Fusion

10. A Hero Returns

Hey everybody! The amazing Ben here! Just wanted to say that me and a Wattpad user named Inferno3344 are good friends in real life and our superhero universes are combined. So if you wanna see more superheroes take a little trip to his profile where he has two superhero stories in the making. You might even see some heroes from my book in his. I will be writing several books as well but I wanted to start with Fusion first. Alright, enjoy this book. Don't let me stop you!

I sit down while eating breakfast with Violet.

"So hey..." I stick some pretzels in my mouth. "I was convinced yesterday while on my walk that I am going to be a hero again."

"Oh my gosh that's wonderful!" She says with a wide smile. "I knew you'd change your mind."

"I also ran into Olivia." I grab more pretzels.

"Oh?" She says. She looks jealous and I chuckle.

"Yeah. She told me about this cool Fourth of July celebration going on tonight at Times Square. I thought you might want to come."

"Definitely." She takes a sip of orange juice.

"Okay, cool. Alright, I'm gonna do some recon. Wanna come with?"

"Nah, I'm going to try and find Chase. I think I may know where he's at."

"Okay, see you tonight," I say as I boost myself off the roof to another building. I look around the city a bit and decide to head into Brooklyn. I run along on the rooftops that look a little ghetto and then I hear a voice yell.

"Help!"

I turn and travel in the direction of the cry to look down on the alley and see a group of about six men in suits surrounding a boy. What's with the fancy getup?

They're honing in on him and I jump down from the roof and land in front of him.

"Hey, guys!" I say. "Mind if I join the party?"

"Step aside, kid." One of them says in a raspy voice. "We're only here for the boy. No one needs to be hurt."

"I think someone does." I crack my knuckles.

"Get lost punk."

"Hmmm... Let me think about that... Yeeeahh, I'd rather not." Then I punch one of them in the face and he's pushed into a dumpster and it dents.

"Oh man!!!" I yell cockily."Trust me, that will seriously hurt in the morning." Then one of them lunges at me with a knife.

"Bad idea." I grab it and melt it with fire then I gravity punch him in the stomach and he's pushed into two other men.

"We have a super on our hands!" One of them yells as he holds up a handgun and blares it everywhere.

"Ah, ah, ah, Triggerhappy!" I vault over him with a blast of energy and land behind him.

"No guns." I grab the gun out his hand and snap it in half. "Let's fight like civilized gents." I raise up my hands to suggest a fist fight. This'll be fun.

He leans in to punch, but I grab his arm and slam it into the wall of the alley and a couple bricks fall out.

"Jerks." I say as all the men run off injured. Then I use my super hearing and listen to one of them say something into a mic as he runs away.

We've found him. He's the one.

I walk over to the boy who is no older than twelve.

"You okay?"
