4 Long days ahead

[Do you wish to analyze or activate the abilities?]

What!?

Aaron was dumbstruck. The notification was completely unexpected to him. He stood there shocked, both hands still on both of his brothers hair. Ivan and Chris were confused as well as they saw that their older brother had an extremely shocked expression on his face.

"Aaron, are you okay?", Ivan asked worriedly. Truth be told, Ivan and Chris didn't really hate their older brother, as despite how he looked, he was actually pretty reliable in general. The only reason why they messed around with their older brother was because he had a very passive personality in general, similar to their mother.

"Hmm?"

I guess I made my expression too obvious huh . I better play it off as nothing important for now.

"Oh, don't worry little bro, I was just surprised because it felt like there was a bug in your hair", Aaron said, as if it were no big deal.

Suddenly Ivan's eyes widened as he took a few steps backward, out of brother's reach, trying to find any small bug in his hair, all while having a terrified expression on his face.

Ivan continued to look through his hair for a few seconds longer before noticing that his brother was chuckling.

"You ass!", Ivan said, but since the words came out of a nine year old boy's mouth, Aaron laughed even harder.

"Oh god, your reaction was priceless!", Aaron said after having laughed for a straight minute.

Ivan frowned, but was somewhat relieved that his brother was okay.

"I just don't want anything to happen before you pay us back is all", Ivan said while shrugging.

"Haha, don't worry, I'll make it up to you both tomorrow, even if it costs me my life", Aaron said flippantly.

After having gone through that ordeal, Aaron and his brothers continued on the way home, but Aaron was still concerned as to what the notification meant

Thirty minutes after picking up his brothers, he finally left them at their house and headed for his friends house.

Hmmm. I better ask the system about what that notification meant. System, why did you say that my little brothers had abilities? I thought they weren't supposed to appear until later on.

[Everyone on planet Earth has the potential to unlock an ability, however, only a few will actually unlock them. Your brothers are clear examples of this. However, since you are the source of the abnormality in your universe, that system has unlocked a feature which allows you to fully unlock someone's abilities which also allows you to get a brief but good description of their abilities. However, to do so you must have physical contact with the person]

Huh, this system just keeps up surprising doesn't it. Still though, it's a bit concerning that my brothers can get superpowers. I'd prefer to unlock my brothers powers so that they can at least have a means in which they they can protect themselves from other super-powered people. Just because superhero's are popular in the U.S doesn't mean everyone will become heroes, humans aren't so altruistic, what if some criminal or lunatic gets powers? I can't watch over my little brothers all the time. But I'm not sure how much the world is going to be affected by having new super-powered people appear out of nowhere. Hmmm, wait a second... I might have a solution!

System, is it possible to transfer someone into my {Realm} in order to train?

[Yes, however, anyone in your {Realm} will age normally while in there]

Wait hold on, what do you mean by "age normally", do I not age inside my {Realm}?

[No, the system ensures that your body does not age while you stay inside your {Realm}. You will stay at the same age as when you entered until you leave the {Realm}.However, those who enter will continue to age at a normal rate unless you create a stasis domain generator]

What's that?

[It essentially creates an area in which organisms do not age by replenishing the telomeres of organisms. Essentially keeping someone in a state of youth until they leave the area]

Can I make it?

[No, you require at least a month to create it, and you currently lack the knowledge to understand how to create it]

Damn, looks like my plan to give my brothers a place to practice their possible powers will have to be put on hold for now.

Regardless, I'll just worry about this tomorrow. I always follow my motto after all. Leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow me.

Aaron continued to have stupid thoughts before arriving at his friends house. He continued to walk until he reached the front door and then rung the doorbell.

*Ding-Dong*

"Hello, Aria, you in there?"

...

...

...

No answer? That's strange-

Before even finishing my thought however, the door opened abruptly and two hands appeared and pulled me inside

Once inside I could see a that there was a mess all around me. In the living room, kitchen, and somehow Aria even managed to make a mess in the decorative chandelier above my head 8 feet above the ground. Then a girl two years older than me spoke

"Aaron I need you to help me! I lost my costume, I need you to help me find it before 10:00 o'clock", the girl said hurriedly.

"Aria, calm down, what's the hurry?". Aria was extremely passionate about her hobbies, after all, she was the person who introduced me to manga and anime stuff. Before I died, she was very well liked in school and we regularly talked. One day she convinced me to go exercise with her which allowed me to be fit in the future. Aria was Italian and had light, slightly tan, skin. She was considered to be one of the more attractive girls in my High school. One thing to mention however...was that she never got over weeb stuff. She wouldn't mention it at school, but she would drag me over to her house to watch the newest series or play some video games. I never minded though, since she was still a very good friend, regardless of her hobbies. Currently she should be around thirteen years old at this time period, and she seems to be pretty fit just like in the future.

"What's the hurry?!?! The hurry is that it's already 4:00 and we are an hour away from the convention! Not only that, but I've been looking for my costume for the past two hours!!" Aria exclaimed, clearly very distraught.

"Alright alright, sheesh, no need to get mad at me for that, I'll help you find it",Aaron said calmly. "Besides, we still have 6 hours left until the convention is over"

Aria seemed to finally calm down and then proceeded to start looking for her costume again, all while making her already huge mess bigger. Aaron looked at the mess with a confused expression on his face and just shook his head.

If it weren't for the fact that she's obsessed with this stuff, she could probably pass as a normal girl. But regardless, I better find and give the costume to Aria. Hmm, if I remember correctly, she left it in her family's car so she wouldn't forget to take it. A bit ironic if you ask me though, given the situation.

"Oh uh, Aria, did you check your parents car yet?", Aaron asked.

Aria stopped searching for her costume after hearing Aaron's words, stood up, pondered for a moment, then wildly ran towards the front door and headed for her parent's car, seemingly having remembered that she left it there.

Aaron just stood there, dumbfounded.

"I have never, in my entire life, seen someone run that fast towards anything..."
