I can't believe Beam stole my good deed. I thought he was a stand-up guy! Real heroes don't blast other heroes in the back to gain more points for themself, and it doesn't look like anybody was around to see him hit me. I need to find a way to expose this phony...
-Back at Fant's apartment-
I figure a good person to call for advice would be Wavelength, so I do just that.
"Scott, I need your help with something important."
WL: "What is it?"
"You know Captain Beam?"
WL: "Who doesn't know Captain Beam? He's one of the top heroes! He's saved countless lives, stopped major crimes, and made a big mark on the leaderboard!"
"He's a phony."
WL: "I know, isn't he gre--wait, what? Could you please repeat that?"
"He is a complete fraud. I was trying to save a woman from a burning building, and he shot me in the back to save her instead. He's only in it for the fame! What kind of sick, twisted mind betrays another hero just to get points on a stupid board?!"
WL: "Apparently, him..."
"Well what are we gonna do? I, for one, don't want someone who Caesar's people to be able to compete with everyone."
WL: "I agree. But I'm really bad at coming up with ideas...I think you might have called the wrong person."
"That gives me an idea! Scott, you genius!"
WL: "How could that possibly have helped you come up with an idea?!"
"It didn't, I actually wasn't paying attention to a word you just said. We should call other heroes from the leaderboard and ask them if Beam has done the same thing to them!"
WL: "I would've thought we could do something that ends in a super cool fight sequence with me, you, and Beam, but that works, too. Nice thinking!"
All of a sudden, I hear crashes and people screaming outside.
"What the..."
I run over to my bedroom window, only to see Aqua outside, slashing his water whips at cars in the road.
"Scott, you're gonna wanna come be a part of this. And hurry, I can only stall him for so long."
WL: "Stall who? What's going on???"
"It's Aqua, again."
WL: "Say no more, I'm on my way."
Once I suit up, I go downstairs and out the backdoor, to avoid anyone seeing that this is where I live. Just because I don't wear a mask doesn't mean I go around giving out personal information!
When I get outside, I fly over the apartment and into the middle of the road, which is now scattered with cars and barren of people, who have taken cover in nearby buildings, alleys, and wherever else they could find. I land a safe distance away from Aqua to be able to speak to him and hopefully stall until Wavelength arrives.
I look atop the Hero Headquarters building in the distance, seeing my name in the 5th slot of the leaderboard.
"I'M NUMBER FIVE!!!"
Alright, so I should probably explain. Get ready, 'cause you're in for a lot of info!
The reason I ranked up is because I've stopped enough crimes and gained enough popularity to rank up. The more/bigger the crime and popularity, the closer you get to ranking up. You don't get to keep track of how close you are, though. They're tracked by the office workers at Hero Headquarters, which is the company that started the Leaderboard.
The catch about the leaderboard is that you have to sign up to be entered into it. Anyone can enter, as long as they're a hero, obviously, and have a hero name. They also have to sign up at Hero Headquarters.
Now, here's the thing about HH. There isn't only one of them. There's one in every country. So each country has a different top 100 leaderboard.
What's my role in all of this? I'm trying to become the number one hero in America. I also live in the city that Hero Headquarters: America is located in. Advent City.
Advent City is a place that's located in every country, and each one has it's own Hero Headquarters and country leaderboard!
I've also made quite a few friends here in the past couple years. We have a team of sorts going, but that's a story for another time.
I don't want to be the number one hero because of pride or fame. It's because I wanna know that I can make it. I can be a true hero, and I really can make a difference. This is my story...I am Matchstick.
"YES!!!"
I leap joyfully into the air with my fists raised to the sky.
"Hey, where's my freeze frame?"
C: "Are you being for real, right now? We aren't in a sitcom."
"Dang, how do I keep forgetting my life isn't a TV show?"

SOLD OUT
As we left Fagaras Fortress, we caught up with this groom and bride party. Their pictures were taken inside the castle and they were probably on their way to the reception.
"Built in 1310 on the site of a former 12th century wooden fortress (burned by the Tartars in 1241), Fagaras was enlarged between the 15th and 17th centuries and was considered one of the strongest fortifications in Transylvania. The fortress was surrounded by a deep moat which, in times of war or social unrest, could easily be filled with water from a nearby mountain brook. A bridge over the moat provided the only access point. The fortress boasts three floors and five towers." (www.romaniatourism.com/castles-fortresses.html#fagaras)
During the 1950s it was a prison for opponents and dissidents. After the fall of the Communist State in 1989, the castle has been restored and is currently used as a museum, the Fagaras County Museum, displaying Roman artifacts, a collection of medieval weapons and traditional folk crafts. The museum also hosts a beautiful collection of icons painted on glass.

This photo actually has a few hidden messages and a lot of meaning to me about something I discovered about myself today.
One thing I strive for in my self-portraiture is to display emotion in a way that can be interpreted in different ways rather than just my own. That's the reason why I like to make some of my titles so vague, too.
I love hearing other people's views on my pieces so please feel free to voice your thoughts or perspectives.
