Chapter 2: Her

The days at HIVE were all the same to Python. There were classes, lunch, and homework. It was the same thing as high school, except there was weapon training and classes for such things as WMD buying and usage 101. Even though they were out of place, he was till doing okay in them, most noticeably assassination And then there were the students. He seemed out of place in this world of up and coming villains with powers such as ice breath and flight. Even though he had Surge as a friend and valuable ally in the academy, he still wasn't sure about one thing. Every time Blood walked into the room and announced something, the students just started to rally and chant his name like mindless zombies. Except for him, which was the strangest part.

"Anyways," Python began as he and Surge were taking a break in their dorms," this place is just like my old school, minus the drug dealers and gang members." The student let out a laugh as he took a sip of his beer," My friend, you have been here for a month and you still haven't seen this school for what it is." "You know. I'd like to know what it really is." Python replied as he leaned against the room's wall, inhaling from his cigarette and letting out a puff into the air. "It's all about girls my friend," Surge stated," and this place doesn't disappoint." "Ahh, yeah." Python said as he dropped his used cigarette in an ashbin and sat down at a chair near the desk. "You remember nay time with them before you got in jail?" Surge asked. "You bet," Python said," I got some many of them, I nearly drowned, if you know what I mean." Surge laughed at the remark as he reached for another beer. "I know man. Getting some of that." "But still, I haven't found the perfect girl yet." Python said. "Dude, remember my saying," There's no such thing as the perfect girl. Its all about getting as many as you can, getting some, and then moving on to the next one." "Yeah, that's nice," Python replied," what's the other one? Getting drunk makes you look more attractive and helps you get laid more." 'Its better then that s you always say." Surge then let out a laugh, dropping his beer to the ground, the liquid spilling out of the open top.

"Nice one, genius." Python said, letting out a smirk. "Whatever," Surge said," Anyways, on to the good stuff. There's a dance coming up here. SO, I was wondering if you 'd like to go." "Dude, I don't turn that way." Python replied. "No, dumbass," Surge said, "you know. We go, drink, dance, get some girls." "Whatever," Python said, "by the way. I need to ask you something. Why is it that everyone does that thing when Blood's around?" "What do you mean?" Surge asked. "When he does his speeches," he stated you all act like zombies. And I thought you hated him." "I do," Surge said," I hate his guts. So any ways, we better get you something better then what you have on." "Hey, this is the only thing I have." Python said, looking at the attire he had worn since his first entry into they academy. "No wonder you nearly killed that guy in the laundry room," Surge said," lets head out to the city. I know a place that can help you out." As they left the room, Surge said under his breath," It's going to take a miracle to get this guy some good taste in clothes." "I like this shirt." Python said as he heard that.

Within a day, the Sady Hawkins dance had hit the school. The training area was converted into a dance hall with refreshment tables. The students were wearing their costumes, but some were wearing more formal wear. Python was wearing a light blue shirt with a red tie. Surge was wearing his regular clothing, but had a green button down shirt with no tie on him. "Did you have to chose that suit?" Surge asked as he took a drink of punch, " the 80s are dead." "What does that mean?" Python asked. "Nothing," he replied," I'm just so bored." "I know," Python said," I tell ya. I just wish..." his voice was then cut of as he saw someone walk into the dance hall and started to walk near him and Surge. She was wearing a black skirt with purple lines along it and black shoes. She had pale skin and purple hair, which was tied up and split on either side. And as she passed, he caught a glimpse of her eyes. They were purple, but something about them just added to the beauty that came off of her and was felt by him.

As she walked by, he asked Surge," Who was that?" "That was Jinx," he replied," don't try hooking up with her." "Bad luck." Python remarked. "You could say that," he replied," she will rip out your heart and throw it on the ground." "Just watch me and take notes." Python said as he walked over to her. As soon as he reached her, he said," I'm sorry, but you are just too pretty to not know me." "If I had a dollar for every guy that said that, I'd be rich." She replied. '"Yeah. I can you're attitude really has gotten you a lot of guys." She stopped and turned to him and said, "You don't know me." "I know that you have an anger problem." "Unless you want to know why they really call me Jinx," she said as she charged up a ball of purple energy in her hand," I suggest you get out of my way." "You want to dance?" he asked. She looked at him with annoyance, and then shoved him aside as she walked away.

As he walked back to Surge, he remarked," The only notes I got were 'You Suck.' " "Shut up." Python replied. He then saw Jinx dancing with another guy. "Isn't that Stone?" he asked. "Yep," Surge said," he's been here three days and all ready he's respected more then anyone here." Just then, the woman who had been at the desk when Python first came to the school came out of no where and said," Brother Blood wants to see you both." 'Just great. I get denied by a girl and then Blood wants to see me.' Python thought as he and Surge followed her out of the hall.

Blood was looking out of his office window, down at the students that went about the dance. "Like ants," he said to himself," nothing without a leader. I am that leader. The one to lead all of them into a new order." Just then, Python and Surge walked in. "Good you're here." He said as he seated himself on his chair. "What is it?" Python asked as he approached the desk. "If it's about that, I can explain." Surge said, worry on his voice. "Shut up," Blood shout back," it's not about anything. I need to see how loyal you are." "What do you got?" Python asked. "I have some problems with a drop out named Johnny Rancid." He said as he slid a photo across the desk to Python. He picked it up to see a muscular, Grey skinned guy wearing black clothing and a bicker helmet. "He was very good at mechanics," Blood said," but lacked guidance."

"So?" Python asked. "So," Blood began," he stole some data for a project I am working on. I don't care what you do to him to get, just get me the disk back." "I'll be obliged to." Python said as he walked to the door. "Surge, go with him." "Why?" Surge asked. "He may need backup. Someone has to help him." Blood said as his eyes flashed red. Surge's eyes flashed as he replied, "Whatever." As the two headed out, Blood called out," Would you be needing a idea of where he is?" "Don't worry," Python replied," I got a good idea. Besides, I need something to help me cool off."
