So just like the title says this is four months later and Alejandro and Kevin have cleaned up crime not just in Washington but all over the world.

Kevin/Shadow still refused to reveal himself to the world. So Aljandro/Ace was the only one who the world recognized. Even though Alejandro/Ace has tried to find other people with powers to form a team. None of them have accepted the invitation.

will here's another chapter enjoy:)

~Alejandro~

During the past four months I've learned that I'm a human solar panel. At least that's what Kevin says. I'm able to absorb sun rays and because of that I can use heat vision. Absorbing energy from the sun is another theory that Kevin has of why I'm so strong. I also found out about my super breath. If I suck in large amounts of air I can release it all at once and I'm able to blow things away. With the same air force as a regular hurricane.

..........

"Hey Alejandro come look at this." Kevin said as he worked on his computer.

"What is it?" I replied as I walked up to him.

"This guy's been robbing banks and stores over the past month all over the world. He also has powers he can fly and has super strength too. But that's all I know about him." Kevin said as a picture went on the screen.

It was sort of a blurry picture but I could still make out his features. He wore a small mask that just covered his eyes. Just like how Shadow has his. He was wearing a black suit with a dark cape.

"Looks like he copied my outfit." I said as I let out a small laugh.

"He's robbed many banks and stores and you focus on his outfit?" Kevin said sounding a little annoyed.

"You can't be serious all the time. Without that mask on you used to be happy and actually laughed.once in a while. But lately you've been all serious and stuff even without it. An now you're scaring the bad guys into confessing their plans to you. What happend?" I told him as I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Whatever nothing in life is always what you expect it to be." He replied. "I've found out where this guy is going to strike next. He's going to strike in New York City around somethime in the afternoon." He said as he shrugged my hand off.

I couldn't force Kevin to tell me what was bothering him. But I wasn't going to let him go so easily. "But there are too many buildings and civilians there. But how come this is the first time I'm hearing about him? If he's been doing this for over a month." I replied.

"I've been handling this case solo but I couldn't handle it. He is just like you strong, fast, able to fly, and his skin is just like yours too. So that's why you need to be careful. Don't go into a fight with this Guy." He replied as he looked at me.

"I can handle myself no one has been able to keep me down. An why have you been going solo, I thought we were a team?" I asked squinting at him.

"Well he might be your match and you can't fight him because it's a too public place. Also me going solo isn't your concern." He replied with a small smirk.

"It is when soomething happens to you and you don't come back!" I yelled out.

He looked at me with a confused and a slight shocked look. "I can handle myself and don't worry about me. Go to New York I got other business to do." Kevin said as he started to walk away.

I wanted to say something but I was done with all his secrets. "Fine then, partner." I took my ear piece off and placed it near his keyboard. Then I flew out of his hideout and headed to New York City.

..........

I waited for the guy to make a move as I waited over the skies of New York City. I've been waiting there patient for hours trying to listen for the slightest alarm.

I heard a people screaming and a silent alarm to notify the police. I quickly flew toward them.

I made it to the bank and the front doors were torn apart. I walked in and the people were all on the ground. A lady saw me and she had fear all over her face. "Don't worry everything's gonna be alright." I assured her as I took a look around.

The safe was locked with a huge circular steal door. But the door was on the floor bent and had many dents.

I looked in the safe and there he was. He was stuffing money in a huge bag. "Who are you?" I asked as I stood guarding the only way out.

"I guess it was only a matter of time before you caught up to me. I'm Aero." He said turning to face me. "So you're the hero huh, you've come to stop me and take me to jail"

"Yes I am and I will." I replied as he walked closer to me with the bag of money in his hand.

"Well then this should be fun." He said as he punched my chest. I flew back smashing out of the bank and hitting the building across from it.

I grabbed my chest as I felt a little bit of pain. "Damn he is strong." I mumbled to myself as I got up. The police were already outside the bank. "Are you alright?" One of the policemen said as he came and checked on me.

"I'm fine." I replied as the Aero came out of the bank. "It's been great but see you later." He said as he took off into the air. I quickly followed behind him.

I got close enough and I grabbed his leg. I spun him around and threw him towards the ground.

He smashed into the middle of time square. I grabbed the bag of money and threw it aside. So I picked up Aero.

"You're the first who's been able to take me down." Aero replied as I picked him up. "Well I'm honored." I said as I gave him a slight smile.

He put both of his hands on my hand and kicked me in the face. I was forced to let him go and I smashed into the ground. The road was shattered as I hit it. Thank God the cars were stopped or else I would have crashed into one.

I got back up and saw Aero still standing their. Holding a grown women and the bag of money. I guess he wasn't planning on taking it easy on me.

"Being a hero is great but when it comes down to it you always have to make a choice. Either let the bad guy get away and safe the civilian. Or get the bad guy and let the civilian fall. Make your choice." Aero said as he threw the lady in the air.

I quickly flew up to catch her as Aero started to fly away. I grabbed the lady and placed her down on a nearby roof. I flew after Aero and I was hanging up fast. He turned and looked at me.

"You wont give up will you. I guess I have no choice then." He said as he threw the bag of money down.

I stopped and flew down to grab the money. I got the money but I lost sight of Aero. "Next time I wont go easy on him." I said to myself as I flew back to the bank to give them the money.

..........

I made it back to my house and flew in through my window. The lights turned on and I saw my dad standing next to the door.

"What do you think you're doing?" He said sternly. "Oh you caught me this is my Halloween costume." I told him trying to make his mind drift from the obvious solution. Even though Halloween pasted and we were in December.

"Don't give me that I know what you've been doing." He replied as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then you know that I'm doing this to help people." I responded.

"It doesn't matter you need to stop this now. I moved us to Washington so you would be secluded from everyone else." My dad said raising his voice.

I didn't know what to say I was shocked that he moved us here just to seclude me. A tear escaped my eye as I tightened my fist. "So to you I'm just some kind of monster?" I asked him.

"That's not what I meant, Alejandro wait!" My dad called out as I started to go out the window. I didn't want to hear anymore and I flew out of the window, without looking back.

I didn't know where to go so I just flew up high enough to look over the entire Royal City.

I stood there floating for I don't know how long, but I didn't want to go home. I didnt wanna face my dad at least not right now anyway.

I stayed there in silence and I could hear everything. The people talking down below, the cars on the road, and even the the slightest whisper.

I heard a loud crash and a car horn going off just on the outside of the town. I hurried to try to save the people in the car accident.

As I got closer I recognized one of the cars. It was my dad business car. My eyes widened as I flew faster towards it. The women in the other car was out and on her phone. Probabaly calling the ambulance.

I checked my dad's car that was flipped over off of the road. I picked up the car and put it back on four wheels. I tore the door off and pulled my dad out.

He was bruised, cut up, and had blood spots everywhere. "Dad." I whispered to him so the lady wouldn't hear me. "Wake up, please I'll give up all this just..."

"No... I..." He said gasping each word. "Don't give it up... I was wrong for moving you here. I thought it would be better for you to stay low and hidden. I thought I was looking out for you but I just did it for myself." He said as he grabbed my hand.

"No you're going to be fine! I'll make sure of it. I'll take you to the hospital right now." I told him as I picked him up. Tears of sadness fell from my eyes as I head toward Seattle.

I made it to a hospital and rushed into the front door. "Help! I need help!" I yelled out and a few moments later nurses and doctors came out with a stretchers. I watched as they rolled him away and I quickly left the hospital.

..........

I arrived at my house and rushed in through the front door. "Mom!" I called out to her as I saw her on the sofa.

As she turned her smile turned into a frown when she saw tears running down my face. "What's wrong?" she asked getting up and walking towards me. "Dad was in an accident and I think its bad we need to go see him now." I told her as I let out a big sob.

Her eyes went red and tears started to fall from them. "Alright go change out of your suit and meet me in the car." She said as she grabbed her keys from the counter. "There's no time." I told her as I got inpatient.

"You need to go change now." She said sternly. I did as she said and ran up to my room and changed, and quickly took out my contacts.

I ran out the door and my mom had the car running. I walked over to the drivers window. "There's no time I'll get us there faster! Turn off the car." I told her as I picked up the truck. She cut the engine and I took off with the truck on my shoulders.

........

I made it to the parking lot of the hospital and put the truck down. My mom quickly opened the door and we both started to run into the emergency entrance. We ran toward the front desk where a nurse was sitting. "We need to see Alejandro Becerra Perez." My mom told her as she tapped her hand on the desk.

"He's in room 207 just go down that hallway there." The nurse replied as she pointed to the hallway. "Thank you." My mom replied as we ran down the hall looking at each room number.

We found the room and opened the door. A doctor was in there with my dad. He noticed my mom and I standing in the doorway.

"You must be his family. Um ma'am can I speak to you outside." He said in a sad voice. He walked out of the room with my mom and I walked over to my dad's side. I heard the docotor outside talking to my mom.

"I'm sorry he's not going to make it. The accident crushed his right lung and he's lost to much blood." The doctor told my mom. A few seconds later I heard my mom start to cry.

I closed my eyes as tears started running down my eyes again. I felt a touch on my hand and I slowly opened them. "Dad I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

"It's alright son there was nothing you could do." He said slowly. "Yes there was I could have..."

"Stop blaming yourself." My dad said as he interrupting me. "You can't blame yourself, I was the one who wasn't looking while I was driving. But I know I'm not going to make it so I have to tell you this." My dad said as he griped my hand tighter.

"You chose to be this hero this symbol of hope. An I may not agree with it, but I'm proud that you're doing it for the right reasons. Don't give up on what you believe in or fight for." He said as he took another gasp for air.

"Come closer." I did what he asked.

My eyes widened as he told me those words. I raised my head back up as I heard my mom walk in still crying.

"Let me talk to your mother I don't have much time." I stepped back so my mom and dad could have alone time.

.......... Next Day ........

I stood there next to my mom at my dad's funeral. We already finished his burial and everyone was giving there wishes.

I couldn't cry anymore my eyes were all dried up. Since I spent the whole night crying my eyes out. But I know my dad wouldn't have wanted me to be sulking and feeling sorry for myself.

So I just bottled up my feelings and blocked them from coming back up to the surface. "Alejandro we're moving back to Florida." My mom said as she put her hand on my shoulder.

"We're going back?" I asked in surprise. "Yes we need to get away from all of this. I bought us the flight tickets already, we're leaving tonight." She replied.

"You're right." I agreed with her as I let out a sigh.

After everyone left my mom and I went to my dads tomb. We said our last goodbyes and then we left home.

We spent all afternoon packing and putting the boxes in the movers truck. "Mom I gotta do something before I go I'll meet you at the airport." I told my mom as we finished putting the boxes in the truck.

"Fine then, just be at the airport before 6:30." She said as she got into the car.

.........

I flew to Kevin's hideout and went in through the secret entrance.

"Kevin." I called out to him as I stood there in darkness.

"Youre leaving." Kevin said as the light turned on. "How did you know?" I asked.

"I heard your father died and I saw the movers truck outside your house. I past by your house when I was coming back from my business." He replied.

"Yeah I'm leaving but I'm not going to stop the progress that I've made. I made the people believe in me. An I can't let them down, but I'm not always in the loop of what's going on. So I've come to ask you for help." I told him as he just stared back at me with no expression.

"Catch." Kevin said as he threw something at me.

It was the ear piece that I left on near his keyboard yesterday. "Thanks... I'm sorry. You can handle yourself and your untitled to your secrets." I replied.

"My mom died a long time ago." Kevin said as he put his head down.

"Oh I'm sorry I had no idea." I replied knowing how it felt to lose a parent.

"At first I wanted revenge on the people who murdered my mom. I almost did too I could have killed him." He paused.

"Did you?" I asked and he rose his head up.

"No my mom wouldn't have wanted me that. I turned him into the cops instead. After that I started to wear the costume, the mask and called myself Shadow. I didn't want another kid to lose their parents like I lost my mom. Cause of some punck with a gun." Kevin said as a tear came out his eye but he quickly wiped it away.

This was the first time that I've seen Kevin so open. It made me feel happy that he actually trusted me in telling me his background story. Without thinking I just started running toward Kevin and wrapped my arms around him.

Kevin hesitated a little bit but then he returned the hug. I knew that Kevin didn't like to hug but I felt like I just had to at that moment.

"Don't you gotta plane to catch?" Kevin asked and I quickly let him go. "You're right, I'll keep in touch." I replied as I put the small chocolate chip looking head set in my ear.

"See you soon." I yelled to him as I was flying out of his hideout.
