Jett kept his eyes on Donny as he tried to explain more...When he mentioned he did horrible things to Kasuke, and even tried to kill her, his left hand balled into a fist. He couldn’t help it, it was second nature for him to get angry if someone was trying to hurt, or kill someone….especially a girl even though she could very well defend herself. It was drilled into him by his father, and his grandfather. His lips tightened into a straight line as he forced himself to remain calm. Obviously this kid had some issues… decking him at this moment would be a horrible choice. Add to the fact that Kasuke was fine with only a few scrapes. Nothing bad had been done. 

When Donny suddenly began to melt, his eyes went wide. He did NOT see that one coming. He watched as he unhinged his jaw and ate the can whole. He looked away as he admitted he wanted another chance. Working through his own thoughts as he bit the inside of his lip as he made sure he was going to say what needed to be said...not what he wanted.

[color=007236]“Donny…” [/color]He paused for another second or two.[color=007236] “ Why do you want to be a hero?”[/color] He looked at him. His eyes serious. [color=007236]“ I mean really… don’t give me the usual answers. Tell me your motivation in wanting to become a hero.” [/color]

Donny was surprisingly quick to answer. [color=firebrick]”I wanted people to look at me and not be afraid. I want them to call me a hero and like me because I’m there. Not be disgusted or scared because of what I look like or what I do.”[/color] He was all too aware how his actions today has been counterproductive to that image. Donny would say it was ironic, but he was fairly certain that’s not what that word means. Straightening up again Donny started poking at his shoes. [color=firebrick]”I… Read stories of monstrous things and people… Who are just misunderstood and uncertain. I thought maybe I was too… Some of those people work hard and become heroes. But they… It’s easier for them. They’re usually stupid. They just didn’t know better. I’m not like them… I knew what I was doing, and yet…”[/color]

Leaning his head back his eyes squinted before he then said, [color=007236]“Yeah...but stories only capture part of the journey. The stuff you hear on the news is only the interesting parts...it doesn’t go into detail of their daily struggles before they made it. And even in books, the author makes it look as easy or as hard as they want. Month long travels happen in a page turn. You can’t compare yourself to that and expect results.”  [/color]

Looking at him again after taking a long sip of his drink.[color=007236]“Before you can get people to like you, or not see you as a monster, but as a hero. You got to look at yourself like that first. You can’t be ashamed of how you look, or embarrassed. You can’t think that you are a monster because when you do that.”[/color] He tapped his temple again. [color=007236]“You become what you think. You have to first accept yourself in full before you can expect others to.” [/color]

He gave him a nudge with his elbow with a encouraging smile.[color=007236] “Now. You are not expelled for your mistake. You are still here. The only thing stopping you from becoming the best version of yourself...is yourself. So what do you say, you gonna come back to class with me and start your journey to becoming a Hero?”[/color]

Donny continued to sulk but thought about Jett’s words. He wasn’t sure what to think. So much of his mind was already against Donny, ostensibly for his own protection. He’s been burned before and he doesn’t want it to happen again. But what he also wants will put him on a dangerous road rife with disappointment. Donny didn’t want to be disappointed. But at what point will he stop being scared and take the first step? [color=firebrick]”I… I guess… I’ll go back to class.”[/color] Donny said with some uncertainty. He wasn’t sure what he was doing. But at this point he was just going off with what felt right to him. Donny slowly got to his feet while dropping some crumbs on the floor, sweeping them back into his hand and eating them. He ate his trash before putting the rest of his snacks into his bag. He wiped away what was left of his tears and glanced at Jett before waiting for him to lead them back to class.

Jett got to his feet, finishing his drink and tossing it into the recycle bin. Looking to Donny he added. [color=007236]“No, there is no guessing here Donny. You want to change your life and want people to see you as a hero. You got to be positive!” [/color]He smiled big and raised his fist for a fist bump. 

Donny looked at Jett with a big of confusion. He shakily punched Jett’s fist and gave an awkward smile back. [color=firebrick]”P-P-Plus Ultra?”[/color]

Jett sighed as he got a shaky fist bump. It would have to do for now.[color=007236] “Plus Ultra.”[/color] He said with a smile before walking back with Donny to class. They managed to actually make it back just as Lysander finished his speech. Jett had continued walking past him and flicked his right earlobe. [color=007236]“Yeah… I’m going to tell my kids the story how Lysander dropped like a sack of potato’s after one punch.” [/color]He said chuckling. He sat back down on a desk as they waited for the bell.
