Hero: Post B: #4

After the stressful try-outs and evaluations, Thom had finally made the preliminary team. This team would consist of five brand new heroes and one league member. Thom’s leader was Golden Boy. The person he had grown an incredible dislike for throughout the try-outs. Golden Boy always seems to try to bring Thom down. He just simply could not conclude why Golden Boy dreaded him so much. This team was not the only one formed, there were others too. These teams would be competing against each other for a spot on the league. After many days of preparation, the team set out on their first mission. They were to take care of the wreaking balls that were robbing a bank. They tried a pattern, but when Golden Boy got infected by Typhoid Larry, it all went down hill. Somehow Thom ended up being thrown into the next door hospital children’s burn unit by Scarlet. After seeing his team below in despair, Thom had all of the children connect hands, he then produced enough power to short-out half of the city. But because of his healing strength, he was able to heal the children’s severe burns. The team then recovered and set out on a day of fun at the League head quarters, the team would play non-power game like capture the flag in the simulator. All of Thom’s team mates had been tagged out and he was the last man standing. But he somehow captured the flag and was running towards the finish line; he dove barely missing the opponents’ bodies. Then ready to show his amazing victory, Thom brought the flag above his head and started to thrust the pole towards the ground. A large hand reached out his hand and threw it to the side, it was his dad. “I know everything…Out of all the times I’d seen him fly into a rage, I‘d never seen him this angry.”(193) his father had finally found-out his secret.
