(Readers POV)

Top stared at me, like she's looking into my soul. I've seen Top a few times in person, but they were very brief. I can't help but have this feeling in me. A feeling that this isn't going to be easy or fun.

Top: My name is Top. It's a pleasure for you to be here.

She bowed down. I heard from people that she's rude and disrespectful to random people, but she isn't being that right now.

(Y/N): No, the pleasure is mine.

I bowed down too. We both stood straight.

Top: I'm sure you're wondering why you are here and not being babied by your mother.

(Y/N): I thought she would've picked me.

Top: She was going to, but I refused that decision.

(Y/N): Wait what?! Why did you do that?!

Top: I have my reasons. Plus, I don't think Super's ways as a Hero aren't the best, even if she's Number 1.

(Y/N): Aren't the best? What does that mean?

Top: You are just full of questions. I bet Super is being all super nice and supportive to my son and that other girl he fought during the tournament.

Her son? Mom being supportive? Other girl he fought?

(Y/N): You're Dave's mom?!

Top just smiled and walked past me.

Top: Enough questions. Get inside.

She opened the front door of her house. I thought she would've had a huge house, but I guess my house isn't the biggest either. Me and Top walked inside of the house. We walked into a living room. It only has a couch, a small tv, and a table. She walked into another room. I followed her and I'm in a kitchen now. I saw someone sitting at a table and they looked at me.

(Y/N) and Isabelle: You!

We pointed at each other.

Isabelle: What are you doing here?!

(Y/N): I'm the one going to ask the questions here!

Top: You do that enough already.

I noticed a collar around Isabelle's neck. I pointed at it.

(Y/N): What's up with the choker?

Isabelle's face went a shade of dark red.

Isabelle: This isn't a choker!

Top: It's a collar that doesn't let the wearer use their Power. She's pretty mush useless.

That kind of stuff exists?

Top: Now that you two know each other, we are going outside.

Isabelle: Like hell I'm going to get bossed around by a woman with one arm!

Top stopped in her tracks and looked back at Isabelle. Top grabbed Isabelle by the hair and threw her out of the kitchen.

(Y/N): Ohmygod!

Top: Have any objections?

I shook my head no really fast. How did Dave survive with this woman as his mom?! I quickly walked out of kitchen and saw Isabelle getting up from the ground. I grabbed her hand and started to to drag her outside.

Isabelle: Let go of me!

(Y/N): I don't want you to make that monster mad and I get caught in the crossfire.

Me and Isabelle went outside. I waited for Top to walk out, but she hasn't yet.

(Y/N): Top?

Isabelle: Woman is probably having trouble with the door.

I saw the door slam open and Top is dashing right at me with her trident ready. I tried to get out of the way, but she cut some of my arm, drawing a lot of blood.

(Y/N): OW!!!

Top: Now I want to try something.

(Y/N): I think you already did!

Top: Just be quiet for a moment. Start using your Power and focus on your wound.

I just looked at Top with confusion and frustration. Top raised her trident, about to attack me again.

(Y/N): Times 100!

A red aura surrounded my body and I started to focus my Power on my arm. The wound slowly closed and healed completely. Top smiled and stabbed her trident into the ground.

(Y/N): How did you know-

Top: During your fight with Isabelle, after you went into that weird powerful form, all your wounds from your fight healed. I was just seeing if you could of replicated it. A lot of people don't realize that their Powers can do so much more than they think.

(Y/N): And what if I couldn't of healed myself?

Top: Then you would have a bloody arm for awhile. But you figured out that your Power can speed up healing. Now, ready to get pushed to your absolute limit and then some?

I think I don't have a say in that. Man, I hope Ivy and Katie are having fun with their training.

(Ivy's POV)

Me and Dave are standing in front of Super in her front yard. Super and her husband are looking at us.

Super: So from now on, you two are my pupils!

(Y/N)'s Dad: You two are going to make sure you don't destroy anything that's mine. Got it?

Dave: Yes sir.

Ivy: You got it.

Super reached into her pocket and pulled out four weights.

Super: Here. For your training, you'll have to wear these weights.

Super tossed two of the weights to me and the other two to Dave. We caught the weights, but we immediately went down to the ground.

Ivy: What the hell are these?

Dave: So... Heavy...

Super: I was able to keep the weights I used while I fought Dave. Put them on. Two hundred tons for each person.

Me and Dave put our weights on our arms. Me and Dave slowly stood up. It feels like my arms are about fall off already.

(Y/N)'s Dad: Here's your first training task. You will have a quick match with Super, but you can't destroy the environment around you. That means no hitting the house or destroy the lawn.

Super: Heroes have to be careful of their surroundings when they fight crime. No point in stopping crime if you are doing more damage.

Dave took a step forward, but he fell down to the ground.

Dave: These weights... I don't like them very much.

I tried to raise my hands, but I couldn't. I made another pair of arms and tried to lift my arms with the weights on. Even with more arms, these are still heavy.

Super: Come on. You two have to get close to me if you want to hit me.

Ivy: But it's really hard.

Super: ...You know, (Y/N) never cared about that.

Dave: What?

(Y/N)'s Dad: Even when I thought it was too tough for (Y/N), he always surprised me and kept going. I'm proud of him for that.

Super: I remember when he had to deal with his first hardship.

(Flashback) (Super's POV)

I'm taking (Y/N) to the hospital. He still hasn't figured out how to activate his Power yet.

(Y/N): Mommy, where are we going?

Super: We are going to the hospital. It's going to help you how to use your Power.

(Y/N) got really excited and started to jump around.

(Y/N): Yay! And then I can be a Hero like you mommy!

Super: That's right sweetie.

I picked (Y/N) up and walked into the hospital. I walked into a room and after a bit of waiting, a doctor walked in.

Doctor: So you are Super and (Y/N), right?

Super: That's right. We're here to see what is Power is.

Doctor: How old is he?

Super: He's five and a half.

Doctor: Not too unusual. Kids don't know how to use their Power until age 5 or 6.

(Y/N): I don't know how to activate it.

Doctor: So it's one of those cases. Good thing I'm the perfect man for the job.

The doctor walked up to (Y/N) and grabbed his shoulder.

Doctor: My Power is making people use their Power. So I want you to be ready for anything.

(Y/N) took a deep breath and nodded. (Y/N) grabbed onto my hand.

Doctor: We are going to see your Power in 3... 2... 1...

(Y/N)'s body gained a red aura around it.

(Y/N): What is this-

The red aura got bigger and (Y/N) started to scream in pain. The doctor immediately took his hand off (Y/N), making the red aura disappear. (Y/N) hugged me and held on tightly.

(Y/N): What was that?!

Doctor: Oh dear. This isn't good.

Super: What isn't good?

Doctor: So his Power is a type that increases strength. I've seen many types of Powers like that, but his is different.

Super: Different?

Doctor: His body can't handle the strength increase of his Power. This might be hard to hear, but he might have a dud Power.

Super: A dud Power?

Doctor: Yes. A dud Power is a Power that either does nothing or only hurts the user. I'm surprised that his Power may be a dud because you're the Number 1 Hero, but he won't be a Hero with a Power like that.

(Y/N) started to shake and tears came out of his eyes. I felt bad for him. I picked him up.

Super: Thanks for taking time out of your day for us.

I left the room with (Y/N) in my arms. I walked out of the hospital and looked down at (Y/N). Seeing him crying is tearing my heart. I rubbed his back, trying to calm him down.

(Y/N): Mommy...

Super: Yes, sweetie?

(Y/N): He said I couldn't be a Hero... Is that true?

I felt a pit in my stomach. I tried to respond, but my voice won't come out. (Y/N) looked up at me with his tear stained face.

(Y/N): Can you help me become a Hero?

I felt some tears form in the corners of my eyes. I smiled at (Y/N) and nodded my head.

Super: Of course I will. I'm your mother after all.

(Flashback End) (Ivy's POV)

Super: That day afterwards, (Y/N) trained his heart out to be where he is now. I won't take this training being too hard as an excuse! If you don't want to train with me, then you can take those weights off, go back home, and stop trying to become Heroes!

Dave grunted and slowly got up. He took a step forward. He slowly raised his hands up.

Dave: I've gotten too far to give up now. If Rival can do it, then why shouldn't I?!

Ivy: Yeah, that's right. This training will be a piece of cake!

(Y/N)'s Dad: Good to see you two are fired up now.

He closed his eyes and when he opened them back up, his eyes got a subtle purple-ish glow to them.

(Y/N)'s Dad: Now let hell begin.
