A/N: Review please!

Chapter 4
Save The Citizen

Gym class, the horrors could only begin to be mentioned. My plan was starting off the way I wanted it to. Lash and Speed were paired up, and had chosen to be villains. And Coach Boomer was having them pick their heroes. The choices were predictable, "Stronghold and Glow Worm." Will and I walked down from the bleachers and stood across from Lash and Speed. I had told Will my plan earlier, and he agreed with it completely.

Coach Boomer began to talk, "Alright, I believe you all know the rules. But Stronghold, Braun, you 2 have to immobilize Marshall and Davis, and then save the citizen from the chopping thing. Got it?" He blew his whistle. "Go!"

I ran over to Lash and tossed him in the air causing him to fall to the ground, he was shaking a little, from being tossed by a sophomore, but I took this opportunity to stretch him out and tie his legs to the pole, and his arms to Boomer's chair. Will had tossed Speed into the bleachers, and he was stunned for a little bit. I ran over and started punching him, while Will flew over and saved the citizen. We had won the game in 25 seconds. Thanks to 'The Braun Plan' as everyone was calling it.

Even Coach Boomer was impressed, it wasn't often that 2 sophomores defeated 2 seniors in Save the Citizen. And Will and I had done it.

Lash was trying to get off of the pole, and I was hesitant to get him off. But Will had already helped Speed up and had brought him over to the bleachers. I began walking over to the bleachers when Coach Boomer blew his whistle at me, "Braun! Let Marshall down." All the sidekicks were laughing, they loved seeing Lash stuck to the pole. Him and Speed had been their main cause of torment ever since their term at Sky High began.

As I untied Lash and he whispered to me, "I'm going to get you for this Glow Worm."

I let him fall to the ground, and whispered back, "It's just a game." I walked over to the bleachers and sat with Erika, Layla, Will, and the rest of the sophomore sidekicks.

Will looked at me, smirking, "Were you really going to leave him there?"

"Yes." I said, nodding my head. "He's a jerk, he should've had to stay stretched out like that."

Layla shook her head, "You are so mean Zach."

"Remember last night? Lash totally deserved it!" Erika said, laughing. Another group of 4 went and played. The people were Warren, Larry, this kid that could shape shift into a dragon, and a kid that could turn into anyone he wanted to.

We ignored the game and kept talking. But we were interrupted. By Lash, "You know I'm going to get you for this right Braun?"

"Try it."

"Oh, I will. And by trying I will succeed."

"Yeah right!" Erika said, "Zach kicked your ass in Save the Citizen, and he could probably kick your ass in other things too!"

"Braun, I see you have your one-person fan club." Lash said, snickering.

I tried to hold back, not wanting to get myself in trouble, but, as usual, holding back didn't work, "Shut up Lash. My dad may believe everything you say, even if it is a lie. But that doesn't give you the right to mess with my friends." I glared at him, "So shut the hell up before I kick your stretchable ass in Save the Citizen again."

"What is your obsession with my stretchable ass?"

"No obsession. You just need to shut the fuck up and get away from me before I get pissed off."

"Or what?"

"You know what."

"Yeah. Sure I do."

Gym ended, and I was now more pissed off than I have ever been in my entire life. Will, me, and the rest of the hero class walked to Mr. Medulla's room. Ready to create lightning rays. I handed Mr. Medulla my theory assignment and began working on creating the lightning ray with Will.

Throughout the whole class people would come back to us, acting like they were asking for help. Only they were truly congratulating us on our win against Lash and Speed. Personally I didn't think it was a big deal, I was just glad that I had beaten Lash.

Will and I completed our lightning ray, and as we waited for Mr. Medulla to come check it we talked.

"You think he'll make this more than it is?"

"Do you think I know?" I asked, leaning back in my chair.

"Good point. He's… unpredictable when it comes to this stuff. But so predictable when it comes to bullying."

"Yeah… Otherwise I would have handled it by now."

We were interrupted by the door opening, it was Lash, "Mr. Medulla, Principal Powers would like the Glow- Zach Braun in her office."

Mr. Medulla looked at me, "Go on."

I looked at Will, "Yeah right." I whispered, but I left anyway. Of course, wherever Lash was, Speed wasn't that far away. "What do you want?" I asked them, wanting to get back to class.

Speed laughed, "What do you think we want Glow Worm?"

"By the fact that you seem to be acting as if I don't have super strength I'm thinking that you want me to beat the crap out of you again."

Lash shook his head, "You wouldn't." He said, shrugging, "You don't have the courage to face your dad again."

I hated to even think this, but Lash was right. I really didn't want to deal with my dad again. "Hit me." I said, seeing if he would bring himself to it.

I realized, bad idea. For Lash did bring himself to it, and punched me in the stomach, shoving me into the nearest locker. I, of course, was glowing and ripped off the locker door, then shoving it into the locker, and bolting away from it, "Forget something?" I asked, laughing.

Lash glared at me. "You are so dead."

"If you can figure out a way of trapping or hurting me with out me getting out or hurting you back, then go for it."

Speed bolted towards me. After he ran for a few seconds I began to bolt, around the school and back to Mr. Medulla's door. I walked in, and went back to my table with Will.

"What was that all about?"

I smirked, "Lash tried to beat the crap out of me and put me in a locker."

"He put a kid with super-strength in a locker…"

"Yes. And he thought that it would have an effect."

"No one ever called Lash brilliant."

"That's true…"

We walked out of class, laughing. Will flew Layla and I home, as always, and I found something kind of bad waiting outside my house. Lash.

Reviewers ((Sorry my e-mail is messed so I don't have names)):
Person #1: I know, I realized that Zach should have a different power AFTER I published Chapter 1. And I couldn't change it then!

Everyone else: Thanks for reviewing!
