(A/N): There was a huge typo in the last chapter! In Bolt's letter to Shade and Shawn it says "I'm going to kill myself or any shit like that". There's supposed to be a not in there. He's not going to kill himself. Haha. What a typo.
Rafael fazed into his penthouse looking around his surroundings before carrying Alana to his bedroom. He never spent a lot of time in his room anyways so he might as well put her there. He laid her on his bed and covered her in the blankets. He sat in the lounge chair he had in his room and looked over at Alana's sleeping form.
'She really is beautiful.' Rafael thought before shaking his head. 'Get a grip on yourself Rafael. She's not yours. She's just…a person.' He thought with a grimace. He got up from his chair and quickly got of the room 'I can't stay in there with her there.' He thought before walking to his office. He sighed as he sat at his desk and rubbed his face. He decided to do some school work as Alana slept.
"What?!" Emma and Lauren yelled. Renegade's ears flattened against his head as he kept his face in his hands.
"She was kidnapped?!" Emma asked in bewilderment. Renegade nodded against his hands as Lauren began to pace.
"Did you guys try to stop them?" Izzy asked as she walked over to Julian.
"Of course, but he had this shield around him." Donovan said as he leaned on the back of the couch.
"A shield?" Lauren questioned.
"Like a mental shield." Donovan said with a shrug of his shoulders. "He can teleport and has a shield. Those are the powers we know of." Donovan said crossing his arms.
"That's hard to beat." Lauren said with a frown.
"We don't even know where he is." Renegade said glumly.
"Let's get the group together. Maybe we can track her down somehow." Julian said as everybody nodded.
"Ugh! This is impossible!" Tyler yelled as he stared at the computer screen. Everybody was in Lauren's apartment trying to find any trace of Alana.
"He's good." Chrissy said as she shook her head. A dog came sniffing through pushing through everybody's legs. It suddenly morphed into a standing Suzy.
"I can't pick up any scent." Suzy said as Renegade groaned.
"This is my fault." Renegade said as Conner put his hand on Renegade's shoulder.
"No it's not. It's his own doing and you're not at fault." Conner said as Renegade scowled and stayed silent. Chrissy, Stephan, and Tyler kept working on computers trying to find any useful information on Rafael Andrews, but they kept coming up short. Everybody else tried to do their best and finding info too. Renegade sat on the couch holding his head in depression. Emma sat next to him and wrapped her arm around him as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"We'll find her." She said as he just stayed still. Suzy and Wilmer were sniffing around the grounds as Bianca and Ivy followed them. Wilmer growled before morphing back to normal.
"This rascal is hard one." Wilmer drawled as Suzy morphed back next to him.
"It's like he didn't even exist." Ivy said as Suzy scowled.
"We're finding her! This group is either together or apart. All members included!" Suzy said as they all nodded along with her. "C'mon Wilmer." Suzy said as she morphed back into a beagle and Wilmer morphed into a blood hound. They went off sniffing again as Bianca and Ivy followed.
"I'm not picking up on any of her thermal energy." Andrew said as Roddy teleported by his side.
"I can't locate her. Thermal energy?" He questioned as Andrew shrugged his shoulders.
"Everybody has a specific…heat I guess. I can sense them through the ground, but I'm not picking up anything from Alana." Andrew said as Roddy frowned.
"No matter how hard I concentrate I can't teleport to the right location." Roddy said as Andrew sighed.
"This is difficult." Andrew said pinching the bridge of his nose. Roddy nodded as he looked around the apartment.
"Hopefully that creep is taking care of her." Roddy said as Andrew nodded. Shade was in the admissions building with Lauren and Flash looking for Rafael's file.
"Jeez, they have the lamest security system." Lauren said as she easily hacked the computer.
"It's just a school. It's not the government." Flash said as Lauren rolled her eyes. She continued to look down names as she gave an exasperated sigh.
"They should have a search box." Lauren said as she held the down arrow button. Shade was staying silent since he couldn't keep his mind off of what he was doing for Cheka.
"Hey Shade, can I borrow a dollar?" Flash asked as he stared at a vending machine. Shade rolled his eyes as he stared at his friend.
"It's not borrowing if I'm not going to get it back. When you borrow stuff it's still the person's possession…" He trailed off as he realized something. "Flash you're a genius!" Shade exclaimed slapping a dollar in his hand and running out of the building.
"Uh…thanks." He said confused before buying his candy bar. Shade ran into his apartment and slammed into his room.
"Cheka!" He yelled as Cheka appeared looking at him confused. "Suzy can wear the necklace!" Shade exclaimed as Cheka sighed.
"I told you that she can't. It's Lilac's." Cheka said as Shade shook his head.
"But Suzy can borrow it! It's still Lilac's, but Suzy will be borrowing it." Shade said smiling brightly at his brilliant idea.
"I don't know…" Cheka said feeling very unsure.
"Let's just test it out." Shade pleaded as Cheka shrugged his shoulders. "Yes!" Shade said happily as he jetted off back to the other apartment. He ran into Lilac who looked at him confused. "Let Suzy borrow your necklace." Shade said in a rush as Lilac continued to look at him confused.
"But…I thought-"Shade interrupted her quickly.
"I know, but I just want to test this out." He said as Suzy marched into the room with a pissed off look on her face.
"We couldn't find anything." She said as she passed everybody at the computers. Lilac walked over to her shyly as she unclasped her necklace.
"Suzy, you can borrow this." Lilac said holding out her necklace. Suzy looked at the necklace confused before looking at her.
"Um…thanks?" Suzy said confused as she put the necklace on. Lilac nodded and walked away as Shade ran over to Suzy holding his necklace and grabbed hers. Their eyes flashed red and pink as Shade threw his arms in the air.
"It actually worked!" He cheered as everybody looked at him. "Oh…uh…hey guys." He said awkwardly before unclasping Suzy's necklace. They're eyes went back to normal as he looked at Lilac. Lilac gave him a thumb's up as he cheered.
"Nice to see you too." Suzy said walking around her boyfriend. Back at Rafael's apartment Alana's eyes started to open as Rafael walked into the room. Alana gasped and quickly sat up as Rafael put his hands up.
"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you." Rafael said as he sat in the lounge chair. "Go ahead to see if I'm lying. I know you can read emotions." Rafael said as Alana did and she was confused to see that he was telling the truth.
"Why did you take me?" She asked as Rafael shrugged his shoulders.
"I really don't have a legitimate reason. Your boyfriend took something very important to me and I had to get it back. You were to perfect way. He gave it back, but now I'm just teaching him a lesson. I'm actually interested in seeing if he can find me. He'll be able to accomplish the impossible." Rafael said as Alana just listened. She absorbed all the information and was shocked by the turn of events. She was just doing homework and now she's a kidnapping victim.
"Aren't you going to say you're disgusted by me?" Rafael voice asked as she looked up at him.
"I'm more shocked than anything." She murmured as Rafael looked at her. He was confused at how calm she was being. He expected her to be yelling at him and throwing insults, but now she just seemed…sad. Rafael slapped his thighs and stood up.
"I know you're probably hungry. Is there anything in particular would you like to eat? Or are you afraid I'll poison your food?" He asked as Alana got up from the bed she was sitting in. She just shrugged her shoulders and followed Rafael to the kitchen. She looked around the penthouse to see nice looking couches and fancy electronics. There was a fireplace that wasn't lit and the place almost had a homey feeling.
"You have a nice place…" She said as Rafael shrugged.
"Better than a college kid I know, but it's not that great." Rafael said as he walked into his kitchen. "What would you like? You are the guest." He asked as Alana looked at him confused. "C'mon sunshine! I'm trying to make you feel comfortable. I'm not going to be a prison guard and keep you in a room and give you shit to eat." Rafael said as Alana rubbed her arm.
"I don't really know…" She said as Rafael looked into his fridge.
"Frozen pizza?" He asked as Alana looked over to him.
"Sure." She said as she sat down at the kitchen table. She fiddled her fingers as Rafael put the pizza in the oven. He sat down across from her as she kept her eyes down. "You said you could find out anything about someone…how much do you know about me?" Alana asked as Rafael pursed his lips.
"You're full name is Alana Isabel Delgado. You were born in Phoenix, Arizona to Hanson and Jeanine Delgado. You moved to California at the age of sixteen and became enrolled into California Mobius High School for the Gifted. You got into NYU on a full scholarship and majoring in Psychiatry." Rafael said as Alana gaped at him. "It's a basic government record. Nothing special." Rafael said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"How do you even get into the government's computer?" Alana asked as Rafael smirked.
"It's not easy I'll tell you that. Especially when you're not trying to get caught." Rafael said as he stood up and walked over to the fridge. He took stuff out to make a salad as Alana turned to face him.
"Why do you do it?" She asked as Rafael looked at her confused and chuckled.
"For pleasure? I think that's what sex is for." Rafael said as Alana's cheeks and eyes turned pink.
"I didn't mean…that. I meant steal stuff." Alana asked as Rafael pursed her lips. He shrugged his shoulders as he mixed the ingredients for the salad together.
"Rough childhood." He said simply as Alana looked at him confused.
"What-"She was interrupted when the timer for the pizza went off.
"Pizza's done!" Rafael exclaimed as he got a potholder and opened the oven to retrieve the pizza. Alana could tell he was avoiding the subject and decided to leave it to him. He brought the pizza and salad to the table as they served themselves. If anyone from the outside saw them they would have looked like two friends, maybe even a couple, having a night in. It looked that casual. "So…tell me about Renegade. What made you head over heels in love with him?" Rafael asked taking a bite of his pizza.
"I don't know…his personality?" She said as Rafael raised his eyebrow.
"How can you not know what made you fall in love this guy?" Rafael asked as Alana bit her lip.
"He's just sweet. I guess we complete each other. He doesn't have overbearing emotions and he doesn't like flamboyant girls. We just work." Alana explained with a shrug of her shoulders.
"I guess that's a suitable answer." Rafael said as Alana nodded.
"What about you?" Alana asked.
"What about me?" Rafael asked her as Alana picked at her salad.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Alana asked as Rafael snorted.
"If I did. I wouldn't have done this whole thing in the first place." Rafael said as Alana blushed.
"Have you had one? One you loved?" She asked as Rafael pursed his lips.
"Not yet." He said as he looked her in the eyes. They stayed like that staring at each other until Alana looked back at her plate.
"You know everything about me. Anything you can tell me?" Alana asked as Rafael pursed his lips.
"I'm from San Francisco. I went to a normal high school because I didn't think I really needed to be at a super-powered school. I was smart. I was one of the top students and I played basketball. I only kept a few friends, but I quickly let them go when I came here. I'm in my third year of college and majoring in engineering." Rafael said as he messed around with his pizza crust.
"You played basketball?" Alana asked as Rafael nodded. "What position?" She asked as Rafael smiled a bit.
"Forward." He said as Alana nodded. "You played?" He asked as Alana shook her head.
"Oh no…my dad is a big fan of the Lakers." Alana said as Rafael smiled.
"He has good taste." Rafael said as he pointed his pizza crust at her. Alana smiled a bit as she looked down and hid behind her quills.
'He's not so bad.' She thought before she looked back at him. He smiled at her as she blushed and smiled.
"We got something!" Lauren yelled as she rushed into the apartment. Everybody stood up and started questioning her. "Shut up!" She yelled as everybody became quiet.
"What did you find out?" Renegade asked as Lauren lifted up a sheet of paper.
"His class schedule." Lauren said as everybody looked at her confused. "Hello people! He has to go to class. It may not be the location of where he and Alana are, but we can catch him and find out." Lauren said as everybody cheered.
"All we have to do is wait a bit." Renegade said with a small smile on his face. "I'll find you soon Alana." Renegade whispered to himself.
(A/N): Short chapter I know, but I didn't really have anything else for this chapter. I'm not going to do the Lilac/Shade lemon since a lot of you were against it. If you want to see Shade/Suzy lemon please tell me in your reviews. That's about it. Bye!
