Chapter 7

"Hey Gohan do I have to wear these weights to school?" Videl complained. She had on wristbands that weighed 10lbs, a shirt that weighed 10lbs, and both of her shoes each weighed 10lbs so altogether she had 40lbs.

"Yes you do. It's apart of your training and every week or so I'll take them up to my friend and he'll add 5 more pounds." Gohan said as he and Videl sat down to eat his breakfast that his mom made them. Once they finished they quickly thanked Chichi for the meal before heading out.

"Do you really have to go Gohan?" Goten pouted watching his older brother and Videl walk out the door. Gohan turned around and walked up to his little brother and squatted down to his level.

"Goten we go through this every morning. Yes I really have to go. I'll be back later squirt." Gohan said with a smile as he ruffled his little brother's hair.

"You promise?" Goten asked looking up at his older brother rubbing his eyes so that tears would escape from his eyes.

"I promise bud." Gohan said smiling.

"Alight! Woohoo!" Goten said jumping up and down. Gohan and Videl walked out the front door.

"You're a really good older brother." She said as she looked towards Gohan. This caused him to blush.

"Haha well you know he was so use to me being home everyday with mom. Now that I go to school he doesn't see me as often as he would like so yeah." Gohan said looking down as he scratched his cheek.

"Well are you ready Gohan?" Videl asked looking up at with with a smirk causing the Demi-Saiyan to look up with a smile.

"I was born ready." Gohan said smiling as he looked down at her. It had been a few days since he had gotten her the weighted clothes and already she could move in them with ease. 'She's getting stronger. Way stronger than her dad.' he thought as he smirked at himself inwardly. They both took off flying to school.

"How about a race?" Videl asked with a cocky grin.

"You sure you want to? I mean I'd hate to leave you in the dust." Gohan said smirking.

"Please I could fly circles around you all day and still be faster." Videl challenged holding back a smile.

"You asked for it." Gohan said laughing slightly. "On the count of three. One, two, thr-" Just then Videl's watch beeped she quickly pressed the button only to see the chief of police was coughing with smoke around him.

"He-hello? Videl? It's the chief, listen we need your help! There's been a poisonous gas that was let into the Satan bank building. I have no doubt it was the shark gang and it looks like they have hostages. They're all wearing gas masks." Said the chief.

"Right I'll be right there chief!" Videl said.

"Oh and Videl when you get here be careful of the fumse too much exposure could be lethal." The chief said seriously.

"Right understood I'm on my way." Videl said.

"I'm coming with you." Gohan said as he pressed a button his watch transforming himself into the Great Saiyaman.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." She said smiling as they both flew quickly to the bank. When they got there the chief along with the other policemen were standing a few feet safely away from the bank behind their cop cars. They flew and landed near the Chief's car.

"Oh my goodness Videl! You flew! How!?" The chief said in awe. An animated sweat droplet fell off of Videl and Gohan's face as they both laughed nervously.

"Well S-saiyaman taught me." She said punching Gohan lightly on his shoulder. "Isn't that right Saiyaman."

"Oh yeah that's right!" Gohan nervously said in his Saiyaman voice.

"Oh well thank goodness you and Saiyaman are here we could use all the help we can get. The shark gang's leader called in and said they were going to hold onto the hostages in exchange for them to escape." The chief explained as he handed both Videl and Gohan gas masks.

"No problem chief and thanks. We'll take it from here. Come on Saiyaman." Videl said as she put her gas mask on.

"Right." Gohan said as he put his on as well. They both made their way into the bank. When they got to the entrance it was thick and cloudy due to the amount of poison gas in the air. Inside of the bank was huge there was staircase after staircase and at the rate they were going they wouldn't find the hostages in time.

"I think we should split up we'll cover more ground that way." Videl said as she looked at Gohan.

"You sure that's a good idea? I mean there is a thick cloud of poison." Gohan said worriedly as he looked down at her. 'I don't want to leave her on her own. I know she's gotten stronger but I have a bad feeling.' he thought.

"Do we even have a choice at this point? This place is huge. It'll be okay Gohan I'll be fine." Videl said with a reassuring smile.

"Well okay then." Gohan sighed in defeat.

"Great. You cover the bottom half of the building and I'll cover the top." Videl said.

"Just be careful." Said Gohan shaking his head.

"I will." She said as she took off up a flight of stairs. She ran up six flights of stairs and stopped when she heard screaming. She entered the hall where the creaming came from only to find the hostages where all tied up on their knees with gas masks on. There were only eight members of the shark gang and they were all armed with guns. 'Shit.' she thought. Their leader was a short and stubby fat man who always kept a cigar in his mouth. Videl could recognize him from anywhere. His face was all over the news and wanted posters up in the police station. They had been trying to catch him for months.

"So which one of you knows how to open the safe?" Said the leader as he walked up and down the line of hostages pointing his gun with a cigar in his mouth. No one spoke up. "Oh so that's how it's gonna be huh? Well alright then take this!" he started firing gun shots in the ceiling causing the hostages to scream. "I won't ask again."

"It's me." A woman said. "I know how to open it."

"Well, well alright miss come with me then. The rest of you lug heads stay up here and watch the rest of the hostages." Said the leader of the shark gang as he took the woman down the opposite end of the hall.

"Yes sir!" They all said. Videl looked at the goons from around the corner where she stood and analyzed her options. She would outnumbered she couldn't rush into the fight without backup. She needed Gohan.

'Great now I have to run all the way down stairs and get his lug head up here.' Videl mentally sighed when suddenly a gust of wind blew around her causing her to lose her balance slightly. She backed up only to feel someone's hands on her shoulders stopping her fall. She looked up only to see Gohan as if he'd heard her every thought. "G-gohan!" She said smiling as she turned around.

"Hey Vi." Gohan said smiling.

"I"m glad you made it up here. We have a situation. All of the gang members are armed pointing guns at the hostages. I can't take them out on my own I need your help." Videl said looking at him.

"Alright then shall we my lady?" Gohan said jokingly with a smirk.

"Yes we shall." Videl said as they both took out the goons. Gohan took out five of them disarming and knocking them all in a matter of seconds. Videl roundhouse kicked one of them knocking him out while the other took her by surprise and grabbed her from behind putting her in an arm lock. "Damn you!" she said.

"Hold on Videl!" Gohan said as he tried to go near her and the goon.

"Not so fast mate! Let me go and I'll give her back to you in one piece." The gang member said with a smirk.

"Fine just don't hurt her." growled Gohan as he glared at the man.

"Alright no funny business or else." The goon said as he let Videl go but not before he took out a pocket knife and cut open her mask. With her mask falling on the floor, Videl gasped holding her breath as she turned around to punch the man square in his face knocking him unconscious.

"Videl are you okay?!" Gohan shouted as he ran to her.

"I'm fine it's just a little bit hard to breathe right now but don't worry about me. Right now we need to be more focussed on finding the leader of the shark gang." Videl said as she tried not to wheeze.

"But Vi-" Gohan tried.

"Damnit Gohan there's no time. Just hurry and go get the chief and back up in here. You get these hostages out of here," Videl said not wasting anymore time rushing down the hall leaving Gohan with the hostages. As she ran down the hall she heard a loud gunshot. 'Damn I have to hurry' she thought wheezing as she ran faster. When she got to the safe it was too late the gang leader had killed the woman he took with him to open up the safe. She stumbled slightly as she tried to look up ahead the poison was working its way into her system and it was causing her to breathe heavily.

"Well well look what we have here." The gang leader smirked. "The World Champs daughter has succumb to my poison." Laughing as he stepped into the safe taking money out of it.

"I won't let you get away!" Videl panted as she inched closer to the safe trying to regain her balance. Her vision was starting to blur but she was still determined to fight. She came up behind the gang leader when he wasn't looking and tried to throw a punch. Unfortunately she wasn't at her full strength so her punch didn't really have much affect. The leader turned around and pushed her to the ground.

"You annoying little brat!" He shouted pulling out his gun. "This should finish you off." Cocking the gun back. Videl watched panting on the floor. She laid there unable to move. She looked at the gang leader as he cocked his gun back. Her life flashed right before her eyes. She started thinking about her mother and how much she missed her. She thought about Gohan and his little brother Goten. She was truly scared that this would be the end of her.

'Gohan…' Videl thought as she closed her eyes hearing a gunshot. Suddenly a gust of wind hit her in her face causing her to tighten her eyes. She could feel her body go numb from the poison. She could feel herself slipping away slowly.

"Videl! Are you alright!?" A voice shouted but she was too numb to answer. She felt someone pick her up as she fell unconscious. When she awoke her body was aching. She tried to lift her arm up but she winced in pain. The poison really took a toll on her body. She could breathe but barely. Her eyelids felt heavy as she steadily opened them.

'Am I dead yet?' She mentally asked as her eyes tried to focus but all she saw was white blurry light.

"No silly." A familiar voice laughed.

'That's odd that voice sounded just like Gohan.' she thought squinting her eyes.

"That's because it is me Vi," Gohan said. Videl's eyes finally focused and saw that he was sitting in a chair that was close to her bed. She looked around and saw that she was in the hospital. She frowned. She hated hospitals. It reminded her of her mom when she got sick. Videl looked down as tears began to form in her eyes. Gohan noticed the look on her face. "What's wrong? Are you in any pain?" he asked worriedly.

"No," She replied trying not to look in his eyes.

"Don't lie to me Vi," Gohan said seriously.

"It's nothing I'm fine," she said weakly but Gohan could tell that something was wrong.

"Come on don't give me that. Something's up you know you can tell me anything," Gohan urged as he gently touched her hand rubbing circles in it. Videl frowned and sniffled.

"Well it's just that I don't really like hospitals. It reminds me of when my mom got sick," Videl said sadly trying to hold back her tears. Gohan looked at her sadly understanding.

"Oh well I'm sorry for bringing you here. It's just that you fell unconscious from all the poison and I had to get you here fast," Gohan said frowning.

"It's fine. Don't worry really," Videl said. "What happened after I went unconscious?" She asked.

"Oh well after I helped the chief get the hostages out I went back for you and I came back just in time because that Bastard was about to shoot you. I knocked him out," Gohan explained growling slightly. Videl was relieved but then she remembered hearing a gunshot before she passed out.

"So how did you stop the bullet?" She asked curiously.

"Well I sorta kinda didn't." Gohan said nervously looking down.

"What do you mean?"

"Well it sorta hit me-" Gohan tried to explain but Videl cut him off.

"It hit you!? Shouldn't you be in a hospital bed too then!?" Videl said in shock, her eyes wide with worry.

"Well you see it didn't the bullet hit me but it bounced off," he continued.

"Oh," is all she said. They both sat in silence for a few minutes until she spoke again. "So you're bullet proof then?" She asked looking at him.

"Yeah," Gohan said.

"So you're what some kind of superman or something?" Videl asking raising her brow.

"Or something," the Demi Saiyan mumbled. 'she probably thinks I'm a freak right now.' He thought.

"No I don't," Videl said and paused. "How are you able to talk without moving your lips? Is that another thing you can do cause you've been doing it a lot?" she asked.

"You mean you heard what I was thinking?" Gohan asked in shock. 'Let me try something. Videl? Can you hear me?' He thought looking at her.

"Yes of course I can- Woah that's crazy!" Videl said as she realized she could hear his thoughts. "Let me try," She said. 'Gohan you're such a lug head," she thought as she laughed at the thought.

"Hey!" He shouted pretending to be offended. "So I'm a lug head huh?" Videl laughed. "Just wait until you get better Vi. If you thought training was hard before just wait until you get better," he smirked causing her to stop laughing. They both talk until a nurse comes in with her clipboard. She was fairly pretty with blonde hair that stopped at her shoulders.

"Hello how are you today Ms. Satan?" The nurse smiled and then gave Gohan a flirtatious look. Videl noticed the way the nurse looked at him and didn't like it. She seemed to be young and in her early 20s. Much too old her him.

"I've had better days," the raven haired beauty said sarcastically. Videl and Gohan watched the nurse as she checked Videl's IV. "How long have I been here?" She asked as the nurse took out a clipboard to write some notes on it.

"2 days," The nurse answered as she continued her notes not bothering to look at the girl. She walked over to Gohan and purposely dropped her clipboard in front of him. She bent down to pick it up in hopes that he would stare at her ass. Unfortunately he didn't seem to notice because he had been focused on Videl the whole time. The nurse looked up and saw that he wasn't looking. Seeing this made her frown.

"Wow really? Your mom is probably gonna kill us for missing school," Videl said as she ignored the nurse, disgusted by her unprofessional behavior.

"Nah it's cool mom already knows and she's been pretty worried about you." Gohan said with a small frown.

"Hmf! Well the doctor should be in shortly," the nurse said upset that she was currently being ignored by Gohan she began to walk out of the door.

"Okay thanks," Videl said thankful that she left. "Can you believe that my nurse was trying to hit on you?"

"She was?" Gohan asked raising a brow. He hadn't noticed it at all.

"You mean you really didn't notice?" Videl asked. " She literally bent over in front of you showing her ass and everything."

"I guess I was just too busy looking at you to notice," Gohan said scratching the back of his head.

"You were looking at me?" Videl asked.

"Yeah I mean how could I not. You're beautiful," He said without thinking immediately blushing afterwards.

"Y-you think I'm beautiful?" Videl asked blushing.

"Yeah," Gohan said with a smile. They both talked for what seemed like hours when a someone knocked on the door. "Oh that must be the doctor," Gohan said as he got up from his chair to open the door. He opened up the door only to see Hercule's angry face.

**Uh oh! Dum Dum Dum Dum!**
