"This is crazy!" Jesse protested. She had just read the letter from his
mother and it just didn't make any sense. Their parents never mentioned
anything like this even when she was on freakin' plane heading here to that
death letter, her mother just waved to her from the plane!
Aidan was trying to calm the antagonism girl. "Come on, please calm down, this isn't gonna help!"
"I can't calm down, I mean what would you do if you found out that Julius wasn't really your brother!?!" She asked.
Aidan looked at Julius up and down. "Actually, I'd be relieved."
"Come on Aidan, I know you, tell the truth." Julius implied.
Okay he had to admit no matter how much they fought if he ever found out that Julius wasn't his real brother he would be heartbroken for the next millennium. Hey they say that blood is thicker than water. Maybe that's why they both battle with more energy and enthusiasm on each other than they would ever expend on a stranger.
"Speaking of your brother, where is Chris?" Julius asked.
"If I know him his probably walking down the street confused." Jesse whimpered before falling down on her temporary bed.
Julius looked at the clock. "At 11:30 P.M.!
Little did she know, she was right. Chris was walking down the streets, with dry tears down his cheek, his eyes were red and when he left he didn't bother in changing so he walked down a dark street wearing his blank tank top, and jeans.
'Why do bad things always happen to me?' He asked himself. Things were going great! He was doing good for people, he just got an A in his literature test, Jesse came over and surprised him by saying she was gonna stay for a whole year! But now looked what happened, his mom, or should I say stranger, dropped a major atomic bomb on him. He had no father. He had no mother. His childhood is over and he never had any parents. He's an orphan. An old orphan.
"Hey! I thought I saw you across the street!" Riley Harris grabbed his arm happily, but she frowned when she caught a glimpse of his face.
"How'd you been, Riley." Chris asked.
"I'm fine." She couldn't believe it Chris looked like a mess and here he was asking her how she was doing! "Are you okay?"
Chris just shook his head and look down.
"Anything I can do?" Riley asked worriedly.
Chris looked up and smiled. "Yeah, want to take a field trip with me?" He than extend his hands and she gladly accepted it.
Were at a roof of a public mall as Chris open the entrance to the roof he gets up and helps Riley up as well.
Riley looked around amazed. "How did you get the key to this place again?"
"Julius' mom who worked here once, it was just me, my sister, and Julius." He than got excited when he saw what he wanted. "A 'right it's still here!"
Riley looked on as Chris fiddled with a couple of wires and a whole dozen Christmas lights opened and scattered around the roof.
"Whoa!" Riley said astonished.
Chris sat down on a couch and Riley sat down next to him. "So why were you sad?"
Chris puckered his brows before deciding to tell her. "Um, I was suppose to get this note from my mom like three days ago. But Aidan kept it hidden from me, not that I blame him. It's just the memo really screwed me up."
"I'm sorry." She said sincerely.
Chris just stared into the sky solemnly. "Life is messed up, but you gotta deal with it. The easy victories are meaningless, it's the tough ones that matter. You know? Take it as it."
Riley put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "How can I help."
Chris looked up at him and smiled. "Your doing it right now."
Riley looked puzzled. "How?"
"Just bein' you."
Riley looked at him with wonderment. Nobody ever told her that before, it was always having to live up to an image for her. But right now it's like she could say anything and he would still love her.
"Come here." Riley than waved his index finger to con him over. When he compelled Riley put his face in her hands and stared at deep into his hazel eyes and gave him a chaste kiss. When she pulled away Chris puckered his lips teasingly and she grinned. Riley couldn't resist anymore. She pulled Chris close and kissed him passionately. He returned it with love, when he felt her running her fingers through his blond hair.
Chris stumbles in at around midnight. Julius is at the door and turns on the lights to reveal Jesse and Aidan on the coach.
"We were wondering when you'd get in." Julius admitted.
Chris just walked away. "I had a long night. By the way, I'm fine if anybody's asking."
As Chris walked upstairs to his room Jesse followed him and grabbed his arm.
"Are you sure? You didn't look good when you went out."
Chris exhale noisily. "They never mentioned it Jess, never once. I have no mother, no father, don't go anywhere, okay?"
Jesse nodded before she hugged him. "Why do you smell like lilac?" She asked suspiciously.
Chris just grinned lazily. "It's funny how your night is bad one minute and a hell a good the next."
Chris was climbing up the walls on one of his usual patrols, although he had gotten over the shock of the madness one question still plagued him: Who was his mother? Why did she never come to claim him, or at least visit? Did she ever wonder where he was, or what kind of person he would become? Or even if he was still alive?
It was than that his philosophies cut short because minutes later some nut threw what seemed like an over-sized pumpkin at him!
"What was that?" Getting his balance on the surface of a building he looked up and saw someone on a glider hovering over him. "It's not Johnny Quest or the Blob, I guess Julius would be 0 for 2 on this one."
"Spider-man, it's a nice night to die, would you say so?" The figure enticed maniacally.
Chris just looked at him thoroughly. "Or maybe to go to a Halloween party, let me guess you were runner up for best Leprecon?"
The figure sneered. "Just call me the Green Goblin, or if you want to get more specific, just call me....your executioner." He than launched two missiles from his glider and nearly hit Chris with it, if he had not jumped three feet up in the air and landed on top of the roof.
"Okay, he obviously didn't get much love as a child!" He than did a couple of back flips to avoid a full-on assault. "The name said everything, what kind of parent would name their child the Green Goblin?"
"I'm here to avenge the two Goblins that came before me!" The Green Goblin proclaimed.
Chris swung himself out of danger before landing behind the Green Goblin. "Well it sounds like you have a very colorful family, Green Goblin The Third!" He than shot a string of web at the glider and hog-tied it to a poll.
Green Goblin just grinned. "That's not gonna stop me!"
Chris than grabbed a sharp disk from his hidden holster and threw it at the neutral vessel. "No but this will!" The disk cut six or seven wires in the glider, causing it to burst with spark and ultimately fry up.
"You'll pay for this! I'll be back!" Angrily the Green Goblin threw a silver sphere in the air causing a smoke to cover him. Chris hesitated for a moment, then charges to where the villain was standing, only to discover that the Goblin disappeared.
"I know you'll be back, and I will be waiting!"
The for teenagers, minus Aidan because he's like what, 21? Were all sitting around when Julius got a silly smile on his face.
"I know who he is! I know who that freaky green beast is!" He announced.
Aidan than hit the pause button on the T.V. remote.
"It was General McGregor of Cal State!" Julius revealed as the others just groaned.
Jesse just shook her head. "No way!"
"Yes it was General McGregor taking his revenge on the weapons agency!"
Chris agreed with Jesse, his theory made no sense!
"Well were about to find out!" Aidan than hit play and a episode of Scooby- Doo came on.
Velma on the television screen explained that it was Captain Moore who did it because his lady love was pressuring him into getting married and he was scared that his other wife would find out about their affair.
Julius looked stunned and the others just laughed at him.
"General McGregor? Was it General McGregor!" Jesse asked half giggling half mocking.
Julius crossed his arms and slinked down embarrassingly. "Well I don't know what Y'all are cheering about it was just a game!"
That night Chris rolled over for seemed like the thousandth time. He just couldn't sleep tonight, that 'thing' was still out there and no matter what happens he can't rest until it's caught! What he learned these past weeks is that power and responsibility were a part of his father, and now there're a part of him, regardless of his mother. Family isn't about who's blood you have, it's about who you care for. My family is living right here, in this very house, and in Miami too.
"This is crazy!" Jesse protested. She had just read the letter from his mother and it just didn't make any sense. Their parents never mentioned anything like this even when she was on freakin' plane heading here to that death letter, her mother just waved to her from the plane!

"You'll pay for this! I'll be back!" Angrily the Green Goblin threw a silver sphere in the air causing a smoke to cover him. Chris hesitated for a moment, then charges to where the villain was standing, only to discover that the Goblin disappeared.
"I know you'll be back, and I will be waiting!"
The for teenagers, minus Aidan because he's like what, 21? Were all sitting around when Julius got a silly smile on his face.
"I know who he is! I know who that freaky green beast is!" He announced.
Aidan than hit the pause button on the T.V. remote.
"It was General McGregor of Cal State!" Julius revealed as the others just groaned.
Jesse just shook her head. "No way!"
"Yes it was General McGregor taking his revenge on the weapons agency!"
Chris agreed with Jesse, his theory made no sense!
"Well were about to find out!" Aidan than hit play and a episode of Scooby- Doo came on.
Velma on the television screen explained that it was Captain Moore who did it because his lady love was pressuring him into getting married and he was scared that his other wife would find out about their affair.
Julius looked stunned and the others just laughed at him.
"General McGregor? Was it General McGregor!" Jesse asked half giggling half mocking.
Julius crossed his arms and slinked down embarrassingly. "Well I don't know what Y'all are cheering about it was just a game!"
That night Chris rolled over for seemed like the thousandth time. He just couldn't sleep tonight, that 'thing' was still out there and no matter what happens he can't rest until it's caught! What he learned these past weeks is that power and responsibility were a part of his father, and now there're a part of him, regardless of his mother. Family isn't about who's blood you have, it's about who you care for. My family is living right here, in this very house, and in Miami too.
