It was then time for school. Sho was on his normal way and passed a boy with square glasses wearing blue foot pajamas with a blanket for a superhero cape on his way to school.
"Nice kid." Sho said to himself.
Mrs. Woolingantz greeted her students, and there was then a knock at the door and she opened it up to see Indigo. "Oh, yes, you must be our new student..."
Indigo walked to the front of the class and looked shy and anxious.
"Class, this is our new student, Indigo Gajda," Mrs. Woolingantz introduced. "Please take your seat Indigo and we can get started with American History."
Indigo soon went and sat down at a desk that was next to Sho's desk. She then looked to the glasses wearing boy in curiosity. "Is that boy wearing a blanket?" she then asked Sho quietly.
"I think he likes to call it his hero cape." Sho whispered back.
Indigo rolled her eyes slightly. Mrs. Woolingantz then gave her lesson on American History and mentioned Benjamin Franklin when he got struck by electricity.
'I bet that hurt a lot.' Sho thought to himself.
The boy raised his hand.
"Yes, Crandall?" Mrs. Woolingantz replied.
"Did the lightning give him electrical powers?" the boy asked hopefully.
"No," Mrs. Woolingantz sighed. "For the last time, Crandall, none of the Founding Fathers had superpowers. Maybe this'll make more sense to you on Monday after we visit the Wax Works of History museum. Remember to have those permission slips signed, children."
Sho looked a little sad at the mention of parents before he started to read his history book.
'Attention all school personnel,' a voice on the intercom called. 'There's an emergency alert. Turn on your TVs at once.'
The chalkboard then moved to show a TV screen and there was a news report about a bad guy by the name of Baron Blitz.
"What the-?" Sho whispered.
There was then Governor Kevin as he was with Indigo's mother.
"Hey, it's all good, voters, I was gonna hire a superhero to protect us from this Baron creep," Kevin told his citizens on the screen. "In fact, I'll be holding auditions tomorrow."
"Oh, my, one superhero might not be enough to stop Baron Blitz." Mrs. Woolingantz replied.
'She's right, we'll need more than just one.' Sho thought to himself.
"I couldn't agree more, Mrs. Woolingantz," Crandall replied to their teacher. "I'll need help." he then went to his desk and wrote on the back of his permission slip for possible superhero teammates.
Before everyone knew it, it was time for recess. Indigo and Sho sat together with their comic books, reading each other's while Crandall looked for possible superhero teammates.
"Wow, this superhero you made up is amazing." Sho smiled.
Indigo smiled shyly. "Same with yours."
"Comin' through, partners." a Japanese girl with purple hair in a pink dress was jump-roping by them.
"She sure likes to jump rope." Sho said.
A boy then tried to take her lunchbox until the girl then lasso'd it like a cowboy rope and pulled her lunchbox right back. There was then a Spanish boy on a skateboard who jumped over Crandall's head.
"Do you know those kids?" Indigo asked.
"No idea," Sho said. "I usually try to keep to myself."
"Oh..." Indigo then said. "Sorry."
"It's okay." Sho shrugged.
Indigo then looked in the book.
Crandall then walked over to the two with his new teammates. "I see you two like superheroes as much as I do."
"Uhh... Sure..." Sho blinked.
"Meet Hector and Brenda, they'll be part of our superhero team." Crandall told Indigo and Sho to invite them to join the team.
"Nice to meet you both." Sho said to Hector and Brenda.
"Their new names will be Skate Lad and Rope Girl." Crandall smiled.
"Nice." Sho smiled.
"You two are welcome to join us," Crandall said and then looked to their books. "Pie Girl and Sports Detective. The Governor will be really impressed."
"The Governor?" the others asked, thinking this was just a pretend game, but Crandall really wanted to be a superhero with them.
"Sure." Sho shrugged.
