Delilah's POV

It has been a few weeks since Danger Force and I started training to become real superheroes and it's been pretty great so far. My powers don't like showing up when I need them too but Schwoz is helping me work on them.

Whenever I was anxious I would make things float on accident.

I walked into the Man's Nest and saw my dad sitting on the couch with a bowl of cereal, watching a show on the holographic screen.

"Morning." I yawned and he looked up and smiled.

"Good morning, pumpkin." My dad said as I sat across from him on the couch. "Any plans for today?"

I thought about it for a second before shaking my head no. Now that Leah, Henry, Jasper and Charlotte were gone I didn't really have any other friends to hang out with.

Of course I had my four new friends who were awesome, but I spent most of my life with the other's and even though I was a few years younger then them we always hung out together.

"Well, that's good, because you and your new friends are going to find the criminals you let out of prison last night." My dad smirked as he ate a mouthful of his cereal.

I stared at him blankly for a minute or two before groaning loudly, that wasn't what I wanted to do today but I didn't really have a choice.

"Fine, when are the other's going to get here?"

"They should be here soon so head downstairs and wait for them." My dad leaned over and ruffled my hair.

I gently smacked his hands away from my head and smoothed out my hair before getting up and heading towards my school chair.

I pressed the button and got sent down to the classroom just as the other's walked through the door with annoyed looks on their faces, and I immediately knew my dad was the cause.

"You guys got a text from my dad too?" I asked Mika, Miles and Bose and the three nodded while Chapa looked at us and scoffed.

"At least you guys got a text, he threw a rock through my bedroom window with a note taped to it!" Chapa complained, rubbing her head and I laughed.

That was definitely something my dad would do.

"Well, let's go and get this over with." Mika smiled trying to make the best out of the situation, walking out the door with the rest of us.

β€”β€”

After a few hours of searching the town we didn't find any of the criminals but we did find a wing store that had some really delicious wings.

Bose and Mika were somewhere around town still and Miles, Chapa and I were heading back to the Man's Nest.

Miles was walking ahead of the us carrying a tray of wings tightly in his hands, eating one everything few minutes while Chapa and I were talking.

The two of us became pretty close the last few weeks after we were paired up together for training (with me beating her ass, of course).

"My dad is going to kill us for not catching those criminals." I told her, imagining my dad throwing a temper tantrum.

"Yeah." Chapa agreed as she glanced at me. "But were new at this so he can't be that upset."

"True." I agreed.

We walked through the back door of the Man's Nest and saw Captain Man talking to Trent and Mary on a live call.

"-Uh, you're supposed to be rounding up criminals." Captain Man said to Miles just as we came through the back doors.

Trent and Mary glanced at each other and turned back to the screen.

"We were. No criminals at the wing store!" Chapa and I said together.

"Just these bad boys, am I right!" Miles says gesturing to the tray of wings and we smiled.

"AYO!" The three of us shouted, high fiving each other with a wing before they all took a bite.

"Oh hey, are we live?" Chapa asked noticing Trent and Mary on the screen, watching them closely.

"Uh yes, yes we are." Captain Man replied annoyed with the kids.

"What up, newsers!" Miles joked putting a wing up to the screen and Chapa laughed waving.

"This is my interview!" Captain Man grunted as he tried to push them away.

Trent and Mary shared looks as they watched us misbehave like a couple of toddlers.

"It doesn't seem like you have everything under control." Trent says furrowing his eyebrows.

Captain Man awkwardly laughed and cleared his throat.

"No, I've got everything under control, we're taking this situation seriously." He said pointing to the screen.

Chapa and I looked at each other, sharing a evil look and suddenly we started dancing.

"Uh, the girls are dancing." Mary said looking behind him at Chapa and I.

Mika walked in through the back door not noticing what was going on.

"Well, they shouldn't be dancing, they should be looking for criminals." My dad said giving us disapproving looks.

"I lost them at the wing store, but I-Are you doing a interview?" Mika asked nervously.

"Yes, live!" My dad answered annoyed.

"Oopsie." Mika exclaimed, falling on the ground with a grunt trying not to be seen by Trent and Mary.

"Now the three of them are dancing..." Mary said as Miles joined in with Chapa and I.

"Yes, this is their victory dance." My dad lied horribly.

"Which we do on our enemy's graves!" Chapa yelled and I laughed.

"Oh my...." Trent said shocked by our behavior.

Miles started dancing while walking backwards, until he tripped knocking himself and the map down in the process.

Mika gasped and Captain Man shook his head.

"Come on, you knocked over the map." Captain Man angrily complained.

"Oopsie!" Mika exclaimed, getting up from the ground.

She ran over to her twin to make sure he was ok.

"Captain Man, it seems your team is embarrassing it's self once again-" Trent said with a shake of his head and a smile.

I stopped dancing and interrupted him with a icy glare on my face.

We were not an embarrassment, well we kind of were but he shouldn't be saying that to a group of kids.

"You know what, Trent? How about I explain something about Danger Force. We don't play by your rules old man!" I snapped and Captain Man tried to pull me away from the screen.

"I don't see why you had to bring my age into this." Trent said keeping the smile on his face.

I glared and shimmied out of my dad's hold.

"I didn't have to old man but you-" I was cut off by My dad covering my mouth and pushing me towards Chapa.

I stumbled and gave him an offended look.

"How rude!" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Yeah." Chapa agreed, before we continued dancing.

My dad sighed loudly and ran his hands down his face.

"Too hot, Too hot! It's burning my mouth!" Miles cried as he ran around the room.

Bose came up the tube holding a toddler in his arms with a smile.

"I got the toddler!" He exclaimed excitedly and I froze at his words and walked over to him.

"What? You got the toddler?!" My dad asked shocked.

He took off the blue sheet over the toddler's head, revealing an actual toddler.

"Do I get a treat!?" Bose asked excitedly and I laughed, shaking my head.

"That's not the toddler, that's just a toddler." I said smiling at him.

"Do I still get a treat?" Bose asked and I slowly shook my head no.

I turned my head and saw Chapa grab my dad's carton of spicy milk and handed it to Miles.

"No, that's spicy milk!" My dad tried to worn her, but it was to late Miles had already started drinking, but once My dad said that he instantly stopped drinking and spat it out and he started to run around again once he felt the hotness get even worse.

Miles screamed, running away knocking over the map again and Mika ran after him.

Bose, Chapa and I started dancing again while My dad looked like he wanted to disappear.

"It's under control." My dad said looking back at the screen to the confused reporters.

β€”β€”

After the interview fiasco My dad was making us practice fighting in the SW.A.G. classroom. Miles and Bose were working on punching and Chapa, Mika and I were kicking.

Normally it was Chapa and I, Miles and My dad and Mika and Bose but My dad was too angry to train with Miles right now.

He was currently sitting in a chair at the front of the room stuffing chicken nuggets in his mouth.

"Keep it going." My dad mumbled, stuffing a nugget in his mouth. "Put your back into it."

"We've been doing this for to long." Miles groaned, taking off his helmet and throwing it onto the ground.

I nodded and wiped my forehead that was coated in sweat.

I was tired of kicking and having to switch out with either Chapa or Mika over and over again.

I just wanted some ice cream.

"Yeah, how much longer do we have to practice fighting?" Chapa asked as she also took off her helmet, leaving her with helmet hair.

"As long as I say!" My dad huffed out angrily as I walked over and took one of his nuggets.

"I feel like your mad." Bose said and My dad looked over and glared at him.

"I am mad!" He yelled snappily. "You guys embarrassed me on the news."

"Why do we have to practice fighting? We've got superpowers." I said taking another nugget and the others nodded their heads in agreement.

"Yeah, and your super trash at using them." My dad said flatly and we gasped shocked and offended.

"If your trying to offend us, congratulations, sir." Bose said shaking his head with a hurt look on his face.

"You know what Danger Force, let's show this guy what we can do!" Mika exclaimed and we agreed.

"Yeah!"

All of us lined up in front of My dad who looked amused.

"Oh, here it comes." He says setting down his food to watch us.

We tried to use their powers, but it back fired real quick.

Chapa couldn't shoot her lighting bolts.

Bose tried to lift My dad's chair but couldn't.

Miles couldn't teleport.

Mika couldn't scream and I couldn't create any energy orbs.

"There it is everybody, strap in." My dad exclaimed with no enthusiasm in his voice.

"The one time I actually need you to show up!" I said annoyed while looking at both of my hands.

My powers always showed up when I didn't need them to but when I did need them they wanted to be stubborn.

Chapa laughed at my frustration and patted my back getting me
to smile.

β€”β€”

"Stranger approaching."

Everyone immediately started rushing back to their seats, putting away the equipment.

My dad put on a blue blazer and walked over to the door.

"Hey, hi, yes hello, hi, can I help you?" My dad stumbled as he opened the door, revealing a man.

"-These kids are just learning..."

"Oh, what are you learning?" The guy asks and I raised an eyebrow at him.

"Nosy much."

"Stuff..."

"Biology."

"None of your business..."

"Books."

"Who are you?" My dad asks getting to the point and the man shrugged.

"Just a guy." The man said casually.

I narrowed her eyes at the man.

Why would a random guy be so curious?

"Well, what are you doing here?" Ray asks annoyed.

"Just strolling, saw this school thought I'd stroll in and ask some questions." The guy said, about to walk in but My dad pushed him out.

"Woah slow your stroll guy!" My dad exclaimed.

My dad was about to say something else, when the toddler Bose kidnapped ran in holding giant scissors.

"Is that your kid?" The guy ask, making My dad turn towards him in shock.

"Get out of here." My dad said, pushing the guy out again and slamming the door in his face, turning to Bose.

"What is the toddler still doing here?" My dad asked confused as he walked over to Bose. "I thought, I told you to take him back to where you found him!" He adds throwing his pencil on Bose's desk.

"And I thought I told you, I can't remember where I found him." Bose sassily shrugged and My dad stared at him in disbelief and annoyance.

Mika looked up from the screen that was on her desk and shook her head at what she just read online.

"We have a bigger problem than the fact Bose kidnapped a child and gave him giant scissors." Mika butted in.

"I just got a GooGoo alert!" She continued, putting the video on the front board.

"About what?" Miles asked his sister and Mika sighed angrily about the situation.

"The video of Ray's interview went viral, They gave us stupid names!" Mika exclaimed.

"What?" Chapa and I asked together, getting out of our seats and waking towards the front.

"Breaking News! Disastrous interview on KLVY and this time it wasn't Mary's fault!" Trent says.

"That's right Trent, Mary did good, But you know who did bad these kids who ruined an otherwise perfect interview." Mary frowned.

"Once know as Danger Force, these kids are now being called, Oopsie girl, The Wing Wimp, Miss Sassy Pants, Spicy Milk, and Gorgeous hair boy."

All of us groaned at the ridiculous names they were given over one messed up interview.

I laughed a little, I was sassy and she was proud of it.

"When will people stop talking about my gorgeous hair? It's like my eyes are down here people." Bose groaned, shaking his head.

"Well I don't want my name to be Spicy Milk!" Chapa said crossing her arms and I patted her back in comfort.

"I'm taking my name as a compliment." I shrugged, not caring about my name.

But I definitely didn't want it to be my superhero name.

"I object to The Wing Wimp in the strongest possible terms!" Miles said slamming his fist onto his desk.

"Well, have you thought about what you wanted your names to be?" My dad asked glancing at the kids who nodded.

"Yes, I want to be ShoutOut, because once I shout your out." Mika said pointing towards the door and folding her arms.

"And I'm AWOL because just like that I'm gone." Miles explained with a smirk and My dad nodded turning to Chapa.

"I'm Volt, because...." Chapa tried to make electricity form in her hands but nothing happened.

"Okay, hold on."

"Yeah." My dad nodded with a bored look on his face.

"Yeah, and I'm Gorgeous hair boy, Wait no, I'm Brainstorm, because I'm smart." Bose said and everyone paused and stared at him.

That definitely wasn't the reason.

"I want to be Jinx." I said, nodding my head in approval with my name.

"Because if you mess with me I'll leave you on the moon."

"So...what do you think?" Mika asked My dad who sat in a chair, not saying anything.

"I think, those names are pretty swag." My dad said and they all nodded in agreement.

"Well then your in trouble." A voice said making all of us jump in shock.

Everyone turned and saw the guy from earlier standing beside my dad.

"Because if the news says your superhero name three times, that's your superhero name forever." The guy stated, walking closer towards everyone.

Everybody gasped and looked at each other.

Then we definitely had to get our names changed.

"How'd you get in here Guy? Our security system is incredible." My dad asked shocked.

"I know, I built it." The guy said before taking off his mask and revealing himself to be Schwoz.

"Schwoz?" Chapa says as we all looked at Schwoz weirdly.

"Yeah, it's me!" Schwoz says smiling at us and flipping over his name tag to reveal Schwoz.

"I was just pretending to be Guy to make sure you all follow the security protocol." Schwoz says rolling his eyes.

"Well we're you also pretending that if the news said those dumb names three times, they'd become our new superhero names?" Miles asked.

"Oh no, I don't joke about names, only faces." Schwoz laughed.

"Schwoz is right, back before I was was know as Captain Man, I was almost know as 'Angry punch guy'." My dad told them.

"Why would you call yourself that?" Mika asks with a laugh.

"I didn't Trent Overrander did twice, He almost said it a third time." My dad huffed recalling the memory.

"Well what stopped him?" Miles asked

"He got a little visit from 'Angry punch guy'." My dad grinned pulling up a video onto the board.

I groaned, having to watch the video thousands of times already.

My dad smiled and happily started the video.

"Dozens of protesters flooded the streets." Trent spoke, dressed in 80's wear along with Mary. "-but the free speech was thwarted by pro-war activists, and Swellviews newest superhero Angry punch gu-"

Trent was cut off by a punch to the face by none other than Captain Man.

"That's not my name, ya dig." Captain Man's said, walking up to Mary who gasped in shock.

"Now let's disco baby!" Captain Man says, grabbing Mary's hands as music started to play.

The two danced on the screen and My dad starts dancing along with the music and everyone stared at him weirdly.

"How old are you?" Miles asked and Chapa snickered at the offended look on My dad's face.

My dad immediately paused the video.

"If anyone asks me how old I am one more time their gonna get a little visit from angry punch guy." Ray points to all of them. "Who is 3- 30..." He says with a stutter and the kids chuckled.

"Sure." I said earning a glare from my dad but she just innocently smiled at him.

"So how did you get people to start calling you Captain Man?" Mika asked.

"I just got the most popular guy to say my name on the radio." Ray said, smoothly and I snickered.

"Who Elvis?" I joked and everybody laughed minus my dad who narrowed his eyes at her.

Mika laughs.

"The radio? How old are youuu...unicorns, when they get their horns? Oh, I just remembered it's seven." Mika said nervously, as My dad gave her a look.

"So who did you get to say your name on the radio?" Chapa asked.

"Some guy named Coyote Jake." My dad said as he pulled up a recoding.

"Owo! Yeah baby, it's Coyote Jake coming at you! In the studio with me right now is the dude who's fixing high five nixon, Captain Man!" The recording said.

"That's right I hate commies but I love mommies." Ray said in the recording, and him and Coyote Jake started barking and howling at the end.

"Oh my god!" Mika suddenly yelled, turning her head and spotting Ellis.

"Yeah, that happened." My dad smirked thinking she was talking about him.

"No it's Ellis!" Mika exclaimed pointing to the toddler.

Everybody turned around and saw the toddler in Chapa's chair and still holding onto a pair giant scissors.

He pressed the button and flew up to the Man's Nest.

"We should go get him." My dad says after a moment of silence.

"Yeah." I replied slowly.

We all ran to our chairs and pressed the button heading to the Man's Nest.

They got to the Man's Nest and Bose started to chase Ellis to try get him to calm down and also give him the pair of giant scissors.

"Ellis, you shouldn't run with giant scissors! Run with these normal sized ones!"

"We gotta get this kid back to his parents." My dad said and ran a hand through his hair.

"No, were just going to drop him off with complete and random strangers." I said sarcastically with an eye roll and my dad huffed.

"Focus! We gotta get this kid back." Mika exclaimed and Miles nodded.

"After Delilah and I stop Trent and Mary from ever saying those names again." Chapa said and we took out our gum.

"You two better hurry, the two thirty-eight news starts in twelve minutes." Mika warns us.

"It's 2:26 already?" Miles asked pulling out his phone to check the time.

"Time flies when your having fun." I said randomly and everyone stopped and stared at me.

"What?"

"Nothing has been
