A/n: Some clever title play, eh? Anyway, I think it's about time we did an update for this story. Sorry guys, I honestly got burnt out, I haven't been out, nor have I seen any friends for a while. And to make things worse, my internet is still not working so I've been using data.

So I'm slow on the update but rest assured, I ain't forgetting to write.

Present Time

Y/n was feasting on his gobstoppers as he and friends rode in a cab, heading towards the hospital where his mother was being cared for. The explosion that happened last year, the one where Y/n had a school outing to a power plant–

(Who plans these?)

Had made the student's parents go into comas as well as changing young Y/n's life forever.

Y/n: Hm, I think this one's grape.

Tony: Mine's orange.

Melanie: *laughing* I already finished mine off.

Tony: *laughs* Like how Y/n finished off those dumb goons?

Y/n: Hey now, they weren't dumb, just misguided is all. Well... except maybe the one who thought that he wouldn't trigger his allergies if he ate gummy oranges instead of the real thing.

Last time in the present timeline, Y/n had defeated four simpletons who had thought that robbing a Hershey's would be getting them to villain status.

They also made the cab stop by a flower shop to buy some for their visit at the hospital. Y/n bought marigolds.

Tony: Hehe yeah, say, the nightvision helped out right? We need to add just a tiny bit more adjustments to the suit and you'll be unstoppable, Y/n!

Suddenly, Y/n lunged and slapped a hand to Tony's mouth. Tony had a face of surprise and almost yelped, Y/n did not explain but instead gave him a shushing gesture.

Y/n: *whisper* Follow my lead.

Y/n: Ahaha! Yeah the suit for... prom! Yep! Can't wait for prom!

Melanie: Same here! Hahaha!

Tony: Gee, I sure wish I could get myself a date, it would be embarrassing if I showed up all alone! Hahaha!

Mel and Y/n shot each other a look that said, "Too much? Yeah too much." Tony looked at them, deadpan and offended.

Y/n looked to the cab driver but he didn't even seem to be listening to the three teens. Y/n visibly relaxed before turning back to Tony.

Tony: *whisper* Sorry. I got too excited.

Y/n: Dude. You gotta be more careful.

Melanie: I made the suit but even I could stop myself from gloating.

Tony: *throws hands up* Alright, I get the message!

The three share a hearty laugh as they rode in the cab for a while, because it ain't a true New York experience if you don't wait for hours on end for traffic to eventually clear up.

.....

Y/n: Here you go sir, *gives credit card*

Cab driver: Thanks kid, is this wonna' dose unli-funds thingys? I'm kinda jealous of yous youngin's.

Y/n: Trust me, what we went through to get these ain't worth it.

The cab driver had a card reader since most teens whose parents were in a coma had the golden card. It became a kind of new normal. Y/n's class wasn't the only group who were there during the explosion.
