So they decide to make it their own…let’s say with stunts of the drawing kind. It’s a perfect hideout, and hangout, and it’s not half anyone’s…it’s all theirs.
So when Portico and new friend, Herbert, and best best friend, Zola, discover an empty apartment, unlocked, they are psyched. And the elevator is busted, so to get between floors means getting past the bullies who hang in the stairwells. He’s never fully with one parent or the other. What’s also giving him frets is his parents living on two separate floors in their apartment building. But don’t talk to him about the divorce, because of the hairball thing, and also, it gives Portico the frets. Which is a word that sounds like coughing up a hairball. He couldn’t save his parents from becoming Xs. He likes it that way-then no one can get in the way of him from keeping other other people safe. Portico Reeves is the greatest superhero a lot of people have never heard of.
