Drako Tygon

Ch 2

Ch. 2

On Monday, I sent a letter about the “Dragon Man” to my school newspaper about “his” amazing feat. Later that week, I saved a girl from being mugged, stopped a drug run and stopped the theft of $1 grand. Then, one day, I saved a freshman girl. Her name is Jamie Roan. She had stepped on a slippery part of the floor, slipped, and fell through the sixth story science class window. “Aaaaaugh!!” She was seven feet from the concrete when I got there. “Thank you” she said. I flew away. Then I thought that I should present a name for my self, so I burned “Drako Tygon” on the sidewalk.

I then became my own reporter for the school. “DRAGON MAN STOPS ROBERY”, “DRACO TYGON SAVES GIRL”, FIRE MAN STOPS MUGGING”, “SUPER HERO STOPS DRUG RUN”, and “HOODED MAN SAVES BANK” are some of my headlines. With my help, I was seen as the good guy. But some people have gotten the wrong idea about how I look, so I decided to take my picture. When I got back, Jamie Roan came to my locker and gestured me closer. She whispered in my ear, “I’ll show you my powers if you show me yours”. I stood there for a minute, then figured that she recognized my face. So I pulled her into a janitor closet. I saw that she was glowing a soft red. I showed her my wings, ears, claws, tail, and fire. She showed me her wings (which looked like fairy wings) and fire. Jamie said, “I’m a government agent in a group that gives our kind a reason to have our powers. The government has been watching you very closely since you developed”.

“Developed?”

“You were one of the people whose intake of Destiny particles said that you would some day develop powers. I can sense these particles. That is why I was assigned to recruit you to be my team’s commander.”

“So that day was just a setup?”

“Yep, but if you hadn’t come, I would’ve had to expose my cover”

“Ah” said I, remembering that she had wings. Jamie said “So, come to this address by 7:00, I know you can get there in time. But first I need your biometrics. Place your hand here.” She held forward an IPad. It had a hand print on it, and I placed my hand on the hand print. Then an eye appeared on the screen, and Jamie said, "Look into it," and so I put my eye in front of it and looked into the pupil of the eye. A light flashed, and the IPad said, "INPUT NAME PLEASE." Jamie took the IPad and said, "Drako Tygon," then gave me a tube-thing. She said, "Squeeze it." I did that, then she took it back and left, saying, "Don't forget, 7:00."

I called Austen and said that I would be late. I flew to the address that Jamie had given me. I rang the doorbell. A hand sensor panel appeared out of a hatch in the door. I put my hand on it. It said in a mechanical voice “DRAKO TYGON IDENTIFIED. ACCESS IS GRANTED.” The door popped open. I saw three people with a strange heat around them. One of them was extremely hot. One was very cool. The last one was cool on the inside and warm on the outside. The hot one was Jamie. The cool one was sitting in a metal sofa. The one who was cool on the outside was crouching on the floor.

The cool one stood up suddenly, yelling, "What the hell is this?! What are you doing here?" Jamie said, "It's okay, I invited him here. He has the highest count of D particles since you. He would be very valuable to the team. You of all people should understand that."

I didn't know what to say, so I just reached out my hand, and said, "It's an honor to be in this group. I'm glad to be here." He said, "Yea, sure," and took my hand. My hand started to feel sore, and so I looked at it. To my surprise, the flesh on my hand had been melted away! I jerked my arm back, and my flesh started to grow back immediately.

Jamie said, "David, why the hell did you do that? You're becoming to dangerous. If you keep doing things like this, I'm gonna have to arrest you." David approached Jamie aggressively, and I reacted. I grabbed him by the throat, and threw him into the wall. I leapt onto him, and started to punch him in the chest, then he  faded, like a ghost, and he passed through me. He solidified behind me.
