Part 3: Why In WOOHP's Name

Saturday morning...

9:32 AM, Alex's House

It had only been a day since we had captured Tim Scam once again, and in the weirdest way, too.

When I saw Tim Scam the first time inside WOOHP last night, my eyes turned a fierce yellow and I was able to smack him around like a rag doll using some newly-discovered psychic powers that seemed to surface when I got extremely mad.

Currently, I was in Alex's yard, testing out these cool new powers.

I saw Carmen's laundry nearby (Carmen, Alex's mother) and decided to try something new. I focused my mind on the basket, and the dirty clothes became engulfed in an aura of psychic energy the same color as my glowing eyes.

I pointed up, and all of the laundry flew up into the air and swirled around.

Unbeknownst to me, Alex was watching my little performance.

I pointed 5 times at certain spots on the clothesline, and 5 pieces of laundry folded across the line.

I repeated the process until all of the laundry was folded neatly across the clothesline. Man, would Carmen be gawking at this!

It was at that moment that Alex walked outside.

"I saw that. That was pretty cool!" she said to me.

"Yeah, I think I'm getting the hang of these powers," I replied, then I looked up into the sky.

Alex sat down by me and said, "Still feeling bummed about your mom and dad?"

"Yeah," I replied simply. "We've taken care of him 3 times already, (A/N: first 2 captures references to Totally Spies episodes "The New Jerry" and "Mommies Dearest") and I still don't know how he found out about my family! I just don't get it..."

Alex just put her arm around me.

"It just baffles me, Alex. I mean, we're all spies! I should have been able to see that coming! I should have been able to figure that he'd try something like that. Just like Sammie, perception is what I do! I don't understand how it could have slipped!" I continued.

"Hey, you know the night this started, I heard a strange noise nearby. I thought it was just the cat jumping off something, but that must have been him!" I realized.

Alex looked a little concerned.

"Don't worry, Nick. We'll get through this," she said, pulling me closer. "Even if we have to get Jerry in on it."

"Thanks, Alex," I said, hugging her back-

-when something in a nearby bush caught my eye.

It was a flash of red and yellow.

Knowing perfectly well who that was, I turned my head towards that bush, my eyes once again glowing their psychic yellow.

Said bush was engulfed in a yellow glow and lifted into the air, revealing that Sam and Clover were watching us.

"Um...busted..." Clover said softly.

"It's all right, Clover. I know you're only watching out for me," I replied matter-of-factly.

12:39 PM, Alex's House

Later that afternoon, Alex and I were watching TV again, when Clover busted through the door, nearly out of breath.

"What's wrong now, Clover?" I asked, starting to worry.

"Tim Scam's attacking WOOHP!!" she exclaimed.

Nothing more needed to be said.

Alex and I quickly suited up and ran off with Clover.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

12:50 PM, WOOHP Headquarters

We all saw him.

Tim Scam was firing blasts here and there from a gigantic laser gun.

"Hey, Scam! Stop this stuff NOW!" I shouted to him.

He just fired another laser blast at us, which we all dodged.

When I got my composure back, I used my psychic powers on him, but-

-nothing happened.

"What the...? Why isn't this working? Last time I used those powers on you, I shook you around like a propeller!!" I exclaimed.

"My new suit absorbs the psychic energy," he said.

Then he fired so fast, all I saw was a blur before-

-the energy blast hit Alex.

She flew backwards from the force of the impact, and when she landed-

-she wasn't moving.

Ok, let me tell you something. When we got to this scene, my anger towards Tim Scam was at its breaking point.

But when he shot Alex a few seconds ago, he pushed me way over the edge.

Tim was REALLY gonna get it now.

"Alex!!" Sam and Clover shouted before rushing to her side.

Then, Tim Scam, Sam, and Clover all stared at me.

My whole body was glowing a sun-bright yellow.

"That's IT, Scam! I warned you in past encounters not to cross me, but you just didn't listen, DID YOU??!!" I exclaimed, holding my hands up into the sky and gathering energy.

I didn't know that Alex was still alive, as I was focusing on defeating Tim Scam once and for all, but she had just woken up, courtesy of Sam and Clover, so she heard my next speech.

"I thought I'd seen you at your worst when you killed my parents, but when you shot Alex a few seconds ago, you pushed me way past my breaking point! I love Alex very much, but you can't see that, CAN YOU?!" I explained. The last sentence caused Alex to gasp in surprise.

"This time, you are going down for GOOD, Tim Scam! This one's for Alex!!" I yelled, a giant ball of sun-bright yellow energy forming in my outstretched hands.

'He does love me,' Alex thought, smiling.

"Terra Force!!" I exclaimed, throwing the energy ball in my hands right at Tim.

He fired again and again at the incoming energy, but the blasts just bounced off.

The ball struck 2 seconds later, blowing Tim into the outer wall of WOOHP so hard he was knocked out. And I knew he wouldn't wake up from this concussion anytime soon.

Jerry rushed outside a second later.

I had stopped glowing.

"Take him away, boys," I said to the agents who had just arrived.

As they took Scam away, my eyes finally returned to normal.

I turned around.

I didn't see Alex at first, because she had been knocked over from the intensity of my Terra Force attack.

Sam and Clover were staring at Tim Scam's unconsious self.

I saw him, too.

"WHOA! Did I do that?" I asked.

Sam and Clover could only nod.

Then, Alex stood up and brushed dirt off of her spy suit.

My eyes widened.

"Alex? You're alive!!" I exclaimed, rushing up to her.

As she held out her arms to me, I hugged her so hard that we both fell down again.

"Wow, that was cool," Alex said to me.

I just held her for a while, unable to worry anymore.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

2:30 PM, Clover's House

It was later on, at Clover's house, that I realized: Alex meant more to me than anything else I knew.

It felt kinda weird, though.

But, like Alex said just a few minutes ago, that happens a lot.

This wasn't the end, though. More would be coming.

Things that would truly test who I am inside-

-but we'll save those stories for another day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Ok, that's chapter 3! Just so you know, I'm doing this story for my aunt, who recently died. You see, get above a level of the story, and it feels way different than anything in the show, which is something I had to think about when I did the scene where Nick's mom was killed in chapter 1. I had to regard that before finding a way to strike a balance. Ok, you know what to do! Bye!-SuperSaiyanZelda4321 (toonami1wi.rr.com)
