/Hey! So I hope ya liked the story so far! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!/
Jean's POV
I tuck Virgil into bed as he sleeps peacefully. I smile softly at my little boy before leaving his room and closing the door. I look at the sofa to see Adam sleeping peacefully. The clock on the wall reads 9:30pm. I suppress and yawn and I head to my room. Richie went home around 5:30, after we finished watching the movie. We watched the Fantastic 4 and it was nice. I look sit on my bed as Robert lay on his side.
"Do you think we are making the right choice Robert," I ask him.
"You mean by letting the kids be heroes and use their powers?"
"Yeah. I mean, they are only kids Robert. They shouldn't be facing anything dangerous in their life, yet we are letting them go against bad Bang Babies who have their own powers too," I say as I look into his eyes. "Please tell me we aren't making a bad choice."
"We aren't Jean," Robert tells me as he holds my hands in his. "We aren't bad parents either. We have raised our kids, Adam and Richie too, for them to understand that they can make a difference. That they can save lives. Their double life will be hard, but your job is hard too. One day, you might not come back to us. You could be killed saving lives out there, but I know you have to do it. And I know they have to do it too. They have us to support and love them throughout the whole thing. And yes, nothing will be the same when tomorrow comes, but that doesn't mean anything bad. Changes always happen and we must adapt to them. I know this one will be the hardest, but I also know it will hold a lot of memories too. We will take each day as it comes and we will surpass the challenges. We must have faith in the boys and we must back them up too," Robert says as I smile at the end of his inspiring speech.
"And this is why you are a councilor for troubled children and why you run the community center," I say as I smile. "Thank you honey. That helped me a lot."
"No problem. Now let's get some sleep. We had a long day and tomorrow will feel longer."
I nod my head in agreement as I get under the covers. Robert turns the lights off and I slowly fall asleep.
(TIME SKIP TO DA MORNING)
Virgil's POV
I wake up and I look at my clock. It reads 8:30am. I yawn and I get out of my bed. Luckily, my sheets didn't attack me today. I head to the bathroom to freshen up before I head down for breakfast. After getting dress and making sure everything is fine, I head downstairs to see my mom cooking breakfast.
"Morning Mom," I say as I sit at the table.
"Good morning Virgil. Everything alright," my Mom ask me as she hands me some food.
"Yup. Nothing bad had happened with my powers. So, what are we going to be doing today," I ask her.
"You will be going to school mister. And no, you cannot tell anyone about your powers and you must keep them hidden," my Mom says sternly as she looks at me.
"Yes. I totally agree," I tell my Mom. "So the same applies with Richie and Adam, right?"
"Of course. Though Richie's is more easy to hide than your and Adam's power. Now get everything ready and your father will drive you and Sharon to school."
"Ok cool. Also, Richie and I were planning on finding some hero costumes for us after school and homework is over," I tell my mom.
"Sounds fine. Just make sure no one sees you in it," Mom tells me.
"Of course. We will be in my room," I tell my mom.
"Alright fine. Now put your dishes away and get everything you need for school! You will not be late today."
"Alright. I'm going," I say as I head to my room to get everything I need.
I leave my room and head to the front door. I put my snazzy shoes on.
"I'm heading out now," I call out as I open the door.
"Be safe Virgil! I love you," my mom tells me.
"I love you too Mom," I say as I close the front door and I start my walk to school.
