Invisible hero

Chapter 5

I finally woke up in my bed. ugh, head ache

"Hello, sleepy head.", my dad said playfully.

"How long have I been out", I was really tired.

"Just a couple of hours", my dad said cooly. "But hey you need to get up anyways, we need to start training"

I sighed loudly in frustration and fell back on the bed.

...

"Ok, so how do I do that?", I scoffed after watching my dad do a high kick.

We were in the garage. I had on my black under armor pants and gray sports bra, and gloves with the fingers cut off, that my dad gave me. I had my hair up in a high pony tail and my tennis shoes on. He, on the other hand, had on a gray under armor shirt and black under armor pants (yeah, lots of under armor). He had cleared the floor of the garage and taped a blue fighting mat to the ground. He too had the same gloves.

"Don't doubt yourself. You can do it. You'll be surprised by the results.", he reassured me.

"Ok", I mumbled. I thought of how he did the kick, and got in the position to try it. I felt a rush of energy flow through me. I lifted my foot off the ground and kicked the air. When my foot came back to the ground, I faced my dad in shock. He smirked.

"Uh, dad? What exactly is your superpower?", I asked.

"Well, do you remember those shows where there are those hero's who don't have super powers, but do know how to fight really good. For example, that show 'Teen Titans'. The way Robin could fight is the way I can fight. And you can fight like that too. You just don't know it because you never got into a physical fight.", he explained. woah

I never did do any actual "fighting" in both incidents with Rega and Lo

He walked over to a cupboard that they have always kept locked. He took out a key and opened the door. My eyes widened in amazement as I saw any weapon I could ever imagine in the cupboard. He took out two staffs, closed and locked the cupboard again, tuned around, and tossed one to me. I caught it and gave him a questioning look.

He chuckled", we're going to fight."

*what!*

"What! Wai-", I spoke my mind, but was cut off by him lunging at me.

I felt that same rush of energy, and I lifted my staff up to protect myself. His came in contact with mine with a loud 'snap'. I opened my eyes, and breath a sigh of Relief to see that I was unharmed. But, my relief was interrupted by my dad running at me with his staff. When he got close enough, he lunged at me again. I blocked it again, but he used that as a distraction. In one swift movement, swiped his staff below my feet, bringing me to the ground.

ouch! Ok, if he wants to fight, then so be it!

While on the ground, I leaned back, putting all my weight on my hands, and pushing off. I went up in the air, and landed on my feet in style. I got in a battle stance and so did he.

He made the first move by charging at me. Again, I felt a rush of energy, and butterfly's in my stomach. He tried to hit me with his staff, I moved out of the way. I then took that to my advantage, and swiped his feet. He jumped up, and started twirling his staff. He tried to knock mine out of my hand, but I moved my hand just in time. I brought the end of my staff to the ground, by his side, and swung myself around the staff and swiped his legs, again. When he fell on the ground, I pinned him down with my staff at his throat. He smiled with pride.

"I'm so proud of you.", my dad said. We got up and now it was my moms turn. We were practicing on how to use my power. great
