Chapter 8: Stubborn
This is the part where I'm supposed to do the whole intro thing . . . ya know that right? Drake Young, story of how I became the greatest hero ever. On Sunday the afternoon, I decided to sneak out at 3 while Mom and Dad were watching the game along with Donnie. I decided to do a little secretive heroics while I'm sorta bored. I clicked a device on my left ear that I made.
"Yo, Noah!" I said on the COMs Noah made. "Can you hear me?"
"Noah here speaking, yo!" I silently chuckled as I scanned around the city. "So, dude how long do you want to do this?
"Probably until it starts getting late at night. Anything I can go for?"
"Checking..." I waited for a moment until Noah cheered, "Got it! Car chase located not so far from here!"
"Got it!" Already I heard a speeding car driving by my neighborhood, "As a matter of fact I hear it right now!" I then went ahead with the car chase, seems that the police weren't here. Either they were just too slow, or they were taking a few donuts! No matter. I can deal with these guys all on my own!
I jumped from rooftop to rooftop until I was able to get a land on the front of the criminal's front hood. "Yo!" I can already tell by the yell they made; they were entirely freaked out. So much so that they were dumb enough to drive through a wall, stopping their car.
"Wha-oh! Looks like your car got towed, hahahaha!" Not long I head the near distance of the sirens themselves, "And speak of the devil, the one time is here. Later dweebs!" I quickly jumped up to the roof of the building they crashed their car on, before the cops came by.
"So, how did it go?"
"Pretty hilarious! You should've seen the looks on their faces."
"I know!" I heard Noah's laughs on COM, "I was dying too. Next one is a robbery by…...Mcdonalds."
"MCDONALDS! Are you serious?" I yelled in shock and frowned, "Alright here I go."
"Uh, have we ever had time to determine whether or not, you're bulletproof?"
"Uh..." I checked around my body hoping to see if this parasite is bulletproof. "Hope so…...I guess." Whenever I say I guess It means that there's a 90% chance I am screwed.
I checked the Mcdonalds by our place and saw the robbery, it was only the one who checksout the money while two people I assumed was the people who is robbing the place. I quickly made an interesting opening when I sped into the entrance door and kicked the first one down. I then grabbed his gun and broke it to two.
"No guns allowed in restaurants." I said the first robber. The second one flew into me with a knife it was shocking and funny that the knife shattered when it hit my chest. I then punched him down on the ground. I looked up to the shop owner who seems terrified, I can't say I blame him.
"Hey, you alright?" I said, still having my distorted voice.
"Y-y-yeah, j-j-just doing f-f-fine." He stuttered a bit and I don't blame him, anyone who has seen someone like me would have been completely out of their minds.
"It's okay. Ya don't have to be afraid of me. Just when the cops come by tell them that you knocked them up. Don't mention me, ok. Chau!" I then made my way towards the exit and spoke through the COMs. "So yeah. I'm bulletproff."
"Sweet!
"Anything else?"
"Uh…. Oh, hey! An ambulance is having trouble with retrieving a married wife with a heart!"
"On my way!"
I checked out the traffic around the highway and saw the ambulance that Noah said it was at. I got in and explained everything to the people. They were confused but eventually allowed me to bring the heart to the dying woman to the hospital near the central hospital and quickly gave it to her. When the results said that she was alright, the woman came up to me, she hugged me tightly.
"Thank you so much!"
"No problem!" I quickly made my way out of the hospital before anyone dared to take a picture of me. "What else you got for me?"
The COMs were then suddenly jammed by another, "Drake, it's Nicole."
Oh no….
"Hey Nic," I laughed playfully trying to play dumb. "How's the day going?"
"We'll speak about this tomorrow!" She ordered like a mom ordering their kid.
"Kay! Noah we're calling this a night."
"Oh okay. I'll see you back in the house. Noah then shuts off his computer as I eventually arrived back.
"Have you lost your mind?" Nicole snapped at my ear, "Who the hell do you think you are?" I was just sitting on top of my desk as she barked in front of my face. We were all in the cavern of Mrs. D's classroom. I had to arrive early and this is what happens.
"Well, I'm the superhero." I said, innocently.
"This isn't funny!" She said back annoyed, "You're not a superhero! You can't be doing all of this."
"But I thought this was about me using my powers to do good!" I said, trying to see what the big deal was.
"We talked about you trying to control tour powers so you can be normal-"
"But I don't want to be normal! I actually kinda like having strength and speed! People in this city still need help. And you know I'm right. I can help them and you two should be helping me and Noah do this."
"I think what Nicole is trying to say is that we are all just beginning to understand what capability your body now has." Mrs. D said calmly, "And not to sound like a harsh mom bit I caution restraint. Know your limits, Drake before they eventually kill you."
The bell eventually rung as Nicole sighed, she then glared at me, "Don't expect us to heal you every time you die or something." She warned before storming away and I sighed.
"Yes mom." I said sarcastically.
English was okay, even though the whole story of the prom ghost girl was interesting, even making me want to go into mythology class in the future. Same with every single class. I won't be telling you about every detail on each day because that would be a little boring, so we'll skip to Lunch time. I catched up with Noah and asked him that we needed to talk alone. Noah and I discussed on the whole me training thing.
"So, then she said, "Don't expect us to patch you up when ya get injured!" I'm like ok whatever Mom."
"Wow, she sounds very harsh."
"I know! I didn't even do anything wrong, all we did was try and save a few people like heroes are supposed to do."
"Hmm," I noticed Noah already digging his teeth into his sandwich. He looked up at me and spoke while accidently spitting out a few foods out his mouth. Gross. "So…. are we goin to be doin moe missans?"
"Dude first off all swallow your mouth for goodness sake," I waited until Noah swallowed his food before continuing, "Second of all I might think about it."
Noah nodded before looked up and his face became full of shock and excitement. "Oh shit! Dude, look." I turned around to see the TV screen where I saw the news reporter, Charlotte displaying images of me or my newly alter ego of course.
Noah and I watched as the blonde spoke out, "Reports of a couple of heroic acts in Fremont-!"
"We made it to the news?!" I said, my heart beating with excitement. Even though we did not get on public yet.
"As the question remains as to who is this responsible for these acts? What are their intentions? And most importantly, Are the Justice League back?"
"So, the mighty have risen." We heard Maddie's voice speak as we turned around to see her and Key sit next to us with their lunches. "Although the news of this mystery acts interest me, I don't think it's possible that the heroes have returned."
Noah and I widened our eyes at her saying on this, "But anything could be possible."
Key takes out a bottle of a Gatorade and opens it, "And how do you know that?" She then takes a sip of her drink while facing us.
"Because…..."
"Hmm-mm. Nothing"
"But that doesn't mean that there's chance a new hero could rise and fill up on what the Justice League have started."
"One, wouldn't they be doing that now instead of leaving us for a decade? And two….. you're not a hero, are you?
I widened my expression awkwardly even choking on my food, so did Noah, "No, I certainly am not! Why would you think something like that?"
"Yeah, he's a weak hormonal nerd!" I smacked Noah's arm hard in response, "Ow! I mean he's just... weak! I-I-I mean he's skinny." He let out a playful laugh.
"Yeah…I'm…sooooo skinny."
"Very skinny."
Don't use "very" Noah, you'll never woo Maddie like that, "I'm a frail human being girls, remember that."
"Yeah, my thoughts exactly," Keyanna sighed, "Look if this hero you say exists then he or she should prove it."
"Prove what?"
"That, heroes exist again!" Keyanna shouted, "And if they are then I'll be damned, they should have existed year ago." She muttered as we all continued to eat our lunch. We decided to talk about another topic besides Superheros. When the bell rung and Noah and I went to our flextime, we both had the exact same look of concern and the same thought we had on our minds.
"What was that about?"
