"You must fulfill your duties, Jade," he says, his eyes locked on Jade's.
God are his eyes soul piercing, Jade thinks. His eyes are a light blue with the intensity of a thousand suns. They're almost like a husky's.
"Yeah, yeah, I know…" Jade says, trying to match his intimidating death glare.
"Don't blow this off with some more of your teenage crap, Jade," he says. "This is serious work. If you want to take over for me when I die, you must…"
"I must be responsible and cooperative, blah, blah, blah. Come on, dad, I've heard this a million times," Jade says. "It's not so hard to be a super villain, you know. The Time King always announces his moves before he does them, dad. You can easily block them."
Jade's father shakes his head. "You don't understand, Jade. If I were to kill him, which I am perfectly able to do, his… His son would take over."
"Yeah? And what's so bad about this son of his, huh?"
Jade's father turns slowly. His strong back arches almost ashamedly. "He's your boyfriend, sweetie."
"Hey babe," Beck says, leaning downwards in order to kiss Jade's cheek. Jade feels his soggy lips touch her skin and almost shudders in disgust. She glances over at Cat, who seems to be looking as far away from the couple as possible.
"Hi," Jade says in the most cheery voice she can muster, which isn't cheery at all. Beck sits down next to her and wraps his arm around her. Jade ignores this motion and continues picking at her salad. Who knew the son of the toughest superhero in Los Angeles could be the epitome of a buffoon. Tori comes and sit next to Cat, blocking Jade's view of Cat's profile which she was so intently staring at. Jade almost growls. "Hi, Vega. Got any fascinating stories to tell us today?" she says.
Vega sighs. "I actually do. Do you know that kid Matt in my history class?"
"The cute one?" Cat asks. She looks at Jade in such a way to beg for forgiveness. Jade merely shrugs. Cat's eyes light up. She's glad she didn't hurt Jade.
"Yeah, him. You know what he told me today?"
"What?" Beck asks. Jade hates to hear his voice ring in her ears. Ever since she found out that the disgusting boy she was using as protection would soon be her arch enemy, she has hated even seeing him.
"He told me that I'm a creepazoid. What does that even mean? Is that even a legitimate insult?" Tori says.
"I don't know, Vega, maybe it was a compliment in the language of stupid you speak," Jade says.
Tori shakes her head. "You're even meaner than usual, Jade."
Cat, only becoming aware of Jade's low mood because of Tori's comment, suddenly looks up from her lunch. She stares at Jade, her chocolate brown eyes full of worry and concern.
"Cat? Bathroom. Now," Jade says. She storms off, and Cat follows worriedly.
When they reach the inside of the now empty school building, Jade takes Cat by the hand and leads her into the girls' bathroom. She grabs Cat and forcefully kisses her, taking in her scent of Cheerios and baby powder.
"Jade," Cat manages to mumble through Jade's forceful kiss. "Are you okay? You seem a little off today."
"Don't worry about it," Jade says. "Don't concern yourself with me. It'll only hurt you in the long run." Jade almost lets her true emotions show, but forces herself to keep strong. "Now lets get these jeans off, shall we?"
AN: Hey guys! I haven't been on in a while, but I'm back with a vengeance (and better writing skills)! This is totally different from the actual show, but hopefully you'll still enjoy. But don't worry, there'll be plenty of Cade to go around. ;)
