Sky High 2: To Walk A Hero's Path
Layla received a knock on her door, well…..more of a bang really. She thanked Mother Nature her actual mother had a distress call and wouldn't be back until late tomorrow (otherwise the visitor would be been eaten up by mothers new experiments).
Layla walked to the banged on door and opened it to fins Warren standing outside looking like he had just been shot.
"Warren?" Layla asked unbelieving.
"God what are you doing out there! Come inside!" She ushered Warren in and grabbed a towel.
"What are you doing here War?" Layla said handing the towel to him.
"Raven…She…" Warren trailed off into a daze.
"Warren, you're wanted to the authorities. You and Raven..."
"She's going to get her father out of jail…"
"What?" Layla couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"She used me to steal the visibility cloak to free father." Warren said blankly. Layla noticed Warren wasn't himself.
Matter of fact Warren wasn't there at all. He was in a world where he and Raven were going to share and be together, and it was all burning down to the ground by black flames.
"Warren that's impossible. If Raven father gets out of jail, Raven would be in serious danger. I don't think Raven would want her father out."
"What?" Warren thought aloud and snapped out of his nightmare. Layla stood and went to a file cabinet. She pulled out a file and went back over to Warren and handed it to him.
"What's this?"
"A restraining order and protection file." Warren looked at Layla questionably. She motioned for him to open it.
The file listed a Aurora Flame. Warren flipped through the paper work, pictures files, lab files, and confidentially contracts.
"Aurora is Raven. When she was born, Black Flame gave her his powers so that when she grows, his powers will grow also."
"So as she grows the already strong power inside grows inside her."
"It'll only get stronger, making the power nearly invincible."
"Yeah so? I don't see a down side." Warren was being stubborn and letting his bad boy side take over and Layla could see it.
"When Raven's powers come to their peak, Black Flame will try to get them back."
"So? What's Ravens trouble?"
Ok it's not the time for stubbornness.
Layla whacked Warren upside the head.
"WHAT?"
"Warren, Raven's body uses her father's powers as a resource. Her body feeds on her powers in tomes of intense emotion. Her body can't survive without the power."
"So if Black Flame gets out…." Warren realized.
"He'll try to find Raven." Layla finished. Warren started to put the pieces together. But some were still missing. Raven said she was to free her father. But if she did, Raven would...
"If he finds Raven… he'll kill her..." Warren looked up at Layla.
"Why did she need the visibility cloak then?" Warren asked.
"Don't you pay attention in Mad Science?" Layla whacked Warren again.
"STOP IT!"
"NO!"
"WHY NOT!"
"CAN'T YOU PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER!"
"IF YOU WOULD STOP HITING ME MAYBE I COULD!" Layla sighed and pulled out her Mad Science book out.
"The visibility cloak is made of some type of moon soil that can be used for not only genetics to make the body invisible but for mind manipulation."
"Like brain wash….Oh my God." Warren started putting pieces together. The figure manipulated Raven and him to get the cloak (invisibility to bust out Black Flame), then turned Raven against him. The Raven at the park was the real Raven and he didn't believe her and ran away (giving Raven the biggest emotional break down in her life, a perfect jolt of energy for her powers, making them even stronger).
What had he done? He left Raven and now she became vulnerable to whoever's will. And he knew Raven couldn't die because of the power drainage.
Because Warren had already killed her.
"What have I done?" Warren put his head in his hands. He felt horrible and stupid. He didn't believe her and now….
"We have to help her." Warren said getting up and walking toward the door.
"Warren!" Layla called him. Warren turned and saw the hippie grab her coat and an umbrella.
"This is bigger then both of us, but not for six." Layla winked and Warren grinned. Maybe having friends wasn't so bad after all.
"Let's go!" Layla said and they ran to the Strongholds.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN? DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!
