Hello Hello!

The first chapter didn't get that much attention in the first couple days it's been up, but that's expected considering this is my first story ever on this site and I shouldn't expect people to like my stories. Anyway, I've actually wanted to do this chapter as soon as I could because I'm so motivated to write this story!

OK K.O.! doesn't belong to me.

"K.O.! Rad! Get down from there!"

Brushhead and the blue alien were always up to mischief when you put their two small brains together. That does sound mean, even for Enid standards, but that's all that can describe the state of mind of these two when they decided to see who could climb the plaza sign the fastest. The extraterrestrial being was about to reach the top first and the 6 to 11 year old kid was only half way, but that was still considered high especially for his small size. The oddly pink-haired teen was calling them to come down before Gar finds them and basically sends all three of them to the ER. K.O. looked down to see the angry yet concerned eyes of his co-worker and best friend.

"Aw, don't worry, Enid! This is perfectly saaaaahhhhhh-" His last word turned into a scream as the child lost his footing and was now falling to the bottom of the weirdly high sign. Enid was quick on her feet luckily and caught K.O. in her arms before he landed.

"What was that?" Enid asked with a raised eyebrow, sometimes she could call K.O. stupid, not as stupid as Rad, but still stupid. The kid didn't answer her statement and began to pout. Why? Rad just won their little contest and is now boasting about his victory. Enid put K.O. down beside her and unleashed a fireball at Rad, directly hitting him and knocking him off the sign. Sure, she could've done that earlier, but she didn't do it while K.O. was up there. Said young hero decided to head back inside the bodega to tend to what employee duties his boss, Mr. Gar, has appointed he and his coworkers. Rad began to blow up at Enid about her earlier action of getting him down from the plaza sign. K.O. made his way through the store and opened the closet to grab the cleaning supplies, the mop, bucket, window cleaner, cloths, etc. Being the youngest and newest employee, this was the norm for him to work on cleaning any messes throughout the day. He didn't mind though, he enjoyed his fair share of responsibility working at Gar's. His goal was to level up to become the greatest hero that ever lived! Just like...K.O. frowned to himself, slightly upset that's he's just now thinking about...her. She was his best friend and she left a few years ago, but he still misses her dearly and wishes she never left in the first place. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a Pow Card, it was an image of a 15 to 16 year old girl with wavy, bright orange hair and freckles. She wore a black tang top with a yellow ribbon around her waste and navy blue leggings with white boots. One of her eyes was faded grey, indicating the mystery of her blind eye. No one knows how she got it, whether it be from a fatal wound or biological causes. On the bottom of the card it read 'Ginger' and her power level was 4. K.O. still looked up to her and aimed to be as powerful as her, but sometimes he just simply wishes he could see her. He sighed and placed the card back into his pocket and gathered the cleaning equipment, heading to clean up isle 3 as there was a soda spill.

As as he was in the middle of cleaning the sticky mess, Enid and Rad finally came in after their little disput and Enid relaxed against the counter and Rad chilled in the lounge. It was business as usual. Until Enid spoke.

"Yo, K.O., I forgot to mention, your mom wanted to see you. Something about seeing an old friend...?" The teenager sounded unsure, or maybe she just didn't care. K.O. couldn't really tell as he was behind a shelf and could see if Enid was wearing her 'I don't care' face. K.O. gave her the ok and cleaned up the set of his mess and skipped out the door, completely missing Enid's eye roll. The child wondered what Enid meant by 'an old friend'. Maybe one of his mama's old P.O.I.N.T teammates came by the plaza! That would be so cool! K.O. enthusiastically scampered across the plaza parking lot over to his mommy's dojo and burst through the door, striking a heroic pose.

"K.O., greatest hero of all time, has arrived!" He announced his presence. Everyone in the room just laughed at his ridiculous yet adorable dramatic entry. His mother, Carol, scooped up in her strong arms.

"There he is, my little munchkin!" She exclaimed happily. The woman seemed excited today, but K.O. didn't find out why until he heard a different voice besides his mom's and her students'.

"Careful, Aunt Carol, you don't want to drop him. I haven't seen him in years and I don't want my first view of him to be on the floor with a broken arm." The voice chuckled jokingly. Carol gently put her child down and laughed softly. K.O. saw a familiar face in the back of the room and slowly approached her. He slipped by his mom's students and his already huge eyes widened in shock when he saw who had spoken only moments before. Before him, was the person he's been dying to see since he was in preschool, the person whom he looked up to along with his mother and Mr. Gar. Orange hair and one blind eye, Ginger stood in front of him, smiling fondly. She giggled and kneeled, reaching her arms out for him to jump into. The young hero exclaimed in joy and launched his small body into his cousin's open arms. Ginger wrapped them around him and stood back up, carrying him with her.

"Ginger!" The younger of the two cried out in happiness. K.O. was half laughing, half crying as he rested his head on her shoulder and burying his face in her soft hair.

"Hey, buddy..." Ginger felt tears fill the brim of her eyes.

"I missed you so much..." K.O. murmured softly, still crying tears of joy. Ginger nodded and squeezed him harder, indicating she missed him too. It's been way too long to being separated from her little buddy. She pulled him back so they could properly face each other. Ginger wiped K.O.'s tears away with her thumb. K.O. slowly began to calm down and stopped crying. However, he immediately began asking her a whole army of questions. Questions like, "Where did you go? How did you come back? Are you going to stay forever?", Carol wasnt kidding when she said K.O. will be anxious to hear about what she's done in the past few years since she moved. Ginger put K.O. back down.

"I'll explain all that in time, kid. How about I walk you back to your work place before your boss gets angry?" The teen offered. K.O. immediately exclaimed his approval as he bounced up and down in excitement. He was eager to get an opportunity to introduce Ginger to Enid and Rad. He could tell they will get along great! The child grasped a hold of his relative's hand and practically dragged her out the door and the whole way to Gar's, all the while Ginger was giggling as she tried to tell K.O. to slow down. Before she knew it, they were inside the store, much to Enid and Rad's surprise as K.O. was caling to both of them very loudly. Enid covered her ears.

"Hey, Kid, I'm right here, you didn't have to yell." The level 3 hero glared at him before switching her intense gazs to the newcomer K.O. brought with him, "Who's the girl?"

Rad came into view, "Yo, Squirt, what were you screaming about-?" The blue alien stopped mid-sentence when his eyes laid upon Ginger, a startling recognition sparkling in his eyes. Said girl looked up and made direct eye contact with him, shocked, she muttered one word.

"Radicles...?"
