The scores were changing rapidly, and this three now made it 21-10. Robbie gave his teammates a thumbs up, heading back over to mark Justin. Justin was sweating like crazy,his features stuck somewhere between fear, desperation, and anger. Robbie saw Zeke driving forward with the ball, a vengful grin on his face. Robbie was about to steal the ball from him, when he saw Justin jump in the way, blocking him. Justin was giving his all. His countenance had totally changed. He was laser focused on Robbie, blocking him with everything he had. Robbie looked around, realizing the change of countenance in the room. Everyone on Group One was on the defensive, blocking even Geoffrey. Robbie threw the ball up into the air watching it fall in, through the hoop. Justin caught the ball, which was thrown to him by Andrew. Justin started moving like an NBA star, dribbling and dodging blocks driving the ball up the court. Robbie's eyes widened seeing Justin going for a dunk. Robbie sprang after him jumping up into the air, just before he was about to dunk. Robbie held his hand on the ball trying to force it away from the hoop. Justin grunted, trying to force into the hoop. "Why won't you let me have this? You don't even like basketball!" Justin screamed, his face red with frustration and desperation. Robbie looked at Justin with pity. If he was only playing for himself, he would've let Justin win. " Because I'm playing for a team, and I need to help them win." Robbie responded, pushing the ball away from the hoop leaving a fustrated Justin on the verge of tears. Geoffrey easily caught the ball, shooting a three. The ball rolled on the hoop, going around twice before falling in.

The score was now 21-16. If they kept those threes up, then they would win. Robbie looked back at Justin, who had gotten up, thirsty for vengeance. The entire Group One was totally serious. No one was smiling. The air was tense. They only had an couple minutes left in the game. Group Two were running out of steam, having to exert their bodies harder than usual. Justin looked at his team, signaling them. Passing the ball to Zeke, Justin threw Robbie off guard. Zeke drove the ball up-court, running straight at a tired Geoffrey, who had somehow slipped away from Andrew, his mark. Geoffrey threw his arms out trying to block Zeke. The shorter boy grimaced angrily before jumping into the air, kicking Geoffrey in the chest, while throwing the ball in the ball.

The teenaged giant fell to the ground, the air knocked out of him. The whistle sounded. "Foul! Zeke! You deliberately kicked him. Your shot didn't count. Two more fouls and you are out." The referee said. "Group Two, you get to take an extra two shots. Who do you want to take it?" Robbie looked at his tired team. Stepping forward, he took the ball. He had to make them count. He looked over at Geoffrey who was being carried off the court. Looking over at Zeke he saw the little demon grinning. Robbie got serious. Stepping up to the throw line, he made his first shot, watching the ball go up into the air, then falling into the net seemingly effortlessly. The crowd of students cheered. Group One's supporters had long converted to cheering on Group Two. Justin's face was so red that he looked as if he would burst. Robbie smirked. Closing his eyes, he prayed to God that he made the last shot. Taking the ball from the referee Robbie threw the ball again, in the same pattern, watching as it swished into the basket. The scores were now 21- 20. The crowd roared with excitement. The whole of Group Two, include Geoffrey were smiling. They were going to win now, no doubt about it. Just then, Robbie's super hearing went off. Something was wrong. Robbie hurried over to his team. "Guys, I have to go." He said. "What? You can't leave now, the game is almost done. Besides, without you, or Geoffrey, we'll fail."Ned said, his face creased with worry. Robbie looked at his crestfallen team. "Guys all that you did on the court, all the blocking, passing, and even the scoring, that was all you. Not me. You got this! I believe in you guys. You can do this!" Robbie said, giving the team a final thumbs up, before hurrying out of the gym.

Jessica sat inside her art class, painting a picture of a planet in space. Standing back, she looked at her art in satisfaction. She was improving. Jessica looked out her class window, seeing Robbie sprint by, running towards the bathroom. Jessica's eyes brightened, realizing that some awesome super hero action was about to happen. Jessica raised her hand, getting permission to use the bathroom. Grabbing her bag, she hurried off to the girls bathroom going into a stall and shutting the door. Jessica opened up her bag, the zip making a obnoxiously loud sound. Jessica cringed, opening her bag more gently. Jessica took out a ring out of her bag, putting it on. A suit formed around her as she smirked. Jessica reached into her bag, taking out her mask. Shift was ready to go.

Robbie hopped out the window, hovering. He was right above a class, so he would be pretty much toast if he fell now. He gently floated away from the school slowly, catching the attention of the school's security guard. The guard's eyes bulged, his face frozen in shock. Robbie slowly floated away, watching as the guard rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Robbie took the opportunity to blast off into the air, leaving the guard wondering if he was seeing things. Robbie tensed his body as he felt the air pulling him back. He needed practice. But he didn't have time for that now. He had someone to save. Booming through the air, he listened out, trying to find the source of the cry for help. Robbie slowed down, hovering as he rubbed his head, hearing multiple cries for help, both near and far. Then he heard it. The cry that he had heard. Robbie hesitated. He couldn't just ignore the other cries. Other people were in trouble too. Robbie quickly thought about it, determining what he should do. Groaning, he blasted off in the direction of the nearest cry for help. Landing on the ground he immediately saw the cause of the problem. A pregnant woman was about to give birth. Robbie didn't know how to deliver a baby, but he knew he couldn't leave her like this, she, or her baby could die. The nearest hospital or doctors office was a few miles away. Robbie mentally cursed, breaking the door lock off. He had to help her.

Ayyy what a cliff hanger eh? Robbie might be about to deliver a kid into this world 😂. The things Robbie has to do. Tell me what you think, should Robbie get someone to do it? Or should he do it himself? Let me know in the comments! I'm intrigued by your comments, they help me to improve and they make my day. Here ya go 🍊. It's an orange. Have fun today! Peace ✌️
