Johnny woke up the next morning feeling very pleased with himself; Grace showered then dressed and left so Johnny decided to go to one of his favourite bike stores. He was checking out the new leather jackets and the cutie behind the counter when something slammed into his gut.
Looking down Johnny saw a young girl barrel past him, living life on the edge had given Johnny fast reflexes that and living with his older sister Sue so Johnny reached out and grabbed the girl. Peter the manger strode over "hand over while I call the cops" he thundered "hey Pete there is no need I'll pay for it" Johnny offered "Storm?" Peter asked confused. The deal was done and the crime forgotten, so Johnny marched the young girl out of the store and into the street.
"Why did you steal a pair of bike gloves?" Johnny asked "Duh because I ride a bike" she quipped "what is your name, I'm Johnny" he tired "Storm I know, you broke the record last Tuesday" she commented "an adoring fan?" Johnny asked. "No well not adoring" she admitted "the name's Rory" Johnny smiled he was finally getting somewhere "aren't you supposed to be in School?" Johnny asked remembering the times he skipped "aren't you supposed to be at work?" she sarcastically asked.
Johnny took the girl to his bike, "you wanna ride?" he asked "I not going home" she whispered "ok see ya later" Johnny called as he sped off. Rory walked around then she finally trudged home only to receive a slap in the face and then later when she didn't clean up faster she got knocked to the floor.
Later Johnny called Grace too se why she was late, they were supposed to have diner then the next they were going to see 'Devil' a motocross company whose founder Derek 'Devil' Matthews a champion racer form when Johnny was in his teens.
Grace sighed in regret as she told Johnny that she had too much homework and when he complained she reminded him that she was trying to get her doctors degree. Johnny hung up and not wanting to give up the reservations went to dinner by himself and found a cute girl to eat dinner with. As he was going home alone to the girl's disappointment, he heard sobbing form an alleyway bending down to take a look he jumped back when the person run in the opposite direction and threw up.
"Hey man go easy on the bottle yeah" Johnny called and as he turned to leave he stood on a tattered shirt, a girls shirt "what the?" Johnny muttered in bewilderment "can I have my shirt back?" a timid voice asked. Stepping into the light Johnny Storm saw a young girl of average height, hair coloured with three different red or auburn streaks and tearful green eyes.
Being raised in a family heavily dominated by his grandmother because his father was a doctor, Johnny had learnt always to respect and be chivalrous to woman as a result Johnny Storm loved women! So he slipped of his brown jacket and slipped it around her shoulders and asked her where her address was. The young woman tired to refuse the coat but Johnny held firm "I not going home" she seethed, hearing that voice Johnny realised that this was the girl form the other day at the bike shop.
Rory felt to weak to argue and Johnny was a smart talker plus he was cute so Rory allowed him to walk her home, when they got to his building however something was stopping them "I see you are a real player" the girl with a cute butt form the restaurant spit at Johnny. "Oh no she's my daughter that's why I'm going home alone" Johnny covered the shaky lie with his famous smile. "You told me it was because work" she screeched, claiming a family emergency Johnny hurried Rory inside and got her to his apartment.
Rory took a shower and puled on her pants and bra, hearing the water stop Johnny told her that his girlfriend Grace has some clothes here if she wanted to borrow a shirt, "Your girlfriend um no thanks" Rory muttered "What? Oh, don't worry there clean because she doesn't spend that much time wearing them" Johnny smirked. Johnny went and grabbed a white one because he figured that white was good for everyone right?
Rory gulped down the microwave dinner that Johnny ate when his stock of family or Grace given dinners wore out, "tell me why you were in that alleyway" Johnny said his eyes unusually stern. Rory started to sob putting her head in her hands "my uncle he doesn't like me" she cried. "Well Yeah I can see that" Johnny joked but it fell flat, "he blames me for my parents death and wants me to be a nun" Rory informed him stifling her sobs Johnny handed her a tissue. After he had cleaned her wounds being in a lot of high school brawls had taught him some basics of first aid. Rory feel asleep on the couch.
The next morning Johnny crept out and seeing that Rory was still asleep he grabbed the bus pass out of her pocket and jumped out the window "flame on!" he cried as always then glanced behind to see if she was awake laughing to himself he flew over and seeing that the only other occupant of the rundown house was snoring a drunken stupor Johnny flew though an open window and shoved things out of draws into bags. Johnny was glad he knew so much about women and couldn't resist a chuckle when he opened her underwear draw, Johnny flew out the window thinking how much easier it was to sneak in to girls houses when he could fly but arriving on his motorbike was just well hotter.
