Chapter 2: a huge chapter
MAY 21ST, 2012.
“Wake up Shelly!”
Blake is using a nickname that came from her walking on the beach and collecting seashells on the ground during her childhood years, he only brought it up once she answered a stack of questions about beaches during science class.
“There is a graduation dance tonight!” Blake continued, taking her blankets off her rocket pajamas body.
Jean bolts up from her pillow, hitting her forehead on the top bed-bunk above that belongs to her room-mate Blake Kollo.
“I better take a shower!” The woman said, bending out of the bed and is caught by Blake before she could continue.
“Shelly,” He starts, laughing at his joke. “It was a big joke to wake you up.”
Jean looks to the closest to her right, where there is light gray handle attached to the wall able to be slide away like it is part of a dark black menacing van usually at a site where young children get kidnapped.
“Is today graduation?” Jean asks, when Blake lets go of her.
“Yes, the last day of being in this small dump.” The man said, taking a step to the left from Jean’s way.

Five hours later..
The class of 2012 throw their blue graduation hats in the air, while snapshots can be heard being taken from the crowd and the small figure of Jean can be seen swarming through the crowd into the school.
Jean sat into the blue chair, slumping from her entire day of walking and standing in the busy highway of College.
Soon thereafter, Blake came into the room, his hair all messed up like he has been in a Scooby Doo movie or been struck by lightning twenty times in a single row of battered trees--not relevant, he came in having some knowledge the news was on.,
“Hey Jean.” Blake said, swinging his blue hat onto the couch.
“Hi Bob.” Jean said, being lazy as usual.
Blake laughed, while he goes to the TV and turns the volume up for them both to hear what is going on, so then he changes the channel to the news network of New Jersey.
“I heard some things up back at your home town.” He said,sitting on the couch.
----NEW JERSEY-BEACH
“This is being reported by me,” The reporter in a gray suit said, his dark medium brown hair shined in the sunlight. “Brian Skittles.”
The Cameraman who is filming is laughing, which the Reporter rolls his eyes and continues on the report that is very much interesting in the view of his boss. everyone had told this man that his reports sounded like a superhero would enter one day, unlikely or not.
“Lovey-dovey couples or groups of friends have been attacked by groups of thieves.” He said, noticing the camera man shifts the camera. He realizes he made a mistake. “I correct myself, I mean...There has been attacks to the banks and stores by a light dark gray man who calls himself...”
The man makes a unnecessary silence
“The Steel Man.”
--TO COLLEGE.
“My Parents own the electronic shop!” Jean said, popping up from her seat and began to leave as a determined worried expression is on her face.
Just then, Austin comes through the doorway wearing the blue clothing from the graduation party he had very suddenly arrived and left; He knew she may be heading to New Jersey from her expression.
As if on cue, they both stepped in her way.
“Can we...” Austin began, starting a base for Blake’s question.
“Come to New Jersey?” Blake finished, his eyes switched into the general sweetness and adorableocity(if that word existed, several girls would use it on him) to fool a parent or friend.
Jean frowned
“Get out my way.” She said, her eyes being darts to them.
“Not until you say yes.” They both say; because it so happens they do not have maps or a vehicle yet since they are two leggers for driving.
The woman relieved a sigh.
“Yes, you can come.”

MAY 22,2012.
Jean’s at the doorway of her parents home drifting a pleasant odor, she walks into the kitchen.
“Ma!” She began, shouting at a good level. “I'm home!”
“Dear,” Her mother Alice Clock started, wiping off an old china dish. “You just graduated?”
Jean smiles, she usually called her mother ‘Ma’ and her father ‘pa’ for short than the longer length terms commonly used by the people around her. “Yes, Ma.”
“Good lord, you are going rapidly!” Her mother exclaims, placing the dish on the counter and hugged her daughter as her husband came into the kitchen.
“Twenty already and you graduated from college!” The man said, hiding a present behind his back.
“Dad,You got me a graduation present?” The girl asked, her excitement rising to the boiling point.
“Yes, but you must save it ti--” He begins, but is cut off by his whiny daughter.
“Pa, that's in JULY!” She complained, knowing the date would be in her birthdate of July 4th.
Her dad winks.
“The longer, the better, right?” He repeated along said comment, then remembers missing their daughters important time. “Oh, sorry for missing the graduation, the new computers weren't updated.”
“Shelly, what’s your career choice?” Jean’s mother asked, cleaning another Chinese dish as her husband puts the secret present into a cabinet.
Jean smiled.
“A technology expert at your store.” She simply said, taking her three rolling suitcases through the hallway and to the staircase as she is followed by her shocked parents.
“You heard the news?!” Her father asked in exclamatory, somewhat shocked of what he is hearing.
“I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!” Her mother repeats, shaking her hand to the old photograph to their left. “Grandma was right about her being a worker at our store!”
“I did,” She said, going straight to her door with her hand in a fist towards her direction. “I wanna give The Steel whoever he is a piece of my fist!
Her father gasps.
“But Jean!” He said, pratically helpless.
“He's a super villain!” Her mother added, while their daughter paused at her seemingly old white door belonging to her room.
Jean turns around to her parents.
“Ma, Pa.” She begins, taking a breath. “it's about time New Jersey had a supervillain like Spider man's city. but... “
She pauses.
“The Reporter never mentioned him being a supervillain.” She finishes, a sheepish smile on her face indicated that she is still going to be working at their store.
