Chapter 4: First Day As A Superhero

Last night I kept on thinking about being Marvelous Man. I know  ow that aunt June would be proud. I get to school and I see Jane walking to her locker. "Hey Marvin." She said. "Hey."

Then I run into Jordan. "You finished the suit?" I asked. "Is 1+1 2? Then that's your answer?" I get my stuff for class. "Trust me, the suit looks amazing, I stole some tech from my dad's office and I made the suit pretty nice."

"Great. Can't wait to see it." We head off to class and begin our routine. As soon as I get to lunch, Jane sits with me. "Hey, can ask you about something?" She asked. "Have you been feeling weird since you came from the hospital?"

"No. Why? Are you feeling weird?" I ask. "Well, no not really, just been feeling off lately. I'm fine though, really." She said. "Okay." We sit in silence until Jordan sits down next to me.

"Hey you 2. Am I interrupting anything?" Jordan says. "No." We look at each other and Jordan prepares to tell me something. "Hey bud, can I talk to you in private for a second?" Before I can answer he drags me into the bathroom.

"Look, you agreed to be a hero, but as a hero, you have to follow 1 important rule." I tell him to continue. "Which is the rule that you can't tell ANYONE that your Marvelous Man. I have watched enough superhero movies and read enough comics to understand that."

"So I can't tell anyone that I'm Marvelous Man? Not even Jane?" He nods. "But what if she figures it out herself? Or if anyone figures it out?" He shrugs. "I don't know. But I do know that nobody except for me knows who you are."

We get back to lunch and Jane gives me a look. "What were you guys talking about?" I give him a look that tells him to speak. He gives me the same look. "Um...Nothing. Just regular guy stuff." She looks at him and we gives her a good expression. "Hmm. Okay."

I leave school and tell Uncle Rick I have soccer practice. But I automatically go to Jordan's house. "Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, prepare to see the best superhero suit ever."

He dramatically takes of the sheet from the doll and exposes the suit. I examine the shit for a brief second. I see the suit has a grey sweatshirt that has a red M on the chest area. Also, the pants are regular black sweatpants. I also see a mask that only covers my eyes with white and red striped gloves on my hands.

The outer area of the mask is red and black and the inner area is white. The suit actually looks pretty cool. "Wow. The suit looks nice." I look and try imagine myself in it. "Yeah, I know. But it's about what's in the suit that matters. Go put it on and I'll tell you."

I take the suit, go to the bathroom and try it on. I get out and Jordan gasp for air. "You look awesome." I look in the mirror, I look pretty cool. "Okay, now I know the mask looks like every regular mask, but the mask actually comes with thermal, night, and X-ray vision if you touch the right side if the mask.

I touch the right side and I see everything he talks about. "Woah." He was to me. "Yeah, also, you're gonna need this. It's an earpiece so we can talk."

We test this out and it feels awesome. "Okay, now the sweatshirt with the M and the pants are made out of a silk that's harder than titanium. But it's also really light. So, what do you think of the suit." He asked. "This is, by far, the coolest thing you've ever made."

"I know, I'm just as proud as you are. Now, while you're out there fighting bad guys, I'm gonna be here on the computer looking for the bad guys for you. Basically, I'm gonna tell you, what's happening and where it is. Since my dad's a cop it's not gonna be that hard looking for bad guys."

"I'll just get a notification on my phone about the crime and I'll tell you. I'll give you the same thing I have later, but it's basically a satellite that finds different crimes." His phone beeps and he checks it. "For example, there is a bank robbery in progress on East street."

I look at him. "Sounds like a job for Marvelous Man." I say heroically. "Ohh. Nice, now go. Can't you fly." I nod and head out of his house throw the back.

I jump as high as I can, except I don't fall down, I keep going up. And I'm going fast. "Woahhh!" I said. I get higher and higher until I control myself from going too high. "Okay. Steady." I  tell myself. "You good?" Jordan says throw my mask. "Yeah. Just never flied before."

"Well unless you wanna run your fastest, this is the only way you can go from place to place." I look from down below how small the city looks. I get to East Street and I see a black van. Then I see 3 people come out of the bank from the back.

I drop down very fast and land before they get to the van barked in the front. My knees sting then the pain goes away. "Hey. I wouldn't steal that money if I were you." Now that I'm close to them I see that they are all males, 2 Caucasian and 1 Black.

"That's real funny kid. Now scram." He then takes out a gun and points it at me. Don't waste time with them. I thought. I dash to him with full strength and super punch straight in the face. He falls back about 10 meters away. The other two take out guns and start shooting.

Using my fast reflexes, I dodge the bullets and they look shocked. "Who are you?" One man asked. "I'm Marvelous Man." These guys were obviously scared out of their minds because they tried running away.

But the still had the money so I dashed and grabbed them by the collars and throw them on their backs. They groan and I take the money. "Looks like you're not taking this." The police then arrive and arrest them.

Before they thank me I fly up and I fly back to my house. "Woo! That was amazing man. You can get some rest. The police will take care of the other crimes." He tells me.

I change into my regular clothes and get in the house. "Where were you?" Uncle Rick said. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "I mean, where were you? It's 7:30 and I told you to come at 7:00 and no minute later.

"Okay, I stopped down at Jordan's to talk about...you know." He sighs. "Okay. Just promise me to come home by 7. I have to work late tomorrow. Make sure you get home by 7." He goes to bed and I sit down and eat dinner. Once I get to bed I think about being a hero. "Don't worry aunt Jane, I'll find your killer."
