Chapter 2: Phone Call.
Chapter 2: Phone Call.
''I am going now,'' Jack said with a loving smile towards the beautiful middle-aged woman in front of him.
Jack has medium-length black hair, grey eyes, and an attractive face. If you look closely at his body, you can see it is athletic, but not muscular. He has soft-looking skin while his smile could charm anyone around him.
The woman in front of him had beautiful long black hair, oval-shaped face with rose-colored lips. She has above average sized breasts, but what was different from the usual body was her belly being slightly bigger, she wasn't fat, instead it was something else...
''Alright, honey.'' She said with a loving smile and kissed him on the lips.
Jack smiled, he crouched and the belly of the woman was in front of his face.
He touched it gently. ''Behave, your mommy has been grumpy the last few days.''
She rolled her eyes while looking at her husband. ''You are going to be such a spoiling father.''
''Of course, I am going to spoil her, she is going to be my lovely daughter after all,'' Jack smirked, he stood up and connected his lips with his wife Sophia.
''Be safe - Villains have been appearing more lately,'' Sophia said with worry.
''I will be alright.'' Jack smiled, he walked towards the door and opened it gently.
''Lock the door,'' Jack said and exited the house.
Sophia gently smiled and locked the door.
''Your daddy will be back soon, don't worry,'' Sophia said while gently rubbing her belly.
After Jack exited through the door, he started walking in the streets, heading to the work.
The sky above him was bright blue, while the sun was shining, showing his might.
During his walk, he saw many people showing off their powers, some of them flew using their powers, some of them moved in superspeed, and some simply walked like ordinary humans.
Like Jack.
He used to be very jealous of the people who had cool powers, which they can show off to their friends.
But he doesn't care anymore.
He is 27 years old and he is mature enough to know that becoming a superhero is a dream, he can't fulfill in this lifetime.
But he doesn't care.
He has a beautiful wife, who is his everything and they are about to have their first child.
He couldn't be happier.
...But he was still human, and he of course dreamed about having a power, which would let him protect his family.
Instead, his wife is the one who protects the family.
It sounds pathetic, but there is nothing he can do about it.
His wife Sophia has B-Rank ability, that ability allows her to manipulate sound waves.
She could become anything she wants with her ability.
Even Superhero if she desires.
But two years ago, she met Jack, and they both fell in love.
Rest is history...
Her family of course opposed the marriage.
Telling that marrying trash like him tarnishes their reputation.
That was the last day Sophia was in contact with her family.
She chose Jack over her family.
The amount of guilt Jack felt had was immense.
But Sophia didn't regret a thing.
Still doesn't.
Every day, the past two years, has been the happiest she has ever been.
And she hopes that it would last for eternity.
Jack knows the sacrifices she has made for him.
She would probably be rich, with countless admirers if she became Superhero.
But instead, she wanted to be with him.
Jack's love for her has reached a height, which shouldn't be possible.
And he would do anything for her.
While walking in the streets, he decided to check his Interface, even though nothing has changed...
[Name: Jack Wrathelm]
[Age: 27]
[Superpower: Anger Sense]
[Rank: E ]
[Description: Anger Sense allows you to feel the Anger Meters around you. You can sense why is the person angry and towards who the anger is directed]
Jack sighed and closed the Interface.
'Anger Sense... What a pointless ability.' Jack thought while he kept walking in the streets.
Half an hour later, Jack arrived in the shabby-looking building with the words CamFix on top of the building.
Jack was a Camera Repair Technician.
This is the only job he was hired for.
He tried many different jobs, but knowing his useless ability, no one wanted him.
Especially since hiring someone with actually good ability is much better, more effective.
The ones with Physical Superpowers are very popular because they can do almost any job which needs some heavy lifting.
Jack walked inside the shabby-looking building.
He looked at the elevator which had the words [Not working] on top of it.
Jack sighed and walked towards the stairs instead.
The building was only 3 floors in height, and their office was located on the top floor.
He arrived on the third floor and opened the door.
Instantly smell of dust and cigarette assaulted his nostrils.
''Ugh.'' Jack grimaced, but still walked inside.
''Jack! You are late!'' He heard a loud yell, he sighed and looked at the angry-looking man.
The angry-looking man was around 150cm with a huge belly.
'Fucking midget.' Jack thought in his mind, he put on a fake smile and said. ''Boss, but I am not late, look.''
Jack said and pointed towards the clock which shows 8:55 AM.
''The clock is broken! It's over 9 AM!'' He roared angrily.
Jack took his phone and it showed 8.55 AM as well, he just gritted his teeth in anger and put his phone back in the pocket.
He has learned that arguing with this goblin is useless.
''Get back to work! Otherwise, you don't get paid this month!'' The angry-looking midget roared and stomped back towards his office.
''Cunt.'' Jack muttered, he walked to his office table and sat down.
The company has only around 5 workers, not counting the midget.
Jack sighed as he saw him being the only one arriving on time.
But he is also the only one who gets yelled at.
He had a broken-looking camera in front of him, and he knows that it is basically impossible to fix, but he gets less payment if he can't fix it.
Jack with hate started working with the camera, even though it was a useless attempt.
Half an hour later, the rest of the workers came.
''Hahaha!'' With loud laughter, a delinquent-looking individual came with his ears pierced and face filled with tattoos, he was holding the waist of an older-looking female, who had big breasts, a big ass, and a face filled with heavy makeup.
''Sorry for being late, boss.'' The delinquent-looking individual said while grinning towards the midget.
''Haha, I don't mind'' The midget laughed with the delinquent-looking individual.
Jack clenched his fist but ignored them shortly afterward.
After the delinquent and the female.
Two other individuals came not long after.
The first one had a black-colored outfit with emo-looking makeup on his face, he simply sat down on the chair and started napping shortly afterward.
After him, an annoyed-looking female with messy bed hair walked inside the room and sat down on the couch.
While Jack was working, trying to fix the camera.
Others either slept.
Or started making out.
Like the delinquent and the female with heavy makeup.
Only sloppy kissing noises came from their corner.
'Fuck this job.' Jack cursed in his mind.
But he needs this job to feed his wife and future daughter.
Sophia is currently on holiday because her birth date is approaching, that's why Jack is the only one who can bring any money.
And Sophia's job isn't enough to feed them after their daughter is born into this world.
And her job isn't even that great, even with her B-Rank ability, it was the closest job she could get.
She was a waitress in an ordinary family restaurant, the pay wasn't that great but the owners of the restaurant were very kind towards her.
She enjoyed being there, and their house was also not far from the restaurant.
''Fuck.'' Jack cursed after the camera started cracking.
[Anger Meter: 11%]
He saw his own Anger Meter and he only sighed.
The highest Anger Meter he got was 24% and he felt like killing the person who caused it.
He can't even imagine what would happen if the Anger Meter reaches 100%.
Will he die out of anger?
Or he will do anything to kill the person who made him that angry.
He doesn't know.
And he doesn't want to know.
''Jack!'' Jack gritted his teeth after hearing the angry midget's annoying voice.
He turned his face and put on a fake smile. ''Yes, boss?''
''You got a phone call!'' He roared.
Jack raised an eyebrow and saw a phone ringing in the corridor.
He scratched his head and walked towards the phone.
*Clank*
''Hello, Is this Jack Wrathelm?'' He heard a stoic-sounding face.
''Yes, that's me, who is this?''
''I am Police Officer Dantley, we are currently outside of your apartment and I am sorry to inform you, but Villains appeared here and your house was destroyed in process...''
Jack's heart sank, his heart rate started racing. ''What about my wife?! Is she alright?''
*Sigh*
He heard a sigh, and then the voice said. ''I am sorry, but the Villains killed your wife before the heroes managed to come and stop them.''
Jack dropped the phone.
*Crack*
The phone was destroyed in impact after it fell to the ground.
''JACK! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!'' The angry-looking midget roared and stomped out of the office.
''LOOK WHAT YOU DID!'' He angrily shouted while pointing towards Jack.
But Jack's face was currently pointing towards the wall in front of him, his eyes looked empty... like a black void.
''ANSWER ME, YOU FUCKER!'' The midget roared.
''Shut up...'' Jack muttered.
''WHAT DID YOU SAY?'' The midget roared, he couldn't hear his words but he couldn't care, he was unleashing his pent-up rage towards Jack.
''I said...'' Jack muttered and looked towards the midget with empty-looking eyes.
''SHUT THE FUCK UP!'' Jack roared, which caused the midget to fall to the ground on his butt.
Everyone in the office looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Jack started walking out of the office with dead-looking eyes.
[Anger Meter: 55%]
