Anyways, R&R please.
CHAPTER ONE: Interruption
"I love you..." he uttered. He stood frozen, having just admitted his true feelings he had had for years towards his best friend, Virgil. "Wh-whoa...what?" Virgil probed, becoming increasingly baffled by Richie's actions. He was staring at the blonde boy, who was looking like what a deer would look like caught in the headlights of a car. "You've been acting weird for days Rich, and this just takes the cake." What happened next left Virgil dead in his tracks. Richie had wrapped his arms around Virgil's back, pulled him in close and placed his lips hard against Virgil's. Speechless, unable to move...unable to do anything at all, he just allowed Richie to kiss him. The room was spinning and nothing, but everything at the same time was running through his head. Suddenly everything went blank. It all went from crazy to normal. Virgil relaxed in Richie's arms and closed his eyes, returning the kiss. Everything started to make sense. He had tried pushing these feelings aside for years, trying to make himself date girls rather then come to terms with what he was feeling inside. It wasn't natural to be in love with another boy...a boy that you've known for years, the best pal you'd ever come to know even. Yet Richie shared these same feelings as he did, and Virgil was grateful for it.
Richie could feel Virgil's stiff body become relaxed in his arms, making him feel relieved. Virgil did not pull away, and run off scared. He accepted the embrace, and further more, returned the kiss. But before Richie could explore further into this new sensation he felt, Backpack, which had lain silently on the bed, sounded off. Reluctantly, Richie pulled away, momentarily feeling resistance from Virgil. Regretably Richie rushed over to Backpack, picked it up and listened to the urgent message being relayed through radio. It was Bang Babies...as usual. He rolled his eyes at himself for hoping it wasn't, especially since Backpack was programmed to go off whenever the words "Metahuman" or "Bang Baby" were specifically spoken in the urgent calls. Richie furrowed his brows, hating the fact that he and Virgil were being interrupted by Bang Babies causing trouble at an amusement park, creating chaos and mayhem among all the patrons enjoying themselves. "Bang Babies are wreaking havoc at Dakota Amusement Park, let's go." Richie said with both urgency and malice strong in his tone.
It didn't take long before Richie and Virgil were able to dawn their superhero disguises and fly out to Dakota Amusement Park, both feeling the resentfulness of their interruption. At the arrival of the scene, screams of terror could be heard throughout the area. The Meta-human Breed gang was stirring up trouble. Shiv was going after the foodstands, Hotstreak was throwing fireballs in every which direction he spotted movement and Ebon was taking valuables while Talon kept everyone in place with her ear shattering shreiking. Gear scoffed at the sight, watching Shiv take down a cotton-candy booth after having thrown the cashier out when they weren't willingly giving up the cash. "I'll take spike boy over there." he said, then took off before Static could protest. Static rolled his eyes. "Right, I'll take on the rest of them then." Static hovered towards Talon and Ebon on his hover disc. "Got tired of beating up old ladies?" Static jibed, making his all too bold entrence all the more amusing. His fists glowed a certain shade of purple, charged up and ready to fight...ready to put all his anger on the Meta-human Breed gang.
"It's Static!" Talon pointed, then immediately flew up towards him and opened her jaw in an attempt to use her powerful shreik, but was thwarted by a flury of eletrical blasts, instantly knocked out cold by them. Ebon watched in dismay as his comrade get knocked out cold by the eletrical blasts, then looked back over to Static with the worst looking death glare. "You ruined my plans for the last time 'Hero'." Ebon hissed, growing ever larger with every word he spoke.
With Shiv knocked out and completely tied up, Gear turned just in time to warn Static that Hotstreak was just about to toss two large fireballs at him. "Static, behind you!" Without a moment to spare, Static managed to get out of the way in time, both fireballs within inches of his face. "Phew..." Static muttered under his breath with relief, narrowly avoiding his face being flambee'ed. It wasn't long before he heard Ebon shout out in pain. Static turned and saw that Hotsteak's own attack had hit Ebon by accident. He could only imagine the expression Ebon would have. Ebon immediately wenr over and jumped Hotstreak, giving him a good thrashing, blaming Hostreak for the unseen injuries inflicted on him. Static had to bite down on his lower lip to fight back a chuckle that clearly wanted to be known and heard. Now that Hotstreak and Ebon were too busy duking it out with each other Gear and Static had the best opportunity to aprehend both criminals. Gear had taken out two Zapcaps and tossed them both at Ebon and Hotstreak, while Static outstretched his arms and directed his electrical blasts at them.
Now rendered powerless and unable to struggle out of the grip the Zapcaps had on them, Ebon and Hotstreak had no choice but to lay on the ground while they waited for their escorts to prison arrive. Static hovered towards Gear and gave a sigh of relief, glad that all of the grief was over. Gear turned to Static with a smile of endearment. "I suppose we should both head back home, the sun is setting." Gear spoke in a hushed tone, not wanting anyone to overhear. Static nodded, whispering back to Gear "Yeah, Pops would be furious with me if I'm late for dinner...again" Gear and Static bumped fists then parted ways to head back to their respective homes, both with a lot on their minds.
Honestly I didn't think I'd get reviews so quickly. I'm looking for beta readers right now. I went ahead and corrected this chapter to the best of my ability, trying to make the format less stressful to the eyes. I appreciate the advice you've given me, and especially love the encouraging words to continue with my story.
Much love is given.
