Chapter 2: A Few Words of Comfort
*2:50 PM, Beverly Hills High School, Friday*
Another day.
Another day had just ended at Beverly Hills High School, and me and my friends were *still* trying to help me get over the loss of my parents.
Then, it got worse.
*Mandy* just *had* to come by and ruin my day even more than it already has been.
Just 2 nights ago, right after my dad had died, we had been sent to WOOHP for another mission. We had to once again find and defeat Waverly, the freak from our "Fugitives" mission (I don't know his real name, so I made up one). He made copies of my parents, which made me even angrier than I had been at Tim Scam for killing my REAL parents. I just up and kicked Waverly's butt back to jail. All three girls were surprised at my sudden skills. Now, back to the present. All this reminiscing is starting to make me cry again.
"Well, well, if it isn't the *loser posse* again," Mandy started, but then Clover interrupted.
"Look, Mandy, today is *not* a day that you want to mess with us, because my boyfriend here is having a *really* rough day," Clover said, gesturing towards me.
"Well, then, I guess *he's* the biggest loser here!" Mandy said with her usual snotty tone.
"Listen, Mandy!" Sam exclaimed. She was mad.
But, I had had just about enough.
Before Sam could interject, I had rushed forward, grabbing Mandy by her shirt collar and lifting her up into the air.
"*Listen to me, Mandy!!*" I exclaimed with a tone that neither Sam, Alex or Clover had *ever* seen before. "I've had enough of your incessant, non- stop, *unrelenting* snotty behavior! You've berated the girls ever since you could first talk, and you've berated me ever since I came to this state! You've just kept on lashing out at us, but although the girls can take it, I *can't* anymore! For your information, some *freak* killed my parents last night!!!" I raised my fist up, ready to slam Mandy back into the last millenium. "So, unless you want me to punch your lights back to the previous millenium, *leave us ALONE!!*" The last word echoed throughout the whole school. I let go of Mandy and she dropped to the floor. She backed away a few seconds later.
"*Nick?*" Alex asked.
"It wasn't my fault! She was getting on my last nerve!" I replied.
*11:05 PM, Alex's House*
I decided to stick with Alex and the girls for the weekend, so as to avoid any unneccessary explosions. Currently, I was hanging out with Alex, watching something new, called Code Lyoko (Author's Note: Watch that show! It's on at 5:30 PM on Cartoon Network's Miguzi! It's WAY cool!), but, I just couldn't keep my mind on the show. Alex suddenly realized what was on my mind. "Something up, Nick?" she asked me. "... ... Yeah," I finally replied. "I still don't know how Tim Scam found about my family. I mean, how did he do it? And why, *why* did he *have* to kill them?!" I wailed. "Whoa, it's okay, Nick," Alex replied, putting her hand on my shoulder. I looked at her for a few seconds. I then hugged her with all my might, crying my heart out in this moment. Alex was as surprised as I was. "Why them, Alex? *Why them?* *Why me?!*" I wailed, crying into Alex's shoulder. She suddenly smiled, and wrapped her arms around me. "I'm not sure, but I'm glad we both have someone to confide in," she replied. I looked into her dark blue eyes (A/N: is that her eye color?) and said, "Alex? Is there *anything I can do*?" Then, she kissed me on the cheek and said, "Well, one thing, is to believe in us- especially me. Listen..." She pulled me closer and continued. "...I'll always be there for you. We all are. Clover, Sammie, even WOOHP, is there. We've got a mission in life, and I promise that when we find Tim Scam, we'll give him what's coming to him!" "Thanks, Alex. You don't know how much that means to me." I snuggled up closer and fell asleep. A few seconds later, she did, too.
*3:39 AM, Alex's House*
I then woke up after having heard a weird beep. I knew what that meant.
The next second, Alex woke up, too.
And, the next second, the couch we were sleeping on flipped over and sent us falling through a tube system again.
"What is it *now*, Jerry?!" Alex wailed.
"I don't think you want to know," I replied.
We finally landed inside a WOOHP office, and were greeted by Jerry.
"Listen, Jerry, this is *not* the time. I'm still recovering from what happened to...my...parents?" I stated, then trailed off when I noticed that Jerry wasn't there. It was- Tim Scam!
"Well, well, ladies and gents, we meet again," he stated matter-of-factly.
Then, all of a sudden, my eyes glowed a fierce yellow.
Tim was then surrounded in an aura of the same color my eyes were glowing.
I riased one hand, telekinetically taking Tim with me. I then pointed to the left wall, and he flew in that direction, slamming into the wall, hard enough to knock him out cold.
Then, my eyes returned to normal.
"Wow! How did you do that?" Alex asked me.
"Do what?" I replied. My head was spinning a little.
"That glowy-eye trick! You just picked him up with some telepathic powers and slammed him into that wall like a pastrami!"
"I don't know, but he won't be out for much longer! We need to make a break for it!" I replied, my eyes again glowing yellow. The door in front of us opened, and we ran off. I made sure to grab 2 jetpack backpacks before we entered the hallway. "Strap these on. These should give us a head-start," I had said to Alex.
*4:35 AM, Sam's House*
Back at Sam's house, they had been calling Alex's Compowder for hours when they finally got a response. "Alex? Where the heck have you been?" Sam asked. "No time for missed communications, girls! Get your butts down to WOOHP! Tim Scam's on the run!" I said before the connection was severed.
When Sam and Clover had arrived, we had taken control of anti-gravity cycles and gave chase. But, when Tim Scam took a laser gun and fired on the girls, I thought he had shot them like he had my mom and dad, while in reality he had only managed to scratch them, it was enough to push me over the edge. My eyes glowed their fierce yellow again, but this time, a fierce energy aura of the same eye-color sprang up around me. I hopped off of my cycle, and once I did, electricity started flowing all around me. Then, the electrical energy converged into a ball in my hands. I then fired the energy at Scam's cycle in a giant beam that blew his cycle up.
I then saw him flip up and say, "Ha! I just escaped before WOOHP agents could catch me!"
Oh, was *he* wrong.
My eyes glowed their fierce yellow.
Sam and Clover looked at me, and nearly went into a panic attack in their surprise.
I telepathically lifted him into the air, then I slammed him into a wall, wrapping him in a telepathic energy field.
"Try escaping from *that* before the WOOHP agents come," I said.
*5:08 AM, WOOHP Briefing Room*
Jerry had just found us.
"Many thanks for apprehending Tim Scam, everyone."
"No big," I replied.
"It was Nick, not us, Jerry," Sam noted. "He displayed some amazing powers out there."
"Aw, Sammie..." I started blushing.
