        Sunday, in Austin’s place...

“Sooo...How many designs did you go through?” Jean asks,walking down a dark narrow hallway with Austin as there is band-aid on her forehead since the wound(nearly gone)did bleed a little off and on.

    “Around 1,223 Costume designs.” Austin says,snickering. “The first one had a cape,the one after it had a cat-like mask, the third one had a--’

           “We weren't attacked by thugs.” She said, dropping a bombshell and a ton of relief slid through her emotion. “We were attacked by one person only.”

    Austin is shocked .

“B-b-b-b-but Blake’s wounds indicated otherwise!” Austin said, his body in disbelief.

“I know, I know, I know.” Jean response, shaking her head left and right. “I wish it was thugs...The Steel Man is the attacker.”

           “What is it with weird events?” The man asks a hypothetical question. “It’s like fate got you as a favorite person to surprise.”

    Jean laughs.

    “Fate likes to pull its favorite strings.” She agrees with him, then looks up to the ceiling.“The odd thing is he called Blake, ‘old friend’ as if he knew him.”

    “Odd.” Austin wondered,his eyes directed to the two large gray square doors they stand before with a keypad to the left coincidentally where he is standing at. “Blake IS the master of secrets.”

He lowers his eyes to a small square blue screen that scans his eyes.

    “So much like Men in black.” Jean spoke, her eyes showing a dumbfounded appearance.

    The room is dark, there are blue lights peaking from the machines spreading to left and right from different directions as if it was from a movie filmed for highly advanced technology.

       “Being a game Designer has its most valuable advantages.” He said, knowing Jean is already intrigued.

    “Where's my costume?”  

    A spark went off in Austins left eye, like he had already anticipated her to ask a question like that. He points to the tall outlined cylinder figure that can be estimated to be eight feet tall than Jean.

       “Inside the container.” Austin said, a grin on his face easily foretold he has another surprise and he snaps his fingers. “The changing room is at the right, for your curiosity.”

The view switches to the container which gives a complete perspective as light shines in showing a costume specifically made for Jean and the room is no longer dark.

       “I never seen anything so awesome!” She squealed,then she kisses Austin’s cheek. “Thank you!”

The Woman runs to the container and swipes the costume out the windowless object with the most vital thing: A Mask. Austin rubs the cheek that had been kissed by Jean who goes into the changing room like a swift blurr.

“She actually kissed me,” He said,rubbing the kissed cheek. “completely unexpected, but good.”

    Five minutes later, Jean zipped out the changing room; She has black boots with light gray zippers at the side, the leg to hand costume is black and green with purple lightning designs counterparting the Spider-Man hero. On her chest, there is a metal  symbol imprinted by the medium sized initials 'Sp' underneath a very magnificent lightning bolt.

Jean wears a completely black mask topped off by a purple metal symbol on the forehead streaked with a light green lightning bolt resembling thunder.

“Test ride!”

Jug Simwell, a new thief, takes off running from a grocery store as he is holding a stolen purse from a woman who was distracted by her phone. He made the best gateway using a natural distraction.

    The woman runs out, having a despreate expression on her face.

“Stop him!” She shouted, shaking her fist. “he stole my purse!”

“Nobody can catch me!” Jug said,laughing as he ran. “Nobody!”

    Jean knocks him down at the sidewalk,wearing her superhero suit and ties him up using rope she had taken for the test ride in the suit.She leaves quickly as she had came.

       The Letter says;

    Arrest me, I stole a womans purse! c:

               From The Thief.

    A officer who found the letter, rubs his hair beneath the police cap at the strangely written letter that is very funny because of how it is written.

    Several days later...

Sheldon is at the newsstand reading the paper with a a white and black photograph of five cuffed bank robbers and their hair are messed up like somebody ran around them twenty times or more.where a man with a hot dog is also reading a Magazine about hot celebrities

“I wonder who is the new hero of New Jersey.” The man wonders out loud, having an amused look on his face.

“I bet'cha we have a hero from college!” The Hot dog man said, he usually took a hot dog with him in the summer time and he was given the nickname ‘The Hot Dog man’ since he got out from college.

    Sheldon is surprised.

    “Why? He asks, closing the newspaper.

    “Because nobody can wrangle Criminals that so funny!” The Hot dog man said,taking a bite of the Hot Dog.

“You are right about that,” Sheldon began, while the Hot Dog man notices a woman in a costume standing beside a giant board  ontop of a store building.“it even happens in movies like 'The Green Hornet'.”

“Look it's...” The Hot dog man begins, pointing his hand at her direction and his eyes struggled to see the initials ‘Sp’.“It's Speedywoman!”

    All the people stopped walking and looked up to where The Hot Dog is pointing at, including Sheldon. Speedywoman ran away after they finally noticed her. She is so fast that most people did not see her doing the acts in her costume and her name was utterly labled as ‘The Speed Demon’ for a brief period of time.

    Now, they know her name.
