Chapter Nine:

..."Warren, what did you do?"

"No! Will no I.. I didn't." Warren said. He scrambled to his feet "Please... "

Warren walked towards Will, but stopped when he saw his boyfriend backing away slowly. Warren's insides twisted in fear as it dawned on him. Will wouldn't believe him, and now he was scared of him, just like everyone else.

"Baby please..." He began, but was cut off by Will shaking his head.

'Don't. Don't even. I can't hear this... more of your lies. God Warren, what the hell happened here?"

"I swear Will, I didn't do it, it was Ange Fletcher. I swear."

"The teacher that pissed you off, stole your powers and killed your friend?" Will said slowly. "Right. God Warren, if you're gonna lie to me, at least make it believable."

Will pulled out his phone and pushed a speed dial button.

"What are you doing?" Warren asked

"Phoning my parents. I'm sorry Warren, but I can't deal with you. I just..." He stopped, blinking back the tears in his eyes. His throat felt dry "I loved you."

"Baby I love you too. Please you have to believe me."

Will spoke into his phone quietly for a moment and then put it back in his pocket.

"I'm sorry Warren Peace. But you need to pay for this." Will said "My parents are coming for you. Just go easy. Don't fight. If you care about me at all, just go."

Warren let a tear fall down his cheek. He took a step towards Will and cupped his cheek. Will flinched and moved away.

"Warren. How could you?"

"I didn't Will. I promise you, It was her."

Suddenly, The commander and Jetstream gently landed in the alleyway. The commander balled his fists, ready to fight.

"Don't bother." Warren said sullenly. His heart was already broken.

The next few days felt like months for Warren Peace. The commander and Jetstream wasted no time in taking him to the superhero prison, hidden in the hills surrounding Maxville. He had been stripped of all of his clothes and possessions, and given an orange jumpsuit, which had the name "Peace" printed on it. Warren was disgusted after the guard informed him that it had belonged to his father. After many hours of interrogation, he was lead to his new cell. Hours later, he heard his name called.

"Peace, you got a visitor." called the guard from down the hall. Warren sat up on his small, gray bed. The next thing he heard was hissing and swearing from the other inmates. The figure they were yelling at emerged at the door of his cell. Will.

"Oh god Will!" Warren said and jumped up from his bed.

"Save it," Will said quickly "I'm here to deliver your sentence. The judge thought it would hurt you this way, Guess super villain court is different to regular court."

Warren sat down and looked away "How long?"

"Sixty years Warren." Will said and began to walk away. He stopped, just before he went out of sight. "Warren?"

He looked up "Yeah?"

"Sorry."

-

AN: Yeah, real short, but to me that makes the loss more complete. Warren and Will both understand they are screwed. Also, it may seem like Will is being cavalier or whatever, but for him that's his way to deal with it. He is shutting down, rather than dealing with it. And Warren... he is in shock. The whole, Ethan died in front of him and he feels responsible.
