Jason woke up on a soft bed. He tried to go back to sleep, but the harsh sun rays reflected on his face... it was burning hot."You're awake... Finally." Ivy said to him with a smile.
"Where am I?"Jason asked looking around to recall anything."You are in your bedroom." Ivy said to Jason."What happened to me?"Jason asked as he reached out his hand to touch his head... it was covered in a heavy bandage."You mean you don't remember? We fought Mad Patch and we have two weeks till our training. You can't possibly forget that!" Ivy reminded and Jason quickly recalled the painful, and wicked fight... The goddess was fair by also including Ivy in the training. She played a big part in the battle."Jason... just so you know, your parents are coming in tonight." Ivy said. Jason stood up and held Ivy's warm, soft hands."Let's go decorate the house for them" He said. That was when he realised that one of Ivy's leg was covered in a bandage. And she had some crutches to give her support."You... Your leg. What happened to it?"Jason asked with a lot of concern."Oh...I guess when Mad Patch threw me when I went to save you in time, I sprained my ankle. And all the times he threw me... it made matters worse. No big deal, it'll heal." Ivy said trying to make Jason forget the topic."You got this... from fighting for me?"Jason asked. Ivy smiled to say Yes. Jason embraced her in his arms and they hugged... not that brief. That was when he felt the warmth in her arms.
"Hey, how about we throw a welcome party for them instead?!" Ivy suggested and brought out a dusty box. On it, a clear description was there. In a red paint, Ivy was clearly written ; Surprise Decorations!
She blew the dust out and coughed a little. Then she opened the little cardboard box."Wow! You have all these things?!"Jason asked."Yeah! My... mom was an...artist... before she died." Ivy said with grief. She stared at the floor."Hey... it's alright. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I told you... you can live with me and my family."Jason said trying to comfort her."It's not your fault... But, are you sure your parents will like me?" Ivy asked."They'll love you. You're awesome. You're beautiful, skilled, talented and you're perfect."Jason assured. Ivy's cheeks hear gone blush red. And Jason just smiled."Let's start decorating."Jason said and scanned the box with his eyes.
Soon they began... Jason had already made banners... well, he was still nailing them, while Ivy made invitations to all their(Jason's parents) friends and relatives. When they were done, they stopped for a lunch break. They ordered for tacos and they ate until they were full. They laughed and drank soda together and soon it was evening."You know your parents seem like great people... well, from your description." Ivy said. Her head was on Jason's lap."Like I said, they'll love you"Jason assured again. DING DONG! They were here and everyone was hiding in position. WELCOME! Everyone ran to hug them. Jason held Ivy's hand and brought her to his parents."Who is that pretty damsel?" Edna asked."Mom, Dad I would like you to meet Ivy, my girlfriend."Jason said."Oh... My son's becoming a Man!" Edna gladly screamed. Gareth hugged Jason."I'm proud of you son" He said. That was when Edna noticed Ivy's broken and bandaged leg and her crutches."I don't think I'm supposed to ask but, what happened to you two? I mean... Jason has a bandage and Ivy has a broken leg." Edna said as she carefully caressed Ivy's front hair... Her hair was blue and soft and straight and shiny. Edna wondered if it was her hair and beauty that attracted Jason to her or love.
"Oh... there's something we need to tell you." Ivy said."We... are superheroes. I'm Quicksilver and she's Spark Fly."Jason confessed."You mean those new superheroes the world is talking about?" Edna asked breathlessly."Yeah and we're getting training in two weeks."Jason added."Oh this is great news?"Gareth said and hugged his son, then kissed his wife in the forehead. Soon they went to the basement to see their powers for themselves."Ok... you might wanna move back a bit " Ivy said and they did. She madea bolt of electricity and the dim basement was bright."Wow. You have electric powers. Amazing!" Edna said and gleefully clapped her hands. Jason stood up and was floating. He threw a ball far out, then he used his superspeed to get it, then he flew out and came in and lastly, he threw a block up and blasted it with his hand."Impressive! Son,I am so proud of you... and your beautiful girlfriend, Ivy." Edna said."Now let's enjoy the party."Gareth said and took his wife downstairs.
The next day, Ivy and Jason were in the basement closing boxes, dusting shelves, when a flash of light appeared. The goddess was back."The time for your training is coming. I hope you're ready"She said and disappeared. Now the challenge was coming."I can't wait!" Ivy excitedly said and dropped her box."It's in two weeks... we gotta get really ready for then. But, for now let's wait till then. We've got a huge adventure ahead of us. Alright, let's finish our work."Jason said and got back to dusting.
