"All right," I asked, sitting on Warren's bed, " What?"
Warren made sure that his mom wasn't around and that his window was closed. It was odd. Warren hardly cared what people thought of him, he didn't care if he got in trouble.
"Its about my dad," he said, finally sitting down.
"What?"
"You know I had to stay after school the other day,"
"Burnt a hole through somebody's locker again?"
"Yeah, well anyways, once Powers was done yelling at me, I took a look at the pictures of the top students next to her office door. Under the picture, they showed what they were famous for."
"Get to the point Warren!"
"There was this one guy, a real goody goody, and under his picture-"
Warren reached under the bed and picked up a rectangular object, it was a picture frame. Handing it to me, he said
"Read it"
So I read it. The picture was of a big strong man, hands on hips. He looked like Super Man right after he saves the city. Warren was right, he was a goody goody.
Under the picture, engraved in bronze were the words:
THE COMMANDER:
DEFETED:
Royal Pain
The Cannon
Sierra
Colpiz
Storm's Vengeance
Bloodflame
MARRIED TO FELLOW STUDENT JETSTREAM
Over and over I read the plaque. The list of villains this "Commander" guy had sent to jail. Most heroes these days didn't even this many enemies. But that wasn't even close the biggest surprise.
"Bloodflame," Warren said sadly, "that was my dad"
But I only half realized that Warren was talking.
"Just before I left, Powers got a call, it sounds like the Commander's kid is coming to Sky High next year."
Now I looked up. I was so furious at the Commander right now that…. Well, I didn't know what to do with myself.
" When that punk kid comes to school," Warren continued, "He's gonna wish he'd never been born."
I felt myself stand up.
"I don't think he's even going to make it to school. Not if I can help it" I said
"Don't worry, I've got a plan."
"What?"
"with the help of two people I like to call Mr. And Mrs. Stronghold."
"No way!" I gasped, " I live like across the street from the Strongholds!"
"I know."
I was so happy. My revenge could come so quickly, and Warren would help! This was so perfect. I couldn't say anything I just sat down on the bed again and kissed Warren Peace. On the lips.
