Legend of z: memories
the next morning
As Adrian woke up full of energy and real happiness he got dressed and made his way to the kitchen to make breakfast with what look to be a natural smile. he felt relief knowing that he doesn't need to force himself to smile and fool everyone. As he got to the living room he saw everyone still sleeping the sight of Goten's foot against Bolin's face while the two were snoring made him laugh "Well someone sound's happy." said Videl waking up.
"And good morning to you too Videl."
Videl smiled and she got up and stretched her arm's after waking up. Adrian still had his smile on his face and went into the kitchen, got a bowl and filled it pancake batter that turned on the oven. Videl then walked over to the kitchen "(yawn) So, anyway, why are you up so early? it's like 6 in the morning."
"I don't know." Adrian said with what seemed like happiness and energy.
"Where's your mom?"
"She's still asleep. Sorry if i woke you up."
"It's alright." Videl looked at the pan and what Adrian was making. the smell of fresh pancakes caught her nose's attention "Your making pancakes?"
"Yeah. would you like some?"
Videl smiled "Sure."
The two noticed Bolin and Goten's snoring had stopped, they turned their head's to find Goten and Bolin awake "(yawn) Good morning." said Bolin.
A while after everyone woke up they were all at the table enjoying Adrian's tasty pancake's "Wow. Adrian these are really good you can really cook." Korra said eating another pancake.
"Thanks. i'm just surprised the 4 of you never had pancakes before." Adrian said with amusement in his voice.
"WOW. these are so Good." Bolin said Happily then consumed another pancake.
Asami had an equal happy look on her face eating the pancakes after she swallowed her food she turned towards Adrian "Hay, Adrian after we're done eating. can we talk to you about something?"
"Sure."
After everyone had finished their breakfast they sat down together in the living room "Are you feeling better after yesterday?" asked Korra.
"Yeah." Adrian says with a smile "It feel's good to finally get that off my chest after keeping it bottled up for so long."
Seeing the smile and relief he had Bolin and Goten came to Adrian and both place a hand on his shoulders making him sob "Guys, everyone thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I'm so sorry for how I've been acting since we got here."
Asami rose up from her chair and placed a hand on Adrian's hand "It's Ok Adrian."
Adrian shook his head "No it's not OK, i acted like a total jerk and all you guys ever did was try to be my friends!" his head tilted down "I'm sorry."
everyone looked at Adrian and smiled "Adrian, listen." said Korra "we know, we can't understand the feelings of someone who's been treated like an outcast, but we want to understand."
Adrian's head rose up with tears in his eyes "Really?"
Everyone nodded. Adrian began sobbing Bolin and Goten were both their to offer support only to have Adrian bring them in for a hug. after he finished, Adrian began thinking and came to understand what really friendship is like. people who accept you for who you really are. Not who you think they'ed prefer. After realizing Adrian came to a conclusion he took a deep breath and exhaled "Ok i'm gonna do it!" he said with a determined look on his face which confused everyone "I'm going to tell Isaac, Brianna, Courtney and Chris the truth!"
Everyone looked in awe "If i'm going to be real friends with them then i need to come clean!" Adrian's determined look made everyone one smile back "Attaboy!" said Korra.
Adrian smiled and everyone gave him encouragement. after that finished breakfast Adrian went out the door to school "Ok, wish me luck." Adrian said giving the peace sign. Bolin gave Adrian a thumbs up while Goten raised his fist in the air. after that Adrian took off but keep looking back at the others and accidentally ran into the street light.
"oooo" everyone said. Adrian gave a soft grone and stood up with his hand to the side of his face "Just walk it off. just walk it off." said Bolin.
"yeah and watch where your going!" Videl shouted.
Adrian gave his peace sign again and waved goodbye and took of with his eyes focusing on the front of him. "Ok." Adrian said smiling "with my eyes forward i'm Off."
And like that Adrian was out of sight. Later as the day seem to move slowly, after the rest of Adrian's family woke up they all told the team's about how Adrian acted before he realized he had powers "ha, ha, ha, really!" Bolin said full of laughter. Serena nodded "Yes, Adrian use to love acting like a superhero. he use to call himself "Adrian the mighty"."
"Did he have any sidekick's!" Gohan asked amused.
"only his imaginary friend "Ricky the striker."."
As everyone enjoyed hearing about Adrian's past childhood Serena smiled At the teams happy to see her son's wonderful friends. Then she started tearing up "huh, mis. Serena Are you ok?" asked Goten.
"i'm fine, it's just... i'm so happy my son has made such wonderful friends." she then wiped away her tear "I overheard the conversation all of you and Adrian had Thank you all so much." after that Serena began to sob.
"It's alright." said Korra. "Adrian just needed to know that he actually can make friends if he want's to."
Serena then looked up and got korra in a hug After korra then Bolin and Goten and everyone else.

Adrian smiled and got ready to talk But before he could say anything a jerk called out "Well, Well, Well, look who it is." said Mark.
"Ready pick up where we left off yesterday freak!?"
Adrian then turned around "Look i'm kind of in the middle of something right now can this wait."
"Sorry, but you've had this coming for a long time." as Mark grabbed Adrian by the shirt and lifted up a fist Isaac And Chris got ready to fight "No!" said Adrian "i've got this."
Mark laughed "All you got is this fist coming at you." as Mark let loose his punch Adrian grabbed his fist then flicked Mark on the nose "Ok, seriously what is your problem with me Mark?"
"Yeah. What did he ever do to you?" Brianna Asked angerly.
Mark growled then left only to bump into a man holding a knife. the prisoner man grabbed Mark and held him hostage "All right brats don't move or this one get's it!" he said with the knife to marks throat.

Back at the school
The criminal went in the room where Adrian was hiding in "come out, come out where you are brat!" he says menacingly "Be a good boy. i might even let you live."
A rustle noise came from the closet door open. he smiled evilly and slowly approached the closet. when he got to the door he twisted the handle and opened it only to say 'huh' when he saw nothing their "What?" he said confused.

"We force our way in." said Korra."I think we're gonna cause a bigger commotion then the criminal in the school." said Asami.
"Well you got any other ideas." Videl elbowed Gohan with a raised eyebrow which made Gohan smiled.
Inside the school
Adrian managed to put some distance between him and the criminal, but was surprised to fine everybody else out in the open "What are you guys doing out here?" Adrian asked tensely.

"End out the rode sweetie." the criminal said menacingly.
As he was about to slash at Brianna, Korra and the teams arrived at the other side "Adrian!" said Korra.
"Korra!"
"Oh great more nuisances!" the criminal said annoyed.
Brianna took the chance the escape but the criminal tried to grab her only to be stopped by Adrian "(growl) your really getting on my last nerve brat!"
"That make's two of us."
the criminal then slashed at Adrian, just as he got closer Bolin and Goten came to help their friend. Bolin punched his head as Goten kick his back. suddenly teaches and students came to see the noise and found Adrian, Goten and Bolin ganging up on the criminal. As both Bolin and Goten jumped on his back pulling his hair and biting him the criminal got angry enough to slam Bolin and Goten hard enough against a wall causing them to let go "You two are an even bigger pain the that freak is." As the criminal brought up his knife he had an rage filled look in his eyes "Light out brat's!"
Adrian gasped then got angry and clinched his fist "Stay. Away. From my friends." Adrian the let loose and airbending blast strong enough the knock the man forward against the door. the criminal looked at Adrian the horror "y-you." he shuddered "You really are a freak."
Adrian pulled back another fist "I'm not a FREAK!" Adrian let loose one more air blast this time stronger to blast the man out the door and in front of the police. The public gasped as the police pulled there guns.
Adrian the ran to Goten and Bolin "Are you two all right?" he asked concerned.
"Adrian... that was awesome." Bolin said enthusiastically.
"Really?"
"Yeah!" Goten said enthusiastically.
As Adrian Bolin and Goten cheered Adrian saw the teachers and students in shock. he approached them "Is-is everyone all right?"
"Stay away from us." a student called out.
Adrian took a step back "You think that criminal is the least of our problems."
"Yeah. must of been here cus' of you."
As the students yelled and spook in harsh words Adrian took another step back "You don't belong here!"
"Get out of our school you monster!"
"You should be the one going to jail!"
"just leave us alone you freak!
suddenly a voice called out and the crowd went silent "He's not a freak!" the voice as Courtney's, she Isaac, Brianna and Chris all ran to Adrian's side "Adrian's a really awesome parson." said Chris.
"Yeah, he was just trying to help us!" said Isaac.
"None of you have the right to say all those awful things about him. especially after risking his neck to save us!" said Brianna.
Adrian look shocked as did the students and teachers Bolin, Goten and the other's came to Adrian's side as well "Adrian didn't have to do this you know. but he did it to protect all of you!" said Bolin.
"Yeah! he did what he want to use his powers in front of all of you, but he did it cus he didn't want anyone to get hurt!" said Goten.
"None of you have the right to label him as a criminal or a freak cause he's none of those things!" said Asami.
"Adrian's a kind person not a freak none of you have the right to treat him like it!" said Videl.
"What is wrong with all of you? Your all just as bad as the criminal that wanted to hurt or more likely kill all of you!" said Korra.
"If all of you wan to know what a really freak is then take a look in the mirror!" said Mako.
"He could've died. the vary least all of you can do is say thank you!" said Gohan.
As all the teachers took in what just happened and the students shock from hearing what the teams said, all of them took in everything wide eyed and fell silent for a few moments until one person stepped forward "Adrian." the person was Mark "I wanna say something to you."
Bolin and Goten stood in front of Adrian defensively "It's ok." Bolin and Goten looked at Adrian then let Adrian walk towards "Yeah?" he asked hesitantly.
Mark raise his hand in a treating manner causing all of Adrian's to get ready to come to Adrian's save but what happened next took everyone by surprise "i'm sorry." everyone even the teams and Adrian's friends looked and opened their mouths in shock. Adrian then looked at Mark's hand and back to him to take in what was happening but after a few seconds Adrian gripped Mark's hand after that the one other student said "i'm sorry." then another, soon after, all the other student's were apologizing for the awful way they treated Adrian.
After a few apologizes and few minutes later the police came into the school to see if all the student and teachers were ok after the whole ordeal "hay, Mark." said Adrian.
"Why'ed you pick on me in the first place? do you hate me or something?" Mark shook his head no "Honestly. i was jealous." the respond was enough to make Adrian's mouth hang open.
"Jealous?!"
"Yeah. believe it or not i've wanted superpowers since i was a kid. so when i saw you with you powers i guess is was pretty upset that what i wanted someone else had."
"Is that it?"
"No i was a little scared to."
"Scared?"
Mark to a breath in "look the day you came to school you just appeared out of nowhere. so i assumed you wanted to hurt someone."
"Mark i would never in a million years ever hurt someone."
"It true. Adrian's a good person." said Goten.
Adrian took a breath in the breathed out "Mark." he said while extending his hand "Can we start over?"
Mark then smiled then grepped Adrian's. then the two shook hands. After that Mark left then Korra, Mako, Bolin, Asami, Gohan, Videl and Goten came to embrace Adrian with a group hug and cheers After that Adrian looked at Courtney, Brianna, Chris and Isaac and approached them "Hay." he said shyly.
"Hay." said Courtney
"So about that thing i wanted to tell you guys earlier."
"You have powers." said Chris.
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you tell us." said Brianna.
"I guess i was scared that you guys would treat me the same way."
"Come on Adrian. you should know us better then that." said Isaac.
Adrian then looked down it was only after he felt a hand on his shoulder that got his attestation "Ok, i think we need to start over too." said Courtney.
Adrian looked at them then smiled "Yeah!" he said full of happiness.
The teams look at how happy Adrian was talking with his real friends. "just know one thing Adrian." said Courtney.
"What?"
"that it doesn't matter to us that you have powers we're your friends."
Adrian then smiled knowing the he really has true friends.
