8Geeking Out
Episode 3
The final bell rang, and Steve and Toshi left math class to meet up with Snot and Barry. Neither boy could properly focus on the class. They were too preoccupied by the prospect of ACTUAL superpowers.
Steve had noticed his phone was on 2% charge in the middle of class, and for his first experiment, he wanted to see if he could charge his phone with his new electrical powers. He pressed the tip of his finger against the charging port, and to his joy, it actually worked. Toshi saw it and gave him a thumbs up of approval.
The two met up with Snot and Barry, and the four were eager to head to Snot's house and test their powers out.
"Hey Steve, you gotta minute?"
The four boys stopped and turned around, to see Debbie Hyman, Steve's ex-girlfriend. Debbie was a goth, except today she wasn't wearing her typical purple dress. She was wearing a purple blouse, and black blazer. Debbie had apparently signed up as a lawyer for student court, with the express purpose of sending students to the chair. And it seemed her new style of dress made her look even fatter than before, either that or Debbie HAD legitimately put on weight.
"Oh, Debbie...what's up?" Steve said, scratching the back of his head.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go grab dinner tonight?" Debbie offered in a friendly manner. Steve cringed.
"Oh Debbie, I mean I'm flattered...and normally I'd love too, but...I've already made plans." Steve said, nodding to Snot and the others. Debbie smiled.
"It's fine Steve, I understand." Debbie smiled, and walked off. Steve let out of breath of relief when she left.
"Steve, I've never seen you turn down boob before..." Snot said in utter astonishment.
"Are you sick?" Barry yelled, in childish worry.
"Nah, I'm just eager to test out these new powers, aren't you?" Steve said. He balled up his fists, and let a small bolt of electricity pass through them. "I am feeling POSTIVE right now."
Toshi used his telekinesis to take control of Steve's hand, and slapped Steve across the face.
"Alright Tosh...I deserved that one." Steve said. "C'mon, let's go to Snot's house."
Snot's house was abandoned; his mother wouldn't be back for another couple of hours from her nursing job. The quartet of friends was in the backyard, which was littered with broken appliances, piles of lumber, and other assorted crap.
"Steve, I can't believe you blew off Debbie to stand in a pile of crap?" Toshi muttered.
"That's right Toshi. It's gonna be great to cut loose. Snot, what can we smash first?" Steve smiled excitedly.
"Pick whatever you like," Said Snot. He began the sentence with a smile, but soon slouched over and sighed. "This stuff isn't even mine. People just dump crap in my yard."
"Sweet!" Steve smiled. He rubbed his hands together, and looked at a busted refrigerator. He stuck his palm out, and fired a bolt of blue coloured lightning. It blasted the fridge to smithereens.
Steve and his friends all whooped and clapped. Steve turned to Toshi.
"Toshi, throw that oven into the air." Steve grinned excitedly. Toshi nodded and focused his powers on an old trashed oven, and using his telekinesis, launched the oven into the air. Steve raised his fist up and blasted the oven with lighting, causing it to explode.
They boys cheered.
"I wanna try!" Barry said. His eyes flashed green, and his body swelled to a gigantic size. Within minutes, he stood two stories tall, and was as tall as Snot's house. He noticed a massive pile of planks, and picked them up with ease. He lifted the massive planks over his head, and threw them two the floor. But Barry's aim was off, and the planks were rocketing towards Steve, Toshi and Snot.
Toshi used his powers to hold the planks in place, but the tremendous weight of so many objects caused Toshi to strain. He broke out in a sweat and his heels were being pushed into the earth.
"Toshi, hold them steady!" Snot said. "Steve, throw me!"
Snot transformed into a baseball, and Steve picked him up and hurled Baseball-Snot at the planks. Baseball-Snot transformed into a spinning buzzsaw, and sliced straight threw the planks, causing them to fall harmlessly on both sides of Steve and Toshi. Buzzsaw-Snot transformed back into his human form, and was still flying into the air due to momentum. He was caught safely by Barry's humungous paw, and Barry cradled Snot as he shrunk back down.
"Guys, we are AWESOME!" Snot shouted in delight as he hoped out of Barry's arms.
"I know!" Steve grinned. "This is amazing! This is phenomenal!"
"I sense opportunity for profit and wenches." Toshi grinned.
The boy's sense of joy was interrupted by the sound of police sirens. Steve turned around.
"What's that?"
Snot sighed.
"It's the police. Steve, this is the poor neighbourhood. It's basically The Purge." Snot sighed. He looked at his feet. He really didn't like that he lived in this area.
"Snot, this is perfect!" Steve grinned.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Snot asked.
"Guys, we have SUPERPOWERS! And who else have superpowers?"
There was a moment of silence amongst the boys, before Snot piped up.
"SuperHEROES!"
Barry threw up his arms in joy. "Let's be superheroes!"
Snot, Barry and Toshi started to run off, before Steve stopped them.
"Wait, before we run off..." Steve said, as he turned to look off into the distance, listening to the police sirens. "We're gonna need a change of clothes!"
