Chapter 54: Enemy's Enemy
Not everyday you get to tell your friends about your adventures in the future. The two months I was there I had taken down crime lords, advanced hooligans…although I admit I did have the assistance of a Hellwrath and future superhero Rachael most of the time, but it was still a great experience. Sure it all happened in my head while I was in a deep coma, but during training I noticed a big difference. Everything I learned I could still do, all those moves and ways of fighting were still easy for me to accomplish. It was like plugging into the Matrix and downloading knowledge into my brain…awesome!
Still, haven't really put that training into practice. Three weeks, and I'm still debating over my going back as Omega Kid situation. It was mixed reactions with whoever I asked, leaving it all down to me. Well, everyone except Donavan, who insisted I returned to the game and stop this foolish mid-life crisis struggle or something like that. Mid-life crisis? I'm mid-teen if anything.
That guy has really been pushing my buttons lately; after what happened with the bridge incident, we were all battered and broken, needing weeks to really recover. Yet he's constantly on our case trying to 'prepare' us for more battles, but it's just too much for anyone at the moment. Diandra was the most effected by the fight, and with her wanting to keep her missing arm still a secret, it was getting more and more difficult for her.
All in all, everything else outside of superhero work was pretty average stuff. School, hanging out, nothing much else. Although I'm still having the problem of every time I see Rachael we both just go as red as an apple and try to keep as little contact as possible. And us sitting together in the Hallblock grounds during lunch holding hands was not helping our cause.
''Ow!'' Alex yelped sharply as he attempted to lift his leg up and sit properly while Rachael, Steph, Stella, Megan and I all giggled a little. ''Very mature guys, like laughing at a wounded soldier who returned from war.''
''Hey I was there to and you don't see me moaning do you?'' Stella responded.
''Yeah well unlike you or Thomas, I don't have a protective girlfriend to assume the role or nurse and tend to my every whim!''
''Neither do I,'' Steph mumbled. Alex didn't look too happy and was about to give his usual slap across the head until the younger brother backed off. ''Don't! My head still hurts!''
''Poor baby!'' Rachael played along and wrapped her arm protectively around Steph and moved him away from Alex. ''We'll protect you.''
''Yeah, or I might run you over!'' Alex joked.
''I still can't believe you did that!'' I said.
''You would have done the same thing.''
''No, it would never have crossed my mind to steal a car and run over a super villain!''
''Technically I didn't steal, it was a sticky situation so I borrowed the car, and in the end it helped the situation didn't it?''
''True!'' Can't argue there, whatever Rainbow had given Volos made him near unbeatable, guess running him over was really the only option. And not only did he manage to survive the impact, but since neither two of the villains were found, they must have got away. That fight always brings me back to the image of seeing Judge's fate, I've seen some nasty stuff before, but seeing someone get blown up right in front of me was something I was hoping never to repeat.
''You okay?'' Rachael asked me, showing some concern for me zoning out like that.
''Just still trying to get back to full strength!''
''Oh? Didn't your little adventure in the future cure you?'' She teased playfully.
''I learned some new moves, that's surprising enough. I doubt a dream could cure me.''
''Still…Hellrider and me? Are you serious?'' She questioned like I was from an insane asylum.
''I don't even know where that came from…I think after seeing that maybe Hellrider isn't just some uncontrollable brute…''
''You want me to date him instead?''
''Hell no!'' I quickly told her. ''I just meant…I don't even know…my mind was just playing tricks with me I guess.''
She ruffled my hair gently and gently kissed me on the cheek. ''Well you have nothing to worry about, you know the only person I'd ever want to be with is…'' She then stopped mid sentence and looked past me, her eyes bulging out and a large smile appearing on her face. ''Tristan?'' She cried out before running past me and over to someone who was walking past.
A tall lanky guy but must work out quite a bit and liked to show it off cause his short-sleeved shirt was defiantly to get the girl's attention. Tanned skin, dark black eye and clear green eyes; most people would class him as one of those High School Musical heartthrobs, only he didn't look as goody and innocent. Trust me, after the trust issues I've had with people I've been practicing how to read people better, and this guy was not giving me a good first impressions…especially since he just drove Rachael over to him and they were chatting away like mad, laughing and everything. ''Oh, someone's got competition!'' Alex mumbled sarcastically.
''Competi…?'' I stuttered still bewildered by what's happening. ''Who is this guy?''
''I've never seen him before!'' Megan said.
''That's Tristan McDean!'' Stella told us. ''He use to live around here until him and his family moved up to Manchester I think…''
''And where does Rachael fit in all this?'' I asked trying not to sound impatient to get the answer.
''Used to be good friends; if Rachael wasn't hanging around with me, Chloe or Sophie, she'd go over to Tristan's place, before they moved of course.''
''Looks like he's back.'' Steph mumbled.
''Definite competition mate!'' I don't know whether Alex was just taking the mick, but I did not like the sound of this one bit.
''He's not competition!'' I quickly and quietly scolded him before Rachael brought the bronze fish over for us to meet. Oh God, that smile he was giving made me want to throw up.
''Everyone,'' Rachael gathered all our attentions…as if it all wasn't already on her and the new guy. ''This is Tristan, we use to be friends not too long ago.''
''Feels like it though!'' He talks in a voice that sounds way too deep to be a teenager's. Makes mine now sound like one of the Chipmunks voice in comparison.
She laughed and agreed with his statement. ''Too true. You remember Stella don't you?''
''Of course,'' He replied holding out his hand for her to shake. ''You been well?''
''I'm doing great,'' She answers before pointing to Megan. ''This is Megan, my girlfriend!'' Megan follows that with a shy wave to Tristan. I could see the quick shift of his eyebrows at Stella's confession; he was clearly surprised, and maybe a little too happy to hear that. I dislike this guy more and more, and I haven't even been introduced yet.
Rachael continued with the introductions. ''And the brothers here are Alex and Stephen!'' The two gave nothing more than a salute and hi; Tristan didn't seem to show any real interest with them. Finally Rachael came closer to me and put her hand on my shoulder. ''And this is my boyfriend Thomas!''
''Boyfriend eh?'' His voice going high pitch for a split second as if it was the most shocking thing he ever heard, but no one other than me really seemed to pick up on it. Taking his time, he finally held out his hand for me to shake, and it took me just as long to eventually comply. ''Hope you're taking care of her!'' He tells me.
''I'm doing my best.''
He nods his head in response, I get the feeling he doesn't seem fond of me either. Either he's really caring and genuine, looking out for Rachael's best interest at heart, making sure I'm the right one for her…or he's waiting for the right moment to stab me in the back and take Rachael for himself. We finally cease with our 'friendly' shake and Rachael approaches him, her smile not leaving at all. ''So what brings you here? I thought you and your family moved years ago?''
''We did! But then my parent's job was relocated back to here and so I'm back!''
''You miss Manchester?'' I asked.
He shook his head with no hesitation. ''Not really, I'm a London boy at heart.'' He then turns back to Rachael. ''But honestly I had no idea you went here either, already I'm enjoying being back!''
He did not just say that! Boyfriend sitting right here! Even Kevin could never push my buttons like this, but although he's made some flirts with Rachael, they've never been serious. But this guy just strolls in and thinks he can woo her back into his arms. ''You want to stay a bit? Catch up on things?'' Rachael asked.
''Can't, got to talk with my teacher over something. But after school we could hang out a bit, you could say hello to the folks again!''
''Sure,'' Rachael replied before turning to me. ''You don't mind if we meet up after? Just want to catch up with Tristan here!''
Here's when I should have just stood up to the guy and tell him to back off otherwise he'll get an Omega-Swing like none before. The words crawling up my throat turned out like this. ''Sure no problem…''
God Harry was right, I am too nice!
''Someone's jealous!''
''I'm not jealous!''
''You are so jealous mate!''
''I am not jealous!''
''I don't think I've ever seen you want to nail someone as badly as today who wasn't a villain or bully! So jealous!'' This argument went back and forth since school was over. Alex and I would continually banter, Stephen following behind feeling that anything he said would earn him a slap from Alex, a risk not worth taking. Right now, Rachael and Tristan were probably bonding over old times and giving each other happy stares after not seeing each other for so long, I swear if he's trying to make a move then…
''Okay I'm jealous, you happy?'' I admitted as we came to a stop on a park bench.
''Sorry, but you've just got it bad at the moment.''
''But did you see the way he kept looking at her? The way he kept slyly trying to make a move on her?''
''Did you also hear that they were friends a while ago?'' Alex said. ''Thomas they're just friends that haven't seen each other in years, it's no biggie!''
''I just got this bad vibe off him!''
''Thomas you thought just because that you're Rachael's boyfriend, guys were going to stop trying to make a move on her? We may not be like that, but nobility isn't something found often in this world anymore. Rachael's a good looking girl, you're going to have guys come up to her and constantly ask her out and…''
''If you're trying to inspire confidence, it's not working!'' I muttered.
''Okay let me try something else then,'' He said. ''Loyalty. Steph and I have known her for almost a year now, and we can tell she's not the type of girl to just up and leave, especially not to you. If you love her than you must trust her. Like some guy can just come along and win her back from you, even if he has known her longer. She's not going to be leaving you any time soon…if at all!''
It still amazes me the times when Alex can leave me speechless and chuffed with his words of confidence, guess they're so rare…not really, almost all the time he gives me confidence in myself. And he's right; I trust Rachael, and she would never walk away, especially not into the arms of a guy like him. ''Thanks!''
''Just speaking the truth!''
''Hey bro!'' Steph tapped on Alex's shoulder. ''Speaking of that, your crush is here!''
''Chloe? Where?'' He leapt up like a dog that was about to get his favourite treat, looking around for her. Turning to where Steph was pointing, not to far from us was a football court, and there was Chloe along with a large group of players having a normal kick about. I still find it hard to believe my luck in trying to get another game at Hallblock, although I knew it would be hard after my horrendous debut, I've just been unlucky in trying to get back in the team with something always coming up. But playing in the park now might just be the restart I need, plus it will get my mind off of Rachael and Tristan, and might even help Alex with his love predicament.
''Well let's go over then.'' I told them. Getting up and walking towards the pitch, I noticed that Steph was the only one following. We both turned to see Alex still sitting on the bench, looking like he was trying to hide his face. ''Come on then!'' I called out to him.
''Y…You guys go ahead! I'll watch the flanks!'' He stuttered shyly.
''You're going to miss out on this chance? She's right here, and you can just start talking over football or something. You were on about joining the team before!''
''Yeah, but that was before she was single and I realised I was a babbling freak when trying to talk with her! I can't do it!''
''Hasn't Megan been helping you with your confidence?'' I asked.
''Yeah…it's just…I'm not ready. Just give me a couple more days and I'll talk with her.''
I can tell he's really nervous about this crush thing with Chloe, now that's defiantly rare to see, and almost heart-breaking. He just showed five seconds ago he knows what to say to always make me feel confident, but I can never seem to help him out the same way. All I could tell him was that Chloe won't wait forever but that won't help. I could also tell him that Chloe does fancy him, but Megan said that would make things worse. Guess there isn't much I can do on my part. ''Alright then, Steph and I will try to score an extra goal for you!'' I told him reassuringly.
''Um…Thomas…'' Steph said. ''I know I'm going to regret saying this but you should know that Tristan and Rachael are here too!''
''What?'' I gasped and looked back over. As the teams were taking a break and chatting with each other, right at the back of the pack was Tristan talking with Rachael. ''He plays football?'' There was no doubt about it; he was in the full kit and trainers for the game. All sense of rationality leaving my mind as I stormed over to him with Alex and Steph following up behind me.
Rachael was the first to notice us and walked over hugging me. ''Hey, how are you?''
''I'm good…'' I lied trying not to grit my teeth or stare at Tristan as he warmed up, his eyes occasionally darting over to check on Rachael and me. Trying to ignore him I turned my attention back on the football activity that was going on around us. ''So what's going on here?''
''Oh just a bit of football practice. Chloe invited Tristan and I over once I told her that he use to play.''
''He use to play?'' It was getting increasingly difficult to hide my increasing jealousy now.
''Still do,'' He said as he walked over. ''Part of TMC Football Club, you might have heard of us. Won a few semi-professional competitions here and there, I also got the golden boot quite a few times…'' He went on and on about his achievements, like he was trying to show off in front of Rachael…and me! Trying to make himself sound like the bigger man. ''I hear you're not so good at it!''
That knocked me back a peg or two. ''What do you mean?''
''I heard it was you that made your school team lose once, you must have felt bad after that.'' He was doing his best to hide a smirk as he pointed that out.
''I wasn't…I mean…it wasn't like…'' I couldn't really argue with his statement, I did make the team lose and I did feel like shit about it, and still do. As if I wasn't reminded enough about it in school.
''That's not true!'' Rachael spoke up for me. ''I've seen Thomas when he plays; he's really committed and determined to win every game. He just had a cheat to deal with that game.''
''That's right!'' Alex followed. ''If he wanted, he could take on any player, any time, any where!''
Tristan looked back at me now, as if he was trying to judge me with their words by my appearance. ''Is that right?'' He asked me.
''Well…'' I wanted to make myself sound good, but not freakin Maradonna good. ''I can play better then I did that day!''
He shrugged his shoulders. ''Let's see about that, I hope you won't disappoint. The way Rachael goes on about you, I expect something special!'' With that he jogged over to join a few others players, most likely the team he was going to be playing with. If I were alone, I would hit something. The guy is just so arrogant and pig-headed; he makes Simon Cowell look like a saint in comparison.
I turned to Rachael. ''Is he really the star player of a professional team?''
She laughed a little. ''The team is amateur more than anything, he just always tries to make it sound bigger than it already is. Plus the teams they always play against are never that good anyway, if he ever went up against you and Hallblock, you'd destroy them. Even Alex here could take him.'' She joked.
''Hey, what's that supposed to mean? You think I'm not that good?''
''Thought you didn't want to play?'' Stephen asked him…and that's when he finally earned a slap around the head.
''I don't, I'm just saying I can play good if I wanted too.''
Just then another voice spoke up. ''How come you don't want to play?'' Looking behind us, Alex nearly had a heart attack as Chloe was standing right there. ''We could use a few more players on our team.''
''I…uh…we…um…'' Alex was stuttering again, he was caught completely off guard by this and didn't know what to say, oh I know that feeling.
I quickly moved in front of him and talked with her. ''He was talking about something else; you know the football computer games. He never enjoys those, he much prefers playing the real thing. We'll join your team.''
She nodded her head. ''Cool, kick-off is in five.'' Afterwards she walked back to get the other players for our team ready.
''Hey!'' Alex grabbed my shoulder and forced me to look at him. ''Two things, one…I happen to enjoy the video games a lot more than the real things. And two…what the hell did you do that for? I can't talk to her, let alone play football with her.''
''You'll be fine, once the game starts it's all you'll think about. And think of it as payback for speaking for me against Tristan a minute ago.''
''Touché mate, touché!'' He mumbled grouchily as he and Steph walked onto the pitch to join up and get to know the others on the team. I know that Alex will do fine, when he really wants to, he can last a full football game. He fights super villains and gangsters on a regular basis; this should be no problem for him.
I on the other hand, have no clue how I'm going to handle. The reason I did so bad in my first game was because of personal issues off the pitch, now that a issue has come onto it, am I going to do worse? If that's even possible. ''You really think I can play better than Tristan?'' I asked Rachael.
She leaned over and quickly kissed me on the cheek. ''Positive!'' That's good enough for me.
Joining the others on the pitch, I found myself in my usual defensive position. I've just realised…if Tristan says he's won the golden boot a few times, he has to be a striker…so…I can tackle him! I like the way this is going already! A whistle sounded for the game to begin, and guess who it was right away who has the ball and is coming right towards me? Only one person really.
Looking around, I was the only defender on my team, so he's all mine. Running up towards him, he sees me and attempts to fake out for the left and instead go right, I've seen this move all the time with thugs and the way they try to make a run for it. Sticking out a leg, I get the ball fairly and manage to trip him up as well. The runaway ball fell into the path of Steph and he sent it flying forward.
''Well…'' I heard Tristan as he got to his feet and walked past me. ''Looks like I can't go easy on you after all.''
''You'll find I'm full of surprises!'' I replied. You know, I know I've heard that from a movie before but I can't quite remember which one it…
''How the hell did someone like you get with Rachael?'' He then whispered to me before running up the field to try and win the ball back, leaving me a little stunned with what he just said. He's left little sly remarks about it, but that was the first I've properly heard him make a comment about Rachael and I together.
''Thomas heads up!''
The ball was flying in the air towards me; readying myself for a header I was about to clear it when another more familiar voice called out. ''Who's that with Rachael?'' My head didn't know which way to turn after hearing that, forcing me to miss the ball completely and for Tristan to barge his way past me and go after it…bet I know who said that now. Running after him, he didn't get very far before I slid in and kicked the ball away from his feet.
But even though I still won the tackle he couldn't help but laugh. ''That was almost too easy!''
I walked up to him and grabbed him by the arm forcing him to look at me. ''What do you think you're playing at?''
''I've known Rachael for years; she's beautiful, popular and deserves the best there is. I find it sick that someone like you is going out with her!'' He sneered.
''What's that supposed to mean?''
''Does anyone even know you? Are you actually good at anything? No! You're a little faggot that doesn't deserve Rachael!''
''And you do?'' I nearly yelled sarcastically.
''Why not?'' He replied in all honesty. ''I'm everything you're not! Handsome, popular and confident Everything that Rachael does actually deserve, I bet you she's fed up with you already. How long do you actually last with her in bed?''
I nearly knocked all of his teeth out of his skull before Alex grabbed hold of me and backed me away from him. Tristan didn't bother to continue with the argument and instead went off to retrieve the ball. ''I swear to God, I'll break his legs if I get the chance!'' I hissed.
''No, that's what he's trying to do!'' Alex told me. ''Why do you think he was asking about your last bad game? He's trying to get to you. Don't let him!''
''You didn't hear the things he said about Rachael and me!''
''Those are just words alright! People are like that! Of course he's going to try and win Rachael back off you, but he can't. You know why? Because you two are happy together, and he's defiantly not Rachael's type. You have nothing to worry about, just ignore him, and try to get back your football reputation!''
''Guys!'' Steph called us. ''You know we're still playing!''
''Oh crap!'' Alex and I both said before getting back to the game at hand.
Taking in Alex's words, I did my best to just ignore everything that Tristan said and focus on keeping him as frustrated on the football field as possible. And it seemed to be working as he wasn't getting past me know as I just ignored and focused on the football. He tried every move he could think of to get past me, but they were all moves I've seen before, in football or dealing with runaway criminals, and I managed to tackle him and finally have something to laugh in his face about.
Not only that, but Alex seemed to be doing pretty well himself. He wasn't tiring out as usual in football games, and he made all the right decisions in terms of movement and passing, finding whoever he could and setting up a chance or a goal. And from the looks Chloe seemed to give him, I could tell she was defiantly impressed by what he had to offer, thankfully Alex himself didn't notice or he'd probably faint or something and that'd be all the hard work squandered.
After a while, the whistle blew and Chloe called out to the others. ''Good match everyone! Let's warm down and pack up!'' Ow, it's been so long since I've had a proper match I forgot how much my legs would ache afterwards. It makes fighting super villains seem like a walk in the park, and it looks like Steph too was exhausted as he slumped down on the bench. As for Alex…
''THAT WAS AWESOME!'' He yelled at the top of his voice. ''I've never felt so pumped, I feel like I can go on for another hour or two!''
''You did the most running!'' Rachael told him.
''I know, but I still feel like I can keep going. It was like the spirit of football was with me! I even feel like running back home now! Come on slowpoke!'' He gently patted Steph on the head before making a run for the path out of the park and towards home.
Steph slowly looked at us. ''He's going to be the death of me!'' Finally finding the strength to pick himself up, he limped in the same direction as his brother, who was probably half way home by now the way he was running.
It was hard not to laugh, to think Alex didn't want to play football at the start; he'll probably be calling me up for some games on weekend and whenever school finishes. It was even sore for me when Rachael wrapped her arms around my shoulders. ''And you were great as well!''
''I agree!'' Tristan said as he walked over to us. ''Gave me a good game, listen Rachael I have to go now!''
''Now?'' Rachael sounded a little disappointed…complete opposite of how I felt.
''Yeah. But we'll hang out some other time, catch you later. Thomas.'' That was it for me, just a say of my name before taking his leave…and not a moment too soon.
''So he was your best friend when you were little?'' I questioned trying to sound playfully sarcastic, but in reality I had no clue how someone like that could have any friends really.
''That's right!'' She replied before sitting next to me. Stroking my hair a bit she continued. ''Thomas don't think I haven't noticed.''
''Noticed what?'' I tried to play innocent but it didn't work.
''You've been jealous of him since I introduced you. I know that look you get when you want to beat up someone, and you're a superhero so you get that look quite a lot,'' She attempted at a joke, but she really got how I felt when I didn't laugh. ''Has it really been bothering you that much?''
''I'm sorry…it's just that…I'm not use to feeling jealous. I don't really know how to handle it well.''
''Listen to me,'' She said forcing me to look at her, giving her my undivided attention. ''You shouldn't be jealous of him. Sure he's been my friend for years, but that's it, a friend. I could never see him as anything more.''
''And how does he feel?'' I asked before I could really stop myself.
''Oh he's asked me out hundreds of times…including earlier today.''
''HE WHAT?'' I screamed in disbelief. That bastard! He knew I was with Rachael, and yet he still had the nerve to…
''Relax, I turned him down obviously. I said I was already happily with someone.''
''How could you be friends with someone like that?'' I had to ask because now I'm just finding it harder to believe with every passing second.
Regarding my question, Rachael took a lot longer to answer than the others. She even seemed to be questioning herself as to why she was a still friend with him. ''He was…the first one I confided with…about my Parkinson's. He promised to keep it a secret, and he was really supportive over it. So I'm forever grateful for that.''
I guess someone would feel grateful to a friend for supporting them over something like this, but not I feel bad for another reason. I always thought that I was the first person she confided with her condition; I wanted to be the first to know and help her through it. ''How come you never mentioned him before?'' I asked.
She shrugged her shoulders. ''Because other than that, I really can't be friends with someone like him. But I owe him so. I'm sorry that I made you feel like that and didn't tell you about him.''
''Hey you don't have anything to apologise for, I'm the one that doesn't know how to keep their feelings in check.''
''For what it's worth, you're cute when you're jealous!'' She winked. I laughed a little and she did too, then her laugh grew, as she must have thought of something else. ''I don't think he was too happy about me cheering every time you tackled him.''
At least the day didn't end with me still feeling jealous about Tristan…well, as jealous at least. He thinks he's good enough for Rachael when really he's just so arrogant that his ego is probably the size of China. Well, I can say to him tomorrow that he's the one who isn't good enough for Rachael…at times I still think I'm not good enough for her. I'm just lucky I guess, and knowing Tristan he's going to need ten times the amount of luck if he ever wants to find the right girl.
My legs were still sore as I walked home on my own; Rachael had to head off to do something else with her mum, and I haven't heard from Alex or Steph yet, he's probably practicing some more for his next game. Got to feel sorry for Steph if he's being forced into it if he's hurting just as much as I am at the moment.
With a sharp intake of breath, my lungs nearly froze instantly, the air just got so cold all of a sudden. I could see my breath once I exhaled, and I was starting to shiver as well. It was baking five seconds ago…in fact, it's just started getting hot again. In the distance I could hear something, and it was making my ears ring. At first I thought building or road works were going on, but that theory was quickly debunked.
BOOM! As something large just broke threw the wall right in front of me, sending me flying across the road and landing in a heap on the other side. Rising to my feet and watched as the dust cleared to be greeted by three familiar mecha suited villains. ''Just when I thought this day was going to end on a good note!'' I mumbled to myself.
''Oh great!'' Pyro stressed out once he saw me. ''As if we've got enough problems!''
''You know,'' Cryo then spoke. ''I've always found it amusingly coincidental the amount of encounters we would have with each other despite the vastness of London City.'' I actually have to agree with him on that point.
''Enough with the textbook!'' Pyro shouted back at him as the three of them attempted to make a run for it. You would have guessed that with them catching me off guard and outnumbering me, they wouldn't be the ones running for the hills. Dashing in front of them to block off their only escape, I steadied myself for an attack. Instead Pyro held out his flamethrower arm, pointing it towards me. ''Out of the way, we don't have time to deal with you!''
''This coming from guys who claim to be my our enemies!'' I taunted back.
''We are!'' He confirmed. ''But at this point in time, we're busy with someone else!''
''And who might that be?''
BOOM! Coming out of the hole that Triple Terror had left further down the road, a large sonic boom blew apart any debris that was in the way and left a perfect-circled crater for a figure to step out of. The one that Triple Terror was dealing with was…just one…a woman…a woman in another Rostrum Tech suit. Slimmer than any of theirs, but no circuits our weapons on either arm, so I don't know where her attacks come from.
''Our ex!'' Bulk told me.
I nearly buckled in surprise, what does he mean by 'our' ex? And they had an ex? Wait…did all three of them go out with her? There wasn't much time to ask them as she approached us, menace painted on her face, and on her face I noticed there were some circuits that were leading inside her mouth. And as it open, that's when I noticed she had something attached insider her very gums. ''Where do you think you're going?'' She hissed at them before opening her mouth as wide as she could…I'm not going to like this.
AHHHHHH! She let off a super sonic scream that might only be heard when standing next to a jet airplane. The force of the blast was enough to knock Triple Terror all off their feet and flying towards me. She wasn't close enough to blow me off my feet, but she'd done enough damage to my ears. I yelped in pain and fell to my knees trying to cover my ears, now I know what that ringing noise I heard earlier was. This is just great, a villain whose power exploits my weakness, how am I supposed to fight that?
''Out of my way kid!'' The woman said as she walked up to me. ''This doesn't concern you!''
Here's where I should do that smart thing and just leave. I can't fight back against this, especially on my own. I'm lucky I wasn't deaf right now after a blast she solely focused on Triple Terror, she aims one at me, and I won't stand a chance. And when I think about it, should I stop someone from attacking them? They are my enemies after all; why not let someone else take them out?
''Fine…'' She spoke bringing me out of my thoughts. ''You can go to hell with them!'' And with that she readied for another blast at me.
''Hold on, you never let me make a choice!'' I shouted back at her while trying to make a run for it and covering my ears, but I was too close, I can't fight against this.
Before anything can happen though, Bulk came out of nowhere and slams right into her sending her flying on top of a car. Once she had landed, Cryo stepped forward and froze her on the car, keeping her trapped. ''Ha!'' They all laughed as Pryo taunted her. ''What you going to do now Screamer?''
''Will you stop laughing and finish her!'' I shouted at them…can't believe this is so similar to how I would shout at Alex or Steph when we're on patrol.
''We already have done!'' Pyro said as the three of them advanced on me. ''And now we can take care of you!''
''You haven't! Her mouth isn't frozen, hurry before she…''
AHHHH! Too late as she screams and breaks apart the ice that had trapped her onto the car. Free and ready for some more, she opens her mouth and gets ready to unleash another attack. Instantly, the four of us headed for a corner just as another sonic blasts annihilates anything that was in its path. The noise becoming too much for my ears as I do my best to block out the noise.
''What's the matter with you?'' Pyro shouted at me, which really wasn't helping my hearing problem.
''Well you should know, it's your fault my hearing is like this!'' I yelled back at him.
''What did we do?''
''Do I really have to answer that question?'' I asked rhetorically. Arguing with them right now wasn't going to solve anything. ''Just who the hell is that attacking you?''
''We told you our ex?'' Cryo responded.
''How about you explain a bit more!''
AHHHH! Another scream sound wave broke some of the bricks off the buildings near by as she aimed her attacks towards the corner we were hiding behind. She probably wasn't going around in case Triple Terror made a sneak attack on her; right now I was hardly a threat. And with no costume and the world still believing me dead, Screamer has no clue who I really am.
Once that last scream had died down, Pyro talked to me. ''Okay…her name is Christina. She went out with each of us before…and then a few complications happened…''
''Like?''
It looked as if he was embarrassed in what he was about to say. ''She realised she was dating brothers…us three…at the same time.''
Despite the dramatic and intense situation I was in, my jaw practically dropped to the ground. ''You cheated on her…with each other!''
''No…she cheated on us with each other!'' Pyro attempted to correct me all thought whatever way you look at it, it was a bad thing. ''Hey bros before hoes right!''
''Well that explains her little rampage, but how the hell did she get tech like that?''
Once again, he seemed embarrassed with having to give the answer. ''We…''
''WHAT?'' Both Bulk and Cryo gasped at the same time.
''Aright, I might have snuck her into some of the tech rooms when we needed some alone time to…you know…She must have remembered the password and security codes and snuck back in.''
''I can't believe I'm hearing this.'' I said.
Cryo was now the one who spoke for the group to me. ''I know we've had our difficulties in the past…''
''Difficulties, is that what you're calling your attempts to kill me and my friends now?'' I shouted back at him.
''Point is,'' Pyro continued. ''Can we just put everything aside so we can deal with this. She's seen your face, you're apart of this too now.''
I hate to say it, but he's right about me now being apart of this, whether I like it or not. Sighing with heavy frustration I nodded my head. ''Okay then, I'll cause a distraction. Once she focuses on me, make sure you use your weapons to finish her for good this time!''
''She's all ours!'' Pyro told me, although I didn't trust him nearly as much as I did with my partners. I'd trust Hellrider right now more than these three…even when he's crazy with Rainbow's chemicals. Covering my ears with my hands I ran out into the road, in front of her sight and making sure I had her attention.
''Hey, what's the matter? Sad you got cheated on by jackasses like Triple Terror!'' I really shouldn't be doing this to the villain that can make me deaf with a single blast, but if I had any chance of making it out of this, I had to trust Triple Terror this one time. Screamer opened her mouth and was ready for another blast. ''NOW!''
Pryo was the first out and unleashed a powerful flame attack on her. AHHHH! She blasted back with enough force to extinguish the flames instantly and send Pyro crashing back against the wall. Cryo ran towards her, his metal plated fists covered in ice, he slammed both of them down at her. AHHHH! It yielded the same results as his brother, as the blast broke apart the ice fists and threw him back and causing him to land with a hard crash.
BAAM! Bulk had the only real success as he slammed into Screamer's back, knocking her down to the ground. He jumped up, ready to crush her into the ground…AHHHH! But just ended up the same, as she blasted him into the air. How could their ears hold up at such close range? That's when I noticed all three of them had some metal earplugs of sorts…and they didn't bother to give me a pair?
She stood over Bulk's weak body now, he was trying to get back up, but he was still shaken up from the last attack. ''I'll send you all to hell!'' She opened her mouth, ready to fire point blank, no chance of surviving against that. Against my better judgement, I ran forward and fly kicked her right in the back. Thanks to her mecha-suit, I didn't knock her far, but enough to divert her attention from Bulk towards me…why did I do that again?
''I don't know who you are! But if you're protecting people like these, you're no better than them. Filthy, lying cheaters, the lot of them!''
''Just hold on a second!'' I pleaded. I know my negotiation CV isn't all that impressive, in fact it's crap, but I don't have any other option at the moment. ''I know you're mad, what these guys did to you was wrong…''
''They took my trust for granted! I gave them my care and love…and they betrayed me!''
''And you don't have to kill them for it! They've done other crimes, so they'll be in prison for a long time I guarantee you.''
''Hey!'' Pyro cried out weakly. ''I thought we were going to put everything aside?''
''I'm trying to save your life dumbass!'' I shouted back.
Screamer caught me off guard by grabbing me around the neck and holding me up. Face to face with her, one blast from her screams and being deaf would probably be the least of my concerns. ''I don't care about what else they've done,'' She said. ''I'll kill them right now for making me look a fool!''
''Listen…I can sort of understand what you're going through. I'm with someone myself…and…there's been someone trying to win that person off me. But they won't, because we're right for each other. Just because these three weren't right for you, you don't have to go down this path. You can find someone else!''
''Oh I will…'' She said. ''I just want to make sure that no one else will be betrayed by them again.''
''Then let them go to jail, you don't have to kill them!''
She tightened her grip around my neck, this wasn't working. Going for plan B, I knee her in the stomach trying to force her to let go. But her mecha suit covered everywhere I could hit; she wasn't going to let go. ''Tell you what…I'll kill you first, so you don't have to watch them die!'' Crap, I can't do anything to stop her as she opens her mouth right in my face. I can see the circuits' move and spark as the machine in her gums powers up and the buzzing sound rings in my ears…
BAM! Out of nowhere, a kick comes flying across Screamer's face and knocks her aside. I fall to my knees, trying to regain my breath. Looking up I see my saviour, not someone I was expecting to meet again, and she was probably surprised to see me too. ''Thanks again!'' I said to Omega Girl as she twirled her Tonfas.
''There are other ways to get a girl's attention you know,'' She talks to me in her forced German accent while keeping her eyes on Screamer. ''Luckily for you, you get the kind of attention that I like. You best get out of here while I deal with loudmouth here!''
''Sorry, but I promised to help these guys out with her.'' I gestured towards Triple Terror, who had all gotten up and joined Omega Girl and me.
''So what do we have here,'' Omega Girl spoke as she looked at each Triple Terror member. ''We've got the hot headed one with the hot gadgets but un-hot body. The ice one with armour that suggests he's trying to compensate for something! And the last one must be the strong, stupid one!''
''You take that back!'' Bulk ordered her.
''Alright, alright, you're not strong!''
''That's better…hey!''
Before the witty banters could continue however, Screamer was back up and ready for another strike. AHHHH! She sends another shockwave our way, each of us finding our own places to dodge the attack. Omega Girl and I found some cover behind a mailbox while Triple Terror went on the attack. The clash of strikes and Screamers cries of power were enough to send my head into a spin, I could barely stay on my own two feet the way my ears were in pain, they were so close to drawing blood.
''Are you okay there?'' Omega Girl addressed me, noticing the pain I was in. ''Think you should sit this one out bud, don't want your head exploding on me!''
''No! I can help!''
While I tried to cover my ears, Omega Girl pulled out something from her belt…small little balls, where they smoke grenades? ''Leave this to the professionals!'' She threw them overhead, right in the middle of the battle between the mecha's. Little sparks setting off catching them all by surprise. And what caught me by surprise was how she managed to jump over the mailbox and then use one hand to push herself up off it right above Screamer BAM! Before giving her a strike with the Tonfa across her face. The ways she fights Screamer and her fight with Judge, it's like this girl doesn't know the meaning of the word gravity.
I was going to be more of a distraction then anything else with my bad ears. So I just watched on as they all tried to take down Screamer. Pyro and Cyro used their blast attacks to force her into retreat, while Bulk would knock her down with his pounding beatings and Omega Girl with her quick movements and sharp jabs and kicks. Screamer would send blast after blast after them, although Triple Terror handle well from afar with their protective ear-wear, I could tell Omega Girl wasn't handling well at such close range. Her ears were starting to bleed, as were mine, and I'm not even in the thick of the action!
AHHHH! The tide of the battle changed for the worse though as Screamer hits all of Triple Terror in one blast, clearing them off the battlefield and leaving just her and Omega Girl alone to duke it out. Omega Girl charged forward, evading all of Screamer's blasts and striking at both legs with her Tonfas knocking her to the ground. BAM! Before giving a roundhouse kick to the head from behind, slamming her into the ground.
It wasn't over though as Screamer lifted her head AHHHHH! And gave another shockwave, although not aimed at Omega Girl, it was loud enough to force her off guard and give Screamer the chance to punch her in the face. One of her Tonfas rolled in my direction and the other too far for her to retrieve and defend herself as Screamer was ready to end it with one final blast directly. Ignoring the painful sensation in my ears, I grabbed the Tonfa that rolled over to me and charged at Screamer before she could notice me.
BAM! A strong swing to the face knocked her back, but I had to end this, take out what made her suit powerful and that would be that. Risking my very own life (as if I don't do that enough already); I charge towards her as she turns to me and opens her mouth, ready to blast me full on in my face. I jab the Tonfa into her mouth and strike at the mechanics that caused the sonic blasts.
BOOM! I must have hit something important, as a little explosion is caused in her mouth, sending both of us flying back in opposite directions. Thank God for me, the sound of it wasn't loud enough to do any lasting damage to me, but it did hurt my ears like Hell for a second or two. Although I can tell that Screamer is in a lot more pain than I am after that explosion; she was on the ground and holding onto her mouth, blood flowing in large quantities through the gaps of her fingers. I doubt she'll cause any more super sonic trouble now. ''Nice save!'' Omega Girl called out to me as she jogged over to help me up.
''Yeah nice work!'' Pyro said as the three of them rose to their feet. ''In fact, we're so impressed with you, we'll let you off with a warning this time!''
''A warning?'' I questioned.
''That's right! We're still your number one villains! This little team up here changes nothing…
''Other than our perceptions on relationships!'' Cryo interrupted.
Pryo ignored him as the three retreated. ''We'll be back!'' I could have stopped them, but I was too exhausted and my ears wouldn't be able to handle any more trouble for today. Looks like I'll have to let them go this one time, besides, I'm at a disadvantage anyway.
''What do they mean they're your number one villains?'' Omega Girl asked me.
I turned back to her, unsure of how to back myself out of this. Should I tell her? She seems like a fan of Omega Kid, but then again, I've been in this situation a few times and when have my fans ever turned out to be sane? They always want me dead some way or the other. I just shrug my shoulders at her. ''I don't know. I think I'm just unlucky enough to resemble someone they know.''
''Unlucky with looks and places…how is it you're always where the thick of the action is?''
''Unlucky again!''
She nods her head unconvincingly. ''Yeah I'm sure that's it. Despite being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you know how to fight your way out of it!''
''So do you!'' I tried to accuse her and get the heat off me, but it wasn't working.
''See this costume, it doesn't just make me look good, I'm a superhero!''
''How did you get your training?'' I asked without really thinking, as if the suspicion wasn't on me enough already.
''Why so curious?'' She questions with a bit of interest.
''No…No reason. I…I just um…'' I hate it when I always dig myself into a trench like this, it's nearly impossible for me to climb myself back out of it unless something unexpected happens to draw the attention away…and you could say something unexpected happened this time…with Omega Girl grabbing me by the collar of my shirt and kissing me hard on the lips. I think I'm having a heart attack right now, I can't even move my arms, I'm still processing what's going on. She pulls back leaving me shocked beyond belief. ''What was that for?''
''What? Ain't I a good kisser?'' She askes sarcastically and gives me a wink.
''Well…n…'' I have to stop myself from answering that question. ''It's not that I already have a girlfriend!''
''Oh…should have told me five seconds ago. Oh well, at least you're loyal enough to her to mention it. Any other guy wouldn't say anything and go on!''
''I'm not any other guy, and after what happened with Triple Terror there I know that I'll be staying loyal!'' Although I doubt even in a crazy billion to one chance that I did do something bad to Rachael, she would don a mecha suit and come after me…hopefully.
At that moment, Omega Girl raises her Tonfa to my chest and looks me dead in the eye. ''You don't know those three, yet you know their team name?''
I honestly can't believe how bad I am at this. ''I'm going home! No more questions!''
''Fair enough stranger. Try not to be in the wrong place again.'' She gives me a wave before running off into the distance.
Okay, so all in the space of not even half a day. I've found a love rival, football rival, fought with Triple Terror against their ex, and then got kissed by Omega Girl…what else can happen I wonder? Oh crap yeah I still need to call the police for Screamer.
I've never been so glad to be home; hopefully I can make it up to the bathroom and clean myself up before Jenna notices. Although with the amount of bruises and dry blood I've got on me it's going to be hard. Manage to make it with no hiccups. Taking a while to wash myself I'm surprised Jenna hasn't come up to check on me, in fact it was too quiet in the house. Once I finished I checked around, she wasn't home? Then I noticed a small note on the fridge.
Thomas, dinner's in the fridge. Sorry had to run off early for date with Toby. Jenna xx
Why am I not surprised? I still haven't had a proper meeting with this Toby yet, so my trusting of him dating my sister was minimal at best. But Jenna has seemed happy these past few weeks, so I guess he's all right. But if he did ever do something to hurt her, Screamer's rampage will seem like a toddler's tantrum when compared to what I'll do to him. Right now though, my anger was now fixed towards Tristan and his moves on Rachael…if he does anything…
Wow I do have jealousy issues. Oh no, and I can only imagine what Rachael will say if she learned that I was kissed by Omega Girl, hey she started it. And I don't know if it's my mind playing tricks on me, but something about the way she acted was really familiar…I'm sure it is my mind just playing tricks on me…I've had a hectic day after all. And to think…it's only a Monday.
To Be Continued…
