Sorry for the delay, let me know what you think...
"So is someone going to bring his name up, or are we just going to sit around in silence all day?" Brooke asked.
The group was sitting at the café, they all gathered there after Marcus's funeral. They were all shocked when they found out. It was so unreal. So random. Why Marcus? Why?
"I think they know about us." Haley told them.
"I don't know, I mean he was naked in the water when they found him. How could the police know about our powers?" Brooke questioned.
"Not the police Brooke."
"Then who?" Nathan asked.
"Whoever killed Marcus. Think about it, Marcus always, always had his disguise on under his clothes. Whoever killed him, certainly didn't want the police to know about who he was. They stripped him, and dumped him in a river to be found."
They were all silent. Haley's theory seemed really reasonable.
"He had just left my house." rachel spoke up. "And I know for a fact, he had the disguise on underneath."
"Well, what...what are we going to do?" Jake asked.
"What is there we can do?" Lucas spoke up.
"We got to be careful. No one should be alone any more."
"Well, maybe were not in danger. Maybe it was just a random act of some kind of violence?" Rachel questioned.
They all fell silent, yet again. Was she right? Was Haley right? Did people know of them? Were they too soon going to find a fate like Marcus had?
"Maybe we should cool it down for a while, you know on the whole super hero thing?" Brooke offered.
"I agree." Haley chimed in.
"You agree? So what, we wake up the next morning to hear about a death, a death that could of been prevented , if we were there?" Peyton finally spoke up.
"I'm with Peyton. Marcus died being a hero. He'd want us to continue." Jake stated.
"We can talk about this later. I think I'm going to go lay down. This day, was just to long. To sad."
"I'll walk you home Brooke." Lucas got up, putting his jacket around her creamy white skin. It was a bit chilly out, and he didn't want her to be cold.
"We same with me. Uh, I guess we'll all just talk tomorrow then?" Nathan asked.
"I guess so."
One, by one they all left the café. Lucas locked it and he and Brooke set out on the walk to her house.
"How are you doing Broody?" she asked.
"Honestly, not so good. Marcus was a good kid. I'm really worried about what's going to happen Brooke."
"Me too. I mean, I feel fantastic when we are saving lives but..."
"But what?"
"But I don't know I'm not a super hero. Sure I've done some awesome things with my powers. But what if they find me? I wont be able to save myself. I wouldn't know what to do."
Lucas stopped and turned her around and grabbed her hands. He stared deep into her eyes as they were filled with fear.
"Brooke Davis, you listen to me. You are a super hero. You are a strong, brave and beautiful women, and if and when you are put in a situation you will kick ass. Like you always have, and you always will."
"But I'm scared Lucas."
"I'm scared too. More then you can believe. But you have to stay strong okay? We'll figure this thing out. Let's just be there, for each other, for ourselves, and for our friends."
Brooke nodded as she reached her lips up and met his. They kissed a few more times as they continued, hand in hand back to her house.
"You going to walk home?" Brooke asked as they were at her door.
"Actually I think I'm going to fly." he smiled.
"Be careful babe."
"I'll call you later."
Lucas nodded and gave her a kiss as he started to walk and then took off into the sky, of course after making sure nobody was watching. He quickly realized he forgot his cell phone back at the café. He went down a block away from it and walked the rest.
He opened the door and there was his cell phone, on the counter. He walked over when he saw a dark shadow figure in the back walk into view. Scared at first, he back up only to run into someone. Before he could turn around he felt men grab him from behind and gagged his mouth. He let out a yell as a fist full of hair was grabbed and forced his head up staring into a older man's face.
"Hello Lucas. Let's chat..."
