Chapter 16
It took a couple of minutes of being interrogated by reporters before I finally decided to leave the premises.
As I walk away I read through the Inhumane Beast exercise routine. While reading I look at the time and say "Hmm Rose will be up in an hour or two I should get myself a weight vest and these ingredients"
Just as I was making my way to a sports shop, I hear a loud honk with an equally loud immature shout *BEEP* "Uncle Hero!"
Turning around I saw Lily and David in an all-black vintage Cadillac.
Lily was in the lent over David with her hand over the horn and steering wheel while the other hand was waving excitedly at me.
"Theo, where are you going, we'll drop you off," Said David
I don't even know them but I have already inferred that they are good people.
This conclusion is solely based on the fact that the system set them as the target.
From what I understand every task that I've taken upon myself including the ones I didn't take were all for the good of others or for my own good.
Then there's the fact that the system can only be used once I acc.u.mulate 10 positive points.
Putting two and two together, it's pretty easy to understand that the system would only let me do good things and saving bad people would not come under that.
With that knowledge, I give a happy wave and walk up to the window "I really don't want to trouble you but do know a place that's selling weighted clothing"
David's eyebrows ruffled as he thought of a place before gave a smile and said "Get In its pretty far"
"How far?" I ask not getting in
"It's on the other side of the city so about ten minutes by car if you walk it will take you like 40 to 50 minutes," Said David
"Sigh, you win I'll get in the car," I said
"Yay" Said Lily with a happy clap.
I sat myself down in the backseat while getting a feel of the premium tan leather seats.
"So what's the rush," Asked David who started driving
"Well, you saw how clever my clone is. I left two at home to watch over my kid. I just want to get back quickly" I said while leaning back on the soft seat
"You have a kid too, how old is she?" Asked David
"She's 2 years old," I said
"Word of advice Theo, keep her at two cause once they turn 7 like this little devil they just get into so much trouble," Said David while his free hand tickled his daughter, Lily.
"Hehehe stop it. I'm gonna tell mommy that you call me a devil" Said, Lily, before sticking her tongue out
"Haha, so are you married," said David
"We aren't together she wanted to pursue her dreams," I said simply
*Cough* "Your drawing is really good are you an artist," Asked David in an attempt to change the subject.
"Well kinder but my occupation is currently streaming," I said
"Wow, seriously that's a tough job to make a living off. What do you stream? Let me guess
"Believe it or not I'm a magician. You might have seen a clip of me on WeTube I did a performance called silhouettes," I said
"Shady?!!" Said Lily with a shocked face
"Wow you're the guy that was all over Humming and FaceNote," Said David
(Note: Humming is the world's version of Twitter)
"Huh? When did I become such a big hit" I asked confusedly
"You don't know" Said David while making a turn
"All mighty dad! Billy is gonna be so jealous when I tell him. Dad and mom don't let me watch the streaming sites but all my friends watched you and I watched you on WeTube you were so cool" Said Lily
"Huh? wait am I not recognisable" I said
"It's not that, don't be offended but Shady kinder stole the show," Said David
"Hey Uncle Hero, can you get Shady out now, please!" Said, Lily
"Were on the road, maybe later?" Said, David
*Ring, Ring, Ring*
The cars display changed into a phone with the name Samantha next to it.
"Ah its Sam, she must have heard about the bank, you wouldn't mind if I answered" Said, David
"No it's fine," I said
"David, are you and Lily Okay," Said the worried voice of a women
"We're good I'm just dropping Theo off," Said David
"Theo?" Asked the women with a confused tone
"Ah, they must have not announced it yet. Theo is the one that saved everyone. He's in the car right now" Said David before whispering to me "Can you say Hi I kinder feel like she's gonna rip me a new one"
I smile and reply "h.e.l.lo Mrs Kent. I hope it's okay that they drop me off I just need to buy a few things"
"Oh my G.o.d of course not. After that please come over for dinner" Said Samantha
"Umm, I have a kid and a dog at home so..." As I was giving an excuse Samantha cut me off and said "Bring them with you"
"Please, come. It's the least I could do for saving my family" Said Samantha sincerely
"Sure, I'd be happy too," I said
"Good," Said Samantha happily
"Yay Uncle Hero is coming to my house" Said Lily with a loud and happy shout.
After making such plans I had the clone at home make another tray of lasagna as I don't want to turn up empty-handed.
We quickly drove to a gym equipment store that had numerous different types of wearable weights from the typically weighted vest to even weighted trainers.
David had offered to pay for everything but I said that I was treating myself. We then went to numerous shops and purchased a new set of clothes, groceries and stock up on diapers.
Despite his receding hairline, he's only 28 years old. Knowing that his genes had cursed him to be bald at young so he makes a joke about it.
We briefly talked about the military service we did at 18 as we are both super-power holder.
We just hit off and became friends without even knowing it.
We went back and forth before finally getting to my vintage house. I quickly dissipated the Clone that was at home and made a new one that was full f energy.
Rose had just gotten up and had already been cleaned up by the clone.
As I walk in I see Rose and Icy playing together on the floor of the living room.
"Woof, woof" Barked Icy while excitedly rubbing his head on my leg.
"Well aren't you a smart boy," I said crouched down while patting Icy's head
"Daddy!?" Said Rose while reaching out for a hug
I quickly lift her and throw her in the air before catching her kissing her on the head, and ask "Did my little angel sleep well"
"Night, Night good," Said Rose while nodding her head
"That's good we're going to be having dinner at a friends place so pick a toy for you and pick a toy for Icy. Okay," I said while letting her down to look at all her and Icy's toys.
My clone had prepared the diaper bag and put Rose's blanket and sippy cup inside.
About 5 seconds of waiting she had finely chosen her toys. I put Icy in his container just for safety and had my clone carry the diaper bag to the car.
Outside the house, David and Lily were parked up waiting excitedly.
We get into the car and say "This is Rose and this is Icy"
"h.e.l.lo, Rose I'm David. Dvid" Said, David slowly so that she could remember.
"Wow, baby and puppy so cute. I'm Lily say, Lily" Said, Lily
Rose got scared and hid in my chest.
"Grrrr" Icy growled seeing that its master, Rose was scared
"Behave Icy. Rose, it's okay they are good" I said while patting her back in a comforting manner
"Hi, me Rose," Said Rose nervously while giving a small wave.
