EPISODE 3
DANNY'S HOUSE.
QUEENS, NEW YORK.
DANNY:
After what felt like a long sleep, I finally regained consciousness. Realizing I was shockingly NOT DEAD, I quickly sat up, looked around to know where I was and how I was still ALIVE. I eventually calmed down for moment, checked my body and realized that all the burns I had we're gone. Seeing that, I became even more confused and couldn't stop asking myself "what happened?"A moment later, my dad walked in, wearing his usual white buttoned short sleeve shirt , black pants, black shoes and black tie, sighed in serious relief and went on to answer some of my questions.
DAD:
Danny, your awake! Thank the universe! You got us worried there. Finding you unconscious on my way back from work really didn't sit right for me. Are you feeling ok?
After assuring him I was ok, he left while mentioning that I may have fainted from a headache or something. After he left, I stood up from my bed and kept reasoning how I survived from a friggin LIGHTNING STRIKE with ZERO injuries. Multiple possibilities just kept flowing through my head even the possibilities of POWERS. At one point, I finally heard myself, calmed down and decided to pick up my phone and search up possibilities but then I gave up on that idea when my answer came to me unexpectedly.
(Danny walks up to his phone on the desk and picks it up. He finds it out of battery and immediately squeezes it in frustration. Electricity then crackles from his hands and causes the phone to fry. Danny on seeing his phone fry, let's it go immediately and steps away from it. He eventually looks at his right palm and forces electricity to crackle out of it again.)
After seeing what I saw, I knew I needed help.
The next day, after seeing a few more insane things ive been doing, wearing my black jeans, white T-shirt, brown sneakers and a coincidental blue hoodie with a lightning bolt design on it and after what felt like a 20 minutes walk, I finally reached Ronald's house, knocked on his door, met he's mum Ms. Sanchez, greeted her, went up to Ronald's room, kicked down he's room door, ready to ask for help and unsurprisingly met him on his bed, wearing black jeans and a black Earth Conflict: Fall of Ground-Runner T-shirt, playing Renshin Compact on his phone which worried me a bit cuz he's been playing that game for weeks now and I suspected he barely has had contact with the real world because of it. After he partially greeted me, I quickly took his phone away, placed it aside. Ofcourse, he wanted to go on a rant on how I interrupted him at a crucial moment in he's game, but I quickly stopped him and told him with a serious and genuine tone that "I needed help." He immediately looked concerned from my tone after i asked him for help and asked me "what was wrong?" I started listing all the weird things going on with me like going really fast, frying stuff, sparking from my hands and so on. He eventually told me he was confused and asked me to "calm down and try to sum all my problems into one sentence." So I calmed myself down, took a deep breath and told him....that I had super powers. Immediately after hearing this, he slowly kept his right hand on my left shoulder, got me all confused, and immediately wiped a STINGING slap across my face. When I asked him "what that was for?", he told me that the slap was for "interrupting his game to rant all about a possible dream I had and to bring me back to sanity incase if I've lost it." Knowing he didn't believe me, I decided to show him what I was talking about.
(Danny quickly picks up RONALD'S phone from the bed and throws it towards the window. Before Ronald reacts, Danny appears in front of the window andcatches the phone. Ronald slowly stands up looking shocked while trying to make sense of what just happened.)
Knowing that he was literally speechless and I needed him to snap out of his shock, I carefully gave him back his phone, placed my hand on his left shoulder and wiped a slap across he's face. To be honest, the slap was more of a revenge kinda thing but, if it works, it works. After the slap and Ronald accepting he deserved the slap, Ronald finally got out of his shock and had ALLOT of questions to say the least.
RONALD:
W.T.F did u just do?! Was that what you meant by going fast?! That's not how you go fast?! No one goes fast like that! Could you always go fast like that?! HECK! Does your DAD GO FAST??!! What the HECK??!!
After letting him freak out a bit, I grabbed his shoulders and asked him to pull his shoot together. I answered his questions, saying "I couldn't go fast like that, I never could go fast like that and neither can my dad." After answering some questions to keep his blown up mind intact, I told him that "I got struck by lightning yesterday while I was talking to him over the phone and when I woke up yesterday, I found myself being able to do what he just saw and more." Even after the explanation I gave him, he still felt confused and had allot of questions on his mind but me being desperate for help, I told him that "I was as confused as he was and asked him if there was anyone he knew that could help except for doctor cause I wasn't ready to be handed over to the military." And thankfully, he did. He said "he knew a girl of our age that's really smart and really into science and that she could most likely help me." Not wanting to waste anymore time, I told Ronald to "grab his shoot and take me to her Ronald." He then grabbed his black hoodie and black Solid-Gentle Two Sneakers and we went off.
After what felt like twenty-five minutes of walking, we finally arrived at a garage that according to Ronald, "belonged to the girl." After a moment of looking at the garage, Ronald walked up to the garage door, knocked on it, got the girl's attention and began to work his magic.
GIRL:
Whose there?
RONALD:
It's me Charlotte, Ronaldinho Sanchez
CHARLOTTE:
Who?
RONALD:
Ronaldinho Sanchez, your friend?
CHARLOTTE:
I'm not sure I recall. Do you have any other identity?
RONALD:
Oh COME ON!??! Are u really doing this right now?!
CHARLOTTE:
I repeat, any other identities?
RONALD:
(Looks at Danny for a moment then looks back at the door.) For the love of the universe....(Sighs, lowers his voice and bows his head in disappointment.) Sugar_Daddy 127.
CHARLOTTE:
HA! I knew
RONALD:
DANG IT!!! (The garage slowly opens.)
After the garage door opened up and giggling my butt off about the sad demise of Ronald's pride, we walked into the the garage, got to see the Charlotte girl who dressed in a sleeve less grey shirt, brown cargo pants, short boots and googles on her fore head. To be honest, she looked more like a mechanic than of a science type of person. A moment after seeing her, by the special grace of the universe, I was able to behold the beauty infront of me. The garage had it all, a big enough flat screen TV with a Fun-Section Five for it, two vending machines, a streamer styled PC set up, a techy crafting bench and multiple weird looking but cool looking machines. After seeing the set up she had, she reminded me that we haven't met before, so I told her my name and she told me hers after. After the introduction, I immediately remembered the reason we came by and had Ronald tell her about my powers and ask her "if she could help get rid of them." She thought Ronald was messing with her to get her back for the destruction of his pride but then I told her that " he was telling the truth and I got it from being struck by a lightning bolt." and to make her believe, I showed her my right hand and made it to spark a bit. After telling her that, she opened her eyes in shock, quickly jacked me by the shirt and asked me "what I got struck by again?" And after repeating myself, saying a "lightning bolt", she let me go, talked to herself a bit in excitement and immediately asked me for "my right hand". After giving her my right hand, she out of absolutely nowhere, pulled out a friggin syringe and stabbed it into my arm and took some of my blood by force. After the painful and RUDE extraction of my blood, she quickly went to the microscope on her crafting bench and began trying to get a good look at it and eventually freaked out in excitement after she was done. Being confused, "I asked her what exactly was going?" and the response I got from her was...
CHARLOTTE:
(Excited.) Confirming a theory of mine, which is true! You've been struck by THE UNIVERSAL LIGHTNING!!!
DANNY:
The Universal what?!
CHARLOTTE:
THE UNIVERSAL LIGHTNING! For centuries, there has always been a talk about these Storm-Chasers chasing down a cosmic like energy that forms in a storm and strikes once in a blue moon and that lightning somehow just struck you, which explains why there was a split second black out from yesterday's storm when a lightning strike was heard. THE UNIVERSAL LIGHTNING struck you and is now half of you.Heck! Your the friggin UNIVERSAL LIGHTNING! (Pauses.) I feel like the honored one.
After hearing all she said, I honestly didn't know what to say. Being a little doubtful, I asked her "if she was sure?cause the lightning didn't look different to me, it was blue as always." but she assured me she was sure and gave me an undeniable fact, lightning can't give a person lightning based powers. After a moment of processing my situation, I asked her if there was away to get rid of it cause I wasn't ready to have freakish powers that make me feel uncomfortable and make me feel unhuman. Sadly, to my disappointment, she said I couldn't get rid of it, she told me the "lightning is half of me" and to top it off she repeated her last statement with more of serious and literal tone telling me "I am the Universal Lightning."
THE END.
