A/N: Alright, here it is the 10th chapter of my story, this chapter is gonna up the rating to PG seeing as how there's gonna be a bit of blood. This entire chapter is going to have a fight between Adam and Ivan. Some of the elements of the fight might seem similar to the episode where RBM first becomes a superhero, so don't yell at me please. I really hope you enjoy this.
As I helped Raven to the couch I heard the sound of a scuffle, there was a fight going on outside and it was between Rubberband Man and Ebon. Quickly, still ignoring the pain in my ribs, I ran outside. I stood in the doorway watching the two throw-down. I must say it was an…interesting experience. They were both wrapped around each other like a couple of snakes and they were grappling. "Why did you come here, Ivan?" Rubberband Man didn't sound too happy, but can you really blame him? Ebon on the other hand seemed to be absolutely giddy, or at least I think so. It's kinda hard to tell when someone doesn't have a face. "You should've stuck with me, Adam." Ebon was obviously trying to change the subject and this wasn't making RBM any happier. "Darnit, Ivan I asked you why you came here!" Adam punched Ebon in the cheek sending him flying to the ground whereupon Adam leapt on him and began to pummel him, yelling, "Why did you come here!" Ebon pushed the pummeling purple person off, (Great alliteration, huh?) and wiped the blood off of his face, which was yet again surprising to me. I mean, I thought he was just a giant shadow. "Listen, Brother, you should have stuck with me!" My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. Brothers! They were brothers? Of course, it explains it. I mean the way they fought was so brotheresque and judging by the way Adam hit Ebon, Adam is the youngest. "You're right, Ivan, I should've stayed with you." His face drooped and his fists relaxed. I gasped aloud and I could hear Raven gasp too. Ebon walked over to him and clapped both hands on RBM's shoulders. "I'm glad you made the right decision, brother." Adam's eyes burned with an angry fire and he pushed Ebon's arms off of his shoulders, "Yea, I should've stayed. So I could try and change you, keep you from doing this. I may be younger than you, bro, but I'm definitely smarter." Ebon's white slits squinted angrily and he yelled, charging at Adam.
Adam hit him in the chest and pushed him back, "I'm also stronger." Ebon stood weakly, but only fell again. "Fine, Adam, but I'll be back." He then disappeared into his trademark vortex. I walked over to Adam and patted him on the shoulder, "You gonna be ok RBM?" He sighed, and turned to me smiling, "Yea, I think I am." I smiled back and then my lips thinned, "I'm just sorry you had to fight him." He shrugged and a short laugh escaped his lips, "Eh, what else could I do?" I smiled, and lauged too "Yea, if I were in your shoes I probably would've done the same thing." "You got a brother?" I looked at him and tears welled up in my eyes, "I….don't wanna talk about it." I then walked back to the house and rubbed a hidden scar, a scar that had affected me both physically and emotionally.
A/N: Alright, good chapter I think. Uh-oh, looks like Robert's got a secret and I'm sure all of already know what it is, but I can't reveal that until next chapter. Thanks for reading!
