The Slime (Comic 3)
The day after finding out about his wife being pregnant, he thought and thought and thought...
I have powers he thought, let's use them... but what about his job? His wife? His unborn child?
His job will get neglected after everything he worked for
His wife could become a widow
His child could become fatherless
He was so wrapped up in this he hadn't realized that he had somehow gone through a whole work day and made it home for supper.
His wife and him sat for dinner, meatloaf night, it was his turn to cook, he loved it alongside his wife.
"So... have you had any thought that you're going to be a father?" She asked hopefully.
He looked at her, her eyes twinkling, glowing skin, pretty blonde hair, she was perfect. Of course he was ready.
"Yes, I'm ready to be a father and your husband for the rest of our lives." He gets up and hugs and kisses her.
They get up kissing and head to the bedroom, not caring about dinner.
The next morning he woke up and his wife looked at him, he was glowing green like that very night.
"Hun I can explain!" He said, trying not to freak her out.
Luckily she just sat there and looked at him listening, he could tell that she was trying not to scream.
"That night when I got home wearing that jump suit, I wasn't entirely truthful..."
He could see her tense up a little bit.
"The people we lost that night, their adult children, chased me into the factory in which I fell over the railing into toxic slime in that weapons factory for the military. Now I've been gifted with abilities, and I'm afraid our child may get the genes..." he said.
She looked at him and passed out on the bed. Thank god she hadn't gotten out of bed he thought.
A few hours later...
He watched her wake up, by then his skin had gone back to normal. She freaked and sat up
"How is this possible!? Dirk you could do great things besides the Fire Department! I mean God gave you these abilities to do great things."
He looked at her, that answered some of his questions, would she have been supportive? Apparently she was, even wanting him to do more like he thought.
"What about the fire department? I can't just leave that, Our baby? You're not even slightly scared if they will get my powers?" He sat there worried.
She spoke up.
"Honey we will figure it out with the Fire Department, this stays between us, as for the baby, if they get your powers it was meant to be."
He was blown away, at first she didn't handle it well, but gradually took it well.
"But where do we start though?" Dirk asked
"Do you think I'm chopped liver? I can sew, I'll get leather and spandex and in the meantime you will be training and learning your powers, I am not having you die and as well for our child, and it will be some time before I get the suit done" Janice said.
Over the next two weeks Dirk had trained, but couldn't quite learn all his powers. He really only learned he could see in the dark and shoot the acid slime. He figured he didn't have any other powers. But he still kept on training so hard that it wore him out each night he got home, on top of work at the firestation.
