By now you should remember that my friends and I are superheroes. Or at least trying to be, as we haven't really done anything super.
We have done things that people our age can only dream of, though it does start off as any superhero team's legacies begin. With Tragedy
It all began on 7/22/2022, in Seattle, WA.
A normal midsummer day was just what I thought at the time until I saw an unfortunate scene that is still burned into the back of my mind. My mom and dad, sitting in the living room on the floor, and a man in a mask with a gun in his hands. The man shot my dad as I came in to take a closer look through a window and in a moment that scarred me for life. I ran around the house to enter through the back so I could get the masked man from behind. But as soon as I entered the backyard I saw the thing that would change my life forever.
Halfway in the ground, I saw a case with a weird symbol on it. It looked like a sword or something which I forgot to mention last time. I guess in the heat of the moment I forgot about it till now.
Anyways, besides that, you must remember how that case held the power watch that, like a Ben 10 situation, latched onto my wrist. And that watch caused me to combust into a ball of fire. However, for some reason, the fire did not hurt me.
So I didn't think about my situation of being on fire. Instead I ran inside and shot a fireball at the attacker which knocked him out in an instant. And in a moment of clarity, I comforted my mom and somehow healed my dad a little by speeding up his cell regeneration with my heat. I then made a decision to leave home for a while to hone my new powers so I could not be a burden on my family and hurt anyone else.
So I flew away, after a little mishap, and ended up on top of Mount Everest. Ridiculous as it sounds it did happen, and it became 07/24/2022 when things shifted into high gear. I had spent two days honing the fire I now wielded and found that I could turn off the fire form, conjure fire out of thin air, give shape to the fire, and even choose if the fire was meant to burn something or even someone. However, as I was beginning to think I was getting a better handle on my powers. I accidentally released a Super Fire Mode which began to burn all the snow and ice around me. I stopped it, only to find that when the ice melted it revealed the briefcase that had my watch inside. It didn't take me long to freak out again and want to throw the case off the side of the mountain. However, the case began to glow again, but instead of another watch coming out. A portal opened and a person came out. And this person was my friend Jack Whiley. He came out and he had an Orange watch, which gave him the power to become a rock monster like The Thing. It also allowed him to harden his skin like a rock.
A few minutes later, two of my other friends came out of another portal. They were Caleb Saturn and Reeve Ender, they were apparently hanging out with each other when the portal appeared, and they came out with watches too. Caleb had the Blue watch which allowed him to control water which he used to manipulate the ice around him and make it disperse as water. And Reeve Had the Yellow watch which made him shrink at first but then made him grow to a gigantic size and that size was taller than the mountain we were standing on.
As we settled down again, another portal opened and out came a near-naked guy who was also my friend. Josh Black, who as well as the rest, came out with a different colored watch, which this one was Green. It allowed him to become anything or anyone, with the added ability to turn anything he touches into anything else though it only worked on non-living things. He was a good friend who helped me get into shape and was near-naked cause he was about to take a shower. I had to give him my clothes cause it was too late for him to go back into the portal to grab some clothes.
For those of you who thought, "Hey, how is everyone breathing on top of the mountain?" To answer that, I surrounded the top of the mountain with a fire bubble to create a pocket of air by bringing in more oxygen. It was a chemical reaction that was on a subatomic level and they didn't even notice because the heat was not visible to the naked eye.
And the last person to come out was my girlfriend, Janet Witeman. She uses the purple watch to turn herself or others invisible, and she also has the ability to move stuff with her mind which adds the ability to lift herself allowing her to fly. She was one of the only people who noticed I was gone and was worried that something happened to me. So some friends I have, right.
Anyways, to make it a little shorter let's skip past the part where we decided our hero names and the team's name. Visiting my dad in the hospital, then finding out my dad was a part of a group of scientists who created the power watches and how he wore all of them to become a hero himself. And how we made a bunch of money performing stunts and stuff and bought a mansion in beverly hills.
Okay, so after we moved all our families down to our mansion and had it renovated by my dad's old lab partner, Mr. Electron to be our high tech mission base and housing for the team members. It also housed a super computer and some hover vehicles, as well as a teleporter that could teleport us anywhere. We got settled in and went right to training, led by my dad who knew the tricks to our powers and which ones complemented each other best. It only took a month for us to spring into action.
Our first mission, deal with a recently attacked city and help with damage control. And at all cost, catch the person who caused all the damage.
It didn't take long to find the culprit because he came to us. And just like that we took him down. But we froze him so we had to do something otherwise he could've ended up with frostbite. So we took him back to our base and found out that the culprit was Bryce Summers, an old friend of mine. Things happened and later my dad was mind controlled and attacked us with a stone that gave him the ability to mimic our powers. I stopped him but while I locked him up, my team was attacked by Bryce and he fled.
We tried to track him down but we couldn't find him anywhere on earth. So we decided to look off earth and tried to find anything in space. However, to get there safely we had to fix our broken teleporter. So we hatched a plan to get the part we needed from a Japanese science lab that my dad had history with. We had to go stealthy which ended badly and ended up running into some trouble when we met Changying Zhao. She was saved by my dad back in the day, which happened because a villain attacked the base and almost burnt it down. He saved her, but he was falsely blamed for the incident and Japan banned any heroes from their nation.
She saw me and Reeve and freaked out, until I calmed her down and she decided to help us as a favor to my dad.
She led us to where the device was being stored, and after an argument with some Japanese scientists. Our idea of going to the moon was debunked because Bryce burst through the wall and we got to talkin.
He explained that we couldn't find him because of an ability he has called Masking, which allowed him to mask his presence for any given amount of time. As bullcrap of an ability that was, he copporated nonetheless. So we negotiated a deal where we could set up a meeting with his boss and settle things. And like a copporating idiot would, he agreed and led us to his boss. I had him carry a small Reeve for safety because I fly using fire, and it was a precautionary measure in case I thought of attacking.
As we flew off, I had the rest of the team get the device and reassure Changying that everything would be okay from then on. They even used Josh's ability to fix the wall and robot security.
After that, they had to use my suit tracker and follow my tail wish had already crossed the ocean and was over Las Vegas. We landed on a casino and entered a sweet that transformed into a lair where we met another person from my father's past. Mr Neutron, my father's and Mr. Electrons's other lab partner who helped create the power watches. After he tried to steal the watches for himself, my dad used them to stop him. However he escaped prison and has been on the loose ever since. Although me and my friends had already suspected Mr. Neutron as the culprit who made Bryce do what he did. Things were set for me and Reeve to capture them both, which we did. But not before I found out that Mr. Neutron was the one who shot my dad and started this whole thing. Not only did I capture him and Bryce, I knocked the heck out of him. After that, I contacted Janet and the rest then had them come pick us up and bring us back to the base for interrogations.
Things went fast and it ended with us freeing Bryce from his control for real.
And that leads us to here, in the now. We are dealing with Bryce and figuring out what to do with Mr. Neutron. But let us explore that together.
