Author's note: How many people read these things anyway? Well…I enjoy things from the authors so…I'll write anyway. If you don't like it then you can just skip this paragraph. It's Psycho Chan again, and I'm here to say…shoot…what was it…um…umm…I'm sorta addicted to drama…mostly because I watch too much crime shows…mostly being Law and Order…my favorite is Special Victims Unit…which is why in my stories Francis is often a hooker…he'd make such a hot hooker…hell, I'd rent him…yessss I would……just read and ignore me.

Chapter Two: The Truth will Set you Free…NOT

Two teens hang out at an abandoned gas station after school, one of them irritated. That one being Virgil Hawkins. He had liked two girls in his life. Frieda, who had only thought of him as a really good friend. And Daisy, who had tried to get a relationship with him…only that ended in disaster. Just earlier today, the two girls had announced their intimate relationship to their bust friends, Virgil and Richie. Virgil had been irritated since then. "I can't believe Daisy and Frieda are together now…well…" The dark skinned boy lays on the couch in a lazy slump, sending up dust. "I guess I can…at least now I know why I never got anywhere with Daisy."

A chuckle escapes his blonde friend, who is building something new for Gear. "You never got anywhere with Daisy because you always ditch her on your dates."

"That wasn't my fault. Not like criminals are gonna take the day off so I can go on a date."

"Not to mention when it comes to being close to the other sex you get nervous and jittery. When it comes to you being intimate you not only have no clue…you need to grow some balls." Richie laughs. When ever Virgil was with Daisy, she totally dominated him. Not doubt about it. She wore the pants.

"Hey…I have plenty of balls…" Virgil mumbles in defense. Considering I lost my virginity a few hundred feet in the air on a small piece of metal…

"Right. Outside of being Static? As Virgil, you have no balls."

"Shut up."

"You can't even kiss a girl." Richie continues to tease his friend as revenge for when he had started dating Tony. The moment Ferret came out of his mouth, Virgil busted out laughing.

"I could if I was sure I wouldn't get slapped…" Again with his humor.

"No you wouldn't." The lighter skinned man can no longer hold in his laughter. "You'll be a virgin for a while if not forever."

"For your information I'm not a virgin." Virgil regrets letting out that fact. The moment Rich stops laughing, the other man knows he'd regret it. Richie does not let things go.

"Seriously?"

"Yes…seriously…"

"You?"

"I hate you some days…you know that?" Unlike his friend, Virgil is not amused.

"…With who?"

Oh shoot… Virgil was not going to lie to his best friend, but he sure as hell was not going to tell him the truth either. That'd be stupid. "That's none of your business."

"Then in my book, you're a virgin."

"I'm not telling you who I lost it to. Think what you want." Virgil crosses his arms defiantly.

"You know only two girls, Daisy and Frieda. Well, unless you were Static then you could get any fan girl."

Agitated by his friend's lack of faith in him, Virgil sighs. "I know other girls…"

"No…you don't…Shenice? There's Talon, AquaMaria, Madeline…Shiv…" (I can't spell that girl's name…She-Bang's other identity…I suck at spelling as much as writing)

"Haha…Very funny." Virgil rolls his eyes. But I'm almost positive Shiv has guy parts…"But…it wasn't a chick…"

Richie blinks…and blinks again. There is a lot of silence and blinking. Then sudden laughter from the blue eyed boy.

"Shut it Rich."

The boy keeps his laughter. "You can't even keep a hetero relationship. I can't imagine you doin' a guy."

"I swear I will walk out of here and never speak to you again if you don't stop laughing."

The threat worked, as the laughter dies down to uncontrollable giggles then snickering. "So…who'd you do?"

"Nobody…I was the designated female." Virgil's face glows red at admitting that yet again.

"It fits." The boy now has a hard time holding in his giggles. The moment he sees the blush on his best friend's face his eyes tear up. "Sorry…so…" Wiping tears, Richie tries to calm down. "So who fucked you?"

"I don't think I should tell you."

"Why not? I'm your best friend."

"Cuz you're already about to die of laughter…then again. Maybe if I told you you actually would."

"Har har. You laughed pretty damn hard when you heard about Ferret."

"That was different…You're actually dating him…I lost my virginity in a one time thing a couple hundred feet in the air…"

"Oh…" Richie regrets teasing his friend. Getting used for sex hurt. Especially if it was your first time, which one usually wants to be special and memorable. Something to tell your kids at an appropriate time. "Why? It's kind of hard to rape you on a 3 ½ foot disc…"

"He was…persuasive…" Yeah…that was the word.

"How 'persuasive' can he be to get a straight man to sit on his cock?" Rich was wondering the math on this.

"I'm not a virgin anymore…how persuasive do you think he was?"

"…what'd he do?"

"He was persistent…he kept touchin' me…"

"…" Now it was the question Virgil wanted to avoid. "Who was he?"

"…HotStreak" was mumbled under the dark man's breath.

"Huh?!" Virg is silent. "For real? Francis!?"

"If it wasn't true you think I would've said it?"

"Jesus Christ…Why'd you let him do it?" Richie was really questioning the math here. Virgil hated that man. For bulling him, for trying to kill him on a number of occasions, and for giving Static more trouble than he can handle.

"I said he was being persistent!" Virgil screams. "I donno why!" if this were an anime, Virgil's head would fill up the room as he screams at the blonde, who would be a teeny tiny dot, cowering in fear.

There is yet another silence, which just seem to be following these two today. Then Richie burst out laughing again, surprising the other hero. "You lost your virginity to HotStreak!!" Oh cruel irony…

Beyond angry, Virgil grabs a magazine on the table, rolls it up and whacks Richie up side the head, knocking his glasses out of place. "SHUT UP!!" The man falls to the ground laughing harder than ever. "I Hate you Richie!! I'm never gonna tell you stuff again!!"

The man on the ground starts to cry. "O-okay…okay…It's okay. Not like it'll happen again."

"Doesn't mean I need you harassing me about it."

With a deep breath, the blonde speaks again. "Okay…does that mean you're gay?"

"Well…I liked it…so I guess so…not like I've been with a chick…"

Snickering at the last part, Richie gets back up. "Okay…"

You suck Rich…

Richie clears his throat. "Good luck with that."

"Thanks…" Sarcasm if you didn't get it.

"It's just hard to imagine you gay…"

"Just hush already…"

"Hard to imagine you with a girl too…"

"I hate you…I hate you so much Richie…" Virgil sulks into the sofa.

"Bright side, at least nobody saw you."

With a heavy sigh, Virgil nods. "That's one good thing…"

"Yes…Yes it is…" Richie returns to his work.

Virgil was left to his thoughts again. About his bad feeling about Francis. Something wasn't right. He acted so carefree…so collected. But as Static flew him back to Dakota…after they had sex, Francis was actually quiet. Virgil thought about asking the red head some questions. Like about he knew how do to that so well, about the stains on his shirt, and if he were gay himself…but thought better of it. It wasn't his business. Instead of bringing the man to jail, Static dropped him off in the abandoned part of Dakota Fields. Without a word from either boy, they parted. No threats, no attacking, no abuse, nothing. HotStreak just left, looking at the ground as he walked away as if ashamed. And then there was that thing HotStreak had said.

'God you're beautiful'

People just don't say stuff like that out of the blue. Especially with men like HotStreak. He had whispered that onto Virgil's skin. With such meaning and passion. Maybe the man did mean it. Maybe he even liked the hero…

That'd never happen…

It's about this time Virgil decides once an for all to figure the other man out. Figure out his life and how he lives it. Maybe figure out why he does the things he does. Silently, Virgil decides to learn about Francis Stone, starting with his family.
