Chapter 3
I heard my brother calling my name. Should I listen to him? It was pretty peaceful here and there really wasn't any pain. That was, until my body began to ache.
"Relax, you brother's going to be fine. I gave him something that got rid of the stuff they injected into him. He should be waking up soon" a female voice told my brother. I felt Charlie relax and soon I opened my eyes. Tears were falling down Charlie's face as he saw my eyes open.
"Thank you. You don't know how grateful I am for helping my brother" he told the girl. Charlie held me tightly and for once, I actually liked it. I knew that when Charlie was around, the bad guys had to go through him before they hurt me otherwise they'd be dead meat.
"Charlie" I groaned. He gently stroked my forehead and he smiled down at me. I couldn't believe Charlie was an actual superhero. He was like one of the characters from the comic books I read.
"It's okay, you're safe" he reassured me. We decided that we would tell mom as little as we possibly could so she wouldn't freak out and all. I would do anything for Charlie. One, he was my brother and two, he saved my life.
"Your identity's safe with me, I won't tell. It would be cool though, letting people know that you save their lives and protect them" I told him. Charlie snorted and shook his head.
"Yeah, if you want every one of your enemies killing everyone you love" Charlie pointed out. That was the reason he didn't tell me or mom; why he had all those injuries. We went home and after a couple of days, I only had some scars.
"Hey Charlie! How'd you like to have a sidekick" I asked him. I could help him out on missions. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and then patted me on the back as he shook his head.
"No Jase, try to stay out of this as much as possible. I don't want you to get hurt" he told me. I owed Charlie one for saving my life and he was going to need help during battles. What if nobody could help him? I'd lose my brother. I was going to help either way.
"Whatever" I sighed. And like when I promised Charlie that I wouldn't wear his shirts, I lied. I was going to be a new hero; not Terminus Magnus. He would be one that would be able to help Aaron Stone. I thought back to Halloween when I was sitting in the living room reading a comic and Charlie threw himself across the room. My brother was protecting me from something that I couldn't see.
"Charlie, what are you telling him" Stan asked him. I eyed the two and they were having a brief glaring contest. Stan knew something about Charlie's identity.
"Everything Stan; he needs to know. For Pete's sake, he was just kidnapped" Charlie exclaimed. Stan sighed exaggeratedly and rolled his eyes. Something was definitely suspicious with the Stan guy.
"Fine! You can tell him the rest" he sighed. Charlie gave Stan a pointed look and told me about Stan. I blinked. He was actually a robot? Sweet! I went over and examined him.
"Jase, Stan may be a robot, but he still does feel uncomfortable being examined by a lab rat" Charlie told me. I stepped back and gave a little nervous giggle. I didn't want to piss Stan off. That's when I remembered the girl that saved my life. Who was she?
"Do you know the girl that saved me" I asked. Stan and Charlie looked at each other.
