(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

Only two days later Hidden Death is on the front of The Daily Walk, the most famous newspaper in this city. I wasn't aware of this, but Chad had picked up a newspaper for the first time in his life, and decided to be as loud as possible as he came into my bedroom. 

"Wake up!" He shouts, his mouth right next to my ear. "Wake the fuck up, now!" He continues, and I open my eyes slowly. Chad's nose is pressing against mine, his eyes wide and full of excitement. "Look!" He takes a step back and throws the newspaper on my lap. 

I stare at it weirdly, before rubbing my eyes and jawning. I grab the paper and look at the front before widening my eyes. There is a sketch of me, in my suit, with the sentence 'The Superhero We Have Waited For?' above it. 

"If this is one of your annoying jokes again then-" I start, but Chad quickly shakes his head. 

"I wasn't involved in any of this. There's even an interview with the boy you saved. I think he was so grateful that he told everyone about you." Chad tells me. 

"Too bad Hidden Death is not going to make an appearance in a few days though..." I sigh. I discovered I had hugh bruises on my stomach, and my nose still really hurt. Chad said that it wasn't broken, but that doesn't mean it can't hurt anymore. 

Chad laughs softly. "I'll make you some soup or something, might make you feel better." I nod quickly, really in the mood for some hot soup, and Chad leaves me with the newspaper. 


Cry's P.O.V.

Coming out of bed was really hard this morning. Waking up isn't my strongest point and I am sure it never will be.  Felix had his on and off days with waking up, and honestly, I am kind of jealous of him. 

After stretching and jawning an awful lot, I get out of bed. To my surprise, Felix is already sitting on the couch, his tongue slightly out of his mouth as his fingers move super fast over his controller. 

I sit down next to him and see that he is playing Bloodborne. "How is it going?"  I ask, as he start to fight a boss.

"Zero deaths!" He screams, and I immediately know that he is lying. No way that Felix didn't die a single time while he has probably been playing the entire night. I stand up to get the newspaper when I hear him get slashed by the monster. 

"One death." I shout as I open the front door. 

"Didn't count!" He screams back, and I can only chuckle. I walk outside, and take a look in the mail box. The only thing in there is the newspaper and I take it inside with me.

Felix is still playing while my eyes scan the front page of the paper, it seems to be about some sort of superhero. Here I was, not thinking a new Marvel movie would get the front page. 

Only when I've read through it, I realise it's not a movie scenario, this is the story of a real person fighting crime in a suit, their head covered. This person took it upon herself to help the people, and immediately I feel quilty. 

She's out there, saving lives, and I'm sitting here only using my powers when I need to refill the coffee machine, and am too lazy to walk to the sink to get the water. 

It says that a young man got saved from rape by this girl, and she was seen floating, dissapearing completely and it states that she is more flexible than a human being could ever be. 

Now, I have a great knowledge of superhero movies and comics, and for a superhero to succeed they need an attacking power, this girl seemed to have none. Just stealth and a run away power. 

I try to ignore Felix's weird noises as he tries not to die, and realise that I do have attacking powers, but lack the stealthy powers. 

Together this Hidden Death and I could be the perfect team! Me for attacking, and her for distracting. I could try to contact her, but not before I also had a suit and mask of my own. 

No way I am just going to throw my own secret identity out there when she can keep hiding hers from me. 

I sigh, knowing that I won't get an awesome montage, and actually have to go through this period of suit making, alter ego thinking time. On the other side, Hidden also did this. 

If she can do it, so can I! I just need to save up some money to but the stuff I need, and an awesome superhero name!

"Yo, Ryan." Felix calls, and I get out of my haze. "Wow, you were off the world for a moment, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I say, while pushing the newspaper his way. "I just read something awesome in the paper. I bet you're going to find it awesome as well!"
