《Heroes Of 21st century !》
Prologue: I will be a HERO!............(this time for sure!)
My name is Simmon, Simmon Blake. I am 15 years old and right know I am falling down from hmm I don''t know maybe 2 to 3 thousand of height while some, some guys in some random mask carrying guns are about to shoot few peopleas I went in
and kind of interrupted his whole "Get us a car or else I will kill everyone in here" kind of a speech hmm where was he at again well it''s hard to see from up here but waitfew mins or secs I should be able to as it seems everything at ground is becoming bigger as I................,Well to explain why I am in this state to those interested I would need to fill you up with what led me here in such condition.............................AGAIN.
Well you see 3 years ago a strange meteor landed on our planet and released a strange blue
Energy, kind of.......thing? Well it passed through me as I was on my terrace and I felt something strange and yes I know strange this and strange that is not how one explains but I am no scientist and even those who are have been unable to tell what it was.
Well I figured out.........or more like "found out" that it changed something in me!, it gave me psychic power.
The power to cause rift in space up to specific range and create walls by changing law physics
and space manipulation,
to sum it all up I can create barriers by manipulating space! .
Latter unlike what I thought, not everyone got such powers and no reports of such came up.
Then one day at a place where some robbers held hostages inside a bank and police outside asking about their wants until a kid 12 year old showed up dressed up in a white overcoat and a mask showed up and ordered the armed robbers to come outside and surrender or else they may face consequences, such a brave.......idiotic, foolish, moron of a kid right?.
The robbers stared at the kid through the window with a straight face and then one of them shot near where he stood, the boy shocked out of his wits fell on his back pissing his pants and raising an arm in their direction while trying to say something in a crying voice,
"pro..........tec..............juc" he mumbled,
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
until a police officer came from behind and dragged him behind with one hand while holding a police shield in other, after reaching behind the cars started shouting his lungs out while asking the kid how exactly he got through police barriers in first place,
stopped after the kid just won''t stop crying his eyes out(wuss).
after the whole incident came to an end he took the kid to his home and lectured his parent about how careless they were and they lectured the kid about what in the world was he doing.
If you hadn''t figured out , that kid was me...................yup a 12 year old who went to fight crime and ended up peeing in his pants, got saved and lectured thrice, did I forgot to mentioned grounded to my room for 1 week and several trips to a psychiatrist.
But after all that I have made up my mind I will do what I want to do(well do not have anything better on my mind related to usage of my powers. ).
After 3 years I did all I could to find out more about my powers (really everything which Icould think of i tried)and how to control it and have a go at it once again and her I am!, falling to my death causing some people''s life in danger and most importantly my own at risk and..........well the ground is pretty close know,
so yeah....you are pretty caught up so excuse me while I try to save my life and those hostages as well while making sure not to mess up this time...........I don''t want to ever go to a physiatrist ever again!.

Chapter 1:Here comes the justice...................with a little topping of revenge!
Author''s note:well here is the second chapter !
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Iwas barely 40to 30 feet above the ground I activated my "Repulsion Barrier",creating a blue semi transparent sphere around mearound me, stopping 10 feet in air(flying would be asimple way describing it)and prevented my fate of having the honors of turning into a squashed bug on a windshield! As Iwas flying in the air It seems other than some of the masked robbers inside the building and phew cops and people far away no one has noticed me hovering above the scene, especially not the one who sent me flying.
A big,8 feet tall, walking muscle with nobrain, who happensto be (thoughhard to believe) a "human¡±, also known as "Butcher Berry¡±, He is walking around in front of bank''s gate in middle of an open town squarethreatening to kill people inside while cops have their guns all pointed at him, from the news it seems he is bullet proof, well almost.
Oh yeah remember Isaid when not everyone was infected by that wave of .........................something, well for first half year no such news came until one day some robbers started showing up with inhuman strength and someanimals who were well.............SUPER CREEPY.
It seems people other than me were infected and one of them had power to mutate others making them super powerful and loyal it seems, no matter what policies tried they never told any names and some even seems to die within a day or hourof arrest. Well therewas also one more such person who showed up 2 years back.....................as a superhero.
He was well started offfar far far far far far far better than me!, fought criminals mutated or not all over the world!. Yes he had the most op power ever,"INSTANTTELEPORTATION ¡°!!. After that there were2 more thatshowed up claiming to be heroes and as a groupstarted earning a name until one guy showed up and ended it all, almost ended the whole world in process, responsiblefor the"BLACK HOUR" which almost destroyed the world and put an end to that teleportation guy it seems,
Since that dayonly one of the other "Heroes" shows up joined by somemore people with strange powerswhile the guy who ended the "Guardian"(yep that''s what he used to call himself),is locked in a giant prison called"" .
Ohh! it seems while I was babbling on and on about the past forgot about my present and by that Imean Iforgot the fact that Iwas still hovering........flying in air while the Butcher has finally noticed me.
He stared at me with eyes filled with anger as it seems I may have disrupted his speech once again as whole crowed and media''sattention is now focused on me............it seems he really likes people''s attention and hates having it taken away,
A angrynarcissistmusclehead..........just my luckyday!.
"Kill him" he shouted at his men who at his command started firing their guns empty at me which was not a good thing at all, as in order to stay up in the air Iwas using my "Repulsion Barrier",it''sone of the many kind Ican found out I cancreatein these pastyears, this one can repelanythingwhich comes at it with equal amount of force!(or at reduced rate if Iwant), so Iwas using it ina quitecomplex way, as Iwas at its center it isrepellingme from all sides with equal force with me at its center(it didn''tkill me asI reduced the rate at which it puts force on meon me and Ihave enough air inside to last quite some time).So take that into consideration and think if people startedfiringat me all of thesudden what would happen, the bullets gotrepealedand went back in wild direction while someendeduphittingthe flat(almost flat)part of theof the barrier went straight back towardsbuilding, good thing people were on the other side sobarelyany bullet went their or cops direction.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
Somestoppedshooting while others did too once they were out of bullet,staringat me indisbelief while butcher staring right at me....................if looks could kill this guy justperformeda overkill!.
"You littlepieceof sht-----!"before he could complete hissentence Ideactivatedmy "Repulsion Barrier" and activated my "ProtectorBarrier",pretty much my most basic and easy to usebarrier, forcing andmanipulatingspace to forma solid force I cancreatehard, dense(breakable if enough force is used),gold colored(nottransparent) barrier which is easy tocontrol,using that I created a cubeand divided it into several smallpiecesand shot them at butcher, hitting a him right in the face ,Bullseye!.
His neck jerked back at the impact while other bullets kept hitting him all over his body, for amomentthere Iwas worried that Imay have killed him, So what if he is evil, you are no hero if you just roam around knocking people head off!.To myreliefor well maybe bad luck he was standing theirunfazed from my attack, stretchedhis neck left and right and looked at me with pure bloodlust,
As if in an instant he was right in front of me with his fist ready to blow me off from the surface of this earth, at that every instant I activated my "Repulsion Barrier".
With a loudsplashingsound their was blood splashing out in the air as it went all the way back to those police cars at the back!,
There stood Butcher in front of melookingat me still while trying to figure out whathappenedwhile I also stood there trying to hold it in me and not puke my breakfast right then andthere.
OK Ithought at most his arm may end up breaking but this is.....................it was because I activated "Protector Barrier"instead last time that he hadmanagedsent me up flying to the sky, I am lucky he at least hedidn''tmanaged to break the barrier or else with thatstrengthI would havedefinitelydied!.
"You........I will smash you topieces¡± While saying this he smashed his head into my barrier and went flying back at those police cars in the back from the impact(sorry guys about your cars, not intentional but................try to understand?).
As Iwas still thinking how to stop him without killing him while alsorelievedto see that he isstarting to stand right back up with his head still intact and...................his arm slowly growing back astherewas somestrange mound of fleshinggrowingwhere his arm used to be! (Ewwe).
"GLIS. BRING OUT THE HOSTAGES!",
he shouted at top of his lungs while looking at me with a big grin at his face.
WAIT..WAIT..WAIT! PLAYING THE HOSTAGE CARD KNOW ,WHAT THE HELL, as Iwas shocked and worried to theextreme,a guy with spiked hair, geared up with all guns and you know S.W.A.T like stuff came outsidewith thehostagethey were going on and on about killing infrontof media, while some men went inside for others.
"KNOW LISTEN LITTLEWORM,YOU AREGOINGTO STAND RIGHTTHEREAS I WALK TOWARDS YOU!,AND PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE AND IF MY ARM GOES KABOOM AGAIN I WILL STOMP ALL OF THOSE HOSTAGES STARTING FROM HER¡± while saying this he looked at the girl thespikyhead brought with once again that evil, broad, irritating grin on his face!.
What do Ido, what do Ido, WHAT CAN I DO!.At this distant Ican''tcover her with my ¡°ProtectorBarrier¡± without it weakeningand if I do thatIwon''tbe able to make itstrong enough to stop that brute,¡± Repulsion Barrier"?,I can make only one of those and that too at this distant will be a first time, and he has more than just onehostage Igot to dosomethingbefore they bring the others!. Imprisonhiminside a barrier, but there are others with guns, follow hisadvice, NO, use other barriers......?.But some are still untested and short ranged ,Can''tlet people die, unlike last time it will be muchworse, worse at aWHOLEdifferentlevel!, and why is that the hostagevillainschose to kill is mostly a girl?,
{"A question which has been bothering me for god knows when, guessing it just avillainthing?"}
Yea good point there well........................WHAT THE @@%^?
{"Easy there buddy, don¡¯t wannago through tag system again!"}
Who are you and where are you...................am i about to be reincarnated or something like that because I am still not sure whether to die for that lady over there?
{"Just keep quiet and take care of this Muscle head will you?, we got the hostages taken care off"}
WE?,WHAT WE YOU TALKING ABOUT,AND WHAT ABOUT THE ONE OUT HERE AND JUST WHAT THE @@#^% DO YOU MEAN BY TAG SYSTEM>?.
Chapter 2:You wont mind if I cut off your head a little,Right?
Author''s note:Ok here''s one more chapter,I know this is just beginning of story but I have some exam in few days so will be able to do only one chapter a day at most until 8 may.Hope you Enjoy!
Still confused about who or what the hell that was,I need to do something about what''s in front of me first,the only possible way of saving that girl would be cover her with " Repulsion Barrier " but I can create only one of those, well I would be able to create other barriers(I can create 3 types at one time and divide them up to as many as I can) to protect myself but that''s the only one that could possibly the only one that can stop that brute and my strongest barrier as well,you don''t play a game with your trump card back at home!.
"I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER WORM AND MAKE YOU BEG BEFORE I CRUSH YOUR SKULL WITH MY PINKY!" while giving his victory speech,Butcher started walking towards me while swinging and stretching his arms(his destroyed one has completely healed) and getting ready for the show "That''s how you squish a bubble wrap with one feet".
"Ohh well here it goes"while saying this I formed a sphere of " Repulsion barrier " around the girl,which seemed to have worked while also activating my " Protector Barrier " but this time instant of a sphere I used it to cover up my whole body,
a trick I have managed to find last year,first creating the force like always,instead of giving it a shape I allowed it to be shapeless,
resulting in a golden flame like appearance and then directed towards me, it engulfed me and tada!, here we have a masked hooded Boy in a white overcoat emitting golden light from top to bottom!.
" Enchant:Armour " I shouted as Butcher and others covered their eyes,well before they could react I also activated one more barrier
" Sacred Barrier ", unlike its name,it''s the weakest barrier I can make as which is so insignificant that it could not even stop a fly but as i can feel my barriers as part of my body this should act as a radar so that once that big guy over there plays that instant punch to doom stunt again I won''t be unprepared!.
"YOU LITTLE STUPID WORM!" Butcher shouted as he saw that her hostage was secured under that same blue sphere which blew his arm off,
"I WILL RIP YOUR FACE OFF,GLIS FORMATION 7"after saying that he charged towards me with his fist clenched,the
moment he came within my " Sacred Barrier ",I flew away, getting out from his way resulting him in hitting the spot I was at and creating a big crack on the road, A VERY BIG CRACK, which kept increasing in random direction, cracks showed up on the Banks''s walls and in direction of where the cops were,leaving them startled.
Phew if I were even seconds late i would have been crushed to death!.
as I was celebrating about not being crushed,I felt a strange feeling,as if bashed my head with a steel rod but felt no pain.My
neck snapped towards right, for a moment i felt as if it would break apart but it seems it did no damage,well if you overlook the golden cracks on my face.
"Really?, a sniper!"I shouted as I saw that spikey head holding a sniper rifle aimed at me(which i think was what hit me!),smiling he once again fired at me,I barely moved out of the way as I once again felt that same sensation as another crack appeared at my chest(was he........aiming for my heart?) and then i felt that same feeling all over my body,as I managed to calm down and look it seems there were several others taking shots from all different positions.
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
My " Sacred Barrier " should have notified me about those shots but it seems sniper bullets are faster than my senses over my barriers,at least at close range.I started flying around in random direction at full speed while recovering my " Enchant:Armour " so that one of their shots don''t manage to break in and put an end to me as it seems even after flying around at my full speed,which is very high by the way,
as a prove dint i managed to dodge that instant death punch from Butcher didn''t I?,well I may not happen to be very fast but the speed at which I can control my barriers is extremely fast but even after putting that into equation they are still managing to get one or two hits by jumping around like ninjas at crazy speed while carrying that heavy of a sniper rifle and taking shots which looks in every imaginable way...........well IMPOSIBLE!.
As i was flying around fleeing for my life I forgot about my biggest problem at the moment only to be awfully reminded by him as he jumped towards me.BUTCHER MANAGED TO JUMP ALL THEY WAY UP AND MANAGED TO CATCH ME(My leg) 60 FEET UP IN AIR.
"PIKABU!" he shouted before pulling me by my leg and slamming me towards the ground.To be more acurate into the gound as I got hammered into the concrete,creating once again all those cracks and chaos doubled by where he himself landed,if it weren''t using my barrier as a armour,this would have been very painfull!.
As I was finally starting to get up,got fired from all directions as those snipers kept shoting that too at same points.Anymore of this and my armour won''t be able to protect me anymore.I quickly reactivated " Enchant Armour " and lept into the air to get out of their range only to be stopped by a giant hand which was know grabbing my head ,causing several of those golden cracks to appear on my face.In front of me was a GAINT of a man with that anoying grin on his face again while his one arm is holding me by my head and the other know holding one of my leg.
"ANY LAST WORDS WORM?"he said while trying to rip me in two very slowly!.
"Excuse me?"a soft joyful voice came from my left, both me and Butcher looked(me only able to move my eyes) in the direction of that voice and saw a girl(most probably around my age) dressed in black high school with a long kanata by her side,long hairs tied into a single ponytail and her face covered by scarf used as a mask looking at Butcher with such innocent eyes.
"You wouldn''t mind that I had to cut you a little would you?"she asked with that same innocent look,looking Butcher straight in the eyes,then all of a sudden everything went red and i was dropped to the ground, after clearing my eyes.........from blood,it seems i am covered in blood...while Butcher standing their still looking at the girl with both of his arm missing from the elbows and below,his arms lying on the ground and blood spurring out from them and him..........F!@#k,this guy is not a potato head.
"WHAT?,they will grow back right?"she said while closing her eyes making a smiling face(trust me you can tell even with that mask on!),
Butcher was just standing there still looking at her with a expressionless face.
"...............Universal cosplayer?"he mumbled in a low voice while still having that expressionless face,wait where have I heard that name before?.
"Yup!,here to stop the evil and fight crime!,sooooooo would you like to surrendering or I may have to cut you again"she said with that same eyes looking straight in Butcher''s eyes..................ok I may reconsider going to that psychiatrist lady again cause this is going to leave a effect for sure!.
Ok i hope I have managed to live up to those comedy and action tag until now once this fight scene is over can move onto others!
Chapter 3:You are not a hero!
Author''s note:Here comes another one.................you know i don''t know whether it''s after few chapters or what but can someone comment and tell me whether i am going right way with story or is it good,bad ,has a spelling error...............i am tired of refreshing page for new comments!
[th_0como.gif]
After few minutes of complete silence,Butcher finally seemed a bit normal(in his case it means even more angry and mad),
"YOU LITTLE.................I WILL MAKE SURE TO TEACH YOU A LESSON TO MESS WITH MISTRESS PLANS AGAIN!"After which all of a sudden his arms,STARTED BURSTING out of his wounds once again with that creepy mould like regeneration!.
"GLIS GET ME SOME TIME!"He shouted as he jumped great distance backwards away from....." Universal Cosplayer ".....yea she is one of those"HEROES",who use to show up with "GUARDIAN".From what I remember she shows around every time with some new cosplay and A NEW POWER!,YES sometimes she shows up shooting flames then next time freezing criminals to death and sometime..............."TELEPORTATION " as she did just now, vanishing from our site appearing near one of those snipers and slashed....wait !,she didn''t slashed but used her hilt at back of his head,phew!.
"5 min, I would suggest you to make sure to surrender within that time or I will be REALLY MAD!" she said as her expression became dead serious, as if she were another person!.
As she had finished her threat almost at the same moment that spikey head charged straight for her............What ?,whats with his speed?,its way too fast!.Not only compared to when he held that huge sniper but even faster than mister instant death punch over here!.
As he was just few meters away from her,she once again vanished and appeared at few steps away!.Now just like mister spiky head,all of those other snipers also started charging at her with knives and guns in hand a bit slower but still really fast!! and she just kept " Teleporting ",dodging all bullets and stab whilewhile also using back of her katana and hilt to make them unconscious if they got too close as if it was no problem!.
That''s when suddenly Mr.spiked Head charged at her at the exact place she " Teleported ", she barely dodged his knife and vanished again only to be assaulted once again by the other sniper,it seems as if they somehow know where she will show up next!.
Finally there she is after appearing all over the place from ground to up in the sky only to be attacked by the masked menace of stabs and shots aiming at her heart and neck at the center of all these masked sniping and stabbing ninjas,all of them coming at the exact same time ready to slice her head off,that''s when a blue transparent sphere formed around her stopping all her attackers and sending some of them flying and while leaving others who went straight with their knives with broken arms!(Did she just now copied my strongest skill and used it as no big deal!).
"It seems your five minutes are up!" while saying this she........she sliced the heads of the ones in front of her!,KEPT GOING AHEAD AND KEPT SLICING THEIR HEADS OFF!!.
She started " Teleporting " just behind those snipers and,as if cheese or god knows what,SLICED THEIR HEADS OFF!.After she made quick game of the ones near her,she used made a platform of " Repulsion Barrier " in wall shape at odd angles again and again,using it to hop around all over the place slicing the others and while there were some who like before managed to attack her by reading her attacks she would just teleport take care of them too!.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Once she was done with all snipers,Spiky head(who previously managed to stop right before she had that barrier up!) went straight towards her while she vanished again appearing right behind him going straight for his head while he managed to block her attack at the last moment (she may appear anywhere but will need to move after that to attack,one can block that if he is well...A SUPERHUMAN!).
"GOOD JOB GLIS"A loud voice came as a shadow started growing bigger where the two stood and Butcher appeared,he had his fist held high as he appeared above the two smashing his fist into the ground as both dogged by vanishing out of sight (one with his high speed!) creating a big.....shock wave which destroyed the ground ,the bank is crumbling down to the ground.......well at least it''s front portion and those police cars which got painted with blood and some of which got squashed by a giant falling on top of them! yeah they went FLYING from the shockwave!.
"It seems it was a waste of time to even think you guys would surrender!,well time for some chopping!"The girl said while raising her sword!,
"I WILL F!@3K@#g KILL YOU!"Butcher shouted while spik........Glis also got ready with his knife!.
"ENOUGH" I shouted,activating " Protector Barrier " and imprisoning the girl and Butcher in cubic shaped ones,while Glis seems managed to sense it and doge by leaping away and then charged straight towards me!.It seems the girl(Hostage,you forgot about her did you?) is at far enough distance know.................well at least as far as I could send her so time for some sweet revenge!.I had enough of a Giant Brute and Sniper ninjas for a day!,I activated " Repulsion Barrier " and spread it flat all around me on the ground, the moment he stepped on it,he was sent flying to the sky.
"Well, you can''t run in air!"I said while shrugging my shoulders(I was praying he really can''t!) and creating bullets from " Protector Barrier " once again and shot him several times!(He won''t die i have made sure of that!),he fell to the ground and luckily wasn''t standing up anymore.
"GLIS!"Butcher shouted while finally shattering the "Protection Barrier " and raised his fists to do the same to the one holding the katana girl,hoping to do the same to her too I guess!.before he could strike the barrier I captured him in a spherical" Repulsion Barrier " ,raising him up from the ground as he tried to break free only to punch his way through air(which is actually a bit limited but well i guess it will last long enough! ).
As I finaly making sure no more sniper ninjas or one super sniper ninjas or a big muscle head was trying to kill me or squash me with their pinky...........I sighed in relief,someone patted on my shoulder,
"You managed to capture Butcher and save the day!,good job and welcome to the world of " HEROES "!."the katana girl showed next to me congratulating me with those same eyes she had when she appeared..........making me feel sick! ,
I Pushed away her hand and slapped her in the face shouting,
"YOU ARE NO " HERO "!".......................OK I MAY HAVE ACTED ON EMOTIONS BUT................THIS IS BAD!.
Chapter 4:Prison In Basement!
Author''s note:Ok so I have corrected the font problem on previous chapter if any more silly mistakes are there pls do point them out................So here''s the next chapter so enjoy!
Right know i am flying towards........................god knows where while also carrying a Howling Giant inside my "Repulsion barrier",
while also having a spiky head trapped inside a " Protection Barrier "whom I don''t know what the hell I am supposed to do with.While also hopping that the Heads slicing super scary high schooler doesn''t feel too offended about that slap in front of all those people(cops,crowd and media!) and decide to cut off my hand(or head) a little!.
After that whole.........slap thing, I just turned and started walking towards the cops,failing to bring up the courage to turn and look at the monster whom I may have(DEFINITELY MUST HAVE!) OFFENDED).
"I WILL BE TAKING THESE TWO CRIMINALS WITH ME IF YOU DON''T MIND OFFICERS"I said in my "HERO"voice which I have been practicing for 3 years know!.you may wonder why the hell I would take these guys with me as I don''t think MOM and DAD who would not even allow me to keep a pet cat,would allow me to keep one INTERNATIONAL SUPERPOWERED CRIMINAL and his sidekick as a PRISONER in our basement!,but well from the news it seems police still doesn''t have anything to keep such guys locked up so mostly it is these "HER..........",people who take them away but from what I have seen,I don''t think that is a option!.
"Yea......that won''t be a problem........"he said while making a face as if trying to remember something,
"THANKS A LOT OFFICER"After saying that I went towards the all broken down bank,can''t leave it like that now can I.
" Remake Barrier " I shouted raising my hand in the direction towards the havoc while placing all my attention around the broken front off the bank and a lot of extra area around it to make sure any piece of the building which may have dropped a little far was also within my barrier,I had to focus for almost 15 mins to stabilize the barrier(this bank has 4 floors!) and then I maintained it for another half an hour standing there with my hands raised as the build was know starting to form back into its original state!.
Yes when I talked about my power I said I can manipulate space and TIME!,no I can''t bring back the dead as I tried that on a squashed fly,it was recovered to its previous state physically but was still dead!,And no I can''t time travel as I have only found the way to reverse the time of particular area(think about your blood flowing backwards inside your body!),not how to further increase it!,and can only speed up the reverse process by half so yea if something was destroyed 10 min ago I can repair it in 5,in this case the building was not destroyed an hour ago but just to make sure I kept going,resulting in the cracks on the ground to recover as well!.

"Can you do that for the our cars as well?"the officer asked with a hopeful face,still showing signs of disbelief,
"SORRY BUT THAT WON''T BE POSSIBLE OFFICER"I said with a with a straight face,In case of those cars I would need to do each one of them separately and even after that if some pieces of them fell too far away and were outside of my barrier it may lead to some problem in future! plus they were thrown off by the shock wave too far away so yea too much of area!.
"Well,don''t worry about that...............what were you called again!"so that''s what he was trying to remember!,
" " PROTECTOR " "I said,don''t wana be named by the media be named by the media something silly like "Golden boy" or "glittering hope!".
"Well kid thanks for your help"he thanked me with a smile and then bend slightly to the left looking towards the "Univ......"the girl with the katana and said"I guess you will be leaving now",I looked behind and she was still standing there motionless, looking at her blade,still having some blood on it and then slowly raised her head looked towards me with that same happy carefree look and those same F!@#$#@$ innocent eyes!, while raising her sword a little!.
"I WILL BE OFF THEN!"I shouted and quickly activated my " Enchant:Armour ",and took of with my prisoners(i am no tyrant or slave trader,am saving their lives in a way here!).
Darn what the hell am I supposed to do know,In 2 more hours it will be 7:00 pm and Mom will lecture the hell out of me if I don''t reach home in time!,shall I dump them into this river.........wait river,no no no! it''s the OCEAN! when did I reached above the ocean!,just where the hell was I going again!.
"It seems he really is lost"came a sudden sudden soft joyful voice from above!,
"See I told you,this guy is a total rookie!" came another similar voice but this time not from inside my head but also form above!.
As I looked up there she was flying above me with a guy in glasses who for some reason was looking at me as if a boss unimpressed by his employe?.
"Well I am telling you he will fit in!,Oh! hi there buddy would you mind coming with us for a while!,we would like to have a word!"she said while looking at me while his friend just looked in another direction showing his disapproval
I....................am gonna be lectured by Mom after all huh?.
Ok so he has time manipulation......what it is op?,no not at all.............ok maybe a little!
Chapter 5:A tour to the hideout!
Author''s note:I have been wondering if some of my chapters like the intro one need some changes as it seems many read the first one but then just went by............but i don''t really wanna change the story,I am like these characters! well hers another chapter!
Ok so right now I am flying with a crazy asian girl(seems like it,looking up close!) and a guy with glasses who.......well I don''t know what to say looks pretty decent but has that arrogant vibe,looking at me with disappointment every once in awhile god knows why?,have I seen him somewhere before?.
"So where exactly are we heading towards?"I asked as we have been traveling for a while now we should have probably come up long way from home!,
" " Network ",show our friend where we going" she said while looking at her friend..wait is this his superhero name " Network " what sort of dumb name is that?
{"At least it''s better than something as common as " Protector ", well here''s the map!"}
So it was you bac.................wHAT THE F!@#k IS THIS?.All of a sudden I can see a mini map at far off corner of my vision which........is for some reason very easy to control?.......and whats with these arrows pointing straight?,
{"Those are pointing towards our location,you know for someone who acted all goody two-shoe back there you curse a lot!"}
Well if you had to deal with a big brute and couple of sniper ninjas, some killer asian and a person who doesn''t care about others privacy at all,interrupting their inner thoughts again and again,you will go F!@# CRAZY!,
I was know starting at the glasses upon which miss.......ok fine " Universal Cosplayer "(why would a sane person come up with such names!) said in a giggling voice,
"No telepathic conversations " Network " leaving me out......well here we are finally!"man really what''s up with these guys naming sense.
{"You are o........"}
"Tell him to stay out of my head!"I shouted,if it weren''t for these prisoners issue I would had never come with these killers,man I still remember that " Guardian " guy going on and on about that they are just trying to help the people from what crisis has been occurring and in no way were they above law or anything,guess he really is no more huh?
{"WE ARE HERE"}
Sheesh!,no need to go sensitive and scream so loud in others head now!,READ OTHER''S THOUGHTS AT YOUR OWN RISK!,and by here you mean..................wait whats up with all this forest.Let''s see according to the map we are at........,
SOUTH AFRICA!,did I really traveled from all the way to England to Africa in less than one and a half hour?,After that we went downwards flying low among the forest,had to slow down as I while flying,in open I can go at full speed but in a forest full of tress not a good idea!.Gotta say it''s one heck of a place,lot more than just trees,its......
{"You can come here later for sightseeing,HURRY UP!"}
OK if I hadn''t made it clear STAY OUT OF MY HEAD!(was having a moment there!),we went into a cave under a waterfall which was sooooooooooooooo beautiful by the way!,got to bring Ce...forget it!.We went all the way into the cave which was really deep.Until I saw a light and saw walls,solid metallic walls,we were already inside some underground facility it seems!.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
The tunnel finally ended,leading to a big,gigantic hall filled with weapons!.Guns,Blades,vehicles.........is that a tank all covered up there!,just who the hell are these guys!.We went by those weapons and reached the end of a hall,where there was a uplifted platform having a wall of gigantic screens showing different news from around the world,a table full of different button,few livers and.........a guy sleeping with his head down on the keypad,drooling on it!.
"Hey " Dreamer " wake up man,weren''t you on watch duty! "Glasses started shaking him up while nutcase(yes I am not going to call them by their stupid names for sure) here went to the screen changed some channels on the monitor and just vanished!.
"Huh.........!WHAT,WHAT HAPPENED!"The guy finally woke up looking here and there for god knows what!,
"Weren''t you to keep watch!"glasses shouted,
"And that''s what I was doing IDIOT!,they needed my help!"he replied staring glasses in the eyes quite angrily,
"Oh!then.........I am really sorry!"glasses apologised while bending!,
"Dont worry I got there in time!,and brought others back too!"yay,the nutcase is back in the house and she brought company!,
at her side were two twins(australian),one girl and a boy(probably middle schoolers),then there was a tall muscular guy who had very strong Army vibe coming from him,(you know it when you see one!,plus he was carrying a gun and well was in uniform!),And a woman probably in her thirties,tall,long golden hair and very toned skin and quite some....................moving on!.
"Hey,how many times do I have to tell you to not show up and take me away every now and then,I had a report to take care of!"
the army guy shouted at the nutcase who just acted as if she was deaf!,
"What''s the deal, first Paul and know you,we almost had those guys sis,don''t remember calling any backup?"The girl from the twins ranted with a while making a angry face(it''s quite cute actually),
"Easy there Clare"The boy said while continuously staring at me!.
"Now,Now I guess it must be something important as you have all of us gathered here"It was the b....woman who spoke this time,now looking at me she continued " It must be about him I gusse ".
"Well here''s the deal I would like to add him to our group"she said while removing her mask,Woah.........no simply that''s what all is coming to my mind!.
"So " Protector " would you like to be part of our little group?"She said with those same eye expression and a add a really beautiful smile to that!.
"HELL NO!"I replied.
OK so the chapter might seem a little short this time around but well that seemed a good place to end it!,and I have been wondering that maybe I should stop using so much of color and stuff but...........wanted to give it a little bit of comic feel!.So yea gonna continue that!,open to advice though!

Chapter 6:Every fairytale has a Dark Side!
Author''s note:Ok so here is the next chapter,hope you enjoy!
"Great,Welcome to our team!"the nutcase responded with a slight delight!,
"I said NO,I won''t join you guys!"she turned to the others totally overlooking my denial,
"So does anyone has any problem? "she asked to others,still overlooking me shouting"I am not joining!" as if I am invincible,
"We can''t just bring anyone in here like that and ask....."the army guy said while quickly interrupted by the nutcase,
"So it''s final I guess!"She said with a sign of relief,
"LISTEN TO US DAMMIT!"we both shouted to which she simply waved a hand and said"But all you guys are saying are negative things and anyways what''s the harm?"at her abrupt reply the army guy just shrugging his shoulders as if this was already a lost case.
"No way in hell I will be joining a group of murderers going around calling themselves "HEROES",I said while pointing towards my prisoners"I only wanted to know do you have some sort of prison to hold them in.......ALIVE?",
"Is that guy alive?"the small girl asked with a confused expression,as I looked saw a motionless giant hovering inside the barrier all life less!,OH S@#t! IT;S OUT OF AIR!.
I quickly deactivated the barrier,Butcher dropped to the ground and remained motionless...........or so I hoped,he got up and ran towards me with his fist raised even before I could act he......stopped or to be more correct was once again was inside a barrier which just appeared out of nowhere," Repulsion Barrier "?. while the nutcase said in a her joyful voice "Quite some actor isn''t he?"while I was just standing there thinking what if she was just a min late...........
"JUST HOW CARELESS YOU CAN BE?"glasses shouted,
"SAYS THE GUY WHO FORGOT ABOUT THE HOSTAGE THEY HAD OUTSIDE!"I shouted back in reply,
"I........thought you had it in control?"he said while looking away.
"ON WHAT BASIS?"I asked to which he replied"Well you managed take down Butcher as if a joke and well thought you could just make that blue barrier of yours again?",
"I can make only ONE of them at a MOMENT!"I shouted again to which army guy started laughing"That''s not something you tell other,that to whom you think to be murderers and have rejected to join,even after they showed you their hideout"he said while looking towards the nutcase!,who pretended to not notice and simply looked away.
"Well if I knew that I would have added that to our plan and also if I were to know how careless you can be,would have never risked a person''s life on someone like that!"he said while making that same face he kept making all way here,the "Master not impressed" face!.
"Well at least I wasn''t going around slashing people''s heads off in name of some hollow justice!"i said while looking towards the one who almost made me vomit by going ahead chopping people off as if they were made of paper.
"What is he going on and on about," PUPPETS " is it?"the lady said while looking towards the nutcase with a..........pitying look,
"Tell me one thing what do you even know about them?"glasses asked me with a straight face,
"Well,people mutated by someone who are also extremely loyal to whoever that is,even going as far as committing suicide if caught.Pretty much modern day mutated terrorist"I recited all I knew about them from net and news,
" " Dreamer ",put room no.4 on screen"glasses said while moving towards the screen himself,
On screen appeared a room in middle of which there is one of those snipers sitting on a chair.......yes just simply sitting on the chair while not moving at all.....while crying and mumbling something it seems?,don''t tell me these guys are going to or have already tortured him or anything like that!(Creeps).

"That is one the " PUPPETS "and NO we won''t do such a thing,as it will be completely useless.Once infected
by..." Cursed Blood ",it''s not only powers what they get but also extreme loyalty towards their mistress which can not be broken at all untill they live!."
"Still waiting for a possible justification on on MURDERING them cold bloodedly that too in style" I asked while looking at the screen.
"Listen to this"he said while pressing a button resulting in a voice being played,
"MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS,MY LIFE HAS BEEN MEANINGFUL TO THE MISTRESS........",
"what is he................."Before I could complete my sentence glasses interrupted"He will die within within next few hours,it seems that''s the price paid for that rapid mutation caused by the " CURSED BLOOD ".George,that''s his name,used to be a retired soldier.Family,a wife and two kids,went missing yesterday,with his house filled with crops of his family,tortured to the limit before dying from pain."
I was still staring at the screen while he continued "While police is still searching for his whereabouts as a suspected murder on losse,I took the liberty of looking into his memories," PUPPETS " password was too simple "MISTRESS",in his memories I saw A girl probably in her twenties telling him that she will believe that his faith in her would be equal to the suffering he can bring upon his former loved ones,she kept smiling from ear to ear while he did what she asked while again and again looking in her direction to see if she was pleased!",
By the time he was finished I was just staring at the man who was still reciting that chant which was just........"If you don''t believe me I could show you his memories?"glasses said while switching off the sound.
"Don''t"I said,turning towards him"Is there no way at all to..........help him at all"I asked,
"We have already tried everything we coud....there is no coming back for them"the lady said looking towards the floor in a low voice,
"There''s gotta be some way to help them out,Isn''t Butcher here been rampaging for more than a year.............there''s got
to be a.."
"My brother"the nutcase interrupted "She told him the exact same lines......"Equal to your faith in me" "she said in a low voice while looking at the screen..........just looking with that same expression she had all this time,a smile on the face and that same look in her eyes...........,
F!@#!.
Ok,this chapter was once again I went ahead and wrote on what I felt,but ok it was a bit dark but as the title said"Every fairytale has a dark side!".
(Poor nutcase,I don''t like writing tragedies for my stories!.)

Chapter 7:I Hate Romantic Comedy!
So that''s why she........and I just.............I am a JERK!,but that at least thistells why she didn''t slashed me down then,was beginning to think maybe she was a M...,
{"How insensitive can you be,You JERK!"}
Like I said,READ OTHER''SMIND AT YOUR OWN RISK,But really I need to apologise,that doesn''t mean I am all ''OK''with their killing the ones which can''t be helped theory but still at least it isn''t something at the level to be called a Murderer(why not?,well justcall me a hypocritical man!),
"I am sorry about befo..............."before I could apologize got interrupted bythe nu...........,the " Universal Cosplayer ",
"Don''t worry about that"she said while finallylooking towards me,glasses quickly changed the channel"Let''s call it a action taken in heat of the moment and leave at that.........though you could have held back a little you know"she said while rubbing her cheeks"So,would you like tojoin our group,fight the crime,helping people and stuff?" she said while looking at me,
"Well I............."as I started speaking"Ok,Welcome aboard friend!"she said while giving me a smile!,
"No",
I just shook my head as her face clearly shows she still hasn''t giving up on playing oblivious to my rejection.
"At least tell me what you are asking me sign up for?.And how exactly did you got all of this stuff and this ,this whole underground hideout,Is that guy really from army?,Do you all have powers?,just how many like us are there out there and....."
"Wow easy there,just let me answer the simple things first"she said while settling down on one of the chairs in front of that huge...controler?....I guess.....while continuing"So first about this hideout and weapons,these were all set up by the first hero as you may have heard his name," Guardian"."she saidwhile others also began settling themselves on those chairs,no place left for me huh?,
"Wait what sort of a guy could set up such a place all own his own,was he super Rich?"I asked.....those chairsactuallylook pretty comfortable,I want one too!(If I join them that is?),
"Well hewasn''tsuper rich oranythinglike that,just really smart!".Army guyinterruptedher by saying"or really dumb,the first thing he did afterlearningthe basics about his power was to show up at our president''soffice!,told him how he got the powers from that meteor and how strange recentcriminalactivitiesmay berelatedto that and how he wants to help if not turned into a lab rat!"after hearing that I just stood there wondering"He really was DUMB".I mean yea I get that he could just "Teleport " away in case things go south but still!,
"It was his request which was even moreshocking,to get militarytrainingand this hideout where he can keep an eye on crimeshappeningaround the world!"he said while having aslightsmile on his face!"When hewasn''tgettinghis ass kicked at training kicked"at which his grin showed sign that he was the one responsible for the "ass kicking"mentioned,
"or was away foryou know school and stuff,he would keep on " Teleporting " around the world,saving people,fighting the bad guys.....you know the " HERO "stuff " ok that guy was ''something'' alright but as a side note to myself,should never ask this guy fortrainingbecausesomethingtells me it will be a bad idea!,
"Well he was something else,So yea we are freeloading at his hideout.....well he did ask us to,when we met and Idon''tthink he wouldmind.besides its Mr.Pal here who has theelectricityrunningsoit''sfine!"nutc......I need to get her name,well she said that while waving her hands as a gesture of ''it''sfine,it''sfine!'',
"that brings me to the question,who was it watching movies on the computers here,these are forsurveillanceonly,you do knowgovernmentkeeps a check on them right?"he said while lookingtowardsthe others!,
"Well it was new year and.........screen here are really big soooo"it was the blonde lady(don''tknow what else to call her at themoment!)said while trying to sound cute which....works Iguessbut Mr.Pal just gave her a straight face to which she added,
"I sent Suki to ask you outas wellbut you were at some Bar with your friend.....Some lady friend I heard....."to which Mr.PallookedtowardsSuki(Nice name!...better than nutcase at least!)who wasstaringat the walls whilewhistling,
"YOU"he said in a pissed off voice but decided to let it go,"So even if you are not going to be join us"as he said that,Suki sat straight and was about to saysomethingbut then looked atglasses who guestured her to wait and she left it at that,"there are some rules you need to follow or it will be a problem!.First using your powers on civilians other than for protecting them is not allowed"I justnoded inagreement,
"Second youcan''tgo around yelling about all this,peopledon''tknow anygovernmenthasanythingto do with these guys,so the higherups want to keep it that way!"I noded,so ifthey fall down theydon''ttake any blame...smart people!,
"We work in shifts here based on who will be available at what times so if you wish to ask us for help unless you are going to be fulltimerwhich I doubt, it will have to work according to who is here at that time!"I nodded..again!,"And yea if there are some urgent emergences"glassesinterrupted by saying"Which happens a LOT!"Mr.palcontinuedignoring that"You may be called upon at times for your help"I noded again,well ifit''sfor saving the world a little overtime will be ok Iguess!,
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"And lastly if you want to use any of theequipment in here likeweaponsand such you can,ONLY IF I ALLOWFORIT!,can''thave teens going around the world with rocket launchers for fun!"I noded again,
"And yeah!,does your power allow you some traveling cheat or else Suki will need to get you back home"Mr.Pal said whilelookingat glasses suddenly who for some reason found the floor veryinterestingto stare at!,
"Well I managed to travel all the way here from England in less than one and a half hour"at whichglassesadded"From Iceland!,you were hovering near Iceland when we found you!"at which I just looked at Mr.Pal who simply replied "That will do! Your poor direction sense helps keeping the place secret without any.... " he stoped then looked at me with a smile,
"Any Question?".
"Well what about these guys"I pointed towards the two hovering in the air behind me"Any place to keep them looked up as it seems they aren''t the 24 clocker types and so no need to UNALIVE them"yes I am a hypocytic,
"Well for the small one we have a prison but for that walking muscle....canyou not keep him inside that barrier
of yours?"glasses asked to which I simply said"YES and NO,as once I create a barrier it will remain like that until I deactivate them,but I can createonly one " Repulsion Barrier "and that''s my best move so,can''t go fighting crime with my trump inmy basement?"which was what I was going to do if Ihadn''tcome here!.
"Well that''s simple then"Suki said as she created several little holes in the " Repulsion Barrier "she had Butcher in while making sure that the force applied on him is equal form all sides so he remains alienated in the middle,why didn''t I thought of that!,
"That takes care of that!,I can have him locked in here as I won''t have any problem without this one unusable!"she said to which I felt like hitting my head into a wall,what is her power exactly?.
After that we went ahead and took them to the prisons.It seems the " Gaurdian " had a no kill rule unti necessary,so he would imprison the " PUPPETS "down here andonce dead,have a funeral for them(well just burned their bodies with some words,dint burry as no ones wants mutated dead coming back to life by some accident!),it seems thats somehting which is practiced no more.
After that we went tothe controller(the uplifted platform)where Mr.Pal told me all about the the place,Told me they already lmow my name and stuff as " Network " had a look at me before(that guy needs to learn the word "PRIVACY"),and went on and on about stuff important but boring!,he told me it will be necessary for me to get some training even if he I don''t join them to stay alive out there,while saying that he had a smile which told me that''s not good!.
After a long chat about some or the other stuff I looked at the time and told him if I didn''t reach home in time I may be grounded for a long time and there goes all this plans he was talking about!.
"Take care"Suki shouted as I flew my way out for the tunnel to the entranceof the cave,the waterfall and the forest at night were so awesome!,I flew my way as fast as I could with the help of directions form that mini map and arrows showing the way,it seems once the glasses hasformeda connection(as he described it),he can keep it connected across the globe,unless he is asleep(when the network is offline!...hehe!).
Once I reached my city I went to the rooftop on a high building where I had my clothes and stuff hidden!,it was already 9:00 PM,
god knows what story I am going to come up with.As I reached my home I rang the dorebell as Mom opened the door,before I could say anyhting I saw Cerys standing behinde my mother......CERYS!,WHATS SHE DOING HERE?,
"I will be taking him out for a walk Mrs.BLake"she said as she came outside and held my hand and pulled me away while I heard my mother shouting something like"Make sure to she reachesto her home safely!"...........WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!.
We were walking on the streets under the moon......ok not visible because ofall thesebuildings but anyway,it has been a long time since we went out like this....2 years....as we werewalking she pointed towards the park nearby,we use to come here a lot backthen.
"I wanted to talk to you about something"she said as we were standing by the swings,
"What is it about?"I said while looking at the cars going by,she still has thathabit ofagain and again tucking her hairs behind her ear.
"Well just wanted to talk....your injuries are ok now right"she asked while looking towards my legs,
"I am walking around fine,so yea I guess"I said,still staring at every car goingby,
"I guess, so when I reached your home,your mother said you were still out,so did youfound a placeto keep Butcher and that guy locked up?"
"Well it took some time but.............wait a minu....."Before I could complete my sentence I felt as if my inside were about to burst as she punched me right inthe stomach!,
"YOU A#$#@@E!"she shouted as she kept kicking when I was trying to protect my head and stomach while telling her to stop!,
"Ahh!,Ouch,Stop already!"I kept shouting asold memories were coming back once again,
EVEN MORE HURTFULTHAN BEFORE!
SO,this is my first time writing a love comedy section of story(or at least trying to!),hope you like the chapter!
Chapter 8:A Midnight Thearpy?
"You idotic idot!" she finaly stopped with the kicking and settled herself on one of the swings,
"what the hell were you even thinking going out there?"she said while sittting on the swing cross legged holding her head,
"I was just...."I was trying to stand up while she shouted,
"Trying to get yourself killed!,do you even watch a news chanel?"I decided it will take a bit more time for me to stand so i just lay down on ground,she didn''t hold back her punches....or kicks!
"The terrorist Butcher you were playing hero with has killed so manny that.....he almost got you too if weren''t for that creepy girl you would have not only gotten yourself killed but those hostages too!" she made sure her voice wasnt that loud,
"What was I suppose to do?it had been an hour since those guys had been at that bank and none of those HEROES" came too so I....",
"All this time I kept asking you what the hell was going on with you,I even stopped talking to you but you didn''t budged then that roof incedent happned,everyone said you attempted sucide "her eyes began tearing "I went to your place but you said you didnt wanted to talk to me,I actually thought maybe I could have been the reson." I stood up and sat on the swing next to hers as she went silent for few mins trying to stop her tears......she is usually not a crying type.
"BUT!" she finally pulled her tears back and was once again sounding full of rage "But then you went ahead and jumped off the roof for a second time!" she said in a very scary tone while starring at me,
"you see tha....",
"That too on my birthday!",
"Tha...",
"Right at the momment I opned the door to the roof",
I just gave up after that.Had to say that timing was really somehting,I thought it could only happen in those movies and dramas.
"I screamed at you to stop" she said while holding her head again "I had to attend therapy too as they tried to convince me that your fall didn''t stop middair" she looked up with a jerk and shouted "I told them again and again that when I looked down you were laying on some thing yellow middair while screaming in pain,looked up at me and then fell down straight to the ground",Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
"You do know that it was kind of your fault too...?" I regreted it soon as I said it,
"Are you jokeing with me?,everyone thought I had gone crazy while I was beggning to think you were part of some occult!" she said then finally cooled down and smiled a little,
"What?,are you that glad at least it wasn''t an occult?" I said to which she took off her glasses and pulled out a hanky and started cleaning them,
"Ohh I would have been glad if thats what you were into.....well maybe not" she said while putting on her glasses,
"I am really sorry but I couldm''t tell you at that time as....." as I began to speak she just kept looking at me with a wierd smile,
"Is everything ok?" I asked to which she simply replied "It was my mother wasn''t it?",
there was complete silence for few seconds as I was trying to think what to answer.
"Simmon"She said in a extremly calm voice,
"Yes",
"I am going to ask you some questions and you are going to answer in etheir yes or no.I hear anyhting else and I will hit you" as I was about to say somehting I looked ather face,it was extremely fu!@#ly calm.she was looking more scary than Butcher in a completely diffrent way,the only person who could make such a face is her mother a.k.a my therapist.
"The person cause of whom you could not tell me anything was my mom?",
"Yes",
"She simply asked you to not tell me?",
"Yes",
",,,,,",
"No",
"She threatened you.....let me guss she said she would tell everyone of your powers?",
"......",
"Simmon",
"Yes",
"She has really done it this time...."She finally stoped starring at me and looked away while I took a deep breath, her mother had that same smile when she told me that she would tell everyone that I was affected by that meteor and what could be the consequences.She told what worst possible outcomes I may have to face regarding some of them I still have nightmares.She told be the worst possible outcomes if she told everyone about my secrect while I was 12 year old.....she had that same smile at that momment.
"I am really sorry Cerys",
"I know",
"I am really sorry for all those times",
"I know you are" she said while getting up.It had been so long since we talked like this.....there were many times I wanted to walk up to her and tell about what actualy happned when I jumped off the roof...the first time,about the time I finally managed to controll a proper barrier...at the time of her birthday,when she had a accident,at my birthday,at first day of high school,when I leanred to fly!.There were many times and many things I wanted to talk about with her.
"Well I came to your house to make sure you were ok" she started walking towards the gate,
We had been friends since we learned to talk but since her mother warned me and that second jump inccedent I started ignoring her at all times.I didm''t only runied her birthday but she had to take a week off school for therapy as she kept insesting on what she had seen.
"I will take my leave then.?",
"Wait....can''t we stay for a bit more?",
"Have you taken a look at your watch?",
"I hav....ohh!" it was already past 10.
"Lets go home already!",
"Yea we can catch up tommrow right?",
"Simmon" she said with a smile.....her worryfree non scary pleasent smile,
"Yea?",
"I thought after all this time you would have stopped being a crybaby?"she stood there waiting for me as I wiped off my tears.
Chapter 9: The Fruitcake Knows Nothing!
"So that girl took you to their base?" Cerys asked me to which I simply nodded.We were walking down the streets to her home,
"Are you retarded!,you just saw her kill those terrorist and later simply followed her to some cave in some jungle?" she said hitting me at the back of my head,
"Ouch,I had two very dangerous criminals with me and I thought they may have a place to put them which they did",
"Which reminds me" she hit me at back of my head again,
"Ouch what the hell that was for?",
"What in the name of god were you thinking taking those terrorists off with you?Where were you gonna keep them in your basement?" to this question I just kept silent to which she looked at me in disbelief.
"You were actually going to...." this time when she took a swing I ducked,
"Enough with the hitting already!,we are not kids anymore.I can go where I want and do what I want.",
"Yeah right! like that time you were about to walk off with that con man in sixth grade?",
"That.......he told me he was from my fathers office",
"If it weren''t for me calling out my brother who knows what may have happned!" she let out a chuckle.Every time somehting like happen she would covver her face with her hand while her eyes gave that ''thats so you'' look which really pisses me off!,not as much that scary calm smile of hers she got from her mother but god dame its irritating.
"Sorry but admit it,if it weren''t for me you would have gotten scamed every now and then" she said while covering that big grin on her face with those long sleves and looking at me through her glasses with that same irritating look,
"Well kepping aside the reasons I have been doing fine in these past 2 years haven''t I?",
"Yeah going god knows where after school,returning to home late,giving your parents some vague excuses! you may happen to be slow but they aren''t simmon."as we had reached her apartment she turned and said "They know.",
"Know what?",
"That you were that fool in the white today on T.V" for a momment there I just stood trying to process what she just said while the things about what could go wrong if they knew form my therapy were running through my mind.
"I don''t know how they gonna react"she walked up the stairs to the door then turned"but from what I saw today in your home and plus from that ridiculous outfit they would truly be your parents if they didn''t notice!" she said while unlocking the door "It is almost identical to that idotic one you were wearing that night!",
"Wait so are you sure the....",
"Well you will find out when you reach home.Tell me about it tommrow on our way school.",A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Yea lets....I will pick you up then we....see you tommrow" as I began to turn,
"Simmon" she called looking at me standing behinde the door,
"Yea?",
"Seeing that you are just as slow as always,me knowing that you are sorry and accepting that sorry are two diffrent things.Think about it on your way home" she shut the door shut while I stood there as I knew what she meant but somehting tells me I didn''t.
I hurried my way back still feeling a little funny talking with Cerys like old days after all this time.It wasn''t until I was near my block that I started thinking about what if she was right and everyone at my home knows!.I guss being with her again after all this time I went back to the clueless,useless and really slow me from back then but that is somehting I can work with if it means things between us can go back to how they were.....unless what she said at last is not what I think it means.
As I rang the bell my mind was running wild on thoughts of what kind of reaction will my parents have if I just told them everything?.Somehow it sounded preety simple and you know logical but I keep hearing this voice in my head telling me"Don''t you fu#$%ng dare!"....but I better leave that for the weekend therapy.
"Ah!,you are finally back" my little brother Brian was the one to open the door."Mom,he is home" he turned around and ran inside,
"Simmon,you are finally back!.You made walked Cerys home" Mom shouted from the kitchen,
"Yes" I walked in closeing the door behinde me,
"It seems you two are talking again" she came out of the kitchen holding a pot,
"Yes I was really shocked to see her here.....are we having a feast?" I asked as I looked at the dinning table,
"Well somehting close to that" Mom went straight back into the kitchen humming,
"What''s the occasion?"I asked picking up one of the egg roll,
"What''s the occasion?,Cerys came to our home and you are comming back with that stupid grin on your face and you ask me whats the occasi.....put that down and wash up " she said as she brought plates,
"Fine" I put it down and looked around,Anwen and Gracie were watching T.V,
"Is dad not home yet?",
"No,he called and said he will be out of town covering after that terrorist attack from the T.V" she said arranging the plates,
"He will be out of town?" I said with all the negative outcomes she had told me about running through my mind,
"Don''t worry! he will be back tommrow morrning.Besides when I told him that Cerys visted he told me to tell you not to mess it up this time!" she stopped her work and looked at me in the eyes,
"I mean it Simmon",
"I know" she smiled at me then told me to go to my room and be ready for dinner soon.
When I went inside my room Brian was there sitting on my bed.
"What''s going on?"he asked while glaring at me,
"Nothing,I just came in to....",
"When I came home Cerys and mom had been talking about somehting which they stoped seeing me,she didm''t ask you about where you have been all this time only to get the same answer that your quack suggested to walk around or some made up shit like that and she did not even overreacted about dad telling her before leaving only at the last second" he smirked and countinued "Between the two of us only one is mentally challenged.So I ask again what is going on?",
Ever since the second roof incident he has been a little rough towards me but having a big brother who has jumped off the roof twice,attends therapy every week and is the odd one at the school.......well I know I can not blame him for it but if he dosen''t get rid of that smirk off his face I will beat him up,
"Listen I am already tired so how about you play sherlock somewhere else ok"I said sitting down on a chair,
"Please don''t tell me the reason you had been disappearing after school is somehow related to those terorist from T.V!",
"Brian I really love our brotherly chats such as this one but......actually I don''t so get out already,GOD!" I went to the washroom as I heard him getting up and moveing towards the door,
"You know you are doing pretty good job at becoming a total fruitcake,don''t drag Cerys into it again" as he left I had this funny urge to strangle somehting.
As I was about to leave my room for dinner after freshning up I heard a little beep sound from my bag.
This night keeps getting longer and longer!
Chapter 10:Golden Horizontal Lightning In The Sky And A Ghost Under The Bed!
I closed the door and ran towards my bag taking out the pad they gave me before I left the cave.Once I unlocked it with my thumb print it showed a vedio calling from the "Godown",as I accepted the call I saw Mr.Pal sitting there with the guy they called "Dreamer ",
"Are you alone?" Mr.Pal asked straight away,
"Yes",
"Have you told anyone about what happned today?",
"No,I haven''t",
"Has anyone found out about what happned today?",
"NO,listen if this call was just to make sure of that can we talk tommrow I nee....",
"Sorry but this is about somehtign important!" as soon as he said that the screen changed to a shot of some tall buildings durring night.As I began to wonder what it was about I got my answer as a a flash of golden light passed through the night sky as if lighting but going horizontal.
"Ohh!" the screen changed back to Mr.Pal,
"Though no one was able to track your......barriers but if you are to go to your home few more times durring night time,forget about top military agencies anyone will be able to find your city and home!"
"Well we have found a sollution but you better make sure you are alone in your room after dinner and no will disturb"before I could say anything the call ended,
At dinner table Mom and Gracie kept bugging me about Cerys while Brian just sat there looking pissed offwhile Anwen...she was sitting there all quite and even after all that crazy stuff that has happned todaythis was the most shocking!,
"Anwen are you alright?"Mom asked to which she simply replied that she was just thinking about something.Instead of questioning further she just let it go.....yes she is not acting normal at all...she really is tereble with secrets,Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"You should have seen his face when he entered the house!"Mom said to Gracie,
"A goofy grin is what I am imagining?"Gracie added,
"Cerys told me they had started talking few days ago! isn''t that right Anwen" she simply nodded to which Gracie gave her a confused look and asked if she was sick.
After dinner I helped with the dishes and told mom I will be going to bed as it has been a long day.as I was going towards my room Anwen was waiting outside my door,
"Are you alright!"she asked in haste,
"You know out of all the people I should have told,you should have been the last "I said making sure no one was nearby,
"Forget about that and tell me if you are hurt or something?",
"I mean what was all of that at the dining table!",
"Just tell me you are ok right?" she said a bit loudly,
"Keep it down,I am fine silly!.I have told you about "Enchant:Armour"havn''t I?"I leaned against the door,
"Yes and it was crumbling down with every one of their shots!" she said as her eyes became a bit teary"Do you know how worried I was when that giant held you by your neck while cracks started to appear!"she must have been worried sick,
"Don''t worry I am fine.Your brother is pretty tough you know"I said while patting her on her head which made her really annoyed,
"Stop that!,if it weren''t for "Universal Cosplayer" you would have been a gonner!" she said wiping her tears and then smiled" I told you those barries can be used for stepping and runming midair!"she has been a big fan of "Universal Cosplayer",if you were to enter her room it would be filled with her posters.
"Yea but was she the one to take down both of the bad guys!"I said as a little smirk apeeared on my face,
"Yea well she had it all under control! rookie!" she said it with a proud smile which turrned into a anger in an instant!
"What in the havens were you thinking slapping her in the face!",
"That....she slicded those guys head of and I....",
"Those guys were the bad guys!",
"Those guys were people......well at least I thought so",
"What dose that mean?",
"Nothing" as I turned to open the door she gave me a hug which suprised me,
"Thank you for going out there Simmon" she gave me a big smile,
"Well I can''t be a hero if I just stayed at home while my sisters friend''s cop-dad was in trouble........who dosen''t even live with them though!" she just laughed as I oppened the door,
"Simmon....." Anwen said in a low voice looking inside,
"Wha......." I shut the door closed as soon as I saw inside.
"Simmon",
"Yea",
"Who was that girl with long black hair crawling on the floor?",
".....".
