Flaming kid

"What a nice breeze" I smiled as I rode my motorcycle through the roads of old Trafford "I wish I could do this all day".

As I enjoyed the breeze blow past my face, I finally reached the canteen I know and love so much, not wasting any time I hopped off my bike and walked into the canteen with a smile on my face.

"Hello Josh" I greeted the boy whom looked up from what he was doing.

"Oh Mr Acker" he greeted with a smile "It's been seven months since you visited, did anything happen?" he asked.

"No its nothing, I was just busy with work, like really busy" I assured the boy with a smile.

"Well if you say so" he accepted as he changed his face changed from a worried one to a smiling one "So... the usual?" He asked making me nod.

"Ok, your order will be with you in a min" he said as I nodded and walked to my table, taking my seat and browsing through my phone.

...

"Your order is here... oh if it isn't Mr Acker" I heard as a woman reached my table, tray in hand.

"Hanna, how is it" I replied to the woman as she served my food.

"Business been doing good, and I bet it will skyrocket now that you are here again" She joked with a chuckle making me do the same.

"Well let's see if the food stayed the same quality since I haven't been here" I chuckled as I picked my spoon and took a spoonful of white rice dipping it in some soup.

"Damn, the same as i remembered" I said as I felt the rice and soup touch my tongue making my taste buds tingle in delight.

"I'm happy you enjoy, now I will be on my way" Hanna said as she walked away.

"Sigh... Missions have been keeping me from this wonderful dish" I complained with a little smile on my face.

But as I was about to take another bite, a big explosion resounded in the area making me drop my spoon and the people in the canteen to scream in fear.

"What the actual hell" I cursed as I ran outside only to see the total destruction of a house not so far away 'are there already Superhumans and shit running around?' I cursed in my head.

As I was about to further investigate the problem, my ear bud rung, meaning Frank was trying to reach me "Hello?, Frank?" I said as I tapped the barely visible ear bud.

"Ok I know this might sound crazy but oh boy do I have something to tell you" Frank said through the earbud.

"Get straight to he point please" I asked as I spread my senses around the area, checking to find anything out of the norm.

"We just got a call from the main head quarters that a mission came up, and instead of it being the entire team, the higher-ups decided that you are more than equipped to take care of this mission solo" Frank explained in a single breath.

"Cool and when is the mission?" I asked as I made my way towards the destroyed building, dodging the many people trying to run away and bumping into theirselves.

"Right now, you have to investigate the cause of an explosion at Manchester united Old Trafford" he explained.

"Ok got it, I am actually in old Trafford right now, so just send me the explosion location" I replied.

"Sure, and make sure you do good, it's quite a big thing if the higher-ups think you're good enough to solo a mission and you have clearance so you can show your SHIELD ID to the authorities there, you will be allowed to investigate" Frank said as the call finished and the explosion location beeped on my phone.

'To think they would send me on a solo mission' I thought with some suspicion before pushing the thoughts aside as I reached the destination.

Looking around, the place was filled with firefighters and police making me walk to one of the many policemen there.

"Escuse me, but I have to have you turn around and be on your way, this is official police duty" an officer warned with a gun pointed at me making me take out my ID and show them.

"SHIELD agent" I said making the officer lower his weapon "I'm here to investigate" I said as I walked past him.

Scanning the area with my senses, I felt the presence of someone on the building "I'll be going in" I said as I walked into the barely recognizable building.

"Hello!, is anybody there!?" I called as I walked further into the building, parts of the building falling off.

"I know someone is in here" I said as I walked towards a specific spot "You don't have to be scared" I assured in a soft tone as I picked the debris that blocked the path to a room.

"Please leave, go away, I don't want to kill you!" yelled a little boy as I opened the door to a room.

"What makes you think that?" I asked the boy whom was sitting in a corner and crying.

"I'm a monster!, I killed mom and dad!" The boy yelled in agony.

"Ok kid chill, let's not do this emotional stuff right now, I know you did something you don't like and all but kid don't do this to yourself" I said with a serious tone, trying to skip the emotional stuff, I'm not really good with sad stuff.

"Wha...." the boy muttered in confusion looking at me with a confused face.

"What, don't look at me like that, I just wanted to eat" I complained with a sad face.

"Ahhhh!" the boy yelled as he clutched his head "Run, please get away!" He warned as he began to float in the air, flames bursting out of his body.

"Oh come on, how am I supposed to deal with a kid that's floating in the air with fire covering his body" I complained 'and why is a mutant already appearing at this time' I thought as the boy raised his head fury definitely showing on his face.

"Die!" He yelled as he threw a ball of fame in my direction, but I was quick to dodge and take cover behind a burnt table.

'Well... that's quite the reward' I thought as I jumped away from the table, fast enough to dodge the ball of flame that set the table on fire.

"Chill out kid" I said as I appeared from behind him ready to take him out with a neck chop, but I was quickly forced to back up when the flames on his body expanded.

"Tch, I guess I have no choice" I said as I dodged a ball of fire I bolted towards the boy and not able to react at all, I quickly took out my gun from its holt under my shirt and hit him hard enough to knock him out, making him stop floating and losing the fire that once encased him.

'Sorry kid, you forced my hands' I thought as I caught the boy from the air.

"I couldn't even get to finish my food" I muttered as I walked out of the destroyed house the boy in my hands.
