things just got weirder

About two weeks have passed since Jane started living with me, at first it was bearable but as time flies by Jane just became more and more comfortable, I literally cannot sleep due to her always watching a movie on my tv in my house, you know how annoying that is? Very annoying.

Of course I could just kick her out, but that's gonna hurt her and potentially lead her to actually becoming a real villain, which would mean there is a high chance she could die... I'm not kidding, vigilantes and superheroes all act with their own sense of justice, but no one has mentioned the dark side of heroism...

Think of an underground meeting full of villains and their lackeys, a hero infiltrates the meeting, potentially putting themselves in danger, all superheroes and villains have something in common hell even us normal people, we have a flight or fight response, due to that system in our brain we can do amazing things, fight tirelessly, dodge a fast flying projectile, and even lift cars, as you know superheroes are vastly stronger than us normal humans, with the flight or fight response being more inclined to fighting same with the villains, which could lead to a potentially deadly fight.

If one loses, the other would be filled with adrenaline, effectively boosting their physical abilities, if we apply it to supervillains and superheroes, they would double their power due to it, but it is also due to adrenaline, we can only think of one thing or open goal when someone is in adrenaline mode, which in turn leads to our survival instincts, in short... If you can't control your flight or fight response, you can't control your adrenaline, you can't control your survival instincts, and you can't control your mind.

**BANG**

just when I stopped explaining things to myself, I heard a loud noise from the loving room, a gunshot.

I hurriedly checked the living room with a baseball bat in hand, I cautiously got down from my room, and saw the living room thrashed, I'm not joking when I say thrashed it is so thrashed I could see some of the furniture broken to unrecognizable pieces, I checked around to see if Jane is still here, did she got kidnapped???

Before I could panic any further, I found a letter stuck inside the smashed tv, that tv cost 10k you know! I took the letter and read it.

"We got someone in your house, and we demand money, come to this location and give us the money, call the cops then she will die you understand?"

I finished reading the letter and I crumpled it, lowly bastards threatening me... Just wait.... Jane... Hang in there a bit more, I unlocked the basement of my house, I peaked at highschool, with all my different antics and shenanigans, I was called the star striker of my football team in highschool before... Here I am.. going back to the past... I entered the basement and stopped at a soccer ball.. this one was different... without further ado, I took the soccer ball and got out of the basement ah... almost forgot about something... I entered the basement again and took a neon designed hoodie there and I wore it, and got out of the basement again.

In grade school my teachers gave us an assignment, create your own superhero suit... And here we are... Cosplaying as a hero... I named my childish work, and if I become a hero, I promise myself, my hero name will be...

EGO

Time for the kidnappers to pay...
It's their funeral...

I quickly ran, the soccer ball in my bag and the neon hoodie was equipped with a matching face mask, time to try and be extraordinary...

*At the meeting spot*

"Hey boss are you sure we robbed the right guy?" One of the lackeys said as he inspects Jane, the head of the lackeys simply nodded

"No doubt, we kidnapped someone in a modest home, so I'm sure of it" the head of the lackeys said.

"Besides, who would care if a normal girl like her just dies!" The head of the lackeys laughed maniacally, before the other lackeys could respond.

They heard two bodies falling on the floor, alerted they readied their weapons, they didn't expect to see a soccer ball rolling at their feet, just before they could pick up the ball, one of the lackeys fell on the floor again, quite nervous.

Everyone huddled in one big group, they saw a shadow past by, a few more minutes they were now circling and guarding each other while looking around, the soccer ball mysteriously rolled backwards, what is this a horror movie?

*Tap* *Thud* *thump*

They heard the ball being played with.

Before they could shout 'who's there!' one of the lackeys got hit

*Whack* *thud*

Another thug falls to the ground, they were being toyed with by this mysterious person, but whoever it was, they are damn good at hitting their targets, it was this moment that they knew, they fucked up.

I emerged from the shadows with my neon hoodie and the soccer ball in hand, the remaining lackeys tried attacking me but it was no use, I dodged all the attacks, just like I'm defending the soccer ball from the enemy team, in the end I took them out one by one, I placed the soccer ball at my feet, and I kicked hard hitting one of the lackeys in face, oh but I was not done.

The ball ricocheted to another lackey, two down, I caught the ball and dodged a strike from a lackey, kicking the ball to the lackey that attacked me, three down.

I was left with two people still conscious, time to end this, the what looks like the right hand of the head lackey tried attacking me with a lunging attack, but I slipped away and kicked the soccer ball to a wall and ricocheting at the back of the head of the right hand lackey.

My senses alerted me that the head lackey was planning to throw something at me, I dodged the throw, and looked at the head lackey, once he saw my tired eyes, he instantly frozen on the spot, my tired eyes look threatening, with that time I retrieved my soccer ball and prepared to kick it one last time to knock out this shitty head lackey.

With one powerful kick, the soccer ball flew and hit the head lackey hard enough he got pushed by a couple of meters before being knocked out, with that done, I freed Jane from her tied up state, looks like she is still asleep, I carried her home at my back, of course I made sure to collect my soccer ball and call the cops so that the lackeys can be arrested, I also left a letter there.

"you're welcome. from: EGO"

That's the context of the letter, once I have arrived home, I quickly put Jane back on the couch... So she is a heavy sleeper. I made sure everything was locked this time, with that this day comes to an end.. and my pretend hero act is gone... Time to go and wake up for my 9 to 5 job tomorrow

I felt my eyelids become heavy, with that I fell asleep...
