Naked Lad Con ch. 2
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...
AN: This chapter is a reward to 'Zim'sMostLoyalServant' for doing my challenge. Give his stories a read! Their good!

Trixie Tang bundled up her over-coat and fedora, making sure no one could recognize her as she entered the convention. Once more she cursed 'NakedLadFanLOL-QR6's' incompetence. "All he had to do was buy SIX items! SIX! Not FIVE! SIX! How hard was that? If he thinks he's still getting paid then forget it!"
Worse, the item he'd forgotten was the most important one on the list! Naked Lad issue #1! She'd one it in an intense bidding war...but the owner mad it very clear if she didn't buy it from him before the convention was over...he'd give it to the next bidder down!
So now she had to come down to the convention in person and pray that no one recognized her! Her reputation was at stake! Fortunately, it was a light turn-out and nobody she knew was their...so maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
She smiled as she bought the comic...she knew it was weird -and maybe kinda perverted- for her to like a hero who was buck-naked...but his origin...his struggle...it really spoke to her...he was everything she wanted to be-
ATTENTION! 'NAKED LAD: ORIGIN STORY' will begin soon!
Trixie frowned...she knew she should just go home...but the origin story WAS the main reason she loved the comic...eh, why not? There was almost NO ONE here- let alone anyone she knew -she'd be fine...
...
Since Timmy never read a script, the coordinator naturally blamed his apparently idiotic assistant for forgetting to send him one. "Look just- the props are anamatronic...just...improvise! and they'll take care of the rest!" He shoves him on-stage before he could question anything else...
Thankfully, the props DID do most of the work...Timmy was actually able to figure out the story! A bunch of kids on a bus threw a ball at him...bullies towel-snaped him...his parents were idiots...and he apparently had a... evil... baby...sitter?
"Hold the phone..this 'naked lad'...he's me! He not only looks like me...his life is LIKE mine!...okay, kinda creeped out now..."
And then there was a scene involving a telescope and a weird shooting star. "huh...I wonder what's going on now?"
The next couple of scenes apparently had him trying to fight crime...only to get his butt-whooped.
He tires to beat up a robber- BANG! OW!
He tries to stop a run away car- CRASH! OW!
Tries to rescue a cat from tree- CAT MAULING TO THE FACE! WHY!?
"Ooookay...why exactly was it necessary for the butt-whooping to be real?" Thought Timmy as he spat out a tooth.
But still...he felt like he was understanding what was happening here. Having wished enough 'flopped wishes'...let him realize the following scenario: kid makes wish, but he poorly words it and it backfires...in this case(judging by the context)...maybe he wished 'I wish I could be a superhero and that nothing could stop people from seeing me for who I am'...and the second half of the wish apparently got interpreted- by a 'Cosmo' type wish giver apparently -as he'd be unable to use his powers unless their was absolutely NOTHING obstructing peoples view of who he was..which apparently meant his clothes.
Sure enough, the next scene apparently involved a disillusioned and injured naked lad hitting the school showers...Timmy sees a bully robot waiting int he wings.
"Oh, I get it...Bully steals clothes...kids gets publicly humiliated...accidentally discovers powers...(sigh)alright let's get this over with."
Sure enough, the moment he took of his clothes, the bully swiped them and deliberately knocked down the shower stall prop to expose him to the small crowd of strangers...and one surprised looking Trixie Chang.
"Uh, oh."
...
TO BE CONTINUED?
AN: I know it says "in-progress" but really I just don't like boxing myself into a corner. For now this is more of a one-shot that I might continue one day...but probably won't.
But, hey. Feel free to use whatever elements you want from this, if you want! Or maybe give me ideas?
Love me, flame me, review me
