Chapter 3

Curled up in his covers, Virgil was relieved at the night's rest he had gotten. It was a privileged one with all the Bang Babies running amok in Dakota. There was only himself and Gear to protect its citizens, but he enjoyed it. He felt like he had a purpose.

Still half asleep Virgil came into his kitchen in just a tank top and boxers, immediately collapsing into a chair. He was hungry, but the fridge seemed so far away at this moment. He couldn't even open his eyes all the way yet; he had wiped the crust out of them.

It was then that he heard a knock on the front door. Virgil looked up.

I must be imaging things, Virgil thought to himself. Another knock could be heard in the kitchen again. He rose from his chair and walked towards the door. Looking through the peephole he saw a pale, blonde teen jumping up and down. A bad could be seen on the ground nearby.

As he opened the door, Virgil let out a sigh. "Rich, do you know what time it is?" he asked.

Richie bound through the door, letting his bag fall next to the couch. "Yeah. Seven-thirty," Richie replied. "Why do you ask, V-man?"

"Because normal people sleep at this time. It's Saturday morning, bro," Virgil said, stretching his arms over his head.

"I'm sorry," Richie apologized. "But I'm just so excited. You know we're leaving for the concert today, right?"

Virgil walked back into the kitchen with Richie close at his heels. Richie made himself comfortable in a chair. Virgil was rummaging through the cabinet for glasses. He stretched on his toes. It wasn't far enough. Straining his ears, he could hear the faint noise of his Dad's snoring and Sharon's radio wasn't on, signaling she hadn't woken up yet. Out of his hands came purple electric energy that wrapped around the glasses he wanted. They arose from their places and landed in front of Richie and the spot that Virgil wanted to sit in.

"Yeah, I know. I'm excited too, but you're crazy," he said to his friend. Looking in the freezer Virgil decided orange juice would taste good this morning. "Orange juice okay?" he asked.

"That's fine," Richie said, tracing his finger around the rim of the glass. "Hey, why are you up this early?" With the help of Virgil's powers, the orange juice magically poured itself and was placed back in the fridge after the glasses were full.

"I didn't go out on patrol last night," Virgil replied after taking a swig of orange juice. "Did anyone cause any trouble?"

"Backpack didn't trace anything," Richie answered. "But I did manage to find out some interesting stuff for when we meet Danny Phantom. You see, here I interlaced traces of what's called ectoplasm…" he began.

"Wait, when," Virgil interrupted. "I thought he was more of an if."

"Well, I was thinking about it last night and I came up with three superhero teens in one small town have to meet somehow. So when we do meet him, we should be prepared. You know, like an ambassador?" The shine in Richie's eyes was unmatched by any diamond. Virgil could tell Richie was excited about this.

He took one last gulp of orange juice and laughed at his friend's excitement. "Ok, I'll let you have your moment," Virgil said to him. "Hey, give me a minute. I told my pops we were leaving by nine. I thought we could take natural energy to get there. You know, a little super powered energy?" he said playfully.

Now it was Richie's time to laugh. "I'll just grab some food and meet you at the gas station," he said to Virgil. The African American ran up the steps. The sound of running water told Richie that Virgil hoped to take a shower before they left. His Static gear was at the station, so getting ready wouldn't be a problem.

Richie slipped through the front door. He grabbed his bag once again and hopped on his ever-faithful scooter towards their gas station.


Virgil met him about thirty minutes later. His hair was still a little damp, but a nice fly through the country would soon fix that. He donned his Static gear; Richie was already in his Gear uniform.

"Do you have everything packed?" Virgil now as Static said.

"Yep," Gear replied. "Just putting the finishing touches on a few things I thought we should bring for our encounter."

"See, that's why you're my best friend," Static said, patting Gear on the shoulder. "You make things and I'm your little test rat."

"If you want to put it that way, then yes," Gear said smiling. He fiddled with his machine then announced, "And done!" He placed it into his bag. "I'm ready when you are."

Static opened the door with his powers and motioned for Gear to lead. "After you," he said.

He bowed before his electrically powered friend. "Why thank you!" he said. Static walked after him, locking the door on his way out.

They flew through the sky, chatting loudly. A purple haired teen in red sweats ran into the alleyway. "Static and Gear look excited to go somewhere," Shiv said to the shadows.

The darkness swirled around him and formed a human shape known as Ebon. A feathered girl known as Talon flew out of the ending swirls behind Ebon. "Well, then," said the dark figure. "We should follow them then." With that said, Ebon melted into his swirling darkness and headed in the direction Shiv said Static and Gear were headed.
