(A/N): SAINTS WON!!! WOO!! YESSS!!!! Thanks for answering the poll. You'll figure out what's it about soon enough.
It was now the beginning of March and everybody was enjoying the slightly warmer weather. Renegade was working his shift at Starbucks making coffees as usual.
"Hey Jamie." He said when his fellow employee came from the back with a dark look on his face. Jamie walked over to the cash registered glancing at Renegade nervously. He opened the cash register as Renegade raised his eyebrow in confusion. "What are you do-"Renegade was quickly cut off when Jamie punched him in the stomach and grabbed all the money he could from the register. Renegade growled as he got up and chased after him people gasping at the scene.
"Get back here!" Renegade yelled as Jamie continued running. Renegade followed him into a building where Jamie started climbing stairs. Jamie made it to the roof when a gray fox tackled him. The fox had multiple bangs with a white muzzle. He had white tips on his ears and dark gray tips on his bangs. He had navy blue eyes and had a similar body structure to Renegade. "Hey, thanks." Renegade said as the fox picked up the money.
"No problem. The name's Rafael." The fox said as Renegade walked over to him.
"I'm Renegade. Thanks for catching this thief." Renegade said glaring at Jamie on the ground.
"I think it's this thief you need to worry about." Rafael said as Renegade looked back up at him confused. Rafael had a smirk on his face as he stuffed the money into his pocket and stood on the ledge of the roof. "You know, you shouldn't trust strangers that easily." Rafael said before falling backwards. Renegade ran over to the ledge to see no sign of him.
"Damn it!" Renegade cursed as he slammed his fists on the ledge of the roof. He saw something white out of the corner of his eye. He looked to see a piece of paper stuck onto the ledge. He ripped it off to see some scrawl on it.
You'll see me again.
He crumpled the paper in his hand before tossing it on the ground and returning to work more pissed off than he was.
"You mean he just jumped off the roof?" Conner said as Renegade nodded. He was back at his apartment that he shared with Conner. "That's freaking crazy!" Conner exclaimed as Renegade scowled.
"I have a bad feeling about this guy." He muttered as Conner nodded.
"Maybe he's a new member to the Avengers." Conner said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I doubt it. He didn't have one of those stupid necklaces." Renegade said with his arms crossed.
"Well, maybe he was just a common thief. Well not a common one since he jumped off a thirty-two story building." Conner said as Renegade rolled his eyes.
"I don't care what he is, but I know he has something out for me now." Renegade said as Conner frowned.
"Maybe Chrissy could get some dirt on him." Conner suggested as Renegade shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm going to go see Alana." Renegade said as Conner waved him goodbye. Bolt was sitting in his Theatrics class waiting for it to end.
"Your assignment for tomorrow is to write a monologue. Your character must be going through a struggle that seems like he's failing, but don't make him suicidal or depressed. He needs to have some hope. It will be performed next class you are dismissed." The professor said as Bolt gathered his books and walked out. He started to ponder over different ideas for his monologues when Flash came running towards him.
"Dude! I need a babysitter!" Flash exclaimed as Bolt raised an eyebrow before walking around him.
"No can do cuz. I have a monologue to write and I'm going to be in the library practically all night. Why do you even need a babysitter? They're eleven I think they can handle themselves." Bolt said as Flash sighed.
"Ivy doesn't feel comfortable leaving them alone and we both have night classes. I need someone!" Flash said as Bolt shrugged his shoulders.
"What about Shawn?" Bolt asked.
"He has a date with Ruby. Lorgo and Suzy have class, Hailey is working in a lab, Bianca and Wilmer are in Miami to visit family, Hydro is working with his band, and Tsunami has a kickboxing class to teach." Flash said as Bolt looked at him.
"Oh yeah! I forgot that's her job. How's she doing?" Bolt asked as Flash glared at him. "Sorry, well…what about Shade?" Bolt asked as Flash's eye widened.
"You're a genius! Thanks!" He yelled before running away. Bolt rolled his eyes before grabbing an early dinner. Shade was walking towards his motorcycle when Flash ran right into him.
"Dude! Seriously?" Shade asked as Flash helped him up.
"Sorry, but I need a babysitter." Flash said as Shade raised his eyebrows.
"Aiden and Nessa are eleven. I think they'll be fine." Shade said as Flash groaned.
"Ivy doesn't feel comfortable leaving them alone. Please Shade! Please!" Flash said getting on his knees and begging.
"Fine! Bring them to my place later." Shade said as Flash smiled brightly and cheered.
"Thank you!" Flash yelled as he ran off. Shade rolled his eyes and got onto his bike before driving off. Shade was in his apartment preparing some macaroni and cheese when Flash came through the door with Aiden and Nessa. "Thanks again!" He yelled before hugging both his children and running off.
"Hey Shade." Aiden said as he walked into kitchen throwing his backpack on the table.
"Sup Aiden. Hey Nessa." Shade said as Nessa smiled at him before sitting at the table. "You guys do your homework?" Shade asked as Aiden scoffed.
"Yeah…multiplying fractions are so easy." Aiden said as Shade laughed.
"Just wait. It gets harder." Shade said as he put the pasta into three bowls.
"Doubt it. I'm beastly at math." Aiden said as he sat at the table next to Nessa.
"I rather do art." Nessa said as Aiden scrunched up his nose.
"Lame." Aiden said as Nessa stuck her tongue out at him. Aiden stuck his tongue out at her as they both stayed like that.
"Children please. Let's be mature." Shade said as he sat opposite of them. They both pointed their tongues at him as he stuck his tongue at them. Aiden and Nessa laughed as Shade did too. "Who wants to watch The Lion King?" He asked as Nessa and Aiden rushed over to the couch.
"I do!" Cheka said appearing in the middle of the living room. Shade's eyes widened the same time Aiden and Nessa screamed.
"Ghost!" Nessa yelled as she covered herself with a blanket.
"Oh…my bad." Cheka said as Shade glared at him.
"Guys, guys. Calm down this is my friend, Cheka." Shade said as they looked at Shade confused.
"You're friends with a ghost?!" Aiden exclaimed as Shade nodded. "Cool!" Aiden said as he started to move his hands through Cheka. Nessa smiled a bit when Cheka tried to make Aiden stop, but couldn't touch him.
"Guys, I know this is cool and everything, but you can't tell anyone. Not even your parents or Luca." Shade said as Cheka floated next to him.
"Why?" Nessa asked as Cheka smirked.
"Because I'm way too cool for anyone else to know." Cheka said as Shade rolled his eyes.
"It's a secret ok?" Shade said as they both nodded.
"Can we watch Lion King now?" Cheka asked as Shade nodded. "Woo!" Cheka said as he floated onto the couch between Aiden and Nessa. Nessa and Aiden started to clap their hands together through Cheka as he rolled his eyes. "Seriously guys? Some maturity." Cheka said as they both stuck their tongues out. "Well then!" Cheka said before sticking his tongue back at them. Shade laughed and rolled his eyes. Renegade was walking with Alana to restaurant where they could have dinner.
"Hey Renegade." Rafael said as Renegade pushed Alana behind him. Rafael smirked as Renegade glared at him. "Now, I'm not that much of a threat to hide your pretty girlfriend." Rafael said as Alana tried to peek around Renegade.
"Who are you even?" Renegade growled as Rafael shrugged his shoulders.
"A college student and a high-class thief." He said casually as Alana gasped. "It is quite shocking at first." Rafael said as Renegade glared at him.
"What do you want from me?" Renegade asked as Rafael shrugged his shoulders.
"Nothing really at first. I just was trying to get some extra cash, but you were just so much fun to mess with." Rafael said as Renegade glared at him. "I was just passing by when I saw you and your pretty girlfriend. What's your name now beautiful?" Rafael said leaning to his side to look at Alana from behind Renegade's back. Renegade growled and pushed Alana back more.
"That's none of your business!" Renegade said with a scowl. Rafael shrugged his shoulders before standing straight again.
"Doesn't matter really. Along with my thievery skills I'm also a great tracker. I can find out anything I want about a person." Rafael said as Renegade growled.
"You stay away from Alana." Renegade said as Rafael smiled.
"Alana is it? Suits her well." Rafael said as Renegade glared at him. "Well…I should be on my way now. Don't bother trying arresting me. No one can peg me to a crime." Rafael said before running up at wall and climbing up the wall. He soon disappeared into the darkness as Renegade scowled.
"Who was that?" Alana asked as Renegade growled.
"The guy who stole the money from work today." Renegade said as Alana furrowed her eyebrows in concern.
"Are you ok?" She asked sensing his irritation and anger. Renegade closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He sighed before opening his eyes and looking back at Alana.
"Yeah. I'll be fine." Renegade said as Alana smiled softly. Garrett paced outside Cat's apartment which was actually his apartment. She moved in with him because she was leaving with Zeke before. He was contemplating how to ask her to be officially his. He started to chew at his nails nervously when the door swung open.
"Oh! Uh…hey Garrett." Tyler said as he and Onyx walked out of the apartment. Cat has become great friends with Tyler, Onyx, and Ruby since they all bonded over skating. "Uh…how's it going?" Tyler asked as Garrett shifted awkwardly.
"Uh…good. You?" Garrett asked as Tyler smiled.
"Good. Good." Tyler said making Garrett smiled awkwardly as Cat looked at him from the sofa confused. "I guess we'll go." Tyler said as he and Onyx started to make their way down the hall.
"What were you doing out there?" Cat asked as Garrett walked in shutting the door behind him.
"Just thinking." He said trying to sound casually. Cat raised an eyebrow as Garrett smiled.
"Something wrong?" She asked as Garrett shook his head.
"Nope! No! Everything is perfect." He said as Cat just stared at him.
"Ok then…I made some chicken and salad if you want some." She said returning to the book she was reading.
"Yeah…thanks." He said walking into the kitchen. He quickly ate his food before jumping onto the couch next to Cat. "So…how was your day?" Garrett asked as Cat put her book down.
"I had a class today which droned on for hours. Tyler and Onyx came by to hang out and to mooch off some food." She said with a laugh. Cat was taking some classes at the college to get a degree in teaching so she could become a math teacher. "Did you like the chicken? I tried one of my mom's recipes." She said with a smile. Garrett noticed now that every time she would mention her family she would get a happy smile on her face. It always made Garrett smile because he knew she was now happy.
"Yeah. It was amazing. Listen, I want to talk to you about something." Garrett said as Cat turned her body to face him.
"I'm all ears." She said with a smile on her face. Garrett looked down at his lap becoming very nervous.
"Um…I'm pretty sure you know how I feel about you." He said as Cat nodded. "And you told me you felt the same way. I just wanted to make it official." Garrett said swallowing thickly. God! He hasn't been this nervous before.
"You aren't proposing are you?" Cat asked skeptically as Garrett cracked a smile.
"Not exactly. Will you be my girlfriend? Officially?" He asked intertwining his fingers with her. Cat looked down at them before smiling brightly.
"Of course." She said kissing him fully. She pulled away as Garrett collapsed backwards on the couch.
"Oh thank God! I thought I was going to pass out! You have should have seen me today! I was nervous wreck!" Garrett said as Cat laughed.
"I can only imagine." Cat said as Garrett smiled.
"I can officially call you my girlfriend. My girlfriend, Cat. My girlfriend, Catharine the Hedgehog ladies and gentlemen." He said as Cat laughed.
"I doubt you'll use that last one." She said as he kissed her forehead.
"I'll find a way." He said as Cat shook her head with a laugh. Bolt was in his Theatrics class the next day about to perform his monologue. The professor had a mini scene put together. It was a rundown New York apartment with a big window that had a cloudy scenery. Bolt came onto the stage and faced his audience
"Solari, Bolt. My monologue is tilted: Her Smile." Bolt said as the professor nodded. Bolt took a deep breath before he sat on the window sill and looked out the window.
"Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. That was the only sound around me. The only thing I cared to hear. It was a constant reminder of the time I'm losing her. She's my love, with a beauty so pure it can make the world stop. Her skin, as soft as a thousand feathers under my touch. Her eyes would sparkle and shine like millions of candles. But, then there was her smile. There nothing that compared to her smile. Her smile would brighten up the darkest cave. It was the light that kept my sky bright. Her smile was my everything. Every thought, every moment, every breath is filled with her. She has broken through the man that is me. The silence…it's unsettling because it screams the truth. The truth that she's not mine. She belonged to me, but not anymore. The pain I go through everyday seeing her with someone else is immense. The clouds rain daggers that pierce my heart at speeds I couldn't surpass. But…her smile. Her smile. The smile of love she holds for another man shows me…the happiness she holds. Her smile is what keeps me moving. That beautiful smile of my love…is all I need." He said ending by looking down to the floor. Everyone applauded as he took his bow.
"Very nice work Mr. Solari." The professor commented as Bolt smiled. "That was the last one for today. We'll have much more next week. Goodbye everyone." She said dismissing the class. Shade was waiting by the door as Bolt looked at him shocked and confused.
"Nice work." Shade said as Bolt smirked.
"You saw that?" He asked as they walked out of the class.
"Yep. You did a really good job." Shade said as he and Bolt left the Performing Arts building.
"I'm a born actor. Of course I was good." Bolt said as Shade rolled his eyes. "Where are we supposed to meet Flash?" Bolt asked as Shade started to head for the park.
"The park. Apparently he's desperate for a babysitter." Shade said as Bolt rolled his eyes.
"Again? They're eleven. I think they can take care of themselves." Bolt said as Shade shrugged his shoulders. Chrissy and Stephan were walking arm and arm through the park enjoying the slightly warmer weather. Chrissy leaned her head on Stephan's shoulder as he smiled.
"Chrissy, let's sit down for a bit." Stephan said as he led them to a nearby bench. "How long have we been going out?" He asked as Chrissy pursed her lips in thought.
"I say six months." Chrissy said as Stephan smiled brightly.
"Some of the best months of my life." Stephan said as Chrissy kissed his cheek.
"I love you." She said as he turned his body to face her.
"I love you so much." He said the emotion clear in his eyes. Chrissy smiled softly back at him as he kissed her. "Chrissy I have loved you more than anybody in my life." He said as Chrissy smiled.
"I love you too." Chrissy said. Chrissy knew she couldn't say the same back to him because she knew it was a lie. She knew she loved someone way more than she loves Stephan. She felt her heart strain against her chest as the thought hit her, but she smiled and continue to listen to Stephan.
"Chrissy, I love you with all my heart. Will you marry me?" Stephan asked as Chrissy gasped. Stephan got down on one knee as he pulled out a ring. Shade froze as he sat the sight. He quickly turned around and pulled at Bolt's arm before he could see it, but it was too late.
"Yes." Chrissy said as Stephan smiled brightly. Bolt looked on in shock as Shade shook his head. Stephan picked her up in his arms as he twirled her around. Bolt did the only thing her could think of. He ran. He blasted out of the park at top speed. Shade started to chase after him catching up with him quickly.
"Bolt wait!" Shade called out as Bolt started running backwards. He blasted Shade with some electricity sending him spiraling to the ground. Shade skidded on the ground as he watched Bolt disappear into the city.
(A/N): Duh! Duh! Duh!!!! I'm cruel and I know it. I decided that for every new character I add I'm just going to put their information at the end of the chapter. I'll put Rafael later when I add more stuff about him. But here's Aiden and Nessa.
