This is my second fanfic, and I only own Antimatter & related characters.

I'd like to thank Draconmouth for reviewing my story, although I would like to know you she thinks Antimatter is.

Even though Draconmouth was the only person that reviewed, I'm going to put up the next chapter. Enjoy!

Chapter 3

The Explanation

Virgil opened the door and couldn't believe who he saw!

"Rubberband Man?!?!"

"Hi Virgil! Is Sharon home?"

"Yeah, but-how did you-what's going on?"

Virgil kept doing that until Sharon came to the door. She took one look and RBM and said, "Adam! You're okay! How did you get away?"

She hugged him as he said, "What are you talking about?"

"How did you get away from Antimatter?" Sharon asked, after letting go of him.

"Get away?!?!"

"Yeah! Static and Gear saw her kidnap you!" Virgil said, still shocked.

"Oh no. Can we sit down? I've got a lot of explaining to do."

They all found a spot to sit in the living room and RBM said, "Okay, where do I start?"

"How about when she started fighting you?" Virgil asked.

"About that, we weren't fighting."

"WHAT?!?!" Sharon and Virgil said in unison.

"That's right," RBM said, "Antimatter asked me to practice with her because my powers are similar to Ebon's. I agreed. I tried to call you, but the line was busy."

"That would be Virgil's fault."

"Quiet!" Virgil said to Sharon, "So you and Antimatter were practicing together and when Static and Gear flew by they showed up half-way though it and thought it was real."

"They may have seen one of the times that she created Ebon's vortex thing that he uses to travel. She did that so that it would seem more real."

Virgil was thinking, oops, then he realized something. "The police still think that Antimatter kidnapped you! They've got an APB for both of you!"

"Oh great." RBM said, "Now we have to find her and tell the police what really happened before they find her!"

RBM left and Virgil went to his room. He called Gear on his Shock Vox (he got it back) and told him what happened. He got into uniform and "found" RBM and "found" out about Antimatter not being a criminal. "You go to the Police station!" Static said, "I'll find Gear, tell him, and we'll look for Antimatter!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Antimatter landed after a hard day of training. She began to take off her mask when she heard a gun click and a man say "Freeze!"

She turned around to see a police car with a man behind it.

A police officer with a gun.

"What is..."

"You have the right to remain silent..."

"No I don't!" Antimatter said as she ran down the alley. Bullets ricocheted off the walls, but she put up an energy field to protect herself. She was getting tired, though. She ran down the alley with the police following her. At the other end of the alley was the Meta-breed.

Antimatter had two choices: Go with the possibly phony cop or go with the Meta-breed.

She didn't like the sound of either one of those.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RBM, Static, and Gear all flew through the sky (technically, RBM bounced). They saw Antimatter running through an alley and stop. They saw the cop (that obviously hadn't heard the chief's message about to not follow Antimatter) and the Meta-breed on the other end. They tried to save Antimatter, but Ebon got her first. "I've got a score to settle with you!" He said right before he, Antimatter, and the rest of the breed disappeared. "We've got to find them!" Static said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Antimatter was dropped off at the breed's new hideout. She stood up and charged up energy bolts. "All right, what is this? Everyone-gang-up-on- me-day?"

"Very funny. Now, how about we play a little game of revenge!" Ebon leaped at her, but she got out of the way. She managed to take Shiv and Talon out, but she got too weak to get Ebon. "Ha! I knew you had a limited amount of energy!" Antimatter nearly collapsed, but Gear got there and took out Ebon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Afterwards, the Meta-breed got put into a tougher prison and the Dakota duo apologized to Antimatter for thinking she was a criminal. "It's okay, really! Don't worry about it!"

They still felt a little guilty. "Say, Antimatter," Gear said, "If it's O.K. with Static, maybe you could join the team." Static did a double- take.

"Umm... maybe. But I think I need time to think about it first." Antimatter said. She flew away, but not before looking at the other to and saying to herself, "Maybe some other day." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, how did you like it? Do you think I should put Antimatter in future stories? Please review!
