Outside the team's van, a shadow is leaned up against the side, a young man attempting to listen to the conversation. He gets a little nervous as he hears footsteps in the near distance, but regains his composure as a figure simply passes by.
“Close one-”
"Let's get your son," is yelled from inside of the van as one of the back doors fly open, knocking the young man to the ground. His glasses fly off revealing his reptile like eyes. From the back of the van, Tobias steps out, shutting it behind him. Noticing the boy on the ground, no more than fourteen years of age, he quickly helps him to his feet.
“Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to-“
“Don’t worry about it!” the kid said excitedly.
“One thing, what were you doing that close to the van?”
“Well-“ the boy began, “I was sorta listening to your secret meeting.”
“At least your honest about it, heh”
“I am just like you guys, watch!!!”
As the boy finished, he concentrated hard, almost to the point of shaking. After a few moments and a low yell, the boy’s skin turned a scaly green and hardened. His body now matched his eyes, which were red and green, very spooky.
“Wow, calm down” Tobias said as he looked around, making sure none of the normal humans around had seen a thing. “Turn back!”
“Oh, yeah, secret identities, right…”
The boy’s fists clenched together as his green skin shedded, revealing his normal form. He seemed disoriented for a moment, but than was back to his normal excited self.
“Can I be a part of the team???”
“Wait up, first things first…” Tobias was obviously still feeling the effects of his earlier binge drinking. “What’s your name?”
“Jason, Jason Thomas… But they call me reptile-boy”
“It’s nice to meet you Jason, I’m Tobias Christopher-“
“I know, you run really fast and stuff” Jason said, a smile plastered across his face. “And there is the ghost man, and guy with animal parts and shadow dude and weird guy who talks to himself and-“
“Ok, I see you know a lot about us…”
“Yeah, you guys are heroes…”
“What? Well, I guess…”
“You are, and I want to join!”
