[ WP ] A 16 year old kid discovered that he has the greatest superpowers the world has ever known . But there 's one issue , he has crippling social anxiety .

`` Oh thank you Atom Man! Thank you! You stopped the bank robbery just in time!'' 
 
 `` Yeah, well you know, my pleasure. Got ta go now.'' 
 
 `` Well wait! Let the reporters get here first so they can talk to you! And also the Mayor so he can award you the Key to the City! While everyone in the city gathers for your big speech!'' 
 
 `` See ya!'' 
 
 Damion Phillips flew off into the sky to return to his house so he could sleep for the big math test tomorrow. When he got home, his mother and father were watching TV and had not noticed he had left. He flew through the open window in his bedroom, changed out of his superhero suit, and fell into bed instantly falling asleep. 
 
 When he woke up the next morning he quickly got ready for school and then hopped on his bike to ride there. As soon as he entered the school parking lot, he saw Barry. He quickly turned his bike to ride away but he heard Barry shout, `` Hey look! It's the Quiet Queer!'' Damion locked his bike on the bike rack and then ran off to English class. 
 
 By the time third period came around, Damion was at his locker getting his books for his next class. When he closed his locker, he saw Barry and his posse walking up to him. He turned to leave but Barry grabbed him and slammed him into a locker door. 
 
 `` What's up Quiet Queer? Could n't help but notice how you avoided me this morning. There a reason for that?'' 
 
 Damion shook his head no. 
 
 `` Really? So you would n't mind giving me the lunch money you owe me today, would you?'' 
 
 Damion reached into his backpack and felt the five dollar bill. He used one of his powers to copy it, and then gave one of the bills to Barry. 
 
 `` Thanks doofus. Oh and by the way...'' 
 
 Barry sucker punched Damion in the stomach. Damion curled over and pretended like it hurt. 
 
 `` Hey! Leave him alone!'' shouted a voice. 
 
 Barry turned and Damion looked up to see Heather Reynolds, the hottest most popular girl in school. Head cheerleader for the varsity cheer squad and also star player on the varsity volleyball team. Every guy at Metro City High's dream girl, and a senior superstar. 
 
 `` Oh what is Miss Pretty Little Long Legs gon na do to make me?'' taunted Barry. 
 
 `` Probably post that picture of you that you sent me in your underwear,'' she replied. `` I bet a lot of girls would love to see you in those hot tighty whities.'' 
 
 `` I never sent you a picture like that,'' said Barry. 
 
 `` True, but your ex-girlfriend Jessica did.'' 
 
 `` Fine hot stuff. We'll leave him alone.'' Barry and his posse walked off. 
 
 Heather strode over to Damion, who was still pretending to be hurt. 
 
 `` Are you okay?'' she asked bending down to his level hunched over. 
 
 He bent his head back up and saw her standing there. He stood up and gathered his stuff and then managed a weak, `` Th-thanks.'' 
 
 When he got home, he saw a FaceBook request from Heather. Being the shy person he was, he ignored it. Why did he even make a FaceBook? Oh right, his Dad made him make one so he could try and connect more with people. Damion looked out his window and then noticed a note stuck into the frame of the window. He took it out and read it. 
 
 `` I know who you are.'' it said. 
 
 Damion passed out from anxiety. 
 
 When he woke up it was midnight. He rubbed his head and stood up. In the window was another note. Damion took it out. 
 
 `` I have your girlfriend at the abandoned warehouse on fifth street.'' 
 
 Girlfriend? Damion did n't have a girlfriend. But he figured he should probably go there anyways because whoever was leaving these notes, knew his true identity. Who could it be though? Damion put on his suit and flew out the window. 
 
 The warehouse on fifth street was in sight. Damion crashed through one of the windows and landed inside the building. It was pitch black, but once he entered the lights came on, not that they needed to, he had night vision. In the warehouse was a giant vat of... something... and above it was Heather Reynolds attached to a wench by a chain. Damion began towards the vat but suddenly was frozen in place. 
 
 `` MWUHAHAHA! At last, Atom Man... or should I say... DAMION PHILLIPS!'' 
 
 Damion knew that voice. It was his super villain rival, Dr. Evil. 
 
 `` As you can see, I have made some improvements to my Power Suit. It now features rays that can freeze you in your tracks completely by countering your altered DNA. But that is n't the best part... it also completely saps your power and transfers it to me!'' 
 
 Damion felt a surge go through his body and then he fell to the floor. He got up and turned around to see Dr. Evil getting out of his Power Suit. 
 
 `` Did it work?'' said Dr. Evil. He held out his hand and a blast of energy flew out of it. `` Oh yes! Now to destroy you once and for all Regular Man!'' Dr. Evil flew towards Damion, and when he hit him Damion flew backwards and smashed into a wall. `` Finally! He is dead! Now... to take over Metro City!'' 
 
 But suddenly, Damion stood up. `` W-w-what? The force of that blow should have killed you? How are you...?'' 
 
 Damion fired a blast of energy from his hand which knocked Dr. Evil back into his Power Suit which fell apart from the force of the hit. 
 
 `` I made a miscalculation... I have your powers, but you have not lost them... Damnit!'' 
 
 Damion flew over to Dr. Evil's destroyed Power Suit and took out the Power Core. He hurled it at Dr. Evil and it shattered. The Power Energy inside it disintegrated Dr. Evil into a pile of ash. With his last breath, Dr. Evil said, `` How could I get a Ph.D but be outwitted by a high school student? HOW?'' 
 
 Damion flew over to Heather, undid the chain, and flew her down onto the floor of the warehouse. 
 
 `` Are you really Damion?'' she asked. 
 
 Damion nodded a yes. 
 
 `` Wow... you've been Atom Man this whole time... and you saved me... I ca n't...'' 
 
 Damion looked down at the ground. Heather lifted his chin up and kissed him on the lips. 
 
 `` I promise, I wo n't tell anyone...'' she said. 
 
 Damion sighed. He lifted his finger and touched Heather's forehead. She fell down, unconscious but Damion caught her. He touched her forehead again and searched through her memories, deleting all of the one's from tonight. Then he flew her back to her house and put her back in bed. 
 
 Once he got back home, he took off his super suit and got into bed. But then he glanced at his computer. He logged onto FaceBook and sent Heather a friend request and then went back to sleep.
