Chapter 1:
Third Person:
Gear couldn't help but sigh as she ran a hand through her dark purple hair. After getting off the phone with Danny, she felt sick to her stomach. Her best friend from her old town- Jazz- was gone. She was dead. She lost her best friend. She couldn't wallow in self-pity though. Danny lost his the love of his life, his best friend, his sister, and his parents.
Sucking up her sorrow, she wondered if she warn the twins about the GiW- they were a bit like Ringleader in a way. Though she thought that the Guys in White were more dangerous since they lacked a very important thing- common sense. That made them dangerous, unpredictable, and spontaneous.
No, she shouldn't tell the twins. The twins had their own lives to worry about. Gear wasn't going to burden them with Danny.
She wondered if the alcohol store was still open... She shook her head. No, I'm underage and I quit drinking. I'm fine. I'm fine.
She kept repeating that mantra in her head before she broke down in tears- the first time she's cried in years. Her best friend was gone.
The least she could do was help the one guy that was her best friend's little brother and like a little brother to herself.
She owed that to Jazz.
Danny ran. He was finally in New York, and that was good. He would meet up with Gear and everything would be fine. But the bad part, well, the Guys in White were on his tail. He had been running from them since he had left Amity Park, and was sick and tired of them. They were so annoying. He couldn't get a full nights sleep, or a decent meal without them showing up a few minutes later. As a result, he was a bit thinner, and had bags under his eyes.
Currently, he was running from-guess who-the GiW. He was in his human form, so they had a bit more trouble in finding him, but they were surprisingly smarter than they let on.
He panted as he ran into an alley, and the GiW were forced to stop a second later. He peeked out and found that there were a bunch of superheroes fighting some super recognized a few of them. There was Captain America, and there was Thor, along with a couple of ones he wasn't quite familiar with.
The girl had on black combat boots, with black jeans tucked inside, and he could see the tips of knife handles popping out of both boots. She also had a black tank top with the white half of the Ying-Yang sign, and had white fingerless gloves, one of them covering her metal arm. But that wasn't the surprising part. She also had red-orange fur, claws, fangs, dark blue dragon wings, and a cougar tail. She had her long dirty blonde hair put in a ponytail, and even with all of the jumping around she was doing, her bangs seemed drawn to the left side of her face.
The boy, who he assumed was her brother, looked almost exactly like her, except both of his arms were flesh and bone. He had the same color fur, and dragon wings, but instead of dark blue, the were pitch black. His dirty blonde hair was put into a fohawk. He wore black combat boots and black jeans, like the girl, and had the knives as well, but instead of a black tank top, he wore a white shirt that made his muscles pop out. The logo on his chest was the black half of the Ying-Yang symbol.
"Ah, come on, Wrecker! You can do better than that!" The girl taunted the guy who was wielding a...Crowbar? What a weird weapon for s super villain.
"Animal, this is not the time around," Cap said sternly as he punched one of them in the face. Animal scoffed.
"It's just the wrecking crew. Besides, what about Creature?"
Creature stuck out his tongue as he kicked his opponent in the face, sending him a few yards away.
"I already got mine!"
Animal punched hers in the stomach, making him hunch over in pain. Then she grabbed his head and smashed it into her knee. When he was still standing, unstable but still up, she grabbed his crowbar and smacked him across the face, sending him and a few of his teeth flying.
"So do I!"
Danny couldn't help but watch as the so-called heroes fought. He used to be like that- full of energy and a drive to protect. He still had it, in a way. But not entirely- not when he had to stay on the down low and just watch his every step.
Besides, he had work to do. He had to find Gear. She was good at hacking- she could see where the GiW was and how close they were to him. She could even set him up with a house here easily- he knew she had the resources. Granted, not all resources were legal.
Animal looked over at Danny briefly as the sent of half-decay reached her nose and led her to him. She raised an eyebrow, what homeless kid smells like they're half dead?
Her twin looked to her and sniffed, smelling the sent. He crinkled his nose and followed her gaze to the guy that looked about their age, who was just standing there watching the fight.
Feeling conscious as the heroes looked at him, Danny kept his head down, using the black hoodie to hide his hair and face. Though his hoodie wasn't much of a hoodie, it was worn and torn. His jeans weren't in a much better state as well. He kept his head down as he walked away, well aware that the heroes' eyes were still on him.
Alex frowned as she leaned against the counter, her fist under her chin, adopting a pose of deep thought that had been completed with the furrowed brow. There was just something off about the kid. Yeah, he was homeless, but he didn't smell homeless. He smelled half dead, and that was something she couldn't explain. And she and her brother, Axel, were able to explain just about everything. It bugged her to no end.
She sighed and shook her head.
Wait till I tell Axel and Gear...
