Chaper 5

Keith had stayed in his room for the rest of the night, locking the door as he got out the web pellets he grabbed from Galra Labs.
Yes, Keith felt bad about it but he wanted to learn more about what he could do.
He typed away quick on his laptop as he pushed his glasses back in place; he wore contacts to school; as he searched up stuff about spiders.
He found some weird and cool things. He learned about spider bites, how to treat them, poisonous spiders, endangered spiders, spiders that spin thick webs, spiders that spin thin webs, how spiders climb walls, how spiders spin the webs and lots more.
When he was done he sat back in his chair and let out a deep breath. It was late when he looked and he mentally cursed as he took his glasses off and got in bed, soon falling asleep.

In the morning Keith woke up sleepily. He groaned and sat up as he stretched and rubbed his eyes. He looked around confused before he groaned and trudged over to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and was about to put his contacts in when he realized he had ran out.
Cursing he grabbed his glasses and put them on before he brushed his hair and decided to put his mullet into a ponytail.
He got dressed in simple black skinny jeans, a My Chemical Romance Black Parade shirt (listening to Welcome to The Black Parade right now xD) and grabbed a red zip up hoodie. He pulled his red converse on so it looked like he planned it before grabbing his bag and headed downstairs.
Keith saw Shiro getting ready for his own work and smiled at him, going to grab a bottle of water and an apple for his lunch. He waved bye to his step-brother; who in return reminded him about cleaning the basement today to which Keith mumbled something before he was off to school.

(Ok so above is my writing before I got tips on how to improve my writing. Hopefully my writing from now on will be better.)

He decided to walk to day, shrugging his jacket on as he got lost in thought about his new found superhuman powers. What were the limits for his powers? What all could he do? Would this be temporary or will it stay forever? What would he do with these powers? Will he just forget about it and continue with his life behind the camera?
No. Keith wouldn't waste this gift of powers. He would find a way to do good with it and maybe get out of his comfort zone, do something that he usually wouldn't do and step out from behind the camera and glasses; maybe earning his chance to be in front of the flash.
Something tingling down is spine, spreading to the tips of his fingers that caused him to shudder all over, drawing him from his thoughts.
Something bad was about to happen. He didn't know how but he could feel it, almost like a sixth sense.
A shrill scream caused Keith to whip his head around towards the sound and soon his indigo gaze landed on a stream of people flooding out of the bank.
"He's got a gun!" "Someone call the cops!"
Keith's eyes widened and he found himself impulsively running towards the crowd trying to help the people that managed to escape the robbery that was now taking place.
The Black haired superhuman quickly scanned the area and saw the doors being barricaded and locked, trapping the gun men and the citizens inside. Keith had did another quick glance around the area before he saw an employee only door that probably lead to the staff room. The mullet-haired boy snuck away from the growing crowd and pulled his hood up before sneaking in through the door.
It was quiet in the banks staff room, coffee cups, keys, jackets, notes, papers, and some other miscellaneous items were strewn around the room. He moved quickly through the area and pressed his back to the wall next to the door and slowly turned the knob till he heard the lock click; indicating that the door was now open.
Keith opened the door slowly and listened carefully, hearing gruff voices yelling out orders, the shuffling of hesitant footsteps, the soft whispers of hostages talking in panicked soft voices.
Keith was about to step out when he realized that he didn't want to be recognized. Taking a quick look around the room Keith found a plain dark maroon colored bandana and grabbed it, wrapping it in a certain way so it covered from his nose down.
Hey, first rule of being a hero is to not let your civilian side be recognized, right?
Keith walked back over to the door and quickly made his way out into the main room of the bank. He hid in the shadows and acted on impulse, turning and scaled the wall next to him with ease, his red converse making silent taps as he soon reached the ceiling. He crawled over so he was roughly in the center of the large room.
"Someone tell us where the files are hidden or else." The biggest robber said as he held a pistol, taking slow steps around the room. The first thing Keith noticed was that there were three guys, one that was huge, covered in scars and carried himself with a slight.. pride to himself, like he took joy in making people tremble in fear and succumb to giving into what he wanted. The other two were built like Keith; somewhat muscular but probably lacked stamina to fight someone huge. The two scrawny guys looked like brothers; even acted like it as they stood next to each other holding pistols like their comrade.
The biggest guy was getting more frustrated. He growled and grabbed a man in a grey suit and yanked him up harshly, holding the pistol to his head. The second thing Keith noticed was that almost all the hostages were workers for the bank.
"Someone better tell me where the files are or I-" "or you will do nothing." Keith interrupted him, pushing himself away from the ceiling, feeling himself sail through the air towards the ground. Gasps whispered through the air as he fell but before he reached his impending death, Keith turned his body so he landed gracefully in a crouched position, his head lowered.
"Who the hell are you?" The biggest guy said as he kept his grip on the bank worker, his gun quickly whipping around so the barrel was staring at Keith.
"Woah! No need to get violent here?" Keith said, his voice muffled and disordered from the bandana. He stood up and casually strolled around the place, looking around to make sure everyone was unharmed and ok. Keith didn't know why he was acting so casual and calm because if this happened a week ago he would be freaking out but now, now he could feel the adrenaline rush through him, he could sense all eyes on him and the robbers as the superhuman maintained a composed appearance.
"Now, how about you let the little banker man go and we can take a trip down to the police station?" Keith said cockily, which wasn't like himself. He smirked slightly underneath the bandana, liking how the adrenaline gave him a confidence boost.
The biggest guy looked confused at Keith before glaring. "Shut up freak." He said before shooting at Keith.
In Keith's mind everything slowed down. He took in every detail at that moment as a plan concocted in his brain. A twinkle sparked in Keith's indigo eyes as everything went back to normal. Keith quickly dodged the bullet watching as it zoomed past him and dug itself into a wall, the hostages screaming in terror as they flinched from the sound.
"Wow. Guess you don't want to talk. Alright." Keith cracked his knuckles before ran fast towards the biggest guy. The robber was about to shoot but Keith was quicker. He swiftly grabbed his wrist and turned it in such away that caused him pain; maybe spraining the wrist; to make him drop the pistol. As the guy cried out Keith was quick to roundhouse kick his side and gently pushed the bank worker out of the way; the worker stumbled before running to the other hostages who watched Keith with fear and amazement.
While the big guy was down, one of the brothers ran up behind Keith and wrapped his arm around the masked hero's neck, tightening his grip. Keith's indigo eyes widened as he gasped for breath before his impulse kicked in again. He reached up and grasped on to the first brothers arm and used it as leverage, swinging his legs up hard and fast causing all his body weight to go down on his attacker, pushing him to fall back as Keith swung over him and landed on his knees, regaining his breath back. The other brother was quick to react and swung at Keith with the hilt of his pistol. Side stepping the blow, the superhuman smiled as he latched onto the arm the swung at him and jerked the last guy forward and brought his knee up hard into the guys stomach causing him to double over and fall down to the ground next to his brother.
Keith stood up straight and started to catch his breath as he looked around at all the hostages. "Is everyone unharmed?" He asked, his voice deeper from the fight and from it being muffled by the bandana.
The group that was stuck in the bank nodded in slight awe of what happened. Keith nodded and quickly broke down the barricade that blocked the door and was quick to leave, but not before he heard startled gasps from the crowd outside as Keith quickly climbed up the nearest wall and hopped onto the rooftops with one thing on his mind: he was so late for school.
One thing he failed to notice as he left was that a certain brown haired tan boy was also late.
