Okay guys I just re-arranged by fanfic by splitting it into like one chapter per page. For those of you who just started reading I'm new to writing fanfiction and I'd really appreciate it if you would review and give me advice on what to improve so I could become a better writer and entertain you guys with a better story.
Chapter 1
"Grace Kingsley," Jessi explained to a clearly confused Amanda. "It says here that she's Kyle's biological mother!"
Amanda didn't understand. "Do you know her?" she asked.
"No but Kyle and I are pretty sure that she's Cassidy's mother." Jessi said.
"So that means …" Amanda summed it up, "Kyle and Cassidy are brothers."
"I can't believe he's related to that murderer." Jessi hissed.
"Murderer?" Amanda asked puzzled. "Are we talking about the same Cassidy? The British guy?"
"Yes him," Jessi replied with hate in her voice.
"Well how's he a murderer?" Amanda asked totally unaware of what happened to Sarah.
Jessi felt extremely sad just thinking about it. Amanda watched Jessi's face as she very obviously tried to hold back the tears. "Jessi," she said consolingly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Now let's get all the files and copy this data and go back home." As soon as they copied everything Nate had on his computer, Jessi used her strength to smash the computer and destroy the hard drive totally freaking out Amanda.
As they walked down the stairs Amanda had a question for Jessi. "Hey Jessi? How did you get here so fast. I mean Nate interrogated me for maybe 10 minutes before he called Cassidy and you showed up like a minute after that. But it takes me around 25 minutes to drive here."
"I drove really fast," Jessi simply said.
"But to get here that fast you'd have to be doing on average 150 mph." Amanda replied.
"I know," Jessi said like it was no big deal. What she didn't tell Amanda was that she also used her abilities to manipulate the electric current in the traffic lights so she could get all greens.
Amanda rolled her eyes and said "Jessi most cars on the road can't even go that fast. Especially the cars that Steven and Nicole drive"
"That one can though," Jessi said pointing as soon as she and Amanda walked out of the building.
Amanda stared for a good ten seconds before she burst out laughing. Parked right on the lawn the door open and the engine still running was Josh's car.
"I made some improvements to it," Jessi explained.
"Well why did you park it right on the lawn?" Amanda asked while getting in.
Jessi simply answered "There was no time to find a parking spot. Or take the stairs. So I left the car here on the lawn and jumped into that window up there which was open at the time. Then I just ran out of that person's room into the hallway until I found Nate's dorm number."
"Ummm…right," Amanda said. Jessi was clearly messing with her and it annoyed her. But then again she had just seen Jessi break down a door, hold up a big man by the throat with one hand, and destroy a computer with her bare hands. Maybe she could jump into a second story window. "You really did that?" she asked her.
"Yeah," Jessi said.
Not sure whether to believe her or not Amanda tried to strike up a conversation, "Well believe it or not I actually saw someone jump down from a two story house without getting hurt at all," she said.
"Was it Kyle?" Jessi asked her.
"How did you know?"
"Kyle and I can do a lot of the same stuff," Jessi replied.
"What do you mean?" Amanda asked very curious.
"I think Kyle would want to tell you all this himself," Jessi said simply ending the conversation. Neither one of them said anything more for the rest of the ride.
Meanwhile back in the Trager house…"I'm your brother…" Cassidy managed to choke out.
Kyle was shocked. He thought about it for a split second. That's all the time he needed for his highly developed brain to process it. It was definitely feasible that Grace Kingsley could be his genetic mother. Of course she didn't give birth to him but just like Jessi was created from Sarah's and Brian Taylor's DNA he could have been created from Adam and Grace's. But what did it matter anyway? As far as Kyle was concerned he only had one true brother and that was Josh Trager. Cassidy and him might have shared some genes but they were nothing alike. Cassidy had threatened to hurt Amanda, the Tragers, and Jessi until she wished she really had died… not to mention he actually killed Jessi's mother and caused her a great deal of pain. No the hell with genetics he would never consider Cassidy his brother.
"Even if you are, it doesn't change anything," Kyle said as he tightened his grip on Cassidy's throat. "You're not going to hurt anyone ever again…"
"Kyle wait!" Kyle turned around to see Jessi and Amanda standing behind him. In all his rage he hadn't even heard their heartbeats.
"Kyle please, you're not like him don't stoop to his level no matter what he said he would do!" Amanda pleaded with him.
Jessi pondered the scene in front of her. Just a few hours ago she wanted to do the same thing to Cassidy. Ever since she found out that he killed Sarah she had dreams of grabbing him by the throat exactly how Kyle was holding him now, exactly how she held that camper…NO! I can't this happen, she realized, I can't let him do this to himself. "Kyle listen to me, no matter how much I want him to die, no matter how much I want to kill him myself, I can't let you do this. Once you kill someone you can't go back. It will haunt you for a very long time trust me I know. You don't want to do this."
"But what about Sarah?" Kyle asked stunned. If anyone should be supporting this it should be Jessi. Cassidy killed her mother before she barely got a chance to get to know her, Kyle thought to himself.
Jessi swallowed hard. Someday, she promised herself, she would deal with Cassidy and get her revenge. But not now and not here, definitely not with Kyle around. Jessi felt incredibly guilty that somehow she had been a bad influence on Kyle. The Kyle she was used to would never have came that close to killing someone. "I know what he did. But Kyle you killing him is not going to bring her back. And at first I thought at least it would make me feel better but now I don't think it will." Jessi lied to him. She didn't want to corrupt him anymore. She didn't want to ruin his innocence.
Amanda didn't want Kyle to turn into a killer either. She put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Two wrongs never make a right Kyle. Whatever he's said or done killing him is not the answer. Let's call the cops, let them deal with him. Please…"
Kyle let go of Cassidy who started gasping for air as he was allowed to breathe again. Jessi immediately punched him in the face and broke his jaw.
Kyle then called the cops and Cassidy was arrested for breaking and entering. Kyle wished there was some way he could prove to them that he was also a murderer but the only evidence was in Jessi's head. Unfortunately Cassidy would get away with that heinous crime. He would serve a much shorter punishment than what he deserved. The Tragers then came home extremely worried Kyle had already called them up on and explained to them that his text message to meet at The Rack was actually Cassidy and everything that happened afterwards. But of course he didn't tell them that Cassidy had threatened to hurt and kill them, he didn't want to worry them.
"Oh my god Kyle, Jessi, are you guys alright?" Nicole asked frantically while hugging them as the rest of the Tragers ran inside the house. They all froze when they saw the patio doors.
"Dude…what the hell happened here?" Josh finally asked. Kyle looked down embarrassed and answered "I punched him… and he went through the door. I'll buy a new one."
"Wait a minute, you actually hit someone?" Lori asked astonished. It seemed that even Kyle had limits. "You actually hit somebody?"
"And he went flying through the patio doors!" Josh said with a big smile on his face. "Bro you've earned major cool points for this. You were cool before but now…"
"Well I knocked out Nate and saved Amanda," Jessi chimed in. She saw how impressed Josh and Lori were with Kyle's act of violence and wanted to impress them herself.
Amanda sighed and shook her head at what she saw as Jessi being immature. But Kyle smiled. Jessi was like a little kid who loved being the center of attention. He knew it was because she was neglected for most of her short life by her previous guardians Emily and Brian who wanted to use her for their own purposes. He remembered how she desperately tried to impress her classmates with all those stunts… She shouldn't care so much what other people think about her, he thought to himself.
But unlike Josh and Lori, Nicole was most certainly not impressed. Of course she understood that Kyle had to defend himself. But still she felt sad. Finally it had happened. Kyle lost his child like innocence. He was lying, breaking rules, and now finally he committed his first act of violence.
"Thank god this is all finally over," she said. "Maybe now we can finally go back to being a normal family again."
"Yeah" Steven agreed, "we've had enough adventures for a lifetime in these past two years. I'm ready for things to get boring again," he said with a smile.
Josh shook his head and said "Uh…I don't think that's ever going to happen with two pod-children living in our house. But still it would be nice to know that there's no more guys out there who have beef with Kyle. I mean first there was Zyzzyx, then Madacorp, then Latnok…you got anymore enemies we should know about buddy?"
Kyle was quiet for a few seconds and then he said "Latnok is still around and so is Grace Kingsley. I don't know if she's going to be a problem."
"Bro I'm telling you," Josh said excitedly, "Just get your pal, Tom Foss, to assassinate them! I mean you have an ex special forces guy as your body guard. Why don't you just take the leash off and let him do what he's trained to do? Latnok is nothing more than a secret society of super nerds. They're no match for him!"
Kyle smiled. Josh always provided the comic relief in these kinds of tense situations.
