The Unexpected Lift

Jake always thought he hit his limit at the gym, but today, to his surprise, he lifted twice his usual weight without struggle. Suddenly, a loud crash caught his attention—Mia, a fellow gym-goer, was trapped under a fallen barbell. Without hesitation, Jake pushed the weight off her, feeling a rush of strength and courage.

"Are you okay?" he asked, shaking off disbelief at what he'd just done. In that moment, Jake realized heroism isn’t about powers but about choosing to help when it counts.
