"No!" Jon screamed as the man in the green costume poured the acid onto his sister Zoe. She screamed in pain.
Jon charged forward, slamming into the costumed villain. Some of the acid splashed onto his shoulder, burning his skin through his clothes. He landed on top of the man, who let out an "oof" as he hit the ground hard.
Jon reached back, making a fist as he prepared to punch him, but the man started laughing. Jon stopped.
"What's so funny?"
"You are! Here you are attacking me, instead of saving your sister! How very heroic!"
Jon looked over his shoulder in horror to see Zoe's face beginning to melt off.
He felt the man shift below him, and just then he felt the agony of another vial of acid being smashed into him!
With a start, Jon woke up. He looked around the dark bedroom, panting. He felt his shoulder. It was fine.
'Must have been a dream', he thought. 'Nightmare, more like it.'
Jon bit his lip as he worried that last night's wish might not have been a great idea after all. He went to his hiding place behind the bed and pulled out the stone.
"I wish that no one in my family would be harmed as a result of my becoming a superhero and that no one would get hurt in the process of my getting powers."
The stone flashed again, and Jon sighed. That could have been bad, but now everything was sure to turn out all right!
