Michael Bridgesis your typical American kid, with his blond almost brown hair and brown eyes, with no redeeming features and with alignment to help people only if is not of an inconvenient for him.
Michael was very normal kid, he had friends and a loving family, he is average in everything he did and lived a peaceful normal life, a thing Michael was very happy to have, sadly lady fate was so cruel with him, his parents and sister die in a terrorist attack to his city when he has 8 years and all of his relatives couldn’t take him, then he goes to live with his godparent Steve.
Steve is a sort of extreme sportsman, were become famous to laugh in the face of death, performing by the opinion of Michael incredible stupid acrobatics that only can be done it in the cartoons, sadly and thankfully for Michael, Steve accepted him with open arms, maybe it was not completely normal, but it was a good life.
"That’s insane!, uncle Steve you can’t be serious, that’s suicide!" What Michael was complaining was of the next performance of Steve, it consists of his uncle going through obstacle in a building under construction in Washington while being blindfold and with ear plugs.
"Listen kid, it is my job to do things that can be considered suicide for normal people, but I am not a normal person as the same as you~" the last part was said with a mockery tone.
"I am not a kid!, I already have 14 years this day! And I am normal!" It were 6 years since Michael live with his uncle Steve in his big trailer, because of the work of Steve and his fame, Michael and his uncle go to different places in the USA and sometimes he needed to leave the country, when Michael came to live with him Steve changed the trailer with a bigger one so no matter what they can have their private space.
"Say the boy who knows Krav maga, kung fu and muay thai, learned parkour, how to drive a boat, Yatch, jet ski, an air plane, helicopter, and a jet, have learned Chinese, Thai, Hebrew, Arabic and Spanish. And I still not counted how many times you participated with me in the previous performances" said Steve with a grin in his face.
"A great amount of that is your fault!" shouted Michael with wrath.
"Hahahah!, don’t worry, I know" said Steve with a big smile.
To his words Michael could only sigh in resignation "Just, don’t kill yourself, promise me" said Michael with concern.
"......Hahahaha! That’s obvious! If I were to die like this it would be more embarrassing than that time I jump in a bicycle with only a towel!" said Steve with happiness.

"...Mike how many years I will have?" asked Steve.
"Stop with the nick name!" shouted Michael but still he answered his questions, "You will be 40 the next year" said Michael.
"...As I thought, Mike after this last performance I will quit being an extreme sportsman" said Steve.
"...Uncle you have fever?" asked Michael with concern.
"Hehe~, yeah, I will think of that too, the thing is that I already lived the best I can, my body is not becoming younger, and you need to go to school and make friends, since before you live with me I could take care of both of us without doing any work, that will be my present, an earlier retirement, what you say?, cool not?" said Steve with a calm and happy expression in his face.
"That’s great!, thank you uncle!...but are you sure?" said Michael.
"Hehehe~ don't worry I planned to doing so in my birthday a little sooner is not a big deal~" said Steve.
Steve made it out of the building without a scratch, thanks that he made it, he felt the vibrations of the building with hammers hits and with that he find his way down safe and now that he is safe he walks out with a lot of applause, Steve performances were well known through the world, so he always has public when he makes an appearance, Steve was to some steps to go out of the building with Michael with a microphone so Steve will give the news of his retirement, but then.
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
KABOOOOOOOOOOM!
Washington was attacked again for terrorists, this time 6 booms or so exploded, the building for some reason was under the range of one explosion and destroyed part of it making it to fall under his area, where Steve was standing, when all the building go down the force of the impact destroyed and sank the surrounding floor, with Steve under it.
"UUUUUNCLEEEEEEEE!" shouted Michale in sorrow without stopping crying.
Michael was realist, he knows that his uncle Steve die when the building fell under him so the only thing he does is been there and cry while saying "uncle" until the defense forces came, never was found the full body of Uncle Steve and the parts were sepulted.
Little know Michael that the attack become the beginning of something new, something powerful and something that he will never want to go close, after so much time of crying he decided to go and live an ordinary life, a thing liked by Michael and what his uncle Steve wanted, but the ordinary of the world was taken that day.
