Whisper
Y/N's POV
Elizabeth: "Bring it."

She took off her leather gloves and got into a combat stance. She rushed at me but was instantly pushed back.

Elizabeth: "What the hell?"

She tried again but this time she flew off the ground a little bit.

Y/N: "What's the hold up, Elizabeth? Just hit me, it's not that hard."

Elizabeth: "I'm trying to, but something is preventing me from getting close."

I smirked. This is one of my favorite techniques to use against cocky people. To do it, I pull air into a pocket dimension, then shrink the pocket dimension to compress the air. The compressed air is then released with enough force to push people back. If I alter the shape of the portal, I can even make a wind blade.
Elizabeth tried to rush me one more time, but this time seemed to think she had figured it out. She moved away from the air portal and in front of another.

Y/N: "Bad move."

The portal then shot out a torrent of water, pushing Elizabeth to the ground. She stood up, soaked to the skin and pissed as hell.

Elizabeth: "Oh you bitch!"

Y/N: "Flattery will get you no where."

Elizabeth growled and charged again. This time she got hit with a fireball and was launched back into a tree. She stood up shaking.

Elizabeth: "Why are you so goddamn strong!"

Y/N: "I needed to be." I mumbled. Elizabeth was visibly confused.

Y/N: "Aaaaannnd I've said to much. It's time to end this."

I portaled above Elizabeth and tackled her to the ground. My legs were pinning her hands and my hands were around her throat.

Y/N: "I win."

Elizabeth looked at me, incredulous. I stood up and brushed myself off. I held my hand out for her to grab. She grabbed it and I pulled her up. I then turned and walked away.

Elizabeth: "Hey wait, where are you going?"

I turned around.

Y/N: "Meet me behind the school tommorow when the school day is over."

My mask disappeared, revealing my face. Elizabeth analyzed my face, then gasped in surprise.

Elizabeth: "I-It's you. The kid from the chemistry classroom."

Y/N: "My name is Y/N."

I portaled home, appearing in my garage. I look outside and see a white car. I cuss internally.

Y/N: "Oh great, B/N is back. I wonder what he wants?"

To explain, my brother normally stays at his girlfriends house, and comes home very rarely. Legally he is my parental guardian, but it's more like I'm his parental guardian. He only comes home when he needs something. I open the door to my house and sigh.

Y/N: "I'm home."

Immediately I dodge a baseball aimed at my head.

B/N: "Shit, I missed. Hey dork how's it going?"

Y/N: "My day was going fine until you showed up. What do you want?"

B/N: "What, can't a man just visit his little brother?"

Y/N: "A man can, but you aren't a man so you can't."

He laughs and stands up. He's shorter than me by maybe 2 inches but is built like a bowling ball with tree trunk legs. He puts his hand on my shoulder. He smells like vape residue and alcohol.

B/N: "So listen, I'm in a bit of a tight spot. It's my month to pay rent but I spent all my rent money. It would be great if you could help a brother out."

I sighed.

Y/N: "How much is rent this month?
You know what, it doesn't matter. Follow me."

He followed after me, his eyes shining with greed. I led him to my computer, and opened a Google Doc. I printed 10 copies of it and handed it to him. He looked at me, incredibly confused.

Y/N: "Hold on one minute, there's a bit more."

I then opened 10 pdfs and printed them all. I then handed them to him.

Y/N: "The first 10 papers you have are resumes that I typed up for you. The second 10 are job application forms. Now get out of my house."

I pushed him out the door before he could even protest. Several insults and one broken car window later, B/N left.

Y/N: "WhY caN't yoU bE SuCceSsfuL AnD dRIveN liKe yOUr BRoTher. He'S tHE PerFecT cHilD."

I sighed and sat down at the dinner table.

Y/N: "And look where all his success and drive brought him. Now I'm the only person who pays for this damn house besides my dead relatives and my brothers girlfriend. What is she even doing with him, she could do so much better?"

I sighed and walked into the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and pulled out the last of my school lunch leftovers. (At school, what I don't finish eating  I portal home.) I put it in the microwave and warm it up. After its warm, I take it with me into my room. I set it on the counter next to my computer, and open a program hidden in my "homework" file.

Y/N: "Been a while since I've opened this."

The program is a map of the city with locations labeled and key people being tracked. I call it the Relevant Individual Protection System, or the R.I.P.S.. It's what I used to use to do my vigilante work. I stopped using it after a while, and even quit being a vigilante. Now I'm just a high schooler who deals with whatever is thrown at him. I take a bite out of the school pizza next to me. It tastes like cardboard with cheese on it. Suddenly my computer beeps. I check the monitor. There's an exclamation point next to the mayors house. I know exactly who that exclamation point is.

I got up from my chair and materialized my costume. I then opened my window and jumped out. I appeared in the mayors office right next to Poli. He was holding up some sort of weapon, using it to threaten the mayor. I listened to what he was saying.

Poli-tactician: "You've caused so much economic stress in the current system that, if the trend stays growing at the current rate, there will be a total economic collapse. Now you're going to fix this, and your going to fix it as soon as possible."

The mayor looks scared. I decide to interject.

Y/N: "Give it up Poli. This is the 73rd time you've tried this. It never works."

Poli turns around to face me, surprised.

Poli-tactician: "Well...-that's...-I ....."

Y/N: "If you keep doing this, there's going to be a problem."

Poli-tactician: "There already is a problem, and if you won't let me fix it,  I'm going to have to fix you."

I launched a shadow knife at him, aiming to barely miss. It did, cutting a few locks of stray hair. He looked terrified.

Y/N: "Go home Poli."

He ran out of the office, most likely to cower in his little hideout.

Y/N: "You okay Mr Mayor?"

Mayor: "Impossible."

Y/N: "What?"

Mayor: "You're the Shadow. You saved me. But why? You've been gone for 2 years."

Y/N: "I've decided to make a come back." I said, portaling home.

The press is gonna go crazy. I probably am too.
