I Need a Name (Omega Kid)

I Need a Name is the second chapter of the first arc of Omega Kid and is the second chapter overall.
==Synopsis==
During class at Hallblock Secondary School, Thomas designs his costume with relative ease, but is still having time thinking up a good name for his superhero alter-ego. He then gets his test result for Mathematics, failing to get a good grade once again. Meanwhile, Rachael Nora, Thomas's long-time crush and as he describes...The hottest, smartest and most popular girl in the school...has earned top marks again.
At break time, Thomas attempts to talk with Rachael for the first time, feeling confident from all his training. However, it is shortly lived, when the playground's attention is turned to Gary the Greek geek being beaten up by the bullies of the school Jason Crews, Freddy Karlson, Charlie Bone and Michael Martin. Despite Thomas's best efforts to talk them out of it, he realises they are drunk, and continue to beat Gary brutally. Using his superhero training, Thomas gives Jason a good punch, but remembers that he failed to train himself to take hits...and is knocked out in one punch by Jason (who has been wearing knuckle-dusters).
Thomas wakes up in the school medical office with Jenna near by. She starts breaking down about Thomas putting himself in danger like that, especially to someone with a notorious reputation like Jason, and that she can't afford to lose anyone else in her family. Later, feeling down from upsetting Jenna so much, Thomas decides to not go through his plan of becoming a superhero. He meets up with Rachael, she thanks him for saving Gary, who turns out to be her cousin, and she hands Thomas an X-Men comic as a thank you present from Gary.
Once she leaves, Thomas reads it and sees the character Kid Omega, and after some thinking comes up with the name Omega Kid. But still can't do anything about it as he remembers Jenna's distress as seeing Thomas hurt, so he still doesn't go through with it. But he does think Omega Kid is still a cool name.

==Notes==
*When Rachael says she's seen Thomas around before, this is a hint at her later revealing her crush on him.
*The name Omega Kid was thought up before Rurrlock discovered there was an X-Men character called Kid Omega.
*The bullies Jason, Freddy, Michael and Charlie were named after the slasher icons of the 80's; Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers and Chucky the killer doll.
*Jason knocking Thomas out with knuckle-dusters is ironic foreshadowing to Omega Kid's trademark weapon of choice.
