Here is the next chapter. People on this site got me to watch Supernatural and it's giving me the creeps. I keep looking around my bedroom as I look at my computer and I even have the bedroom door opened so I can hear better. God, help me. I recommend the show to anyone who likes a bit of freaky, but I don't recommend it if you are a baby about anything scary, like me. Please review. (:
Chapter Two: Encounter
I would walk right up to a villain. That was just the kind of luck I was born with. We were in Brooklyn and we had all split up to look through neighborhoods and apartment complexes and other places we thought we could find information on my father in. So, I walked right up to a man in a trench coat. Alright, so I admit it wasn't the best idea I've ever had. But there were a lot of people that looked slightly creepy that were really nice… that guy just wasn't one of them.
He was one of the guys that the Avengers had put in jail. When would people figure out that putting bad guys in jail never keeps them from coming back? This is it, we are going to have to pack up after we beat him. If we can, that is. I immediately yelled across the park we were at for Danny. He saw me in trouble and he shook his head and threw Bri his phone. He yelled at her to call the others as he ran towards me. I was busy trying to fight off the villain who called himself Red Darkness. I saw Danny, out of the corner of my eye, pulling his T-shirt off and stripping down to his suit that was the same colors as our dad's Iron Man suit.
He took out his weapon, a sword, that had been improved to also shoot a laser from the tip. He took over the fighting for me to strip into my suit and take out my father's shield, my new weapon besides my powers. I didn't tell you I had powers? I went with Clint and Natasha and all their kids on a mission once and I'd had powers ever since because me and the kids were exposed to some weird alien power. That was almost seven years ago, when Asher was a baby. Anyways, Red Darkness was pretty surprised to see the both of us wearing what we were. He was especially surprised at my outfit. Probably because nobody knew that Steve Rogers was our father.
My dad had tried his best to keep that a secret, and it was the only thing people didn't know about us. Before I knew it, Brianna was fighting along with us yelling that the others were on their way. Soon, the three of us ended the fight, killing Red Darkness once and for all. The last thing he said, in his last breath, was,
"Daughter of Captain America, you will rue the day you've killed Red Darkness. For I no longer work alone."
Brenton was running over then, as my eyes widened and I fell. He wrapped one strong arm around me and pulled me to my feet.
"Danny," he said, looking at the people who were videotaping.
"I see them. Em, Bri; help me." The three of them went around erasing the videos and pictures from everyone's phones.
Brent led me back to an alley where he had parked his motorcycle and he had told Howie to bring our car. Will and Gav stood next to the cab that had a changed license plate for our next stop, Philadelphia. Gavin and Will both came over to us and asked if I was okay and asked if I got the bad guy. I smiled and nodded as Brent made sure I was standing okay. I rolled my eyes.
"Brent, I'm fine it was… it was what he said. He told me that he doesn't work alone anymore. I saw it in his eyes, the truth. This could be trouble, Brenton. We could have someone else after us now."
"Sophie, we already are in trouble. You and Danny and Bri were seen in the public eye. The cops will be here any minute and then S.H.I.E.L.D. will be here and maybe even all of our parents. We need to get out of here. Now."
"Okay, get everyone here and we will change our plates and go." Howie pulled up with the Porsche and got out and pulled me into his arms.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. You guys all need to stop treating me like I could break at any moment. I will be fine. Stop worrying."
"Is that an order, Sophie?"
"Yes. We are in serious trouble, Howie. Red Darkness knew who I was as soon as he saw the suit and the shield and he said he doesn't work alone. I think… I think he has his own team."
"What?" Everyone was now in the alley and Danny and Bri started to put on some more clothes over their suits.
"We need to go. We can't get caught. Not after all of this."
Not even twenty minutes after we got on the road, Bri fell asleep in the car. It was a two hour drive to Philadelphia and it was getting pretty late. We'd find a place to crash for the night and look around in the morning. Danny and I were very quiet as we drove on the highway. We both knew that Bri slept through anything so we weren't being quiet for her. Finally Danny broke the silence. He was just as good with silence as Dad was.
"Do you really think he has a team?"
"Yeah, but he defiantly wasn't the leader. That wasn't the way a leader would act. You've seen it with Dad and I've felt it now. He wouldn't, as a leader of a team of villains, die without a big battle with the whole team. If he was the leader he would have made the fight last until the whole team was there. Villain leaders sacrifice themselves last."
"I guess you're right about that, but a team, Sophie? You really think he has a team? After us? Why would they bother?"
"They think we are just kids, they don't know what we are capable of. He let us kill him so he could make us known. He wants to weaken all of our parents and what better way than to kill their kids? You know it would kill them and then they'd be vulnerable to attack."
Danny was silent. "Wow. That's…..kinda smart now that I think about it."
"The good thing is all they really saw was your sword and my shield. I didn't show off my powers and Brianna didn't show off her magic. Nobody really knows that we are more than just normal kids. The only one anybody knows about is Gavin because of incidents at school and stuff. The world has no idea what we can do… what we're truly capable of doing. Our parents all barely know. They just know we have powers, not that they are strong or that we've been practicing them."
"I guess but…."
"Come on, Danny. We've all known each other since we were born. We've played together and fought together. We know each other's weak points so we can help each other work around them. We can do this if we need to."
"We were just looking for our father…. How did it turn into this?"
"I don't know how it did, Danny. I think maybe they were waiting to do this all along. They knew we'd get away from our parents soon enough and they waited for that."
"I don't know, Sophie…. I just don't know."
