The man punched Ben in the face after Ben had grabbed him and wouldn't let go. I heard a clatter on the floor and looked down to see a mask on the floor. I looked up to see that Bens mask had fallen off. I heard the man whispers Ben's name. Danny walked up to the two of them and separated them. Ben was not happy.

"LET ME THE FUCK GO, HES THE REASON WHY I'M COVERED WITH SCARS. HES THE REASON WHY I WAS LOCKED UP IN A CELL AND EXPERIMENTED ON LIKE A FUCKING LAB RAT. LET ME GO!"

Danny was struggling to keep Ben under control. Ben was reaching towards the man while he was backing away. I looked around to see that multiple mall employees had their phones out and the mall security was coming towards us. I ran up to Danny while he was struggling to control still rampant Ben.

"Igris, we got to go, people are recording us and the security is coming!"

"I know, here take Cas for a second."

Danny handed over the struggling Ben as he tried to maul the guy, who was already running towards the security guard for safety. Ben's arms were flailing while his legs were trying to get a grip on the smooth floor. Danny walked up to the two of us and punched Ben in the face to knock him out.

I almost dropped Ben when I felt all of his dead weight fall onto me. I looked at Danny with wide eyes.

"I know, I know, he's not going to be happy, just take him out of here, get back to the house, I'll get everything. Now go!"

Danny helped me pick up Ben and put him over my shoulder. He thrust the cell phone and mask into my hand and told me to run before he turned off and ran away in a different direction.

Another security guard chased Danny while the other was talking to the man in the suit. When I saw the man point at me, I took that as a cue to leave and get the fuck out of there.

I turned around and started to run in the mall with the security guard behind me. It was hard to run with Ben on my shoulders, I knew I couldn't run like this for long. Looking ahead, I saw a huge clothing department with those huge circular racks.

I ran into the department store and I crouched down so he wouldn't see me over the racks. I walked further into the store to lose him. I wasn't paying attention so I ended up walking into a circular rack.

Rubbing my head in pain, I pushed the clothes aside and realized that it was big enough for me and Ben to hide inside.

I walked in and closed the gap I made. I looked at the clothes and realized that I was surrounded by women long dresses and that the rack was at least 6 feet tall to keep the dresses from dragging on the floor too much.

I sat down and set Ben down so he could have his head on my lap.

"Ben? What's going on?"

I looked around, I thought that someone had found us but there was no one in sight.

"Ben? Come on, me and Kevin saw the video online, what happened?"

I looked at the phone in confusion, but there wasn't an ongoing call. A blinking flash of green caught my eye. I grabbed Ben's wrist to look at his watch. Gwen's voice was coming from here.

"Um, Cas is a little bit busy."

"Neo? Where's Be- I mean Cas? All the news channels have a video of the three of you at the man with Cas trying to rip out Harangues throat."

I looked down at Ben and his swollen cheek and his unconscious face.

"Well, we couldn't calm him down and we had to hurry up and get out of there, so...so we punched him in the face to knock him out?"

"YOU DID WHAT?!"

"Shhhh, keep it down, I'm trying to hide from the security guards and other civilians!"

Gwen immediately quieted down but continued to whisper-yell at me.

"I can't believe you guys did that to him."

"Yeah, I know, he's going to be pissed when he wakes up."

"No shit, you and Tennyson better get back here soon."

"Yeah I know, I'll have to wait for Ben to wake up though, I'm not strong enough to carry him for a long time. And he's the only one that can drive."

"Wait, what about Igris, the only thing me and Kevin saw on the video is that he was holding Cas back from ripping out Harangues throat?"

"He went to do some errands after he led one of the security guards away. And why was Cas so mad at that guy?"

I heard Gwen sigh in frustration and she started talking again.

"The man in the suit is Will Harangue, and ever since he found out that Cas is a superhero. He's been trying to prove that Cas is unfit to be a hero and has been trying to get him to fail multiple times. He has even gone as far to hire other villains to go against him."

"What an asshole."

"Yeah, how's Cas doing?"

"I'm ready to rip Harangues fucking throat out."

Ben sat up and ripped his arm from my grasp.

"I can't fucking believe you guys did that to me. Remind me to get Igris back."

Ben looked around and turned back at me with an unbelieving look.

"Did you seriously hide us in a fucking clothes rack?"

Now Ben was starting to piss me off with his language. But I know that if I start talking to him in the same way, it wasn't going to help the situation.

"Yeah, we were being chased by a security guard and this was the closest hiding place, can you keep your voice down?"

Immediately, Ben brought down his voice as he visibly started to calm down. He started talking to Gwen and Kevin.

"What's the situation about the video?"

"It is all over the news Tennyson, almost every channel has the video playing in the background while the news anchor reports about it."

Me and Ben exchanged looks.

"Fuck."
