chapter 3: macho men (Marco pt. 1)

(Marco's pov)

It's weird how something so strange, something so new, can come so easily. this gift could be viewed as a curse by some. but it's always that right? when people look a gift horse in the mouth.so my story time right?

I was with my dad when it all went down. i love the man. he was/ is my idol. you know when you wanna. be like someone so bad that you model yourself after them. see my old man is the dad that everyone wants. he's kinda a super hero. he's a magician but he uses the magic to fight crime and what not. the cops let him do this. but anyways lets get to it.

It was just a normal day with my dad. he helped some old lady who was gonna get mugged (which I thought was kinda cliche) and he helped a dude of a building. he's awesome.

"hey dad, whats up?" i asked.

"nothing much, just have to do this whole lot of paper work." he replied

"you got time for a bite to eat im starving." i told him.

"yea i think i can just give me a second..." he said. he got up and started searching through his office. it looked like he was looking for something. for what i didn't know. wait scratch that i did know. his keys.

"uh dad you looking for something?" i asked taunting him. i knew he lost thing alot thats why he had to buy a new set of cards every so often.

"whaaaat. noooo. pssshhhhh. i got everything under- yea no i lost my keys." he said. i didn't think that he would admit to losing them so easily but he did. weird.

"you left them on the key hanger dad." i replied.

"ok i got everything lets go."

we went out to eat at a wendy's. i got a baconator (BACON!!!) and he got a salad (ew). he kept looking at his phone still doing work.

"hey dad," i started "do you think that i could do what you do?"

"i don't see why not." he said. " but you're gonna have to put yourself at a level of authority. never forget that "
