Gifted Children

Chapter 22

They all met up at the lounge and walked out of Stark Tower.

"Damn, we all look amazing," Nick said as they walked along the sidewalk to the restaurant. 

They all joked and laughed all throughout dinner. They had a blast as they ate more than they had for a while after their little "excursion." Just as they were finishing up, Isabelle got a text from Stark.

Stark: The suits are ready. Get here as soon as possible to try them on"

'Our suits are ready. Stark wants us there as soon as possible to try them on,' she told the group so that no one else would hear them.

Nick quickly paid for the check, and the group excitedly hurried back to the tower. They went through the door and were greeted by Stark. 

"You guys ready to try on your suits?" he said as he clapped his hands.

Everyone nodded in unison. Stark led them to his office. He gave them each a different colored book bag. The twin's bags were white and grey, Colin's was black, Stella's was brown and green, Nick's was blue, Isabelle's was black and red, Jake's was purple, and Markus' was black with green and grey speckles. 

"Your suits are in those bags. You need to remember to bring those with you wherever you go, just in case something happens while you guys are out," he explained to them. Then, his phone went off. "Well," he started with his eyebrows raised, "looks like you guys will get to try your suits on right now. There's a robbery on 42nd Avenue."

"Really?" Jake asked, surprised that happened so fast.

"You betcha," he said a bit too calm.

"And we're just going? Like right now?" Isabelle said with a "what the hell is happening" kind of look.

"Yeah. What? Are all of you scared or something?" Tony told them with his arms crossed.

"No, no. It's just, we haven't really done this before," Nick explained to Stark.

"Well, now is your chance to prove that you can be a part of the team," Stark told him back with a smirk.

The group all nodded and got on their suits. 

"Woah, we actually look like superheroes," Isabelle said as she pulled on her mask and looked at the rest of the group.

"Yeah. We all look great," Colin said.

"Alright, all of you need to hurry down to 42nd Avenue," Stark told them as he urged them out of the door.

They all lifted off the ground and flew over to the bank that was on 42nd Avenue. Sure enough, they could see six robbers. All of them had guns and there we people on the ground.

'We need to make sure that none of those innocent people get hurt,' Nick told them so that the robbers wouldn't hear them.

'Ready,' Markus started to get them prepared for jumping into the building, 'Set, go!'

They jumped through the large window at the side of the bank, which immediately grabbed the robbers' attention. Nick noticed that they had Batman and Robin masks on, along with some other DC superheroes.

"Hey, come on, we all know you're not Batman. You're Superman at best," he said jokingly as he looked the robber in the eyes. He then noticed that someone had a Superman mask on. "Oops. Sorry, bud."

The robber then tried to grab at Isabelle, but she immediately burned his hand when he touched her.

"Big mistake, dude," she told him with a smirk he couldn't see.
