Thunder: Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Bonnie set down the pan of bacon and began giving each other portions. She sat down and looked at Lance. “So are you going to wear that rag from now on?”


Lance finished chewing his bacon. He had already hurt Bonnie emotionally. The last thing he wanted to do was to not use manners in front of her. “Of course not,” he said, finishing his last bite, “Im going to make a suit.”

“A costume?” She said.

“Well yes,” he said.

“Well I guess we can get material and fix you up one.”

Katie set her fork down, and wiped her face with her paper towel. “Well Bonnie, its going to need to be state of the art. If you want Lance, I’ll start working on the blueprints.”

He smiled and said, “That would be great.” They both then went back to their breakfast. But Bonnie was not yet finished.

“Well before we do anything, we have to know what your going to be. What is it, Batboy or Spiderwonder?”

“Well not exactly,” he said.

Katie decided to ask a question herself. Clearly this had been bothering her as well. “Well do you have an idea of what you want to be?”

He sat there for a moment, looking at his nearly empty plate. All sorts of ideas had been racing through him. But he knew the one thing that would be perfect for him. “When I beat all of those guys down at the docks, I looked into the sky, and I saw a lightning strike. And I knew right then and there that it meant something. I think that it would be perfect.”

“Why do you think that?” Katie said.

“Because people fear lightning. If I could dress like someone like that, I could show them that im truly a vicious person. And that’s the type of thing that I need.”

“So you want to be called Lightning?” Bonnie questioned.

Lance and Katie looked at eachother. “Nah,” they both said.

Lance took the lead, “Yeah, that’s way to corny. Besides, the after math of the lightning is way more scary.”

Bonnie looked at Katie and she soon realized what he was talking about. “Thunder,” she said.

“Yep,” he said. They all gained a grin on their face, and Lance started to eat the remains of his breakfast.
