Chapter 4

Will's power placement was awful. The coach dropped a car of him and he hit the ground to stop from being flattened and then he was thrown across the room and slammed into the wall. Bella and Layla both gasp in shock.

"Will." They yelled out as he sat up and looked over at coach boomer.

"Come on kid stop messing around." The coach said and Will sighed.

"I don't have my powers." He said and Boomer screamed Side kick in his face before sending him to the nurse. Bella felt awful for him and they didn't see him again until she got home from school.

She thought for sure he'd tell his parents when they walked in but he didn't. His father just assumed he made hero like Bella and even showed him the secret sanctum along with Bella. She was amazed by the place and even stayed and played some pool with them before heading off to bed and allowing them a chance to spend time alone.

Later that night she saw Will and Layla talking on the roof as Layla showed off her power some by growing an apple from the tree and Bella chuckled. She wondered if her cousin knew the red head was in love with him.

"I guess I'll see you guys later on then?" Bella said sadly as she had to go to Hero class and her friends went off to side kick class. They all waved her good luck as she headed to her first class.

"Ah yes Miss. Swan. Have a seat." The teacher said handing her a book and she nodded and smiled and went to sit by Warren but was stopped by a stretchy hand blocking her path just as she got to the table Warren was sitting at.

"Hey there hot stuff. Wanna sit with us?" the boy ask and Bella frowned.

"Aren't you the ones that tried to con 15.00 from us yesterday when we first got here?" she ask and he smirked and shrugged.

"Maybe. I'm Lash." He said and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Thanks for the offer but I'm good." She said and went to walk by but he wouldn't let her and Bella felt really un easy around this boy. However, when a flaming hand landed on his arm he jerked his hand back to let her pass with a hiss.

"I think she said no. Back off." Warren said and Lash nodded before moving out of the way and Bella smiled as she walked past and slide into the seat with Warren.

"Thanks." Bella said and he nodded as the teacher started talking.

She had several classes with Warren and they sat together in all of them. When lunch came she sat with Will and Layla to hear how there day was going as Warren decided to go sit outside in the sun. She saw him again in there next class.

She found she looked forward to seeing him in classes. They talked about random things and it felt nice and easy. Not like when she use to talk with Edward. Talking with him always made her feel stupid and inferior to him.

After being in school for a few days Bella and Will invited Layla and the side kicks over for a study session. Bella had invited Warren as well but he had to work and she knew he really didn't want to be in the same house as her cousin and Bella respected his decision on that. She knew his father's imprisonment was a sore spot for him.

"Well if all of you are in here. Who's saving the world out there." Her uncle said dressed as the commander. All there friends gapped in shock and Bella and Will shared an amused smile. He really was something to see up close and in full on super clothes.

"Hey dad." Will said.

"Mr. Commander is so nice to meet you." Ethan said standing up and shaking his hand.

"What's your name, what's your power?" her uncle ask.

"Ethan I melt." He said and her uncle passed but nodded.

"Zach I glow." Zach said and her uncle nodded and moved on to Magenta.

"Magenta and I shape shift." She said and he nodded.

"Shape shift really?" he ask excited and she nodded.

"Yeah into a guinea pig." She told him and he nodded.

"Well I make a mean chicken salad sandwich if anyone wants one?" he ask and the all shook their heads no.

"You've got to tell him." Layla told Will who sighed and nodded.

They all listened as Will told him all his friends were sidekicks except Bella and then he told him he was too. Her uncle started yelling about coach boomer and treating to call the school until Will finally told him the truth.

"I don't have any power Dad." He said and Bella saw her uncle stare at his son for a moment.

"But you will Will." He said and Will sighed.

"Maybe but for now I'm proud to be a side kick." He said before walking back in the Livingroom. No one knew what to say before Layla finally shot everyone a look to stop staring and they went about their business.

They went back to studying for a while longer but Bella's mind kept drifting to Warren. Finally she sighed and closed her book before packing her bag and sitting it by the door for in the morning.

"Guys I'll see you later." She said and they looked up at her in shock.

"Where are you going?" Will ask as she grabbed her keys.

"Out. I'll be back." She said before heading outside and to her truck. She drive to the paper lantern before heading inside and waving to Warren.

"Hey what are you doing here?" he ask coming forward. Blushing she bit her lip before shrugging.

"I'm not really sure. Just felt like I needed to come here." She said and he looked at her for a moment before smiling.

"Come one. Were about to close so I'm just cleaning in the back." He said and she smiled and followed him into the kitchen. She sat on the counter as he cleaned. She offered to help but he told her no she instead she kept him company. They talked for over an hour and Bella knew without a doubt she was falling for the fiery hot head. When he was done they walked outside.

"I'll give you a lift." She said when he told her he was going to walk home. Chuckling he nodded after making a crack about her truck but she just rolled her eyes and followed his direction to his house.

His house wasn't far and it was slightly smaller than the Stronghold house but still very nice two story home.

"Thanks. See you at school tomorrow." He said and she nodded before leaning over and kissing his cheek. He smirked at her as he looked her over. She was blushing and biting her lip and he'd never seen anything cuter. She had wormed her way into his life and past all the anger and into his heart. Leaning over he kissed her lips firmly and quickly and Bella sighed when he pulled back.

"See ya." She said alittle breathless and he nodded before hoping out and heading inside. He had kissed her and she kissed him back. Hell yeah.
