Hero

Author Note: I changed the Good/Evil Paths a bit. If you already read it, I just adjusted the Evil path again and have that sitting where I like it. The good path I still want to fix the wording, it is closer to what I want but I just can't find the right words, it will still be functionally the same though.

Once I realized it could be an option I couldn’t stop thinking about being a hero. Fighting alongside Batman or well since I’m in NY, Spiderman, and if I become strong enough I could fight along Superman and Thor. Then of course there are how sexy all the Heroines are, even the ones without actual superpowers. Maybe I could bend one over my knee and give it a nice spank…

Pure Thoughts.

Pure Thoughts.

I do in fact feel a lot better when I’ve helped someone than when I’ve screwed someone over. Even if they deserve it. I gotta think of a name though, maybe something to go along with my level system.

…

It is hard to think of one on the spot though. Maybe it will come to me when I get in character. I imagine myself running in a dark alley with some poor girl being mugged by a couple of thugs. I charge in and kick one in the gut, and punch the other in the face in one fluid movement. The second guy is down but the first guy picks up his knife and charges at me. I catch the knife and disarm him.

“That’s dangerous young man.” I say.

I then fling him around into the wall and he’s down for the count. I look over at the girl and her legs gave out in shock,

“Who are you?”

I strike a pose with one fist on my hip, my head slightly tilted up, and raise a fist.

“I am Mister Growth!”

…

No, no. I now have a few ideas of what not to do when I’m a hero as I come back to myself. And that name… I don’t think people will think I’m talking about my powers. I then realize I had struck the pose I had in my mind and a few people are laug--- looking at me. I think now is a good time to get back to working out, on the other side of the park.

…

After getting to the other end of the park and exhausting myself again, it was surprisingly a bit difficult to get into greeting people at first this time. I pull my phone out to check if there is some kind of hero registration. As it turns out it is today, and actually tomorrow. So I guess they made a weekend out of it. It looks like if you don’t make it you will need to come back next year.

I mean I could probably still get in if I just start hero-ing and do a good job. I could also try to hit level 3 before I go in. Hedging my bets wouldn’t hurt and I can still try tomorrow. I would also get some good training. But level 2 did put me in pretty good shape, it can’t be all physical too. When I do get in I will probably be able to get a lot more XP. I could also go in near the end of today’s testing. Getting as much XP now and then even if I don’t level if I see some heroines they give me what I need.

I guess my options are the smart safe choice, waiting. The gamble, go now. Then finally the compromise, get what I can now and head there near the end of the day.
