Ethan and John were finally arriving at their city, it was night and a long drive since John was just sleeping in the back while Ethan was just shaking him by crashing every 5 seconds.
John: "Should I drive instead?"
Ethan: "No, got it!"
Ethan was visibly struggling to maintain the car from accidentally speeding to accidentally doing the most badass drift in existence.
John: "Fine! Get out! Lemme drive!"
John sat up from the seat that was lowered to the last and pulled the seat lever, and the seat flew upright.
Ethan: "Or what!?"
John: "You are 15, you aren't of age, you're lucky that we weren't pulled over."
Ethan: "Tch, fine."
Ethan furrowed a bit and stomped on the break, causing the car to suddenly stop, the force caused John to hit his head on the front, while Ethan wasn't in the least affected.
Ethan then opened his door and got out and waited as John got out of the passenger seat and walked to the other side and got into the driver's seat.
Ethan got in the passenger then closed the door, folding his arms as his eyebrows were furrowed.
John: "Now watch thi-"
The car suddenly began speeding, John pressed the break and he hit his head once again, the bag puffing out and inflating.
Ethan: "You were saying?"
John pushed against the bag that covered him and pushed it back into the steering wheel then sighed.
John: "What the hell dude? It's too sensitive! How do you expect me to drive?!"
Ethan just shrugged and smirked.
Ethan: "Well I did it like that to have better control of the car and for it to not be very heavy."
John sighed and got out of the car, summoning his own monster truck, then he climbed to the driver's seat and got in, and Ethan did the same but with the passenger seat.
John then began driving, it was slow, Ethan was used to being fast so it felt like he was in a loading screen in an old console.
Ethan: "Can't we go faster?"
He looked over at John and… My guy is fast asleep… on the wheel, Ethan sighed and shook him awake, they switched places once again, John was half asleep so he thought that Ethan was max verstappen.
While Ethan was driving, he noticed that Every single thing he did was very heavy, the staring needed some strength to move, the pedal needed to be pushed far to move.
Ethan: "Damn your strength and durability-based personality."
Ethan looked at the sleeping John, it felt like every one Ethan knew had their own class, John being the tank, Ethan being the OP hero, Minami being the… assassin? No… mage! Yeah!
What about Lily? Probably… The mood lifter, Herobot? Probably the strategist, Velastra is obviously the oracle, demon king? Wait… Where did ghost King go? He disappeared… oh forget it, next time I see him I'll just do an interrogation
-OH the writer needs to say something! "Planning on making a ghost king spin off, so expect it after finishing my romcom story!" that's it? You know you could've waited until I'm done with the reading right? "Don't care!"-
Ethan's thoughts kept drifting to other things like trying to understand why he acts autistic or like he has ADHD, or why he is weird acting sometimes, but in the end.
Ethan drove past John's house and only realized it when he was a kilometer past it, so he had to go back and wake John up.
When John awakened he stretched and the truck disappeared and John feel to the ground, while Ethan was mid air. The fall woke John up fully.
Ethan: "Morning."
John: "Ow! How are you not falling?"
Ethan: "What do you mean? I'm still in the car?(barriers)"
John: "Whatever. Good night"
Ethan did a small salute with two of his fingers before he "drove off", John walked into his house and fell asleep in his room.
While Ethan went in through the bedroom window and this time there wasn't a lily waiting for him, it was 3 am though. She shouldn't me awake.
Then he remembered it was Minami's turn to take care of Lily this week. So he plopped down onto the bed and found himself sleeping.
The next day, Ethan woke up because of some banging and arguing downstairs, he got up, his eyes felt like a spiky sun, so he rubbed them but now they were just a sun.
He glanced at the mirror when he was walking to the door, seeing that he slept in his tshirt and jeans.
He just ignored it and walked downstairs to see some armored soldiers and his parents, the soldiers armor was black, and reflected alot of light.
Ethan's mom: "YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE HIM AWAY!! HE'S OUR SON!!"
Soldier 1: "I'm sorry ma'am but it's the law, the president said that any powered people should either be registered heroes or part of the military."
Ethan: "Nope! Not becoming a part of the army at all."
Ethan walked down the stairs and sat on the arm rest on the couch, his face neutral.
Soldier 1: "Well, the president predicted you would say that, so he told me to tell you that he would excuse you of any crime you did."
Ethan: "That is?"
Soldier 2: "Assault, under aged driving, destroying public property, and illegally obtaining information."
Ethan yawned and a sandwich appeared in his hands, probably because he went to the kitchen and came back, he ate it as the soldiers waited for his response.
Ethan: "Still no, other heroes do the same thing yet I'm the one charged for them? Goes to prove how insignificant and desperate these guys are."
The soldiers all glared at him expect one who smirked, then that soldier shot a beam which Ethan blocked with a barrier.
Ethan: "Too slow!"
The soldiers looked at him block casually with shock and fear, their thoughts were: How did he block a beam of light? It should be impossible to move that fast!
Ethan: "Let's take it outside."
The soldiers each gulped, a yellow glowing paper appeared next to Ethan, on the paper was in big bold letters: "IT"
Ethan walked with the paper outside and it disappeared, the soldiers followed him, they were shaking from fear.
Ethan chuckled as the paper disappeared, then he stopped and turned around, his face shifting to a glare.
Ethan: "Who is the 'president'? And where is he now?"
Soldier 3: "Uh… He is… Mr. Harrington."
Ethan: "Knew it. Where is he?"
The soldiers all stayed silent as a limo pulled up behind Ethan, out of it came out the same lawyer that put him to jail. This time, he was with an unfamiliar woman.
Mr. Harrington: "Ah yes, dear Ethan!"
Ethan: "Shut up."
Mr. Harrington: "Aww, is that how you treat friends? Call me Ben."
Ethan: "Okay… 'Ben' leave me alone."
Ben: "No… Or this will get out."
MR. Harrington pulled out his phone and on it was a CTV footage of Ethan in a bank, robbing it, and taking a big bag of money outside.
Lightning striked? Stroke? Whatever, the phone and it blew up, Ben dropped it and looked at his shaking hand which was slightly hurt.
Ben: "Don't worry I have it uploaded to goggle drove."
Ethan: "You do know that, that wasn't me, plus I can tell it's made with AI."
Ben: "It's not!"
Ben began laughing maniacally, then he snapped his fingers after calming down. The woman next to him shifting appearance into an exact copy of Ethan.
Ethan stared at her, then looked her up and down, then smirked… look at those glowing eyes… Ethan's eyes can glow but yellow not that hue of light brown-yellow, the color of paper.
Ethan: "Look at that, a weakness, glowing eyes. Now I know how to counter your measure, plus I can do that too."
Ethan's appearance began to change into that of Ben's appearance, the exact copy. Though he was slightly bigger but no one would notice…
Ethan: "Blackmail me like that, and I'll blackmail you like that."
Ben: "Damn it! Fine!"
Ethan: "One more thing! Send me that video I wanna see it…"
Ben shook his head and walked away, into the limo, and before he could close the door, Ethan appeared on the side of the limo and winked.
Ethan: "You are gonna excuse me… right?"
Ethan's face became cold as soon as he said "right", Ben stammered for a few seconds before nodding.
Ethan: "Good. One more question, I noticed you guys haven't put me in the super villain jail, that you put ghost king in."
Shapeshifter woman: "Because that prison is owned by the IHO not the government, we still haven't made prisons like that."
Ethan: "Got it, thanks!"
The woman went in the car from the other side and closed the door, Ethan got off the car and walked into his home and sat on the couch, seconds later, the limo drove away.
