บท 7: Chapter Seven(7)
"Okay, time for school. Maybe you'll make some new friends today," Mom said, taking my empty plate.
"I have a friend. Matthew is a human being, you know."
"I know, but just one? Who has only one friend?"
"Introverts like me. One or two is enough. Three is a crowd."
"Why are you so determined to be an introvert?"
"Nothing special… I just prefer peace and quiet."
"That's sweet, honey, but you still need friends. Now, we'll continue this later—the bus is here." She grabbed my arm and led me outside.
Waving goodbye, I ran to the bus and spotted my only friend, Matthew, sitting alone, excitedly waiting for me. He wasn't a weirdo or bullied—just like me, known but not too noticeable. Truthfully, though, I befriended him because of his name: Matthew Malloy.
Any Marvel fan following Quora or Facebook groups knows him. In the comics, he's Marvel's most powerful reality warper—so strong that the only way to stop him was preventing his parents from ever meeting. I wasn't sure if my Matthew was the Matthew Malloy, but if he was, I had a plan. I'd invent an X-Gene detector, confirm his powers, and transfer them to myself if necessary. Sounds cruel? Maybe. But the X-Men erased him from reality instead of helping. This would be a better fate.
"What's up, bro?" I greeted, shaking his hand before sitting beside him.
"I'm fine," he muttered, looking exhausted.
"You look like you haven't slept in months. What happened?"
"Nothing serious. Do you have any updates on that comic you gave me last week?" he asked, giving me puppy-dog eyes.
"Yeah, but I'm not giving it to you until you sleep," I teased, already knowing what kept him up.
As part of my plan to introduce anime and manga to this world, I recreated Dragon Ball and distributed it in school. Judging by Matthew's reaction, it was a hit. This week, I planned to hit them with Naruto—some emotional damage to balance out the mindless Dragon Ball action.
For now, everything was hand-drawn, but soon, I'd have enough money for proper equipment and start publishing. There wasn't even a digital platform for comics here… another money-making opportunity. By year's end, I'd release Dragon Ball Z through Super, making sure the power levels actually made sense.
"Please! You can't leave me hanging! Does Goku gather all the Dragon Balls or not?!" Matthew begged.
