Chapter 18: Let’s Be Heroes Mr. Larison
"The Sub Enforcers, along with the help of the up-and-coming Poseidon, managed to defeat the villain known as Mars King, a member of the Bad Timers gang. During the fight, a city block was sadly destroyed by the villain's rampaging, but the heroes thankfully managed to evacuate everyone, and thus no one was hurt. I'd expect nothing less from the hero known as Poseidon. After all, she is the current holder of the Lord of the Sea-"
Hope quietly clicked her phone off and pocketed. It explained why she had been forced to go around her usual block. It would be under heavy construction for a few days.
Being grounded didn't matter when her mom was going to be at work all day, and since school was out due to the attack that was stopped by the Sub Enforcers last night, it was pretty easy for her to just walk out of her home and go exploring the city. She had her destination in mind already.
Her fist pounded on the door. It was the middle of the day, and she was afraid he might be at work due to the destroyed block, but she had to try at least.
A loud groan came from the other side of the door as it opened, and she struck. "I want you to be a superhero with me!" She stopped and looked up at the dark-skinned man on the other side of the door; that wasn't Jack Larison.
The man gave her a nod. "I'm in," Nick announced. "When do we start?"
"You weren't who I was looking for," she said awkwardly.
Nick gave the saddest look she had ever seen a grown man have. "Jack!" He screamed. "It's for you!"
"Tell them to go away!" Mr. Larison's voice came from what she suspected was his bedroom door.
"Okay!" Nick turned back to her. "Yeah, sorry, Jack's out right now."
"I'll give you twenty bucks that I swiped off of Armin if you let me in."
