Cmdr. Gen. Marasco! Thank you for letting my use Hannah and Jake! HANNAH AND JAKE ARE NOT MINE! They're Cmdr. Gen. Marasco's. And I switched up Jake and Hannah, too if you don't mind. Also, I hated doing this chapter. I don't like it at all. But this is a filler chapter. Cloak and Dagger did fight the Runaways and promised to help them out, but as you know, the Pride erased all memory of the Runaways. Anywho, enjoy!

"The Hostel"
3:35 A.M.

"Pull it out!" Alex ordered.

"What the hell do you think I'm doing!" Talkback shouted as he yanked at the staff that was still in Miracle's stomach. "It's not budging!" He was trembling; sweating even. His eyes were slightly watering and he swore that he was going to have a panic attack. God, he was such an idiot. If only he hadn't let Topher make his damn move on him.

"Move!" Bruiser exclaimed as she shoved Talkback out of the way and grabbed a hold of the Staff. She yanked at it, but again, it didn't budge. "It's really stuck in there! I-I can't get it out!"

"Nico, pull it out now!" Alex ordered.

"But, I don't have the strength!" Sister Grimm cried.

"Use a spell, stupid!" Arsenic derided.

"I don't know a spell for it!"

"Get Out." Talkback said as he gripped the Staff Of One. It popped itself out of Miracle's stomach, causing her stomach to heal up automatically.

"Oh my god." Sister Grimm whispered.

"Is she…?" Lucy placed her hand on her mouth.

Abruptly, Miracle coughed up blood and gasped for air. She sat up quickly and checked her stomach, her shirt had a hole in it, but her wound was completely healed.

"TRINI!" Sister, Lucy, and Bruiser shouted as they hugged her.

"You're alive!" Arsenic cried as her face slightly brightened up.

"Y-yeah." Miracle was astonished as well. "H-how? And what happened to Topher?"

"Karolina killed him." Talkback said as he calmed down.

"I didn't kill him!" Lucy exclaimed. "He bit me and died!"

"What?" Miracle blinked. "How?"

"Her skin is Solar powered. And Topher had said that only the sunlight kills him." Sister Grimm explained.

"Oh," Miracle blinked.

"But how are you alive?" Alex said it as if he kind of regretted her living.

"I don't know, maybe because she's an angel?" Arsenic answered. "Didn't we discuss this already?"

"Seriously," Talkback spat as he turned around.

"Then why were you all worried?" Alex pressed.

"Because what if she stays dead long enough to the point where she won't come back?" Lucy defended.

"I thought you couldn't kill an angel?" Alex crossed his arms.

"OKAY!" Miracle shouted. "Could we not have this discussion. I think the rest of us would be better off, you know, asleep?" She pushed herself off the rubble she had been pinned to. "I'm completely out of energy and I can't even think straight right now."

"She's right." Sister Grimm agreed. "I think it's best if we all got some sleep. It's been a long night."

The group agreed as they nodded and headed off into their separate rooms.

Three Miles Away From "The Hostel"
4:02 A.M.

"They killed Topher." Hannah whispered as she gripped her fists. "They murdered him."

"Hey, look on the bright side, at least we don't have to follow his orders anymore." Jake Hunter shrugged with a smirk.

Hannah spun around and clocked him right in the jaw. "You idiot!" She cried. I loved Topher! He gave us everything! And you're happy he's dead!"

"Ouch." Jake rubbed his jaw. "Chill, would you? I was just joking."

"You don't joke about that!" Hannah snapped. "We're going to find who did this and end them."

"Sweet." Jake hopped of the bolder he was sitting off. "But, first question."

"And that is?"

"Do you know where the hell are the kids who killed Tophe?"

Hannah rolled her eyes. "Do you know anything?"

"You don't have to be rude, you know." Jake pouted.

Hannah sighed. "Let's just go."

"The Hostel"
10:33 A.M.

"I told you we're out of money!" Alex shouted at Bruiser, who kept bothering him about food.

"But I'm hungry!" She whined. "I only ate a burrito and Miracle ate all the other food!"

"I was hungry, too, you know." Miracle defended. "Besides, we're not out of money."

"Oh, that's right, because you can magically pull money out of your ass." Talkback rolled his eyes.

"Not out of my ass." Miracle said. She clasped her hands together and rubbed them three times. She then unclasped them to show the small wad of cash in her hand.

The group gasped.

"How the hell did you do that?" Arsenic asked.

"I found that out this morning when I was trying to make a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich appear in my hand. Turns out, I can't make food, but I can make money!"

"Wicked!" Talkback praised. "Now let's go get something to eat!"

"In broad daylight?" Alex intervened. "We can't go out in the middle of the day where our face are everywhere."

Miracle rolled her eyes. "Relax, the other day I went flying around and found out that there's this bad part of town in Los Angeles where all the wanted men go so that way they won't get busted by The Man."

"And you think it's safe for us to go down there?" Sister Grimm questioned.

"Well, we don't have to go inside the stores, you know. Just walk around, I'll go inside and get some food and we can jet." Talkback answered.

"Yeah! How's that work out?" Miracle smiled.

"I'm fine with it." Arsenic shrugged.

"Me too!" Bruiser agreed.

"Yup." Sister Grimm nodded.

"I'm down." Lucy In The Sky shoved her hands in her pockets.

"Then it's settled. We're goi-."

"No we're not." Alex spat.

Miracle narrowed her eyes. "Why not?"

"Because it's too early and you wanna take us to the bad part of Los Angeles! I think getting stabbed or shot is way worse than our parents finding us." Alex explained.

"I don't know about you, but I'd rather get shot then have to be hauled into jail." Arsenic stated. "Besides, we're fine. If anything happens, Bruiser will take care of them. Or Old Lace."

"No, that's exactly why. I don't want Molly getting hurt."

"Okay then, she can stay here. With you." Miracle suggested.

"Not happening." Alex denied. "I say she stays with Arsenic."

"Again! No way! I'm not staying back here!" Arsenic denied.

"I'll stay with her." Lucy In The Sky stated.

"Why do I have to stay!" Bruiser snapped.

"Because Alex is an over protective prick." Miracle mumbled.

"I heard that!" Alex snapped.

"We'll bring you some food back, Bruiser." Miracle winked. "I promise."

East L.A.
12:12 P.M.

"Fuck this, I'm locking my doors." Talkback snapped as he pressed the lock button on his doors while passing by a group of gangs that were glaring at him.

"Yeah, because someone's gonna steal this pimpmobile." Arsenic cocked a brow.

"This is East L.A., Arsenic. There's more stabbings and drive bys then there is more Hollywood actresses!" Talkback exclaimed. "Way to take us to worst part of town, Miracle!"

"Oh, I'm sorry we can't eat at an Olive Garden!" Miracle spat. "This is the only place we can go and not be arrested."

"No, but we can get shot." Arsenic nodded.

"Look, Talkback and I will run in there, grab some food and run out." Miracle said as she pointed at the gas station where all the gangs were at.

"Are you insane?" Sister Grimm asked.

"Maybe." Miracle smiled. "Now pull over, Talk."

Talkback sighed and pulled over; getting out and locking the doors. Miracle jumped out the back and slammed the doors shut. She followed Talkback towards the entrance, but not before getting a couple of whistle and Whoots. Talkback growled and grabbed Miracle's wrist, pulling her inside the store.

"Whoa, what was that all about?" Miracle asked as she followed him down the aisles.

"I don't like the way they look at you." He said simply.

"What do you mean?"

"I know what they're thinking about." He grabbed a couple bags of Doritos and some salsa. "Pigs."

"You don't need to get all on the fence about me, Chase."

"Yes I do." He sad coldly as he grabbed some sodas from the back.

Then she felt it. Heartbeats racing until they stopped. She heard screams and cries. She grabbed Chase's shoulder.

"We have to go." Her voice was frantic.

"Wait, Molly said she wants-."

"Chase, we have to go." She said again harshly.

He turned around. "Why? What's wrong?"

"Something's here!" She shouted. Just as she did so, Alex came flying through the doors, lading on his back.

"ALEX!" Sister Grimm cried.

"Oh, shit!" Talkback yelped as he ran towards the doors. Miracle raced to Alex.

"What the hell happened?" She asked as she pushed him up.

"Those…people…" He groaned as he tried to sit up. "They're Topher's minions."

"What?" Miracle blinked.

Outside
12:15 P.M.

"You killed my boyfriend!" The blonde girl shouted as she ran towards Sister Grimm. Sister pulled her staff up to block the girl's hit.

"Well, I hate to break it to you, but he was a two-timing asshole!" Sister spat.

"Liar!"

"I don't know," The boy said as he moved slowly towards Arsenic, who was being covered by Old Lace. "I think I'd believe them. Topher was an ass."

"Shut up, Jake!" The blonde girl shouted as she tried to get another hit.

"I'm only here 'cause I'm hungry." He turned to Old Lace. "I wonder what Dinosaur blood tastes like."

"Like shit!" Miracle shouted as she flew towards Jake, stomping him in the face.

"Nice," Arsenic nodded.

"Thanks, I was-Ah!" Jake tackled Miracle to the floor. He pinned her down.

"Can't really get out of here can you?"

"I can." She smirked as she allowed her body to phase through the ground.

"What the fu-?" Talkback suddenly came around and clocked Jake in the face with his Fistigons. Jake fell to the floor. But still tried to get up.

"Burn." Sister Grimm called. The hoodie that the girl was wearing suddenly was thrown down, the sun causing her face to sizzle. She screamed and bursted; turning into ashes.

"HANNAH!" Jake cried.

"Don't move." Miracle's hand began to glow brightly, "or I'll burn you, too."

"Don't! Look, I-I was just working with her! I didn't care about Topher, honest!" Jake said as he waved his hands. "I swear, I-I never wanted to kill you guys! I'm just hungry!"

"But you were trying to kill us." Sister Grimm growled.

"Y-yeah because I was following her orders!" Jake said quickly. "Please, I-."

"COPS!" Miracle interrupted as she heard the sound of the sirens coming close. "We need to run now!"

The group quickly turned to the van and moved. Alex far behind but was still moving along.

"Can I come with you guys?" Jake asked frantically.

"No way in hell!" Talkback shouted back.

"Yes!" Alex answered.

"WHAT!" The group shouted.

"We need to question him!"

"No we don't!"

But it was too late, Jake was already in the van sitting in the back.

"Why the hell did you let him with us!" Miracle snapped. "We don't need to question him on shit! I think you want to get us killed!"

"No that's not it at all!" Alex turned around in the passengers seat. "Why do you constantly question me!"

"Because lately you've been making stupid decisions lately, Alex!" Miracle pointed. "I swear, if this asshole attacks us in our sleep, I'm throwing you at him!"

"Miracle, relax!" Sister Grimm put a hand on Miracle's shoulder. "You need to stop and at least trust Alex. Why do you have trouble with that?"

"Because I don't!" Miracle said out loud. "As much as you all trust Alex, I don't!"

Sister Grimm narrowed her eyes. "You're insane."

"No, she's not." Talkback said as he drove.

"Look, guys, honestly, Topher was my master. He turned me when I was only seventeen…back in 1907. I was sick with Tuberculosis. He came and turned me, but only if I followed him for the rest of my life. Hannah was another one he turned. She was infected with the rabies and he turned her, too. So we followed Topher. We didn't want to do a lot of things he told us to do. But after a while, we didn't care. We just stayed out of the light." Jake shrugged. "Once Hannah found out you guys killed Topher, she wanted to come and kill you. I didn't care. She said that I could eat something and I agreed. I didn't really think you guys were kids."

"Yet you still attacked us." Arsenic crossed her arms.

"Well, because I was hungry!" Jake cried. "I hadn't had anything to eat in six months! I've been living on human food and that does absolutely nothing!"

"Yeah right, Vampi-."

"He's telling the truth." Miracle interrupted.

"How do you know? I bet he doesn't have a heartbeat." Talkback called.

"No, he doesn't. But he's not as powerful as Topher. So I can read his mind. He's telling the truth." Miracle nodded.

"So we can trust him?' Alex inquired.

Miracle crossed her arms. "I didn't say that."

"The Hostel"
1:254 P.M.

"Are you sure I don't have to kill him?" Lucy In The Sky asked as she reached for her bracelet.

"Not now at least." Miracle assured. "Wait until he does something he's not supposed to."

"So you don't have powers?" Bruiser blinked as she glared up at Jake.

"Uh, other than super-speed, regeneration, and super strength, nothing." Jake shrugged.

Bruiser narrowed her eyes. "Are you like Topher?"

"No." Jake shook his head.

"Then why do you have your bottom lip pierced like him?"

Jake looked to the side. "It's the trend, Kid. Why not?"

"Are you gonna kill us?" Bruiser asked skeptically.

"No."

He was telling the truth. Miracle's face softened. Maybe he was a good person after all.

"Why is he with us, really?" Sister Grimm asked Alex as they sat at the steps.

Alex shrugged. "Well, we killed the two people that are close to him, when we had him on the ground he didn't attack us, and Trini said he wasn't lying about anything he was telling us. Besides, we could use another boy."

"So, he's on the team?"

"As long as he doesn't kill us, yeah."

"I don't trust him." Talkback crossed his arms on the couch; sitting next to Arsenic and Old Lace.

"Yeah, you and everyone else in this joint." Arsenic stated.

"Seriously," Miracle said as she plopped down next to Arsenic. "And you wonder why I don't trust Alex."

"Why don't you trust Alex?" Arsenic asked; looking in Miracle's direction.

"Hey, guys, I'm gonna go outside. It's pretty stuffy in here." Alex announced; making his way to the exit of the building.

"I'll come, too." Sister Grimm smiled.

"No, no, Nico." Alex denied. "I have to use the bathroom."

Miracle narrowed her eyes; feeling the lie that slipped through his teeth.

"Because he tends to bend the truth."

Please don't get mad at me for killing Hannah, Cmdr. Gen. Marasco. No hard feelings? The fight sucked and I made Jake a member to suddenly. But I had writer's block with this one and just wrote a whole bunch of shit down. Anyway, REVIEW PLEASE!
