The next day, in the afternoon, David heard the door bell ring and opened the door. It was Mr Robinson, much to his surprise at the door.
     "What a surprise!", he said.
     "Can I come in?", asked Mr Robinson.
     "Yeah! Of course!", David gestured for him to come in. Mr Robinson walked in, with his hands at the back, looking round the house as though he was a cop  that came to investigate on something.
     David, with curiousness asked;"Uhmm...Are you a police officer?"
     Mr Robinson laughed, knowing exactly why he was asked such question. "Don't mind me...no...I'm not a cop", he said. David shrugged his shoulders. Mr Robinson saw a picture frame hanging at the wall of David and his parents.
     "Are your parents home?", he asked David.
     "No!", he shook his head, "They went to see a friend who just delivered a baby."
     Mr Robinson sighed;"So...I hope I didn't interrupt you from something important you were doing?"
     David thought for a while. "Nah...it's nothing...was just creating a comic over there", he pointed to the dining table. "Follow me", he said to Mr Robinson.
     Both of them went over to the dining table. David sat down on his chair but Mr Robinson stood by him, waiting for him to open his book.
     "It's a simple comic where I made myself a superhero with great super powers. Ever since Ratboy died, I decided to create this comic of me defeating that monster."
     Mr Robinson watched David as he spoke, he was happy with what David was telling him. He also looked through the comic as David flipped through the pages.
     While he was still speaking, Mr Robinson cut him short. "Sorry for interrupting you", he apologized, "Buh...do you mind following me to my place?", he said.
     David wondered at what Mr Robinson probably wanted to show to him. After enough thinking over it;"No problem! Let's go!" He got up from his chair.
     *                       *                       *
     Mr Robinson opened his door and they got into his home. David went awestruck at the sight of inside the building.
     "You've got a really beautiful home...and lots of appliances to make you live comfortably", he said.
     "Yeah! Thanks a lot...but we'll be going to my laboratory...which is", they got to the door, "here."
     "Wow! I'll love to see your laboratory, I bet it will be the most beautiful of your home", replied David.
     Mr Robinson opened the lab and as David had said, it was the most beautiful. He left his mouth slightly opened in awe.
     "This place is at the peak of awesomeness", he said. He looked round the lab, seeing the different labelled sections.
     "Let's go to the Ratboy creation section. Follow me", he instructed.
     David couldn't believe his ears. "Wait! Did you just say Ratboy creation section?", he asked. Mr Robinson nodded his head. David became so excited;"You're an SHC worker!!"
     "Yeah!", Mr Robinson answered.
     David in big big excitement;"Oh my God!!"
     They stopped at the section, it didn't have much equipment as the rest. It only had a small box on a table and a laptop. That didn't take away David's brightened mood though, he actually became happier, arriving the section.
     "I haven't had a good long conversation with you yet but the little I've had has told me you're the only right person for the job", stated Mr Robinson.
     "What job?", asked David, so eager to know. He could guess what job it was but he wanted Mr Robinson to confirm his guess.
     "I feel you'll be a perfect replacement for the the SHC Ratboy", Mr Robinson told him.
     David jumped up in excitement;"Yes!!" "I don't need to think about it...as long as it involves being a superhero and most importantly, saving people's lives, I'm in", he added.
     He saw the surprise look on Mr Robinson and signified for him to calm down. "Relax! I know you're surprised I didn't give it a thought but for me, I've thought about this well. I know being a Ratboy would expect a lot of sacrifices and responsibilities from me but", he paused for a second, "I feel I'm ready for it", he assured Mr Robinson.
     "Okay then...that's the spirit!", Mr Robinson turned to open the small box. "There's something you gonna let me place on your palm", he opened the box.
     "What is it Sir?", questioned Dave. Mr Robinson brought out the robot work and signalled David to open his palm. David did so without thinking twice. Mr Robinson placed the worm on David's palm.
     The worm bore into his palm and entered into his body. David laughed;"This really tickles."
     Mr Robinson gazed at him. "This boy's really an adventurous fella", he thought.
     David looked all over his body, expecting something to change in him. After noticing no change;"Uhmmm...why's nothing happening to me yet?"
     "Close your eyes and imagine yourself wearing the Ratboy outfit", Mr Robinson told him.
     David closed his eyes and thought of it. The magic then began...light completely covered him and when it completely vanished, he saw himself wearing the Ratboy costume."
     "Oh wow! What a technology!", he exclaimed. He had a look at himself again.
     "Let me tell you the essentials. This costume got sticky gloves, you will be able to climb things with it...even the feet got sticky foot wears."
     Mr Robinson sat down on a nearby stool. "Once you wear this costume, you'll be really good at martial arts...it's programmed."
     "You can also perceive the mildest scent ever. You'll be a very good hider. Even without these improvised claws, you can dig through the ground and walls. You'll be as swift as a rat in human measure."
     David spoke out after observing Mr Robinson had stopped talking. "All these powers in person? I'm really honoured Sir."
     Mr Robinson added. "One more thing", he stood up, "...an SHC superhero should never get scared of his villain. If you do, that's a turn off. You can't defeat your villain if scared...never!"
     "I'm not scared of that monster. I'll fight him to the very end", replied David.
     "The name of that monster is Death...just so you know", said Mr Robinson.
     David placed his finger on his lower lip, amazed at the name. "Is he that dangerous?", he questioned.
     "Any villain that threatens human survival is dangerous. Don't take your mind there", replied Mr Robinson, trying not to scare David off.
     David heaved a sigh;"So what's it I've got to do now I'm the new Ratboy?"
     "You'll have to check it out and get accustomed to all your new powers."
