Hero unknown

Chapter 2

SAM: To those who reviewed, I thank you. To those that didn't…why? Oh well. Anyway, thanks for reviewing! And now we continue…who is the mysterious figure? Why is Frida acting so weird lately? Why am I asking YOU all these questions? Lettuce find out….Oh, and this a song chapter. Someone sings one song in this chapter for those of you that don't like song fics. You can skip over it if you want. I always do when I'm rereading my stories…ONWARD!

Manny lay in his bed staring at the ceiling. He looked at the clock on his wall and saw that it was 2:30 in the morning. He pulled his pillow over his head and squeezed his eyes shut. He couldn't fall asleep. Not after all that had happened that day. Frida's weird behavior, El Oso with a ray, and that mysterious figure that had saved him…

Manny groaned and stared out his window. He watched the moon and concentrated on nothing but that until he felt his eyes start to droop. He kept staring at the moon and his eyes got heavier and heavier. Until he saw something jump across the sky. Manny's eyes flew open again and he ran to his window. He threw it open and stuck his head out as he tried to locate the figure that had jumped across the rooftops in the distance. There weren't any sirens going off (Surprisingly) so he searched even harder. Manny shook himself and put his hand on his head.

"Great. I'm seeing things because of this person." He looked up at the sky and at the moon again. "Who are you?" He thought out loud.

"My name is La Loba." Manny jumped and yelled in shock. He looked up and saw a shadow sitting on the ledge of the roof. The voice was quiet, but he could tell it was feminine. Manny climbed out of his window and made his way to the roof where the figure moved away from. He crawled on top of the roof from the window sill and rolled over so he could get up. He stood up and stood tall as he searched for the figure in the night. The moon was bright so Manny was confused that he couldn't see her. She stepped out from behind the door that led to the inside of the building, but only so much that he could see just half of her. Manny twirled his belt buckle around and transformed into El Tigre.

"Well La Loba, my name is El-" She cut him off.

"I know you are El Tigre. You are the legendary figure who knows not of whether he should pick good or evil." La Loba said still standing in the shadows. Manny stood there shocked. Then he realized something.

"Come step into the light. I want to see what you look like." Manny said. La Loba seemed taken aback at first, but she slowly made her way out into the moonlight. (BTW, for those of you that don't speak Spanish, La Loba means 'The Wolf'. I think. I'm pretty sure of it.)

La Loba was a beauty. She wore an electric blue top that seemed more like an over-sized bandana made to cover up her upper torso. On her left arm was a normal bandana, red, tied in the middle of the upper half of her arm. She wore a short skirt that was also electric blue and boots of the same color that went up past her knees. She had a mask on that covered all around her eyes and her nose that was red like the bandana on her arm. Her hair was the same color as her outfit, and was long enough to reach her boots. Her bangs were side swept and long as well. The strangest part of her costume was the dog ears and bushy wolf tail she had. Just like Manny had his ears and tail.

Manny stared as La Loba come out in the light. La Loba stood shyly and politely before him. Her hands were folded and her feet were together. She looked right into his eyes as he spoke to her.

"So, La Loba, what kind of powers do you have? I realize you are the wolf, but do you have something you have control over? Any sort of history? Anything that made you choose to be a wolf?" Manny asked. La Loba smiled a little.

"You have heard how dogs sing when they howl? How wolves and coyotes sing to the moon? It's like music. I can control and create music. Like this." She held out her hands and a guitar (acoustic) formed in her hands. Manny stared in wonder.

"HOW'D YOU DO THAT?" He yelled. La Loba giggled and motioned him to be quiet.

"Sssshhhh…" She said. "You'll wake people up." She held the guitar firmly in her hands and began to strum. Many took half a step back, scared another sound wave might come from the guitar. She looked at him and giggled again. "Nothing to be afraid of. I control it, remember? Right now, I'm just playing. I like to play la guitarra. It soothes me sometimes. I like to rock and play heavy metal too." She said. The acoustic disappeared and was replaced by an electric. "Listen to this." She said. She bit her lower lip and began to play. Manny watched amazed. Her style reminded him of something, but he couldn't quite place it. The way she bit her lip seemed familiar too.

"That was amazing." Manny said quietly as La Loba stopped playing and made the guitar turn back to an acoustic. She strummed quietly for a while.

"Thanks. With these powers, I'm a natural player with any instrument." La Loba said quietly. Manny thought for a moment.

"What about singing?" La Loba looked at him.

"I haven't really tried that yet, but I don't sing much." Manny watched her as she looked out across the city.

"Try then." La Loba looked at him shocked. She shook her head slightly.

"I'm not a good singer." She said softly. Manny frowned.

"When was the last time you tried?" La Loba thought for a moment.

"The last time was before I got these powers." She said thinking out loud. Manny smiled.

"Then sing. Sing your heart out. You can't possibly be bad if you have control over every bit of music in the world." La Loba smiled a little and he nodded encouragingly. She starting playing her acoustic and a set of drums appeared before Manny. He sat down and started the beat as she played. She closed her eyes, drew in a deep breath, and began to sing very quietly.

I've been awake for a while now
you've got me feelin like a child now
cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglies in a silly place

It starts in my toes

where ever you go

The rain is fallin on my window pane

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin shows
Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin me tight

Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever, where ever, where ever you go
Where ever you go, I'll always know
Cause you make me smile, just for a while

Manny had already stopped playing and La Loba smiled shyly as she opened her eyes to look at him.

"That was incredible! You aren't terrible at all!" Manny said. (Remember: Manny is still in his El Tigre form. La Loba is still wearing a mask over her eyes and nose. They both still have animal ears and a tail, even if Manny's isn't as noticeable as La Loba's).

"Thank you." La Loba said. She blushed and suddenly she turned her head towards the direction of Frida's home, the school, the police station, and the arcade (I'm just making it so that they're all in the same general area that she's looking.) "Ah, sorry El Tigre, but I gotta go." And La Loba made her way to the edge of the roof.

"Wait! I want to know more about you!" Manny said coming after her. La Loba turned back.

"Don't worry, El Tigre. I'll always be around." And she jumped head first off the 28 floor building. Manny ran to the edge of the wall and looked over. La Loba seemed to have disappeared. Manny went back and climbed back in his room confused and closed his window. He turned back into his normal form and crawled back into bed. He looked at his clock again and it showed that it was 3:30 in the morning. He pulled his pillow over his head and groaned. There was no chance of sleep now.


The next day at school, Manny kept falling asleep in class. Frida was tired enough to do the same, but she wouldn't tell why.

"Manny!"

"BRAZIL! DRACULA! COCONUT!" Manny yelled as he lifted his head quickly up. Frida sighed and got a napkin.

"Calm down, genius. You fell asleep on your hotdog." Frida said gently wiping the ketchup, mustard, and relish off his cheek and nose. It was lunch time and Manny had already gotten scolded by two teachers for falling asleep in class. Manny sighed, folded his arms, and rested his head in them on the table.

"Sorry." He mumbled. Frida watched him.

"Are you ok dude? You look…I don't know how to put it…" Frida puzzled over it for a moment. Manny lifted his head and yawned.

"I'm tired and confused. Is that what you were looking for?" Manny suggested. Frida snapped her fingers.

"You look confused and tired! That's what I was looking for…and you do. What happened to you?" Manny decided he could trust Frida.

"I met someone really late last night. It was the person that had saved me yesterday." Manny whispered. Frida looked at him shocked.

"You met him? What was he like?"

"First of all, it was a she. Her name is La Loba."

"La Loba? The Wolf? This chic is a wolf?"

"Yeah. And guess what? She can control music. She can make instruments appear out of thin air!"

"Get out."

"It's true. I saw her. You'll love this Frida. She likes playing heavy metal and rock."

"Really?"

"Yup. She's incredible. She has an amazing singing voice too. And I mean it's almost like an angel singing."

"Wow."

"Yeah." Manny was wide awake now just thinking about her. He stared at Frida as he drifted off into his little dream world. Frida looked up and saw his eyes glazed over staring at her.

"Dude. Earth to Manny!" Frida yelled. Manny blinked and Frida sighed. "Did you get any sleep?" Manny shook his head. The bell rang and they threw out their remaining lunch and headed to class.

SAM: Hm…I'm not saying anything. You have to. I don't want to manipulate your answers. The song was "Bubbly" by Colbie Callat. Idk, I just thought it would be good. But that's now your decision. Tell me what you think! You shall not see the next chapter until you review! BWAHAHAHA!!!
