"Ah, my first job here!" A young Ray smiled, relaxed on his chair.
This is 20 years old Ray, ever since his father is gone. He wanna go and save the city all by himself. He was lost, he was kicked out of his home due to his missing father. No wonder where he is now.
On that day, he was moving a box from his room to the truck, he heard a scream from someone that their items are stolen. Ray dropped his things and managed to catch up with the robber and arrest him. He brings his stuff back to a nice man, his name was Gooch.
Gooch was thankful to Ray, then he told him that he could be here.
Ray was uneasy about it, he doesn't know if Gooch can keep his secret, he told him quietly that he is indestructible. Gooch laughed at first as Ray give him heavy stuff and demand to hit Ray on the head. When Gooch does that, he feels okay.
Gooch was shaken, which he have an idea since Gooch is carried all of his junky stuff. He pointed to an empty store where Ray can stay undercover. Superhero in the basement and regular store upstairs. Ray loves it immediately and is ready to fix that, don't forget Schwoz, Ray hated him before and told him never to come back.
Then the alarm rang out the Man Cave, making young Ray scream.
"What's the emergency!?" Ray wondered, fulfilling with excitement.
"The house is on fire, I will send you a location! Hurry!" Gooch exited the call as Ray popped his mouth, chewing his first gum.
Ray blew it, changing himself into a Captain Man. He went to the tube and call out as the tube sucks up.
He drove like a mad man since he doesn't have a driver's license. Ray arrived to see the house was almost in ashes, people are screaming outside in the crowd for attention.
"I was too late..." He whispered, then a small faint of cries was heard. He can't hear due to the crowd muttering and yelling.
"Shut up! I heard something."
The crowd paused, the silence was in the air until there's another small cry. The crowd gasped as Ray follows the sound inside the house. He was burning but he was just okay. He kept following the sound and moving the things quickly before the house can burn them. Ray heard a loud cry, he was close. He went to the room, almost completely in ashes, he rushed to where it was.
He saw a baby carrier, his heart is wreaked to see like this. A loud rumble indicates that the house is going to fall at any minute. Ray ran and carry the baby, he took a peek, there was a baby there, she is alright.
The rumble shook them, more fire around Ray and the baby. Ray was praying to find an escape, unfortunately, nothing there. He was trapped with a baby, his only decision is to cover himself.
The house breaks down, rumbling and crumbling into ashes. People were silent and worried that the new hero had fallen.
He moves a broken wood off of him as he carries the baby carefully. He took a look, the baby is fine. Ray took a relief, carrying the baby to the crowd, they didn't want or were unsure about it. Ray cursed as the baby laughed, making Ray smile in return.
"Well, I'm going to take this to someone I know." He lied, fleeing from the scene. People were bombed with questions that a new hero had appeared in the name of the small town of Swellview.
Ray kept looking for a good house, none of the people want her. Ray can't keep her cause one, he's too young, two, he's a manchild, and three, that would take an enormous responsibility. Ray knew one thing he hates, leaving her on the doorstep for someone. He doesn't like her getting abandoned.
So, he left the baby on the doorstep and ring the door, he ran away before someone could catch him.
And that is what Ray sees, he could tell about Charlotte's features that were almost similar when he rescued that baby.
A door opened, showing a young Drex, he seems depressed lately cause of a breakup with an evil girlfriend who has no care for Bianca. They make mistakes so he was stressed and regret about that. He looks around and when he was about to close the door, the baby cried. Drex looks down and sighed. Maybe keeping for 2 is better, however with more stress. He take it with him and later named Charlotte.
Ray and Drex later became friends when Drex saw the first job as a sidekick. Drex became jealous and wants himself to be a hero, Ray has no trust in him because he has no heart. Drex quit his job and turned evil, he wanted to train his children to become a villain.
And he did, that's what he did. Drex is proud of its training. One day, Drex came back into the hideout and sees Bianca and Charlotte almost out of breath, strangling each other with a rope. Drex stopped them, he hated to see his girls hurt, he demanded that Bianca will stays in her room while Charlotte roams free. There are 6 at a time, they both have no memory of having siblings like that. Drex talked to Bianca about it, she can roam free like Charlotte with his permission. Bianca accepted it and got jealous cause she thinks that Drex's favorite is Charlotte.
(PRESENT)
Charlotte woke up from her sleep, it was just a nightmare. She tried to imagine again but to no avail. She saw herself as a baby, fire is surrounded and she saw that young man's face with no burning marks or injuries.
Is this real? Is this about the past? She groaned at the timer, 04:59, great what could she do now? Go to sleep, yeah maybe that.
She did go to sleep within a minute, hoping for a sweet dream about her and Henry in love in paradise.
