Wow... already thanks for the support of those who are reading and/or have favorited, reviewed and followed. Anyway, here's the first chapter of Inevitable. What I also forgot to mention, was that I write for other fandoms too (mainly Pair of Kings) and I really don't have an update schedule, so I update when I have time and inspiration. Also, if there is anything you don't recognize or isn't said in the series, I'm making it up for the convenience of the plot that needs to keep moving. And now, review time!

littlemisschatterbox13: Well, thanks for the review and here is the next chapter!

Okay, I'm trailing of here… So, how to begin this?

I wasn't there so I can't tell you what… Wait, I got it! No, I don't… Hmpf… Oh yeah, I do!

So, I er… Tecton didn't go on guard duty, sent NeoCortex over and since he don't wanna talk about what happened that night, I can't help you if you want details. Also, this ain't an interrogation.

But I do remember that the day when they wheeled NeoCortex in at the Mighty med, when we had to avoid our Normo friends, Gus and Jordan, because they kinda followed us around after leaving for Mighty Med.

That Friday, Kaz and Oliver were attending school, as usual. Skylar couldn't be there, because she had a check-up at Mighty Med, but she wouldn't miss anything special with those teachers trying to make them learn stuff. Trying, since Kaz didn't pick up much in each class.

Anyway, history and chemistry quickly went by and soon there was a small ten-minute break in which Kaz and Oliver met up at their lockers. But as they walked to their lockers, who lay next to each other, they noticed Gus and Jordan were waiting there – waiting for them to arrive, probably.

"Hey guys." Kaz greeted them, and Gus quickly replied 'hey' while Jordan just gave them a small smile before announcing why they were at the lockers of their friends. Off course, they were here most of the time at school, but because Kaz and Oliver knew Jordan well, they knew she didn't come here just to talk to them until next period began.

"Have any of you two seen Connie today?" she asked, and Kaz and Oliver looked at each other. They dropped her off at the hospital, so she wouldn't mistake any earthy customs for villain stuff or something; they just walked with her to the hospital that morning and then straight went to school. But since they couldn't tell anyone about Mighty Med, they had to lie about Skylar again.

They didn't like lying to their only friends in the entire school.

"We spoke to her through the phone," Oliver said, "or rather, we spoke her father. She caught the flu and so can't go to school." They had agreed that, if anybody asked and if they had to lie, they let Oliver do it. It was also Oliver who made up that rule, since Kaz had the tendency to use fire as a lie too often. They would know when he was lying, but they wouldn't know if Oliver spoke the truth or not. This time, Gus and Jordan seemed to buy it.

"Wish her a good recovery, if you get the chance," Gus said, and Oliver nodded. Jordan noticed how Kaz pulled his phone out of his pocket, and did something that looked like reading a message. Neither Oliver nor Gus saw Kaz doing it, but Jordan had seen it clearly, although she didn't know what was in the message.

"Okay, we will." Oliver said. After reading the message, Kaz nudged Oliver with his shoulder and showed his friend the message. Oliver gave it a quick glance, nodded, and started packing their homework for next week. But, since they had at least five more periods, it didn't seem logical why they were packing to leave already. In fact, they've already been leaving for the last months, in which they sometimes seemed to leave school earlier. And somehow, the teachers were completely fine with it. And Jordan wouldn't be Jordan if she didn't think this was suspicious.

"Hey, where are you going?" she asked, and again it was Oliver who answered.

"To Connie's. She needs our help with science," they were all ready to leave, but Jordan kept them at Logan High for a bit longer.

"Can't this wait for after school?" she asked, and this time, Kaz tried to create a reliable lie to make sure their leave was legitimized. But before he said anything, the two friends looked at each other once again, acting very suspicious.

"No, this can't wait for after school," Kaz replied, "Because now she is feeling well enough to actually do it. If we go after school, she might feel too ill to do it, so we gotta go. It's urgent!" With these words, the two friends started to run out of school. Not much later, Jordan walked at a fast pace to the door.

"What are you doing?" Gus asked her. She turned around to face the guy she hated most, and he could tell she was mad. Mad at Kaz and Oliver for not telling her what really was going on. He could tell, because he knew Jordan too well to know she wasn't just going to stand there and let Kaz and Oliver be.

"I'm going after them and I'll make them tell them why they keep skipping classes!" she shouted and went through the door as Gus watched the girl left the building. For just a few seconds, Gus considered all possibilities that could occur if he went with Jordan, and if he didn't, what would happen if they found Kaz and Oliver, and when they didn't. He came after these few seconds to the conclusion he should better follow Jordan rather than staying and risk her getting mad at him for not supporting her, even though she didn't like him as a friend or even acquaintance.

They ran into the hospital – they did slow down to casually walk in – and walked into the janitor's closet, entering the Mighty Med through the only door known to them. They suspected there might me more, but for now, that one should do. Soon, they found their coats and immediately went over to Horace's office.

"I just hope Jordan and Gus are okay with us leaving again," Oliver said, and Kaz nodded. He hoped the same.

"Relax! They'll be fine! Actually, they should get used to it by now we have lesser time to hang with them. Or go to school overall." Kaz replied, and the rest of the walk to Horace's office continued silently. Only when they had reached his office and were about to knock on the door, Horace himself came already out.

"Guys!" Horace greeted, "we've got an emergency. Great you got here so quickly." As they walked through the halls to the hero that needed saving, the three kept a conversation going about their newest patient.

"Who is it?"

"It's NeoCortex." As soon as Horace mentioned the psychic hero's name, Kaz saw how guilt came across his best friend's face. He still felt guilty that he almost exploded him, and while NeoCortex seemed to have a grudge on him for doing that, Oliver just wanted to be forgiven because he was more like Kaz when it happened, so not really himself.

"What happened to him now?" Kaz wondered.

"This time, he didn't watch funny videos online," Horace confirmed, "in fact, nobody really knows what happened except for NeoCortex himself! We found him at the roof of the bank, unconscious. I hope you can figure out what happened to him so we can heal him as soon as possible." As Horace said these last words, the two entered the operation room to find NeoCortex lying on a gurney, not moving except his chest, implying that he still is breathing. Horace gave them five minutes to find out what happened to the hero – originally three, but then they were pressured too much which could lead to disasters.

After inspecting all body parts without actually touching the hero, Oliver found out this was a rather strange case. "This is weird. There are no signs he's fought!" Kaz laughed it away.

"There has to be! C'mon, he can't have psychic side-effects– he's immune to telepathically sent attacks anyway."

"Just look at it! Do you see any bruise, cut or even blood?" Oliver asked his best friend, and Kaz shrugged, walking over to the legs of the psychic hero.

"No, I haven't, but c'mon! Even without those, he can still be hurt! No, I'm not talking about mental attacks, but something like…" at that point, he had moved his weight from his hands over to NeoCortex' right leg and had pressed it a tiny bit, yet it appeared to be hard enough for the hero to stir and groan in pain. Oliver looked at Kaz. "Something like that," Kaz finished his previous sentence.

Apparently Horace has heard that groan all the way to there, because the second the groan escaped from NeoCortex' mouth Horace entered the operation room, acting all worried, as he always was when it came to heroes. "So, what did you find out?" he almost immediately asked.

"Well, three things. He apparently has no signs he fought someone, he close to waking up and this leg needs to be fixed, because I think it's broken." Kaz informed him. Horace looked like he was

"I'm not a Normo doctor!"

"But you can heal a broken leg, right?" Oliver insisted.

"I can't, but there's someone who can! Thanks for the help, guys! Now, Mr. Quick has some trouble with stopping. He's in the training room." With these words, he dismissed the two boys from the operation room. The two Normos were actually still not high enough in rank to actually be there when they performed the surgery, and many of these heroes didn't really want to have Normos cut open their bodies for help – no, they'd rather be awake and sure those boys didn't mess up anything.

When they walked out and a team of specialized people walked in, the two best friends noticed how Tecton was waiting outside, leaning against the wall and absolutely not making any effort to leave any time soon. Kaz tapped Oliver's shoulder, and when Oliver turned around, he also saw the hero standing there. They both knew he was released only a few hours ago, and didn't like hanging around in places where he didn't need to be, so why he stayed, was for them a mystery.

"What's he still doing here?" Kaz thought out loud. Oliver shrugged.

"Let's ask him. Hey, Tecton!" When the hero heard his name, he turned his head to the source of the sound. "I heard you were released earlier this day. It's good you're feeling better."

"Well, thanks." He flashed a smile at them before his facial expression turned all serious again. Kaz and Oliver sensed there was something wrong with him, and that he worried. Because of their comic books and everything they know about their favorite heroes and villains, they were able to detect that emotion so easily.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" Kaz asked.

"I'm fine. Just waiting for news on Cortex." Now they knew what was bothering the hero, and why he wouldn't leave. He was feeling guilty about something that had something to do with NeoCortex, and now waited until he could talk to him and apologize or do whatever he wanted to do, as long as it wasn't too gross. They went away, leaving Tecton in peace and went to the training room. On the outside, they could already here someone was running around there at a high speed, and it wasn't slowing down at all.

At such times, Kaz and Oliver wondered why they had to do all those things the other doctors couldn't do and when was assumed the two Normos could handle it.
