Chapter 13-

Nora and the leader of the group stared at each other.

"Well, who's Blue Beetle?"

Nora glanced around the room where three of the terrorists stood. She was trying to figure out a random name to give them but didn't want to give them an already existing name by accident.

"Well?"

"Blue Beetle is-"

Nora got cut off when the door got torn off its hinges and a bigger, blacker Blue Beetle stalked in.

The terrorists gasped, Nora stared.

"This Training Facility is under Reach protection" he growled, "if you don't leave now I will kill you all."

The leader glared and (after a lot of threats) his team left.

Nora smiled at the big Beetle, "thanks for the backup"

The male glared at her, "what, exactly, were you thinking?!"

Nora flinched, "I-I didn't want anyone to get hurt so I-"

"Almost Got Yourself Killed!" he yelled.

The two didn't notice the students and police (and press who were filming this live) watching.

Nora shrugged, "I had it under control"

"How Exactly?! You Can't Just Go Up To Terrorists And LIE TO THEM! THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT YOU WERE LYING AND KILLED YOU!"

"ONE LIFE IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THOUSANDS!"

"SO, YOU DECIDED TO LIE! WHAT WOULD THAT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED?!"

"IT WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE POLICE MORE TIME TO COME UP WITH A PLAN!"

"THAT ISN'T YOUR CALL TO MAKE!"

Nora glared at him as a low growl rumbled her chest.

"NO ONE WAS DOING ANYTHING!"

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!"

"THERE WAS TEN SECONDS LEFT BEFORE EVERYONE DIED! SO, IT MEANT EVERYTHING!"

"YOUR DEATH IS NOT OPTIONAL!"

"EVERYONES DEATH IS "NOT OPTIONAL"!"

The two glared heatedly at each other, both growling and breathing heavily, daring the other to blink.

"If I had to do it again I would" Nora growled lowly before muttering (barely audibly), "I'm not losing anyone else"

The 15-year-old stalked pasted him and everyone else. Not allowing anyone to comment or ask questions.
