Neon Jon

Chapter 3: Normal

The next day I woke up after sleeping the entire day. I finally had all my strength back. I had almost forgotten what my dad had told me yesterday, almost. I sat up in bed thinking that i'd been lied to my whole life.

But.... I did have fucking super powers.

I had always wanted super powers. I have read so many x-men comics, played all of the super hero video games, and now I'm one of them.

I get up and get dressed for school. I usually walk to school but today I was gonna see if my mom would drive me so we could talk more about my family and our powers. After brushing my teeth I come down stairs for breakfast. Mom is still in the kitchen scrambling eggs, dad wasn't there he was probably at the shop already. My dad owned an auto repair shop down the street from us. It was given to him by his father when my dad was only 13. Even at 13 he still managed to turn it into a thriving business, well it was at the time.

I walk towards the dining room and see my older brother sitting there already stuffing his face like usual.

My older brother.

I had completely forgotten about him yesterday. Did he have powers too? What were they if he did?

Instead of going up to him and asking him like a normal person would, since they didn't hear me come down I decided I would test him.

I take off my shoe and sneak back around the corner into the dining room, when I have him in my sight I chuck my shoe directly at his head, in hopes that he would disintegrate it, or put up a force field or anything really.

As I threw the shoe I nudged a table which prompted him to turn around, as he did the shoe hit him directly in the face.

"Jon" he said standing up. My brother was a nice guy but he was much bigger and burlier than me. It was very intimidating. "Why did you throw your shoe at my face? I almost spilled my eggs!" That's what was most important to him at the moment, spilling his omelettes. My mom made the best omelettes.

I assumed since he's older he was already informed about our parents abilities so I just came out with it. "I wanted to see what abilities you had, do you have any?" I said

A grin appeared on his face "great question" with a snap of his fingers he disappeared It looked like the very fabric of space was disturbed where he was standing.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. "You can teleport?!" I said with stars in my eyes like I just saw one of the most amazing things in my life, which I did. "I can do much more" the grin still lingering on his face. I could tell he had always wanted to show me what he could do and now he was going to show off. He held one hand out and snapped the fingers on his other hand, a plate of eggs appeared in the hand he was holding out. I turn around and the plate he was eating at the table was gone. "Oh shit!" I said looking to see if my mom had just heard me curse.

"Watch your damn mouth!" I hear her yell from the kitchen. "Sorry ma!" I yell back.

"'Maybe later we can go out to a field and I can help you figure out how to use your abilities," my brother said rubbing my head. He walked back to his table and continued eating breakfast.

"Definitely"

After eating breakfast my mom drove me to school. I was so amazed by my brothers powers I had forgotten to ask my mom about our family. At this point I didn't even care. I was happy, for now.

When we got to school I wanted to tell my friends what had just happened to me, "don't you tell anyone what happened to you, understand?" She said as if she could read my mind. "Could she read my mind?" I turned around to look at her, she just smiled and drove away.
