So there you go, That's how I got the powers, but to be a superhero, that's a little harder. How do I know what is happening, right when it happens? I had another brother who is in a special school on the other side of town. I don't mean "Special" special, I mean really frickin smart special. The school he goes to works differently from other schools, like the students grade each other on projects for one thing. Anyway, I flew over there after school and Paul was surprised.
"Hey, kiddo! I haven't seen you in forever!" I gave him a hug. Paul was tall and scrawny. Almost lanky in a way. He had short, shaggy light brown hair, and always had a collared shirt on him. I probably embarrassed him in front of his entire class. He turned to the others. "Take five, guys. This will only be a moment." We walked out of the classroom. "So they didn't have school today or what?" I gasped without meaning to. I forgot, it took an hour to get over here, more than that if the traffic was bad. My school let out at 2:00, and its now 2:37. The only reason I didn't arrive sooner was because I tied up a gang mugging a poor man. "Uh, the traffic wasn't at all that bad today." He nodded. "Uh huh. So are Mom and Dad here too?" "Uh, no." He gave me a puzzling look. "Then how..." "Candy's Dad dropped me off." "I see." He's not buying it. He was always way too smart, even for my own good.
"Uh, I need a favor." He arched an eyebrow. "What is it?" "Well, I had a bet with a friend. You see, we, uh, were having a discussion on superheroes, and we were arguing that a device could or could not let you know if there's danger or not. Like if there's a crime happening right now, it would let you know right away." He thought about it. "You mean, kind of like a Bat-Super Computer-Pager or something?" "Yeah." He thought about it. "It....could be possible. You would have to have the correct police scanner and computer. But yeah, it could be done."
"Could you make it?" "What?" "Can you build it?" "Why?" "I thought it would be a good science fair project." He looked at me with that puzzled look he has. Then something dawned on him. "Hey, that would be a great project for the gang. The headmaster would be impressed if we could build something like that." He had that mischievous smile he always had. "Plus, we would plow the Wright Brother's team right into the ground!"
David and Brody, the Wright brothers. Everybody hated them, even their own classmates. They were smart, but they could never out smart Paul. The CEO that owns this school is the father of David and the step father of Brody. Even I know that they sabotage most of the other kids projects, cause there team, as well as the both of them, don't have imaginations of their own. They ruined a lot of people's chances of graduating from here. The only way they couldn't ruin you is if they didn't know what you were working on, and that's hard, since they're are few areas they are restricted from entering.
"OK." He said, "It'll be tough, but I'll do it." I tackled him with a hug. "You are the greatest brother in the world!" "I know." he said in that deep silly voice he always uses.
