Super Hero

WARNING: ATTEMPTED SELF- HARM

I have a little sister named Karen. Now a days, she's with some foster family far away from South Park. But years ago, she still lived at my family's stupid old shit-hole. I mean house. Actually, I mean shit-hole.

But anyways, Karen used to live there. And let me tell you she was the cutest little girl you ever saw. Big eyes, a cute smile, and the greatest imagination a kid could wish for.

Karen was always happy no matter what, even with our stupid family. When I was about 9 I had become a super hero named Mysterion for several reasons.

One reason was to stop Coon. Another to defeat Cthulu.

But the most important reason was to be there for Karen. I knew she needed me; I just had a brotherly instinct. But I knew when the time to get her out of South Park was. It was when I was probably 16. She was 12.

"Karen, come on." I grabbed the hand of my little sister gently. My gloved hand was in her gloved hand.

"Can I say goodbye to Ruby first?" Karen tugged at my hand and I released. She ran off towards another girl her age, Ruby Tucker, and hugged her friend. Ruby's older brother Craig was in my grade. At the time, I wasn't really friends with him yet. But I didn't disapprove.

"Karen. Can you please tell Kenny what Craig said?" I overheard the girls.

"Of course Ruby" She smiled and turned to head back to me.

Then I saw a kid I didn't recognize. Some tall (for a 12 year old) girl with orange-red hair and blue eyes. She was definitely in Karen's grade.

"Bitch, did you get me what I wanted?" I heard the rude ginger hiss at my sister.

"No Sarah. No. I'm not getting you weed!" Karen stomped her foot down. Angrily.

"You'll do whatever I tell you" The girl pushed my sister. She landed on Ruby, pushing both of them down.

"No!" Karen yelled and helped Ruby stand up.

"Maybe if I hurt your little girlfriend you'll listen to me" The bitch grabbed Ruby and was about to hit her.

That's when I realized I was just watching.

I ran forward and pulled the bigger girl away from petite little Ruby and my sister.

"Poor boy get out of my way." I heard that bitch tell me. I ignored her and grabbed the two girls by their hands.

"C'mon" I said and dragged em away from the angry bully.

Both girls latched onto my waist, Karen more than Ruby though.

"Kenny Thank you so much I thought we were gonna get killed!" Ruby spoke really fast, but with little emotion. But I knew she was scared.

Karen stayed quiet.

"Kenny, why didn't my Guardian Angel come?" She looked at me with her big blue eyes. I knew exactly who she was talking about.

Funny thing was, he did come. Just not in costume.

"Oh Karen stop it! Kenny is more of a hero than Mysterion. Mysterion hasn't been seen in years anyways." Ruby spoke. Evidently, Karen had shared the fact that Mysterion had come to comfort her several times. But Ruby was right; I hadn't dressed up to come visit her in quite some time.

"Kenny thank you again" Ruby looked up at me with a big smile. I smiled back.

"It's Nothing." I then turned to look at Karen.

"Now what did she say about weed?" Karen's eyes widened at my words.

She had the I-Can-Explain look on her face. I knew I had heard something about Weed.

"She knew Kevin and Dad smoked it and wanted me to get her some. That's it, I swear!" Karen had gotten very jittery when she spoke of our brother and our father. I understood why, they were damn scary.

"Calm down. Ruby, Do you want us to walk you home?" The girl nodded fast, her pigtails bobbing up and down.

"Let's go" I put a hand out to both girls and each took it gladly.

The walk to the Tucker household only took a few minutes, and Rub gave me a big hug goodbye. Craig nodded at me from inside the doorway, his own little 'thanks' for taking care of his sister.

Then Karen and I had to begin to walk to our house. Oh, how we dread that walk. We have to go through the semi-poor part of town and then the regular-poor part of town, where we lived.

As we approached the house, we could hear screaming. Kevin and Dad screaming curses at each other. My mom telling them both to "Shut your fucking mouths you drunk asswholes!". It was not a pleasant cacophony. I hated it and I knew Karen did to. I could tell from the look on her face. She looked nearly in tears.

I held her hand as I opened the door, its lock was broken. But it's not like we had anything worth stealing anyways.

"Dad why the fuck do you do this?"

I heard Kevin yell. He actually sounded almost sober for once.

"Because I fuckin do! And you will to you asswhole!" Dad was NOT Sober. Not at all. But that was typical.

"That's no Fucking excuse you lazy son of a bitch!"

"You bet your ass it is you ungrateful little shit!"

Karen and I just walked right through the room where everyone was yelling, straight up the stairs.

"Do you want to come to my room Karen? Or me to come to yours?" I stood in front of her door with her little hand still in mine.

"No Kenny. I'm fine," She said to me with a big fake smile. I nodded and headed toward my room.

Once I was in I knew what I had to do. I had to cheer up my little sister in the only way I knew I could for sure.

I opened my closet door and searched for the box marked with a large question mark. A green one.

I grabbed it and emptied its contents onto my bed. I grabbed each piece and suited up like I had done all the time years ago. When I pulled the dark purple hood over my head, and felt my mask in place, I knew I was once again Mysterion.

I jumped out my window and climbed towards Karen's. She never locked it, since she always wanted Mysterion to come back, so I could just slip right in.

I did just that. I saw the girl over in the corner of her room with a pair of scissors in her hand.

I looked to try and see what she was cutting, when I realized what was going on.

"Karen!" I yelled, using my Mysterion voice. She turned around and looked at me like a deer caught in headlights. She looked ashamed and scared and nervous and dropped the scissors right into the trashcan. Luckily, I saw no blood. I had been there just in time.

"Guardian Angel" She looked at me sadly.

"Why?" I walked up to her and grabbed her wrist.

"Why would you do this?" I shook her wrist almost angrily. I saw no scars, so it seemed this would have been the first. I still thank god I had come in when I did.

"Because I hate this! I hate my family except for Kenny. I hate school! I just want it to end!" She cried and then sat on her bed, full of tears. I stood next to her and put my arm around her.

"It's okay. It's okay" I tried to get her to stop. But her tears kept flowing.

"I just want a better life for Kenny and I" She managed to get out through her tears.

"Karen. I'm going to get you out of here. But there's one thing I need to tell you first" I sighed and looked at her.

"Whatever you want to say Mysterion"

"That's just it Karen" That's when I stopped using the voice.

"I'm Mysterion, but that's not the only person I am." Then I pulled down the hood and heard her gasp.

"Kenny!" She hugged me. I had almost expected her to be mad. Or disappointed. But no, she was ecstatic!

"Karen, we're getting you out of here." I told her. "You will have a better life"

A few weeks after that, I got her taken to a foster home somewhere safe, and away from this town. But she was close enough for me to go visit her every now and then. I was glad that even if it was on a small scale, I was able to be a super hero. Especially to one of the most important people in my life.

A/N:

Yeahp. Dunno where I got the idea for this one... Kinda came up with it as I went. But that's how I write a lot of the time. :)
