It had been a few weeks since I discovered my powers, and I was still getting used to them. I had learned to control my electric abilities and had even found a costume to wear when I was on superhero duty. it was a red and black suit with lighting bolt designs on it, and it made me feel more confident as Sparks.
But as much as I enjoyed using my powers to help people, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something sinister lurking in the shadows. I had heard rumors of a criminal organization that was experimenting with superpowers, and I knew that I had to investigate.
One night, I was patrolling the city, I stumbled upon a group of criminals robbing a jewelry store. They were armed and dangerous, and I knew that I had to stop the,. I flew down and landed in front of them, crackling with electricity.
"Stop right there!" I shouted, my voice booming with power.
The criminals laughed and raised their guns, aiming at me. "Who do you thing you are, kid?" one of them sneered.
"I'm Sparks, and I won't let you get away with this!" I replied, my fists sparkling with energy.
The criminals opened fire, but I was too fast for them. I dodged the bullets and zapped them with bolts of lighting, sending them flying back. One of them managed to get away, but I caught the other two and tied them up with some wire.
As I was about to call the police, a figure emerged from the shadows, clapping sarcastically.
"Well done, Sparks. You live up to your name," the figure said.
I tense up, realizing that this must be the leader of the criminal organization I had heard about. "Who are you?" I demanded.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a tall man with a scarred face and suit that seemed to be made out of metal. "I am Steelclad, and I've been watching you, Sparks. you have quite the potential," he said.
I bristled at the thought of this villain watching me, but I tried to stay calm. "I won't let you get away with your crimes, Steelclad," I said crackling with electricity.
Steelclad chuckled." You're just a kid with a fancy costume and some parlor tricks. you have no idea what you're up against," he said, raising his hand.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and I felt a surge of energy. I realized too late that Steelclad had been hiding his true powers, and I was no match for him. He sent me flying with a blast of energy, and I crashed into a nearby building, barely conscious.
As I struggled to get up, Steelclad approached me, a sinister smile on his face. "You have a lot to learn, Sparks. And I'm going to be your teacher," he said before disappearing into the night.
I knew that my journey as a hero was just beginning, and that the road ahead would be full of challenges and dangers. But I was determined to stop Steelclad and put a end to his criminal empire, no matter the cost.
