The Lab Computer!
One day in school, Carl learned that Bill Gates, the well known billionaire, was planning on visiting his High School on the wednesday of next week. He decided that a multibillionaire would need a whole lot of protection against those who would seek to harm him for their own personal gain.
That night, after he had done his homework, Carl had gone up to his room, and was playing nintendo with his powerglove. He was about to beat Super Macho Man in Punch Out, when he realized the potential of the powerglove. He spent the next three days after school altering the powerglove. On Thursday he had completed the powerglove renovations, adding 2 liquid-shooting tubes, and one gas shooting tube. When Carl pressed the number of the tube that he wanted to use, and the "a" button on the powerglove, the contents would shoot out and do their thing to whatever they hit. On friday, he designed a tank to hold all three substances separately, and deliver them to the powerglove for dispertion. He then needed a way to accurately target what he wanted to shoot... By the monday of the week Bill Gates was supposed to visit, he had fiddled with the mystical labgoggles, inserting a crosshair that mimicked the powerglove's movement when his hand was in a fist. Seeing that he did good, he dubbed the new weapon the Labgauntlet.
It was the day of the visit, and all of the faculty was in a stir, trying to score some free hardware for their labs, and maybe even some money. There were four times as many security guards in the school, as well as Bill Gates' bodyguard. As Bill Gates entered the building, Carl became Labcoat Man, and booted up the labgauntlet. he had decided on filling the tubes with Hydrochloric acid, a super-slippery liquid, and laughing gas. As Bill Gates was walking the halls of Carl's school, Labcoat Man was following closely behind, but out of sight of the security. Everything seemed to be going as planned. As Mr. Gates entered one of the school's courtyards, Labcoat Man noticed a strage figure up on the roof, trying not to be seen. As the Multi-billionaire left to continue his visit, Labcoat Man snuck up to the roof to pursue the shadowy figure. The crowd was nearing the end of the tour, and was about to cross the parking lot to show Bill Gates the pool. The shady figure pulled out a sniper's rifle and was carefully aiming at the head of the richest man in America.
At that moment, Labcoat Man was sneaking up behind the sniper, and gave him a healthy dose of laughing gas. As the sniper started to laugh, a shot was fired from the gun, grazing Bill Gates' bodyguard. Everyone turned around to see the laughing sniper being tied up by Labcoat Man.
Bill Gates shouted up, "Who're you??"
"I am Labcoat Man," Carl replied. "This man was trying to kill you."
"Thank you... Labcoat Man is it? Come down here and let me give you a reward!"
"I can't do that Mr. Gates, because people might find out who I really am."
"Well, see me after my speech, in the school's library"
"Will do. See you later." And after that, Labcoat man turned around and ran from sight.
The time was about 1:30 pm, and Bill Gates was waiting in the library, with a guard posted at every door, told to look for a person with a labcoat on. Before long, Labcoat Man did arrive, and was admitted into the library to talk to the man whom he had saved.
"I'm glad that you have shown up." Bill gates started.
"So am I, but I am missing a history class right now..."
"Now, about that reward I promised you... But first, you have to tell me who you really are."
"I can't do that, people might hear..."
"I promise that we are the only two people in this library. No one will hear."
"Okay, my real name is.... Carl Geiger. I am a junior at this high school right now."
"Wow... how do you stop crime and not have anyone else know your true identity??"
"It is hard. I usually have to find a closet or something to hide behind when I become Labcoat Man."
"How would you like a hideout, not far from your house, no that you can fight crime outside of school?"
"I would like that very much, Mr. Gates. I feel that this world is full of crime, and to stop more of it, I'm going to have to have a secret hideout. Using school Chemicals to refuel my arsenal is risky and tiresome."
"Okay. I'll get some people working on a hideout when I get back to my office tomorrow. We'll link it to your room, so you can go there anytime and do work, OK?"
"Sounds good to me. Thank you very much."
"Oh no, it is I who needs to thank you."
"Say, did you find out who that sniper was?"
"Yes. He was hired by a small computer firm to drum up business by killing me."
"Yeesh..." And at that, Labcoat Man left the library to go back to class.
About 5 months passed between that moment and the day when Labcoat Man was to be shown his new secret hideout. During that time, he had solved a couple of crimes at school. Bill Gates, Disguised as a delivery person, came to Carl's home and showed him how to work the elevator that lead him to his new hideout. He then left to return to his business elsewhere. Carl followed the instructions, and was quickly transported to his new hideout. When the elevator doors opened, he was truely amazed.
He had arrived in a room that was 30 feet long by 25 feet wide, and 10 feet high. The walls were covered in shelves, which were stocked with every single chemical you could think of, and plenty of it. There was also a large selection of glassware and scientific instruments. In the middle of the room, there was a fairly large workbench, where one could mix chemicals and perform experiments. On the north wall, there was a large computer, which could only be beaten in speed by the pentagon's computers. Carl dubbed it the Stock Room.
Carl then walked around the room, and he found a note on the workbench. he picked it up and read it... 'if you need more chemicals, call this number and tell them what you need. Don't worry, it'll be taken care of.' Carl reclined in the big, comfy chair by the super computer, and simply said "wow..."
