As the town recovered from the chaos, Tidebreaker had absorbed all the water, leaving the city and town dry. Firefighters and police arrived swiftly, ensuring there were no injuries and evacuating the area to save more lives. The heroes were praised by the people, who wrapped themselves in towels, still damp from the incident.

Tidebreaker, a proud member of the Magnificent 7, stood tall while Seismic Siren, representing the Justice Alliance, surveyed the scene. Among the crowd, Marcus stood in awe of the heroes, his eyes wide with admiration.

Suddenly, Marcus's dad, the only one with a grudge, approached Tidebreaker. "You stopped this attack, but my car was destroyed," he complained.

Tidebreaker reached into his pouch and handed him some Atlantic coins. "I'm pretty sure these are worth a lot," he said, trying to make amends.

Marcus's dad looked at the coins, puzzled. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

Ignoring his father's complaints, Marcus stepped forward, his voice trembling with excitement. "Can I have your autograph, Tidebreaker?"

Marcus: "Hey, Malik! You won't believe what happened today in town!"

Malik: "What? Did something crazy happen?"

Marcus: "Yeah, the town got attacked by these sea creatures! It was insane! They were coming out of the water and causing all sorts of chaos."

Malik: "Oh yeah, I saw that on the news. Looked wild!"

Marcus: "Well, I didn't have to do much because Tidebreaker and Seismic Siren showed up! They totally saved the day. They were fighting off the creatures and protecting everyone."

Malik: "That sounds epic! Did you get to see them up close?"

Marcus: "Even better! After they defeated the sea creatures, I got their autographs! Tidebreaker and Seismic Siren both signed my shirt. It was the best day ever!"

Weeks later, Marcus was testing his powers against a stump he couldn't lift. He struggled for hours. "Come on, just move already!" he muttered in frustration. Suddenly, in a fit of rage, he picked it up without even realizing it. "Whoa, how did I do that?" he wondered aloud as he started floating but fell after a few seconds. "This is insane," he thought, still trying to wrap his head around his new abilities.

Despite his powers, Marcus stayed involved in school activities like basketball, football, and track. One day, he ran through the neighborhood super fast, leaving a yellow light trail behind him. "This feels amazing!" he shouted, exhilarated by his speed. But then he stopped abruptly, slipping and landing in a fence. "Ouch, I need to work on my stops," he laughed to himself.

Each morning or after school, he used to outrun the chained dog until he got his powers. "Not today, buddy," he'd say with a grin as he sped past the dog effortlessly. Track was his favorite, and he planned to strive for excellence in it. "I'm gonna be the fastest out there," he promised himself, determined to make the most of his abilities.

Marcus's school life as a 10-11-year-old is pretty interesting. He enjoys science, social studies, and history, especially when it comes to space, the universe, and the solar system. He's always eager to learn more about how things work and the history behind them. In class, he's the kid who asks a lot of questions and is always curious about new topics.

His grades reflect his interests. He's doing really well in science and social studies, often getting A's and B's. History is another strong subject for him because he loves learning about the past and how it shapes the present. His fascination with space means he's always reading up on the latest discoveries and can often be found in the library checking out books on astronomy.
