Jack's story

Ed and Serena were talking at the hospital, and Steve was with Liz talking to his parents on the phone. Suddenly Steve appeared with two cans of soda.

"Don't worry Zoe is strong, she will recover from this" Steve said trying to cheer me up.

"She was coming towards me when she was pulled into the cinema" says Jack sadly.

"Don't blame yourself, you couldn't do anything" says Serena taking one of the soda cans.

I decided to go home by taxi, when I got home my parents were waiting for me at the door, after I told them everything that happened I went to dinner.

"Son, don't worry I know the doctor at that hospital, Zoe will get better" said my mother trying to cheer me up.

"If I had used my powers maybe I could have saved her" says Jack.

"You did well not to reveal your powers, otherwise we'd have to move and change our identities" says my dad taking something from the closet.

"If it were my mother or one of her friends wouldn't you use your power to save them?" asked Jack.

"I would go somewhere with no one around, and use my powers to make my mask and save everyone, but your power is intangibility and mine is the creation and manipulation of highly resistant ribbon" replied my father.

"Don't worry about it, your dad has a job and needs your help," my mom said.

"Here," my father said, showing a photo of a museum.

"Our contractor wants a jewelry that is on display at this museum, I know you're worried about your friend, but this job is important," my father said.

"I think I'd better do something to distract myself, tell me more about this service," Jack said.

"We're going to break in tomorrow night, we'll get some stuff so they'll think it's a simple robbery. As usual you go in to destroy the cameras and I go in later to get things" says my father.

The next day I saw that Ed texted me saying that Zoe would get better. I decided that I would review the plans for today's work, I researched routes that the superheroes of that region used, which heroes and their powers have in that region and the map to escape in case of any problem.

"Gee, without Zoe with her knowledge of superheroes, the research is very boring" Jack said to his father.

After many hours of research I finally got together with my father to come up with plans. That night, when we arrived at the museum, we realized that security was different from what we had been told. Even so, we went ahead with our plans, managed to arrest all the guards and destroy the cameras without much problem. When I found the jewelry I was supposed to steal, I realized that I was emanating a strange aura from it, I asked my father what it was and he told me it was nothing, he put all the jewelry in the bag and we quickly left the place.

On the way out of the museum I noticed that there was a shadow of a person at the door, I stopped my father before approaching and we decided to go to another exit. Suddenly someone jumps in front of us, it was a superhero in a silver bird outfit.

"This is Metal Hawk, he wasn't supposed to be here," Jack said nervously.

"Looks like some criminals know me," said Metal Hawk with a laugh.

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for that," my father said, picking up a smoke bomb and dropping it on the floor.

My dad handed me the bag and we ran in different directions, as I predicted Metal Hawk came after me. However Metal Hawk with an absurd speed managed to grab the bag, I laughed and walked through the wall closer to the exit. I was reunited my father and we fled by car. At the museum, Metal Hawk opened the bag and saw that there were only smoke bombs that exploded in his face when he opened the bag.

"Good idea to trick that hero using the bag," my father said in the car.

"I saw this in a comedy movie with my friends," Jack said with a laugh.
