Another chapter done, and no the story is not close to being over. So, um, thanks for all the reviews, and I hope everyone has a happy new year!

Disclaimer: I still own nothing but the story and my original characters.

………………………………...

As I was kneeling, coughing up water, I couldn't believe that we had just gotten out of that alive.

"Are you alright?" asked Warren.

"I've been better. What is going on?"

"I don't know when I showed up at your house, you were already gone. When I followed your trail here, I found you at the bottom of the pool. I thought I was too late.. I'm just so glad.. I mean.. I don't know what I would have done if.. Um.. Your room mate is fine by the way." I desided to ignore his rambling.

"Oh, thank God."

"Come on," he said, helping me up. "We need to get out of here." We started running to get out of the place. By the way, running in a wet "walking" cast is not fun or easy. And by the way again, I had no idea where we were. I'm guessing a gym somewhere that had a pool. I don't go to the gym, working out is not my thing. So I had no idea. Before the whole running away idea could actually work, we were stopped by a voice.

"You aren't going anywhere." This badly dressed villain appeared in front of us. Like really, even Warren's super hero costume was pretty bad, but at least he looked some what hot. This guy looked like a gay figure skater on crack. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with figure skating or gay people but I mean, Crack, come on! It kills! But forgetting about all of that, that voice was so familiar to me.

"Who are you?" yelled Warren.

"Yes, I guess it's about time I shared my name. They call me.."

"David," I said interrupting him.

"What?" Warren and the guy asked at the same time.

"David, what the hell? I know that's you. And what do you mean they call you. Who is they? You aren't even a real villain. You are just some lame ass guy trying to look cool. Seriously, what is your problem." I didn't really care that I was talking smack to a villain. The guy was pissing me off. First he wouldn't leave me alone at work, then he scares the shit out of me, and last he kidnaps me and puts me at the bottom of a pool. I could have died! There was no way I was going to let him get away with this.

"I do not know what you are talking about, my name is not David," he said, somewhat changing his voice.

"Cut the crap David. I should have known it was you leaving all those messages, and the phone calls. How long have you been watching me?"

"Messages? What messages?" asked Warren. Poor guy, he was so confused.

"I'll tell you later," I said.

"No tell him know. You already ruined my whole elaborate plan," David said taking off his mask. Man he was acting like such a baby.

"Hey, I know you," said Warren. "You graduated a year after I did at Sky High."

"Yep, I went there. I had no intentions of becoming a villain or a hero. I just wanted a normal life. Then I met her," he said pointing at me. Wow, I love how this is all my fault. If anyone ever has the chance of getting involved with super heroes or villains, run away as fast as you can. Your life will end up so much easier. "Evy was the girl of my dreams, but she wouldn't give me the time of day. I knew she was just being nice when she gave me her number. I was just glad she didn't give me the rejection hot line."

"You know I was thinking about it. I guess it's a good thing I didn't," I whispered to Warren.

"I was so worried when I heard she had hurt herself, and even though I was told not to visit, I was on my way to her house, when I saw you walking in," David said to Warren, and he did not sound happy. "I knew something was up. I remembered you from school. You were never one to be social. I knew there had to be another reason for you visiting Evy. I never expected to hear what you said on the phone though."

"That was just a joke. We are not lovers," I said. David smiled and started walking toward me. I wanted to jump behind Warren to hide from the crazy man, but I didn't know how my hot head would feel about that. Did I just say "my" hot head. I didn't mean that. I almost forgot that he hasn't talked to me in two weeks. He was defiantly not my hot head.

"If it was just a joke, you won't mind coming with me, will you Evy?" David asked, reaching for my hand. Warren shoved me behind him. His whole body was now covered in flames.

"Don't touch her," Warren said.

"I see there are feeling then. Unless you are forgetting Mr. Peace, your fire can't hurt me."

"Peace?" I asked. I had never known Warren's last name. "Hey, that's kind of funny. Warren Peace. Like War and Peace. That's a good one." I think I was making jokes to avoid the idea of him having feelings for me. I had just spent two weeks thinking he hated me and now he showed feelings, man would he make up his mind.

"Evy, shut up," said Warren. I guess it wasn't a good time for jokes. I just couldn't take David seriously. I mean, the guy was wearing a fruity outfit, and his dog of choice was a Bichon Frises, it just didn't spell tough guy to me. Maybe if he wore black like Warren and owned a Doberman pinscher or a Bullmastiff. Now those were manly dogs.

"You might as well get rid of the fire, you can't burn me. I'll just put it out!" said David, with a laugh. He was right, but I knew there had to be a way to stop him. I was never good in science. Now English and history were my favorite subjects. I always got A's. Science though, I just had no idea. But I did know enough to think of a plan.

"Boil him," I whispered to Warren.

"What?" he asked.

"You can't burn him but you still can bring your body temperature up high enough to boil him. What happens when you boil water, it evaporates." At first Warren just looked at me like I was crazy, but then my idea seemed to register into his brain. "In fact, you don't even need to boil him. If he even sends water at you, just make sure you're hot enough that it doesn't even do anything. You will cancel his power out. Both powers will do no good, but hey, you look like you could take him in a fist fight." Warren smiled at me and then got to his super hero work. My idea sort of worked. I mean, it did work where both powers were pretty much pointless. The only bad part was because all this water was becoming steam like, I couldn't see anything. All I could hear was punching and groans from, I'm guessing David. It was also a bad idea because once the steam was everywhere and you couldn't see, I heard Warren start to curse.

"What happened?" I called out.

"Where is he?"

"You lost him?" I asked in disbelieve.

"I can't see anything."

"Yeah, but you lost him."

"Well I couldn't see him could I?"

"Do you think he got away?"

"Again, I can't see him."

"Well, I guess we will have to wait until you can see." Gee, I guess the romance is gone because he was being as short tempered with me as he was when we first met. Guys are so lame. I didn't want to wait till I could see again to walk over to him so I just started to walk. It was a real dumb idea on my part because the second I slipped on some water, I fell right back into that pool that Warren had saved me from. I was cursing like a sailor, and Warren was laughing his head off. If the romance wasn't gone before, it sure was now. He was not doing a good job of saving me! I pulled myself out of the pool and followed the sound of laughing until I was standing next to him. I couldn't even look him in the eyes, I was so embarrassed. I crossed my arms over my chest once I could clearly see him again. I was wearing a white shirt. I didn't want him to be able to clearly see me.

"Come on, lets get you home," I heard him say. I still wasn't looking at him. I started to follow him out of the building we were in. I had been right it was one of the local gyms. As we walked in silence I noticed just how cold I was. After being in so much water, and having to stay in wet clothes, the coldness was finally getting to me. As I started to shiver, I felt an arm go around my shoulder and instantly felt the heat coming from his body. Maybe the romance wasn't gone after all.

………………………………...

So I totally took this chapter a whole different way than i first planned to. I want to say thank you to Love.Always.Alice.and.Jasper for your review because once I read it I actually liked having David be the new villain. I wasn't going to have him be it but then I thought, why the hell not, I might as well.

And thanks to everyone else who reviewed, it always makes me wicked happy!
