Who is she?

Summary: Antimatter is still a hero, but Static and Gear still know nothing about her. Then she may need their help...

Disclaimer: I only own Antimatter & related characters and you should probably read my story "Antimatter" first to get the gist of this one.

Virgil and Ritchie were walking home from school the Monday after their adventure with Antimatter. Ritchie said, "Hey, Virg, I've got some news."

"What?"

"I was sitting near the girls lunch table..."

"Again?"

"Hey, I wanted info about Antimatter! Ever since she showed up, it's all they've been talking about! Anyway, Candy said that Cassandra was gone almost all Friday night."

"What?!?!"

"Yeah! Anyways, her mom wasn't concerned."

"You think Cassandra is Antimatter and her mom is in on it?"

"I guess." Ritchie said. He had this weird passion with finding out more about Antimatter ever since he met her. Virgil thought it was just because he was naturally curious about other bang-baby heroes.

Cassandra got home and plopped on the couch. She was tired! She turned on the TV and overheard Candy talking to her mom.

"Mom, why was Cassandra out so late Friday?"

"How do you expect me to know?"

"You weren't concerned!"

"So? I wasn't concerned because I think Cassandra is old enough to take care of herself and she doesn't usually to stupid stuff. Stop asking."

"But Mom..."

"Candace Guinevere Dio, stop asking me questions this instant!"

Ooh, Cassandra thought. Mom never calls Candy "Candace" unless she's ticked. She never uses "Guinevere" either. Cassandra was called "Cassie" or "Cassandra Gwen" when Mom was mad at her.

Cassandra felt guilty. Mom was yelling at Candy over her.

She tried to tone out the rest of the argument by turning up the TV.

The next day at school, Virgil and Ritchie were watching Cassandra as much as possible during the test that was that day. She didn't see them, and neither did anyone else. Candy seemed to be mad at someone. She kept sulking when she thought no one was looking.

Ritchie finished the test and Cassandra did a few moments later.

When Virgil finished, he stole a glance at Ritchie. Ritchie looked at Cassandra, who was looking at him. They got embarrassed and turned away.

Virgil had put the test on the desk when he heard an explosion. He turned around to see Hotstreak, who had blown a hole in the wall!

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Virgil Hawkins!" Hotstreak said when he saw Virgil's face. He was about to fry him when Cassandra kicked him in the side. He yelled in pain as he fell to the ground.

"You're going to regret that!" He said as he threw a fireball at her. She ducked, but some debris knocked her out. Virgil and Ritchie had long since run out of the room.

Hotstreak was about to throw a fireball at the unconscious Cassandra when Static picked up a glass of water that had been on the teacher's desk and poured it on his hand.

"Can't I even get revenge without you butting in?"

"Well, I guess not!" Static said as he threw tasers at him.

Gear gasped and nudged Static. Static turned and saw Gear pointing towards the door.

There was Antimatter. She was holding Cassandra's unconscious body and helping Candy out the door.

Ah, the plot thickens! Will Static, Gear, and Antimatter be able to take care of Hotstreak? Who is Antimatter, now that we know that she can't be Cassandra or Candy? Please Review and find out!
