Chapter 5: ISSUE #4
" So, you seem in a good mood today."
Nolan said as he threw a baseball across the planet. The ball traveled at a speed so fast that any contact with it could explode a human into tiny pieces. Mark, being nearly as indestructible as his dad stuck his hand out and caught the ball easily.
" Yeah, well I still can't wait to get my new suit. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Mark explained as he threw the ball back towards Omniman.
" Oo, good throw son."
Nolan said as he felt his hand sting a little.
" Thanks."
Mark replied with a snarky grin.
" Look, I'm glad you're enjoying your powers but don't get complacent son. You've been training your whole life for this moment. Don't stop now."
Nolan explained as he threw the ball again.
" I know dad. I know."
Mark replied as he caught the ball.
*Brrrring!*
Mark's phone suddenly started ringing drawing both men's attention.
" Oh, It's Art!"
Mark exclaimed happily as he answered the phone.
" Hey, Art."
Mark said to the man.
" Hey, kid. Just wanted you to know your suit is ready. Anytime you want you can come pick it up."
Art explained to the young man.
"Woohooo!"
Mark yelled in excitement as he started doing loops in the air.
" I'll be right there!"
Mark yelled.
" What is it son?"
Nolan asked in confusion.
" Art says my suit is ready! This is awesome. Seeeee ya later daaaaaad!"
Mark yelled to his father as he got further and further away from his father. Mark swiftly made his way towards Art's tailor shop breaking the sound barrier multiple times in the process.
' Yes, here we go the age of invincible begins!'
Mark laughed as he landed outside of Art's shop. Mark used the secret hatch to the store and entered Art's secret sub-lab.
" Kid! You got here pretty fast. Ready to try out your new suit?"
Art asked the excited young man.
" You know it!"
Mark replied.
" All right, here you go kid."
Art said to Mark. He walked over to one of his shelves and pushed a button on the desk. Once he did, a small container opened up and Mark's new suit was revealed. Mark grabbed the suit from the case and immediately began putting the suit on. He grabbed the collar of the suit and stretched it far enough for him to step into it. The suit fit to Marks body flawlessly, showing off every ti ny detail of his muscular body.
" How do you like it kid?"
Art asked as he watched the boy observe his suit.
" I love it!"
Mark exclaimed.
" Glad to hear it. I know you were on the fence about the face mask so, I made it separate from the suit."
Art said as he handed the boy his facemask.
" Thanks Art, seriously this is amazing. What about the device I asked about?"
Mark asked.
" Still working on that kid. I'm almost done with it but I know how much you were looking forward to the suit, so I figured I'd give it to you now."
Art explained to the boy.
" I see, well thanks Art!"
Mark yelled before racing out of the building.
' You know what I'm not usually one to be an asshole. But I think it's time for a.'
[TITLE CARD!]
Mark stood on top of a nearby crane, as he looked down over the city. Suddenly a squadron of cop cars raced by below him, alerting him of a crime nearby.
" Well, time to go make my debut."
Mark said as he leapt off the crane and flew towards the scene of trouble. Mark followed the trail of cops until they arrived at the scene of a bank robbery.
" Hmph, this guy has no idea the trouble he's in. Let's end this fast."
Mark said to himself as he rushed towards the man.
" You see the hole in the wall, right?"
The man asked the cops before pointing his laser arm at them. He went to fire at the cops but was stopped when Mark suddenly slammed his fist into the man's jaw sending him flying across the city block like a doll. Mark quickly chased the man's body and slammed him into the ground hard, knocking him out.
" Dude, not your lucky day."
Mark said to the man as he carried his unconscious body to the cops.
Mark slowly floated down towards the police carrying the man and set him face down on the pavement.
" Here you go guys, I believe he's all yours."
Mark said to the men.
" Uh... Thanks Mr?"
The officer asked.
" Invincible."
Mark said triumphantly as he posed for the cops.
" Yeah, well thank you Invincible."
The officer said as he cuffed the unconscious villain.
" No, problem officer."
Mark said to the man before flying off towards his home.
' That was awesome!'
mark yelled to himself as he soared high above the city basking in his new life.
" Oh man. This is truly beautiful."
Mark said to himself as he looked out at the sun setting high above the clouds. The beautiful red and orange hues painting the sky. Mark took in the sight until the sun finally set before finally continuing his journey home.
' Okay, so I think I got this figured out. There are similar characteristics between both the Comic version and tv version of Invincible in this world. So, that means I don't know what to expect because the Tv show only covered so much. So, what will happen after our fight? Oh man, I hate going into this so blind.'
Mark thought as he flew home.
Mark landed softly in his front yard and opened the door to his house.
" I'm home mom!"
Mark yelled out as he walked into his home.
" Oh, hi honey, how was your first day as a superhero?"
Debbie asked as she hugged Mark.
" It was pretty awesome. Beat the bad guy and saved the day."
Mark replied with pride.
" Good job son. I knew you would."
Debbie stated as she kissed Mark on his forehead.
" Where's dad?"
Mark asked.
" I don't know. He kind of just vanished earlier. But you know your father he does this all the time. I'm sure he'll be back any moment."
Debbie replied.
" Well, okay. I'm heading in for the night. It's been a long day and I'm pretty tired. Love you mom."
Mark explained to his mother. He kissed her on her cheek and went upstairs.
Mark closed his door and collapsed onto his bed. He took a deep breath and sighed.
" So, I guess I know what's happening right now.'
Mark thought as he stripped out of his costume. He stepped back into his bed and forced himself to sleep knowing the coming days wouldn't be so easy.
