Chapter 3 - Meeting Taco man

Ronnie Walking home from the Pro Hero registration headquarters.

Ronnie talking to himself " if they just give me a chance to show myself give me a chance to prove myself. I know I can be a hero there are other ways I don't have to get a license so I can just do good."

Ronnie stopped in his tracks. hearing the screeching of tires coming around the corner. A van is Speeding down the road next to a busy Park with children playing! all of a sudden Ronnie sees a ball bouncing toward the road and a small child chasing after it! before Ronnie could think he ran as fast as he could!

Crash!!!!

the front end of the van caved around Ronnie as he Stoped the van with his body breaking the pavement under his feet! Ronnie's power activated protecting him from the crash!

Ronnie looks back to check on the kid the mother holding it trying to comfort it. Ronnie notices this and decides to check on the driver.

As he approaches the van he notices it's not just an ordinary van it's a taco truck then a man leaps out of the door. Wearing an orange and red t-shirt and blue jeans and his head was the shape of the taco! and I know that looks strange but in the world full of people with powers. you just kind of accept certain things. so Ronnie didn't think anything about it also he was wearing a tiny Sombrero on the right side of his head.

Taco man States "where are the villains!" very loudly.

Ronnie asked "stranger are you okay?"

Taco man states "I am Taco man a Pro Hero here to save all those in trouble! protects them from the evils that lurk in the shadows!"

Ronnie asked Taco man "are you okay you have just been in a car accident?"

Taco man looking surprised "what a car accident is everyone okay where is it?"

Ronnie "are you sure you're okay you seem to be delusional?"

Taco man States very confidently "I assure you kid it'll take a lot more than just a car crash to stop me."

Ronnie asking very concerning "Why are you driving so fast someone in trouble?"

Taco man puts his hands on his hips. "There's no trouble. I'm just on patrol making sure all the civilians are safe. That's what a Pro Hero does after all. now back to this alleged car crash. We need to start an investigation." placing his hand on his chin looking around for Clues. holding a magnifying glass and detective hat out of nowhere.

Ronnie States angrily "I saw the entire thing!"

Taco man "great let me get your statement on what happened. I need to get all the facts before you forget."

Ronnie "you were speeding down the road for no reason and almost hit this kid until I jumped in front and stop you." pointing at Taco man getting in his face very aggressively "how can you call yourself a Pro Hero! You don't even know what's going on right now. I mean you almost killed that little kid if I wasn't here you would have killed them."

Taco man "wow you stop my car with nothing but your ability you must be a very strong hero!"

Ronnie Says very angrily " what the hell does that have to do with anything! how come you can be a pro and you're so Unaware! but whenever I tried for my license they shut me down. Saying I can't be a pro I'll be a liability that I can't even try!"

Taco man "so you're telling me you can stop a car with nothing more than your strength and they didn't want you to become a hero. how does that make any sense?"

Ronnie starts looking down looking ashamed. "well I can't exactly control it yet I'm still very new to using my powers."

Taco man "all right kid I'll take you in and teach you how to use your power and together we'll climb the ranks and become. Pro Heroes that don't go down in Legend!" propping his knee on a rock and fire appearing around him to make him look cooler.

Ronnie says with a concerning voice. "whare did the special effects come from?"But before Taco man could reply. Ronnie with confusion and a little bit of excitement immediately said. "why would you want me to work for you? I can't even control my power yet. I don't even know if you and me would get along? I mean you don't seem to have any self-control or seem to care about others around you. I mean there was a crying kid and you hit me with your car I don't know if I can work for someone like you."

Taco man puts his arm around Ronnie "look kid I'm sure you're aware there are two ways of becoming a pro. one getting your license. two becoming a sidekick working under a Pro Hero. what hero would want to sidekick that can't control his power? or you could go with option three and become a vigilante. but then other Pro Heroes have the authority to take you down. so it doesn't seem to me like you have an option. it's either partner up with me and let me teach you how to become a pro. or hope one day you figure out how to activate your power all on your own. What do you say do you want to come work for me and we can climb the ranks and become Legendary Heroes!?"

Ronnie begrudgingly " fine I'll join your agency. when do I start?"

Taco man points into the sky "right Now follow me to the Taco mobile!" fire effects appear behind taco man.

Ronnie "if you're talking about your car I'm pretty sure it's broken."

Taco man Getting into his van "don't worry kid I know this car inside and out. I will be able to go Another few hundred thousand miles before it starts to break down."

As taco man drives away with Ronnie in the back of the van you. hear scraping metal and sparks flying off at the car as it goes down the road.
