Chapter 39: They're Alive

Well compared to the awesome experience of my first all-star superhero team mission, the past week hasn't really been that eventful. No new super villains to speak of, no new evidence of Toxin trying to regain power of gang territory again, but of course that just means that something bad is going to happen on both fronts involving those two. However, I've got other things to think about now, like being forced to decide which costume I prefer out of Alex or Steph's.

''Come on!'' Alex muttered trying to swing my vote to him.

''Sorry Alex, but not only is Steph's better made. I do prefer One Piece over Naruto!'' I answered for him, earning a grunt off Alex who decided to take his revenge by slapping Steph across the head causing his hat to fall off.

In case you're wondering, no we're not in our actual costumes. But in the costumes of three of the most well-known anime heroes of all time for the 2011 Film and Comic con in England. Steph went as Luffy, Alex was Naruto himself, and I was the number one hero Goku (so that automatically means my costume was the best of the lot).

''So what time does the train leave again?'' Alex asked.

''In 20 minutes!'' Rachael said as she entered the room in her costume, Sailor Moon, another famous anime hero. My knees instantly felt weak seeing her dressed up like that, she looked amazing dress up in a costume, not that I'm trying to hint at anything. And I was the only one who approved…

Alex whispered din my ear, ''Hey Thomas I know she's your girlfriend, but can I make a comment?''

''No'', I told him bluntly.

''Would have thought you would have put on the other costumes'', Rachael said to us.

''Where's the fun in that? We dress up like that every other night!'' I replied.

''Speaking of which…'' Steph cut in, ''I need to talk to Stella about changing it, I think I'm getting to big for it''.

''Getting a little tubby around there'', Alex mocked and chuckled. Steph didn't take that lying back, and slapped his brother across the head making his wig fall to the ground.

''Aww, you're having a growth spurt'', Rachael said to him causing him to blush.

''Don't get too happy!'' Alex muttered bitterly while putting his wig back on.

''What's up with you?'' I asked.

''Nothing…I just…tell them Rachael!''

Rachael looked at him surprised like he wasn't himself, but spoke up for him anyway, ''The other day Alex went up to Chloe while we were talking to ask her out''.

My eyebrows shot up instantly, ''He finally asked! So what did she say?''

''Well…she couldn't really say anything…on a count of Alex not saying anything to begin with, before running off!''

Now I was looking at Alex like he wasn't himself. He sighed in frustration and decided to speak for himself now, ''I panicked okay! I was going to ask her out…but the words…just…didn't come out! I froze up!'' His voice broke a couple of times while he was speaking.

''You froze up? This is you we're talking about!'' I told him.

''I know, I know, I don't know what happened. I've talked to her before, but when I tried the other day I…I…I just I just I just I just…'' The words were stuck in his throat at the moment, he was too shy to even talk about it to us. I can't believe I'm actually seeing a shy side to my best friend/other brother who for years has always had this corny smooth talking way with girls…that's when I figured it out.

''No way…'' I gasped.

''No way what?''

''She's not a crush…''

''Don't say it!'' He interrupted knowing what path I was on.

''You don't like her…''

''Shut up!''

''You love her!''

Alex turned around and covered his ears, ''I'm not listening, la, la, la, la!'' He went on for about a minute or so like that until he couldn't speak or shout anymore.

''Aw, our kids are growing up'', Rachael said.

Alex couldn't be bothered to argue with us anymore. Wow, who would have thought this? Certainly not me, guess I have to re-think the whole Alex and Chloe thing, he looks like he could use some help. Then again, this is me we're talking about, like I didn't have my own problems trying to start my love life.

''Besides…'' Alex mumbled, ''After the way I acted, she probably thinks I'm some idiot anyway''.

''Oh really?'' Rachael teased drawing his attention, ''After you left she did ask me if I knew who that cute kid was''.

Alex gulped a couple of times, ''Really?'' He gasped.

I think that a hopeful Alex is more tolerable than a depressed one, because I wasn't nearly as annoyed on the train to the con as I originally thought I was going to be. Alex still kept up hope that maybe there was a chance, but every time he thought about it he would freeze up, even I wasn't that bad with girls before Rachael.

We stopped off for a quick lunch before finally arriving at our destination, jam packed with people all dressed up and on the lookout for any celebrities they could find. Now there are quite a few here that I would be hoping to see; a few anime voice actors here and there, as well as Christopher Lloyd aka Doc from Back to the Future! The Hellrasier actors, actors from the old Star Wars films and probably dozens more…but there was another cast that I was eager to meet.

''So Thomas, ready to meet Omega Kid?'' Alex teased and patted me on the back. Yes, the main cast of the Omega Kid series was here to promote the show. I know that I have my mixed opinions on it, but I have to lend my support to it for helping to spread the word of good and justice…not the mention the chance for Logan Lerman to sign my Percy Jackson books if I'm nice enough.

''Aren't you lot coming?'' I asked them.

''We'll catch up with you!'' The brothers shouted as they journeyed the other way and got lost amidst the crowds of people in costumes.

''I'm heading to the sales section, see you in a bit!'' Rachael said as she quickly kissed me before going her own way.

So looks like it was me on my own now, in a large building with everyone dressed up in all manners of costumes…and I had absolutely no clue where the cast of Omega Kid where set to be. I made my way around taking in all the sights, and you know the coolest feeling I got so far? People around me dressed up as Omega Kid and the others! I never would have thought that a year on from starting this people would start dressing up as me; I just thought I would fit in with the large population of superheroes in the world. Hold on, if they're dressed as Omega Kids, they have to be heading where I'm heading.

Not an easy task, maybe going down one flight of stairs, I've lost sight of every kid that was dressed as Omega Kid. Back to root one again, I just had another look around seeing more superheroes than before, so I had to be hot on the trail. I got stopped a few times to take pictures with other people dressed up as Goku and couldn't help myself with wanting to help out others who were dressed as Omega Kid or another superhero I know.

''Hey look who's trying to mingle with the crowd!'' Why am I not surprised to hear Kevin's voice, and too turn around and see him dressed in the same Omega Kid costume he used to convince the world I'm not the real Omega Kid. It still creeps me out how much he made it to look like me.

''Hey Kevin!'' I greeted, remembering that I promised to be friends with him for helping me out, ''You heading to the Omega Kid series thing too?''

He laughed his head off, followed by his minions around, ''Like I would support that disgrace of a show''.

''It wasn't that bad'', I defended.

''Please, they got everything wrong. Not to mention they put the kid who ruined Percy Jackson in it!''

''What? He was good as Percy Jackson too! Wait, so then what are you doing here?''

''Oh, I'm planning an expansion of the fan club. Figured this would be the best place to start it off. Speaking of which, trivia time!''

''Okay, hit me!''

He clapped his hands together and started thinking, ''Here's one, how many sidekicks does Omega Kid have?''

I know I should lie to better hide my identity, but I know he still want tell me the right answer so I'm honest with him, ''Five''.

''Sorry mate, 39!''

''WHAT?''

''I know it's a bit of a shock at first, but that's what happens when you deal with the awesomeness of Omega Kid. Anyway, catch you later!'' He waved and started walking off with his group following.

''Wait, how close am I to the Omega Kid cast meeting?'' I quickly asked.

''Oh so that is where you're heading…'' He pointed behind me, ''It's back on the other side of the facility!''

''Ah damn it!'' I grunted. By the time I get there, the cast would have died of old age. Maybe I should have stayed with the others; I'm starting to get bored out of my skin now.

''39?'' Someone called out and moved closer to me, ''I don't think I've ever seen Omega Kid what that many around him!'' It was a guy maybe in his early 20's.

''Yeah, but he's Omega Kid's number one fan!'' I tried to sound convincing.

''And you?'' The person asked me.

''I'm a fan…I'm also Thomas!'' I held out my hand and he shook it.

''Harry Dunn!'' He responded and then pointed at my costume, ''I know…eh…Gohan?''

''Actually Goku, but close…where's your costume?'' I asked him. He was just in ordinary clothes you see when you walk down the street as far as I could tell.

''I'm Wesley Gibson…from Wanted!'' He answered.

''Oh yeah, yeah I notice now. So…you with anyone?''

''Not really, you?''

''Some friends and my girlfriend, but they're off somewhere else. I'm just trying to find the Omega Kid cast meeting''.

''Oh I just came from there, you want me to show you the way?'' He offered.

''Yeah thanks!''

''So that Omega Kid challenge thing he does with you happens all the time?''

''Pretty much''.

''And the other questions he's asked''.

''Trust me, you don't want to know!'' I told Harry. He turned out to be a swell guy. He's got some bankers job in Central London and likes to come to Comic con's to check up on the latest movies and stuff. And he turns out to be a big Omega Kid fan…although that normally leads me to being placed in dire peril soon, so I'm keeping my guard up just in case.

''Hey, Tom!'' I heard Alex call out, and he, Steph and Rachael all made their way over to me with…posters of the Omega Kid cast signed by the Omega Kid cast?

''You guys got there before me?'' I asked in shock.

''Where have you been?'' Alex quizzed me.

''Lost…oh by the way, guys this is Harry Dunn. If it weren't for him I'd still be trying to find my way around this place''.

''Nice to meet you all…'' Harry said, ''So I guess you don't need me anymore. Hope to see you again soon!''

''Same here…''

''ATTENTION HUMANS!'' A voice boomed across the hall. All of us, including Harry turned our attention to a crowd of people, at the centre was some old guy in a Magneto costume, ''I AM THE ONE WITH POWER NOW!''

''Is this an act?'' Rachael asked.

''If so, I'm playing along!'' Alex said and before we could stop him, he runs out of the crowd and is now face to face with Magneto, ''Okay tin head, let's go!'' Alex yelled and then gave the Professor X thinking face. Although the crowd around started laughing at this, the guy as Magneto didn't look amused one bit, at least not until he gave a small smirk…I don't like this.

''Alex, back away from him now!'' I called for him but too late!

Magneto raised his arm and then it happened; Alex collapsed screaming and holding his head, he tried to take the metal Naruto headband off his head, but it seemed to grow tighter. This guy can't have Magneto's power, it's not possible. But I had to rethink that statement, cause as Magneto raised his hand higher, Alex was now hovering off the ground, the headband pulling at him. I charged forward in hope of stopping him, but Magneto just flexes his hand and Alex is sent flying on top of me.

The others helped him off of me, just as Magneto raised both of his arms now and started lifting all metal objects around him in the air; money, collectables, and people that were attached to metal…this guy could kill someone if we don't act now. And out of all of us, it was the person I least suspected to attack who did…in the most unexpected way.

SWOOSH! Magneto was struck across his metal mask by a flying object, causing him to lose control and cause the people to fall to the ground; thankfully they weren't too high to lead to any real damage. With Magneto down, it gave the four of us a chance to all slowly turn our heads to Harry, who reloaded his bow with another arrow.

''You're Robin Hood?'' I said to stunned to really do much else.

''Not that big of a surprise really'' Harry replied as he threw off his Wanted clothes with his green hoodie costume underneath, and instantly covers his face under the long green hood, ''Anytime you lot want to jump in!'' He told us before charging off to go up against Magneto.

''Um…we don't have our costumes do we?'' Steph spoke for all of us. We didn't have our costumes unlike Hood; he's always more battle ready than us.

''Well, you guys are in your costumes!'' Rachael pointed out. We all looked pretty stupid not realising that under the wigs and cosplay suits, we were almost unrecognisable to anyone who was far enough. And with the damage that Hood and Magneto were giving off, no one was going to try and act brave and help out.

''Alright, let's go…'' BAAAAM! I was pummelled to the side by some huge force of nature, dressed in red armour. I strained to get up, but when I eventually did I saw a sight that chilled me to the core, a huge guy that made Marcus look like a lightweight…this guy was dressed as Juggernaut. He came charging at me again. I grabbed a desk next to me and held it up as a shield, but that didn't stop him as he ploughed through it like knife through butter and sends me flying again.

''Hold on!'' Alex shouted as he and Steph ran to help me, only to be stopped in their tracks by a figure floating in mid-air wearing a black and yellow suit…Black Adam! We were dealing with real super villains, and probably three of the toughest around. Alex and Steph charged at him; but Black Adam flies towards them, grabbing them both by the neck and slamming them into the back wall.

I got up just as Juggernaut came charging at me again, I rolled to the side dodging the impact as he goes crashing through the wall and into the next room. No one should be this strong! And of course there's Magneto and Black Adam, these guys somehow had the powers of the characters. BAAAAM! Juggernaut's fist slams through the wall and hits me dead on, knocking me across the hall with little effort. It felt like my bones were crumbling inside, just one more knock like that and I would be finished.

A metal table flies across my vision; I follow it to see it aimed at Hood who was still going up against Magneto. Hood dodged it and fired another arrow, but Magneto lifts a little coin and blocks it with that. I don't even think that these guys were trying and they were wiping the floor with us with their powers.

Alex went to round house kick at Black Adam, but the alien villain flies into the air to dodge the attack and soars for Steph. He goes to punching the flier, but he zips underneath Steph's punch and holds his elbow out hitting him in the stomach.

''Guys, we need to switch around!'' I call out. We all shift around so now Hood was aiming his arrows for Black Adam who was diving and hovering around to dodge the incoming fire. Alex and Steph were now double teaming on Juggernaut; the giant would go after one, while the other lands a sneak attack causing him to crash into the wall and anything else that got in his way, however that didn't look like he was slowing him down.

I was now up against the main leader now (he's Magneto, he's got to be the leader). He smirked at me before speaking out, ''You think that you can defeat us, human?''

I don't know what it was, but that voice sure sounded familiar, in fact something about this was starting to ring a bell with me. He focused on me, trying to see if I had anything metal to use against me, I didn't, ''Not going to work on me!'' I taunted before running towards him. Just as I thought, he lifted up metal desks and attempted to cut me off. But he wasn't quick enough, I slid under the tables and double kicked him the chest sending him crashing to the ground and causing his mask to fall off.

I froze seeing the face under the mask, it wasn't one I'd seen around a lot, but now I can't help but feel stupid for not knowing it sooner, ''Pyro?''

''Um…behold the power of Magneto!'' He bellowed as he sent a metal chair my way, I ducked dodging it and round house kicked him in the face. He rolled and was now flat on his face mumbling something before getting back up.

''Oh no you don't!'' I grabbed both his arms and held them down, ''Now tell me how you and your brothers are working these things!''

''I'll never tell our secrets to our mortal enemy…Ow, Ow, Ow!'' He cried in pain as Rachael snuck up behind him and twisted his ears.

''You want to tell us now?'' Rachael spat at him twisting harder.

''Ha, like I would tell our secrets to a woman as well!''

This pissed me off, I grabbed his nose and twisted that as well until the point it was starting to bleed, ''AHHHH! Alright, it's our suits! After you damaged our last ones we had to build new ones, so we based them off the greatest villains in history!''

''How do you shut down the suits?'' I demanded to know.

''I've said enough!''

I twisted his arm; it had to be more painful with that heavy suit on as well. He yelped in a high pitch voice, ''Cryo said that the power system runs throughout the suits, he made some modifications but he couldn't protect the power cells under the arms!''

I reached under his suit; there were craters in them giving me a good feel on the inside, wires connected to each other, I hope this isn't like the red wire blue wire situation. But soon I felt something large and cylinder, instincts told me to just pull it out, so I do. In my hand was a large red battery of sort, and straight away, the power to Pyro's suit disappears.

''Hold him here!'' I said to Rachael.

''Ha…'' Pyro chuckled, ''Like a girl can hold…OW!'' Rachael pulled at his hair hard.

''Make another sexist comment, and you'll be chocking on this!'' She threatened; I think she'll do just fine without me.

Black Adam dodges another one of Hood's arrows; he flies up behind Hood and grabs him in an arm lock. Thanks to the suit, he begins to crush Hood as he tightens his grip. I run up behind Black Adam and reach for the battery praying that it was in the same place as Pyro's. Thank God it was, I pulled it out and threw it away. The suit depowers instantly and the mask of Black Adam falls apart revealing Cryo's face.

''No, I know this situation points to a brutal violence towards my personal…'' BAM! I knock him out in one punch. Two down, one to go! Hood and I make our way over to help out Alex and Steph who were doing their best to escape the destructive path of Juggernaut aka Bulk. The behemoth charges at us now, Hood fires his arrow at Juggernaut's leg hoping to stop him but he wouldn't.

''Aim for under the arm, like Cryo's suit!'' I told him. Hood took up another arrow and aimed, but he didn't fire.

''I can't get a good hit!'' He said just as the giant rushed past the both of us, lucky to escape his warpath. He turned and made his way towards us again. I know I'm probably going to regret this, but we're low on options as it is. Time to prove Hood's loyalty; I charge right towards Juggernaut hoping he would take the bait…if he doesn't I'm screwed.

He stops in front of him and raises both his arms ready to crush me into the ground, ''Now!'' I signal to Hood hoping that he was ready. I could breathe again as I see an arrow fly past me and get a direct hit under Bulk's arm and right at the battery core thing. His suit surges with electricity before shutting down.

I jump up and kick at his chest, the top heavy suit of his causing him to collapse heavy to the floor. The super villains were down, and it looked like for the count this time.

''Ah…'' Pyro shouted, ''Why did you design the suits to be so heavy?''

''The circuitry, balanced carbon plantings alone would weight…''

''Please don't nerd us!'' Pyro interrupted.

''As if you haven't done that already!'' Rachael smirked tugging at his hair harder.

''Like to see you pull any fortune cookies out of your hat this time!'' Alex muttered to them.

''Not exactly!'' Pyro grinned much to my dislike. Despite his suit's supposed powerlessness, smoke started to fill the hall quickly and silently. By the time we could react, our vision was now down to humanoid shadows. And from that I can tell another person arrives and moves around…carrying a large hammer, the Judge.

''Stop him!'' I shout hoping that someone can intercept him before he gets away with Triple Terror. The shadows around were moving about so much by the time I get there, he's already behind me helping another one of the brothers escape. The smoke cleared soon enough, and by then the villains had cleared off.

''I've got to stop jinxing it'', Alex muttered.

''You should'', Hood replied or should I say Harry Dunn. We all looked at him waiting for him to say something, ''Hi'' He said.

''You knew it was me didn't you, that's why you came over'', I said and he nodded in reply.

''Were you going to tell me?''

He shrugged his shoulders, ''Might have been thinking about it''.

Okay, so this day didn't go exactly as we planned…hell, when have they ever? I didn't get to meet the cast of my show and we didn't get to bag the bad guys, but something did come out of this day, we now know the true identity of Robin Hood, and for some reason that made me trust him more. Guess seeing the face under the mask made up my mind, unlike a certain No-One who I blindly trusted. He went a separate way from us on the way home; he gave us his number in case we needed to call for help, so that pretty much means he's a part of our team now…we're going to have to start thinking of a team name soon.

''Finally, I can get this off!'' Alex grunted as he pulled off his costume, then he yelped and held his arm.

''You okay?'' I had a feeling he wasn't when I saw the blood trickle down his arm. We helped him roll up the sleeve and saw his scar from our fight with Slasher had flared up and was bleeding again, ''You must have taken a nasty blow in the fight to start it up again''.

''Why me?'' He moaned.

''Hey I've been there myself'', I told him, ''Come on this is nothing to you''.

''Tell that to the pain''.

''Hey…'' Rachael said getting his attention, ''If you can last with an injury like that, you can defiantly ask Chloe out''.

''Really?'' I think he was starting to feel better now.

Our little moment was cut off when my phone started ringing and Stella was the caller, ''Hello?''

''Hi, Thomas have you read the paper today?'' Stella asked.

''No we've been out all day, you're not going to believe what happened…''

''Tell me later, this is important…'' Don't know how it can be more important than being attacked by Triple Terror in famous villain mecha suits, ''Turn to page 8 of the Daily Mirror, it's about Alpha Girl!''

Now my interest was gained. I looked around the place, and found the newspaper turning to page 8 straight away. Lea's face in court was something I really didn't want to see, but it was what was beneath that was the real interesting part…

''What's up?'' Alex asked as Rachael and Steph tended to his arm.

''They've released pictures of Lea's belongings when she was taken in…''

''What did she have?'' Steph asked.

''Something she never had the chance to use before Kevin knocked her out…a fortune cookie''.

The three froze and all looked over to the paper to make sure I wasn't bluffing, and why would I bluff about this?

''Her too?'' Alex said.

''We need to find out what these fortune cookies mean'', Stella told me still on the other line.

''I know, whatever these fortune cookies mean…it's not going to be good.

(3rd Person View)

''You three could have any advantage known to mankind, and you would still screw up!'' Judge shouted at the three brothers. All of them trying to cower behind the other, Hunter was sitting at the back trying best to hold back her laughs seeing the boys get in trouble.

''If it wasn't for bumble brains messing up the suits…'' Pyro started.

''Excuse me? I drastically improved the suits, and once I make the proper finishing touches to our original ones…''

''Then maybe you'll help us out!'' Judge finished, ''It's almost time!''

''Time for what?'' Pyro asked.

''Time…to play, ha, ha, ha!'' Hunter laughed manically.

Judge chooses to ignore her, like shouting at her would work like it does with Triple Terror. He brings out a small fortune cookie slip from his pocket, ''Our time to strike is almost here, but first we need our scout mission to be perfect!''

''This scout mission…'' Pyro started, ''I know if this works it'll pretty much make us invincible. But what's going to stop the superheroes from interrupting?''

''They'll be too busy to deal with us!''

''Dealing with what?''

''Let's just say the boss has made the proper arrangements, there are other powers he controls!''

To Be Continued…

So what is the Fortune Cookie boss's plan? And is Alpha Girl linked into this plot as well? Looks like it. So at long last, Hood's secret identity has been revealed, pretty much making him an offical memeber of the team now. Also, I just want to remind people that there is a poll on my profile for you to vote for your favourite Omega Kid hero if you want.

I would also like to drop a little preview of the next chapter, Thomas and the group meet a hero that is literally on a whole other level compared to them, but is he really a hero that they would like to work with? You'll find out soon. Until next time though, take care!
