Wow, starting this quickly on another update! I rock.
(Though it probably will not be finished until a few days from now. But right now it's Sunday morning before Church, and I am not going to hell for this. No matter what you Bible slappers say, so… *sticks tongue out with a 'neh neh' gesture* XD Okay, back to my usual tolerant self, this chapter is going to have some boyXboy. Just warnin' you, it isn't REALLY boyXboy, but it's implied, so those of you who do not like reading boyXboy, I shall put one of these nifty warning signs for 'heavy' homosexuality, blood, gore, a villain being creepy, or any combo of these said warnings.
…Just warnin' ya. XD)
Disclaimer: *opens fortune cookie* …Nope, no deed to South Park, just some more Confucious crap. I also do not own the awesomeness that is other OC's, just Mari and a new character, which you shall meet in this chapter.

"…She's really serious about this, isn't she?" Kenny said as he had a flyer in his hands, it was white and in bold purple print "Money for any leads on Mysterion! Please Contact Mari Evans at the Newspaper room."
"Unfortunately." Lyss sighed, pulling her jacket tighter around her to cover up the advertisement shirt Mari also begged her to put on the front of her shirt. "Kenny, why can't you just tell her that you're Mysterion?"
"Who says I'm Mysterion this time around? Plus, it gives me a get out of jail free card to look at the front of you're shirt." Kenny smiled, before barely dodging a flyer projectile. "Honestly, though. If I was Mysterion, do you think I would tell you?"
Lyss smirked. "Maaayyybeee, if I pouted."
"Hm, good point." Kenny smirked back, tugging at the blue cap on her head.
Are we really flirting with each other? Lyss thought, blushing slightly, before smiling. "Hey, after school get's-"
That was when Lyss screeched to a stop, looking up slightly at the very intimidating face of Raoul Vance. If looks could kill…
"You should watch where you're going." He said a serious tone of voice that Lyss would come to expect a teacher scolding a student would use, before walking off.
"You alright, Lyss?" Kenny shook her shoulder slightly.
"Huh? Uh, yeah, I guess. Come on, let's get going, Mari is gonna be pissed if we don't get these all up…"
(~)
"You sure that there's going to be a robbery?" Mari said with a raised eyebrow. Alex Pierce's shaggy head of dark brown hair bobbed up and down.
"Trust me, Evans. I wouldn't give you false information."
Mari sighed but smiled. "I know, dude. Though I honestly don't know how the hell you get this info…"
"I have my sources." Alex said with a shrug.
"Well, if you're sources aren't correct, I AM going to tell Clyde that it was you in that seven minutes in heaven game we played in 8th grade." Mari chuckled.
The older boy's eyes widened. "You wouldn't. I saved you're butt from having to kiss him, and Kim is the only one who also knows. Tell anyone, and the best leads you can get are out the window."
"Okay, okay. I'm not that cruel." Mari said, before turning around in her chair and made making out noises. "Oh, Clyde! Ooh…"
Alex's face turned slightly red, before rolling his eyes and walking out of the newsroom.

'Raoul Vance', real name Noah, was having in a word, a sucky day. First he forgot that he had to present a Current Event in his History class, than he bumped into ANOTHER stinking, vile female. And now…
He wrinkled his nose as a drop of water hit his face, followed by another dozen.
…It was raining.
This, obviously, was not his day.
Noah tried to lift his thin jacket up to cover his ears from the cold and wet. Even though South Park was usually pretty cold, as long as it wasn't snowing heavily or raining, he would be able to get away with wearing a thin jacket or hoodie walking to and from school and his apartment. Why the hell am I even on this stupid mission anyway…
Oh yeah, I'm a teenager, and HE'S a sadistic asshole that needs to rot in hell. The collared boy, literally and figuratively chained, sighed before shaking his head. No, it's just a job, like all the others, I've dealt with worse…
"Hey!" A voice called out, Noah was planning to ignore it, until he found that the rain was no longer drowning him.
"Wha…?" He whispered.
"You know, it's really idiotic to wear something so thin in weather like this." A voice he then discerned as male said right by his ear, making a tickling sensation and jolt through his body. Noah almost leaped back, before being pulled under the shelter of the umbrella once again.
"Woah! It's okay, I don't bite, dude."
Noah kept staring down at the ground, still shaking slightly.
"Hey, you don't look so good. Come on, I can take you some place where you can get warm."
Noah then looked up, his bright blue clashing with chocolate brown. Alex sucked in a breath of air. Holy crap…
"N-no thanks." The black haired boy whispered, shaking even more, only not because of the cold. Eyes so… warm…
Alex raised an eyebrow at the shivering, before sighing. "Fine. Than take my umbrella."
"…" Noah looked at the umbrella, than at Alex, and back again, before tilting his head slightly in confusion (which DID NOT make Alex want to tackle him. Honest). "…Then you won't have one."
Alex shrugged. "I have a hood, and a warmer jacket, I can make it to the coffee shop and wait out the rain."
"…I can go with the umbrella as far as there." The black haired boy said in a small voice, holding the cover under both of their heads.
Alex gave a warm laugh, causing Noah to twitch a little more. He has a nice laugh. Noah blushed slightly at the thought, but with a jerk of his head, he composed himself and started marching down the street with the older boy.
(~)
"Alex, my boy! What can I get you?" Mr. Tweak said with a smile as the two teenagers entered the coffee shop.
"Just A Decaf with some cream, Mr. T." Alex said with a smile, before turning to Noah. "You?"
Noah looked slightly surprised, before looking down at his feet, muttering "Just water."
"Hm, I think I'll have one of those coffee-chip cookies you have, also." Alex voiced.
"Alright then!" Tweek's dad said as he set the two cups down after Alex paid him, putting a plate with a huge cookie in the middle. "You boys enjoy!"
"Thanks." Alex said with a smile, going to pick up his food when his hand accidentally brushed up against the black haired boy's. Causing both to blush slightly and for Noah to practically fling himself five feet, before they quickly went to sit at a table. Both were looking down at their cups, trying not to make eye contact. The brunette deciding to take a sip of his coffee, hissing when the hot liquid burned his tongue, Noah hid a small smile that the look on Alex's face brought.
"So…" Alex said once his coffee had cooled down a bit. "I haven't really seen you around school. You new?"
"…What makes you think that?"
"Well, you definitely stick out in a crowd." Alex said, before realizing that he practically stuck his entire foot in his mouth. "W-well, uh, ya know-"
Noah pulled a smirk that seeped superiority, before taking a sip of his water. "I am new, by the way."
"Oh, good. I'm not incredibly stupid." Once it left his mouth, Alex blushed, mentally bashing his brain. His conversation faux pa's seemed to make the black haired teen open up more, letting out a chuckle, before shivering slightly. "You still cold?"
"Just my jacket, it'll get dry soon." Noah replied. Alex looked unconvinced, pulling off his coat and handing it over to the noirette. The younger teen noticed now that the other boy's build wasn't really made of pure muscle or of pure fat. It was lean and slender, but also wiry and strong, like a person who does swimming or something. "You honestly think that I'm that much of a charity case?"
Alex gave another one of what Noah now dubbed signature shrugs. "I have two more at home, and this gives you a reason to meet me again. Or, you don't freeze to death."
"Clever." Noah said with a smirk, before taking the coat and putting it on. It did feel pretty warm, and when Alex wasn't looking, Noah smelled the collar. It was nice and warm. Like some kind of spice…cinnamon? Noah was shook out of his reverie when Alex looked back up.
"You want a piece?" The teen offered half of his cookie. Noah bit his lip. Something sweet sounded rather appetizing to him right then, but…
"I-I'm not hungry." Noah replied. Alex gave a silent sigh. Seeming that the other boy had went back into his shell.
"You don't have to be hungry to eat this. Empty calories and all that shit?" Alex cajoled. Noah rolled his eyes, but reached over to take the piece, then quickly popped it into his mouth, a sweet, happy smile appeared on his face as he closed his eyes in bliss. Alex gulped. Gah, bad thoughts! Bad thoughts!
After he swallowed, Noah looked over at Alex with a smile, looking close to reaching his hand over to Alex's. The brunette felt hyper aware at that moment.
"Thank-"
"Dad! Refill!" A familiar bout of blonde rushed in through the door, followed by a group of five or six people. These people were Laura, Kim S, Clyde, Kyle, Kim C, and Mari.
Noah quickly rose up from his seat, muttering a "see you later" to Alex, before practically sprinting out the door, leaving the brunette sitting alone, confusion and surprise glowing in his light brown irises, before it looked like he just watched his favorite goldfish die. (Which had happen before, but he was six.)
"Hey, wasn't that the new guy who just bolted?" Clyde said as he took a seat while Laura worriedly watched Tweek chug down a full thermos of coffee. "Alex, you know him?"
"…" Alex still looked very confused and shocked.
"…Pierce?"
Mari waved a hand over his face, which brought the teenager to. "Oh, sorry, what?"
"We were asking if you knew Raoul?"
"Who?" Alex said in a faraway voice.
"You know, black hair, collar tattoo around his neck, doesn't like to be touched?" Kim C. said.
"Oh. So his name's Raoul…" Alex said softly, looking at the tabletop. Both Kim's exchanged glances, while Kyle groaned and sat down in his seat. Mari rolled her eyes.
"Oh, come on, Kyle. This new section of the paper is getting us a shitload of readers." The brunette ringlet-head said, before raising an eyebrow. "Unless YOU'RE Mysterion…"
"Mari. Stop it, paranoia doesn't suit you." Kim S. said. Mari sighed, before reaching over to grab a piece of cookie off her plate, but before she touched the delectable cookie goodness-
"Ah! Alex, let go!" Mari squeaked, though the grip was still strong. "Alex, you're hurting me!"
The darker brunette's eyes widened, before quickly letting go. "Oh shit, I'm sorry, Mari!"
Mari was rubbing her wrist, the angry red marks going down a little on her pale skin.
"Dude, what the hell was that about?" Clyde turned to Alex.
"I-I don't know, something just came over me and I wasn't paying attention…"
"Well, I'll buy my own cookie next time." Mari said sarcastically, walking over to the counter. "I'll probably need some slight 'Tweek' blend of coffee for tonight…"
"What's tonight?" Kim C. asked.
"Oh, just a journalist scoop. Staking out." Mari smiled as she got her coffee, blowing on the top. Kyle raised an eyebrow.
"Mari, I think you're taking this too seriously…"
"I'm no different than the other enthusiasts trying to guess who he or she is. I'm just playing the person who supplies their fodder." Mari said as she stared into her coffee cup with bottomless eyes.
"Alright, but just incase, where are you going to be, exactly?" Laura questioned.
"Oh, by the grocery store." Mari chirped, seeming to return to her usual self.
"Okay. And remember, if something happens, call someone, alright?" Kyle said, looking into Mari's green eyes with his own. Kim S. twitched slightly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Don't worry, Kyle." Mari smiled sweetly, while Kyle rolled his eyes and patted the top of her head.
"I know that look, it's the look my brother gives me when he's about to do something stupid." Kyle replied, everyone laughed, while the ringlet-head girl pouted.
"Well, I should get going, bye guys." Laura said, grabbing her bag.
"B-Bye, Laura!" Tweek stuttered, though it was hard to tell with all the shaking…
Laura blushed slightly, before smiling. "Bye, Tweek."
As everyone returned to chatting or bagging on Alex about his new "friend", Laura was walking down the street, and when nobody was looking, she took out something black, with white and purple ribbons…
"Time to go to work."
TO BE CONTINUED!
Sorry that it was so short. But two updates within 48 hours is pretty good! :D This may be the last update in awhile, since next weekend I'm going to be going to my cousin's 13th birthday party (They're of the Jewish faith, and I know the ceremonies name, but have no idea how to write it correctly and neither does my Microsoft Word, so…yeah. XD And the weekend after that I'll be off on vacation for the school Holiday.)
Hope I did well with descriptions and stuff~! Seeya next time, and please review!
