The Thundermans (Male Spider-Man Reader)

Up, Up, and Vacay!

At home, Hank is playing what he calls Stumbly Stacks.

Hank: The key to stumbly stacks is concentration. Now, everybody quiet... While I-

Hank begins to pull out a large piece as Y/N, Phoebe, and Max enter.

Phoebe: Mom! Dad!

Hank screams as the stack crashes.

Billy: Shh! We're playing stumbly stacks.

Y/N: So, you know how you're always saying you've never had a real vacation?

Max: And you never got any time off back in Metroburg 'cause of the whole superhero thing?

Phoebe: And you could never really afford it because of the whole "dad's way too cheap" thing?

Hank: It's true. I made this game from spare ceiling beams I found.

Max: But since you're retired now, maybe it's time we all went on a vacation.

Barb: It would be nice to get away together as a family, have some fun, make some lasting memories.

Hank: I don't know. "lasting memories" sounds expensive.

Max: What if I told you there's a way we can do it for free?

Billy: We're gonna fly on a giant bird?

Y/N: No, we can win a vacation.

Nora: To a giant bird sanctuary?

Max: There's no giant bird.

Phoebe: It's a school fundraiser. Families compete against each other in a bunch of different challenges. It's the family faux-lympics.

Y/N: And whoever wins gets a dream vacation anywhere in the world. Here. Check it out.

Y/N gives Barb the pamphlet.

Barb: Well, that family does look happy.

Max: And just think, mom, that could be our family vacation picture.

Hank: Hey, how come that guy gets to wear socks with sandals?

Barb: Because that guy's three years old.

Max: Look. Winning will be easy for a team of superheroes.

Y/N: We're not gonna cheat and use our superpowers, Max.

Max: Totally agree... Unless we're losing.

Barb: What do you say, Hank?

Phoebe: Come on, Dad, it'll be so much fun. We never go anywhere.

They clamor as Hank rises.

Hank: I say... Bring it in, team.

Phoebe: Whoo-hoo!

All: Go, Thundermans!

Suddenly part of the roof collapses and a chest falls to the ground.

Barb: Spare ceiling beams?

Hank picks up the beams.

Hank: I'll go put these back.

Soon after, the family is training as they come back inside.

Barb: Good run, everybody!

Billy comes in with a chain and ball.
