Chapter 7: New super hero (part 2)

Hello folks. Hope you enjoy the chap!
... No TWs tho. It's just George making his costume. Also pls do the conversion by yourself. I don't really want to.

You'll see what I am talking about later.

George's POV
Today, it was Friday and I was pretty excited and tired at the same time. I still thought of the event of yesterday though. A part of me was still scared scared, thinking that it's dangerous and I could lose everything. But another part told me that a lot of people needed help and that I've the opportunity to do so. Plus I didn't give up on the idea of becoming a superhero, I quite liked it. I'll find a way to handle everything at a time.

I was now at school hanging out with Skeppy. We were talking about video games when I zoned out. I was thinking of my costume, of course all heroes.... Well most of them... Need a costume, right? It would be blue with some white part. Some blue spider webs on it too. I'll finish my emotion-showing goggles and add them to the costume. I'll need is some cloth.

I would also need to learn how to fight. I need to be stronger. And then I could- "GEORGE!" Skeppy yelled. Gathering the attention of some students, who looked away after a few instants. "Are you even listening to me?" He asked, giving me a concerned look as I shook my head.

"I-I'm sorry. It's just I'm really tired and there were a lot of homework lately." I tried to reassure him. He didn't look really convinced but still nodded. "Then you're lucky gogy. We don't any homework for the week-end." He smiled and I mirrored it, before continuing our discussion.

~Time skip~
It was the end of the day. I said my goodbye to Skeppy as he went onto his car and drove away. Although he had proposed to drop me, I refused politely and said I liked to walk. The apartment wasn't too far anyway.

As I was walking, I dumped onto someone. I looked up and was about to apologize to the person. But stopped myself when I saw who it was. Clay. I froze, slowly trembling in fear. I may have my super powers now, I was still afraid of him. He lifted his hand, probably to hit me. I instinctively put my arms over my face in fear.

But he didn't do anything. Which confused me. I slowly moved my arms and looked at him. He looked sorry? As if he wanted to apologize but still didn't want to talk about it. He just walked away without saying a world.

I went back to the apartment. Trying to not think about what happened.

I was at the apartment, working on my homework then my goggles. I was fixing the glasses and programming the icons. After at least 25 minutes of working, I finished it. My special goggles.

I decided to test it, so I put it on. I turned it on and walked to the mirror. I was amazed. There were an oval circle, glowing on each glass. I winked and one of the ovals turned into a comparing symbol. I was overjoyed. Then I made a confused face and the ovals turned into question marks. I made an angry face and the circles turned into angry eyes. It was the same with a sad face : sad face = sad eyes.

I sighed in satisfaction and took them off, turning them off. I put them on my night stand. It was 8:22 pm and Grigory wasn't home yet. So I took some money from my savings and headed out of the apartment to buy some cloths I would need for my costume. The cloth shop was open 24/24 so it was a problem for me to go there at this hour.

The sky was dark with shiny stars sprayed on it. It was beautiful.

Then I arrived to the cloth shop. As I entered in, I was welcomed by a 1m91 (6'3") man. He looked around 45 year old, had black hair with a small amount of grey, blue eyes and quite tanned skin, similar to Skeppy's. He wore a blue cardigan with black trousers under a white apron. "Good evening young lad. What can I do for ya?" He greeted.

"Good evening, mister. I would like some cloth please." I greeted back and he nodded with a charming smile. He asked me what kind of cloth I wanted. I replied with "I would like some cloth that doesn't rip off easily. Something resistant and flexible."

He hummed. "That kind of cloth is sort of expensive. 1m cost around 50.00£." He explained. "But I could make a discount for you" he smiled with sympathy. "No, you can't do that. It will be a loss for you since it's an expensive type of cloth. I'll pay full price.... But is it okay if I pay little by little?" He looked surprised at my response. I didn't know why.

He smiled and said "If that's what you want. How long would it be? And what color?". I told him I wanted 3m with royal blue and 3m with white snow.

After a few minutes, he got the cloths packed for me in two bags. "It will be 300.00£" he said. I only had 120.00£ on me, so I gave it to him, saying I would pay the rest later. He smiled once again and told me to take all the time I needed to pay.

I was really thankful. He was nice. I looked at the time and said I had to go, it was very late already.

Then I got back to the apartment. Grigory wasn't there yet and it was already 9:10 pm. I was getting worried by now. I decided to wait for him by making dinner.

After a few minutes, I heard the door open. I looked over to see and it was Grigory. He looked tired... No exhausted. I felt bad. Worry started to form up my spine. "Welcome home... Are you okay, Grigs?" I asked him but he didn't respond. He just nodded and lay on the couch. "Do you want dinner?" I looked at him, even more worried. He shook his head and closed his eyes.

"Are you sure?" I shook his shoulder a little. He didn't respond. He seemed asleep. His breathing was going slowly. I blow on his eye lid and it didn't bulge. He really was asleep. What did he do to be this exhausted? I put a blanket on top of him. I sighed, I guess I have the whole dinner to myself then.

After eating dinner, I went to my bedroom. I was now making my costume. I took my sewing kit and my sewing machine. It took me the entire night to make it. But it was worth it.

That was all for today
