After dinner I decided I would become a hero to the people of our city. Before I did that, though, I would need to practice with my ability. I would need to do things that were a challenge for me. The only thing was I didn't know where to start. My question was answered when Matt called. 

"Dude there are these three or four guys. They're threatening to kill us if we call anyone. I was able to sneak this one call. They look like they could do what you can, but so far, they've only shown that they can use super strength, speed and a flame kind of power, I'm not to sure about the last guy though. Every time someone else comes in they repeat the same thing.'Every time one shows up, we kill one. You know just to make things even'. We're here at the-, hold on one of them saw me gotta go."

"Matt? Matt!?" The last thing I was able to hear was people crying in the background. It sounded like there were at least thirty people, give or take a few, but by the way he sounded i could tell this would be trouble.

There was still one problem. I didn't exactly know where he was. I had a few options: got to every major place in the city, use one of my abilities to track him, or track his cell phone using a method I Iearned from Peter. The first two took up too much of my energy. So i decided to pinpoint his location by triangulating his cell while pulling up a map on my laptop. I found out where he was... the super market out on Fifth and Mountain.

I needed a plan, one that's simple yet elaborate. I would go inside, act terrified and then see how it goes from there. 

 "Mom, I'm heading out!"

"OK, just be back before 10."

"OK mom!" Once I stepped outside I grabbed my bike, rode out one block and then teleported one street in front of the super market. I stepped in, saw the guys and said, "So how are you, Chumps?"
