities, she would have had a couple of ideas on what I should do."
"Fighting the forces of evil together and having each other backs," said Jackie, knowing how almost inseparable they were, "With your abilities and her magical powers, you guys would have been one huge dynamic duo."
Marco slouched, thinking on how much he missed Star. Since day one he has been fighting monsters alongside her, traveling to wacky, but dangerous dimensions, helping each other go through their inner demons, the potential for more amazing adventures they would have had together. Now she is gone and right after Star left Marco developed super speed, so he doesn't know what to do next. He looks at Janna who has been quite for while, seeing that she is using some sort of medium size device. "Janna, what are you doing?"
"I'm trying to get this stupid police radio to work," Janna answer back.
"And where did you get a police radio?" ask Marco who was concerned.
"It came with the police radar gun Marco, duh," Janna shot back.
Marco didn't ask more questions, not wanting to know any more information. Jackie stood up and walks over to Janna, "Here Janna let me help." Jackie was tinkering with the radio until it started receiving signal from LA. "And there you go."
"How did you know how to do that?" asks a surprise Janna.
"My Dad job at S.T.A.R. Labs pretty much made him an expert with computers, software, and other kinds of technology. He teaches me his knowledge of them because he wants me to follow footsteps," Jackie then grabbed her skateboard, "However, skating is my passion but it doesn't hurt learning about these things."
Marco was about say something when the radio interrupted him, "Dispatch 211, we have a robbery in progress in Echo Bank. Three suspects all armed. All available units in the area please assist."
"Looks like the police are going to have a busy day today," said Marco.
Janna's face suddenly lighten up as though she had bright idea. She looked at Marco and grabs his shoulders, "Marco! You should go and stop the robbery!"
"What!?" both Marco and Jackie said.
"What if this is the reason you have super speed. So you can be a super hero!" Janna prophesied, "You can't just keep your powers to yourself and use it for selfish reasons, I mean would, but you are Marco Diaz! You help people even in the most dire situations."
"Are you kidding!? They have guns and bullets travel way faster than me." Marco looked at Janna as though was crazy
"But you fought monsters 3 times your size and travel to other dimensions," Janna counter. "And all you had was your karate moves."
Marco was about speak, but Janna had a point. He openly admitted to everyone in the past that all the dangers he encounter with Star was like a thrill. The monster fighting, curses, and dangerous dimensions made his life actually exciting. However Star is gone and those adventures are about to become a distance memory, but he has powers, would it selfish for him to use them to save people so he can have that thrill again, or more selfish if he doesn't. Dealing with internal conflict, Marco looks at his girlfriend for advice, "What do you think Jackie?"
Jackie looks as though she was conflicted, "I don't want to see you get hurt Marco. But you always faced danger in the pass to save your friends." She grabs a pair running shoes and gave to him, "I say just give it a chance."
"Yes!" exclaims Janna.
Marco looks at the running shoes in Jackie's hands. "Alright, but if this goes horrible and I make the situation worse I'm calling it off."
"Deal!" said Janna.
Marco put on the running shoes and was about to leave when Jackie stop him, "Whoa Marco. You can't go out and save the day looking like that."
"Looking like what?"
"Your face. Is not hidden or anything," answered Jackie.
"But I didn't kept my identity a secret when I was fighting monsters," countered Marco.
"But monsters don't live in Earth, or have a paparazzi," Jackie quipped, "I think."
"Good point," Marco said, having been persuaded. He put his hoodie over his head. "How about this?"
"No, we can still see your face," Janna rubs her chin. "I have an idea." Janna open her drawer and pulled out a red bandanna. "Here, use this to cover your lower half of your face."
Marco grabs the bandanna and put it one, covering his nose, mouth, cheeks, and mole. "So this is my superhero costume," Marco said disappointingly.
"Not until we make a better one," Jackie said. "Here." She kisses Marco in the mouth through the bandanna. "For good luck."
"Thanks." said Marco. He quickly ran and gush of wind blew Janna's desk supplies onto her floor.
"We didn't tell him that he still had the fanny pack on," said Janna.
Jackie smiled, "For some reason he pulls off the look with it."
At Echo Bank.
Two robbers wearing all black, ski masks, and arm with assault rifles were guarding the entrance to the bank. No cops has arrive at the scene yet and the people that were inside the bank when the robbers arrive were ordered to leave.
"We should have at least kept a few hostages so the cops won't just shoot at us like crazy" said the 1st robber.
"Hostages would make things more complicated," said the 2nd robber. "Besides we'll be gone by the time the cops arrive."
"We better," said the 1st. "Are you sure our third guy would be able to break into the vault? He doesn't look smart and he didn't bring a lot of tools."
"Word on the street is that Tony Woodward can break into anything," replied the 2nd. "But if he can't break into the vault I guess we have to shoot him."
The two robbers were about to go back guarding when a swoosh sound was heard and a gush a wind was blasted indoors. The robbers look at the source a saw a young person wearing a torn red hoodie with his face being hidden with the hood and a bandanna.
"Ugh these shoes didn't last long either," Marco looked at wore-torn shoes, "And now my clothes are getting torn as well. I'm going to need a durable outfit ASAP."
"Hey beat it kid," said the first robber, "We came here first."
"Yeah," said the 2nd, "And a piece of advice that fanny pack is not going to carry a lot of money." Both of them laugh.
Marco looks at them at them, "I'm not here to rob the bank, I'm here to stop you guys."
"Stop us? You?" the 1st laughed, "April fools passed already."
"We don't play games kid. Now who the hell are you?" 2nd angrily asked.
"Oh I'm..." Marco realize he hasn't came up with a cool name. "Speedy?" He flinch after hearing what he said.
"You're calling yourself Speedy?"
"It's prone to change," Marco stated.
The two robbers pointed their guns at Marco, "Listen up weirdo, you got till the count of ten to leave."
Marco smirk behind his bandanna, Got to time this right just right.
"One.." Marco didn't wait till they said two. In a flash of lighting, Marco ran by them and quickly grab their guns. "Two.. wait where he go?" The robbers look at their empty hands, "Where's our guns?!"
Suddenly Marco reappear in the same spot he was before. "Oh there somewhere where the cops can find them for evidence." Marco was began to feel cocky now that the culprits have been disarmed.
"What the hell are you!?"
"Me? Oh I'm just a guy who was in the wrong place at the right time."
"AHH!" one the robbers let out a frustrated yell as he charged at Marco.
When the robber attempted to punch, Marco use his super speed to make the world go in slow motion for him. He step out of the way as the guy's punch slowly miss his head. Now this is just child's play. Marco than jab him in the stomach with his fist. The robber grab his stomach out of pain, forcing him to bend down a little. With the thief's head position just right, Marco was able to karate kick in the left side of his face, he landed hard on floor knocked out.
"Hell nah," said the second robber. He pulls out his knife and he too charges at Marco.
"Don't bring a knife to a meta-karate fight," quipped Marco. Once again Marco was to quick for the assailant, the robber miss his mark with his knife allowing Marco to quickly hit him on his bicep to stun that arm's muscles. He drops his knife and try to hit Marco with his other arm, but misses and Marco hits him again on the left side of his stomach. Bending over in pain, Marco karate chop him with his right hand on the top of his head, knocking him out.
"That was too easy and fun!" Marco triumphantly announced. Suddenly the realization hit him, "Oh my God I'm becoming like Star."
"I knew I work better alone," came a new voice behind Marco.
Marco turned around to see a large, buff young man holding two large bags of money. "Oh yeah, the radio said there was three robbers." Marco took a good look at the third thief, he wasn't wearing anything to cover up his identity. He has a square jaw with short, gel hair, and he has a sleeveless grey-greenish shirt own to show off his biceps, revealing a weird tattoo on his right bicep. "Not afraid to show your face, I see."
"And you shouldn't be either, with our abilities people should be afraid of us." The man than walks closer to Marco. "I didn't know there was more out there."
"People in red suits?" joked Marco.
The man chuckled, "Well I see we have smartass here." His face than turned to anger, "I hated smartasses back when I was in school."
"Look man, clearly you should have pay attention more on your homework than to smartasses back in school," Marco then got into a fighting position. "But the past is the past, now this money doesn't belong to you."
"Than take it from me," challenge the thief.
"You asked for it," using his super speed to make his punch hit harder since he didn't gain super strength, Marco was about to right hook him on his face. But right before his fist would make contact, Marco saw his whole skin turn into sliver metal. It was too late to stop his fist.
His right fist made contact with the man's metal skin and Marco heard and felt his bones crack. "AHH!' shouted Marco in agonized pain. He got his knees and grabbed his broken hand with his left hand, "What the hell was that?"
The man look down at Marco with disappointment, "And here I thought I was going to have a real fight." He then kick Marco on his stomach with his metal foot, sending him flying across the room until he slam into the wall and fell onto the floor. "Better luck next time, hero."
The man than left the building, leaving Marco lying on the floor shivering in pain. This is not what I was expecting, Marco heard the sounds of police sirens getting closer, I hope my legs still work. Marco slowly got up with the his left arm only be able to support him, he felt immense pain in his right hand and stomach. Once he got his two legs he ran, with the pain following wherever he was running off to.
Janna's Room
"Do you think he'll be alright?" Jackie sat in Janna's bad feeling anxious about her boyfriend's safety.
Janna sat on her chair near next to her desk, monitoring the police radio for any updates on the robbery, "He'll be fine. No one is expecting a low self esteem teen with super speed to come and save the day." Jackie cross her arms together, not able to shake the feeling of torment off of her. However, it became apparent to Janna to something else was bothering her. "Okay girl, what's going on?"
"Do you think I'll ever be good enough for him?"
Janna looks at her friend with a completely shock expression, then she laughs to herself. "Oh. My. God. You think you're not good enough for him?! Jackie, Marco has always thought and stills think that he is way out of your league!"
"That is not what I meant," Janna stops laughing and looked at Jackie confuse. Jackie began to explain herself, "Him and Star were happy with each other, like their souls were bounded together. When he talks about the adventures he had with her and how they had each other backs, he would talk about which such joy and there is a light in his eyes." Jackie stood up. "Look at me, I am the 'cool' girl of the school who can skate, but Star is a magical princess who took Marco dimension hopping and monster fighting, I can only take him skating." Jackie than lay on Janna's bed and look at her ceiling. "Now that he has powers, what if he gets bored of me?"
Janna looks at Jackie, and all the years than known each other Janna has never seen Jackie with low self-esteem. "Jackie, Marco doesn't like you because you're fun and can skate. He likes you because your you." Janna ponder on what to say next since she is not use to comforting people. "You're not Star, but neither is me or Marco. You don't have be as exciting as Star so Marco can stay with you because he really likes you, and would never get bored of you."
Janna sat up and smiled at her friend, "Thanks Janna."
Both girls smiled at each other, but their mutual silence was interrupted by a familiar swooshing sound and wind throwing papers up in the air.
"Sheez Marco we talked about thi-" Janna didn't finish her sentence when he saw a badly bruised Marco lying down next to her wall, "Oh shit."
Both girls dash to him, Jackie lift up Marco head, "Marco what happened!?" Marco was slipping in and out of consciousness. "Marco!"
1 Hour Later.
Marco was lying on Janna's bed, with bandages and ice packs on his right hand and stomach. With little to no medical experience, all three can only do is wait until Marco's cellular regeneration to fully heal him, but base on the extend of his injuries it may take a few hours.
"Well that went better than expected," Marco trying bring humor into the silent room.
"So what? The robbers got the drop on you?" Janna wanting to know what exactly happen.
"No," Marco slightly shifted to get a better view of Jackie and Janna and gave them a smile, "I knocked out the first two real quick."
"But happened?" asked Jackie while she replaced his dirty bandages with new ones.
"The third robber, when I went to give him a speedster punch his skin turn to metal."
"That's so cool!" Jackie look at Janna with a scowled, "Not cool," Janna quickly responded.
"It broke my hand and then he kick me to the wall with his metal foot. I manage to muster what is left of my strength to come back before the cops came."
"Good thing to, you probably would have been outed," Jackie finish putting on his new bandages, "So, that's it? No more being a hero."
Marco stayed silent, thinking to himself. He said that if this goes wrong he wasn't going to continue this, however he had to admit he did enjoy when he stopped the first two robbers. But besides that, there is a metahuman with metal skin out there abusing his power and hurting innocent people, that he can not let go.
"No, I need to this."
The girls look at him with bewildered faces, "But you said-"
"I know," Marco interrupted Janna, "But if there are more metahumans out there who are using their powers for evil the cops won't be able to stand a chance and innocent people would get hurt." Marco slowly began to sit up. "I know I got a beating today, but I'm the only one that have a chance in stopping them. Plus stopping a few crimes along would be a service to my community." Janna and Jackie look at Marco, unsure if he would able to do this. "But I am not doing it without you guys."
"Us?" asked Janna for both her and Jackie.
"We started this together and I can't imagine doing this alone."
Janna didn't take much convincing, "Hell yeah I'm in. We'll teach that metal butt what happens when you mess with this squad!" Jackie however was deep in thoughts.
"Jackie?" Jackie looked at her bruised boyfriend, "What to do you say?"
Jackie thought about it. Knowing Marco, if she say that he shouldn't do it than he'll respect her wishes and stop. However, Jackie thought about the conversation she had with Janna earlier, if Marco has the potential to save people and stop others like him she doesn't want to be the one to hold him back because its dangerous. Star wouldn't.
Jackie gave him a small smile, "Let's give them hell."
Marco smiles at her answer, "Then it is decided then." Marco looks at his torn outfit. "I'm going to need a better outfit, my hoodie can't handle my speed."
"Leave that to me," Jackie proclaim. "After budget cuts at S.T.A.R. Labs they couldn't afford to store a lot of their things so my dad had to take some his inventions home and locked them up in our garage. There is a few things in their that I know we can use."
Janna grins at Jackie, "Stealing from your parents. You make me so proud." Janna looks around her room and a new problem came to mind. "But we're going to need a base of operations. My room is way too small for this."
Marco thought for a while when he came up with something. "I think I know just the place."
Here it is, my new chapter, yay. The gang has decided that Marco should use his powers to save people and stop others his like him, but what dangers and adventures wait for him? Meanwhile Star continues to train with her mother to save Glossaryck and stop Ludo once and for all. However, she can't shake off a feeling that her mother isn't telling the whole truth in why Moon is helping her. As always leave behind some feedback, and until next, bye!
