"You have improved over the past few days. Now it's time to put it to the test. You're going to fight me. For five minutes." I said stepping into the makeshift ring.

Kenny's mouth dropped. "What? You're so much stronger than me."

"If you get through this I will let you be my sidekick." I said stretching my arms a bit.

"Partner." Kenny corrected me.

I rolled my eyes. "Sidekick."

"Fine, let's do this." Kenny said putting his hands up in front of his face.

"Go Kenny!" Rose shouted, jumping up from one of the couches.

"Thanks-" Kenny was cut off, because of my fist.

"Remember, always stay foc-" He returned the punch. I grabbed my jaw. That was pretty good. "Nice job. But you still have a good amount of time until you are finished." I took another swing at him. He dodged the blow. I kept trying to hit him, but he always ducked. "Hey, ballet man, why don't you try to hit me for once, instead of ducking."

"Insults don't work on me." Kenny said smiling.

"Tell him his hair looks stupid." Rory shouted, watching the fight.

So I did. "Your hair is stupid." I said.

"No it isn't." Kenny fired back, looking angry.

"It's because of the bad haircut. It's just is horrible." Rory said, smirking.

"What she said." I smirked as well.

"You know the barber did a horrible job." Kenny said "That was a low blow."

"When you are fighting bad guys they aren't going to go easy on you." I counted, hitting him in the stomach.

Kenny stumbled back, regaining his balance. Once he stood up I made my move. I would go in and knock him to the ground. It was as simple as that. I lunged towards him to make my move. But I was greeted with a foot to the face. I stumbled backwards in awe. Kenny kicked me in the face. How the hell did he get his foot that high?

Kenny was also shocked. "How the hell did I do that?" He said looking down at the foot that hit me.

"Can you do that with your other foot, peasant?" Jeb said peering over the couch.

"Let's see." I lunged again and I was hit with his foot in my face.

"That's amazing." Kenny said looking at his feet.

"How are you so flexible?" Rory said walking over to the makeshift ring.

"I have no idea I could do that." Kenny said, still in awe.

"Well, from what I saw, you can run fast, you are fast for dodges, you can get a few punches in." I said, sitting on the couch to make my head stop spinning.

"Don't forget the kicking thing." Kenny said sitting down next to me.

"I was just going to say that." I said holding my head. "As I was saying, you have the ability to survive in a fight. Even when the opponent is bigger than you. You could last in a fight."

"So, am I your partner?" Kenny asked, trying to be sly about it.

I give a small laugh. "Depends on how long you lasted." I said smirking at his distressed look on his face. "So Rory, how long did he last?"

Rory looked at her watch. "Well, according to my watch you guys started about 7 minutes ago. So that is more than 5 minutes."

Kenny jumped up and down. "I'm gonna be a superhero."

I stood up and smacked him across the face. "Rule number one, don't reveal your secret identity. You don't know who could be listening." I said looking the windows and the door.

Kenny covered his mouth. "Sorry." He whispered.

"Now we need to think of a name for you." I said sitting down on the couch again.

"I was thinking Mr. Fantastic." Kenny said standing up with his hands on his waste.

"That one is taken." I said.

"How about Storm?" He said.

"That's taken, and it is a girls name." I said holding in a laugh.

"What about Mystique." He said, putting on a mysterious face.

He must not have read comics or know anything about superheroes. "Also a taken girl's name." I snorted.

"Batman?" He shrugged.

"You've be naming off names from comics this whole time." I said laughing at his lack of original names.

"I don't know any names for me to use." Kenny said, lying on the floor.

"How about Vision Kick." Rory said sitting down next to me. "I mean he managed to kick you in the face twice."

"That's a good name." Kenny said sitting up. "Vision Kick. It has a nice ring to it."

The Guardian and Vision Kick, the cities protectors. I looked at Kenny sitting on the floor. "Now all you need it a suit."
