(A/N): Ok, now it's a four-way tie on the poll. Could someone – who hasn't voted – please break it? It's between "One Remains", "Gentlemen Escorts", "Gang War", and "Second Chance". Please! The anticipation is killing me!
"What?!" The wolf roared as Flash took the boy's hand and walked out of the store. "Take them! They were fucking useless!" The wolf yelled as Jeff's eyes turned a deep purple. He lifted the wolf in the air and slammed him into the wall knocking him unconscious. Flash looked at him in shock as Jeff's eyes returned to normal.
"Sorry. He was annoying me." Jeff said as he stepped out of the store.
"Try spending all the time with him." The boy muttered as Flash and Jeff looked down at him.
"Are you sure about this?" Jeff asked apprehensively as Flash nodded.
"These kids need a better home. I'm going to provide it. By the way what are your names?" Flash asked looking at the girl he was holding.
"I'm Vanessa." She said shyly looking down as smiled at her.
"But call her Nessa." The boy spoke as Flash looked down at him. "I'm Aiden." He said as he smiled up at Flash.
"Well, I'm Flash Storm and I guess I'm going to be your…Dad." Flash said as both of them looked at him. "But you guys don't have to call me Dad! You can call me Flash! I'm cool with Flash." He said quickly as Jeff shook his head.
"Who are you?" Nessa asked looking at Jeff from Flash's shoulders.
"I'm Jeff. I'm Flash's friend." Jeff said as Nessa smiled at him.
"Can you do that thing you did to Richard again?" Aiden said as Flash and Jeff looked at him confused. "Richard was the guy that was our 'Dad'." Aiden said with air quotes as they continued to walk down the streets of New York.
"Was he not your Dad?" Jeff asked as Aiden shook his head.
"He was my uncle and Nessa's real Dad's friend. My Mom died when I was a baby and I don't know who my Dad is. Nessa's Dad is in jail because he killed her Mom. He was the only one there to take care of us or attempt too." Aiden said as Jeff and Flash listened to their sad story.
"How old are you guys?" Flash asked as Nessa rested her head on Flash's shoulder.
"I'm eleven Nessa is ten. She'll turn eleven on Christmas." Aiden said as Nessa smiled softly.
"Well, you're just one Christmas miracle." Flash said as Nessa shied away from his face.
"She's shy. She doesn't hate you." Aiden said as Flash smiled softly. "How old are you?" Aiden asked curiously as Flash let out a nervous laugh.
"Eighteen." He said as Aiden looked at Jeff.
"Twenty." Jeff said as Aiden nodded. Jeff smiled a bit to himself before his eyes turned a light purple. He guided Aiden off the ground and into the air and in front of himself. "You wanted me to do it again." Jeff said as Aiden smiled.
"Do you have powers Flash?" Nessa asked shyly as she looked up at Flash.
"Yup." He said as he held out his hand. Electricity started to surge around his hand as he formed a heart in the air. Nessa watch with fascination as Flash let the electric heart fade into the air. "I can super fast too." Flash said as she smiled.
"I have a power too." She said as Flash looked down at her confused.
"Really?" He asked as she nodded shyly.
"I do too!" Aiden said as Jeff floated him over to Flash.
"What can you guys do?" Flash asked as Aiden landed on the ground with a bounce.
"I can become other people." He said as Flash looked down at him.
"Like shape-shift?" Flash asked as Aiden shook his head. He closed his eyes as he stood still. His eyes popped open a bright white-blue color as a white transparent object started to come out of his body. It shot past Flash and Nessa and into Jeff. Jeff held his head as he closed her eyes tightly. He opened them slowly before smiling brightly.
"See. Now I'm Jeff." Aiden said as he walked around. "I can even use his powers." He said as his eyes turned a gray color. Suddenly the stars to shift around as a comet shot through the night sky. Aiden's spectral form flew out of Jeff's body and back to his own body.
"Dude! I didn't know you can control stars!" Flash said as Jeff shrugged his shoulders. "You better not use that power to cause mischief." Flash warned as he looked at Aiden.
"I'll find my ways to have fun." Aiden said as Flash shook his head.
"What about you?" Flash asked as he looked at Nessa in his arms. She looked up at him as her eyes faded into a purplish-pink color. Suddenly Flash looked around to see he was a white beach with clear blue waters and as quick as a snap he was drawn back to the cold streets of New York. "That's amazing." He said as she smiled at him. Suddenly Flash's phone started to ring as he reached into his pocket to take it out.
"Please tell me my prediction is wrong." He heard Shawn say as he answered his phone.
"What was your prediction?" Flash asked as he neared the college.
"You're adopting kids?!" Shawn said as Flash smiled.
"Yep." Flash said as he heard shuffling through the phone.
"Flash Douglas Storm! You are only eighteen! You can't take care of kids!" He heard Ivy yell as Flash and Jeff made their way to the apartments.
"You didn't see it Ivy. They can't live like they were living." Flash said as Aiden looked up at him.
"Flash…this is a huge responsibility. Kids are not pets you just feed and leave. They need constant attention. They need to go to a school, have clothes, be fed-"Flash cut off Ivy as he enter their apartment building.
"I know what I'm doing." Flash said as he knocked on a door. Ivy ripped it open her eyes immediately falling on Aiden. "Ivy this is Aiden and Nessa. Guys, this is my girlfriend." Flash said as Aiden looked at Ivy.
"Hi." Ivy said as Aiden walked up to her and hugged her. Ivy was taken back as she slowly placed her arms around him.
"Does this mean you're going to be my Mom?" Aiden asked as Ivy looked at him. Ivy looked at Nessa then Flash as he smiled at her encouragingly.
"Only if you want me too." Ivy said as Aiden hugged her again.
"This is the stupidest yet smartest thing you've ever done." Shawn said as Flash rolled his eyes. Suddenly Shawn's eyes widened and blanked as he received a vision. He gasped as he grabbed his coat and started running down the hall.
"What's wrong?" Flash yelled as Shawn turned towards the stairs.
"I need to find Donovan or Julian or anyone of them from that group." Shawn said as he ran down the stairs. He pulled out his phone and started dialing Donovan's number.
"Hey it's Donovan Joh-"Shawn hung up when he heard his voicemail. He dialed Julian's number praying to God he would answer.
"Hello?" Shawn sighed with relief as he ran out of the building and into the bitter cold.
"Julian! Listen I had a vision…" He trailed off when he heard something.
"Ha! Gotcha ya! Leave me a mess-"Shawn cursed as he hung up.
"Stupid Julian!" He yelled as he dialed Conner's number, but it went straight to voicemail. "Is everybody deliberating ignoring me?" He said as he dialed Renegade's number.
"Hello?" Renegade's voice sounded as Shawn sighed in relief.
"Renegade! Where are you, Donovan, and/or Julian?" He asked as he ran onto campus.
"Um…I'm with Julian, but I think Donovan's in class. Why?" Renegade asked as Shawn ran towards the Forensics building.
"I had a vision. Kim…she's going to get hurt." Shawn said as he busted into the building.
"What? By who?" Renegade asked alarmed as Shawn sighed.
"I tell you later. I have to get Donovan!" He said hanging up his phone and he busted into the computer lab.
"Is there something you need young man?" The professor asked as Shawn panted.
"Donovan Johnson." He breathed as Donovan stood up.
"Shawn?" He asked confused as Shawn started pointing behind himself.
"Come with me." He said as Donovan looked at him confused.
"Why?" Donovan asked as the professor sighed impatiently.
"Kim." He said as Donovan grabbed his stuff and walked out of the classroom.
"What about Kim?" Donovan asked as Shawn took a deep breath.
"I had a vision. Mason…he's going to beat her and then rape her." He said as Donovan froze. He threw his stuff on the ground as he looked at Shawn one more time.
"Where?" He asked as Shawn backed away.
"Her place." Shawn said as Donovan took off. He blazed through the campus running faster then he ever had. He jumped over cars and pushed people out of his way. Mason and Kim were sitting in her room as she studied. Mason scooted over and started kissing her neck.
"Mason stop." Kim said as she pushed him to the side.
"C'mon baby." He whispered into her ear as she pushed him back.
"Mason! I have a huge test tomorrow! I need to study." She said as Mason glared at her.
"It won't take too long." He said as Kim shocked him off. Mason growled and knocked her onto the floor. He shoved her into the wall as Kim kicked him in the gut. She got up and started to run to her door, but Mason grabbed her and slammed her into the wall. He punched her in the face and bit her hand when she tried to push him away. He punched in the stomach as she doubled over.
"Please. Stop." She said in pain as he pulled her up and threw on the bed. Kim looked at him in fear as he crawled over her. He ripped off her shirt along with her bra roughly as she tried shocking him, but she was so scared that it came off weak.
"Not so tough now." Mason laughed as he kissed down to her breasts kneading them roughly with his hands. Suddenly the door was kicked open and Mason was flung off of her. Kim gasped when she saw Donovan tackling Mason to the ground. He punched him rapidly while dodging all his blows. Donovan smashed him into the wall and continued beating him.
"Bastard! How dare you hit her!?" Donovan yelled as he pushed him out to the balcony. He threw him against the tree roughly as he fell to the ground. "Consider this your guys' break-up." He growled as he glared down at Mason's misshapen form. He walked back into the room only to have Kim slam into him wrapping her arms around him. She started to sob against his chest as Donovan stroked her hair.
"He was g-going to-o-"Donovan cut her off by sshhing and resting his head atop of hers.
"Sshh. It's all right. You're going to be all right." Donovan said comfortingly as Kim looked up at him. She looked so fragile and hurt that it made Donovan even more protective of her.
"Please stay with me." She begged as Donovan rested her head back on his chest.
"Of course. I'll be here for you." Donovan said as Kim sniffled against his chest. He reached for her blanket wrapping it around her bare torso. He laid her in the bed covering her up in the extra blankets. He fluffed her pillow before moving over to her desk chair and sitting on it.
"Donovan. Please lie with me." Kim said as Donovan moved over to the side of her bed.
"Are you comfortable with that?" He asked as she nodded. He lifted up the blankets and got into her bed as she cuddled up against his chest. Donovan wrapped his arms around her waist as she sighed happily.
"It's always been you." She whispered sleepily into Donovan's chest as Donovan just held her tighter.
"What is Mom going to say?" Hydro muttered in his hand as he sat in Lorgo's and Flash's apartment.
"I think she'll be happy." Flash said as Nessa slept with her head in his lap. Aiden was on the couch with the top half of his body hanging off the couch.
"Fine, why don't we just call her up?" Hydro asked as Flash shrugged his shoulders. Hydro pressed his speed dial and waited until Midnight picked up.
"Hydro! How is my son?" Midnight answered as Hydro rolled his eyes.
"Well, this son is fine, but your other son just adopted a son and daughter of his own." Hydro said as Flash looked at him expectantly.
"OH MY GOD!! Are they cute? How old are they? Does Ivy know? Static! Static! Guess what our son did?" Midnight yelled as Hydro pulled the phone away from his ear.
"Told you." Flash said with a smile as Hydro rolled his eyes. Suddenly Flash's phone started to ring the caller ID flashing, "Dad". "Hey Dad." Flash said as he held the phone to his ear.
"Flash Douglas Storm. You adopted children?" Static said in her parenting voice as Flash sighed.
"Yes Dad and nothing you can say will change my mind." Flash said as there was a long silence on the phone.
"Do they have powers?" Static asked as Flash smiled brightly. Lorgo walked through the door and stood there confused when he saw the sleeping bodies of Nessa and Aiden.
"Did I miss something?" Lorgo asked as Hydro walked past him and out the door.
"You're going to be living with kids now." Hydro said as Lorgo looked at him then at Flash confused. Bolt took a deep breath as he stood outside a familiar door. He knocked on it three times before it flung open.
"Oh. Hey…" Chrissy said awkwardly as she wrapped her arms around herself. A smile tugged at his lips as he noticed how she always does that when she's in an awkward situation.
"Hi…" Bolt said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I…I just…I'm sorry." Bolt said as he looked down at her. Chrissy looked up at him with her pretty hazel-blue eyes that Bolt cursed. "You're right I have no right to tell you who to date. I'm sure Stephan is…great. The point is. I'm happy seeing you happy." He gritted out as Chrissy smiled a bit. She hugged him as he smiled and hugged her back.
"I forgive you. I know Stephan isn't your choice pick, but please, get to know him." Chrissy said as Bolt sighed dramatically.
"I guess I can fit it in my schedule." He said as Chrissy laughed and nudged him.
"He isn't bad. You'll like him." Chrissy said as Bolt smiled and nodded. Chrissy smiled at him as she closed her door.
"Yeah, I'm sure we'll get along great." He muttered sarcastically to himself as he walked to his apartment.
"Jeez, even when one of you guys get kids they're still older to me." Luca complained as everybody was at the park. They were all there to get to know Aiden and Nessa.
"Matt's not older than you." Bolt said as Luca shrugged his shoulders.
"I think you should get over it." Julian said to his son as Luca looked at him shocked. "Be a man." He said as Luca glared at him.
"Get out of my Dad!" Luca said as Aiden flew out of Julian's body and back to his.
"That was funny." He said sporting his new clothing. He was wearing a blue hoodie, unzipped with a gray t-shirt underneath and straight-leg jeans with navy Chucks. Nessa had a dark green, cropped hoodie with a white t-shirt under and boot-cut jeans with green, laced-up vans.
"Shut up." Luca said as Julian looked around confused.
"You're so cute." Suzy said holding Aiden's face in her hands as he groaned.
"I'm eleven. I'm no longer cute. I'm handsome." Aiden said as Shade put his arm around him.
"Damn right." Shade said as he and Aiden nodded.
"You're going to get to meet my bro and sis when they come here you know?" AJ said as he sat next to Nessa. "They're twins and both eleven too." AJ said as Nessa smiled shyly. "My brother Alex is cool. You'll like him. Don't get mad if he doesn't talk that much. He's pretty shy." AJ said as Nessa smiled up at him.
"Hey! Stop trying to set up my daughter with your brother! She's eleven!" Flash said as he pulled Nessa away from AJ.
"I was just telling her about them. You know…because they're the same age and they'll be coming here soon." AJ said as Flash glared at him.
"Sure you were…" He said as AJ laughed silently to himself.
"You have problems when your little sisters date other people, but not your brother?" Lazarus said as AJ shrugged his shoulders.
"This is different." AJ said as Lazarus shook his head.
"Nice eye Mason." Ethan commented as Mason growled at him.
"Nice…face! King." Nicky said as Ethan rolled his eyes.
"Christmas. We're putting the plan of attack then." Mason said tossing his dice as Shock scowled.
"Why do we have to wait until then? I want to use those little brats against Flash." Shock growled as Phantom shot him a glare.
"It will give them time to think that we gave up." Mason said as he swiveled his chair towards the group. "And chance for someone to meet two people." Mason said as he looked over to Cat who scowled at him.
"What's the point of meeting them if we're going to kill their children?" Cat growled out as Zeke crossed his arms.
"Gives you some closure." He said as she snorted.
"I have all the closure I need." She hissed as Zeke glared at her. "Who says this plan will even work?" Cat said as Thunder growled.
"It will work." Thunder said as she glared at Cat who returned one to her.
"Is this meeting over already?" Ethan said in boredom as he rested his face in his hand. "The plan is full proof, Cat. I went through all the possible outcomes and they have no chance." Ethan said as Cat frowned.
"Whatever. I'm out." Cat said grabbing her board and walking out of their meeting room.
"What's up her butt?" Nicky said as Zeke growled at him.
"Shut up idiot." Zeke said as Nicky scowled at him. Cat's mind raced as she skated back to her small apartment.
'I can't let them die. I have to stop this somehow without betraying them. I can't do this to my family. To…Garrett.' Cat thought as the cold air whipped against her face.
(A/N): Aw, Flash has his own family. Chrissy forgave Bolt and Donovan saved Kim. But now Mason has a plan and Cat's worried for the group? And Garrett? Whaat? Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to know what the group wears for winter. Just let me know.
