It's now 2:20 PM, Mark is halfway back home from school. He's walking to the bus stop, the same bus stop that the incident happened. He makes it to the bus stop and the bus came after 3 minutes. He got on the bus and sat on the right side of it. After some time, the bus made it to his stop and so he got off. Mark walked to gas station nearby his home and looked around for snacks for when he plays his Xbox at home. He walks to the cashier to pay for his snacks and then walks out. When Mark walked out of the gas station, he hears a woman struggling in the distance.

"I cant, my dad only told me to use this for my own protection." Mark said to himself

"I'm sure your dad would want you to protect others who cant protect themselves." Alexandria said.

"You're right." Mark replied

Mark runs into the alleyway and quickly puts on the Suit. Mark leaves his backpack in the alleyway and runs over to the struggling woman. Mark see's that the Woman is trying to keep her purse while the man is trying to take it from her.

"Hey you! Let her purse go." Mark demanded.

The man looks up at Mark and is in shock. The man takes the purse and runs away, Mark follows behind him and chases him.

"Remember you can fly." Alexandria said.

"Oh, right." Mark said.

Mark flew at the man with the purse and picked him up by his hoodie. Mark took the purse out of his hands and dropped him on the ground. He went back to the lady and gave her the purse back.

"Thank you so much." The lady said.

"You're welcome." Mark said.

Mark went back to the criminal and took him to the police department nearby. Mark left him at the front door of the department and left a note on him that read "Tried to steal a helpless lady's purse, Luckily I was there to help". Mark flew back to his house and walked to the front door and knocked. James opened the door for him and let him in.

"What took you so long to come back?" James asked.

"..The bus took a long time to come." Mark replied.

"Alright, just as long as you're okay." James said.

Mark walked into his room and placed the suit disk on the dresser near his bed. Mark laid down in his bed and chilled.

"You did good, Mark." Alexandria said.

"So I just saved a lady from getting her purse snatched and from getting hurt, and took the criminal to the police department. You know what other kind of person would do that?" Mark asked.

"What? are you gonna say My mom? Alexandria asked.

"No, I was gonna say a hero does. And so if a hero does that, maybe I could be a hero, A Super-hero " Mark said.

"Do you think you're ready to be a hero?" Alexandria asked.

"Well, I think so." Mark replied.

"Being a hero is more that just giving purses back to ladies or saving cats from trees." Alexandria said.

"I know that, but when I was younger, there used to be a time where I wouldn't be able to defend myself. But now that I know I have the opportunity to help those who cant defend themselves, there is no way I'll just let them get hurt." Mark said.

"That's great Mark. But if you're gonna be a Hero then you're gonna need a super-hero name." Alexandria suggested.

"I don't know what my name would be, maybe I can figure it out later." Mark said.
