Chapter 3

The next day Jackieboy Man was back to his normal self. He found himself in the position of the superhero again, hands on hips as his cape and hair fluttered in the wind. A man was on top of another, hands balled into fists as they fought. Jackieboy Man raced forward with the speed he had worked so hard on, pulling the man off. He struggled, waving his arms around and managing to hit Jackieboy Man a couple of times. On the third hit, Jackieboy Man loosened his grip and allowed the man to escape. He slurred out a series of profanities directed towards the hero before aiming a punch right at Jackieboy Man's face.

It hurt but he had to ignore the pain. He had to keep his focus on his enemy. He had to keep his guard up and be ready for anything. He ducked as another punch was thrown before pushing the man against the wall. The police were right behind him so the enemy was handcuffed before he could do anymore damage.

"Thank you." The man who had been in the fight grumbled. His hair was a mess and his eye was surrounded in a bruise.

"Are you alright?" Jackieboy Man asked with a kind smile.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Probably wouldn't be if you hadn't shown up..." Jackieboy Man didn't say anything else as he held his hand out and helped the poor man up.

Jackieboy Man was just out getting some milk since the household had run out when he bumped into someone else. His and the stranger's reactions were fast as the milk fell from his hand. Both went to grab it but missed, touching hands instead. "I'm so sorry!" The stranger muttered, bending down and picking up the bottle.

Jackieboy Man just laughed to let him know he wasn't angry. "It's okay. It was partly my fault too." Jackieboy Man got one last look into the man's hazel eyes before he left. For some reason he felt like he recognised the eyes but he had no idea where from.

It was quite a rare occurrence for Marvin to join in on the missions but when he did, the only word to describe the battle was Awesome (with a capital A). His talent was far from Jackieboy Man's in a way that would have made him serious competition for him had he also chosen a career in fighting crime.

The enemy was a tall female with her hair tied in a messy plait. It had once been neat, in conjunction with a pair of animal ears, but the wind had made it a complete mess and the cat ears had fallen off at some point. Her outfit was a black suit and a mask that covered her evil eyes. They were cheetah-like, similar to her impressive reflexes and the ears on her head. It was like she could predict Jackieboy Man's every move. He had missed every single hit like some sort of amateur. Jackieboy Man was most certainly not an amateur: each of his moves were perfectly calculated and he examined his enemies as if he'd have a test on them at a later date. So why was he so predictable all of a sudden?

Luckily Marvin was by his side. Jackieboy Man had completely let his guard down as he got lost in the world of thought which left him vulnerable and open. The Cheetah, as Marvin had appropriately named her, ran forward. Before she could reach the hero, Marvin yelled out a string of words in another language. The Cheetah froze completely, one foot still in the air since she had been in the middle of a sprint. Jackieboy Man blinked, as if he had only just realised the villain was a threat.

"You could do that the whole time?!" Jackieboy Man shouted, the sweat clearly visible on his forehead.

"I didn't think it would actually work." Marvin let out a laugh and stared down at his hands, countenance full of clear disbelief.

The police showed up right on cue, grabbing onto the enemy's stiff arms. Marvin muttered the perfect reverse of his original spell and The Cheetah unfroze. She hissed at the pair of heroes before being guided away in handcuffs.
