I want to thank you all for being so patient with me, I also want to thank A Hopeful Observer and for helping me come with a name for Luan's superhero persona. It took me awhile to come up with the future ideas for this story, finally I can continue with the story. I have another request for my fans, I'm thinking about giving Luan a "Arch-Enemy", I want you the fans to come with some ideas. There are some things to keep in mind, I want the villain to be a guy and that he has to have superpowers, other then that go nuts. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter.
*"911 what's your emergency." A women on the phone said.
Luan then pretended to sound worried. "Royal Woods Middle School is being attacked by criminals, please send help quick!"
"All right just calm down. We are sending some officers there, just stay calm."
"O-O-O-kay." 'Click' Luan hung up the phone. Today turned out to be a good day after all.*
After putting on her normal clothes and putting her new 'costume' in her duffel bag, she exited the Janitor closet. Deciding to pick up the duffel bag later she started to walk back to her classroom with a big smile on her face.
'This was amazing! I stopped five armed guys and won without a scratch. I feel like a real superhero...maybe I should be a full time superhero. I can save people, stop crime, make the world a better place.' Luan paused for a moment. 'If I'm going to be a superhero and help people I need to have a few things, first thing is a superhero costume. Sure I can use the new outfit that I just got but it won't be enough, I need something other then a hood to cover up my face, maybe I should get a mask and a cape. Pushing that out of the way the next thing on the list would be a super hero name, let me think of one.'
Luan thought for a moment, until she came up with a few names. 'Lets see, the Laughing Comic, no, System Shock, no...wait I think I got it. Yes, as of this day forth I will be called...The Violet Glitch. Yeah, now that is a good name.'
When she made it back to her classroom the entire class rushed towards her asking questions like 'are you hurt?' or 'did you see anything.', not wanting to cause suspicion she said that she just hid in the bathroom. After a few minutes of waiting the announcements went off, saying that because of the break in that school will end early and that the students will be getting a week off. Everyone was very happy when they heard the news, not soon after the students were free to leave the building.
Before Luan could leave she remembered her bag, making sure that no one was around she then proceeded to quickly and stealthily grab her new duffle bag. Once she got all the things she needed she left the school grounds and walked home. As she was walking home her thoughts went back to the discussion that she was having with herself a few minutes ago.
'I need to fix my look, I have a hero name with new weapons to boot, but what am I missing? I will think about it later.'
After Luan discarded her thoughts she continued walking, the walk felt like it took forever but she finally made it to her home, she was going to go inside but she remembered her duffel bag.
'If I go inside with this bag then everyone will ask questions, it's best that I hide it.' Luan looked around. 'Let me think...hiding it behind a bush seams like a good idea.' Luan then proceeded to hide her new bag behind a bush that was next to the house, one she was consent she walked to her home and opened the front door. When she went inside her house she was immediately hugged by her entire family, they were crying tears of joy as they hugged Luan.
"Luan!? We were soooo worried for both you and Lynn when we heard what happened at the school." Lori exclaimed (Luan and Lynn go to the same high school).
"Worried was a understatement". The twins spoke in unison.
Rita then pulled Luan closer to her and proceeded to check her daughter for injures. "Are you okay sweetie, any cuts or bruises?"
"I'm fine mom. Really I am." She said as she tried to pry herself from her mothers grasp.
Luan smiled when her mother finally let go of her, that's the thing about the Loud's, they always worry about each other. No matter what happens the Loud's would always have each others backs.
"Well we're all happy to see you okay...and home early, why is that?"
"Lynn didn't tell you? Well after what happened the principle let us out early and he gave us the week off."
Rita looked happy when she heard that. "Well that's good for you".
"Are you kidding me!? I want a week off of school!?" Lola exclaimed loudly. "It's not fair."
"I think it's perfectly fair girls." Said Lynn Sr.
Lola was about to say something but her father gave her a dirty look, she shut up instantly.
"Look the important thing is that Luan is home, safe and sound." Said Rita.
The family then came together for another hug, after a few minutes the family finally broke up the hug.
"So...you guys want to watch some TV?" Lincoln asked as he took a seat in the living room. Everyone just shrugged and went to take a seat next to Lincoln, they then turned on the TV.
"Welcome back everyone to Royal Woods News with me, your host David Romanov. Our top story today was a group of armed men attacking the Royal Woods High School. We now go to Amy Garcia on the scene."
"Thanks David I'm here reporting on the attack that has happened not to long ago, five armed men entered the school and caused panic throughout the hallways. When the police got to the school they found the five armed men on the floor battered, bruised, and bleeding. The security camera caught something truly incredible, please not that this security footage was not altered in anyway possible, here's the footage."
The TV then showed the POV of the security camera, coming in black and white with no sound. The five men were trying to break down the door until a hooded figure came out of a nearby corner with a katana in there hand. The family had a shocked look on there faces, they are seeing some kid just walk towards some armed men only carrying a sword.
"Is that kid stupid, they are going to get killed!?" Screamed Lynn.
They continue to watch as the armed men pointed there guns towards the hooded figure, the parents were about to turn off the TV but it was to late, the armed men fired there weapons. Everyone (but Luan) eyes widened in shock when they saw the hooded figure block all the bullets with their sword.
"How is that scientifically possible!? Lisa cried out in shock.
"That's so cool!?" Said Lincoln.
The tv then showed one of the armed men were trying to rush the hooded figure, before he could shoot the hooded figure teleported behind the man and knocked him out cold with the butt of their sword.
"Wait!? Did that guy just...Teleport." Lori said as she was having a hard time processing all of this. The TV then showed the hooded hero destroying the shotgun with one hand.
"How?!" The entire family said (even Luan started to act surprise to throw off her family) as they continued to watch the footage. The four armed men began shooting at the hooded figure but the figure just teleported all around, throwing there aim off. The figure the proceeded to vertically slash a armed men with there sword, not soon after the figure cut of both of the mans hands off and knocked him out cold with the butt of there sword. The family's eyes widened in shock (except for Luan) when they witnessed the gory scene, some of the younger members of the family looked at there hands hoping that they won't meet the same fate as the man, and despite being the man of the house Lynn Sr. got up and ran to the bathroom upstairs, no doubt emptying his lunch. Appalled at what they saw they shouted in unison.
"That's discussing!?/Repulsive!?/Cool." Everyone turned to Lucy, they know that Lucy is dark and depressions, that's her thing, but this feels like a whole new level.
Luna asked Lucy "You thought that was...cool?"
"...Yes."
The family went quiet after hearing her right, deciding not to question anymore they continued to watch the film, which is up to the scene were the hooded figure sheathed there sword and picked up both pistols that they took from the now 'unarmed' man. The figure looked like they were inspecting the items but not for long when the armed men shot at them again, with amazing speed they dodge all the bullets. The figure then shot two bullets at on of the armed men, each bullet hit one of there kneecaps. The family cringed at the sight.
As the hooded figure was walking towards the now crippled man they didn't see one of the armed men come at them and pistol whipped them. The family gasped when they saw the hooded figure fall to the floor and one of the armed men pointing there gun at the hooded heroes head.
"Come on!? Get up." Lynn screamed at the screen. "You can't end like this!"
"You can still win this." Lola said as she stares dreamily at the hooded figure, not going unnoticed by Luan.
'I don't like the way she's looking at me.' Luan thought frightfully. She then noticed her brother shaking in excitement and it seemed that his eyes were locked on to the TV screen.
"Hey Lincoln, are you okay?"
Lincoln replied without looking away from the TV "Yeah I'm fine. I'm just excited to see how he will get out of this."
"What do you mean by that brother unit?" Asked Lisa.
"I know that he will be okay! He's a real life superhero after all." Said Lincoln. Everyone turned towards Lincoln with skeptical looks on there faces (including Luan).
"Look Lincoln, I know you are infatuated by comic books and superheroes but superheroes don't exists." Lisa said, trying to be the voice of reason.
"But Lisa what about the whole teleporting thing." Lana pointed out.
"It's probably a teleportation device. Please understand that there is no such thing as superheroes or super powers and there is nothing on this planet that will convince me otherwise".
The screen then showed the hooded figures arms turn into big glitchy arms. With big eyes everyone slowly turn there heads towards Lisa.
"...I stand corrected."
The hooded figure then punched the closest armed man, the punch set the man flying towards a set of lockers. The family looked shocked when they saw that the force of the punch was so powerful that the guy left a big imprint on the metal lockers.
"Okay...that was awesome." Lincoln commented.
The hooded figure then teleported towards the fallen man and knocked him out cold with a stomp to the head. Now there was only one armed men left, the family was on the edge of there set hoping for a climatic ending. The last armed man began firing his gun towards the hooded figure who in turn blocked the bullets with there glitchy arms, the figure then proceeded to rush towards the armed men and punched him. Just like the last punch it sent the last armed man flying towards a wall, the force was so powerful that the man created a deep body imprint into the wall. The man was about to get out of the wall he was trapped in but the hooded figure punched the ground, the ground that the figure punched started to look like a glitch. The glitch from the floor stared to transfer towards the wall were the man was trapped in and started to cover the man in glitches, trapping him in the wall. The hooded figures then turned there arms back to, pocketed the swords and two pistols, and ran off the screen. The tv then swapped back to the female news reporter.
"You saw it here folks, a hooded figure stopped five armed men from possibly killing innocent kids and adults. As for all armed men, they are still alive and are now being put to jail for attempted murder and breaking and entering. Who ever this hooded figure was has shown remarkable courage and extraordinary powers that we wish we had, we hope that our new hero will continue to help the people of Royal Woods. Back to you David."
Rita turned of the TV as everyone just starred at the screen, still trying to comprehend what they just saw.
"Wow." Lori exclaimed as she starred at the blank screen with bug eyes.
"That was awesome!? Did you see him move he was like 'POW' 'BOOM' 'KAPOW'!" Said Lincoln as he was fanboying like crazy.
"Awesome, more like hot!" Said Lola with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"Lola has a boyfriend, Lola has a boyfriend." Chanted Lana.
"I do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do not!"
"Do to!"
"Do. Not!"
"Girls calm down now or I'm going to put you two in time out."
"Yes mom." Said the twins in unison as there eyes were looking everywhere but there mom.
"...So what do the rest of you guys think about the hooded guy." Lincoln asked.
The rest of the family thought for a moment before they expressed there opinion.
"I thinks he's cool!" Lynn said enthusiastically.
"Ditto." Said Luna and Lana.
"Poo poo." Babbled Lily as she cuddled in her favorite purple blanket.
"I like how they will use any dark means necessary to help save people." Lucy said in her monotone voice.
"There alright I guess." Said Lori who went back to typing on her cellphone.
"Like it when he stopped those bad men but everyone needs a better wardrobe then black and white." Said Leni who adjusted her hair and dress.
"Ugh Leni the tv footage was from a black and white security camera." Said Lori without taking her focus off of her phone.
"Oh."
Lincoln realized that two of his sisters have yet to tell there opinion so he turned towards Luan and Lisa and asked. "What about you Luan and Lisa, what's your opinion?"
Lisa got up from her set and said "I think that he is a impossibility that should be tested on and studied. Now if you excuse me I'm going to question how this is scientifically possible." Lisa then walked up the stairs back to her room.
"Luan what about you?"
Luan thought carefully on what to say, when she finally knew what to say she said "I think that he's...interesting. (Yawn) If you guys don't mind I think I'm going to bed early, I had a long and stressful day today and I just want to forget that it even happen."
"Sure sweetie go ahead."
After hearing the okay from mom Luan then proceeded to go up the stairs to her room and went to sleep with a big smile plastered on her face. When Luan woke up she had a big smile on her face, the reason why would have to be that she remembered that she doesn't have school today. Luan got up and checked the time and noticed it was 10am, after she was done doing her morning routine she walked down to the kitchen and found a note on the refrigerator. Luan read the note out loud.
"Dear Luan, you will be home alone today since we have to work and the kids are at school, Lynn also has baseball practice so she won't be home until tonight. There some food in the fridge and if you ever need help with anything just call. Love Mom."
Luan shrugged and went to make a bowl of cereal, after eating her breakfast she got up and sat down on the couch in the living room.
'Okay I'm home alone and I have nearly a week off of school, what should I do?' Luan thought for any ideas on what to do, it didn't take her long for a idea to come up.
"I can find a mask for my costume, after all a mask can hide a face much better then a hood." Luan got up of her ass and went outside to grab her duffel bag, finding it were she last left it she went back inside and began looking around the house for a good mask. Luan checked everywhere in the house but she couldn't find a mask for her to use, she thought about making one but she wasn't creative enough to come up with a idea or design.
"Come on Luan think was there any other place that you didn't look. Let me check, I looked in everyones room at least twice, and I even checked the garage, the only only place that I haven't looked was...The attic!" With her super speed she ran back up the stairs and headed for the attic. When she got there she found the attic was filled with old cardboard boxes covered in dust and cobwebs, filled with determination she began searching through the boxes one by one until she finally found she wanted and some extra stuff. She found a Plague Doctor mask that had a glass eye openings and a beak shaped nose, the main part of the mask was white while the glass eyes were a dark black-green color, the mask also had a black leather harness on it. She had also found a Plague Doctor hat that was mainly black and had a purple trim, she had also found a black cape. Once she was done putting everything away nicely she ran back into her room and began to put on her costume. One she was done she looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself 'somethings missing'.
Luan then had another idea, she took of her mask and hat and began looking through her closet for something. When she was done she had a black winter face mask in her hand and began to put it on withe her other mask and hat. When she took another look in the mirror she thought that it looked she felt that her costume was perfect she took her costume off, put it back in her duffel bag, and stashed the bag under her bed.
"Now that that's over and done with I think I will relax outside for a change."
Like she said she went outside and took a seat out on the porch, taking in the Suns warm rays. After ten minutes of relaxing in the sun she got up and began walking towards her driveway, as she was walking on the drive way she fleet something loose shift on her feet. Luan noticed that the big stone slab that was part of the driveway was the reason why her steps felt loose and shifty, after taking some quick looks around she was satisfied to see that nobody is looking. She then began moving the big stone slab with her super strength and found a big square shape hole in the middle of the driveway. Noticing a latter going down the hole Luan climbed down and found herself in a underground room, she looked around the room and found a big pipe tunnel.
'I wonder where this rabbit hole goes to?' Thought Luan as she went down the tunnel. 'Well lucky for me that everyone is gone for today.'
As Luan continued to go through the pipe tunnel she began humming 'Talk Dirty to me By Jason Derulo' in hope to speed up time. After a minute of walking she stopped herself and face-palmed in realization.
"Duh! I have powers." She attempted to teleport to the other end of the tunnel with her new found teleporting powers, but it didn't work. She tried a few more times but for some reason it didn't work. She sighed in frustration as she continued to walk through the pipe tunnel, as she continued walking down the tunnel she notices that it's getting darker and darker. Remembering her glitch powers she grabbed a piece of lint from her skirt pocket, she concentrated and instead of lint in her hand there was now a purple flashlight.
"Bingo." 'I guess purple is starting to grow on me.'
Luan then turned on the flashlight and continued to walk down the tunnel. After what felt like hours she finally made it to the end of the tunnel, to her side was a latter leading up, being curious she went up and climbed the latter. When she made it to the top she notices a manhole blocking her path, with her super strength she effortlessly moved the manhole out of the way. When she crawled out of the hole she notices dust all over the floor and when she looked up she saw dust and cobwebs everywhere. She notices a big wooden crate on her left and proceeded to open it, once she opened it she looked inside and saw that it was filled with whoopee cushions. She then spots another crate and opens it, inside this one was false chattering teeth.
Luan found more crates in the abandoned building, in those crates had more gas ranging from rubber chickens, joy buzzers, there was even a crate full of playing cards. She also found conveyor belts all over the place, a cargo bay, walkways, and a central hub area. As Luan continued to walk around the abandoned factory she thought to herself 'something about this place feels really familiar'. Wanting to know why this place felt so familiar she decided to take a look at the factory from the outside, maybe the outside of the building might ring some bells. When she went outside of the abandoned factory she looked at the building and saw that most of the windows were broken and on top of the building was a smiling clown with a missing front tooth.
After looking at the clown head she finally realized where she was, she was in the abandoned Royal Woods Laugh and Gag factory, she use to buy products from this factory back when she was a kid, she even got a tour of this place when she was six. The Royal Woods Laugh and Gag factory was once a big company that sold lots of different gags, problem was that eventually nobody really needed gags and since the customers weren't buying they had to close up shop. It pained Luan to see her favorite company bite the dust.
"It sucks to see this place turn out like this, if feels like just yesterday when I bought my first gag from this company and took that tour. I still remember when the clown actually had all of his teeth, he must have lost one as the years gone by. If it wasn't for this factory then I probably won't be the jokester I am today...now that I think about it why hasn't this place been torn down by now. Well if this place has been abandoned for 27 years then I highly doubt anyone is going to tear this place dow-". Then it hit her, with a big Cheshire Cat smile she said to herself.
"I think I found my new base of operations."
This felt like forever to finish but her, I'm sure that this is the longest chapter I have ever made and it feels so good to finally continue working on this story.
