Chapter 10: Captain Who?
In Vice-Mayor Charles' Office.
Sometimes, I wonder where these non-humans even came from. While watching the news about Marvelous Man, a knock goes on my door. "Come in." I said. "Hey, Charles." My adopted son, Jack, come and sits down on the chair.
"Shouldn't you be in school?" I asked him. "No. School doesn't start until-" He checks his watch. "20 Minutes?!" He screams. He runs out the door and I can't help but laugh.
Back In The Northside...
I wake up to my alarm clock and I feel great. I get a text from Jordan. "Hey, I know you wanna make a team of non-humans, but before we do that, you're gonna need training. Meet me at the Lookout Hill after school." He texted. Damn. I guess this is for the best.
I get to school and tell Jordan goodbye. Then, Jane walks up to me. "Hey. Feels like I haven't seen you in forever." She says. "It's only been a day." She starts blushing, but then focuses herself. "Well, did you hear about Marvelous Man? He has his own fan page. How cool is that?"
"Yeah. I've heard. It's about time someone considered how I feel." I said. "What do you mean how you feel?" She asked. Crap. I thought. "Oh. I mean, it just feels like no one besides you, and Jordan are on my side about Marvelous Man being a good guy." I tell her. Yes! Great save! I thought.
"Ooh. I also forgot to mention, the guy that made the fan page, Jack Forest, Is transferring to this school!" She says excitedly. "What? That's pretty cool." I tell her. Then, the same guy who was on tv comes in the school and some people start to see him and talk about him.
"Hey. What's up? I'm Marvin." I greeted. "Oh. Wassup man? I'm pretty sure you know me already." He says proudly. "Well, yeah. I think what you'redoing is pretty cool. At least someone agrees that Marvelous Man isn't a bad person." I tell him. He then notices Jane and they introduce themselves.
Later that day, I learned more about Jack. I learned that he likes basketball, his favorite color is white, he likes to listen to rap, and he is actually the adopted son of the Vice-Mayor! I mean, it's cool, but Charles Watterson isn't.
"Hey, I was actually gonna turn the Marvelous Mans not only into a fan page, but also a club! And the locat I n could be, right here!" I see the excitement in Jane's face as we're eating lunch. I don't think I can do this. I mean, it's gonna be a club about me. I don't wanna sit for lord knows how long just to talk about myself.
But, at the same time, I could just spend more time with Jane. I thought. "I think that's amazing." I said. "I'm glad you think so. We can all meet up after school tomorrow. I told the principal and he was totally cool with the idea." Jack says.
As soon as we leave lunch, the day practically goes by in a flash. "Hey. Marvin. Wait up." Jordan and I wait for Marvin to come to us. "So, I don't know about you, but my house has all the games you can imagine. Some of them haven't even come out yet." Jack says. "Wait. How'd you get games that haven't come out yet?" Jordan asked.
"Well, when your dad's the Vice-Mayor and is filthy rich at the same time, you get some bonuses. So, I know we just met a couple hours ago, but how 'bout it?" Jack asked. "Sure. Why not? Just let me call my uncle." I tell him.
After I call my uncle, Jack takes us to the place kidd go to when they need to get picked up. "Wait. Who's picking is up?" I asked Jack. "Oh. My butler, Winston." He replies normally. "Wait. You have a butler?" He nods and Jordan and I share a look.
While waiting for his butler to pick us up, I see a limousine drive up to us. "Get in boys." The man from the limo said. We get in the limo and fall into heaven itself. The car was completely white on the inside. With wine and cheese for snacks and many more.
"Wow. You have a butler and a limo?" Jordan says. "Yeah. Just wait until we get to my house." Jack said. I start to get a little excited. It would be so cool if this guy was a hero. We could not only defeat the Southside Savages, but we can also get more people to join us. I've got a good feeling about this.
We get to a mansion that looks like it has 5 floors! "Woah. This looks big." Jordan says. "Just wait until you see the inside." Jack says. Winston then opens the door and we step inside of heaven. The man soon is so big, it could probably fit about 10 elephants.
In the backyard, there was a pool and some more open field. But the inside was so big. "Yup, welcome to mi casa." He says. "If you boys need me, I'll be in my room." Winston says. He then walks to the basement. "Ok. So here's how everything works in my house.
There are 5 floors to this house. This is the living room, the place where we all eat, watch TV, and do regular, rich family, normal stuff. But, all the fun comes when we go upstairs." Jack says. He then takes us to an elevator. "You have an elevator in your house?"
He nods and we take the elevator. "Ok. So, in my house, we have so much space, that even if we did fit all our stuff, 3 floors will still be left empty. So, instead of having separate rooms, we all have seperate floors."
What? That's awesome. I thought. "So, who has the awesome top floor?" Jordan asked. "Why not just wat and see." Hack says dramatically open his arms and reveals a whole floor of awesomeness. "Yeah. You guessed it. It's mine. This while floor of rooms, bathrooms, anything. It's all mine." Jack brags.
Throughout the whole day, all we did was play video games, talk, connect with each other, and just hung out like teenagers. I have my moments of teenage fun sometimes, but ever since I became Marvelous Man, I haven't been feeling so normal. At least not the same normal as before the meteor.
After we were tired playing video games, we watch some TV. Until news interrupts what's on TV. "This just in, Vice-Mayor Charles Watterson is speaking out about Marvelous Man. What he thinks about this southside savage capturing." The news reporter says.
"Now, due to the mayor being on vacation with his wife, I came out here to tell everyone that this Vigilante isn't someone who deserves this much praise ok?" He says. I see jack turn a little mad. "This man could get someone hurt one of these day's. I said it before and I'll say it again, this man should be stopped immediately.
I saw a non-human today at a nearby hospital, that person had the ability to fire. After he showed me this power, a fire broke out near his bed. He could've died today. But I asked him why do that? Why use this power? And he said he was inspired by Marvelous Man.
That same inspiration that he had, could get him and every other non-human in Franklin City killed." He finishes and a round of applause erupts and collides with reporters asking questions. "Vice-Mayor Charles, don't you think we should see what Marvelous Man thinks about this. You know, listen to his side of the spectrum?"
Yes. We should. I mean, I thought I already proved to everyone but I guess it's not enough. I thought. "Well, if it makes everyone happy, Marvelous Man will come to this very podium and prove to us why he should stay. He will answer your questions tomorrow at 5 or leave this city for good." He end his speech and I think about what he just said.
Before I could talk, the alarm goes off and I look to see what's the trouble. A car theft in progress huh? Not today. I realize jack is speechless. "Oh. Um... it was nice hanging out, but I gotta go. My uncle hates me missing curfew."
Then Winston runs to the room and asked for jack. Jordan and I leave the house and fly to the car theft. I see a middle-aged man trying to steal a car until I scream as loud as I can. He jumps and I laugh hysterically. "I don't think that's something you should do." I said. But before I could talk, he gets hit by this wind of ice.
I look to the side and see a guy with white dreads and black welding goggles on. His suit was black with white shoes, white gloves, and white shoulder pads. He also had a belt that had CF on it. "Who are you?" I asked. "Glad you asked Marvelous Man, I'm Captain Frost."
