Chapter 2
 Dad Finds Out

A simple day, well not exactly. But Hero class hadn't been as bad as I thought. Dinner had been fine, Mom cooked a big dinner for us, seeing as I had "gone up with impressive stats" not that I had any idea what that meant. As for now, I was sitting in my room, working on my homework, when my name was screamed up the stairs. By my dad. Did I know what was going on? Nope.

"ZACHARY NICHOLAS BRAUN!" My father screamed up the stairs, "DOWNSTAIRS NOW!"

I walked down the stairs, "Whatever it is. I didn't do it." Then I thought to myself, 'What have I done today? Transferred to Hero Class… Beat the crap out of Lash… Oh shit…'

I was standing at the bottom of the stairs that led to our living room, and I saw what I had been dreading, Lash, sitting on my couch. And his father, sitting in my chair. I was kind of ready for anything. Okay, I lied. I was so scared of what Dad was going to do, that I think I was glowing. Which I never do unintentionally… I sat down on the couch, acting like I had no idea of what was going on.

Lash looked at me and wanted to say something, but didn't. That was probably because his dear father was sitting right there with us. Actually, I knew that was what it was. I wanted to say something too, but the shade of red on my father's face made me do otherwise. Otherwise contained of sitting on my butt and not speaking unless spoken to.

My father sat in the other chair in the living room. "Zach. Would you like to tell us something involving Lash here?"

I thought for a minute, then decided what I would say, "What is there I can tell you? He's a bully, he'd pick on me all the time when I was a sidekick, and he's jealous that I'm a sophomore with better powers." I said, leaning back on the couch.

Lash looked at me with his mouth hanging open, "Me? Jealous of you?" He laughed, "That's great."

"So you make fun of sidekicks because you have no other life?"

"Sidekicks are a disgrace to Sky High and should have to go to another school!"

"That doesn't give you the right to insult them."

"I believe it does. If you want to purify the school you have to do something about it."

"Why purify? It's pointless. Because I'm going to laugh if you die in a battle because you didn't have a sidekick to save your stretchable ass!" I seemed to have forgotten my father was there he hated swearing. He didn't say anything though he let us keep going.

"At least my ass looks good!"

"Well, why are you checking yourself out? Gay are you? I knew you were always gay for that fat piece of lard Speed. And the only reason I outran him today, was because I'm in shape, and he has at least 500 pounds of excess fat." My face turned pale, 'Oh shit…'

My father jumped in, "Now, why did you have to outrun this 'Speed' person?" He knew what had happened, but he was giving me a chance to say it myself.

'To lie, or not to lie. That is the question…' I thought to myself, 'Lying it is.' I took a deep breath; "I had to out run Speed today because him and Lash were bullying me, calling me the Human Glow Worm. And saying that I'd never support any hero because glowing isn't that great a power." I actually held back a smirk for once, "And then Lash tripped me, causing Speed to try and grab me, so that he could dunk me. And that's when I had to out run him." Everyone who went to Sky High knew what dunking was, the 'human' term was 'swirly' but at Sky High it was called dunking.

My dad looked at Lash, "You were going to dunk my son?" His eyes glowed with anger.

"No." Lash said, a look of true honesty appeared on his face, much unlike the one on mine.

Lash's father was a quiet guy, much unlike his own son. He spoke for the first time since I entered the living room, "Tell your side Lash."

"Yes Dad." Lash said staying where he was and began to tell the story. "As you both know, Zach has newfound powers, strength and speed, I of course didn't know this when I was at my locker with Speed and saw him coming. So I thought 'What can he do? A little verbal torment won't hurt anyone… Much' And so I said it 'Hey Human Glow Worm, why aren't you in Hero Support?' And Speed and me laughed, seeing as it wasn't very often that you see a sidekick roaming the halls without a mob. I decided to torment him." He paused at a look of anger from my dad, "But nothing like dunking." He added before moving on with his story, "So I decided to stretch my arm out and trip him. It didn't work, he was too quick, and he grabbed my arm and slammed me into the lockers. I guess it was revenge for all the times I shoved him into a locker and he got out because he was glowing… But that's another story. He then began running to get away from us, and he was going a little slower than Speed usually does, so Speed ran after him, and he sped up, going 5 times Speed's speed. And then he went into the principal's office before we could do anything else."

My father's glare turned to me, "You slammed him into a locker!"

My eyes grew wide, "Not like, shoved him in…" I said.

"He grabbed my arm, flung me over his head and I landed on the lockers. Quite painful." Lash stated.

My father shook his head.

I knew exactly what he was thinking, 'The day my son gets good powers he abuses them…' His thoughts I was sure. But I needed to defend myself, because I knew that if Lash had succeeded in tripping me, Speed would have picked me up and dunked me. And I couldn't let that happen. I mean heroes don't get dunked! It was Sky High tradition!

I didn't say anything; I just glared at Lash, a bit annoyed with him. Well, not a bit, but I was ready to brutally murder him once our fathers left the room.

My father simply looked at me, he didn't have to say anything. I knew what he meant, I walked up to my room, well, actually ran at full speed up to my room, and sat there.

As I sat there I heard my father talking to Lash's dad, and Lash, "I'm so sorry about Zach's behavior, he's usually not like that. His newfound powers must've given him a big ego."

Lash's father spoke next, "Not a problem, we'll just have to keep our eyes out so it doesn't happen again."

I sat on my bed, being able to hear everything they said, "Or train your son not to be a fucking asshole." I muttered. I ran down the stairs and out the front door, glowing now since it was dark out. I ran to Will's house and rang the doorbell.

He answered, "Zach? Don't you live like… 5 miles away, how'd you get here?"

I shrugged, "I ran…"

"Oh yeah. You have super-speed now. Come on in, parents are out saving the world."

I stepped in and we both sat on his couch, "My dear father has Lash at my house."

"Lash the stretching kid? The one that is always a bully to us?"

"Yeah. That Lash."

"Why is he at your house?"

That's when I decided to tell Will the story, "When I was going to Principal Powers' office, him and Speed were kind of standing in the hallway, they started some crap with me, and I slammed Lash into a locker, then out ran Speed. That happens to be the short version."

"So now Lash is at your house… Because your dad is trying to find out why you slammed him into a locker?"

"He found out why. And is now mad at me. He thinks I'm in my room."

"Wait… you climbed out your window to get here?"

"No. I ran so fast past the living room that no one noticed I had left."

"That's a good way to get away from certain people."

I looked around, I thought I heard something, "Will. Did you hear footsteps?"

Will listened, "Actually… Yes. They're coming from the front yard."

I walked to the window and looked, "It's Lash!"

"It's what?"

"Lash!"

"What is he doing here?"

"My dad probably sent him to look for me."

"Stay here, and do NOT glow." Will said to me, knowing that if I started glowing I'd be given away instantly.

I listened to Will and went back to the couch. Staying there, and not glowing.

Will walked out to the front yard and looked at Lash, "Get off my property you scum!"
