Hello! Sorry I haven't updated, I'm getting over the flu! I still feel bad, and I have nothing to do all day, so this is longer than normal! Enjoy!
Happy Harbor Bank
July 9th
2: 15 pm
The new team were called in just as they finished with Black Canary. Someone was robbing a bank, and as soon as they got there, they could see it wasn't a normal stick-up. There were three huge guys, in all black, and one male, that looked really sick. Like he was wearing a yellow and green thing, and a jetpack that looked like a green propane tank. He also was holding a weird type of gun.
"No one is a match for Common Cold! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!"
Blade didn't move. "Um, aren't you from a T.V show?" she asked him, and he sneered.
"Shut up! Ah-choo!" he sneezed and Blade winced. "Ugh, cover your mouth!"
He frowned and aimed at her with his cannon, which she jumped out of the way.
Black Rose frowned at him. "I'm pretty sure she's right."
He growled something, setting the three men towards them, and Nightingale moved first, coming up from behind and using a man's shoulders to swing herself in front of him, sending him flying back into a wall. At that time, Starlight was busy with hand-to-hand combat with the other, when Bolter was flung at her, sending them both flying into a wall.
Salna (Amelia) turned herself into water, but one of the men noticed her, and scooped her up into a jar, and sealed the lid.
"Crap!" she yelled, her voice sounding bubbly.
Colt was moving fast, and quickly took down the man holding Amelia. He cracked the jar on the ground, and Amelia tumbled out, and morphed back into a human, and she coughed.
"Ow! Never let that happen, AGAIN!" she protested to him, and Colt shrugged.
"Sorry." He said briefly.
Bolter fried another man, making the air smell like bacon, before getting pushed back by Starlight slamming the both of them into the wall, again. "REVENGE!" she yelled as they flew into the hard-packed wall.
Blade was focused on Common Cold, as was Black Rose.
"B.R! Think you saw the show right? How did they defeat him?" she called to her.
Black Rose bounced back and forth on her heels thinking. "Um, he IS the cold right? How do you cure the cold?"
"CHICKEN SOUP!" yelled Blade, causing everyone to stop fighting and moving to look at her.
"Um. That's what I always eat when I have a cold." She muttered, before requiping into a brown dress. And sneakers.
"You have a chicken soup dress?" asked Black Rose.
"I don't control what outfits I have!" stuttered Blade, blushing. She took out a cannon similar to Common Colds.
"No! I won't go back!" he yelled, and blasted her with his weapon, sending her into a pile of rubble.
"Um, Ew!" she said, and tossed the cannon to Black Rose, who shot it at the Common Cold, who yelled and shrunk down to nothing, before disappearing in a static wave.
"That was weird." Said Bolter.
"HE WAS FROM A TV SHOW, OF COURSE IT WAS WEIRD!" yelled Blade from her pile in the rubble. Colt noticed her, and helped her up.
"Thanks." She muttered, than sneezed. It was probably the cutest sneeze ever. It was like; "A-chu!" like a Pokémon.
"Awwww." Went everyone, even the bad guys.
"Shut up!" she yelled, and stalked out of the bank.
N.M.J
July 9th
3:00 pm
In a matter of minutes, Keri had come down with the cold, and the team had stopped their first bad guy as a team.
The team sat in the living room on the couch, all but Keri, who was in her room.
"That was interesting." Said Taylor, breaking the ice.
"He was from a TV show." Said Bex, still not believing it. Her mask was still on, even though everyone was dressed normally.
"I know. But, how?" asked Andre. His mask was on as well. He wasn't keen on showing his face to everyone.
"It could be The Light." offered Jordyn.
"Or someone else." Countered Cameron.
The air was silent, because everyone was thinking.
"Maybe it could be some tech-freak. There's a lot of evil people on TV. He could be trying to commit crimes. Or something more…" though Bex.
At that moment, Emily reached into her pocket and pulled out a paper.
"I found this in my pocket after we left the bank. I haven't opened it yet."
Bex took the paper and opened it, showing a bunch of words and numbers like this,
1F141E13 2E171415 231E13301813, 19181314 4.
"It's a code." Said Amelia, studying the list.
"A very hard one." Said Bex, eyeing the paper.
"I can crack it, but not for a while. There can be over 1,000 different words. This will take a while."
Cameron crossed his arms and nodded. "Good. Go ahead and crack it. We can handle the bad guys in the meantime." The air grew quiet, and the team drifted off into the mountain. Bex went to her room to try and crack the code, Emily went to the rec room to play some video games, Amelia went to the indoor pool. Jordyn went to her room to play on her balance beam, Andre went off to god-knows-where, Taylor went to the rec room as well, and Cameron went to go visit Keri.
"Hey." He said entering her room.
"What?" she said grumpily, then coughed.
"Emily found a code in her pocket. Bex is cracking it." He said, sitting down on her bed.
"Good." She said. "At least you did something while I was hacking my lungs off."
He chuckled. "You could break a rib."
"I'll break yours first." She said, though she was smiling.
He stared out her window for a moment. "Are you sure what we're doing is right?" he asked her. Her face got sober, a rare thing for her.
"Yes. We've discussed this, Cameron." He winced. "I know. But it could go wrong."
She looked at him. "It won't. It hasn't yet."
He sighed. "Alright, all right." He got and smiled at her. "You sure do make a point, Keri."
Keri crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "I know."
He walked out of her room, and joined the others.
This just has to work. It has to. For Keri. For Me. For everyone.
