Wawa on 4th and Westley

2:42 pm

"I could use a shave," said Jake as he tossed a razor in the shopping cart.

It had almost been a week since he had shaved his face. One might think that by having blond hair his facial hair would pull in all of the women and he would be the newest Chris Hemsworth, but his beard looked like peach fuzz on a pale white paper.

"Hey hurry up will you! We need to be back home Isaac must have woken up by now and we needs to change his bandages." said a flustered Jessica as she placed some iodine and medicine in the cart.

"Relax, it's not like he is going anywhere he's crippled." said the blonde sarcastically as he rolled his aquatic blue eyes.

"You are such a dick." said Jessica as she paced down the aisle with long strides.

Occasional store trips were a must to the trio. It had been an adventure for them since they were in high school late after school they would take it to sneak out of their homes and in Isaac's red toyota camry they would venture the streets through Walmart. On one particular night the three stumbled on

She was wearing a checkered black and red flannel shirt that she just flung on to not have to shower, with crisp peppermint jeans, and her black flats. Jessica's hair dangled over her shoulders and whiplashed as she paced faster and faster down the store looking for essentials.

Jake was wearing a black and white Brooklyn Nets Hoodie along with some black sweats and sandals. His blond hair was a mess dangling over his forehead, but it did not diminish the strong posture he walked with while pacing behind a speeding Jessica.

"Is that it? You might as well bring the whole damn store with you jeez..." he said panting trying to catch his breath.

"Since when are you so bent out of shape?" asked Jess while tossing a big tub of ice cream on to the counter.

"Oh I don't know I mean my body is made out of fucking steel or metal? You think i'm still 148? No I probably weigh a ton or something." he said looking at his stomach.

"Hey you think Kyle woke up?"

"Your total is twenty-eight dollars and 75 cents, would you like paper or plastic bags?" said the elderly clerk with a friendly smile.

"Plastic.I still don't think it was a good idea to leave him with Isaac, I mean dude he hates kids. How are you gonna torture him like that." he said tossing a iodine bottle in a bag.

Jess paid the clerk and they headed back out to the Bentley. She pressed open the truck and with the help of her metallic friend began to load the car.

"Hey Jess."

"What did you forget to buy shaving cream with that razor?"

"How did you? Never mind. Shut up and hear me out." He said taking off his Jets hoodie and tossing it in the back seat.

"Well I'm listening?" said Jess as she sat inside the car and buckled on her seatbelt.

Jacob looked at her with a sullen look as he placed his hands on the steering wheel.

"Do you think Isaac and me...the kid...that these powers will let us live our lives on the regular?"

Jessica looked at her best friend in defeat. He always dreamed about playing football and that his passion would never be the same again as his skin made him something else. The brunette also knew that Isaac would never be able to continue his career and travel the world because of his unstable body. Brandon practically begged her to not tell the boys about how Isaacs's body heat was unstable and it was proven when they saved the building. How was he able to harness those flames within his own body without consequences? In her mind, she wondered what their lives would have been like had they stayed behind and not gone to that party.

She rested her head on his shoulder blade and told her friend what he needed to hear,

"Everything is going to be ok. You...Isaac...and me. We will graduate and live our lives you just be patient you steel idiot."

With a giant grin on his face he started the car and they headed back home.
