Chapter 1: Part 1

Arc 1

Sunstone City

Heroes. Everyone has Heroes in their life. Everyone has those people that they look up to. Everyone has a guardian angel that they call a hero. But what makes a hero a hero? Is it their selfless attitude? Is it their "never give up", "never die" attitude that keeps them going even in the moments of defeat? Or is it the way they fight against evil and always protect those who can't protect themselves? These are some of the questions we ask ourselves every day as we searched for hope in this hopeless world full of crime and full of evil. These were some of the questions that were running through the mind of the African American male who laid in his bed looking out of the window.

It was a sunny morning in Sunstone City. The birds were chirping, the skies were clear and blue and the sun seemed to be rising as it's light peeked through the window of one of Sunstone City's residents. His low-cut black hair on his head could be seen as his eyes stared up at his ceiling with his chocolate brown eyes open staring out of the window at the city.

Sunstone City was his home. The City of Tomorrow or The City with a Future as it was dubbed by one of Sunstone City's top 1-percenters, Miles Maverick. Sunstone was located in Delaware across from Sin City. The Delaware bay was what separated the two. Sunstone City was a huge city with a 1,196 square mile radius with a population of nearly 3 million people. The City had several sports teams in Basketball, Football, Hockey, and Baseball. It was the home of Maverick Industries and the home to FATE Labs. And it was gonna be home to Maverick's brand new, Fusion Reactor.

The Fusion Reactor was Miles Maverick's newest creation. It was supposed to be the key to the future or at least that's what Miles Maverick told many of his employees including Cedric Harvey. Cedric sighed as he rose up from his queen size bed while keeping his eyes out on his view. He turned his head and looked around the surroundings of his studio apartment. He got up with a sigh as his alarm went off.

'Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!' Cedric sighed as he quickly pressed down on the button making it beep one more time for confirmation.

"Ah shit, here we go again." Cedric said as he walked to the closet.

(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)

Cedric stood in his bathroom shirtless wearing his blue jeans with his "Wheat" timbs. He was currently brushing his teeth while humming his "Ain't It A Sin" by Charles Bradley. He heard a knock at his door making him spit his toothpaste out and rinse his mouth before grabbing a towel to wipe his mouth while he walked to the door. He opened the door to see his best friend, Kalani Rose standing there. Kalani was a 5 '4, female with a caramel-like colored skin tone walking through the doorway. She had an angelic face roundish shaped face with dark brown eyes. She had somewhat light black eyebrows that seemed to be shaped with a soft arch. She had an athletic build to add to her stature. She had long black straight hair with lips that had a natural color to them. She had a beauty mark on her right cheek and she had a tattoo sleeve of roses on her left wrist. On her right wrist, she also had her grandmother's name, Elise on her wrist.

"I wonder if you always open your door shirtless for women." She said as she looked up from her phone looking him up and down at his built physique. She walked past him and entered his home.

"Sure Kala, you can come in." He said to himself as he closed the door while she walked over and took a seat on his couch. She put her phone down on the table and looked around.

"Wow, look at that you finally cleaned the place." She said as she looked around the apartment. Cedric chuckled as he walked towards his closet to grab a shirt.

"And once again, you're wearing Timbs. Do you have anything else in that closet aside from Timbs?"

"Hey, you like your Black Eyed Peas t-shirts. I like my Timbs."

"With the number of timbs you have, you would think we were in New York."

"Sometimes, I wish I was in New York. It might be far away enough to get away from Miles Maverick. That guy practically runs this city."

"And it could have been you if you listened to me and started that company you always wanted."

"HarveyTech. Nah, the world doesn't need my ideas."

"You see this is why guys like Miles Maverick are on top because they act on their ideas. You don't and you need to. Just saying." Kala said as Cedric had put on his white v-neck while she got up and walked towards the door.

"Just saying. Need to be worried about the coffee."

"I work at the coffee shop in case you didn't know smartass."

"Shut up. Midget." He said as he walked out of the door. Kala rolled her eyes and shook her head as she locked the door and followed behind him.

(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)

After a nearly 30-minute drive from Cedric's home, they parked in the parking lot of one of the Maverick Industries labs. He sighed as he placed his hand on the door handle and prepared to open it but Kala had said something stopping him in the process.

"Hey." She said. He turned towards her looking at her with a questioning frown.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I just wanted to give you this. You left this in my apartment last night." She said as she pulled out a necklace with a black string. The necklace pendant had a silver 8 point star necklace pendant with a blue crystal in the center.

Ced looked at it and sighed. It was the last thing that his father had left for him before he had gone away. He frowned and looked away as the memories started to run through his head.

-Flashback-

"Daddy are you coming back?" asked a 3-year-old African American boy with jet black hair in the form of an afro with black eyebrows and brown eyes. Standing next to his father. He had a chocolate-colored skin tone and had a bald head with a black goatee. He wore black jeans and black boots with a black t-shirt and a black hoodie. He had a backpack on his back. He kneeled down in front of his boy with a smile full of hope. He placed his hand on his cheek and looked him in the eyes as tears started to form in his eyes.

"I will Tiger. And I will make sure that I can come back to you and take you home. But for now you're gonna stay with your mother and she goes to take care of you until daddy gets back." His father, Koya said as she nodded along.

"I want to give you this. My father gave me this before he died. And I want you to keep it warm for me until I get back. Daddy loves you." He said as he took off a silver 8 point star necklace pendant with a blue crystal in the center hanging by a thread. His father then hugged him while tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.

"I love you too daddy." The boy said to his father. Koya looked up at Kimberly who was crying silently. Koya then stood up and smiled at his boy once more before he walked to the door while they watched. He opened the door and almost walked out but he looked back once again. He smiled and then turned around and waved goodbye at his son.

-Flashback Ends-

"Look I know you don't like talking about him but if you need to. I'm here." Kala said.

"I know. But I don't need to think about him right now. I need to focus. I got to go in here and work on building this Fusion Reactor."

"On the bright side, you're making $35 an hour."

"Yeah, I guess that's something bright. I'll see you soon. I'm gonna stop by the shop on my break."

"Alright." She said as he got out of the car and walked to the building with a frown.

(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)

Cedric stood in the lab with a tablet in his hand while he looked at the video feed showing the Fusion Reactor. The Maverick Industries building was the home of the Fusion Reactor. The crew had been building the reactor for at least 9 months but this wasn't Ced's first project for Maverick Industries but this was the first one that he would be allowed to work in the lab for once. He was usually working on the construction unit but now he had moved on up and now he could use his brain for once instead of his brawns.

"Mr. Harvey, might I remind you that we do have a dress code if you're gonna work in the lab." said Cedric's supervisor, Dr. Alyssa Hart. Cedric looked up at Alyssa. She had to be at least 5'6 with tanned skin with black hair that seemed to have a red undertone with blue eyes. She stood among some of the other lab workers who were typing away on computers and some running some chemical tests.

"And might I remind you, Dr. Hart, that I do bounce back and forth between doing construction and the lab. Maybe if you could find someone else who has the attention of detail that I have on that crew then we'll be fine. No offense but those guys don't care if the copper wires get tangled up while they're placing the titanium alloy instead of an aluminum alloy. As long as the job gets done and they get paid. I'm trying to make sure this thing works."

"Good idea on the aluminum alloy, by the way, it's not as strong but it's more conductible. We're adding steel to reinforce it but anyway, I brought you here because of your brain and hopes that you would somewhat mature not just intellectually but physically. In terms of fashion, I mean."

"It's okay Doc. I know what you mean." Cedric chuckled.

"The last thing we need is Mr. Maverick coming in and doubting my job." It seemed like it was almost on cue as the Billionaire CEO of Maverick Industries, Miles Maverick walked into his lab. He was 6'0 tall with a lean muscular build. He had flawless brown skin with black spiky hair with black eyebrows and brown eyes. He was sporting an expensive suit like always with expensive Italian leather dress shoes.

"Speak of the devil." Cedric said in a hushed tone as all the workers in the lab including Ced stood up to see their boss with his two security guards.

"Ah Dr. Hart, it's nice to see you." Miles said as he shook hands with Dr. Hart, who offered him a smile. The Billionaire went around the room shaking hands until he met up with Cedric who gave a smirk and looked him up and down.

"What is a construction worker doing in my lab?" Miles said while he stared Ced in his eyes. Ced looked at Miles with a frown on his face while Cedric's hands clenched up into a fist.

"Actually this construction worker is one of my lab workers. He's just recently made the transition to the lab and hasn't had the time to adjust and change to a more lab appropriate behavior yet. This is the guy the reason that our expected finish is 6 months earlier than expected." Dr. Hart defended as she looked at Cedric with a frown.

"We were actually finishing up on the reactor." Cedric spoke.

"And I'm guessing your man I should be thanking." Miles said as he offered Cedric a handshake. Cedric unclenched his fist and gave Miles a firm handshake.

"No problem sir."

"Well, I'm actually glad you people finished earlier. I think a celebration is in order. Tonight I will be hosting a gala here to celebrate the release of the new Fusion Reactor. And you're all invited. Including you." Miles said as he didn't take his eyes off Cedric.

"I'm in." Cedric nodded while Miles patted him on the shoulder. As Miles walked away, Cedric looked at his shoulder with disdain while Dr. Hart followed Miles.

"I can't stand that egomaniac." He said under his breath while he walked the "Rich Bastard" as he liked to call him walk away. Cedric walked back to his workspace and took a seat with a frown.

(!)-(!)-(!)-(!)

Cedric walked into one of his favorites places, Cup O'Joe. It was the best coffee shop in Sunstone City. And it was the place that his best friend just so happened to be working at. He looked around looking for her before his eyes set to her working at one of the espresso machines with her back to him and to the customers. He walked towards the counter and leaned up against it.

"The quickest way to a man's heart is coffee. Or to my heart is coffee." He joked as she turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"I thought it was food."

"Well, it can be both. Hey, How about the usual?"

"A Iced Cocoa Cloud Macchiato with 2 Cinnamon Cronuts."

"Ah, you know me so well."

I know that you're a fat ass."

"You know if it weren't so true, I would be insulted." Cedric said to Kala as she rolled her eyes and began to make his coffee. He turned his head and looked at Kala's coworker, Angelina Davis. She was a 5'2 Hispanic woman with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Hey, Ang."

"Hey, Ced."

"How ya been today?"

"Good, it would be better if you weren't here giving me more work than usual." She winked as Cedric walked away from her chuckling. He walked to his usual table in the corner and took a seat pulling out his phone to check a few things. A few things like the messages from his mom from earlier today usually checking up on him like always.

After a few minutes passed, Kala walked towards him with a plate and coffee cup.

"I hope you're hungry. I gave you 3 instead of 2."

"Damn girl, you trying to spoil me."

"My mom always said the closest way to a man's heart is through his stomach and in your words the closest thing to your heart is coffee. So there's both."

"I'm glad you know me so well."

"I should. We've been friends for about 16 years."

"Since kindergarten."

"And I kind of noticed that when you walked in here, that you were clenching your fist and you don't do that unless you're frustrated or angry. What's wrong?"

"I'm kind of frustrated. I got to go to a rich people party."

"And you're complaining about going? You're so entitled."

"Hey, I'm not entitled. It's just that I somewhat despise my boss and now I have to go to a part for this bastard. And I don't want to go. But if I go then I'm the bad guy and he'll know that I dislike him which could get me fired."

"And if you go?"

"Then I have to deal with his ass."

"You know maybe he's not so bad. If you take your head out of your own ass."

"Hey I-" Cedric in the middle of saying when a lady ran into the store with tears in her eyes. She looked around in fear looking at the damn-near empty store looking for someone to help her.

"Can someone help me?" Cedric stood up and walked towards her looking to help her as everyone else just stared at her looking for something to say.

"Hey, What's going on?" Cedric asked

"I need some help! I locked my keys into my car and my baby's stuck in there! I don't know what to do!" The lady said as Cedric frowned.

"What car?"

"The grey Corolla." As soon as she answered, Cedric bolted out of the door and looked around for the car seeing that it was only a few feet away from the door. He ran towards the Corolla as Kala and the lady both walked out and stood out in front of the store. Cedric looked into the car to see the baby crying in a carseat on the backseat. He then walked to the driver side of the car and elbowed the car window putting a crack in it before he tried again making it break. He reached into the car and unlocked the car before he walked around to the backseat and opened the back door and grabbed the crying baby out of the carseat. His mother ran towards Cedric with tears in her eyes. She grabbed her baby from Cedric while he smiled. He then looked at his elbow seeing the cuts he got from the window on his elbow. He cursed as he placed a hand over his elbow while Kala walked towards him. He looked up at Kala and then looked around at the group of people that started to surround him.

From a distance, a black limo had witnessed the event that had just taken place outside of Cup O' the limo was the billionaire, Miles Maverick who looked on with his shades on. He chuckled as he stared at Cedric.

"It seems that this construction worker has a hero complex. Expected from an idiot. I'm done here. I need to be taken back to my office, I have more information to know about our friend. Jon, take me to the office."

"Right away sir." Miles' driver responded before he cranked up the limo and proceeded to drive off while Miles stared Cedric down while he drove away. Little did Miles know, he wasn't the only man staring Cedric down as there was another man who stood on a rooftop watching as Cedric was being praised for his brave actions. The man had caramel colored skin with a black beard on his chin with a black low cut fade on his head. The man appeared to be in his mid 40s and stood at nearly 6'4. He wore blue jeans with black boots with a black leather jacket with a grey hoodie with the hood on his head.
