Fluff

Chapter Eleven - Iron Chains

Luis wasn’t sure what he was supposed to be feeling.

He’d had an alright morning, joking with the guys, playing games, chatting up Tim’s babe of a sister. Just a nice day.

His life had taken a turn for the better after Power Day. No more taking anything from his jerk of a step-father, no more being pushed around. Having powers was nice. It was more than nice, it was intoxicating.

He was a big guy, tall enough, wide at the shoulders. He worked out. Figured he’d end up in some job that had a lot of labour, something honest but simple. Now he wasn’t so sure on that account.

So, he was having a nice day. Maybe later he’d have to be a little more responsible with his powers or whatever, but for now the money was just rolling in. He was making new friends and remaking old ones. Girls that hadn’t given him a second look in high school were chatting him up, and when he wanted something, he got it.

So he was being a bit of an ass. That was fine, who wouldn’t be after getting a power? He could be a goody two-shoes later.

He was a hero, after all.
