Chapter 51: Doomsday

It's a good thing my little paranoid fiasco was over, what with Judge and Rainbow escaping, Lea also long gone and a Math test coming up that I was so not ready for, I'd probably have jumped out of the Hallblock school building by now. And to make matters worse I still haven't decided whether I want to help the others capture them again, or walk away from all this while I have the chance. I still needed to know what a few more in the group would say, but really after asking a few I'm still just as confused as I was to begin with. They say it's my choice, but what if I can't choose? As I waited in the hallway for my next lesson to start, I noticed Rachael approach me. ''How you feeling?'' She asked.

''Well I'm no longer scared of my shadow every time I move, so I guess that's a start.''

''Should have pretended you were sick, get an excuse off from your test.'' She teased.

''I'm thinking I should have, I'm so not ready for this. And Jenna's practically pilling on the pressure for me to do better than my grades last year, it's not like I can do any worse.''

''She's just looking out for you.''

''I know but...'' I cut myself off remembering that my sister and I weren't alone last time we properly spoke. ''She has a boyfriend now.''

Rachael's eyebrows shot up instantly. ''Really? Is it this guy she's been going out with? The one you said…''

''The one I said wouldn't last…yeah.'' I muttered with a tone filled of defeat.

''Aw.'' She cooed.

''There's no aw about it! I don't know anything about this guy, and as a younger brother I think I should know more about someone dating my sister. I mean has he committed felony before? Has he got involved with the police before? Did he have an ex and their relationship ended badly? If he tries to force my sister into anything…''

I would have gone on if Rachael didn't interrupt me by kissing me on the lips; I don't know what it was but this kiss seemed a lot more…intense than our ones before. It would have gone on if she didn't back away like nothing happened. ''Have you ever considered that he may just be some nice guy who likes Jenna?''

Stuttering at first still trying to get around that kiss she gave me. ''O-Of course I have, but it's hard. Jenna only became my single legal guardian just before I started out as Omega Kid, before that we'd have some family members look after us. I'm just not use to sharing her with someone else.''

''Maybe if you just took the chance to get to know him better, know that he means well, it'll turn out fine,'' She encouraged me. It made me feel a little better, but I'm still adjusting to the idea of it. She ruffled my hair as always, but even that was off, her grip was much tighter than before and soon her fingers moved down the back of my neck and even making their way into my shirt. Chills danced up my body as I tried to remain in control. ''You're so tense!'' She said seductively…seductively? Okay I'm loosing my mind.

''Y-Yeah, I guess it's just normal to act tense before a test, speaking of which where is everybody?'' I asked trying to keep the attention off me, come to think of it; it's strange that the hallways are completely empty now. I could have sworn that there were others around waiting for the test as well? But before anything else can happen, Rachael forces me against the wall and stares at me intently.

''We're all alone, just how it should be!'' She coos lightly before kissing me along my neck, getting lower and lower.

''What the hell?'' I gasped out. ''Rachael what's gotten into you?''

''Oh nothing's gotten into me…well, not yet anyway!'' She winks and before I know it; her hands slithered around to my jeans and she yanks them down to my ankles along with my boxers. I don't know what to do, stop her or let her continue? What am I saying? This shouldn't be happening, especially in the frickin school hallway! I tried to push her off, but it was now impossible with what she was about to do as she leaned in closer to…

''Thomas?''

''AHHH!'' I yelp as I feel someone touch my shoulder making me jump back against the wall, my head hitting it hard.

''Whoa, are you okay?'' The voice asked again. After a few seconds taking deep breaths, I found myself still standing in the hallway waiting outside for the test to start. Other students also outside waiting now looking at me like I was a loon, and no Rachael in sight. Oh crap, it wasn't real! Must be an after shock of that paranoia chemical or something. Also in the crowd, the one that brought me out of my little fantasy was Stella, still waiting for my reply.

''Huh? Oh yeah, smooth!'' I said shakily.

''What happened with you? You looked like you were sleeping on your feet and then you freaked out.''

''There was a good reason for that!'' I mumbled under my breath so she can't hear, but she did anyway. ''It's fine, I'm okay now.''

''What were you thinking about? Was it a nightmare?'' She asked now showing some concern.

''It wasn't a nightmare exactly…'' I said not really sure how to describe it. But I guess from the order of the words in my sentence and the way they were spoken; Stella had a pretty good idea what I was thinking about and couldn't hide the grin on her face. ''Don't say a word!''

''You were thinking about Rachael weren't you!'' She smirked.

''Yes.'' I grunted.

''What were you two doing?''

''I wasn't doing anything, she came onto me!'' I defended myself, although it didn't really help the situation or the way I was feeling. ''Ah, I don't know what to do! This sex thing is driving me crazy! I mean what am I supposed to do? Are we supposed to do it? Lots of other kids my age have done it at 16 and a half! But every time we get close we freak out or…what am I supposed to do Stella?''

She was taken back slightly with me asking for her help. ''Well…um…I think…I think you two are making a really mature decision in waiting. Your right treating this as a big deal, it's supposed to be…it is a big deal! The first time should be special, and you should wait for it. See special sex can be down to mood, that's very important. A lack of desire can be down to a reduction in one of four brain chemicals; dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA and serotonin. Dopamine can enhance mood and confidence; I would suggest certain herbs and spices for that. Acetylcholine helps improve alertness and focus, so try basil or peppermint. GABA is a natural antidepressant which can be found in alcohol, and thankfully you don't drink much so…''

''You do realise I can't even pronounce half those words!'' I stopped her before she went off on one of her little science rants. Ever since the first chemical incident with Alex, she's been more into this kind of stuff. ''What if we don't want to wait, but do want to wait? If you understand what I'm saying.''

''Thomas, I do understand. Megan and I went through the same thing, it happens to all couples. So all couples are different, but maybe you two could…do half-way stuff.''

''What the flip is half-way stuff?''

''You know, instead of being fully naked you two could be half-naked and do stuff. Actually do it without going the whole way. Cuddling up can also help; helps to release the bonding hormone oxytocin, which has been found to dramatically boost longevity and are less vulnerable to chronic disease and depression.''

''Once again, I don't speak long-wordanese!'' I said. She did make a valid point, but then something else came to mind. ''But what if she doesn't want to? What if she's not even ready for half-way stuff?'' I sighed. I'm going insane thinking about all this, I never thought it would be this hard thinking about losing my virginity. But it's more than that, it's also Rachael's, I don't want to rush her into anything. Realising that Stella was still looking at me, I noticed her smirk didn't leave. ''What?''

''Rachael and I have been best friends for years, so we talk a lot. And although it's private I think you deserve to know this, she's been having the same crisis as you.''

''Really?''

''Yeah, only she goes into a lot more detail with her imagination of what you two do!'' She teased.

She could be over exaggerating, either way just the thought of her thoughts about us made my knees buckle and I almost collapsed to the floor. Oh boy, I hope I'm not blushing as much as I think I am. Halfway stuff huh? Yeah I guess we could…but what if we don't stop halfway and it leads onto full-way? That paranoia chemical's making me a nervous wreck right now, I can't imagine how I would have reacted if I was still 100% paranoid. A moment's silence, I finally calmed down. ''Thanks for the talk.''

''No worries, anyway I had something else I wanted to talk with you about,'' She began. Another subject was just what I needed at the moment. ''Megan and Alex told me about your plans, are you really quitting?''

Should have seen that coming. ''I'm considering it, what do you think?''

''What? Like what you should do?'' She asked and I nodded. ''Well in the end only you can make that call.''

''See, everyone is telling me that, but I can't decide.''

''You will, this is a big thing, just give it some more time and thought. We can handle ourselves for a few days until you decide,'' I'm thankful I've got friends that don't add to the pressure that's already on my shoulders. It almost makes me feel guilty I'm holding out on my decision like this, but better that than rushing one and regretting it later. ''What were you talking about anyway?'' She asked out of the blue.

''Sorry what?''

''Well, Megan said you talked in school, and the only time you and Megan could have talked in school would have been you in your counsellor office cause you didn't have classes together last week. What was she doing in there?''

''You don't know either?'' I questioned.

''Know what?'' She panicked a bit now. She really didn't know about the torment Megan was going through? I thought she would have told her about it, it's not like Megan to keep a secret from Stella of all people.

''WILL YOU TAKE THAT CRAP DOWN!'' Our moment was stopped by the booming voice of Kevin, who at the moment was taking down and ripping up another 'R.I.P Omega Kid banner', those things seriously creeped me out. Once he was done with that, he noticed the two and walked towards us. ''Can you believe these people? Falling for propaganda like that…hey babe!'' He winked at Stella.

She just rolled her eyes in amusement and turned to me. ''I'm going to do some last minute revision on this Math test, good luck.'' Before I could even wish her luck she was walking off.

''You know, it's a shame she's not into guys anymore,'' Kevin said. ''Not that there's anything wrong with her liking girls you know. I'm a big supporter; I have friends that are gay. Anyway, if you're not too busy, you want to help me take down more of these banners, they're everywhere.''

''As much as I would love to rid the morbidity from the place, I also have to attend the Maths test so…''

''Oh hey, no worries man. Just trying to keep the spirits of the believers alive. Omega Kid will be making his big return any day now, I can see it now…'' As he went on with how his idol will rise from the grave, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He's probably being laughed at for keeping all this up, trying to persuade the world Omega Kid will be coming back, and I still haven't decided yet. ''I'd love to see the look on people's faces when that happens.'' He finished.

''Me too,'' I agreed not really having heard anything he said. ''I really need to get going now.'' I was about to walk to my class until he forcefully grabbed my arm and forced me to look at him.

''On a serious note though, you believe he's still alive right?'' He asked with a level of sincerity and hope that I've never seen him display before. I've always known him as cocky and smug, but here he almost seemed naïve and pleading, like he wanted me to have the answer to his question…and ironically I did, but couldn't tell him.

Thinking of what I could tell him, I just went with the first thing that came to mind. ''I'm not sure. But if he is, I'm certain he's plotting his big return soon as well.''

''Not plotting, calculating! Plotting sounds like a villain thing,'' He said and that actually made me laugh, until I could practically see the waters in his eye. ''I mean after all, I'm Kevin Roberts, Omega Kid's number one fan…without him what am I?'' His voice was broken at that point as he turned and walked away.

Now it made sense; it wasn't about Omega Kid rising up, it was about him staying on top. The whole foundation of his empire is centred on me, not him. It's almost a certainty that no one's heard the name Kevin Roberts before Omega Kid, without that he'd be most likely forgotten or washed away. I actually felt sorry for him.

''So come on spill you two, how did the test go?'' Alex asked Stella and I, as we the core four left school. Rachael called up to say she was busy today so couldn't make it. And Megan never had a lesson today so was at home practicing her singing to get ready to send to music producers or managers or whoever does hire people. It made me feel giddy that I could be a friend of a future music star, no scratch that, I am a friend of a future music star.

''It was relatively easy,'' Stella answered him before turning to me. ''How about you?''

''Guess it was okay, like I said before I can't do any worse then last year. I just kind of got distracted from my talk with Kevin.''

''Oh boy,'' Alex laughed out. ''What did he ask you this time? Let me guess, how many times has Omega Kid come back to life? Oh, how about how many zombies has Omega Kid decapitated?''

''Actually it was more to do with him,'' I told them. ''Okay I've got Kevin trivia questions for you guys.''

''Should we be scared?'' Steph asked sarcastically.

I ignored him and asked. ''What's the first thing you think of when Kevin is mentioned?''

Alex was the first to answer. ''Annoying, good to laugh at, bad B.O…''

''Seriously!'' I told him.

''Omega Kid's biggest fan.'' Stella answered.

''Right, what's the second thing that comes to mind?'' I asked.

''Runs the Omega Kid fan club.'' Steph said this time.

''Okay, third thing?''

''Loves Omega Kid!'' Alex got out.

''And what do all those things have in common? Me!'' They were starting to get the picture as I went on. ''He hates the fact that he's nothing without Omega Kid. And if I stay gone he's going to drift away and…I'm afraid of the depression he may go through.''

''So we can't convince you to be Omega Kid, but Kevin can?'' Alex looked at me bewildered.

''I still don't know that. I'm still thinking it over, it's just so hard!''

''Well remember you take all the time you need.'' Stella told me.

''I know, the Kevin thing's just reminded me of how much I've made a change. I'm just one kid, how could have I done all this? Besides being extremely lucky.''

Alex chuckled slightly. ''You're probably the first guy I've ever met that considers getting stabbed in the stomach lucky.''

''You know what I mean.'' I said.

''Okay, you want to know how you've done all this?'' He started. ''The difference between here and America is that you were one of the only ones that really made a name for themselves. Whereas in the States, they've got all different superheroes becoming hero of the week. So here all the attention and media is focused on you. That's why you've made a change, because no one else was brave enough to do it.''

''Makes sense.'' I summed up.

''Oh yeah,'' Stella called out. ''You said something about Megan earlier, what do you know that I don't?''

''Wait what?'' The brothers questioned, new to this situation.

''Maybe, you should talk to Megan about it,'' I suggested. ''It's something that you two should really…''

''Thomas, is she alright?'' She asked seriously now. Oh boy, I didn't want to be the one to tell her this; Megan's going to be furious. But then again, this is something she should have told Stella about. Well I guess I've got no choice now…however, something else caught my eye before I could say anything. ''Thomas, tell me now!'' Stella called out.

''Hold on!''

''No dammit!''

''Look!'' I pointed towards a store that was selling different TV sets, and the channel it happened to be on at the moment was BBC News, and three guesses who was on the main front.

''Amanda Linea reporting live from North London as escaped convicts Judge, Rainbow as well as criminal Volos are on the loose causing havoc for the police forces trying to detain them. They are considered armed and extremely dangerous, anyone who is on the streets we beg to please stay inside at all times until this matter is sorted. At the moment, there are no casualties…''

I wanted to get off the hook from this Megan thing, but this was not the way I had in mind. Just one look between us told the story as we all sprinted towards the carnage that was going on. I don't even know why I was going, I've got my costume in my rucksack but should I use it? Should I throw away my chance to walk away from this? Either way I need to help out costume or no costume.

It took about twenty minutes running before we caught our first signs that the three villains were close; burnt cars, broken shop windows and people tending to the wounded. We had already called the other members of the League and they were on their way, but it could take them God knows how long. So it was just we four at the moment, well maybe not all four.

''What are you going to do?'' Alex asked me, knowing that this would be it for my Omega Kid epiphany.

''You three will take them; I'll help out whoever I can. If you need help just call!'' They were hesitant at first; but that all changed as an explosion from the other side of the street made us jump. They had explosives? We ran forward to take a look at the damage they were causing now, and almost instantly once we turned the corner we almost died.

''Look out!'' Steph called as he pulled back Alex just as a lamppost crashed to the ground right where Alex would have been if not for his little brother's intervention.

''Jesus Christ!'' He screamed. ''Thanks bro!''

''Don't mention it!''

With that out of the way, I finally had a chance to see what was going on. At the moment, the three villains were standing on top of a news truck parked near one of the beams under a train bridge. People running about trying to get away, while police cars couldn't even get close without any of the bad guys throwing some bottle at the car and lighting it up…not caring whether the cops were in the car or not. But there was another fear; if they used one of those explosives to close, it could hit the beams of the bridge and that would be the ultimate disaster. I just hope the trains have been called off because of this attack.

''What now?'' Viper asked me. The three had already changed into their costumes while I watched on. It appeared as if Rainbow was the only one with those explosive bottles; Volos just kept taunting whoever was close enough, and Judge appeared to be on the look out for someone, again three guesses whom.

''Stick with the plan; you stop them while I get the wounded away. And whatever you do, keep them away from the bridge!''

''Like we weren't going too!'' Ultra Kid muttered sarcastically as the three ran across the street to try and sneak their way to the truck. It was almost unbearable watching them make their way through the debris. All it took was one hit of those bottles and that would be it, there was enough in it to light up a car, I don't want to know what it'll do if it hits a person.

''There they are!'' Crap, Judge must have spotted them. The three scattered around the place while Rainbow took a step back and threw one of his bottles forward. Thankfully it wasn't close to anyone, but the force was so strong I could feel it from here. Then something actually went our way; as Rainbow tried to grab another bottle from behind, Volos jumped off the truck and charged forward towards Ultra Kid who was the closest to him. With one of their own out there, they would dare…

''Throw it!'' Judge barked at Rainbow. He wouldn't? It looked like Rainbow was hesitant at first with Volos still out there. So instead, Judge quickly grabbed the bottle off him and threw it towards the two of them. I could only watch as the bottle flew in the air…BOOM! Before being intercepted by Viper's bow staff that she launched like a professional javelin thrower. Now that's when we knew those explosions had strength, because Viper's staff touched ground at half it's original size and charred beyond repair.

With that out of the way; Ultra Kid and Volos continued with their brawl, the close proximity of the burned cars an advantage as the big bull of a man couldn't get a good run and it was easier for Ultra to move around and get as many quick counters and strikes as he could. Judge turned around and went to grab another bottle, but Super Kid had made it to the truck and stood between the villains and the explosives taking on both him and the clown at the same time.

He was being pushed back, with blows from Judge's hammer and trying to keep clear of Rainbow's razors he wasn't doing well. But aid came once Viper was with him, and now it was two on two on the truck. With all of them now distracted, I could make my move and help out all those that were too weak to make a run for it.

I helped out whoever I could find; some had a few scratches, others were so torn up they couldn't even see me, while others didn't even get a chance. After pulling only two people away from the mayhem I was covered in blood, this mixed with the smell of the burning and I felt so nauseous. But I had to keep going, at least until the others arrived to help out. For the moment, it seemed as if the three were doing fine at the moment without my help. Ultra was trapping Volos. While Viper and Super were keeping Judge and Rainbow away from those explosives.

Already I was growing weak from carrying so many limp bodies to safety; thankfully though it was getting harder and harder to find more, meaning there can't be that many left. Eventually I came across some guy with a seriously bloody leg trapped under some rubble. He called out to me for help; I had to cover his mouth so not to draw the attention of the villains over here, I looked back up to check, and the others were still distracted.

Trying my best to get a good grip, I started lifting the rubble with all the strength I had left, but it was just too much for me, I couldn't move it. The man cried out more, the pressure on his leg must be torture. Looking around for something to help, there was a long metal pole that I could use. Dragging it along and placing one end under the rubble, next to the leg. I steadied myself once more…

BAM! Before I was knocked flat by something metal. My face felt like it had swollen up; only one thing could make me feel that way. ''I should have know you weren't dead!'' Judge hissed holding his hammer at me.

I would have said something witty or sarcastic back at him, but right now moving my cheek caused too much pain. Judge charged at me and slammed his hammer down; I roll back dodging the attack, but he came at me more, swinging his hammer and hitting me on the side knocking me right into another car. This time he threw it at me Thor-style, I moved out of the way as the hammer crashed into the car and stuck in place.

BAM! With that distraction, Judge punched me in the face and continued to pummel me not giving me a chance to defend myself. Sliding down until I was sat on the ground, I kicked hard at both his knees, causing him to buckle awkwardly. BAM! A hard uppercut followed and he backed off. Without my knuckle-dusters, it didn't cause as much damage, meaning he was now able to grab hold of me and toss me aside as he reached for his hammer once more.

Trying to keep fighting was a bitch, that sneak attack to the face rattled my senses, and they were bad enough as it was with having to carry everyone to safety. I wasn't even ready for his attack now as he swung his hammer at me again…but the impact didn't happen. The only thing the hammer got close to was its handle being intercepted by two Tonfas.

BAM! Judge was then kicked to the head by the wielder of the Tonfas. This defiantly caught the villain off guard, and me too, but I was so hurt now it didn't really matter. My saviour twirled one of the Tonfas by its handle, striking a deadly pose and giving off a smirk of pure confidence…Omega Girl was here.

''Hey there's something on your face,'' She said before sprinting forward before doing a front flip while kicking Judge across the head at the same time. ''Pain!''
