Chapter 7 - Futures

He opens the door revealing his beaten body to her.

"Oh my god what happened!?" She asked.

"I uh got into a fight..." He said.

"Lay down now!" She exclaimed.

"Yes ma'am." He said as he laid down.

She began applying rubbing alcohol to his wounds and dressing them in bandages when she notices a fist shaped indent in his rib.

"What were you fighting?" She asked.

"A rhino haha- ow." He said as she was patching his rib.

"Well be more careful... you're my only friend..." She said.

"I will be as careful as humanly possible." He said.

She finished patching up the last of his wounds and put the supplies away.

"That should be all of it, next time you get hurt call me, I'll fix you every time." She said as she began to leave.

"Also, I'm happy to see you liked my gift." She said.

Sokudo looked down and saw the bracelet on his wrist.

"Yes and you're wearing the necklace i made you." He said.

"Of course... it's pretty." She said.

"Thank you." He said as she left.

He walked over to his desk opening a tab with places to buy. He scrolls for a while beforr stumbling upon a black skyscraper. He clicks on the page and begins scanning the specifics of the place.

(Hmm maybe, it's probably best to continue searching)

He was about to continue his search when he's interrupted by loud knocking at his door. He grabbed his bag slinging it onto his shoulder as he crept up to the peep hole. He looked into the peep hole and found two cops waiting on the other side.

(Shit!)

He opened the door to greet the police.

"What's up?" He asked.

"We're here to ask students some questions." The female cop said.

"Ah alright, want some coffee?" He asked.

"No, we won't bother you for long." She said.

"Okay." He said as he sat down his bag.

"First question, did you see anything that might be of importance during the attack?" She asked.

"No i was in gym with my classmates and experienced the same things they did." He explained.

"Alright, did you hear anything about the attack prior to it's happening?" She asked.

"Nope, just as shocked as everyone else." He answered.

"Mhm and final question, did any power's or metagene awaken during after or prior to the attack?" She asked again.

"No ma'am still just a regular human with a powerful brain." He said.

"Alright thanks for your time." She said before leaving.

Sokudo closed the door and sat down on the couch.

(Ugh cops are so annoying)

He picks up the remote turning on the tv, he channel surfs until he finds the news station.

"Today our precious children were saved once again by the protector of central city and fastest man alive, the flash!" The news anchor said as she handed over the mic to the flash.

(Well really i saved them)

"Everything may have been under control today but i have reason to suspect that boy wasn't the only metahuman at the scene, so i urge everyone to be wary of the situation and refrain from unnecessary travel." He said.

(Speaking of the flash i'm gonna need a nickname if i'm to do superhero stuff)

He continued to watch the news but evetually got bored of it.

(Meh I'll just let the people come up with a name)

He stands up feeling around his body before picking up his bag. The bag shifts and contorts around his body eventually forming into his suit from the fight.

(This thing held up better than expected, so i'll be able to do this)

He disappears from the room in a burst of blue lightning. In another part of the city a woman is unlocking her door but when she enters her apartment it's not as she left it. She walked up to her table and finds a few briefcases on it. She picked up the envelope with a note on it.

"To you and your son (the strong son)"

Mea while on the other side of town Sokudo lay on his couch watching tv.

(Man that felt good, i hope they enjoy the ten mil)

The news relays some new information about the school.

(So now i dont have school for the next week... didn't i stop him before causing any damage?)

At that moment he got an idea and rushed to leave but when he opened the door he found the person he wanted to talk to.

"Oh, hey Sokudo i actually wanted to talk to you." She said.

"Ah me too." He said.

"Oh, you go first." She quickly said.

"Okay, so i know we've only been friends for like a week but i really enjoy your company and wanted to know if you'd like to maybe go on a date?" He asked.

"Oh my god yes!" She squealed.

"Oh uh i didn't expect such an easy yes." He said as he awkwardly chuckled.

"Well i was gonna ask you on a date too." He said.

"Well in that case where do you want to go?" He asked.

"I don't know, i fantasized about going on dates all the time and i have so many idea's and all are so good." She said.

"Hmm well in that case what is central city most known for... beside the flash." He asked.

"Hmm coffee, we are home to THE jitters after all." She said.

"That sounds great." He said.

"Great, tomorrow?" She asked.

"Three pm." He said.

"Great, i cant wait." She said before walking away.

Sokudo closed the door before rushing throughout his room and landing on his bed. He lay there sprawled out as if he'd run out of energy but instead he's the most excited he's every been.

(Oh my god i can't stop thinking about it, what should i wear, how should i act, should i get her flowers, do girls even like flowers these days?)
