Super Iago #3

Wassup y’all!

Welcome back for an awesome Super-Iago story. This is gonna be the best one yet, just like all the ones before, and all the stories that will come after. Today’s story is gonna be… kinda chill. 

Super-Iago woke up a cold November morning, to a feeling that made him question his decision to live in a shack with no radiators. It felt like there were spikes ripping through his skin, and traveling through his blood cells, all the way to his brain. This was the kind of suffering that Super-Iago was forced to endure each morning before he had to walk through the long, endless streets and over the graffiti-covered bridges. Except Super-Iago was used to it, so it wasn’t all that foreign to him. Super-Iago pulled the covers off of his miserably cold body, only to feel sharp icicles penetrating his body. But again; he was used to it.

Super-Iago trudged over to the bathroom, and looked at his numb, blue face frowning in the mirror. Super-Iago brushed his teeth, with overly-sweet mint toothpaste. He then filled up his water bottle, threw on a light green jacket, and raced to the closest subway station to catch the train before eight o’clock.

Super-Iago hopped on a train at 7:56, and sat down right next to an elderly man with a sharp black suit, and a bright red tie. He tried to ignore the man, but he couldn’t help but notice the man’s gold name tag; It read “S-Iago”! For y’all that don’t know, the big “S” stands for “Super”, and there was no other Super-Iago in Superville. Super-Iago quickly looked away, but not before the old man caught Iago staring at the thin tag on his pocket.

“Hello”, said the man

Super-Iago slowly tilted his head towards the man, and mumbled, “Howzit goin’?”. 

The man responded only with a chuckle.

“I’m Iago.”

“I’m sure you are”

“And I see I’m not the only one around here”, Super-Iago said, nodding towards the tag.

“Yes… a perceptive young man you are.” Responded the man, as he nodded back with a smile.

Across the aisle, Super-Iago saw a man that he recognized as his friendly neighbor, Jeff. As you might remember from our previous story, Iago’s neighbor had the delicious ability to summon chocolate. Super-Iago felt a tingling sensation through his body, as he began to steal some chocolate power from Jeff. Quicker than the speed of light, the imposter's body became encased by chocolate. 

It was a good thing Jeff knew about Super-Iago’s power, because normally people react shockingly to Super-Iago stealing their powers like this: 

“ohhhhhh my goodness gosh! What just happened?”

Whereas Jeff reacted more like this: “you’re lucky there’s nobody on this train… and everybody loves leftover Halloween candy.”, He then went on to picking at a loose thread in his sweater.

Super-Iago looked up at Jeff, and began to dial the authorities.

When the cops arrived, Super-Iago told them the truth… and naturally, they didn’t believe him.
