Ghost
Part three
Thunder rolled across the empty graveyard, the rain fell hard and fast making anyone soaked to the bone in a matter of seconds. The empty graveyard of stone and memories, abandoned apart from one figure. The water ran down him and did not soak his costume as it was rubber and he was known as Rubberband Man.
Thoughts ran through his mind as he stared at the gravestone in front of him, his face showing disbelief. He wore a ring on a chain around his neck so it would not get damaged when he was fighting.
Hello Virgil, Sharon and Richie says Hi. It is still hard to believe, it is hard to accept that you are gone from this world. I thought you were joking around, I thought that you would stop playing dead and jump up with that stupid grin and say 'April fool' but no, you are gone!
Adam stopped and looked around the graveyard which was empty and the rain was thick, so thick that it looked like fog.
I guess everything is fine now in Heaven, I guess you are happy being with your mother and without the fear of water shortening you out. Virgil about Sharon... she is not coping at all. I think it is the shock of loosing you on top of getting over the loss of your mother, she will not leave the house and she vists your room everyday, which is the way you left it. I need your help bro, she is not herself! She hardly cooks and eats, it takes Richie, Mr Hawkins and myself to make her eat and to get her to do her house chores and college work.
Looking up and shifted on his feet a little, he remembers how it took three of them to make sure that Sharon lived. Even then at her college everyone was keeping a eye on her and made sure she was eating and trying to get some work done.
Do not worry about Sharon though Virgil, we will deal with her hopefully. Richie came up to me shortly after your death and asked if I wanted to continue to be Rubberband Man and go after Ebon, after what he did I answered immediately and now i work along side him. I will never replace you but it is best that Richie has some help being the hero of Dakota, Shebang is never around since your death so it is only the two of us.
It came as no shock to me that Static was you, I mean the way you battled against the metahumans is the same way you and Richie use to play video games. So I guess when the truth was revealed about you, in the back of my mind I knew that you were Static but I never really understood it till Richie took your mask off.
Looking at his watch, Adam sees that the time was quickly going by and he had to go and get changed before taking Sharon out for a meal.
I better go, I am taking Sharon out for a meal to try and cheer her up. I hope that she will recover soon, otherwise I do not know how Mr Hawkins is going to cope loosing both of his kids. Well, I will visit you again soon bro!
Adam touched the gravestone in a sign of respect and headed for the entrance to the graveyard. The rain had now slowed down a little and the wind had picked up, the storm was done. Fishing some keys out of his sealed pocket (Richie had re-designed his costume so that it had special pockets and was more suitable for his powers) he unlocked his car and got in.
Before he could press the on button for the stereo, it blasted into life.
Don't loose your way with each passing day
Adam smiled knowing that Virgil was taking care of his request and was watching over all of them.
meanwhile across town
A doorknob twisted and the door opened to a abandoned colourful room, a stereo just behind the door on a shelf and below that a computer covered in a plastic sheet to stop dust. The room was clean and dust-free, the bed was made and looked inviting. On the bed was a costume folded up so that the logo was easy to see, next to the costume was a shock vox and a folded up piece of metal that when charged was a board for Static to ride. The figure stood in the doorway of the room, old tears appeared on the face as she walked across the room, sat down on the edge of the bed and cried into her hands. The stereo suddenly burst into life...
Don't loose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, Don't throw it away
