"Mind if I come to your house?" Sho asked.

"Uh, sure, if you want..." Indigo shrugged.

The two of them soon went to Indigo's house.

"So, Sho... What's your family like?" Indigo asked curiously as the boy seemed all alone.

"They were kind and loving and sometimes funny." Sho smiled sadly.

"What happened to them?" Indigo asked softly.

"Have you heard about what happened in Japan?" Sho frowned.

"Um... Not really..." Indigo admitted as she was about to be educated.

"My country was attacked," Sho frowned. "A-And my family was caught in the crossfire."

"Oh..." Indigo's face paled.

"They didn't survive..." Sho bowed his head sadly.

"Oh... Sho, I'm so sorry..." Indigo frowned. "Where do you even live?"

"Well, after I left the country, I'm now living in an abandoned house since the orphanage isn't the happiest place to be at." Sho said.

Indigo frowned, then remembered how her new house had some extra space, she then thought of something that might be a better fit. "Why don't you move in...?" she then offered for him. "I've always wanted a brother."

"Really?" Sho smiled.

"Only if you would want to." Indigo smiled back.

"Well, it would be nice to have a family again." Sho smiled.

Indigo smiled back.

Mrs. Gajda came through the door. "Honey, I brought home dinner."

"Mama, do you think you'd like to have another kid?" Indigo asked from the top of the stairs.

"Depends, does this have anything to do with adopting someone that is like a brother to you?" Mrs. Gajda smiled.

"Mama, can we please adopt Sho?" Indigo pleaded. "He has nowhere else to go, and he's my friend... He's like a brother to me."

"What about his family?" Mrs. Gajda asked.

Indigo decided that she needed to tell her mother about what Sho told her. She then took a deep breath and told her mother everything that she knew about Sho. Once her mother heard everything, she was shocked about what happened. Indigo frowned.

"Oh, my..." Mrs. Gajda wiped her eyes as she took a deep breath, absorbing that information. "The poor dear."

"He really needs a family, Mama." Indigo frowned.

"Yes, he does..." Mrs. Gajda agreed. "Let me see what I can do."

"Thank you..." Indigo said to her mother. She soon hugged her mother.

Mrs. Gajda smiled as she hugged her daughter.

Indigo then came into her bedroom as Sho was making his own superhero costume and where it was a jumpsuit with a detective's hat.

"Nice costume, Sho, I wonder what Crandall, Hector, and Brenda's costumes look like." Indigo smiled.

"Don't know." Atticus shrugged.

Indigo shrugged too.

"What's your outfit?" Sho asked.

Indigo walked over to her costume to show it was a light purple, dark blue, and white and there seemed to be a pi symbol from mathematics on the front and it had a cape, boots, gloves, a belt, and a mask over the eyes.

"Cool." Sho smiled.

Indigo smiled back.

Before they knew it, it was Monday and time for the big field trip. Mrs. Gajda had also signed Sho's permission slip and once there would be enough time, she would legally adopt the Japanese boy as her own son. Sho smiled as he had a good feeling that he would have a family again. The two then put on their costumes.

"A little early for Halloween, aren't we?" Mrs. Gajda chuckled in amusement.

"We're superheroes." Sho said.

"Oh, of course you are..." Mrs. Gajda chuckled.

"No, really." Sho said.

Mrs. Gajda laughed, just thinking it was a little joke. Indigo and Sho sighed as they weren't believed.
