Speedrick drove around Axle City park, a little wary that he was back in that city after what happened months ago.

He had messed up his first visit badly. He had flirted with Watts, which ended up almost getting shot by Starla. He had kidnapped Crusher in attempt to make him his, which ended up getting almost killed by Pickle. He had harassed Darington, which made Blaze do mad that he almost killed him before sending him back to Velocity Ville.

Thankfully, he managed to get his monster machine form back and explore other cities, one in particular was Affluen-City, where he met the love of his life…

The same love of his life who's life seems to be in danger, from what he heard.

He had gotten contacted by his lover's grandmother, saying that there was an emergency in Axle City, so he knew that he had to rush over to see what was going on.

Even if it meant risking his life.

Even if it meant facing Blaze and his friends once more.

Speedrick soon made it to the garage where his lover's brother was waiting for him to arrive. Just as he did, he noticed a familiar figure standing at the garage door…

"Lightning boy?"

"SPEEDRICK?!"

Crusher stared at the white truck in shock as he took a step back. Speedrick had the same shocked expression as he blinked at him.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

"ME?! THIS IS AXLE CITY, WHICH IS MY HOME!"

"I… okay, fair enough, but what are you doing here at the garage?" Speedrick crossed his tires.

"Waiting for my brother's boyfriend, which is a surprise because I thought he'd never get one." Crusher gritted his teeth. "What are YOU doing here?"

"Coming to see my boyfriend Glacier after I heard that he was hurt—"

"YOU'RE GLACIER'S BOYFRIEND???" Crusher's jaw dropped. "YOU?! THE PLAY BOY WHO TRIED TO HARASS ME, WATTS AND DARINGTON???"

"You know Glacy??" Speedrick looked confused. "How?!"

"HE'S MY BROTHER!"

"WHAT?!"

"Hey, bro, what's with all the screaming— SPEEDRICK?!" Blaze stared at the white truck in disbelief.

"WHAT THE HELL 'BRO'??!?" Speedrick stared at the two in shock. "YOU TWO ARE BROTHERS??? HOW?!?"

"His father is my blood father," Crusher explained. "He's my half-brother from father's side. Glacier's my half-brother too, but from my mother's side,"

"Okay, I'm getting so confused right now, but enough about me," Speedrick shook his head. "WHERE IS GLACY?!??"

"Wait, SPEEDRICK is Glacier's lover?!?" Blaze's jaw dropped before sighing. "I can see why they're so meant to be, though…"

"He's inside, still in a coma," Crusher replied.

Speedrick didn't waste any time. He zoomed inside, pushing past the others blocking his path. The others, on the other tire, were shocked to see him.

"WHAT IS THIS PLAY BOY DOING HERE IN AXLE CITY?!" Starla yelled out.

"He's… Glacier's boyfriend," Crusher answered, a bit hesitant as he and Blaze joined the group.

"WHAT?!" Stripes looked horrified as Darington zoomed to Blaze to hide, just in case.

"HOW DID YOU, OF ALL TRUCKS, GET A BOYFRIEND?!" Watts shrieked with a growl.

"EXPLAIN THAT LATER, EXPLAIN THIS NOW!" Speedrick demanded, motioning to the unconscious body of his lover. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!"

"Dynama beat him up and left him for dead," Cobra replied as he, Zoom and Chili drove forward.

"Okay, first of all, who THE HELL ARE YOU THREE?!" Speedrick cried out. "Second, WHAT DO YOU MEAN DYNAMA DID THIS TO HIM?! I THOUGHT THEY WERE SIBLINGS!"

"Well, Dynama is a psycho, so…" Crusher shrugged.

"…Okay, that's fair," Speedrick sighed.

"And the name's Zoom," Zoom huffed. "I'm red boi's reverse self,"

"I'm Cobra! Crusher's reverse self," Cobra introduced himself before motioning to Chili. "And this is Pickle's reverse self, Chili,"

"What's up?" Chili greeted with a shrug.

"Okay, but WHY DID DYNAMA BEAT HIM UP?!" Speedrick shrieked.

"They tried to kill me, but Dad stopped them, and Glacier bailed them out," Crusher explained.

"Oh, so it's YOUR fault," Speedrick huffed.

"Hey! WATCH YOUR MOUTH!" Pickle snarled as he drove into the garage after he went out to check if Dynama or Calvin were there.

"Gah! The devil's out!" Speedrick moved closer to Glacier's unconscious body.

"Nah, that's Dynama," Pickle shrugged.

"I mean, yeah, you're not wrong, but still!" Speedrick hissed.

"Why is HE here?!" Pickle demanded.

"He's Glacier's boyfriend," Crusher replied.

"WHAT?! HOW?!"

"Yeah, how did an actual play boy like yourself get a boyfriend?" Starla questioned.

"I'm… actually curious about that too," Crusher folded his tires. "How did you even end up with Glacier? I know that he's poly, but I've never seen him ever interested in romance…"

"Well…" Speedrick hissed as he felt himself blush. "it… it was a few months after you all kicked me out of Axle City. I snuck out of prison and made my way to Affluen-City. I found myself face to face with Dynama, daughter of Calvin and Krisha and the owner of one of their businesses. She caught me trying to hide and offered to help me out. Then… we started dating,"

"YOU DATED DYNAMA???" Crusher looked so horrified.

"She's a devil!" Pickle cried out. "She doesn't have love for anyone but herself! And her business! And her money! And killing! Not in that order!"

"Well, I dated her for her business AND for protection against the police," Speedrick shrugged. "She most likely dated me for my money 'cause I'm rich,"

"Of course," Stripes rolled his eyes.

"Still didn't answer how you and Glacier became a thing," Watts pointed out. "Unless you became a thing for his portion of the business too,"

"Highly unlikely," Crusher said. "Glacier doesn't have any inheritance. He's younger than Dynama,"

"Yeah, I had no interest until that one day…" Speedrick sighed at the memory. "Dynama and I were on our 'date' at the park. She was going all blah, blah, blah, and being her braggy self when I caught sight of Glacier, who was reading a book nearby a tree,"

"Glacier READS??" Crusher's eyes widened in surprise. "Huh, that's news to me,"

"Yeah, well, I found him like that, and I was curious what he was reading about, so I ditched Dynama and went to him. The rest of the time, we were at the park, reading that book together. He fell asleep on me, and I…" Speedrick blushed deeply with a gulp. "I… found him pretty cute asleep… and awake…"

"Okay… imagining that is CUTE!" Cobra squealed.

"Uhm… thanks…?" Speedrick cleared his throat. "Anyway, we hung out more, and I found out that he liked me back, and it makes him all flustered, so it took time for him to admit it. We started dating—"

"And you started cheating Dynama," Starla deadpanned.

"Yeah, pretty much," Speedrick chuckled. "She found out and wanted to kill me SO much. I never told her that I was with Glacier, though. I didn't want to put him in danger,"

"Aww, that's so nice of you, Speedrick," AJ smiled. "Looks like you've changed since the last time you were here,"

"Well, yeah, Glacy's softened me up," Speedrick sighed.

"Thats good," Crusher smiled. "We need to weaken Glacier anyway,"

"Wait, wait, what do you mean by that???"

"We found him beatened up, but he hasn't woken up, and when he does, he might kill us," Stripes pointed out.

"Ugh, fine…" Speedrick sighed. "What do you need him to do anyway?"

"Betray Dynama, but hearing your story makes me think we don't need that anymore…" Crusher chuckled.

"I have a better idea," Cobra offered. "Maybe we can…"
