I've been getting a lot of inspiration for this story, so I might update it next, but I'm not sure right now. Still this took me FOREVER to finish and I'm not joking, it's 17 pages long, 17 ** pages long! Still it was worth it, oh and I didn't reread it, only because I did not want to reread over 17 pages. So yeah, hope you all like it either way :D

Chapter 3

The Past and Present

As Meredith, Logan, Silver, and Carla all stared into the center of the room; down the hall Bella and Miguel were thinking about what had happened earlier today. They had enjoyed the day, but something seemed off to them. As Bella though about how the day had changed it seemed strange, one minuet she couldn't stand Derek and yet when he had taken her into the flower garden it was as if everything was perfect. Bella loved to think about it, and yet at the same time she doesn't even want to think about it, since when it all came down to it, they would all just end up leaving anyway. "How can I even like that guy, he's probably already dated half of the girls in the school, and from the looks of it as he showed me around he wants to be more than friends, if we even were friends to begin with. How can I even feel this way about a guy I just met anyway?! I swear I either need therapy or something, but other than that I hope I never see that stupid Derek Aves ever again.' Bella thought as she glared at the wall.

Miguel was having just as hard of a time wondering why he felt something towards that Alice Aves girl. 'This doesn't make any sense, how can I even like that girl, half the time she showed me around she stared at me with… longing eyes? That makes no sense, I mean we had met by dropping to the floor, how can she even like me if she knows nothing about me?' Miguel started pacing around the room, as he thought about what had happened earlier. 'I don't even know a thing about her, and yet I feel as if I want to know more about her, what's wrong with me, I'm still in love with another girl who I can never see again, but still. This is so confusing; I just wish I knew the answer to my questions… I wonder if it's this city we're in?' Miguel stopped his pacing as he looked at his sister, who was still glaring at the wall; he sighed as he walked over to his sister and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey Bells,"

Bella looked at her brother who looked like he was debating on telling her something important by her guess. "What is it Miguel?"

"Something occurred to me just a moment ago, I think I'm crazy to say this, but I think it's the city that has changed us somehow. It doesn't make sense to me, and yet I think it does," Miguel sighed as he walked towards the door. "I'm gonna go for a walk sis, I'll be back later okay."

Bella sighed, "Okay, but just well be careful Miguel, and I don't want anything bad to happen to you." Bella half begged as she watched Miguel walk out the bedroom door, and then out the front door. Miguel ignored his parents and their friends as they looked into the center of the room, he never did understand what ever it was they were always looking at, but then again he never really did care so he just left and went for his walk.

As Miguel took the elevator down to the lobby-like area of the building, he looked around as he walked out and decided to try and find the park that he saw earlier that day. He needed to clear his head, and a walk was the best idea that he could think of, normally when he clear his head, he'd go for a ride on his bike, but he felt like slowing down a bit today for one reason or another. As Miguel walked down the streets, he wasn't paying any attention to where he was going, he didn't bump into anyone, but he didn't see that he was walking down one of the most dangerous streets in all of Miracle City.

Many vicious criminals grinned when they saw Miguel walk by, he was thinking a lot as he walked down the street and yet before he turned, someone stopped him, and gained his attention. The guy who had stopped him was tall and very muscular; he looked like one of those professional body builders or something like that, either way Miguel wasn't to happy about being forced to stop, he glared at the man who grinned back at him.

"What's the big deal in tripping me?" Miguel asked as he tried to get back up only to be pushed back down to the ground, or more like punched from his point of view. Miguel winced, but ignored the pain as he glared at the thug that was practically towering over him as he sat there on the ground.

"The big deal is kid that no one just walks down this street without a single scratch. This is the most badass street in the entire city, and we always welcome the new comers with nice warm welcome, right guys." He told Miguel as he looked over his shoulder at a bunch of other thugs in the street, who were all grinning at Miguel.

Miguel looked at all of the thugs and then at the guy in front of him, he had a bad feeling that he might not be coming home in one piece. Then again before they could even touch him for his luck the Miracle City police had just arrived, and who else to be with them other than the twin police chiefs Anita and Nikita Suarez. Both were glaring at the men who were about to try and kill Miguel, they soon ran off, trying to get away from all of the police officers who were storming the street, trying to catch as many thugs and crooks as they could.

Miguel looked at the policía officers who were catching everyone in the street, he sighed as he stood up and dusted himself off and walked over to the twin officers who were yelling out commands and finishing each others sentences every now and then. He walked up to them and tapped the short haired one's shoulder, she looked over at him for a second and then back at her men before she froze and looked back at Miguel taking a good, long look at him. When the long haired one didn't hear the other's voice she looked at her and saw that she was shocked, curious she looked and she was shocked too. For the boy they were looking at was practically a spitting image of … of him. Both shook their heads at the same time and went back to doing their job, Miguel would have jut shrugged it off and walked away, but he was curious to why they had stared at him.

It took only about ten minuets before all the officers were done catching the criminals and crooks that resided on the street; he smiled when the twin officers had finished speaking to their fellow officers, 'or coworkers, what ever you want to call them' Miguel thought idly as he walked towards the women who saved him. "Hey, I wanted to say thanks for saving me back there, I don't know what I would've done if you wouldn't have shown up." Miguel told the twins once he stopped in front of them. 'Then again if they hadn't of shown up I could have just kicked their sorry asses anyway.'

They looked at Miguel and soon had the same looks of shock that they had on before when they had looked at him earlier. He wanted to ask them what was with the looks on their faces, but they spoke before he could. "Who are you, and why were you walking down this street anyway?" They asked him, switching every other word or so as they spoke.

"I was just taking a walk, and I wasn't really paying much attention to where I was going, and I'm new to the city anyway, me and my family moved here just two days ago. We live in the penthouse on top of an apartment building named Casa Del Macho, and my name is Miguel… uh hello… are you two okay?" Miguel asked as the two officers in front of him were speechless and who looked like they were holding their breath for some reason or another.

"W-we a-are fine… and just so you know Miguel you might want to look where your walking from now on. On this day all the villains try to do as much evil as they can before tomorrow. So we have to take many patrols all around the city every year on this date, for many people still honor the memory of… two greatest kids in the entire city." They stuttered at first, but soon regained control of their composure as they spoke to Miguel, but it was hard to say the names they dare not speak aloud.

"My name is Anita Suarez and this is my twin sister Nikita Suarez, we are the police chiefs in this city. Will you come with us please Miguel, we can give you a ride home, if you'd like." Anita offered as she gestured to her and her sister's police car.

"Thanks, I wouldn't mind a ride home, thank you Ms. Suarez." Miguel shook her hand politely as he walked over to her police car. Nikita looked at her sister and she could swear that she was having the exact same thought as her. 'They may look similar but somehow he's like Frida… oh Frida… rest in peace where ever you are little sister…' The sighed after thinking about their little sister, and looked at Miguel, both were able to regain their composure just before Miguel looked at them from inside the police car. They soon walked the short distance and entered the car and started it up, as they drove towards Casa Del Macho, both twins were seeing memories of this place coming to them as they drove down the street. When their sister and her best friend had started dating, they'd drive her to his house, though she'd normally walk, when she asked them to drive her they were curious to why, until one day she told them.

Flashback…

"Thanks again for the ride you guys, I really appreciate it." Frida Suarez told her twin older sisters as she got out of the car.

"Hey Frida," Anita called to her before she walked into the building.

"What is it you guys?" Frida asked as she walked back to the car.

"Why do you have us drive you to your boyfriend's house when you can walk over here? We're just curious, that's all." They both asked at the same time.

She smiled as she shook her head, "The reason why I ask you guys to drive me to Manny's is because if dad knew where I was going he'd lock me in my room and bolt my window shut so I wouldn't sneak out to see my boyfriend. I trust you both enough to help me out, that's why, and even though you two can get under my skin and I can get under yours, I still love you two." Frida smiled at them, and they smiled back at her, they all hugged before they drove off, they had tears in their eyes.

Flashback Ends…

They soon sighed, that was the last time they ever saw their little sister… alive … after they dropped her off, something happened. If only they knew what, then maybe, just maybe they can finally be happy for their sister, because they know that no matter where she is, her best friend will always be by her side. As they were just about to stop in front of Casa Del Macho, they just got a call in, saying that the Flock of Fury was robbing the museum, while Django, Sartana and Alice of the Dead were at the Miracle City Bank, Anita and Nikita sent all officers who were by or near the museum there to try and stop the flock, while they went to try and take control of the situation at the bank. They had forgotten about Miguel as they were soon speeding towards the bank.

Miguel was surprised when they were leaving Casa Del Macho and to a different location, but he had overheard something about a bank robbery, so he remained quiet as they arrived at the bank, there were broken windows, and at least two police cars that were flipped over. Curious, Miguel got out of the car and decided to take a cautious look around. He snuck past the police and towards the bank, there was no one inside, which meant no hostages, so then why were they waiting around for something to happen? Then he Miguel got his answer, when he saw who was robbing the bank from peering inside the broken window he was in front of, there were three skeletal figures inside with a bunch of what looked like minions. The three who were in charge were yelling orders to the banditos to take something out of the vault, or to put something inside of it. He couldn't tell, but Miguel did want to get out of there before he could be spotted by anyone inside or outside, but he didn't have such luck.

There was a girl with short black hair that had what looked like purple highlights in it, she was inside the bank and she had seen Miguel. "Hey, just what do you think you're doing kid?" She called, and half yelled at Miguel.

"Mierda," Miguel cussed under his breath as he stood up tall and grinned at the skeletal girl. "Oh just walking by, why, what's it look like I'm doing."

She ran up to him and tried to get in his face but he grinned at her all the while she glared at him. "I think you're helping those policía officers out there, telling them what we're doing."

He just chuckle, "Please, I don't even know anyone in this city, me and my family just moved here two days ago bello." He winked at her, and Miguel would have sworn that if she had skin that the girl in front of him would be blushing deep red. 'Man I forgot how much fun it was to tease the girls like this, man its fun to be doing this again.' Miguel thought as he watched her stammering to find a decent comeback to his words, but just couldn't, most likely when he called her bello.

"Just leave now kid before I decide I want to kill you." She threatened after she regained her composure.

Miguel rolled his eyes, but before walking away he told her this, "By the way, the name's Miguel, and I hope I get to see you again bello."

She didn't react in any way, but Miguel decided not to look and see what was going on, he just continued to walk away. "By the way," She soon called after Miguel, "My name is Alice, and I hope to see you again too."

When Miguel heard her name, he wanted to see if it was the same Alice from earlier, but he chose no to. That was where the conversation had ended, but the other two skeletons had not been oblivious to the conversation. The male one, who had a black guitar on his back, had taken a look at the boy who his daughter was speaking to, and when he saw who it was. He could have sworn that if his heart was still beating, then he would've had a heart attack. When he looked at that boy, it was as if he was seeing… seeing him again, seeing his enemy who was at times his friend.

"Django are you okay?" The old skeleton asked as she placed her golden guitar on her back.

"I'm fine Nana; it's just that when I saw that kid… it was as if I was looking at Manny once more." Django sighed, while Sartana just shook her head from side to side.

She never did approve of her grandson having a Rivera as a friend, but when … that day came… she realized that she was hard on Django, he needed a decent friend, even if it his friend was one of her enemies. "Let's just get this over with so we can go home, its going to be a long day tomorrow…"

Django sighed once more, before they finished up whatever it was they were doing, Alice walked over to them and smiled when it was time to leave. Sartana grinned as she readied her guitar to play; Django tuned his lazily, while Alice smiled as she readied herself too for what was ahead. Sartana blasted the doors down, seeing the policía outside, waiting to open fire, but Django and Alice beat them both to the punch as they blasted the guns out of all the officers' hands. Leaving in a puff of otherworldly smoke, they all arrived at Sartana's prison graveyard home, now alone to think about what they would do tomorrow.

While all of this was happening at the bank, earlier in Casa Del Macho, Bella had gotten impatient with her brother and decided to go out and look for him. As she walked down the streets Bella couldn't help but look at a flier on an electric poll thing, it said there was a new exhibit at the Miracle City Museum; they had uncovered some jeweled bird of some kind and it would only be on display for the week. Today was the last day it would be in, so Bella shrugged her shoulders as she looked at the address of the museum and decided to take a walk over there to see the jeweled bird.

As Bella walked down the street towards the museum, she had this sinking feeling that something was going to happen while she was there. Bella just shook her head at the thought as she crossed the street to the museum. There was hardly anyone around, so she went in without having to wait to go anywhere, since the lack of people. Bella looked around until she saw a sighed that read "The Jeweled Phoenix Exhibit", 'This must be it, I wonder if Miracle City is just as bad as dad told me and Miguel about before?' Bella thought as she entered into the exhibit, there wasn't anyone in there, not even a guard. 'Okay, this is getting to be a bit conspicuous; I wonder why no one other than me is on the museum today? Is it closed, but then why the doors were unlocked… hmm I wonder…' Bella's thoughts were soon interrupted when she heard the wailing of an alarm going off in the room.

She looked around frantically trying to find a break-in of any kind, but she couldn't find any in the current room she was in, until she heard someone blowing the doors down from behind her. She turned to see three strangers walk… or rather fly into the room, there were two women and one guy, the guy was well built, he looked kinda cute to Bella, but she ignored him as she looked at the two women. One was older, she looked like the leader, and her outfit was black aside from her black and purple leggings, purple visor and mask. The other was really old; she looked like she was a grandmother, her outfit was similar to the older ones, but there were differences in hers too.

"Who are you and why are you in the museum?" The leader asked Bella, who just rolled her eyes at them before she spoke.

"The names Isabella, lady, but you'd better call me Bella or else." Bella threatened as she shook her fist at them, the one who spoke to her was shocked by this, not by her words, but by the way she spoke and the way she looked at them. It was as if she was actually staring at… at… at both of them at the same time, but more along the lines of him than her. She shook her head and glared at Bella.

"The name is Black Cuervo not lady and don't you forget it or else. This is my mother Vultura and my son Triple X." Black Cuervo pointed to her mother and son as she spoke to Bella, who just rolled her eyes as she tried to leave, Triple X stopped her. Confused, she tried to leave in a different direction, only to be stopped by Vultura, and then once again by Black Cuervo.

"Okay I'll bite, what's with all of you stopping me from leaving?" Bella asked as she tried again only to be grabbed by Triple X and pinned against the wall.

"We don't want you running off to the policía so you're out hostage niña, and don't do anything you'll regret got it." Cuervo threatened as she pointed her laser right in-between Bella's eyes. She was unfazed by Cuervo's threat, so she just grinned as she soon kneed Triple X in the crotch which caused him to release her in order for him to cripple to the floor in pain. Cuervo was about to blast Bella when she jumped in the air, twisted Cuervo's helmet around and landed on her butt behind her. Bella had taken many self defense classes after an incident that had happened a long time ago. She looked to her right and grinned at Vultura, who was beyond words surprised by this little girl, who in just a few seconds took down her daughter and grandson. Though, what she thought was strange about Bella was that she was wearing a dark blue jacket.

Bella soon ran towards Vultura, who avoided her with ease, but she didn't stop there, she took off her jacket, revealing a teal colored shirt and two scars on her arms. She took the jacket, twirled it up like a towel and snapped it Vultura, it just barely missed her. While this was going on, Cuervo has turned her helmet full around so she could see once more, but she had suddenly wished that she hadn't. For when she did, she saw Bella fighting against her mother, just like … he used to all those years ago.

"Mother stop, let's just take what we want and leave." Cuervo told her now confused mother, before she could argue, Bella was able somehow give her a wet Willie. Cuervo soon took the Jeweled Phoenix from its pedestal, while Triple X and Vultura threw Bella into the wall and blasted a hole in the ceiling and soon left the museum with a priceless artifact and a happy little girl in the museum.

Bella got up and dusted herself off as she walked out of the museum, 'Damn, that was fun, who would have guessed that they weren't his goons and just regular villains in this city.' Bella thought as she walked out the front doors of the museum, to find some policía officers arriving too late for the fight. They ignored Bella, who just moved out of their way and walked towards home, remembering the past once she was out of sight of the museum. 'It's been so long since I first got these scars, it seems like that was a lifetime ago.' Bella thought as she looked at the scars on her arms.

Flashback…

"Finally I'm almost home." Bella said as she was walking home, they were in Malaysia at the time, it was night time and she was alone, in one of the better parts of the city. As she walked, she didn't notice that someone or something was following her. The house was only a few blocks away, so she just smiled when her walk was almost over.

Then it happened, whoever was following her had attacked her from behind, they had tried to knock her unconscious, but had failed. Bella just grinned when the figure had tried to do it again, there wasn't much to who it was, and they were wearing a long black cloak that went down to the ground, and the only thing of his face that could be seen was the crimson red eyes behind the hood.

"Who are you?" Bella asked before the figure soon charged at her. She was able to doge the attack, but not without a knife wound on her left arm. She cried out in pain when the blade made contact with her skin.

"My name is of no concern of yours child, but knows this; tonight shall be the night you die." After he said this, he ran towards Bella and slashed at her again with his knife, only this time he hit her right arm. He did this time and time again hitting both of her arms, there was so much blood dripping from her arms it was unreal. After he did this ten times, Bella had two arms covered in blood, the cloaked man was about to attack her again, when all of a sudden she was getting enraged, it wasn't anything like an adrenalin rush, which she had felt before, it was something else all together. As she charged at the man and threw her arm back and sent her fist strait forward and from the force of her punch it somehow sent him flying strait into the alley that they were near.

Once the strange surges of adrenaline rush had left Bella's system, she sucked in a deep breath and soon clutched her throbbing and blood soaked arms. She left then and walked the rest of the way home, where everyone was waiting for her.

Flashback Ends…

Bella sighed as she arrived to her new home; she took the elevator up to the penthouse where her parents are still remembering their own past. As Bella remembered one of the most horrible nights of her life, Miguel was doing the same thing a he walked home from the bank. He was remembering why he didn't want to date ever again or to even love a girl, it was because of her.

Flashback…

It was nighttime in New York City, Miguel had a different name at the time, but it didn't mean much to him, for he was with the one girl who meant the world to him. Her name was Jasmine, and they were both trying to meet up with one of their friends named Zeo. He was a cool guy, he normally wore a green sleeveless jacket or vest, he didn't really know which, and underneath it was a white long sleeved shirt, he wore a green hat with a Luigi and lightning symbol on it, there were his black shoes and blue pants as well.

Miguel was very excited to see Zeo; he told them that he had something to show both him and Jasmine.

"Hey Jasmine are you coming or what?!" Marcus shouted at Jasmine as he half ran down the sidewalk.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, will you be patient already Marcus." Jasmine half complained as she tried to catch up to him.

"Well hurry up, Zeo is waiting for us." Marcus wasn't showing any signs of slowing down.

"Okay Marcus, but he won't mind it if we were just a few minuets late." Jasmine said as an attempt to get her boyfriend to slow down a bit.

"Okay, but still he said he wanted to show us something important. I wonder what it is." Marcus told Jasmine as he slowed down a little bit.

"Who knows, but its Zeo so it'll be awesome?" Jasmine smiled as she saw Marcus starting to slow down. After a little while longer of half running, they met Zeo in an alley, Miguel was first in followed by a panting Jasmine.

"Hey Zeo, we're here!" Miguel shouted, even though it was eerily quiet in the alley.

"Hey guys, where've you been?" Zeo asked as he walked out into the light.

Jasmine had finally made it into the alley when Zeo has said that, and she was panting heavily. "Slowly remembering how to breathe properly…"

"You both ran here again didn't you?" Zeo chuckled, they normally met Zeo in the park, but for some reason he wanted to meet them in this alley tonight.

"Yeah, I wanted to see what you wanted to show us." Miguel answered Zeo's question as he looked at Jasmine, who looked like she was about to pass out at any moment.

"I hope it was worth the ten mile jog…" Jasmine leaned against one of the alley walls for a minuet to rest.

Marcus looked at her with a confused look on his face, "Uh Jasmine, we only ran about three blocks to get here."

She sighed as she stood up and walked over to Miguel, and leaned on him for a moment for balance. "Then why do I feel this way?" She asked as she finally stood up strait and caught her breath.

Miguel just shrugged, "Eh, who knows, still…" Miguel soon looked at Zeo. "So Zeo, what did you want to show us?"

Zeo showed an evil grin and soon reached into his pocket as he shouted, "THIS!" What he pulled out was a gun, and he shot Jasmine, who screamed out in pain.

"…Jasmine!" Marcus shouted in shock to seeing his beloved Jasmine shot. He soon felt tears streaking down his face, "Jasmine…" he whispered her name; he was in too deep a shock to do anything.

"Don't worry you're next… Miguel." Zeo grinned as he pointed the gun at Miguel, who stared at him in shock.

"H-how… how do you know my real name?" Miguel asked out of shock. He could barely move let alone breathe.

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out. Now say good bye to your life Miguel R-" Zeo was cut short when someone came up from behind him and knocked him out with a pipe. The strange thing was that there was a clank sound that came from the blow, and behind Zeo was strangely enough another Zeo. "Stay down…"

"Okay now I'm really confused." Miguel said when he saw the other Zeo who was panting like he had just run a marathon.

The Zeo holding the pipe just sighed before he spoke, "Don't be… just be glad I get her in time to save both you and Jasmine."

After hearing Jasmine's name, Miguel panicked as he looked over to where she was. "…Jasmine!"

"M-Marcus…… M-Miguel……?" She whispered both of his names as she lay their on the ground.

Miguel ran over to her and picked her up gently. "Jasmine… I'm so sorry." He whispered to her as he leaned her against his chest.

She half looked up at Miguel, as he held her, "I-it's okay, M-Marcus… w-will you p-please tell me name?" She coughed after she spoke.

Miguel sighed, "…Alright Jasmine, I'll tell you my real name, it's Miguel R-"

"I wonder who made this thing." Zeo asked himself as he looked at the robot version of him.

Jasmine smiled when she heard Miguel's real name, as she spoke, "M-Miguel… it's a beautiful name… oh how I love you… Miguel R-"

"I wonder why whoever made it would want Miguel dead." Zeo wondered again as Jasmine tried to speak properly.

"I l-love you Miguel … don't"-cough-"you…ever forget that." Jasmine coughed a few more times before she took a shaky breath.

Miguel had tears still streaking down his face as he spoke to Jasmine. "I love you too Jasmine… and I will never forget you… this I swear." Miguel promised as he saw Jasmine's eyes start to close, and yet she was smiling.

"Good bye… Miguel…" As Jasmine was speaking her last words, it started to sprinkle.

Miguel's lips were trembling as he watched her starting to finish closing. "J-Jasmine… p-please d-don't…" Miguel tried to beg her to stay, but he knew that it was useless.

"…I…love…you…" With those last three words spoken, Jasmine had died and the rain son poured down on her and Miguel, who was in the worst emotional pain of his life.

"…JASMINE!" Miguel shouted into the sky as he held the love of his life in his arms. After a few seconds, he soon spoke to himself, "…I will avenge you… This I Swear…"

Flashback Ends…

Miguel sighed, he loved Jasmine, but he didn't have the courage to do anything, he wasn't just in shock that night, he was scared. Scared to lose his own life, he was ashamed of how afraid he was that night; he swore that it would never happen again. Along with wanting to avenge his beloved Jasmine, Miguel was soon at Casa Del Macho, he took the elevator up to the penthouse, where everyone was still remembering the past. When Miguel reached the top floor, he saw his sister sitting outside the front door to their home.

"Bella, what are you doing out here?" Miguel asked as he walked towards his sister.

She looked up at Miguel and whipped the tears away as she looked at him. "I was starting to worry about you when you didn't come home, so I went out to look for you and I wound up at the museum where I beat the crud out of a bunch of dumb bird-brained villains." Bella smiled, but soon covered her arm, but more specifically her scars.

Miguel sighed; he knew that his sister from time to time was very curious to the things that were around her, and at the other times she could be the best kickass fighter on the planet. "I would up going down a dangerous street and was saved by the police before anything bad could happen. I wound up at the bank because some freaky skeletons were robbing it, and that seems strange to me, I mean come on, why the hell would skeletons want to rob the bank, it makes no sense." Miguel said with a laugh, he was trying to make the atmosphere more relaxing, since both were still upset from their past.

"You were thinking about her again weren't you Miguel?" Bella asked, seeing through her brother's façade.

He sighed, "Is it that obvious?" Miguel asked as he took a seat next to Bella.

"Yeah, Miguel I know it's hard to let go, but we all have to at sometime in our lives." Bella said as she leaned against his shoulder.

"I know sis, I know." Both sighed before leaning their heads against the wall, they'd open the door in a little bit; they wanted to stay there for a while first before going inside.

Meanwhile over at the Flock of Fury headquarters, Black Cuervo and Django of the Dead were thinking about the two kids they had seen today. The way Cuervo had described the way Bella fought was just like… Manny, and the way Miguel flirted with Alice was just like him too. Both shook their heads at the thought, and looked over at their children. Alice was daydreaming, while Derek was holding an icepack to his tenders.

"Alice, Derek," Cuervo soon took off her helmet and revealed her face; she had the same kind of hair as her daughter, short black hair with purple highlights. "Why don't you two turn in early tonight, after all, its going to be a long day tomorrow, and its getting late."

"Okay mom," Alice replied, since Derek was having a hard time speaking for the moment. Alice helped him to his room while she went to hers.

Once Alice and Derek were out of the room Cuervo turned to her husband who sighed, "Zoe, I know how you feel, and I miss them both too. Manny and Frida were the most amazing team or anything in the city, and I still remember the last time we saw him alive." After Django said those words, he stopped and sighed heavily, as did Zoe. It was time once again, for them to remember when they last saw their friend alive.

Flashback…

Django and Zoe were robbing the Miracle City bank that day; Django had two large sacks of money in his hands as did his girlfriend. Both ready to fight anyone who would dare cross their path, but they didn't expect it to be Manny Rivera a.k.a. El Tigre to come and … well talk to them. They were outside of the bank when they saw the tiger themed hero, who was ready for a fight.

"Aw how cute, a villainous couple. I always wondered if you two would ever get together." Manny said in a half sarcastic tone.

"Buzz off Tigre, of we'll show you the meaning of fear!" Django threatened.

Manny just chuckled, "Actually, I only came here to say I'm happy to see you two dating, and that I was going to see mi amor today."

Zoe groaned, "What do you even see in that Suarez girl anyway? I mean come on; she's the one who gets you both into trouble twenty-four-seven, and she even gives bad advice in your fights."

Manny rolled his eyes at Zoe's comment on his girlfriend. "I know, but still Frida is something else, and I love her too. So you guys get going; I've got a girlfriend waiting for me." Manny smiled, but before he walked off, he turned around to say something to Cuervo and Django. "Oh, and here you guys go; I have a feeling that I won't be using this anymore, so you can have it."

Manny tossed to them a small box, confused, both wanted to open it, but a random photographer came up to them and offered to take a group photo. They all shrugged and did so, Django and Cuervo left the money on the steps of the bank as they went to stand by Manny. They both held each other in a hug, while Manny spun his belt buckle and smiled at the two of them. The photo was soon taken, and given to the three of them, Manny let Cuervo and Django take it. They thanked him as he soon left to go and be with Frida.

Flashback Ends…

That was the last time they had ever seen Manny alive, after he left, it was only a while later did the news announce… what they thought had happened. Zoe soon pressed a button on her wrist watch communicator and transformed back into her civilian attire, while Django changed into his civilian form with his guitar.

"I'm gonna go to bed, I just want tomorrow to come and go, but I know that it will never happen." Django told Zoe as he walked out of the living room and towards the bedroom. Zoe sighed as she followed her husband, 'I know; I wish that it would go by faster, but tomorrow will always seem like physically the longest day of the year for those of us who live in Miracle City. For them; for Manny Rivera and Frida Suarez, the biggest chuckle heads in the city, who will always be our friends?' Zoe thought as she walked into the bedroom and went to sleep.

It was nighttime when Zoe had gone to sleep, and when Miguel and Bella walked inside their home and went to bed as well. Their parents were still in the same trancelike state of mind that they were in hours ago, staring at the same picture, of a short man with metal arms, and the two children. The something happened, there was a fight going on. The boy spun his belt buckle and transformed into what looked like a tiger themed super hero. He attacked the man, who hit him and the girl who was fighting along side the tiger themed hero into what looked like a giant machine that crushed garbage. As he shouted something to the two, he pushed the button that activated the machine. There was blood being shed everywhere, but something soon happened that the crazed man didn't see…

Flashback…

Both the boy and the girl had gotten out of the machine, but the boy had lost his arm in the process when it had stopped. The girl held her arm as she felt tears fall down her face as she looked at her practically destroyed red goggles that were stained with blood. Next to it was the boy's belt, which was also practically destroyed and stained with blood.

"Manny… d-do we have to go…?" The girl asked.

"There's no other options Freeds… we have to leave." Manny told her as he felt the tears fall down his face too.

"O-Okay Manny… we should get going…" She suggested, as she looked down at the ground.

"We'll return when the time is right Freeds… I just know it…" Manny reassured her as he stared at her sad face.

"We'd better get going… before he finds us…" She looked up and started to limp slightly forward.

"Yeah… we can take… the motorcycles… he won't mind, or care…" Manny said as they started to leave the dump and off to another location. "…Yeah… he won't mind…"

After about ten minuets of walking, they came to a small house near the outskirts of the city, there was a garage and shed both by the house. Soon they were at the door, and Manny had knocked on it. After a few minuets there was a tall girl with long light brown hair, and wore a blue top, and dark blue jeans. While the guy next to her was wearing biker clothes, spiked elbow pads, and black leather jacket, while his long wild light brown hair looked almost windblown. Both were shocked to see who it was at their door, "Manny…!" The girl said in shock.

"…Frida!" The guy too said out of shock.

"H-hey g-guys…" Frida started, looking very weak.

"W-we need to… use your bikes… as in now…" Manny finished, also looking very weak.

"What happened to you two?!" The girl asked, very worried.

"We-we were nearly killed b-by h-him…" Manny said, he looked like he was about to pass out.

"Are you okay Manny?" The guy asked stupidly as Manny tried to walk.

"I-I'm fine…" He said in an annoyed tone.

"You don't look fine to me Manny." She said as she watched Manny starting to sway a little bit back and forth.

"I-I'm fine…" Manny said again, but his voice sounded a little hoarse.

"You don't look fine at all Manny." Frida told him as she tried to walk closer to him.

"I-I-I…" Was all Manny had said before he passed out.

"Manny!" Everyone shouted once he was on the ground and unconscious.

About a half an hour later, Manny started hearing a beep-beep sound next to him, he groaned as he tried to get up. "…ugh… my head…"

"Manny! You're awake!" Frida practically yelled in excitement, when she heard Manny starting to talk. He also saw someone else next to him, she was calling to Silver.

"Silver come quickly Manny's awake!" She cried out in excitement.

"I'm coming Carla, and I hope so, we have a lot to tell him." After Silver had spoken those words, Manny had become curious.

"T-tell me what…?" He asked.

"It's nothing you need to worry about right now Manny." Frida told her lover as she watched him trying to sit up. He was on his elbows when Carla sighed.

"Frida is right Manny; it isn't something you need to worry about right now."

"Tell me what, I want to know." Manny was too stubborn to give up, he wanted to know what they were talking about.

Silver sighed and looked at the ground, "Manny… you and Frida were announced dead not five minuets ago…"

Manny wasn't sure if the was the shock of the pain meds wearing off but he was now 100% awake. "…WHAT!" Manny was shocked to hear this.

Frida placed her hand on Manny's right one, and what he didn't notice right away was that he couldn't feel her hand on his. "We don't like it either Manny or I don't understand how this even happened."

Carla was on Manny's left side and she frowned as she looked at her friend. "It's all over the news that you two are dead. We don't know who told them that or why." After Carla said that, Silver was looking at the plasma TV, but more specifically the news.

"Uh guys, you might want to take a look at this." He turned up the volume on the TV as female news reported was explaining what was going on.

"There is still no sign of any bodies yet, but we still fear the worst for young Manny Rivera and Frieda Suarez. Both families are worried and anxiously awaiting for more information on the children." The reported soon touched her ear piece, as she received more information from the news station she worked for, and she looked behind her as if to get a better look at what was going on. "Wait, I have just received word that someone has been found, it… it looks like an arm. I think it is an arm. Oh my… oh my god… goes to commercial!! QUICKLY!!" Was the last thing she said before the signal was cut off, and they turned the TV off, ignoring what they had just seen?

Everyone had tears in their eyes, after a few moments of silence; Manny soon spoke, "Frida… I don't think we'll ever be able to come back. At least for a long time anyway."

Frida sniffed before she spoke, "I know Manny and… and I hope we come back when everything truly is better than now." Frida sighed as she took a seat and held her throbbing, and now bandaged arm. "…yeah… hopefully…" Frida whispered to herself, while Manny looked at his completely bandaged right arm.

"Hey guys," Manny soon said to no one in particular as he stared at his arm.

Carla looked at Manny, "What is it Manny?" She asked.

"This isn't my real arm is it?" He asked as he stared at it intently.

Carla sighed, "No it isn't your real arm."

"Then what is it?" Manny truly did want to know what it was.

"It's a bionic arm, it's to replace you real arm. I'm sorry Manny, but it's a good substitute right?" Carla asked as she watched Manny staring at his arm.

"Yeah, I guess it is an okay substitute… I guess." Manny said after a few seconds.

"Are you okay Manny?" Frida asked as she looked up at her lover.

He looked at her and sighed, "Yeah, it's just something I need to get used to. I guess…"

Silver soon walked over to Manny's bed and looked at him, "Reminds me, Manny you need this, it'll help you when your arm starts to hurt you." Silver handed a slip of paper to Manny who took it. "Here, it's instructions on how to fix you ram if it breaks, and to help you out when it starts to hurt you."

Manny soon smiled at his friend as he got off the hospitable bed. "Thanks, I have a feeling that I'll need this."

Seeing Manny smile made everyone else want to smile as well. "You're welcome Manny, and Cara, can give you the keys to the bikes."

"…Bikes?" Frida asked a bit confused.

Carla smiled as she answered Frida's question, "Yeah, Silver was in the middle of finishing up two new bikes when Manny woke up."

"I might be able to finish then in about ten minuets." Silver said after thinking it over for a moment.

"Sounds good, and in the mean time, me and Frida can change into some new clothes." Manny suggested as he walked towards his girlfriend.

Then when the ten minuets were up, everyone met up in the garage, where Silver looked tired. "Phew, finally I'm done." He got up from where he was sitting and whipped his forehead, he wasn't wearing his leather jacket anymore, he was wearing a red t-shirt that said 'Rock On!' and he also had black gloves on as well.

Carla came walking in and smiling at her boyfriend. "Good timing, Manny and Frida just finished getting dressed."

After she said that, Manny and Frida walked in looking completely different. They were both wearing completely one color outfits, Manny's was black and Frida's was navy blue. They wore leather jackets, and pants, with boots and gloves that also matched. Frida smiled as she turned around giving them a full looks of the outfit. "Well, what do you think?" She asked.

While Manny smiled at her and explained why his hair wasn't as curly as before, "I decided to flatten my hair down. To give myself a whole new look, also we hope you both like."

Carla placed her hands on her hips as she looked at her friends. "Wow you two, I'm impressed with the new looks. What do you think Silver?" Carla asked.

He smiled, "Cool, but before I forget, here are the keys to your bikes." Silver walked over to Frida and Manny, but before he handed them their keys, they took a look at their bikes.

"They look awesome Silver; thanks." Frida was impressed.

"Yeah, awesome job..." Manny smiled.

"Here are the keys to your Frida," Silver soon handed Frida her keys, and Manny his. "And here are the keys to your Manny, I hope to see you again one day my friend." Silver soon backed up and opened the garage door for his friends.

Manny and Frida both got on their bikes, "Thanks again you guys." Manny said as he started up his bike.

"We'll see you when ever we come back okay." Frida said as she started her bike and with Manny ready too, they waved to their friends who were in the garage as they rode out into the night.

"Bye Manny, bye Frida, see you later!" Carla called out to her disappearing friends.

"See you later, and if you ever need anything, you know where to find us!" Silver called out too.

After about twenty minuets on the road, Frida soon spoke to Manny who was riding his bike right next to hers. "Hey Manny, these bikes ride like a dream huh?"

Manny smiled as he answered her question, "Yeah, Silver Wolf has really outdone himself this time."

Frida smiled, but soon frowned as she thought about what they were leaving behind. "I hope we return and tell everyone the whole story someday Manny."

Manny sighed and frowned himself at the thought of everyone back home who would soon be weeping over two empty coffins. "I hope so too Frida, I truly do hope so, but we will return to Miracle City … This I swear…" After Manny said those words, both he and Frida faded away into the night.

Flashback Ends…

Once the last image faded away, everyone sighed, Carla and Silver Wolf looked out the window, while Meredith and Logan both looked at the ground.

"We'd better get going, after all, tomorrow is the day it happened, and we're attending the ceremony… are you two going to be there?" Silver asked Meredith and Logan who didn't respond. "Well I hope to see you there, anyway, lets get going Carla, its gonna be an even longer day tomorrow than it was today."

Carla nodded, "Yeah, see you around…" Carla looked at her friends and sighed as she followed Silver out of the penthouse.

Logan and Meredith remained like that for some time, they didn't move until the digital clock said that it was midnight. Both went to bed, and awaited for the day to be over once more, they hated remembering the day they "died" and the pain it still causes everyone. As they went to bed, they didn't hear that someone in the shadows had seen everything and it grinned when it saw the sad memory. Things were going to change in Miracle City, and no one knew that it would be for the best and for the worst…
