Superhero

Chapter 124

"What's up?" Jake asked as he and Addison went up to Giuseppe after parking in the garage.
Giuseppe just pointed at the sky, other hand holding his phone. "I saw a heron and decided to stop and take some pictures."
"Aww, can you send them to me?" Addison grinned. "I never got to film them, especially not at night."
"Sure," Giuseppe smirked, swiping through his phone. "Alright, I think I'm gonna park inside now."
Before he could even put his phone away and get into the car, a bright white light appeared on the street and Jordan's blue car appeared and fell from a short height of about a foot.
"What just happened?" Giuseppe asked in surprise.
Addison took a step towards the car. "Well, I think I have an idea."
The Superhero stepped out from behind the car and dusted his hands before the driver's side door opened, and Jordan stepped out.
"What happened this time?" Jake sighed.
"Drove into a ditch by accident," Jordan sheepishly said. "I parked near it, wanted to hit reverse, but put it in the wrong gear instead." He turned to Superhero. "Thanks, man. You came at the right time."
Superhero nodded and looked at the rest of them. He pointed at Jordan and motioned for him to move the car, the gave them finger guns and escaped into his bright light.
"Whoa, you don't see that every day," Giuseppe finally said. "I mean, it happens every day, you just don't see it every day."
Addison sighed and nodded. "Yeah."
"I think you should park in the garage this time," Giuseppe said. "Easier for us."
Jordan shook his head. "No, it's alright. I'll move my car, you park in the garage. It's going to rain and my car needs a wash."
Addison wondered why he couldn't just spare twenty bucks to get his car washed at the petrol station not far off. They even threw in a foam wash for that price.
But now there was a little something else on her mind.
Giuseppe had been standing there when the Superhero appeared. That meant that they were most definitely two different people and that meant that Giuseppe wasn't the Superhero in disguise.
So how on earth did he make all of those exists so fast in campus?

Addison told her family about her new discovery while writing her findings in her case file.
"I still can't believe that you have a case file," Alison said. "And you have one for each person, right?"
"Technically," Addison said, taking out a new folder from the pack of ten that she got way earlier. "Also, now I'm making a new one for Fleurette."
"You have a file for each tenant?" Madison asked, surprised. "Even for your landlady?"
"Nah, I combined hers with Jake since she doesn't have much to be said besides being an awesome person and cook. But Jordan... we knew way earlier that he's not the Superhero, but his file is still getting thicker since he keeps doing sus things."
"And what will you do with all of those folders after you graduate?" Alison piped up.
Addison shrugged. "Bring it back with me and keep them as souvenirs of my time here. Why not, right?"
Madison snorted. "You make case files for everyone, Addie."
"And that is true," Addison smirked.
"And you even made case files for Ed and me," Madison sighed.
"That is also true," Addison's smirk did not falter even the slightest.
Alison burst into laughter. "Oh, Addison. Seriously."
Addison chuckled. "I also made a case file for that idiot. And you liked it when I did that."
Madison nodded. "True, true."
"Addison, are you eating anything?" Alison piped up suddenly.
Addison lowered the screen of her tablet slightly to show a half-eaten container of lasagne from Posiden Coffee. "By the way, I got this lasagne from this cafe called Posiden Coffee. They have one in Jeff's campus, apparently, so I decided to try it. Also, it's pretty good."
"Nice," Madison leaned closer to the screen to see. "We also got Posiden Coffee the other day for dinner. Was quite good."
"Your Dad just brought it in the other day and it was actually really good," Alison added. "Also, I think we should go now. You eat well now, Addison."
Addison smiled and waved at them. "Bye, guys!"
"See you tomorrow, Addie!" Madison excitedly waved.
They hung up and Addison sighed at the silence that enveloped her room. She ended up playing some music on her tablet, then finished eating her lasagne before working on creating a new case file for Fleurette.
But what would she write in it? It had only been two days since Fleurette moved in, and there wasn't anything of note so far.
A loud thump suddenly jostled Addison, making her spring to her feet and rush towards the door. Addison opened it slightly and took a peek out, only to see Fleurette coming up the steps, her sneaker-clad feet louder than it should be against the steps.
And that's when Addison realised something.
Fleurette was wearing a hoodie. A black hoodie, identical to the Superhero's.
Addison's eyes widened in realisation as she quietly stepped out of her room. "Hey, Fleurette," she greeted pleasantly.
Fleurette just grunted and walked past her to enter her room. She spotted a white mask-like object protruding from the tote bag in her hand and that almost made her gasp. Fleurette looked really tired too, and probably not just from a day at work.
She quickly retreated into her room and ran towards her desk, pulling the case file towards her with shaking hands, then pulled out some foolscap paper before jotting down whatever she had just found. What if the Superhero wasn't a man at all? What if it had been a woman the whole time but everyone were thrown off by her size and physique just because she wasn't very curvy?
That certainly opened new possibilities for who the Superhero might be.
Addison smirked to herself and wrote everything down on the paper before gleefully sliding it into the case file. Now, she played some spy music, or music she thought fit the setting of espionage, namely Double Life from Despicable Me 4, and was even dancing as she wrote. For some reason, Addison felt like pulling off a heist the next morning. But a heist for what? She had no clue. Just felt like pulling one off for fun.
Eventually, she realised that she had to go for Galante Class and quickly collected her things before making her way downstairs. She also realised that Fleurette was actually quite early today, unlike the story of her returning only past midnight yesterday.
Addison made it a point to add that to her case file as well.
