H.A.: hey here's chapter two.

Dislaimer: i do not own Static Shock.

Warning: OOCness but i'll to keep in character.


Krystal smiled, "So you guys do know each other. Great! That means that you guys can help me take care of him."

Static rubbed the back of his head, "Well you see. We do know him but-"

"It's not in a friendly way," Gear intervened.

Krystal became crestfallen, "Oh those kind of relationships. Well, do you two know if he has any family members?"

Static nodded, "Yeah. He has a little brother named Adam. We'll get him if you want."

Krystal smiled, "That would be helpful."

"I'll get him," said Gear. "You just stay in case Ebon wakes up."

"Good idea," replied Static.

With that Gear left and took off.


Talon was guarding the new hideout for the Meta-Breed when her new boss, Robert, came out.

"Talon," he said in a smooth voice, "why don't you come down and join us?"

"I'm fine," she replied, "I'm just standing guard."

Robert shrugged, "The next robbery we're going to wait till Static and Gear show up so they know who they are dealing with now."

Talon nodded, "Understood."

Robert had an evil look in his eyes as he advanced toward her. He pulled her to him in a rough fashion and slammed his lips onto hers. She tried to pull away but he had her in a vice-like grip.

'You know,' he said to with his mind, 'I just love women that understand authority.'

Talon bit down on his tongue hard. When he let her go, she clawed him.

He smirk, "And one that is fiesty."

He walked away and Talon collapsed, crying.

"Ebon," she sobbed, "I hope you are alright. I prefer having you as a boss than that monster."


Gear returned with the Rubberbandman ten minutes after he left. When the Rubberbandman saw Ebon, he froze.

"What happened to him?" he asked.

Brandon, who was eating in the kitchen, replied, "Our cousin, Robert, beat the crap out of him and left him for dead."

"Brandon!" yelped Kaitlyn,who was changing the bandages on Ebon, "You should talk like that!"

"Sorry, little sis," apologized Brandon.

Krystel came downstair, "Good you made it."

Rubberbandman nodded, "What's wrong with Bro?"

Krystal folded her arms and had an angry look, "Broken ribs, ruptered stomach, two broken femurs, cracked skull, and a fractured spine. Nothing that we can't handle."

Static paled, "All that and he's still alive?"

Brandan nodded, "Yep, good Dragonbreath here found him three days ago or else he would have been toast."

Krystal drew her sword, "HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT?!"

Brandon squealed and ran. Krystal ran after him, ignoring Kaitlyn's pleas to stop. Gear, Rubberbandman, and Static scooted over towards Kaitlyn.

"Does this happen often?" asked Static.

Kaitlyn slumped, "Yes."

They heard a groan, "Someone tell Shiv to shut up. I have a splitting headache."

"Guys," Kaitlyn yelled at Krystal and Brandon who now had his tomahawks out, "guys, can you please stop?"

"I will when he says that he's sorry," replied Krystal.

"But he's awake," said Kaitlyn.

Krystal turned to them and nodded. She walked to them and knealede next to Ebon.

She asked in a serious voice, "Are you hurting anywhere?"

Ebon nodded,"Basicly everywhere."]

Krystal bit her thumb as Kaitlyn went to get refreshment for the heroes.

Brandon came up with some painkillers, "Here if these don't work than nothing will."

He gave them to Ebon who took them and popped them. Minutes later, he was asleep.

Krystal turned to the heroes, "You guys can stay if you like."

"Love to but we got to go," replied Static, "we got family to go to."

Krystal nodded, "Be safe."

They nodded and left. Brandon and Kaitlyn went upstairs to go to bed. Krystal looked at Ebon who was sleeping peacefully.

'So this is a living shadow?' she thought.

All of the sudden, Ebon appeared disturbed and afraid. He started to whimper and toss and turn. Krystal grabbed his hand and shushed him in a soothing voice. He immediately calmed down and tightened his hand that she was holding. When she became quiet he started to whimper again. She decided to talk to him and, sure enough, he became quiet. Krystal became angry.

'Damn you Robert,' she growled. 'You just have to torture him in his only safe haven. I bet you used the Nightmare Eye on him, didn't you?'


H.A.: Sorry if i made Ebon appear like a scaredy cat. but hey don't tell me that Ebon doesn't get nightmares cause no one's perfect.
