Call me Nature | Henry Danger ✅

New superhero... or sidekick, whatever [6]

Three streets later I was completely lost. But literally, I didn't have the slightest idea where to go next, even if I climbed onto a quite high building. It's not that the city was that big - only my poor mapping skills showed themselves unable to detect my position. Again. Sigh.

That's why I decided to visit a small store nearby, hoping to get some help from the owner or the employees. After I had landed on the ground, I pulled back Una and Jade and approached the homey looking junk store.

Opening the door I walked in, hoping that there won't be crowd in there. Fortunately, literally no one was there but me. "Uhm hey, sorry for disturbing, I just..."

That was the minute when I glanced Henry with a man - maybe in the same age as my mom - walking out from a back room with heavy-looking boxes in their hands. It was so strange to see him as Nature within less than 4 metres from each other that I bit my lip while waiting for his answer.

The boy put down the box from his hands onto the floor and turned to face me with a surprised expression, just like the older man's face looked like. "Oh, uhm... Can we help you?"

"I was searching the Swellview Park to meet Captain Man and Kid Danger for a meeting but I successfully lost in the streets. Could you tell me where can I find it?" I asked my classmate with a begging expression. I didn't want to be late. But I couldn't help but notice the guy beside Henry staring at me night and day. It was kinda scary to be honest.

My classmate almost immediately answered, walking toward me and leaving the strange man where he had been. The boy took out his phone from a pocket of his jeans, unlocked it and began tapping the screen, opening Swellview Park on the map app. "Yeah, sure... You're right there and the park is here. Just go through these streets and you'll see the huge trees of the park"

"Oh okay, thank you and sorry for disturbing" I replied, quickly grabbing the door handle to leave the two men doing what they had started. "Thanks again and bye"

I didn't wait for their answer, just simply exited the store, aimed Una at a street light and launched myself toward the park, following the intructions Henry had told me. It was still so strange to see him in my Nature-form. And the guy beside him, staring at me... Weird.

~•~

Arriving to the park I made my way toward a huge oak with thick and beautifully green foliage around its branches. Until the two arrives, at least I can check out the flora of my new home. After all, I will live here now on.

As I reached a stable part of the tree I sat down, my back against its trunk. With my right hand I carefully touched the cortex of the aged oak, gently stroking it and whispering in a soft voice while waiting for Cap and Kid to arrive. "Hey there, Mr Oak... I feel that the citizens take care about you heartily. Though, you could tolerate some more nutrients" I declared, taking out some dust of mixed nutrients. I got up and jumped down, bending down to the roots of the tree. I scattered the brown dust, then dropped some from my flask filled with extra strong water that I made by myself. "There you go. Enjoy"

"Yeah, I could enjoy it all day" I heard a sound from behind. Being startled by the sudden statement, I jerked up, making a 180° turn.

I glimpsed Kid Danger staring at me together with Captain Man by his side. My previously solid expression turned into a much angrier and more annoyed one with narrowed eyes. The boy's expression told everything. "Stop staring at my butt!"

"Sorry, I couldn't help but take a look at it" shrugged Kid his shoulders along with a cocky smile.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Captain instead. As our eyes met, the laughing froze onto his face. He wetted his throat and quickly brought up with an excuse. "I didn't stare it, I swear.. I'm not perverse you know"
