Chapter 4

So, who does get it?

Theo Anders, son of the Supervillian Kaiser

Theodore's eyes flashed around the cafe, almost as if to scan for any hidden cameras, Was this some sort of prank television show? The somewhat pudgy boy sighed.

There was simply no way it was real or worked right? Just some dumb dude's idea of a joke. For a moment, Theo could not help but fantasize about what he could do with it if it were real.

He could use it to finally lose some weight, the boy thought looking down at his moderately overweight stomach. Theo had tried many times to exercise, but in the end, he just ate too much. Whenever he was stressed or down, he would have a snack.

And he was stressed a lot. He was after all, the son of the stern and overbearing Max Anders, CEO of Medhall, the largest employer in Brockton Bay, who also moonlighted as Kaiser, leader of the notorious white supremacist gang The Empire 88, which was also the largest criminal organization in the bay.

Everyone expected him to trigger, gain superpowers of his own, like every other member of his family, and join them in fighting for 'the cause' as they called it. There were only a few problems. First, Theo had yet to gain powers. Two, he was not a person inclined to **** in the first place, what his father called 'cowardice'. Three... Theo was not actually racist. At least, no more so than any other naively sheltered rich white guy. Worst of all... Theo wanted to be a hero.

If the book worked, he could do so much. He could give himself superpowers, end the evil organization his family had run for generations, fix up the Bay's crumbling economy... He could be a hero.

If the book worked. And, it obviously would not.

Does he at least test out the book?
