Chapter 3: Let's Get Started

The ambulance take her to the hospital and head to the room. I stay behind to sit in the waiting room. Uncle Rick gets in the hospital and finds me. "Hey. What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know. I was walking home until I saw aunt June's car." He sees my tears and calms me down. "Hey, it's okay. She'll be okay. I'm glad you found her when you did." I calm myself down.

While sitting in the waiting room for what seems to be 5 hours, the doctors finally get to us. "Is she okay?" I asked. "Unfortunately, the wounds were to severe. And she lost a lot of blood. We couldn't save her. I'm really sorry."

Even more tears shed down my eyes. I cried so much that I don't even think I have any body fluids. Uncle Rick gives me a hug.

I wake up the next day to have a pillow filled with tears. I don't even fell like going to school, but I go anyway. I guess the news spread out because everyone looks at me. Even Jane.

"Hey. How you holding up?" Jordan says. "Look, I know this has gotta be hard on you. So you can forget about thinking of being a hero and everything." He pats my back and goes to class.

I close my locker and see Jane. "I'm really sorry about your aunt. So here." She gives me chocolate. "Thanks." She smiles and gives me a hug. "You look like you could use a hug."

In class, I hear a bunch of kids talking about my aunt. Good and bad stuff. Then some says something that bothers me the most. "Why is such a big deal, my aunt died but is that not important. I don't think they should really care about some random person."

Out of anger I get out of my desk and immediately walk out of the door. I didn't listen to the teacher calling my name or anyone else. I was just running to the bathroom. "Marvin wait." Jane said. I didn't look back.

I push the door immediately breaking it due to my strength. Then I break into tears. Half of me is sad. But then the other half is mad. I get so mad that I break the sink with one hit.

It kinda hurt my hand but I look back at it and it heals. Okay, so that's super strength, lightning reflexes, speed, flight, and durability. I thought.

I get back to class. "Hey. Mr. Whitfield, do that again and it's detention." Mr. Johnson said. I sit in my seat. The while day of school was the worst. Almost half the school was looking at me.

Once school was finally over, I get home. "Hey. We have to go to the morgue." Uncle Rick said. "But before we go, I wanna say how sorry I am. This has to be killing you on the inside. But we're going figure out what happened to her at the morgue.

Once we get to the morgue, I prepare myself for what I'm about to see. We get inside the morgue and take a look at the body.

I almost cry, but I hold it in. Aunt June looks completely dead. "As you can see, the car accident gave her a mild concussion, and a lot of broken bones."

I examine the body until I see something I didn't tell anyone else. It was a gun wound. On her shoulder area. Wait. Why is that there if she was only in a car accident? I thought

But then I came to a shocking realization. My aunt wasn't in a car accident, she was shot and left to die. It's obvious that someone killed my aunt. And I didn't say it, but it showed.

Just like in the bathroom, half of me wants to break into tears, while the other wants to go on a rampage. I know what I need to do. My aunt needs to be avenged.

Then I think about what Jordan said. About being a hero. And I think I should do this. The last thing I want is someone to feel the same pain as me.

Being a hero would avenge my aunt's death, but her death can't get in my way of being a hero. I need to focus on bringing my aunt's murderer to justice.

After we saw the body, I immediately went to Jordan's house. I thought Uncle Rick wouldn't let me go, but he said I have to be back at 6:00. "Jordan, basement, now." I tell him.

We get down to the basement and Jordan gives me the same sad look everyone at school did. "Wassup?" I was so bumped to tell him. "Remember how you said I should think about being a hero?"

"Yeah. Then I told you that you don't have to do it." I shake my head. "That's what I came to tell you. I'm ready. I want to be a hero." He gives me a shocked look and gasp.

"Yes. I knew you would say that. Okay. Let's get started." He said. "Okay. First, you have to have a name. I was thinking, Superman cause you have super powers." I disagree. "I think that's already taken."

Then I think of my aunt's last words. "Marvelous." I said out loud. "Marvelous...Man. Marvelous Man." I said out loud to Jordan. "Yes. That's it. Marvelous Man. I like it."

I feel so excited. "Okay, Marvelous Man, next is your suit." I check for the time and it's 5:50. "Ooh. Actually, work on that suit and show me after school. I gotta go." I tell him. "Okay. See you later."

I walk home and I think about all the things I can do as a hero. I'm not just gonna be a regular hero, I'm gonna be the defender of Franklin City, I am gonna be the man to avenge my aunt. I am Marvelous Man.
