Harrisboy

Chapter Nine

After Huey and his Grandma Gail went to Curtis's funeral, Huey just went to his room upstairs, isolating himself. He felt like he should feel good for killing that burglar but he didn't. The hole that Grandpa Curtis left was still there.

Grandma Gail came in to try to check on him. "Huey, are you okay?" Grandma Gail asked in a comforting mood. He sighed softly. "I miss him a lot today...." Huey said. "It's all my fault....he tried to give me advice and I just broke it in his face."

"Grandson, don't blame yourself." Grandma Gail reassured. "Maybe God is just telling you a sign......a sign that you haven't seen yet."

Huey looked at the H on his hoodie and smiled softly. "A sign...." Huey thought.

Later, Huey was in his room, ordering a blue and yellow suit on eBay. He researched bulletproof fibers on Google.

He tested his powers in the backyard, trying to fire his energy beams in the woods. He stained as he waved his arms around, accidentally firing his energy at a tall tree. He caught the tree as it was about to fall on him.

He then tried to control his energy by holding his breath. His arms started to light up as he spun around, slicing down all the trees around him. Huey was in total awe as his cheers echoed through the neighborhood.

"I have energy beams! I'm a superhero!" He yelled. He then remembered what his grandpa told him.

"If doing something good is within your power, you should do it." His grandpa's words echoed through his head.

"I will, Grandpa. I will."

4 MONTHS LATER...

Huey went to 7-11, where he was friends with the employees who worked there.

Mr. Agarwal and his daughter Amara greeted him as he made his way in.

"Huey my friend! How are you!" Mr Agarwal Said as Huey smiled.

"I'm doing well, Mr Agarwal." Huey Replied as he strolled through the aisle of snacks. He got his usual food. Doritos, Dr. Pepper, Pringles and a box of White Castle Burgers.

He always heard Bollywood music playing throughout the store. It was a small mini mart for a 7-11 as the drinks were only in the back.

But his mind sensed danger coming from the door. Two guys with guns in their jackets. "How can I help you fine young men?" Mr Agarwal Said.

"Alright, let's play this straight. Put all the money in the bag." He pulled out a gun as he laid a plastic bag on the table.

Huey hid in the back room as he changed into his Harrisboy suit.

"Alright then, how much money you want?" Mr Agarwal Asked sarcastically.

"$50." The robber asked.

"Come on, Man! Think bigger! You want be old country rich or Tony Stark rich?" Mr Agarwal chuckled as he pressed the silent alarm under the table.

"Man, gimme this goddamn register!" The robbers snatched the cash register off the the counter.

"Please, let's have some respect for the most greatest gas station in America!"

The two robbers looked behind him to see Harrisboy standing heroically.

"Who the hell is this fake ass power ranger?" One of the robbers laughed.

"You won't be laughing when I serve you some justice, evil doer!" Harrisboy Said.

"Man, shoot this fool." They shot at him as Harrisboy flinched at the bullets hitting his chest. He looked down and laughed loudly as he saw that the bullets bounced off of him.

"Oh my God! I have bullet immunity!" Harrisboy cheered as one of the robbers went to hit him with a crowbar. It bent as it hit his head. It didn't hurt him but it tore his mask a little.

Harrisboy used his super strength to throw both of the robbers outside, making them fall onto the hood of the police car.

Mr Agarwal looked in awe as he looked at the young hero. "You....saved our lives."

"Well, I'm a hero. It's what I do." Harrisboy Said.

He flew away as he waved at the police officers outside.
