Chapter 12-
*First Day of School- Two Months Later*
Nora laughed at the question Veronica asked.
"I don't *laugh* think that's how *deep breath, release* it works"
"You never kn~ow" Veronica smirked, "For all we know, we could all be dreaming and where we are from it could be a wasteland"
"Oh puh-lease" Nora rolled her eyes, "I'm sure we'd know if we were dreaming. Besides, it's not like I think this school will be-'"
*All students. We are having a lock down. This is not a drill. I repeat this is not a-*
A loud, ear-piercing 'BANG' rang through the PA and everyone began panicking. Nora and Veronica ran around everyone and Veronica was about to go around a corner when Nora grabbed her arm.
"What are you-"
"Sh!"
Nora pointed to an air vent above the kids' heads. Veronica lifted Nora up, Nora opened it and climbed in before pulling her friend up. Veronica put the vent back in place and the two moved away (not too far) from it before letting out slow, quiet breaths.
*Hello Rio Grande High. You have two options. Either tell me who Blue Beetle is or Die. I will give you three minutes to think about it*
Nora took out her phone and began typing.
"What are you doing?" the other girl asked quietly.
"Telling Jaime, we're fine"
"Isn't he sick?"
(AN: No hero stuff. He's actually sick because of one of Klarion's spells)
Nora frowned, "of course, but he gets worried and this is probably all over the news by now"
"Alright"
Nora sent the message. A small vibrate responded and she read the text.
Him: Are you sure?
Nora: Positive
Him: You'll get killed
Nora: If I don't than EVERYONE will be killed or Blue's ID will be revealed. 'Sides I got back up.
Him: Nora. Please don't
Nora: Sorry, I hate listening to orders
Nora handed her blue phone to Veronica before opening the air vent and jumping out of it.
"NORA!" Veronica gasped but Nora ignored her and ran.
She slowed to a stop at the Main Office and knocked on the door. It opened to reveal to a bulky male with a large gun.
Nora sealed herself, "I know who Blue Beetle is"
