Jasper P.O. V
* Beep beep- click! *
" Yawn.... "
Waking up, I look at my alarm clock. Seeing that it was four in the morning.
Ugh..... To be honest... I just want to go back to sleep. But I really, really want to watch some TV, so I force myself to get up. Stretch my arms a bit before leaving my bed so I can walk out of my room.
Rubbing my eyes to remove something, I arrive at the kitchen and move to a chair. Laying on the table to rest my eyes.
' I must resist! Resist for the sake of the TV!! '
* Thud *
" Hey you're holding up? "
" Ugh.... Y-yeah, never better "
Smiling. I try to make it seem like I'm not tired. I'm showing dad that I can wake up early in the morning. Dad looks worried as he takes a sip from his mug and says, " Look, Jasper. I know that you really wanted to watch some TV, but you don't have to wake every 4 A.M.. "
" But Pappy and marsh.... Flintlock.... And Lamb against the world start's at 5:30. I can't miss that.... "
" Yeah, yeah, you'll get to watch those cartoons later. At least take care of yourself or sleep a little earlier next time. "
" Yes, dad.... "
* Thud- slurp *
" Mmm!? Agh! "
" Careful it's hot "
My tongue....
I tried to stick it out to cool my tongue before taking another sip. Taking me a while to adjust to the hot cocoa. After what it seems to be like a ugh.... Few minutes I guess.... I don't feel tired anymore, so I tried to finish the hot cocoa and leave the kitchen.
Taking my towel from my room so I can go to the bathroom to take a shower. Quickly finishing my shower so I can wipe myself from the remaining soap and water before leaving to my room.
* Crea- thud! *
I run to my closet to take some clothes. Wearing some shirt, jacket, underwear and some pants while I look at my clock to check the time.
* Click *
Good, it's only 5:04 a.m. I still have time.
* Rustle! *
Pulling my pants up. I fix it before grabbing my bag. As I was about to leave, I stopped for a moment to look at my calendar. I am walking towards it so I can flip one piece of the calendar to see my birthdate.
April 2....
I've been waiting for this moment in my entire life! Dad promise that his going to buy us our very own TV during my birthday so I better remind him just encase if he forgets. I'm not losing this chance!
I grab a marker from my desk and circle around it. Marking it as a reminder.
" There, Dad I'm done! "
" Alright just let me finish "
Dad said as I jump out of my desk and walk towards the kitchen. Moving towards a chair so I can wait for him. He manages to finish the mug as he puts it in the sink before grabbing the keys and leave.
I follow along as we both leave the apartment. Closing the door, before walking outside towards the car.
* Thud *
Getting in, dad starts the car as we drive through the neighborhood. There wasn't anything else to do inside the car, so I just stared outside the window.
Watching a few buildings, trees, a guy with two lizard tails, graffiti, a lady walking her dog, a restaurant opening to some woman with fins for ears yadda yadda yadda...
Sigh.... There's nothing exciting to see. It would be cool if there were a vigilante and a villain fighting in the building. You know, using their abilities to do cool shit, throwing hands, and then kicking the villain in the ass? I would die to see that very moment.
Sadly, this neighborhood just stinks. Do I really have to live in this boring neighborhood? While those on the cooler side of the city get to see some cool shit.
Sigh. I guess I'm cursed to live like this.
It took us a while to arrive at the garage. Dad stopped to wait for the closed gate to open until it did. Driving through the open gate and parking the car inside.
Without further ado, I take off my seat belt and leave the car. Stretching my arms, before taking a look at the mini fridge. I plan to start the day with some cereal.
" Morning Jasper "
" Morning Uncle Vincent "
* Crea- *
I open the mini fridge as I spot two boxes of cereal on the bottom part of the fridge. Hmmm, well, I'm in the mood for more sugar, so I'll take some honey smacks and milk.
* Thud *
" Hey uncle Vincent, where did you put the bowls? "
" There on the back next on the griller "
" Okay "
Standing up, I walk to the back of the garage. Opening the door as I try to find the griller. Luckily, I manage to find it as I check around the griller to see a stack of bowls next to some weird-looking silver mallet with ugh edges; I think.
Though it's weird, the mallet thingy has some blood and bits of pieces of meat on it. Eh, I'm sure it's nothing. Uncle does have a weird thing for meat, so he must have used it on the meat on the top side of the mini fridge.
I tried to find some spoons for a while until I found one and left. Walking towards the TV as I turn it on and switch the channel before sitting back. Pouring milk at the first before the cereal.
Everything's going fine. Flintlock was on, meaning I only have two more shows to watch before school, and dad will never know that I flunked my math test since I secretly stole his pen to add another zero at the end of my score. Hehe, the perfect crime~
As I pat myself on the back for successfully avoiding the wrath of the belt, Flintlock suddenly changes to a commercial. Forcing me to watch some commercials for some toys or whatever until it changes to the news.
" Breaking news. Two more people had disappeared again on the lower east side of Manhattan. Police are collecting more evidence as blood, spikes and a few properties damage have spread out in the deep parts of the lower east sides alley.
Detective Cornwell suspects the kidnapper to posse's a meta ability that is a mixture or similar to super strength, speed, stealth or teleportation. Right now, no known pictures have been caught on camera, as the police are on high alert for this kidnapper.
These are the suspected missing victims. Arwin Carriers and Thomas Ross. As their families are mourning for their lost "
* Munch *
" Hmmm again? "
* Munch munch *
It looks like it's getting out of hand. Well, if there's one thing interesting about my neighborhood, it's this or the Skydive, I guess. But I barely even get to see them in action on the new.
I'm tired of just waiting around for something to happen. Where's the fight? The cool vigilantes and villains! The amazing batshit superpowers!
You know what? screw it!
If excitement doesn't come to me, then I'll come to them.
I thought, while taking a bite out of my cereal. Determine to find a vigilante like Skydive or the kidnapper who caused this disappearance, record them, and post it on the internet for everyone to see.
Though..... How am I supposed to do that?
Dad does have a camera locked on top of the shelf, but we don't have a computer. So how am I supposed to post it on the internet?
I thought. I was thinking about how I should get a computer until my head landed on Jay. He has a computer, so what if I try asking him if he could let me use his computer to upload those videos?
Oh, and the problems with finding a vigilante as well... Hmm, for now, I'll try to go solo and explore the other neighborhoods. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and record a pretty amazing fight scene.
With another bite. I try to think of a few words I could use to convince Jay. Heck, I could even convince him and my friends to be in on this if they like.
