Ok, finally got around to making another chappi!
Chaney -- I am not sure what you are talking about when you say livejournal. I would love to join but I don't know how!
Anyways--- Here's the story!
Once Gear got to the hospital, he went up to the desk and asked how Static was doing.
While the nurse at the desk was typing up the information Gear looked around the room. He was receiving some very strange looks from people watching. He didn't care. He looked back at the nurse. She said "He is doing just fine. In fact, all they had to do was stitch it up and bandage it. He will be in a condition where he can leave in a hour, just so the doctors can make sure everything is okay."
"Great! Thanks" Gear said relieved.
Mean while Daisy was at home in her bedroom thinking over the days events. She never knew that she could feel so many things in a single twelve hours. She felt scared, when she was first kidnapped, horrified, when she discovered Ebon was her captor, relived, when she thought the battle was over, sad, when Static was shot, and happy, when she saw her parents.
But what disturbed her most is that when she looked at Static and Gear closely, it seems that she has seen them before. She racked her brain. Who could they be? She couldn't think straight.
She decided to turn on the television to clear her mind but what ever channel she switched to seemed to be doing the Static being shot story. Remembering the pain on his face made her tears start anew. This was all her fault, and she knew it, no matter what Gear said.
She turned off the television. She needed to talk to someone. Someone she could trust. "Virgil!" she picked up the phone and called the Hawkins number.
Robert Hawkins was worried. He was at work when he herd the news. He rushed home to see if it was true.
"Virgil! Virgil! Are you here!" No answer. He checked all the rooms in the house.
Sharon came out of her room. "Daddy? What are you so worried about?" Robert quickly explained that Static was shot and he wanted to know if Virgil was anywhere around that area. "Really? Is Static okay? I'll go check the news." Sharon was very keen to Static because he had saved her many times.
Robert was very, very worried. After finding the Virgil was in fact not there, he sat himself down next to Sharon. "What's the news?" he asked hoping he didn't sound as worried as he felt. He didn't want to give away that Virgil is Static.
"They said that he was lucky. It just grazed his arm, and he should be fine." Robert let out a sigh of relief. "Why are you so worried Daddy? Static's a superhero. He knew this stuff would happen when he took up the responsibility." She said trying to comfort him.
"He didn't know lots of stuff in the beginning," He said. Then before she could question how he knew that, the phone rang. It was Daisy.
"Hawkins residence, Robert speaking" he recited.
"Err, hi. Is Virgil there?" she asked.
"Um, He's not here right now, may I take a message?"
" No, its okay. Do you know when he will be home?"
"Err, actually, no I don't."
"Okay, can you have him call me when he dose?"
"Will do. Are you okay? I herd you were there when Static was shot,"
"Ya." She sighed
"Is he alright?
"I think so. Well I need to go. Bye"
"Bye"
He hung up and turned to Sharon. "I have to go back to work. And can you call me when Virgil gets home?" Robert asked.
"Sure." She simply said so he left after hugging her.
A hour later
After patrolling for a hour to clear his thoughts Gear went back to the hospital to see if Static could get out. A group of reporters had gathered out side the hospital, also there for the same reason as Gear. He was able to some how get past them and inside even though there were packed around the doors like sardines.
When he got in he saw Static coming out of a door looking up at the doctor with a look of awe on his face. "You mean you really saw her brain?"
The doctor laughed. "It was not a pleasant sight!" Static laughed also. Then he spotted Gear.
"Hey bro," then he saw that press. "Uh oh, are they here for-" he left the sentence unfinished.
"Hey how often dose there top superhero get seriously hurt?" Gear said smiling
"That was seriously hurt?" Static said looking down at his arm.
He shrugged. "They must have needed a story." Gear laughed. He was glad to have his partner back.
"Lets get out of here. My pops is probably worried sick!" Virgil said getting on his board. "Err, could we take the window, if you know what I mean?" Static asked the doctor.
"Only this one time" he said looking out the doors at the crowd.
"Thanks," Gear said and he flew out the window followed by Static.
Virgil walked in the house through the door. Sharon was in the kitchen cleaning, when she was supposed to be at her class. "What makes you stay home today? I already get enough of you normally,"
Sharon glared at him and said "For your information Static was shot and I wanted to see if he would be okay. Plus today's class was optional."
"What ever you say," Virgil replied
She just pretended to not hear him and said "Dad wanted you to call him."
"Uh oh" Virgil thought. He went over to the phone and dialed his fathers number slowly.
"Community center" he herd his fathers voice say.
"Um, hi dad" Replied Virgil.
"Virgil! Are you okay? I have been hearing all sorts of rumors!" Robert said sounding stressed out.
" Ya, I'm fine, don't worry," Virgil said quickly looking over in to the kitchen to make sure Sharon wasn't listening. "We'll talk when you get home, K?"
"Okay, by the way Daisy wants you to call her."
"K, bye" Virgil said hanging up. Then he called Daisy. She was trying to explain everything that happened but she was failing miserably.
"Okay, okay, how about you explain this over a hamburger and soda"
"Sure." She sighed "Burger Fool in ten minutes?"
"Fine with me. See ya there!" and he hung up.
Burger Fool is always really busy at dinner and that is when Daisy and Virgil happened to be there. They were sitting at their table eating and watching people come in and go out of the bustling restraint.
Then Daisy started to talk about the days events again. Virgil pretended to be interested.
Then Daisy said " All of this because of the big bang. I mean think about it, Static and Gear were normal people when they were hit with the gas. They then started being superheroes, just like that! Well Static was the first but then Gear joined. It really makes you think of the possibilities. I thought being a superhero would be fun until today. Static and Gear go out and risk their lives every day just to save us. Also I feel pressured by my chores from home. Imagine the whole city depending on you?"
Daisy looked at Virgil to see what he would say about her little speech. What shocked Virgil most is most of what she said was right, he was just a your normal unpopular kid and then BOOM! Next thing he knew he was a superhero. And sometimes he could almost feel the whole weight of the city on his shoulders crushing him.
"Um, ya," He smiled. "I'm just glad your okay." Just then there was a huge crashing noise.
Virgil looked out the window to see Armadillo and Ferret making a nuisance of them self. He looked over at Daisy and made a pained face and mumbled something about not feeling good and he ran to the bathroom so he could change to Static.
Daisy sat there for a second stun by Virgil's erupt exit. Then she stood up. Something was not right. She knew where she had seen Static's face.
"Virgil…"
