Third Person View/The next day
Mark and Will walked down the halls with Mark having an angry/pained expression on his face. Not from physical pain as the gel he got from his brother and the healing powers of Viltrumites healed him pretty much in an hour.
The pain was from looking weak in front of his dad. In front of Omni-man.
"Man, you still sore from Todd's thrashing? What's up?" Will asked Mark who was still spaced out for a second before answering.
"Huh? Oh no, no I'm fine" Mark said not being able to tell Will he couldn't handle a punch from his dad as he wasn't sure how to explain that without revealing his identity as a super.
"Okay man. You sure look fine" Will said sarcastically. Suddenly another voice echoed throughout the halls.
"Hey! Mark Grayson!" it said as the two turned to see Todd standing there with his arms crossed and a smug look on his face.
"And I don't see your brother anywhere nearby to protect your sorry ass" he said cracking his knuckles while approaching the black haired boy.
Unfortunately for him, DJ rounded the corner of the hallway with his friends in tow and heard the comment.
"Then get your fucking eyes adjusted, Dipshit!" He said handing his bag to MJ before he began towards Todd. However the girls noticed that he was too calm.
Before they could voice their concerns however DJ was suddenly pushed hard into the lockers and two large boys stood in front of him.
One had short blonde hair and blue eyes and Caucasian skin. He wore a letterman jacket and blue jeans while the other had short brown hair and brown eyes and Caucasian skin as well. He wore a red plaid shirt and blue jeans and another thing about him. The top three teeth in the front of his mouth were knocked out.
"Hey Flash, Mike" DJ said groaning at the other two largest bullies in the school. He then turned to Todd.
"Couldn't handle another thrashing so you needed some bodyguards Huh?" He asked as Mark shook his head.
"Todd please, just don't-" Mark began but was cut off as Todd grabbed and slammed him into the wall by the front of his shirt.
"Don't? Don't what? Don't kick your ass again? Are you threatening me? Or do you need a replay of what happened last time, ass?" Todd asked. Meanwhile DJ could see his brother was getting angry.
"Look guys, I know you don't like me but you need to let me go" DJ said as the two held him against the wall. However before they could respond...
"Hit me" Mark said shocking Todd.
"Mark" DJ said drawn out tone.
"It's okay, DJ. Like you said I need to learn to take a punch or two. So go on, hit me as hard as you can" Mark said. DJ didn't really say that but he knew what Mark was referring to and just prayed that he would be able to keep his cool and not, literally, put Todd through the wall.
Todd quickly punch Mark in the stomach and the boy doubled over as students around him gasped and DJ got ready to go over and try and restrain Mark. As best he could.
However Mark just straightened back up and looked at Todd with a plain look.
"Again" he said. Todd quickly punched him across the face however he kept standing this time.
"Again. Harder!" he said. Todd punched him again in the chest but this time Mark didn't even flinch. All around him, kids were shocked. Mike and Flash were so shocked they weren't even holding DJ anymore.
