So I just recently finished the book and became so disappointed when I saw that there were so little fanfictions on this site. I did a but of a frenzy on Archive For Our Own and became INSPIRED to write my own fanfic here on this site. I hope that all of you that enjoyed the book enjoy that fic and the movie when it comes out. Without further ado, please enjoy the chapter.
Bram Greenfeld. Shady Creek high school student, soccer star and closetet gay kid. Bram knew he was gay for a while, and it' s not really something that slows him down. He's still the same old kid, happy to train the JV teammates and tutor his friends. See... Bram loved helping. And his love for helping gives him a huge ass secret.
Bram Greenfield is The Savior. Shady Creek's very own superhero. Now, some of you might be thinking that he was poisoned as a child or is an alien, but that's far from the truth. Bram doesn't even know the truth. He just was suddenly super strong and had the ability to fly. It was like his 5th birthday wish came true. Bram decided early that he wanted to use he his newfound abilities for good. So, he and his best friend, Garrett, worked their asses off. Garrett, with the help of his many sewing classes in middle school, made The Savior's suit out of white leather, his mask our of bright blue leather and his logo a pair of bright blue angel wings. The color was identical to the mask. Bram took self defense classes for years while Garrett took classes specializing in hacking. It all started six years ago. Now, Bram was one of the most talked out people in their town.
Bram would swoop in to rescue drunken citizens, stop bank robberies, assist the police and pretty much did anything to make his small town a better place. Thank god he didn't have an arch nemesis. And when he wasn't The Savior... he was just Bram Greenfield. Shady Creek high school student, soccer star and closeted gay kid.
Bram woke up in the spring afternoon. He had had a LONG night last night from being his alter ego, The Savior. Rescuing dozens of people from a burning building. It had been the fifth fire incident this week and Bram was already sick of it. He hauled himself out of bed and dressed himself for a day at school. It was nothing too flashy or too emo. Just a cabernet henley shirt and green jeans. He grabbed his Converse and his leather jacket and called out a goodbye to his mother. Just outside his door was a black car. Garrett Laughlin sat in his car and honked the horn as if he had been there for hours. Bram rolled his eyes and took a seat in the front. "Savior." He acknowledged in a low voice, raising his fist for a bump.
"Reverse." Bram acknowledged back, giving him the fist bump. Garrett had been working along side Bram on multiple missions. He was always in Bram's earpiecr, telling him where to go and what to watch out for. Bram decided that he needed a name on the lines and decided to call him Reverse. Garrett didn't really like it at first... but it stuck.
"Big day, huh?" Garrett said, driving out of Bram's neighborhood
"For me or for you?" Bram asked, connecting his cell phone to Garrett' s AUX cord.
Garrett have him an eye roll. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. The big game!"
Both Bram and Garrett were on their school's soccer team. They whooped as and won first place championships for a two year streak. "I know Garrett. I'm just not as excited for it as you might be." He sighed, playing with the silver zipper of his jacket.
"What's on your mind?"
Bram gave him a look. "Hmmm... I don't know. Maybe the whole frickin town's safety is depending on my black ass."
"No." Garrett corrected, making a swift left turn. "The town's safety or depending on The Savior's black ass. You are Bram Greenfeld right now and Bram Greenfeld needs to focus on our game. And maybe... hmmm, I don't know... Simon Spier."
Bram gave Garrett a rather hard nudge out of anger and laughter. Bram has had a crush of Simon Spier for a long time. He has such cute blonde hair with adorable waves like the ocean and skin so light and soft. Garrett knows that he likes Simon and us always trying to get him to take a chance and ask him out, never knowing that Simon might be gay or bisexual. Bram always turns down those thoughts before they spiral out of control. Even thought Bram would want nothing more than to go on a date with the cute Simon Spier... it'd too nerve wrecking. He loses the ability to speak whenever he's around Simon. Maybe that's why he's so quiet.
"You know that I could never as him out. If probably end up... throwing up in his face." Bram said, making up a quick excuse.
Garrett rolled his eyes and gave his friend a smile. "Simon Spier would be crazier than The Joker to not like you like you like him."
Bram pressed a song on his phone and it played loudly as they made their way to school.
The school day was pretty uneventful. Classes, free periods, friends, the same ol same ol. Until lunch came. Bram had gotten his tray and made his way to his usual lunch table. The one with Abby, Nick, Leah, Garrett and... Simone Spier. Thinking about what Garrett had told him earlier in the car, he took in a deep breath and took a seat right next to Simon, instead of all the way on the other side of the table. "Hey guys." He greeted.
"Heya Bram." Leah greeted him back with a smile and wave.
"What's up Greenfeld!" Nick said, giving Bram the strange handshake that all the soccer players do. Bram took a seat and Simon gave him a wide smile. Bram smiled back. "Holy crap!" Abby said, with mouthful of pudding. She swallowed before continuing. "Simon... you have to tell Bram and Garrett about the thing!"
Simon blushed a but from embarrassment while Leah and Nick agreed. "Yeah. Tell them!" Nick said, banging his spoon on the tray accidentally.
Simon shook his head and raised his hand. "I doubt they'd want to hear about it."
"Oh come on!" Leah said.
"I'm willing to listen." Garrett said, leaning a bit closer and giving Bram a tap. Bram looked at him and gave him a look of Really pal?!
Bram turned back to the four and smiled. "Go on Spier." He said. "Tell us about your thing."
Simon looked around the lunchroom a bit and leaned in like was going to whisper. "I got a call from one of the colleges I'm applying to. And they're coming all the way here to see the play... to see if they want to give me a scholarship!"
Garrett gave Simon a happy shout and got up to give him a side hug. Bram blushed a bit at the sight but gave Simon the praise he deserved. "Congratulations Simon!" He said. "That's amazing!"
"I know I'm so excited for the show next week."
Just then Bram's phone vibrated. But not a normal vibrate... It was one he had set for the emergency in the city of just anywhere in town. He pulled his phone out and read the alert. Fire at coffee shop in city. 3 people trapped inside and firefighters are struggling to arrive at the scene.
He gave Garrett a tap and got up from his seat. "Uh... Sorry guys. I gotta go. My... uh... mom needs me."
Abby gave him a friendly wave. "No worries." She said.
"Yeah... uh, I'll be back before Mr. Wise's class starts. See you guys and I'm, congrats Simon. Proud of you." Then he bolted, Garrett pulling out his tablet as he did. Bram walked off the school grounds and flew up in the air. He mentally punched himself in the jaw. Why the absolute hell did I say that I was proud of Simon? You are a moron. A big ass moron.
Bram changed from his school clothes to his Savior uniform in a matter of seconds and flew as fast as he could into the city. He could tell by the dark smoke which coffee shop was on fire. He flew inside the engulfed shop and pulled out two young ladies, with soot and ash covering their uniforms. He let them down safely on the sidewalk across the street. "Is anyone else still in there?!" He asked, his voice disguised.
"Our boss!" One cried, pointing at the building. "He fell and hurt his leg!"
The Savior flew back into the building and searched for the ladies boss. He as there alright. Covered in blackening debris and groaning in pain. Bram keeled down and pulled the debris off of him. He pulled him into his arms bridal style and flew him out to fresh air and safety. Paramedics rushed to him and placed the unconscious coffee shop owner on a gurney. Thr Savior walked over to a fire hydrant just across the street and yanked off the cap like it was from a water bottle.
The water splashed on the ablaze building and the onlookers clapped in happy applause. Bram levitated in the air as reporters surrounded him. Bram rolled his eyes. He hated reporters. "Savior! Mr. Savior!" They all called. Bram looked up at the sky and flew up, avoiding their inapporiate questions. Strange, Bram thought as flew back to school. Why are all these fires coming from?
His earpiece began to beep, coming from Garrett. He had finally found somewhere private to speak to him. He pressed the button and started speaking. "Reverse?"
"This is weird." Garrett said, pretty much saying what Bram was thinking. "This is the sixth fire in the course of a week Savior. Someone is behind this."
"Don't worry. We'll figure this out. We always do." Bram said. "How much time do I have to get to Wise's class?"
"2 and a half minutes?"
Bram sped off as fast as he could back to school.
Bram came running to his class, still managing to be early. Garrett was there, waiting for him outside the door. "What did you... find?" Bram asked, obviously out of breath.
"One, I found a vending machine with cold water." He said, handing his friend the bottle. Bram swallowed hard on the refreshing goodness. "Also, I hacked into the cameras near the shop. Check this out."
Garrett pulled out his tablet and showed Bram the video, fake laughing as if he was showing him a vine or some shit. Bram saw there was a man there, dressed in all black fireproof armor and a thick black helmet. In his hand was a HUGE flamethrower. "This is the guy we're looking for?"
"Has to be. I'm guessing that fireproof armor and a steel flamethrower is not a spring fashion trend." Garrett said, shoving the tablet back into his bag.
"I'll see what I can find during patrol tonight." Bram said, finally walking into the classroom. What he didn't expect was that all of the early students were on their phones. Watching the latest video of The Savior in action. Among those students were Simon and Abby. "What's going on?" Garrett asked, trying to sound confused and innocent.
"The Savior was in town today." Abby said, pointing at the video playing on Simon's phone. Bram and Garrett looked along and acted as if they were surprised. "He's so cool! And look how he flew in save that man, so bad ass!" Abby said, chuckling from obvious crushing.
"Look at him." Simon said, grabbing Simon's attention by the horns. "He's so selfless and brave."
"You really think so?" Bram asked, finally uttering words to his long time crush.
Simon looked up and him and nodded. "I think that all heroes have to be selfless and brave. I mean he just flew into a burning coffee shop, without even thinking twice about his own wellbeing. That's... that's pretty bad ass."
Bram blushed, nodding his head in a agreement. He grabbed his things and took a seat on the couch along with Garrett. Garrett was giving him a wide and creepy smile. "Spier thinks that you're bad ass."
Bram looked at him and smiled. "Am...Am I blushing?" He asked, nervous giggling.
"Yes you are my dear friend. Yes you are."
