Chapter Two: Addict in Aerobics
Static Shock was doing his nightly rounds. It had been hard to sneak past his
sister's bedroom and he could hear both Sharon and Ororo talking and laughing. It was
hard to imagine her being a meta-human. She seemed normal enough.
He was so caught up in thinking that he accidentally bumped into someone when
flying low. "Sorry", he apologized to a girl he had never seen before. She was very
pretty, and at a closer glance Static saw her picking up a skateboard. "It's okay", she said,
and when she saw him, she was excited, "You're Static, right? The bang baby superhero
who protects Dakota?' Static nodded. "You're my favorite superhero!" by now the girl's
eyes were shining.
She skateboarded while he flew low on his disk, and she said that her parents had
divorced, and this was her first summer in Dakota visiting her father. She was a star
athlete in her school, and one boy had to think twice before messing with her. Annemarie
also planned to get into the Olympics when she was older, and since her parents let her
get up before five, she got to school early and ran laps around the football field. Now
Static was amazed. "There's even more", Annemarie grinned.
She took off ahead, and did some tricks that even Static wouldn't have risked, like
doing a 90 degree angle or flipping onto the roof of a building. Static also felt something
from her, a feeling of warmth. She was only fourteen, one year younger than him, but
something in her gave off an infatuation. It was then Static realized Annemarie had a
crush on him. ************************************************************************
Ororo woke up from her dream. Sharon was still asleep, so she paused to think
about what Professor Xavier had said. Could Virgil be a mutant? Maybe if he was, was
he hiding his ability? She got up, and decided to talk to Virgil. That would be the best
thing. Her footsteps echoed as she paused near his doorknob, not sure what to say. She
chose to get it over with. With an impulsive thrust she opened the door, and gasped.
Virgil was gone. For a minute she considered telling his father, but then chose otherwise.
She had seen Static at the airport, and she had her suspicions.
Dressing as Storm, Ororo quietly left, flying high above the buildings, careful to
avoid the streetlights. Then she saw Static. He was talking to a girl with a purple hood
and cape. (No prizes for guessing who) Carefully she eavesdropped on them.
"An addict in aerobics? And at fourteen?" Static nodded. "I offered to take her home, but
she refused, blushing a little, and left quickly on her skateboard. I wonder why-what the
heck?!" he shouted as a gigantic black dome suddenly appeared, both heroes slamming
into it. Ororo gasped. She had seen this dome before. The dome of Apocalypse.
