Nixi

Kurt looked at the black material that Robbie held in his hand. Examining it, he realized what it was. "Oh this. This is Nixicium. Nixi for short. It's bullet proof like kevlar, it's invulnerable to knives and it's also fire resistant. It won't protect you from extremely high damage." Robbie felt the material. It felt like leather. "Yes. This one. I like it." Kurt handed the material to a pair of robotic arms. "Take this and make him a suit. Tailor it to his style. The robotic arms whirred and dissappeared. Robbie stretched his hands out as another pair measured him.

After a few minutes, the robotic hands came in with a beautiful black suit with an orange trim on the sides. It also had a better mask than the one before. And it had a pair of black and orange gloves with matching boots. Robbie was amazed at the design of the suits. It wasn't a spandex skin tight suit, it didn't have a cape or tights and it was bulletproof. How much better could it get? Zipping into the changing room with visible excitement, he changed as fast as he could, Robbie came back with the new mask over his face and some goggles over his eyes. Kurt frowned. "You do know that you can trust us, right?" Robbie froze. The smile slipped off his face. "Its not that I don't trust you. Its just that I'm trying to protect my family." Kurt nodded. "I understand. I can wait until you're ready to tell me." Robbie smiled. Starlad rolled his eyes.
(This is the suit)

Robbie suited up in his new suit, buckling his belt. Robbie recognized that the belt was the same type that Starlad had. Fiddling around the belt, a chip sprung into the air. Robbie caught the chip, turning it over. "What's this?"he asked. That is the chip that powers the belt. The belt is nixicium coated, and fire proof by the way. So you don't need to worry about it burning." Kurt explained. Robbie smirked. "I'm totally dripped out now!"he said grinning. Starlad floated out of the room scoffing. Robbie rolled his eyes, thanking Kurt. Picking up his old suit, he put his hand in it's jacket pocket taking out the S which Kurt gave him. Putting it on his chest, he double tapped it, causing the space suit to form around him. Kurt also double tapped his S and his regular suit formed on him. Walking towards the door, Superion did fingerprint and a retinal scan, waiting for the door to whir, and click. The door opened, letting the heroes out. Fortitude and Superion stepped out into the other chamber, waiting for the door behind them to close. The door infront off them opened and Superion floated out. Fortitude lightly bounced around in the low gravity, following him.

Arriving at the portal, Fortitude shielded his eyes as the portal powered up. In a split second, he was back in the coffee shop. He double tapped the S, causing the suit to retract. He held the S out to Superion. "That your's to keep. If you want to come back here again, you can signal me on your belt. I'll let you figure out how to use it." Superion winked, blasting off into the air. Fortitude sped off, going back to Emmersville. Looking for Johnny in every alley and street corner,  Fortitude spent hours searching. It was almost closing time at the diner. Listening out for Johnny, Fortitude narrowed in on him at home, talking with his father about what to do about the cracked table. Robbie sighed. He was fine. Speeding into his neighborhood, he zipped into a nearby alley, changing quickly. As he was walking towards the diner, CJ and his crew rode over to him. "Ayo Robbert! Mr Paralès says you need to meet him in his office." "Thought you was slick ey boi?"he said, snickering. His friends roared with laughter. Robbie gritted his teeth. CJ was a pain in the butt for as long as he could remember. He walked away leaving a sniggering CJ and his crew mocking him.  They were not old enough to be drinking, but Robbie could smell the alcohol coming from their breath from a mile away. Literally. Robbie walked inside the diner, looking at his workmates faces. They all pointed towards the office. Robbie hurried over to Mr Paralès office. Opening the door, he saw Mr Paralès reading a newspaper. He stood at the doorway waiting to be acknowledged. "Robbie. Come, sit down." Robbie closed the door and sat down in the chair. "Hey Mr Paralès. Sorry I was late to-" Mr Paralès held up his hand. "Where were you Robbie? Is it true you joined a gang?"he asked with an uneasy tone. "What? No!  Who told you that?"asked Robbie asked, confused. Mr Paralès eyes stared directly into Robbie's. "Damn it! Don't you lie to me Robbie!" Mr Paralès said, angrily. "Wayne told me that CJ saw you with a bunch of boys beating on a kid." Robbie clenched his teeth. CJ was gonna pay for this. "Look Mr Paralès,  im not in a gang I swear." Mr Paralès shook his head. "Then tell me why are you showing up to work so late recently!" He demanded. Robbie froze. He didn't know what to say. As much as he trusted Mr Paralès,  he couldn't tell him about his powers. Robbie opened his mouth to give an answer, only to realize he didn't have any. He looked away. "Look Mr Paralès, I wasn't in a gang, I swear." He repeated. Mr Paralès looked at Robbie. "Your old man, Herman, he was a good man. He never stole from or cheated anyone.  He served  his country and died with a good name. Don't let his name down." Robbie looked down. Was this letting his father down? Was Mr Paralès right?

Later that night, Robbie sat silently in his room. He could remember  the soft whisper that the soldier spoke in when he told his mother that his father had died. He remembered that there was a superhero outside, in a soldier van. And in his eyes, there was knowledge. Knowledge of what really happened to his father.
