Villain's Lair (2009)
“He did, in fact, consider it. But then he realized that Damien Black would not know he had done this. Damien Black would still be after him!
Or perhaps you’re wondering why Dave didn’t turn the powerband over to the police and tell them everything.
He considered that, too. But in the end, he just couldn’t seem to part with it. After all, he finally admitted, even a lame power such as the ability to walk on walls was better than no power at all.
And what if someday, some way, he could get his ha...nds on the other ingots?
What if someday, some way, he really could fly?
So instead of chucking the powerband into the river or turning it over to the police, he did what any boy in his predicament would do.
He bought sunglasses.
Sunglasses and hats and T-shirts.
Now, granted, these things do not make for much of a disguise. But as I have said before, this is not a made-up story. This is a real story about a real boy, and real boys do not dress in shiny, stretchy fabrics sewn into embarrassingly tight and wholly ridiculous costumes.MoreLess
