Yeah I'm incorporating that story into the last episode. There was so much
slashy potential and it just works with the story so I'll be following part
of the episode but changing small things. I'm sorry, this chapter is mainly
summary of the episode. If you didn't see it, goo for you, if you did,
sorry. This chapter is long and drags even to my mind and I'm the author.
Back to Virgil's POV.
'Where the hell is he?' Virgil just couldn't seem to find Ritchie. 'I guess he went home.' Virgil caught a glimpse of a clock and noticed that he should be home for dinner in five minutes. 'Shoot! If I'm late again dad's gonna kill me. I'll just have to see Ritchie tomorrow.'
The next day was Saturday so Virgil got an early start on looking for Ritchie. He hadn't been able to reach Ritchie on the shock box (a.n. is that what it's called?) and Ritchie's dad had called saying that Ritchie hadn't come home and hadn't called. Virgil was getting really worried. Suddenly he saw a bright orange car go speeding down the street beneath him (a.n. sorry, but the graphics looked really terrible). Virgil began his pursuit of the speeding car. He finally caught up to the car that was being driven by one of his oldest enemies, Hotstreak. They were starting to fight when three guys on small hovercrafts (???can't think of anything better to call them) jumped down and first shocked Hotstreak so that he fell unconcious. Then in the midst of Virgil thanking them, they shocked him too.
When Virgil woke up he tried to step forward to the glowing force field, but was pulled back by a high tech handcuff type thing. As he was staring at it he heard a grunt and realized that he was connected to Hotstreak. 'Great, just what I need. Ritchie is nowhere to be found and now I've been captured and am handcuffed to Hotstreak. I wouldn't mind being handcuffed to Ritchie. Hotstreak isn't that bad looking, he's just a jackass.' As he is lost in thought Virgil touches the glowing force field only to be shocked (smart one). Francis stands up and takes a minute to assess the situation. Hotstreak is mad and puts Virgil in a headlock.
"Get us out of here" Francis says trying to conjure up a fireball. Something is preventing him from using his power. Virgil then tries to use his power and also fails.
He looks up and says: "it must be the light that are keeping us from using our powers." Just then three more guys dressed in the same matter of armor (if you missed it, think brown storm troopers) come up to the force field and turn it off. Virgil tries to explain that he is a good buy only to be pushed to the floor. He is half out of the cell and can now use his power. He and Hotstreak then kick the guy's asses, only to have more guards come down. They easily defeat the guards. 'We can take the hovercraft and get back home and I can continue my search for Ritchie.' Virgil thinks only to find out that the controls have been fried by Hotstreak (not on purpose).
"Come on we have to find a way to get out of here" Virgil says with only one thing on his mind, Ritchie. They run out the door and hide in the shadows of a building. Virgil turns to look in the window only to see Ritchie, unconscious and bound to a table. Along with Ritchie there is also Rubber Band Man and Talon. 'Ritchie!!!!!' "We have to save Gear!"
"No, what we have to do is get out of here"
"Look, I'm not leaving this island with out him so better help me save him or else you will regret it."
"Why do you care so much? Is he your boyfriend or something?"
"I don't see how it's any of your business if he is" Virgil says with a humph, crossing his arms and giving the chain a tug. Hotstreak looks utterly surprised as he lurches forward from the tug.
"You mean you and him are like, an item. HAHAHA. That's just too much for me to handle. The superhero is dating his sidekick. HAHA" Hotstreak give the chain a return tug as he goes into a fit of laughter.
"I don't see what's so funny about that" Virgil is about to pull on the chain again when they are assaulted by guards on the small hovercrafts. Hotstreak reacts quickly pulling both him and Virgil into the air. Virgil protests as he is being dragged along by the handcuff. Virgil manages to get his disk out and fly along beside Hotstreak as they are being shot at by the guards. Virgil shocks one of the hovercrafts so it turns off and falls into the forest below. They eventually fall into the forest along with the hovercraft. "At least the forest will give us some cover" Virgil says as he starts to walk. They soon encounter the hovercraft that Virgil turned zapped. "Hop on. It's faster than walking." Virgil steps on the hovercraft and gets ready to start flying it. Hotstreak steps on behind him and holds on to Virgil's waist. They are soon being followed by the guards again. Hotstreak is shooting fire back at them while Virgil is steering. "Hold on" is all he can say before he turns up the speed. Hotstreak is almost flung from the vehicle at the sudden acceleration.
"You're going the wrong way"
"No I'm not. I told you that I'm leaving without Gear." Their short exchange before the hovercraft is wreaked and they run into the building. They hide in a small alcove when they hear someone coming. They see a nurse walk by. Hotstreak sinks to the floor and hugs his knees to his chest.
"This is a hospital. I don't do hospitals. I was in a hospital for two years when I was a kid.
'He looks adorable. He's cute when he's vulnerable. But we really need to save Ritchie right now. Who knows what they're doing to him' Virgil contemplates Hotstreak. "Come on" he says and pulls Hotstreakt up so that they can follow the nurse.
They see Edwin Alva Jr. in a tube. They then see the nurse then unlocking the restraints on Ritchie and the others. 'Good. She has a key so we can unlock this stupid handcuff.' Once the nurse has finished transferring her patients to new seats and is walking away Virgil uses his power to steal the key. He unlocks the handcuffs. Hotstreak is a bit too jubilant at the release and makes too much noise. He attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Virgil is kicked in the head by the manly nurse. Hotstreak takes this time to exit; he only cares about himself. When Virgil comes to he is weak. He needs energy. When he tries to absorb energy from a cable near his hand, the manly nurse kicks him again. Virgil can see his fellow meta-humans having all their energy beign sucked out of them. He wants to stop them from causing Ritchie pain. He takes an alternate route, he absorbs energy through his foot. His taking on energy has drained the machine, the others are temporarily safe. Revitalized, he then overpowers all the guards. Virgil then rushes over to Ritchie to see if he is ok.
"Hey Gear, you ok man" Careful to use his code name, Virgil tries to convey all the relief he feels on seeing that Ritchie is ok.
"Hey Vee, what took you so long?" Ritchie says, sounding a bit drained. One of the scientists says that Alva Jr. is in danger; they have to complete the process. Hotstreak returns with Alva as a hostage. Apparently, Hotstreak had his own plan for freeing the captives. "You can use me," Virgil volunteers himself as any superhero would. What came next was surprising. As Virgil was being attached to the machine Hotstreak said: "If he can take it so can I." This was an obvious testosterone war. Hotstreak did not want to appear less of a man than Virgil. As soon as the machine was turned on again expressions of pain appeared on their faces. Ritchie, wanting to keep Virgil's pain to a minimum rushed over to the controls. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" said the scientist in charge. "I am a super genius, I know what I'm doing" Ritchie retorted. Shortly after Ritchie finished Alva Jr. was returned to his former state. As soon as the tube around him was lowered he hugged his father.
On the way back to Dakota Ritchie was curled up in Virgil's lap, Virgil gently stroking his hair. Hotstreak sat across from them, some of his thoughts included: 'why can't I find a nice guy? Girl, I mean Girl. I'm not gay. Although, I do find Static quite attractive. I'm straight. Talon's hot. Girls are hot. I want to sleep with a girl not a guy.' Virgil was just happy to see that Ritchie was okay. Ritchie was just happy to be with Virgil. But the thing most prominent on their minds was getting back to their hide out and picking up where they left off.
But that is chapter four. Sorry if you got bored. I hope you enjoyed it, so please review. The more reviews I get get the quicker I update, FYI. I will probably be updating mainly on weekends, I didn't have too much homework tonight and that is why I was able to finish this chapter on a Monday. So I will hopefully get chapter four up by Saturday night, this will be more likely with more reviews. You know what to do!
