Mark bolted at Anxiety while yelling, but Chris jumped in the way and took the punch to the face.
They both fell onto the ground as Anxiety sighed.
He then said," Kids will be kids. Let's go Chris."
Chris then stood up and nodded. Mark pushed himself back up and got ready to go again. He wanted to punch Anxiety not Chris.
Anxiety then knocked on the side of the van and said," You know what. Tiger. Come play with the kids."
The White Tiger opened the car door and stepped out while stretching.
He then said," Yeah? On a few kids really?"
Anxiety sighed and said," They need to learn. Teach them the pain heroes feel... keep it to the minimum though. They still are just kids."
The White Tiger shrugged and said," Alright fine."
He then looked at Mark and said," What is your resolve kid?"
Mark froze staring at him. He could feel the power emitting from him without his powers even being active.
The White Tiger shrugged and said," Huh? Oh well."
He then bolted at Mark and punched him dead in the face and knocked him into the car Carl was hiding behind.
Kelly then yelled," Mark!"
She then ran toward The White Tiger and formed a shard of ice. She then threw it very quickly at his face, but it shattered ways away from him because of his ability.
Mark pushed himself very slowly off the car. He tried to stand by himself, but fell onto the ground. Tears formed in his eyes as he bit his bottom lip.
The White Tiger walked closer to Kelly and said," I do not usually hit women, but just this once I will. Put ice surrounding your head so it can absorb the hit. Just a warning."
Kelly formed ice over her head just in time. The White Tiger then punched her into the barricade in the center of the highway.
Samuel then yelled," You would hit a women?! Damn you were raised wrong."
He then bolted at The White Tiger and tried to kick him in the back of the head, but The White Tiger caught his foot and smirked.
He then said while slamming him down onto the concrete floor," You're already weak. So sit down already."
Blood shot out of Samuel's mouth as he chuckled. The White Tiger looked at him in confusion and said," Why are you laughing?"
Samuel said while looking up at the sky," It... all just happened so quick... I knew if I were to try and do something... I would get hurt too."
He then continued," But I accepted that. You see... these other kids are braver than... most kids these days... that red head over there on the car. He's a badass."
The White Tiger looked at Anxiety who just shrugged while him and Chris hoped into the van.
Kelly slowly closed her eyes and passed out as The White Tiger looked down at Samuel and grinned.
The White Tiger waved his arms up into the air and said," You see. Being a hero isn't just about recognition. Apperently that's all you kids think about huh? This world. It's more cruel than you kids think it is. It's a shame that your parents didn't teach you."
Marks eyes wavered as he thought about the word "parents."
Tears formed in his eyes as he shifted onto his knees and slammed his fists against the ground.The White Tiger chuckled and said," You guys are dumber than you look."
Mark then sobbed while putting his head against the ground. Carl heard this and it instantly broke him away from his fear.
He stood up and walked out from behind the car while he said," Mark. Don't try and attack him again. It's not worth it."
The White Tiger looked at him in confusion and shrugged.
Carl looked at Jack, Kelly, Samuel, then Mark and looked at the ground. He then sighed and said," We've lost."
