The sun rose through the sky shining its rays throughout Jump City. The Logan household was quiet. Everyone slept in their bed sound asleep except for Rachael. She was wide awake with anxiety. Her thoughts ran like crazy throughout her mind. Once she told Mrs. Logan about Adonis, she did feel free, but she felt bound again when she had to tell Gar. She loved Gar. She truly did. She loved him enough not to tell him about Adonis. She knew that if she told him, he would be heartbroken. He would blame himself for not being there for there and soon chase after Adonis. She feared that Adonis would do something harmful to Gar. She didn't want to see him hurt. Rachael looked at the clock on her bed stand. It read 6:15 am. Rachael got up from her bed and looked out the window. She saw the beautiful rays of the sun shining through the neighborhood. She opened the big windows and felt the cool, gentle morning breeze blow in her face. It was a beautiful Saturday. Rachael wished she could enjoy it with her friends, but knew she had to tell Gar the news, and it surely wasn't going to end in a happy note. Rachael turned around and went back into her bedroom to get ready for the day.

Gar slowly woke up from his peaceful slumber to the smell of bacon. He yawned and sat up in his bed. He rubbed his eyes and took a big sniff of the smell in the air again. A smile grew on his face as he knew that his mother was making her famous bacon. He got up from his bed and stretched his arms. He scratched his butt and walked to the bathroom to freshen up. He walked down the hallway and saw Rachael come right out of the bathroom. He waved his hand at her with a big smile. He saw her give him a small smile, but he knew that something was wrong. They passed each other along the hallway. Gar turned around and opened his mouth, ready to say something, but Rachael quickly entered her bedroom and closed the door. Gar shut his mouth and wondered what was wrong with her this morning. He shrugged it off and walked into the bathroom.

Mrs. Logan flipped the sizzling bacon that was being cooked on the frying pan. She looked at the clock and knew that Gar would be down soon for his plate of bacon and eggs. Mrs. Logan was still shaken up by the news that Rachael told her last night. She couldn't get any sleep due to it. She couldn't believe that Adonis would do something so sickening and evil like that. She also felt bad for Rachael. "The poor girl probably has nightmares about it...She's so strong for such a little girl." Mrs. Logan thought to herself as she looked back on Rachael's life. She honored the teenage girl that went through so much. Mrs. Logan put the bacon onto the plate and brought it to the table with the rest of the food. Mr. Logan walked into the kitchen in casual clothes. Since it was Saturday, he had the day off. Mrs. Logan told her husband about Rachael and it looked like he didn't get too much sleep as well. She walked toward her husband and kissed him good morning. They both looked at each other and knew that he must act as if he doesn't know anything about Rachael's rape. He took a sip of his coffee that was handed to him by his wife. Gar soon made his appearance in the kitchen. He sat in his usual seat. He took his fork and knife, ready for his breakfast. Mrs. Logan made a small smile to her son though she felt bad for Gar. She knew that what Rachael would tell him today will wipe the smile off his face. Not too long after Gar sat, Rachael made her way to the kitchen. She didn't look as happy like she usually did when she saw the Logan family together. She sat in her seat quietly not saying a word. Gar looked at his family and noticed that everyone was quiet and didn't seem as happy as he did. He soon became confused and wanted to know what was going on.

"Hey...What's going on?" Gar asked confusingly.

Everyone silently looked at Gar. Mrs. Logan put a fake smile and brought her son his breakfast.

"Oh nothing sweetheart." Mrs. Logan said.

Gar soon forgot about the idea and focused his attention to his breakfast. He hungrily ate through the food. Rachael watched him with sad eyes.

"I'm going to really hate myself for this." Rachael thought as she slowly ate her breakfast.

After the Logans had their breakfast, everyone dispersed to their own doings. Mrs. Logan went to cleaning the house while Mr. Logan went into his office to work on some papers. Gar sat in the living room watching the morning cartoons while Rachael paced through her room. She wondered how she could tell Gar, but so far, came up with nothing. She sighed and flopped onto her comfy bed. She looked up at the ceiling. Thoughts of Gar's big smile flashed through her eyes. Knots tied in her stomach like crazy. She felt as if she was going to throw up. "I have to get this over with." Rachael got up from her bed and went to Gar to tell him.

She walked down the stairs and saw Gar laughing at the old cartoons. She made her way to him.

"Hey Gar, can we walk to the park?" Rachael asked Gar quietly.

"Sure Rach. I'll go get ready." Gar said as he ran up the stairs to his bedroom.

Mrs. Logan walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "Are you going to tell him, sweetheart?"

Rachael sighed "Yeah…I have to."

Mrs. Logan silently nodded her head. "It's for the best. I'm sure he'll understand."

Rachael was about to say something until she heard Gar come down the stairs. She quickly dropped the subject and looked at Gar.

"C'mon, let's go." Gar said as he put his shoes on.

Rachael nervously looked at Mrs. Logan. Mrs. Logan silently nodded to Rachael.

Gar and Rachael walked out the house leaving Mrs. Logan in the living room alone.

Victor and Richard sat in Richard's bedroom playing video games. They were having an intense battle. Their two cars competed with each other to make it to the finish line first. Richard was at the edge of his seat on the couch while Victor sat back intimidatingly. He smirked as he saw the full concentration on Richard's face.

"You're gonna' lose man." Victor said.

"Shut up! I'm gonna win." Richard said as he kept playing.

Victor shrugged and concentrated to the game. "I'm the king of video games, man. You're playing with the master." Victor smirked.

Richard laughed. "Master my butt!"

"Oh! Oh ok! Now you're most defiantly gonna lose." Victor said as he paid his full concentration on the videogame.

The two kept at their videogame. They were neck at neck. Sweat dropped from both of their foreheads. 'YOU WIN' flashed through the screen. Victor's eyes glued to the screen in astonishment and disbelief. Richard jumped from the couch laughing and screaming in joy.

"Look who's the master now!" Richard said as he yelled in Victor's still shocked face.

"But….How?" Victor looked at the controller. "This can't be right man! I should have won."

"Oh whatever! Kiss my butt, oh wonderful master." Richard said as he shook his butt in Victor's face.

"Alright man, you may have won this round, but I'll win next time." Victor said with anger as he raised his controller in the air.

"Yeah right. Whatever!" Richard said in triumph.

Richard sat down on the couch in exhaustion. He took a sip from his soda that was sitting on the table.

"So what's up with Rachael? Ever since she came back to school, she's been acting different." Victor said as he took a bite of his pizza.

Richard soon became quiet. Victor looked at him wondering when he would answer him.

"Well?" Victor asked as he looked at Richard.

Richard shrugged and took another sip from his soda.

"C'mon man. I know you know something. You have to tell me."

"I...I don't know." Richard shrugged.

"Man, this is my little sister. You can't hold stuff back from me." Victor said in a serious tone.

Richard looked Victor in the eyes and knew that he wasn't goofing off. He sighed and told Victor.

"Well, she said that Adonis has been messing with her." Richard said.

"Messing with her? Well he usually does that." Victor said.

"Yeah, but she says that it's getting worse. He keeps trying to get her alone with him after classes. He also keeps touching her-"

Richard was interrupted as Victor stood up in anger. "Touching her!? He's been touching my little sister! Oh heck nah, man!" Victor began to walk around in anger. Richard soon got up as well.

"Victor, calm down." Richard said as he tried to calm his angry friend.

"Calm down! Oh no! I can't do that…..Did she even tell Gar?" He asked. "Gar would have went to Adonis and try to kill him."

"I think she was going to tell him sooner or later."

"Well, she needs to tell him now!"

Victor grabbed his coat and started to walk out of the bedroom.

"Where are you going?" Richard asked as he followed his friend.

"I'm going to give Adonis a piece of my mind….and fist." Victor said angrily as he walked out of the large mansion. Richard soon followed Victor out of the door as well.

Gar and Rachael walked down the brick trail in the park. The sun shone brightly in the sky and birds chirped in the trees happily. Kids and families were sitting on the beautiful green grass enjoying the wonderful Saturday. Gar smiled and looked at the families as he and Rachael walked down the trail in silence.

"Are you ok?" Gar asked as he wrapped his arm around Rachael's shoulder.

Rachael looked up at Gar and saw the big smile that he had on his face. A small smile grew on her face as she looked at Gar, but it quickly fell.

"I...I have to tell you something." Rachael said as she sat on a bench that was on the side of the trail.

Gar looked at her confused and nervous and sat down next to her. "What is it?"

Rachael rubbed her hands anxiously. Nervousness ran through her like wild fire. Tears started to swell around her eyes. Gar saw the tears welling up in her eyes and hugged her.

"Rachael…what's wrong?" Gar asked her as he held her in his arms.

The tears started to run down her face as she stayed in his arms. "Gar..."

Rachael tried to get the words out, but couldn't as she started to sob.

Gar rubbed her back and consoled her. Worry washed over his face as he saw the sobbing girl in his arms "Rachael…please. Stop crying and tell me what's wrong."

Rachael rubbed the tears from her eyes and quietly said. "Gar….Adonis...raped me."

The blood washed from Gar's face as he realized what she said. "Wha-…What?" Gar said as he brought Rachael's face to her.

Silent tears ran down Rachael's face. "Adonis raped me." She whispered.

Gar looked at her with confusion on his face. "But….How?...Rachael when!?" Gar said becoming angry.

"He raped me when my father kidnapped me. Gar, please! Please don't get mad at me! I didn't want to tell you because you would go after Adonis." Rachael cried as more tears ran down her face.

Gar sighed and hugged Rachael again. "I'm not mad at you."

"Please don't go after Adonis." Rachael sobbed.

Gar stayed quiet. He couldn't believe what he just heard. "I'm sorry Rachael…I love you and I'll make sure he doesn't come after you again." Gar thought as he rubbed Rachael's back.

Victor and Richard walked down the street. They both were headed to Adonis' home. Richard was going to make sure Victor didn't kill Adonis.

"I can't wait to get my hands on his neck and just strangle him" Victor said with anger.

"Don't kill the fool. You'll go to jail."

"Right now, jail is worth it."

The two both headed to Adonis' house. They saw that neither of his parents were home.

"Sweet. I can kill him and his parents would never know it was me." Victor said with a smirk.

Richard pulled Victor. "No way are you killing him! You know I can't lie to the police if they interrogate me."

Victor rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. I know that you can't lie to your superheroes."

"Hey, I might become a police officer one day." Richard said defensively.

Victor rolled his eyes again. "Yeah…might."

Victor started to walk towards the front door. He raised his hand to knock on the door. He angrily banged on the door. Richard and Victor both heard someone walk down the stairs to the front door. Adonis opened the door quite angrily. He had a cigarette in his mouth.

"What do you losers want?" He sneered as he leaned against his door frame.

"What you doin' messin with Rachael." Victor said as he got in Adonis' face. The two large teens' bodies weren't different. Adonis had just as big muscles as Cyborg did. They both worked out and played in the football team. Adonis threw the cigarette onto the ground and rubbed it out with his foot. "What does it matter to you?" He laughed.

Victor became even angrier. "That's my sister you messin' with. That's what matters to me."

Adonis laughed even more. "I don't give a crap man. Have you seen her butt? Man, its fine and round."

Anger flared through Victor's eyes. He started to punch Adonis. Adonis flew back and started to fight Victor. They wrestled each other to the ground, punching each other. Richard ran to them trying to pull the two apart, but struggled immensely.

"Guys stop!" Richard screamed. "People are going to call the cops."

Neighbors started to open their doors and look at the fighting scene; some looked through their windows. The two strong men started to roll on the grass, fighting. They punched and kicked each other. Adonis' nose began to bleed. Victor had scratches along his face. They were just about to go at it again until Gar ran along the side walk. Adonis didn't see it coming. Gar ran along Adonis' yard. He pounced on Adonis in pure anger. He punched Adonis with hard blows repeatedly. Victor soon started to chime in. Adonis tried his best to block the blows with his arms, but he couldn't as he began to become disoriented. He tried his best to fight the two off. He stopped when he heard a click and sharp pain on his neck. He saw that Gar pulled out a sharp pocket knife and had it on his neck. His eyes grew large from fear and shock.

"HOW DARE YOU RAPE RACHAEL?!" Gar screamed as he put more pressure on the knife.

Rachael ran onto the grass out of breath. "Gar, no! Please!"

Gar ignored her and put even more pressure onto Adonis' skin. Blood started to pour from Adonis' neck. He started to scream from pain. Victor tried to get Gar off, but Gar pushed him away. Rachael grabbed his hand that held the knife. She tried to pull his arm away from Adonis' neck, but realized that it was causing Gar to make it worse.

"Gar. No! You can't kill him!" Rachael said as she tried to stop Gar.

"Why should I stop, Rachael?" Gar said as he turned to her. "He raped you! He's stalked you and wouldn't leave you alone. I gave him many warnings."

"Gar, if you kill him, then you'll go to jail for life! You promised me that you would never leave me!" Tears started to run down Rachael's face.

Gar started to ease the pressure from Adonis' neck, but Adonis seemed to be in and out of consciousness.

"Please Gar. Don't ruin your life because of him!...Please!"

"Yeah man, don't do it." Victor said as he put his hand on his shoulder.

Gar looked at Richard who gave him a re-assuring smile.

Gar sighed and took the knife from Adonis' neck. He dropped the knife and hugged Rachael. Tears ran down his face as Rachael hugged him tight.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you." Gar cried onto her shoulder.

Rachael hugged him tighter and didn't let go. "It's alright. It's over."

The cops soon came to the scene. Paramedics made Adonis stable and put him onto the stretcher. Mr. and Mrs. Logan drove in front of the home in the car. They immediately ran out of the car and ran to Gar and Rachael.

"Is everyone alright?" Mr. Logan asked as he inspected the four teens that were at the sight.

"Yes. We're fine." Rachael said silently.

"It's good to see that you guys are alright" Mrs. Logan sighed in relief as she hugged the four teens.

Adonis was whisked away in the ambulance. After being questioned from some cops, the Logans dropped Victor and Richard off at their house. Gar and Rachael sat in the back seat of the car. Gar laid his head on Rachael's shoulder as he slept. Rachael gently rubbed his head and sighed.

"It's over now Gar. It's over." Rachael thought as she kissed Gar on his forehead.
