The birth of a hero

By Sabene Rizvi

Once there used to be a cat. She was a really cute and nice cat.

One day she was on a walk when she saw that the victor brothers were there she hid and saw what was happening. The victor brothers were stealing chemicals from the chemical research laboratory. She did not do anything about it. The victor brothers were leaving but one of the brother’s dropped two chemicals but he did not notice. When they had left the cat came out of the place she had hid in. The cat was walking when she stepped on the chemicals bags and they tore and mixed and some of it came on the cat and went into her body and cells. It gave her speed, power, energy and she could walk on two feet and talk and she grew big. She thought about how she could use those powers and she decided to become the cat avenger and fight for rightness. She found the victor brothers and she said surrender or else. They both laughed and said what can a cat do of us. The cat ran towards them and gave them a beating and threw them in jail and she said now you know what a cat could do.
