Hey there Dravenites, guess who had three night shifts? If you guessed me, you're right. SO anyway, welcome to my first Thundermans story. Before we get into it, as per usual, some background info for you guys.

This, as usual deviates from the main timeline, because I'm not finished with the series yet.

If Thundercest upsets you, you may want to turn back now.

Also, enjoy!

Secrets. Something everyone has. Whether its something small like enjoying Justin Bieber or something more major, like being in love with a superhero. One who you're related to, one who's in fact your twin sister.

For Max Thunderman, that was his reality. For the last 3 years he had been headover heals for his twin sister. He had no idea why though, this was the kind of feeling you joked about but never acted on. Sure she was pretty, nice and smart, but why did he like her like this. This wasn't natural, he knew supervillains did bad stuff, but feeling this way was just a smidge too far in his opinion. Dark Mayhem would look at him and wonder if Max was too evil.

He couldn't help himself. In school or at home he couldn't help but look at her gorgeous brown eyes, the way her eye twitched a little when she laughed or smiled and how she could easily make him confess to everything. Screw being a superhero, law enforcement seemed like it'd be a good fit for her, career wise. At school he would try and avoid talking to her as much as possible to avoid having to have a conversation with her. And at home he would spend even more time in his lair to avoid talking to her. And it was just making things worse. Not only was he coming off as a massive prick, but his love for her just grew stronger. Maybe he should just get a lobotomy, no, those were too expensive and risky.

He couldn't tell her how he felt. Not only would it make him the laughing stock of Hiddenville, but the damage it would cause to their entire family's dynamic. Every time he saw any of his relatives they'd say stuff like '' there goes the creep'' or '' hey look, Phoebe's secret stalker is up''. Also, he and Phoebe were basically besties in some ways. If he told her how he felt and she didn't return it, he'd be crushed.

Nope, he only had one option, bottle up his feelings and become a bitter and cynical Twitter user commenting on what female fishermen should be called and how all prayers needed to end with a-them instead of amen.

Right now however, he found himself scrolling through family pictures on his computer, zooming in on his crush, a smile crawling onto his face, not his usual smirk.

'' Max-

'' Gah! Colosso, are you trying to give me a heart attack?'' Max gasped looking at the fluffy white bunny near him, who had just piped up.

'' Hey, don't let your guard down around me kiddo. Now, what's the deal?''

'' I can't tell you'' Max sighed as he got up and walked towards his mentor's cage.

'' Oh come on, please? How can you say no to this face?'' the rabbit cooed, blinking rapidly.

'' No'' Max deadpanned.

'' Maximus Octavius Thunderman. What're you hiding?'' the rabbit asked.

'' Nothing.''

'' Oh, please, I'm a villain, I know lying when I see it. Now spill!''

'' Or what?''

'' Or, I'll post that video I took of you singing One Direction's greatest hits in the shower all over the internet.''

'' What? I don't, know what you're talking about'' the young teen sniggered.

'' They don't know about the I love you-s'' Colosso mimicked.

'' Ok fine, I'll tell you. Just please…don't post that.''

'' Goodie. Now tell me!''

'' Fine. I'm…I'm in love with someone.''

'' Ooh, a girl? What's her name and does she also have a subscription to Dictators of the world monthly?''

'' She doesn't. And she's…Phoebe.''

'' From FRIENDS? I can see the appeal if you're into blonde weirdos-

'' No. Thunderman, I'm in love, with my sister.''

'' Hold on'' Colosso went over a sipper bottle before spitting in his apprentice's face. '' Your sister?! Kid if you wanted to give your dad a heart attack just wait a few more years, his diet will kick in soon enough.''

'' I know, I know, this is awful. How can I even look her in the eye when all I'm thinking about is how much I want to kiss her. What's wrong with me?''

'' Well, did you suffer a recent concussion?''

'' No.''

'' Did that poison gas bomb made from jellyfish toxins go off?''

'' No. If it had we'd all have suffered respiratory failure by now. Let's just face it, I'm in love with my sister. My twin sister. What am I going to do?''

'' Have you considered a lobotomy?''

'' Too expensive and risky.''

'' I could slap you a couple of times?''

'' No, you take way too much pleasure in that.''

'' Baseball bat to the head?''

'' Too painful.''

'' You want me to get beaker of black mamba venom? I'll kill the house's cell service, you drink that stuff and no more Phoebe feelings.''

'' And no more being alive.''

'' Oh yeah, that part. Well, guess you'll be stuck like this. Time for my nap'' Colosso shrugged, shutting his eyes.

Max fell onto his bed. He wondered if Phoebe felt the same way as he did. That would probably be the only way he'd not think of himself as disturbed.

-x-

She did. Phoebe Thunderman would never tell this to anyone, especially her twin brother Max, mostly because it involved him. She was in love with him. How do you deal with something like this. It wasn't an easy thing to del with. Being able to look yourself in the mirror and say '' hey, I'm Phoebe, I have romantic feelings for my twin brother.''

It also didn't help that people had already started to catch on, more specifically a perky blonde who was right next to her right now in history class.

'' Hey there Phoebs'' she smirked.

'' Cherry, be quiet. Mr. Finkle's talking about the Civil War.''

'' Pfft, Civil Bore's more accurate. Spill about you and Maxxy.''

'' First off, ew, second of all. We're related. I can't happen'' the brunette said sadly.

'' True. Have you thought about becoming an online Karen. I have list of stuff to complain about in my notebook.''

'' Politically incorrect plays and poems, non-blind people owning dogs blind people owning dogs, managers with attitudes and... homework's too hard?'' Phoebe read. '' Do you ever take actual notes?''

'' Not really, they're hard.''

'' Ahem! Ms. Thunderman'' Mr. Finkle walked up to Phoebe and Cherry. '' I'm not sure why you're talking about our coverage of the gruesome deaths of the 19th century, but the class shall now witness modern history. Phoebe Thunderman, report to Ms. Carren's classroom after school. You have detention.''

'' D-d-detention? Mr. Tinkle- I mean Finkle, I've never had that before.''

'' First off, my name is Finkle, Richard, Julie Finkle. Not Tinkle. Second of all, I do not condone misbehavior. Just ask your twin brother who will be joining you.''

'' Max?'' Phoebe said both excited yet sad.

'' Yes. Apparently Dr. Wu didn't appreciate his little experiment in chemistry.''

2 hours earlier –

'' And that dear students is how one differs bosons and fermions'' an older Vietnamese man said. '' Now, for your first grade of the semester, in front of you is a collection of chemicals, I want you to conduct your own experiments. I have spoken to your next class teacher and he has approved my taking of your next class. Your time starts…now.''

Max, who had been grinning the entire time looked at the teenager next to him.

'' Psst, Oyster. Take a look'' Max pulled out a vile of blue fizzing liquid.

'' What is that? Blue soda?'' Oyster asked.

'' Pfft, Gd no. This my friend is my own concoction of some of the worst smells known to man. Sweaty socks, cat poop, rotting fish, farts and trash that's been in the sun for too long. Once it interacts with the barium Dr. Wu gave us-

'' It make explosion that level school?'' a black haired boy said from behind the pair.

'' No Wolfgang, its just going to smell horrible.''

'' Mr. Thunderman!'' Dr. Wu boomed. '' Your experiment. Let me see it.''

'' Alrighty sir. I'm conducting an experiment on the effect of liquidized aromas on the human sense of smell.''

'' Another fart experiment. I gave up an opportunity at Fermilab, to be a high school science teacher for this. Very well, commence'' the man sighed.

'' Ok, first I take this barium, about 3 spoons of it and add this'' Max showed him the blue liquid.

'' Is that-

'' Yeah, just potassium iodide'' Max interrupted.

'' Funny, I thought our department ran out of that last Tuesday. Ah well.''

'' In 5…4…3…2…1'' Max emptied the vial, the room beginning to stink.

'' Oh my Gd! In my 25 years as an educator I have never smelled something so bad, and I've been in the boys locker room. You dear sir are having detention for the next 3 days, now get out of here!'' the man yelled.

And now –

'' Hi, I'm here for…detention'' Phoebe shuddered as she entered the classroom.

An older black woman smiled at her. '' My oh my, Phoebe Thunderman. What'd you do, dot your I's with skulls?''

'' No Ms. Rothsky, I asn't paying attention in Mr. Finkle's class.''

'' That windbag. Alright, take a seat with the other people who'll be pumping my Elantra with gas in 10 years.''

'' Hey!'' a teen objected.

'' Quiet. Now, just…behave while I catch up on my operas'' Ms. Rothsky took out a laptop and plugged in a pair of headphones.

Phoebe took her seat next to Max, who kept as quiet as he could.

'' You ok? You're being quiet'' Phoebe asked.

'' Yeah.''

'' One word answers? Now I've seen it all.''

'' Look, honestly I think we should just get this over with.''

'' Seriously? Its detention. You once called it the only thing school ever got right.''

'' look, right now I just want to be silent ok?''

He's acting weird…er than usual. Does he know? Oh God what if he knows and he's told people that I like him?! Phoebe thought, doing as Max said.

For the next hour, the twins sat in silence, neither of them speaking. Max because if he looked Phoebe in the eyes he'd melt inside and Phoebe because she knew Max's temper was something to be afraid of.

Max, however, was feeling guilty. He didn't mean to snap at Phoebe, he just didn't want her to see that he loved her, if she did, he didn't even want to think about that.

Phoebe saw a note on her desk. Sorry I shouted- M. Curious, Phoebe looked next to her, Max still not looking at her.

'' Max come on this is ridiculous, you can't just not talk to me'' Phoebe breathed.

Silence.

'' That's it'' Phoebe, using her telekinesis, moved Max's chair slightly back that he fell down on his ass.

'' Ow! Phoebe!'' Max whined. '' What was that for?''

'' Talk to me. You've been avoiding me for a while now and I want answers. Why?''

'' I can't tell you.''

'' Why not?''

'' It's a secret. And we all know about your problem with secrets.''

'' Point made. Then tell me at home.''

'' What part about secret don't you get? I know something you don't and I want it to stay that way, oh and also'' Max breathed out sharply through the gaps between his fingers, launching a small icy wind blast at Ms. Rothsky's foot, the woman yelping in pain.

'' Alright!'' Ms. Rothsky stood up. '' Which of you delinquent- I mean….children did this?'' the woman's gaze locked on Phoebe. '' You, I thought you were better than this Ms. Thunderman. You're here for another hour. That should give me enough time to see if Ramone proposes to Maria or his side piece Ramona.''

-x-

'' Hey!'' Phoebe stormed down into Max's lair later that evening, not seeing her brother anywhere.

'' He's not here toots. Take a load off in the chair, tell your favorite rodent what's the matter'' Dr. Colosso said from inside his cage.

'' My favorite rodent's Bugs Bunny from the Looney Tunes. Max's been acting so weird. It started about 3 years ago but lately its been getting worse. You know he wasn't saying anything to me today during detention?''

'' Detention?! You? Bwahahahaha. That's a good one'' the rabbit laughed.

'' I'm serious fuzzbucket. Its like I don't even know him anymore. Like he has this major secret he's not telling me.''

'' Hey Colosso, you ready for the Mega Monster brawl…'' Max entered his lair, going silent as he saw his sister.

'' You! Why'd you frame me? And don't you start with the whole you can't tell me crap because I can tell you're hiding something and its killing you. So either you spill it or I'll cook Colosso like an egg.''

'' Hey! Go easy on me, I'm not as tasty as I look you know'' Colosso remarked.

'' Phoebe I-

'' What Max? What is it, unless your secret is that you found the cure for cancer, solution to global warming/ climate change or that you're secretly an android tell me now-

Phoebe didn't get a word in before Max crashed his lips onto hers, the kiss lasting for a good 3 minutes.

'' Do you-

'' I do'' Max laughed. '' For a while now.''

'' Was that the-

'' Yep, that's the secret. Guessing you either feel the same way or are in total shock.''

'' I do! I mean, yeah, I do'' Phoebe said coolly.

'' How long?''

'' A few months. Back when we were working with Mrs Wong, you looked cute in your tiny jacket.''

'' Aww, I'm cute'' Max cooed.

'' Don't start'' Phoebe laughed.

'' Ahem, lovebirds!'' Colosso said, the now couple looking at him. '' You two have a serious problem here.''

'' That we're twins?'' Phoebe asked.

'' Nope. I couldn't care less about that. Quite frankly I knew you two had chemistry. Its your mom and dad who you need to worry about.''

'' Oh right'' Max said, a sense of somberness taking over the two.

Ooh, what happens next? Thanks for reading everybody, hope your day's going awesomely and as usual stay safe and stay awesome!
