My Other Arch Enemy

On Monday, I walked to school in my usual way, alongside Jason. That seemed to be the constant in my life. The one thing I really needed.

“That fight you had yesterday was weird,” Jason told me.

I nodded. “Yeah, I know. Being blasted by some sort of glare vision then shrunk down to a tiny size wasn’t my idea of a relaxing Sunday evening.”

“Have you seen what people think about the battle?”

“Nah, I’m taking some time off Facebook. It’s just a place for people to go and say stuff they wouldn’t say face to face with anybody. It’s just not worth worrying about or wasting my time on…”

“Well, Wendi thinks it was staged to make you look better.”

“Of course,” I sighed.

“But most people are really thankful you showed up to save the day,” Jason added.

“That’s nice. I do like to help. But what’s your point, buddy?”

“I think this was a test of their powers and your powers. To see how they stack up to you.”

“So do you think these two were made super?” I asked.

Jason nodded. “I do. One was older than you. The other was younger. Yet they were cousins. So they probably have some trait that makes them easier to turn super. I’m pretty sure BAD is making super people.”

“They were from our town,” I said.

MAC chimed in. “I’ve given the recording of your fight to your father’s people for analysis. They noticed that both the girls had slight scars on their necks. Which means…”

“They had implants,” Jason answered.

“Exactly,” MAC said.

“I just thought of something!” I broke in quickly, unable to mask the excitement in my voice. “The Shrink Girl slipped for a second and called herself Ellie Mae. I figure she has to be nine or ten. If we search nearby areas for a girl with that name, we can talk to her and get a clue. She seemed nice. My super hearing picked up the fact that she can only teleport a limited distance.”

“I’ll alert your dad’s people,” MAC said. “I’m sure they will come up with something.”

“Great!” I said.

“Until your dad’s company finds some information for us, I suggest you concentrate on more normal but just as challenging problems,” Jason said. “Have you thought about your campaign yet?” he asked.

I shot him a look. I fought back the urge to hit him with a bit of heat vision. “When would I have had time?” I asked.

Jason grinned. “Good point.” He turned and pulled some rolled up papers out of his backpack. “That’s why I’ve done some work for you!”

He unrolled one of the papers and showed it to me:

VOTE FOR LIA!

SHE’S JUST LIKE YOU!

There was an American flag and also our school flag (which I didn’t even know we had), under the text. It looked pretty cool.

“It’s nice. You know I’m not like anybody else in the school though. Even Tanya, Jess, Marie and Lori aren’t bulletproof and super strong. I’m like really super. Heck, I could fart and be the only one left standing in the school!”

Jason laughed.
