"It's a boy! And a healthy one at that!"
An old caucasian doctor said as he handed a newborn baby to its mother. The mother had tears of joy coming down her face and onto the baby. With a little wail, the baby cried back to its mother before stopping after not too long.
"Aww, isn't he just adorable!!"
One nurse said aloud.
"He is! He has his mother's eyes and hair too it seems!"
Another nurse responded. The mother sat there caressing her baby, kissing it and calling him her beautiful baby boy.
"Mom, did you have a name in mind?" The doctor who helped deliver the baby said as he moved towards the corner of the room, picking up a clipboard and waiting for her answer.
"Hmmm…" She said as she patted the baby on its back.
Her name was Nora. Nora Hancock. Married to John Hancock, America's previous number-one Superhero. She was 25 years old and had a quirk that allowed her minor weather manipulation. With it, she became known as [•Azure Hurricane•], the Weather Manipulator Superhero.
With her quirk, she was able to become the number eleventh hero in the United States of America. Her life was perfect as she had a supportive family and an amazing husband to boot. Her life couldn't have been any better….
Until that day just a few months ago.
"I decided to give him his father's name. John. John Hancock."
Everyone in the room smiled and nodded at the name. It was a symbol for a lot of people and maybe hearing that name again in the future is what the world would need.
"Then it's settled. Welcome to Earth, John Hancock."
The doctor wrote the name down and exited the room. The mother looked down at the baby and kissed him on the forehead before saying,
"You'll do wonder things. We just know you will."
She then looked out the window and stared out into the stars. More tears began falling down her face as she realized that although she lost her husband, he left behind a part of him in her that she could love and cherish forever until the day she was dead.

2:20 pm.
The school day was over for me. School didn't officially end until 3:35 pm but with only four classes instead of five, I was able to get out early.
I threw my bookbag in the backseat of my car, closed the door then got into the car. I turned it on, put on some music and left school. On the way home I stopped by my favorite food spot and got something to eat on.
I ordered the food to go and went home to eat it. When I got home, my dad was in his room sleeping and snoring without a care in the world. I didn't care too much about his laziness as he worked hard and deserved to relax.
I left him a piece of the food in the fridge and texted him saying where it was. I went upstairs to my room, got into something comfortable and started doing my homework.
It took me until 4 to complete it which left me with the whole afternoon to do whatever I wanted. I decided to play the game, GTA, to be exact. Driving around in story mode for some reason never gets boring to me.
After gaming for an hour, I decided to get off and just watch a movie. I told his Alexa to select a random movie and she did.
Hancock.
One of Wills's best movies in my opinion. Top five even if it means it's in fifth place. The emotion, the storytelling, the idea itself of a drunk and confused hero was just perfect to me for some reason.
That'd be sick.
To have his powers. I mean, he's pretty broken, his only weakness is his people and if you think about it, he could just go to another world and be God.
Maybe in another life.
Just as I was saying that I began to feel warm and tingly inside. I then looked at the bones of the hot wings from the gas station that I bought earlier.
I cursed at them as I held my chest, wheezed and…..
