(ROMEO'S POV)
Romeo was bored.
Of course, he should not be surprised. Things do tend to get that way when he had nothing to do. It had been years since he had found a candidate to be his champion, but just like all the others, the newest candidate went down the same path and tried to rebel against him.
Seriously though, finding a friend shouldn't be this difficult.
He had been in a lousy mood lately. Yesterday, Xar- no, Prisoner X had gotten out of her cell and tried once again to escape the sunshine institute. Good thing the Warden's associates knew what they were doing.
Lately he has been keeping an eye on this new group of heroes that had named themselves 'The New Order of the Stone'.
Which brings him to his next question, what happened to Soren, Gabriel, Magnus and Ellegaard?
Ever since the Wither-Storm fiasco, everyone stopped talking about them and about this new group lead by someone named Jesse.
Over the last year, he had watched the New Order like a hawk under various disguises. And he had taken mental notes of the members of this group, seeing if any of them are candidates worthy of the honor of being his champion.
Axel? No. He spends too much time running around blowing stuff up with TNT alongside Magnus in Boom-Town.
Olivia? No. She reminded him too much of Xa- no. Stop thinking about her.
Petra? Maybe she might be a good candidate, but she did have a fiery temper.
Ivor? Hell no.
Lukas? Just not that type of person.
Jesse on the other hand, he was perfect. He had all of the qualities that Romeo had been looking for. He was a great leader, skilled in combat, excellent problem solver.
At once, Romeo's foul mood dissipated completely. This could be it, the perfect friend for him.
But a few weeks ago, while Romeo was doing one of his observations, he noticed something strange. Namely; one of the citizens that lived in Jesse's town.
Normally, he tried not to think about his old friends, but that hair, strikingly familiar. it reminded him of Fred. He also seemed about the right build as well.
No, no. It couldn't be. It wouldn't be. Fred was dead, Romeo very clearly remembered seeing Fred disappear in white smoke right in-front of him and Xara while he was getting carried away. Then again, he was tired at the time of seeing that figure, and it wasn't as if he was watching that closely either. It was probably nothing, probably just a trick of the light.
Thinking about it, he did notice that Jesse hadn't been seen around town for a few days. Pfft, probably off on one of his mini adventures of course.
Deciding to pay the Warden a visit, he clapped his hands and disappeared in purple particles.
Author's Notes: This chapter wasn't meant to be long at all, just a quick interlude showing some of Romeo's thoughts back in Jesse's world while Jesse was away battling White Pumpkins.
Next chapter will be the start of Episode 7.
