Max woke up that morning and found that Allison wasn't in bed. He slowly walked downstairs and found her sitting in the living room and she was talking to someone on the phone. He hid behind the stairs to hear what she was saying.
"Aunt Jen, really, Max is an amazing guy. You have nothing to worry about. I know that my parents told you that he was a Super Hero and we had been through a lot, but everything is going to be just fine. Yeah, Im excited to see you too. Yes, Raegan is the sweetest thing, I have no doubt that your going to love her. Aunt Jen I'm in homeschooling. No I'm not going back to public school! Aunt Jen, Im really tired of this conversation, Max and I are getting married, I'm not moving back home with Raegan, im not taking Max's daughter away from him, and I am definitely not going to put my relationship with both my child and my fiancé in jeopardy for anyone, not even you. I know Aaron and Jadda want me to move back home, but I don't want me to move back home, but IM staying." Allison let out a sigh of frustration. "Well then maybe you just shouldn't come to the wedding. Half of the family already isn't going to come because im not even 18 and I have a child and Im getting married! FINE! Don't come!" Allison snapped as tears filled her eyes. "I only need my mom and dad there anyways. All of you guys are acting like Max isn't good enough when you know very well that Max protected Hiddenville and Metroburg with his life and you know what Max's morals are because of the press conferences. NO Aunt Jen Don't uninvited the whole family and," Allison paused. "Aunt jen? Aunt Jen? AUNT JEN!?" Allison threw her phone on the ground and Max came out of the shadows and she saw him.
"How long have you been standing there?" Allison asked with no energy.
"Long enough." Max replied as tears filled HIS eyes. "Allison, why didn't you tell me that your family was basically shunning you because of me?"
"Because it wouldn't make a difference. I love you and there's nothing they can say or do that will make me change the way I feel about you." Allison replied as she walked over to him and put her arms around his waist.
"Well I could at least go to your family and try to get them to like and understand me better. Allison it's not fair that you're only going to have your mom and dad at our wedding. Babe this wedding is for you." Max sighed.
"Well, my entire family is getting together tonight to have a dinner. We have one every year. That's why I was talking to my Aunt Jen. She invited me and Raegan, and said if you show up you better be ready to get a million questions from everyone. Max my family is NOT happy with our relationship at all. Their biggest anger is within the fact that our family has been on tv so much. They don't like that and they have heard soo many rumors about you and your family and they don't want me OR Raegan living with you guys, but Raegan needs you guys, and Max, I need YOU." Allison sighed.
"Ok, I'll go tonight, but I don't want Raegan to leave our side." Max agreed and Allison nodded and hugged him….
Max, Allison, and Raegan walked into her parents house and Garry and Debbie greeted them.
"Max I have been doing my best to talk you up with everyone and clear up as many false rumors as possible. But our family is full of a lot of stubborn people. One of them was the parent of one of the children who was at that rescue the other day. The one where the three heroes died and that father is angrier at you than anybody. All I can do is wish you luck." Garry sighed and Max walked into the living room where there was about twelve different adults, and twenty different kids from 15 years old and lower.
"Everyone, I would like you to meet Max!" Allison announced and everyone looked up at once and they all had different faces. Some were slightly angry, others were curious and two were happy. The kids didn't pay much attention though. Allison was holding Raegan in her arms as four fully grown men walked over to Max.
"Hey, Its Max right? Come on out back, lets talk for a bit." One of the guys said. They looked like they were about two to four years older than Max, and one looked like he was about the same age as Max.
"Guys, go easy on him." Allison said worriedly and Max and the four guys walked outside in the backyard and then Max turned around and found five more men who had followed. "GUYS DON'T YOU DARE HURT HIM!" Allison shouted.
"Chill Ally, we aren't going to hurt him, at least not physically!" A loud female voice came from behind several men and then she walked over to Max.
"Aunt Jen, I mean it! Don't hurt him!" Allison shouted from behind all of the men. Aunt Jen stood in front of Max and crossed her arms.
"Ok, so Max, we have all gathered a bunch of questions for you, and I am going to ask them." Aunt Jen sighed. "Think you can handle that?"
"I guess it kinda depends on the question, but I SHOULD be able to handle it." Max answered.
"Nice answer. Now, you are in fact Thunder Man, correct?" Aunt Jen asked.
"Well, I'm not the original Thunder Man, but I have been called Thunder Man. So yes." Max replied.
"Alright, well please explain WHY you left Metroburg to become the President of Super heroes?" Aunt Jen continued.
"Because I didn't really have much of a choice and protecting Metroburg was my sisters dream, not mine." Max answered. "So I gave her a shot and she didn't do too bad."
"Next Question, why have you let my great niece stay around your family when your family has treated you like dirt?" Aunt Jen asked this and Max found it difficult to answer.
"I Uh, I um," Max wasn't fast enough for Jen.
"You clearly don't even know whats best for yourself if you allow your family to continue to manipulate you, and you allowed three heroes to die in front of about a hundred people, and you didn't even really apologize for it, and you act like your being such a great hero but you abandoned your city for fame, so why should we even allow you to care for Raegan OR our Allison?!" Jen snapped and Max snapped back at her.
"YOU DON'T KNOW! YOU HAVENT BEEN THERE! ALL YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN ON TV! My family has been one of the best families on the face of the planet within the last few months! They have realized what they have been doing wrong and they have been supportive this whole time, and I think your forgetting that they also gave Raegan somewhere to stay when your family refused to allow us to stay! You should get your facts straight before you start insulting the very man who is doing everything in his power to not only protect his fiancé and daughter, but also the whole united states of America! I wasn't brought aware of the three heroes or the problem in Metroburg until the hero league had sent those three heroes and the heroes failed! The second I found out about it I flew strait to Metroburg and took care of it and during that whole time my sister was in the hospital because the villain league tried to kill me and got her instead, and so when I fought I was mentally unstable and didn't even give the villains a chance to surrender, but in my defense after a villain has murdered three heroes in cold blood, they don't really deserve to get the chance to surrender! And I DO know what is best for myself, granted I sometimes don't see when I'm pushing myself too far, but I do know what's best for me! Raegan and Allison are my entire world, and if it weren't for my family, Allison and Raegan probably wouldn't be in my life! SO get your facts strait before you go accusing me of things that I didn't do! All of you are judging me without even TRYING to understand me so I have to ask you, do you even care what Allison wants?! Allison and I love each other more than anything and we would never let anyone hurt Raegan! So why don't you guys try giving an effort to get to know me because you might just be surprised with the man you're going to see. Now I'm fine with answering your questions but if you're going to treat me with disrespect then you can forget about your questions." Max snapped and everyone was silent for a moment. Suddenly everyone started whispering to each other.
"EXCUSE ME!" Allison shouted and everyone turned to her. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" Everyone gave her a path and she walked over to Max and handed Raegan to him.
"Listen guys!" Garry's voice came out from behind everyone and everyone turned to him. "When I saw Max, I thought the same thing you did, he DOES look like an elf, but then I realized that he gave Allison the same stare that I gave Deb when I fell in love with her. He may be tiny, but to be honest I think he could take any one of you. Hes a tiny little fighter, but hes also a mighty little fighter, and I have seen him fight for Allison AND Raegan. YOU guys have no idea how much this kid has been through, and I can guarantee that if you give him a chance, he will fight for every single one of you as well. As much as I hate admitting it, he kind of saved mine and Deb's lives too. If you ever need a favor you can ask him. Now it doesn't mean he will be able to do it, but he will try. Please, just give Max a chance. Now if he messes up, you guys can kill him after I kill him, but give him a chance."
"But if you kill him then WE cant kill him." One of the men shouted.
"Actually, I think he is some type of cat because the kid seems to have 9 lives or something. Every time he was supposed to die he just came right back. SO if he dies, he'll come back and then you guys can kill him." Garry said and Max let out a laugh and everyone nodded. Max looked up to Garry.
"Thanks Garry." Max sighed…
That night Max went to Phoebes hospital room alone. Link was there but he was asleep. Phoebe saw Max and raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, its after visiting hours, how did you get in?" Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe, please, I'm the super president of the United States of America. I can get in anywhere I want." Max added. "I'm the one who got Link permission to stay the night here. Now I understand how Super President Kickbutt seemed to know everything about everyone all the time. I've taken care of about fifty different types of cases, including one that I wanted to talk to you about." Max sighed as he sat down and Phoebe looked to him wondering what it was. "So I was talking with the Hero League about your circumstances, and they agreed with me when I told them what I decided to do. Phoebe, you are now the leader of the Hero Placement Program." Max said as he handed her a name tag and it had her name in the official lettering. Phoebe held it and smiled widely and then looked up at him.
"You mean, im not just a member, I'm the leader?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, because the leader has two jobs, one is to go through the worst of the cases and the other is to be the high council member for the hero league. You'll be helping me control my case load, but there are in fact two requirements sadly. You would have to give up school and move into my lair so you could have your own office space so you could work from home." Max replied and Phoebe thought about it.
"You mean, you're really going to let me work from home?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, I think Nora is going to need a hero for advice and also if you were to move out, Nora, Billy, and Chloe would be devastated. We are having your office space built in a section of my lair and it will have a certain code to get in." Max explained and Phoebe smiled at him.
"You're the best twin brother anyone could ask for, you do realize that right?" Phoebe asked.
"And you're the best twin sister anyone could ever ask for." Max added and then Phoebe looked towards the ground. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah im fine." Phoebe lied.
"Pheebs, somethings clearly wrong." Max replied to her lie.
"It's nothing Max." Phoebe sighed.
"Phoebe, talk to me." Max wasn't giving up on it that quick.
"Its just, I'm not sure if im up to that kind of a role Max. I don't think I have the strength to be able to help make decisions that influence that many people." Phoebe sighed and Max slightly smiled.
"Pheebs, your going to be just fine." Max reassured her.
"Hey, whats going on?" Link yawned as he woke up and Max turned to him.
"AND YOU. You forget to email me all of those files for the Dark Mayhem case so I had to go gather every single one of them on my own because I couldn't get into your computer." Max said in frustration.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I kind of forgot." Link said awkwardly as he avoided eye contact.
"Yeah you forget pretty much everything. Seriously what DO you do?" Max couldn't help but wonder.
"I uh, well, you know that woman who was manipulating you and stuff? Yeah, she kinda made sure that I was kept busy so that you couldn't do your job right." Link replied.
"LINK! Why didn't you TELL me!?" Max snapped.
"Well, I was just like you, I couldn't even SEE that she was manipulating me until you told me what she was doing." Link defended himself.
"Fine Link, but if you don't start performing better im going to have to suspend you from your job." Max added in and there was a moment of silence.
"So you and Allison are getting married in a week. Do you guys have everything ready?" Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, we have everything taken care of. We just finished getting it all taken care of about a week ago, why?" Max asked tiredly.
"You don't seem very excited." Link answered as he raised an eyebrow.
"You had to help me take care of all of those things, you know how much money its costed. The Hero League was kind enough to pay for the wedding but I still feel like its not really ok to spend soo much on one day. Seriously Phoebe what is it with weddings that makes girls forget about how much is in their bank accounts and their families bank accounts?" Max asked.
"Well, the truth is that most girls kind of dream about their wedding since they ever heard of what a wedding WAS. It's really the most important day in our entire lives to us. Well at least most of us feel that way." Phoebe explained. "Max you were even excited about it in the beginning."
"Yeah, but then I started adding up how much it costed. Allisons dress alone was like $14,000 and the bridesmaid gowns and tuxedos were another $8,000. The decorations were like $3000, and the cake was around $800. Everything else plus those things added up to around $28,500. It's ridiculous. You could buy a car for that amount." Max sighed.
"The real question IS, how much would you pay for Allison to marry you?" Link assumed.
"Well how much would you pay for me Link?" Phoebe snapped.
"Definitely no more than $15,000. Anything past that is ridiculous." Link sighed and Phoebe looked slightly frustrated.
"Your lucky that the wedding I have planned would only cost about $10,000 maximum." Phoebe sighed.
"I would give anything so that Allison and I could be together forever. I'm not paying for her, shes priceless, it's literally impossible." Max answered and Phoebe smiled as she looked like she was going to cry.
"Oh listen to you, expressing your feelings, being a good husband to be, acting so mature and stuff. I'm so proud to be your sister." Phoebe said as she grinned from ear to ear and Max looked at her and couldn't help but smile.
"Max I kind of cant believe your going to be married in a week." Link sighed. "You know, it feels like it was just yesterday when I was trying to act like a villain just to get to relate to you for Pheebs."
"I know, it feels like just yesterday when I started to date Allison." Max sighed and then he thought about it for a second. "You know I just realized something." Max said and he turned to Phoebe. "I never thanked you for getting me to go out with Allison. Allison and Raegan are pretty much the source of all the joy in my life and you're the one who basically created it."
"Well, even though I had false intensions, your welcome." Phoebe sighed.
"Alright, well, I have to go home. I'll see you guys later." Max said and then he left….
The days went by so fast that Max couldn't even figure out where they went.
It was the day of the wedding and Max walked up the stairs and found all of the guys waiting for Max.
"Hey, you guys are here early." Max sighed and everyone looked up in concern.
"Max its 3 o clock in the afternoon. Are you ok man? Your dad tried to wake you up like six times." Oyster said as he stood up.
"Where is my dad?" Max asked.
"Hes helping your mom out with the wedding. We have still been getting it ready. Allison doesn't know that you were kinda unresponsive for six hours and.." Oyster stopped and he saw that Max looked confused.
"But my phone says its only 6 AM." Max said and he picked up his phone again and looked at it and it said 3 o clock. "That's weird, five seconds ago I looked at my phone and it was 6." Max sighed.
"Maybe I can explain that for you." Max turned to see where the voice came from and he saw standing there.
" , I thought you were in jail." Max sighed.
"Oh I escaped this morning Max and I gotta admit I didn't expect you to wake up so soon, given the fact that I drained you of your energy Max. What are you gonna do about it?" said as he pointed some type of device at him.
" I am begging you please, don't do this. You have betrayed me just as much as I have betrayed you. Please, this day isn't about me, its about Allison. If you want to fight me, please just save it for a different day. Colloso if you remember anything that you and I went through, Please just don't do it today. Im begging you." Max said and Colloso dropped the device to his side and looked shocked.
"Your not going to report me to the Hero League?" Colloso asked.
"Colloso the last thing I want is for you to be in jail, and im kind of the Super President. So Im really reporting to myself in that case. But im not going to arrest you, just leave. I would let you in my wedding, but Allisons still upset with you." Max said and just looked at the ground and then he turned around and left. Max turned to Gideon, Woofgang, Link, Oyster, and Billy. Oyster grabbed his phone as it rang.
"Yeah, hes fine. No hes not sick, he just," Oyster started and Max whispered.
"Don't say anything about it. I'll talk to them about it later. Tell him im fine." Max said and Oyster just handed him the phone.
"Hey dad, I'm fine. We'll talk about it later. Yeah, see you soon. I KNOW. I have twenty minutes. I'll get done I promise. I'll see you soon." Max said and then he hung up and handed the phone to Oyster and ran off…..
Allisons father was pacing back and forth and Hank rushed over to him.
"He's ok, and hes getting ready and should be here on time." Hank sighed.
"OH thank God. I didn't think it was really like him to run." Garry sighed.
"I know. Neither did i. Luckily hes fine." Hank added.
"Ok, we can breathe now." Garry added as well.
"Yep." Hank nodded as the two of them stood there and found it hard to breath.
"Why cant you breath?" Garry asked.
"Because my son is getting married. How about you?" Hank replied.
"My baby is getting married." Garry answered the same way.
"Good we're on the same page. That's a great start to us becoming official family members." Hank gasped. Suddenly Phoebe walked out and she looked to hank worried. "hes ok. Hes gonna be here soon."
"Then why are you guys still freaking out?" Phoebe asked in confusion.
"We're not freaking out, we" Garry started and Barb and Debbie came out and saw them and looked concerned and spoke at the same time as quietly as possible.
"Is Max still asleep?" They both said and they looked at eachother and then back at their husbands.
"No hes on his way here." Hank replied.
"Then why are you freaking out Hank?" Barb wondered.
"WE'RE NOT FREAKING OUT!" Garry and Hank shouted at the same time and then they looked to each other and the sound of the doors opening came to everyone's ears and Max and the guys walked in.
"Hey, everything ready?" Max asked and suddenly a woman ran over to him.
"OH THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE! COME ON!" The woman dragged Max into the next room where there were about 120 people sitting, waiting for the wedding to start and Max was dragged strait to the front of the crowd. "You only have five minutes before we are supposed to start. I took the liberty of bringing you your cards for the vows you wrote. Go over them and get ready." The woman said and then she started placing the boys beside Max. Then she ran out of the room and was gone. Max read through the cards and then gave Oyster the cards.
"Do something with those please." Max sighed and Oyster saw a trash can and walked over and threw the cards in the trash and then walked back. Max just starting thinking about things. Suddenly a lot of things came to his mind and he was starting to get a little overwhelmed with the reality that things were going to be a lot different. Allison would soon be Allison Thunderman and he would be married and they would officially be a family and everything was about to change and he wasn't sure that he could handle it all at once.
"Dude your sweating and you look like your about to pass out. Are you ok?" Oyster asked and then music started playing and Max couldn't really answer and Max just found that he couldn't look up as a thousand things went through his mind. Suddenly he felt a tug on his shoulder and he looked to his left and saw Phoebe.
"Max are you ok?" Phoebe asked. "Whats going on with you?"
"Nothing. I, um," Max stuttered and then everyone stood and Max saw everyone look towards the doorway at the end of the isle and he couldn't help but look and then he saw Allison and all of the thoughts stopped. Max found himself falling deeper in love with her by the second. He didn't care about anything but the fact that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
"Nothings wrong Phoebe." Max sighed and then Allison was in front of him and he saw her father kiss her on the cheek and move away her veil and then he sat down in the front row. Max smiled widely at her and then she looked at him in confusion.
"Hey wheres Raegan? I let her sleep in with you." Allison revealed and Max looked worried to death and he started looking around.
"Hold on, RAEGAN?!" Max yelled out to the crowd and there was no answer and just as max realized that Colloso must have taken her the door in the front opened and walked in with a tux and he was holding Raegan and Raegan was in her dress and he walked down the isle and handed her to Max and Max picked her up and looked at Colloso.
"Sorry I tried to mess things up for you buddy. But I couldn't let you get married without letting you know, I'm happy for you. There was a whole plot to ruin this day for you and take your daughter and just ruin everything but those villains are, well, I just led them strait into the jail cell that they belong in. I made an agreement with the hero league and Im just letting you know that Im sorry for the problems I have caused and I wanted to say congratulations. I'll just go now." said and then he started walking away and Max looked to Allison for her conformation and she slightly smiled and nodded .
"Colloso wait." Max said and turned back to them. "We have 1 too many bridesmaids anyways. You can walked with Raegan." Max sighed as he motioned to the line and Colloso grinned from ear to ear with genuine happiness and then he went to his place in line and Max looked to Raegan. "You ok?"
"Yeah, they didn't stand no chance against my fierceness." Raegan said as she held up her fists and Max smiled and put her down and she went to her place amongst the Bridesmaids and then Max turned to Allison and then to the priest.
"Lets do this." Max sighed…
Everyone stood there as they waited to hear the vows that max and Allison had written for eachother. Max was first.
"Allison, you and I met at school and to be quite honest we hated eachothers guts." Max started and everyone cracked up. "We talked for the first time and you insulted me by calling me a child and I still didn't like you." Allison tried to look angry but kept on smiling. "And it wasn't until my sister tricked the both of us that I realized that you and I would still probably not like eachother but we could at least try teaming up to put her in her place." Phoebe looked slightly embarrassed. "And then I screwed up and you actually told me what you thought about me. You were brutally honest and I found out that two people who could seem like they were from two completely different worlds, could actually be more similar than anything in both worlds combined." Allison got teary eyed. "Allison, you were always honest with me, and you believed in me and loved me when no one else did. You," Max got a shaky voice s his eyes filled with tears. "you changed my world completely and it sounds cheesy but you changed everything for the better. That's the truth. You gave me the most beautiful daughter on the face of the planet and you gave me a reason to want to live and fight everything that came my way. When I was in the hospital dying, you were the one who saved me without you even realizing it. You are my rock, you are everything to me, and It would make me the happiest most grateful man alive, if you would marry me today." Max finished and Allison let the tears fall down her face and at that second Max let the tears fall down his face.
"You were honest, so I am going to throw my whole vow out because first of all, I have the feeling you did the same, and secondly you just made me original speech sound weak, and I was not raised to be a whimp." Allison said strongly and Max grinned from ear to ear as he let out a laugh. "Max, when I first met you, the first thing I thought was that you were the most childish, terrible, selfish person I had ever met, and I thought you only cared about yourself, you AND your sister, only Phoebe was really good at hiding it, and you didn't even care enough to try to hide it." Max looked slightly sad as he thought about his old self. "Don't do that, you insulted me too." Allison snapped at Max as she lightly smacked him in the face and everyone was silent and Max let out several laughs and everyone else let out laughs as well. "That's better. But then, I went out on a date with you and quite literally you made my opinion of you turn from being slightly bad to me thinking that you were absolutely insane Maximus Thunderman." Allison said and Max tried to be upset but couldn't help but smile. "But after I told you the truth about how I felt about you, I thought you were going to make me feel awful, or just be rude and hurt my feelings, but you didn't, the first thing you said was kind of confusing. I told you how my parents felt that I was going through I phase with wanting to save the world and you told me that it wasn't a phase and then I chewed you out about how you and Phoebe made me sick because I thought that you and phoebe didn't care about who you hurt because you always get what you want and I thought you were going to get upset and deny it, and I would get to fight with you to a battle to the deaths so that I could show people that selfishness was not a way to act, and that it shouldn't be tolerated. Sure it was a little crazy, and then I realized how wrong I was about you when you admitted that I was right and then you apologized and when I told you that it was too late you said that we couldn't give up and I realized that you were a better person than I thought and I asked you why you cared, and you said that you understood how I felt about going through a phase when the phase was never a phase. Max, you being a villain, it wasn't a phase. You were just so confused with how your family treated you, and how your sister was always better than you that you didn't know what to do, and I am so happy that I helped you realize the truth and I want to help you for the rest of my life. We've been through so much together and I want to go through so much more, as a family. SO Max, it would make me so happy if you would marry me today." Allison finished and Max closed his eyes as tears fell down his fade and he opened them and smiled at Allison and then the priest spoke.
"Do you Max, take Allison to be your wife through sickness and in health til death do you part?" The priest asked.
"I do." Max said as he slid the ring on Allisons finger.
"And do you Allison take Max to be your husband through sickness and in health til death do you part?" The priest added.
"I do." Allison replied as she slid the ring on Max's finger.
"Then with the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Max, you may kiss your bride." The priest said and Max pulled Allison in gently and kissed her and everyone clapped as they parted the priest spoke again.
"Will all of you stand?" The priest said and everyone did. "I proudly present to you Maximus and Allison Thunderman." Max picked Allison up and carried her out the door proudly…..
