Chapter 1: My good luck
It was a typical morning. The new alarm waking him at exactly 8:18am and promptly being smashed against the bedside table. I dunno why i buy these things, all i do is break them and get conned at the store for a cheap knock off.
The six foot four, muscle built eighteen year old stumbles out of bed and towards his Ipod and presses play to blast out the tunes of the 90's. "They just don't make them like the old bands." With Blurs Song 2 playing through the small house he throws on a Gorillaz t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. The tired teen walks into the kitchen to prepare a meal fit for a freshman, two pop tarts and a glass of milk.
It was a surprise that he found the house for the price it was, living in Go city for students is a nightmare usually ending in a shared house with some bandwagon boy/girl band wannabe wanting to make a big impact on the world, especially in the medical course i choose for some reason. You see I hate company. Since the incident I've always have and will be a "loner" why have someone pulling you down or stabbing you in the back both literally and metaphorically. Those times are over and wont be catching up to me unless they crawl six feet up and have a god damn good soppy apology for me.
Me, I just want to get by and stay out of trouble. Well the last one is what i used to tell my parents half way across the world in the land of tea, biscuits, dodgy politics and the scum of the upper class. Truth is I never back down from a fight and always win with next to no injuries but when i get a nasty cut or a busted lip it heals in a day with no evidence that it was ever there. Its a curse in some way because I cant flash my hard man scars to the women at Go university Cause that always works with girls... Dumb-ass
With breakfast ate and some type of clothing being worn it was time for the trek to the uni grounds with backpack over one arm and baseball cap on.
Wonder who's at the door this time to lecture me
About a mile away from the university and the slow walk with detours purposely included will let him arrive after the theory lesson and just in time for cutting some unlucky guy open. But first the detour, Bob's liquor store. "Hey Doris, you know what to do." The middle aged al-Capone lookalike demanded
"Another hit in the same month, I already gave you your god-damn protection money last week" the elderly clerk yelled
My good luck strikes again, I walk into the store to pick up the six pack of Strongbow lager to drown myself in during the final lecture. "
Hey Doris, how you - who's this freak?"
"Please don't start Louis" Doris pleaded
"Watch your tone boy, or I'll teach you a lesson in manners" al-Capone steps forward cracking his knuckles.
"Oh didn't know you sold to low life's like him, well how about you get lost before something bad happens"
The thugs hand works its way into the pocket of the cheap leather jacket while I spoke and is now slowly waving the knife in front of me. Doris, out of sight presses the panic button alerting the newly re-joined Team Go that there's going to be trouble, and probably a dead or dying teen in her shop.
"Calm do-" the thug launches forward knife thrusted forward, I easily side step the attack and throw my arms behind the stumbling man and guide him through the newly built beer pyramid. The man jumps up and swipes at my leg cutting the jeans and some skin. I flinch back and place a powerful fist into his chin sending him into the air before landing a powerful kick to his gut propelling him forward into the window and the hard concrete below.
"Look I said calm down"
"Fuck you, you... Oh shit"
The team go jet hovers above the road and the team of misfits land on the empty street. From above it looked like the man being beaten and thrown through a window was the victim and the teen standing over the man kicking his back was the villain.
Hego being the leader shouts for the teen to stop and come peacefully. But as you might off guessed I don't like being told what to do and well, its Team Go, it could be fun.
"Pfft, I dunno I do like beating this guy" empathised with a swift stamp to his side.
"Look we out number you and over power you" Hego explained signalling the others to step forward, the new/old member Shego taking an extra step.
"Hmm well when you put it that way, I'll just continue and see how long I can last against the only real threat Shego. Then again i bet she misses the old life" wonder when i will tell them I'm not the bad guy... I'll give it a bit
The Wego's attack first running forward at high speeds exposing near enough every part of there body for an easy take-down. Louis ducks the first fist and knocks the second to the side while performing an altered rugby tackle to take down two targets instead of one. When down he delivers two quick punches knocking the Wego twins out. Louis finds a stray glass shard on the floor and throws it into the advancing Hego's leg knowing that the cut inflicted would cause no real damage due to there healing capabilities. Hego swiftly fell to the floor tripping Mego up in the process, landing straight on his face he decides to stay down and let his sis take on the boy. Getting up of the knocked out Wego's Louis stares at Shego.
"Well that's your stupid brothers out of the picture, don't make me have to hurt a beautiful girl like you."
Did he just call me..
"My brothers aren't the hardest of opponents, me on the other hand like to do it a bit more on the violent side." Lighting her hands with the green glow of plasma.
"So you gonna back down and go so i can get back to doing nothing?"
"Why would I be that easy" Standing still looking Shego up and down for a minute.
"Well what you waiting for" asked Shego
"Just wondering what I should call you. What about Kermit?" Louis teased, Shegos plasma around her arms got wider.
hmm I wonder how much it takes for her to use it
"Or what about... Emerald or Em for short. Its not insulting but it has a nice ring to it, but only if you're green everywhere" Louis winks teasing Shego making her blush
"Well ruby would be suitable for how your cheeks just turned all shades of red" Louis starts to slowly walk towards the green girl who must be around his age or slightly older. Getting just a few feet forward from the spot he was just in
"so how's the hero life? Finally becoming a good girl... Like that Kim"
"W-what NO, I'm not like that goody goody 'perfect' girl" Shego growled.
"I sense that you're jealous of her, i always did think she was holding back in your fights"
"ME. SHEGO JEALOUS OF HER, I WAS THE ONE HOLDING BACK" her eyes glowing like the plasma that surrounds her entire body.
Oh shit this could either hurt like hell, or i could die
Mego raises his head and yells at Shego to stop before she does something stupid. Shego starting to calm herself down makes Louis come out with one last comment
"Well its good to see they have you on a leash again" With those words spoken Shego throws everything she has at him, bombarding the 18 year old with the most powerful plasma she can create creating a large crater where Louis last stood. She only stopped when Hego tackled her to the floor fearing of the fate of the Wegos knowing that all that could be left would be a pile of ashes, thankfully the Wegos noticed there sister glowing as bright as a second sun and scrambled into the store. Shego coming to terms with the life she just took crawled the short distance forward to the edge of the hole in the road peeking over the edge to see what damaged had been done.
"Well that hurt, nice to see you Em" apart from the gasps from Hego and Mego, Louis only heard the passed out Shego bang her head on the tarmac.
