The life of a regular human being was fragile… I had crushed the robber's palm with such ease, it almost felt like I was smashing an egg – blood and flesh stuck to my palm as the Robber's cries of pain attracted the Civilians nearby.
I grabbed onto his shoulder, shooting into the air shortly after and heading in the direction of the Local police station… the feeling of how fragile the Robber's body was… it stuck to me.
I noticed some officers right outside the station and soon hovered above them, dropping the wailing criminal in their arms.
"He tried to rob a Supermarket," I said… now that I think about it, this wasn't as grand as stopping a guy that blew up a bank but it had to be done.
The Officers nodded and caught him, although the broken palm caught their attention but they quickly took him into the station… A single officer remained though, looking up at me.
"Sir, what do we call you?" She asked… she freaking asked for my Superhero name.
I stammered a bit, I didn't have one thought out yet. There were a lot of names I could use but there was the fear of Copyright, who knew if someone had used the name before?
"I'm Supreme," I finally said, my voice thick and full of confidence while I shot into the air, vanishing from her sight.
"Supreme, huh? My Instagram account is definitely gaining more followers with this one," She muttered under her breath while turning over to an officer at the corner who held a phone in his hand, recording the whole thing.

"I'm Supreme," A Hero donned in black clothes said before shooting into the sky, the air rippling in his wake…
My face was red in embarrassment, I hadn't expected this to be in Instagram already… Just how many people were filming me at the station?
Madison stopped playing the video right as she got to her locker, she quickly pushed in the code and her locker opened.
"Don't you think that was cool?" Madison asked.
I looked at the blonde in front of me with dry lips, unsure of what to say – if there was one word to describe this young woman then it would be extremely beautiful. She was a little bit tall, well above average with shoulder-length wavy blond hair and deep blue eyes, her figure was slim and curvy and her School uniform – it only accentuated her curves…
Madison was well my best friend right from childhood, and she had been very worried when I was kidnapped.
"Y-yeah, I guess," I said, "Though it could use some work,"
"Whatever you say Peter," Madison said while bringing out a soda from her locker and shutting it closed, "That was really cool – I'd like to meet that hero, Supreme,"
I inputed my locker combination and pulled out a bunch of textbooks, I had a lot to catch up on for the week I missed and Madison made sure to remind me of it.
"Why would he want to meet you?" I asked with a shrug.
Madison gasped and playfully elbowed me on the ribs although she was surprised about something shortly after.
"Fuck, why does it feel like I hit a wall?" Madison asked and I smiled in return.
"Been working out," I said but Madison snapped at me.
"Don't try to change the topic, why wouldn't Supreme want to meet me? I'm a damn hottie," Madison said and I rolled my eyes.
"At least you're being honest about it," I said with a sly smile and Madison gritted her teeth.
"Hey guys," A Brown-haired hottie said while walking toward us… I looked into her eyes, something seemed familiar about them but he couldn't wrap his fingers around it.
"Hey Eve," Madison said, immediately letting go of me and walking over to her friend – it immediately snapped… everything snapped into place, those eyes… they had been the ones of the person that saved us from the bomb.
"Atom Eve," I mumbled absent-mindedly while looking at Eve, her facial expression changed almost instantly – morphing into one of surprise as she looked into my eyes, it seemed she recognized me as well.
"Peter, what'd you say?" Madison asked while turning to me but Eve breezed past her, holding my arm.
Eve turned to Madison and gave a polite smile.
"I want to talk to Peter for a bit," Eve said and without waiting for a reply, she dragged me away.

We stood on the roof area of the high school and Eve glared at me.
"H-how did you?" Eve couldn't even begin to comprehend it, she didn't know how to act in this situation, "What do you want?"
"To thank you," I said with a genuine smile, "You're the reason I'm still alive and breathing today, you turned that bomb into a screwdriver and I've been grateful ever since,"
Something still surprises me even now… Maybe it's because Heroes were popular but the "I'm Supreme" clip at the station already had 30k likes. Maybe I should open an Instagram account with my Hero name, one day, it might look like Omni-Man's Instagram… hopefully…
Eve's eyes changed from confusion to warmth.
"You're welcome, all in a day's work," Eve said, "Although I'm still surprised you managed to find out,"
I took a seat on a bench on the top and motioned for her to come over.
"It's not really hard," I said, "Not only are those eyes beautiful but Eve is well, it's a giveaway,"
Eve sat down next to me and stretched.
"I have a boyfriend," Eve said and I chuckled – who gave a shit? Dating worked in many complex ways…
"Not every compliment to you is made by a man who wants you as his girlfriend," I shot back while leaning against the bench, "But I got to say, he's a lucky guy,"
"Lucky eh?" Eve asked.
"Of course," I replied, "Who doesn't want a girl who can create anything?"
Eve smiled brightly and I moved onto the main reason we were still on the roof.
"Eve, I have powers," I said with a distant smile.
