Chapter 10

Heroes are Chosen

Tarin Jacobs was never normal, especially when he got these powers. He never could believe what happened to him. Him and his friends, now being called all sorts of names, all had powers. When Dark Dash teamed up with a bunch of other supervillains, and caused a cataclysmic event. Tarin and his friends had their hands full, but they managed to pull it off. They saved everybody from worshiping one guy who claimed to be the creator of the universe! They were now known as the city’s finest heroes, and they were able to do so many amazing things. Tarin heard something in the bushes, his reflexes kicked in. He turned behind him with rapid speed.

“Who’s there?” He yelled, a man in a hood came out from behind a street lamp. Wait, that was impossible! “Hey, how’d you do that? You can teleport?”

The man smiled, “Among other things.” The man vanished once more in a puff of smoke, “I’ve been looking for people like you.” The man appeared behind Tarin, acting instantly Tarin used his superspeed to punch the man. To his surprise the man dodged, and ran behind Tarin again.

“People like me? Ones with powers?” Tarin asked,

The man shook his head, “No. Ones who were chosen.” Tarin backed down a bit.

“Chosen?” Tarin asked,

“Yes people like me, well. People that could be me.” The man said, he took off his hood. He had striking white hair, and he was young. A bit older than Tarin.

“Your ‘Chosen?’ What does that even mean?” Tarin asked.

“Heroes are Chosen, not born. Not in this world anyway.” The man said, “My name is Samuel Knight, I’m part of a foundation dedicated to the protection and safety of the multiverse.”

Tarin’s eyes widened, “Multiverse?”

Samuel nodded, “Yes, my foundation is devoted to trying to make the multiverse connected. This world doesn’t know about any of this, but being connected to it means I must look over it.” The man walked forward a bit, and Tarin used his electrokinesis to power himself. “Wow, there. I just want to talk to you about a proposition.”

“What kind of proposition?” Tarin asked,

“I need you all to record all of your powers for me, I’ll know when or if you do. I’ll come get the records then.” The man started walking away, “Oh, and also. Your superhero name is ‘Red Dash’ right? Mine is The Master Knight. You’ll meet more in the future.”

“More of what?” Tarin asked.

“We’ll be in touch!” Samuel yelled to him. Tarin ran into the fog, but the man was gone. What was happening? Was there a new threat coming to this, Dimension? This is going to get him very confused. He looked to where the man had walked. Tarin turned around, and walked home.
