Chapter 11: His Thoughts On Being A Hero.
Orion could be seen in a room placed in a hospital. 'And...done..' He wiped the invisible sweat off his forehead while checking a box on a piece of paper supported by a clipboard. Using his powers, he was able to infuse them into machines, allowing whoever was hooked up to them to heal 100x faster than a normal person would.
That being said though, if you wanted to use this, you'd still have to pay. The more serious the injury, the less it'd cost. The less serious the injury, the more it'd cost. This would stop those from exploiting the system.
'You know, it feels so good to help people. Like the other day, me and mom were driving throughout the city when we had pulled up to a light. By the lamppost of the light, we saw an old man being pushed by a younger man, the old man being in a wheelchair. It didn't take a genius to figure out the were both homeless.'
"Pops is hungry man. Can you spare some money, please..?" The young man had spoke while the old man kept grabbing at air. "Ah, I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have any change on me right now. Uhm, just take this, okay? You don't need to return it.."
Orion put his hand out the window and had handed them a credit card. On it was over 900 dollars. "Thank you...kind sir. May God bless you.." He bowed to Orion while the old man wearily smiled, showing us that he had no teeth.
"May God bless you as well. Have a nice day sir's.." Ari, who had been driving, smiled at seeing her son's heroism. Being able to see him like that meant she did her job as a parent.
'But yeah, just hearing the man say, 'pops is hungry' had threw me off there. Usually the homeless would say something like please spare me money then say I'm hungry. Not the other way around..' A smile had subconsciously formed on his face while looking out a window.
'I've read many stories were the Mc died and reincarnated into another world with the possibility of being a hero. None of them though didn't want to as it was too much responsibility. Me though? Well, I need acceptance in order to keep thriving, so yes, imma be a hero.
I'll become the strongest hero in the world, one that'll be talked about even after I die. I don't wanna be no nobody who doesn't take names or kick as*. I wanna be someone who eats as* and kick it as well.
See what I did there..?'
The clipboard had then warped into a cellphone and he dialed someone. The line had rung as he put it to his ear. "Young master? What's wrong?" Yuri picked up on the other end with a hint of confusion and worry in her voice.
"Ah, nothing, nothing. I just wanted to check up on you. Is everything fine?"
"Yes, young master... There's no need to worry. You're project is going perfectly.." She spoke with a subtle laugh. "Okay... Call me if anything goes wrong, okay?" He could tell that she had nodded which made him end the call.
'Project H. I bassically created a factory which manufactures the first generation of floating vehicles. What I plan to do to this town before I leave it is make it prosper. I mean, it already does, but without the financial aid of my mother.
Yes, since she had money beyond any number you could think of, she decided to use it and support the town. But what happens if she just one day stops that? She wouldn't but what if? Anyways, I'll go through the neccessary steps of creating businesses and handing them over to trustworthy people.
They can then do whatever to make money, hopefully expanding the town so that more and more people could live here. I wanna make it like a safe heaven for anyone to come and just forget their worries in a way..'
Orion held the silver star pendant that surrounded his neck. The pendant was thin and if opened would reveal a picture of both Ari and Yuri, the people he loved most in the world.
'I do it all to make you guys happy. Even if its unnecessary in your minds, just know deep down that I want to make you proud..'
That's all he wanted in this life. Just to make the ones who had showed him what life truly was worth living for...happy.
"This isn't the bathroom, is it..?" Turing around, Orion had saw someone peeking in the room. They were about the same age as him, had blond short hair and blue eyes. You could see ear rings as well as a ring on his finger. He seemed like your typical bad boy,..but shrunken.
'Bro is 13 and lookin' like that. Jesus, help this kid find better drip..' Orion coughed, walked up to him and said, "Sorry, but as you can see, this isn't the bathroom. It's actually across the hall over there..." The boy, who looked like a pretty boy just like Orion, had turned his head and saw the bathroom.
"Ah, thank you! I owe you one man.." He turned into a run, and ran into the bathroom. From there, Orion could tell that he was fighting demons just by the noises he made. He had soon came back out, holding his stomach, toilet paper had been on his shoe.
"Ah, I'm, Arthur Knight! Thanks for helping me bro!" He extended his hand out towards Orion. Even though he looked like a bad boy, he was quite soft. "Orion. You have nice name, Arthur. It's like the king.."('I wonder if he's a decedent of someone similar to King Arthur.')
Orion took his hands followed by shaking. "You too actually. Orion, like the constellation in the night sky. Your mom must have really loved stars.." They let go and like they must've been friends since birth, had walked into the room together.
"She does actually. It's funny, becuase I love them too, so when I figured out what my name had been, I was ecstatic. Funny how things work out.." Arthur had rested his hands on his head. This seemed to be how he always stood.
"I see, I see.. Wait, Orion? As in, Orion Jewels?" Orion had nodded while reaching into a mini fridge, pulling out two cokes and handing one to Arthur. "Oooo... Your mom saved my grandpa that one time! Can you give her my thanks?!"
As he took a sip from the can with a cheery smile, Orion was slowly setting his down. 'I ain't tellin' her sh*t. Yo piece of crap granddad almost killed my mom. I'll let it slide because he's old though..' Arthur could see him in thought and came to the conclusion as to why.
"Yeah, sorry about that bro. His quirk, which allows him cut glass into certain shapes, had backfired on him and he fell out the window. I'll say that I probably could have helped him early if I heard his screams, but I was too busy playing Cod. Sorry man.."
'Playing Cod? Meh, I guess that's fine. Let's agree to disagree and say that his pops is at fault here..'
"Nah, its..fine. In the end, everyone was safe. I'd say that's all that matters.." They had both smiled, deciding to shake hands once again. "Hey, we should have be friends, you know? I feel like we'll get along well.."
Orion didn't care that his first friend wasn't gonna be a girl like in cliche stories and so, he said, "Sure, why not? I also feel like we'll get along well. Though, I'm sort of weird so you'll have to put up with that.."
Arthur didn't know what he meant by that last part, so he just shrugged it off. It wasn't until a little while later when he found out what be had meant. 'My first friend...well, my first guy friend. I wonder how things will turn out? Will he be my rival or something? My ride or die?
Wait, I think I used that term incorrectly..'

(An: Do you guys like short chapter or long chapters? Short as in less than if not equal to a thousand words or long as in over a thousand words? I feel like with shorter chapters, I can post more quickly, but with longer chapters, I have more time to plan things out.
Oh well. Just tell me what you think.
Also, I hope you had a good day. If it wasn't good, then just hope for a better day tommorow. It'll come to you, I promise.)
