RED SORCERY Chapter 4

• Is that the place?

• Yeah.

• Yeah, I can see the fire...

Red Sorcery approached the center of the city and he saw a big wall of fire coming out of the ground. It was certainly weird, there wasn't anything flammable there so it was certainly weird, and was certainly odd that there was a shadow in the middle of that firewall, was that... a person?

• Holy fishbone, there's someone there.

Said Red Sorcery and without thinking flew to the wall of fire and with an incredible speed he took the man on his arms and flew away, he put the man on the ground, Red Sorcery was a little bit burned, his magic coat protected him from fire but this fire was oddly stronger than just an usual fire so he hurt himself a little bit but he didn't pay attention to his injuries. He was glad the man seemed to be ok... Well, almost too ok, he was perfectly fine actually.

• Well you seem to be ok, is odd, you don't seem to have any injuries

• No Red Sorcery, the one that will have injuries... It's you.

The man looked up at Red Sorcery with mad eyes that were literally red with flames and exploded in fire. Red Sorcery was blown away by the fire and hit himself on the wall of a building. Skye fell into the ground and looked at the man in pain.

• I must say you're a really stupid kid, who flies into a wall of fire to save someone else?

Skye got up in pain and looked at the man, he was a middle aged man, with blonde hair and a beard, his complexion was normal but the weird thing about him was that the fire around him seemed to respond to his actions, no it was different from that, his body could create fire.

• If you have the time to analyze me, then have the time to defend yourself. Skye didn't attack when the wall of fire was thrown at him once more, instead he concentrated his power to create a red circle to take all the people around the place away, the people were swallowed by the circle and reappeared a couple of blocks away from the danger zone. Then the fire hit Skye. He screamed in pain, the heat was really strong, and yeah his coat was fireproof but that didn't meant that he was able to protect himself from such strong fire.

• Using your power to protect people instead of protecting yourself?! HA-HA! You're really a stupid kid!

• Damn it...

With jump Skye was able to fly away from the fire and from above he saw that the whole block was on fire. The fireman were taking care of the situation so Skye understood that was his job to take care of the source of the fire, and the source was that man.

• Come, come arise...

• Oh no way in hell I'm letting you use your spells.

Thousand of fire arrows were thrown at Skye and he had to dash every single arrow so he wasn't able to summon the twin water dragons. He cursed his luck at this state; he had to find a way to defend himself.

• Well at some time I had to use this boots right?

The man saw his enemy flying over where he was; was he accepting his death sentence? No it was different, Red Sorcery was flying on his direction with his left foot facing the ground, his mind rang a danger alarm and he dashed away from there using the help of his fire when he did this Red Sorcery touched the ground and that kick destroyed the ground almost completely... the man was happy not to be there.

• Oh, so you're also super strong.

• Yeah a little bit.

The man smirked and Red Sorcery did the same, his boots made his feet having the heaviness and strength of seven adult elephants but for Skye the boots were as heavy as a feather. His coat gives him the strength to hold seven elephants in one hand. So if you think about it... the man was in trouble right now.

• Foolish human, let me erase that smirk from your face.

• Come magic boy, I'm waiting.

They both put themselves in guard state, the man had fire in his fist and Red Sorcery glowed with his usual red light. They stared at each other for a moment and the man attacked first, Red Sorcery put his arms in front of his face to repel the punch and he succeeded... but there was something wrong.

Listening to his instincts Skye flew away from the place and saw his arms burning, he started glowing once more in red light and the fire died. There was something wrong with that fire, it was different; it was blue. Skye knew that this fire was stronger; the blue fire contains methane and is stronger than a simple red fire. That's common knowledge.

• Just what is your problem? You were the one who burned that building this morning right?

• Yeah that was me, and I did it because I wanted to! Watching a building burn into ashes makes my face smile in the sweetest grin ever.

• You're sick!

• Yes that what my therapist said, then I threw his body into a pit of fire! HAHAHA!

The man laughed wickedly and Skye whispered to Shawn who was hiding on Skye's hoodie all this time.

• Damn Shawn... why is this crazy old freak my first super villain? He doesn't let me use my spells and I can't fight with him without hurting myself.

• Well Skye, at times like this a superhero uses his surroundings right?

`'He is right'' Thought Skye remembering the thousand comics he had under his bed, he then flew into the ground stomping like 7 elephants on the ground and the cars jumped a little bit, the sewer cover jumped in the air and he took it in his hands.

• Hey old man, want to play Frisbee?

He threw the metal object at the villain and the Man didn't moved, instead a wall of blue fire formed itself around him and the metal melted and fell into the ground.

• Using your surroundings? That won't work; I'll burn and melt everything you throw at me.

• Well I can't say that I didn't saw this one coming. Hey this is unrelated but do you have a super villain name? I want to make fun of that. And is a little bit rude for you not to present yourself when you already know my name.

Yelled Skye with a cocky smile and the man smiled too, he made a movement like a gentleman bowing and looked over to where Skye was.

• Call me Hell.

• Hell? Just that really? Well it suits you because of the fire. Well hello Hell, I can't say that is nice to meet you.

• Nice to meet you boy, but its time for you to go to bed, forever!

One, two, three, four... four blue firewalls formed around Skye. He tried to run away but the firewalls blocked his scape. He could feel the heat, the burning, the death getting close with a horrible fire grin and then...Nothing happened.

He was flying, no, it was different, he was indeed above the ground but someone else was carrying him and it was in princess style. He looked up and saw the smiling face of a fellow superhero. Who said that Skye was the only superhero of this big city?

• B-Black Phoenix!

• Sup'! Is nice to meet you Red Sorcery.

Now, Skye had the biggest crush on Mathew but there was somebody else who he loved with madness. And that somebody was Black Phoenix. He was in many ways perfect, his black hair and perfect skin, his eyes hidden in that black mask and his grinning smile not to mention the superhero suit that hugged his muscles like a second skin.

• Oh sweet heaven is... is you, I'm being saved by Black Phoenix, and I'm blabbering and I'm blushing I'm sure of that I can feel my that my face is hot... I-I...

• Hey, calm down boy.

• S-sorry...

Red Sorcery blushed deeply and Black Phoenix was a little bit impressed by that blush, it remind him to somebody, somebody he loved deeply, that red blush was similar to one red blush he was used to see. He felt his heart pump twice at Red Sorcery blush and he hated it. He only had eyes for one person and Red Sorcery couldn't get in the way of those feelings so he put Red Sorcery in the rooftop of a near store and looked at him with cold eyes.

• Now go away, I don't want to babysit a brat with powers that thinks that he is a superhero.

• Whoa! That's just plain rude!

Said Shawn getting out of the hoodie with angry black eyes looking at Black Phoenix, the veteran superhero just shrugged not caring about the white little ball and Red Sorcery took a step back feeling anxious. It seemed like he was disliked by one of his many superhero idols and that hurt him a little bit.

• If you children are over with your date then maybe I can burn you to dead.

• So, Red brat, who is your friend?

• His name is Hell... and I'm not a brat!

Skye wasn't Skye when he was Red Sorcery, because he could let all his insecurities away when he was a superhero and speak up, so now he was speaking up, he was offended by Black Phoenix words so he spoke up. Black Phoenix was turned back a little bit by this but kept his cool face.

• Whatever you say kid, step back and let me work.

Black Phoenix jumped to the street, he saw with cool eyes at his enemy trying to find his weakness and understood for the surroundings his control over fire and the level of power he had. He understood that his super strength wouldn't work if he gets burned by those blue flames so he only had to turn down the fire.

• Ok, let's turn down the heat a little bit.

• Bring it birdie boy.

Black Phoenix had the ability to control darkness and shadows from his surroundings and made them act like weapons and living beings, so now he created from the shadows of the cars perfect replicas of the same cars only that this replicas were made of dark purple shadows. He snapped his fingers and the shadow cars were thrown at the villain.

Hell smiled a little bit and four walls of blue fire were raised from the ground protecting the man but when the cars hit the walls they didn't melt, the cars exploded in shadows that started covering with a dark blanket the firewalls along with the villain. The darkness was cold, the darkness was ice cold actually, so the fire started to die slowly. The man clicked his tongue and the darkness surround him completely, only a ball of shadows was on the place where the man was standing just a second ago.

Skye and Shawn were looking at the scene from the rooftop. Shawn closed his eyes resigning himself and spoke. - Well he can be rude but he knows the drill of this thing.

• The `drill'? What were you reading all day?

• What? The people of this time talk like this right?

• ...Ok, I'll explain that to you later at home, for now turn into the red book, this isn't over and I know how to stop it.

Skye was right, just in that moment when Black Phoenix thought that he won a light shone out of the ball of shadows and then another, and another, suddenly the light was too much and the ball exploded into flames and the man stood from there cracking his neck and fists.

• Neat trick kiddo, but your shadows can't hide from my flames. It is weird and even poetic, you're from the good side and you're using shadows which bring darkness and I'm from the bad side and using flames that brings light. Is really ironic don't you think?

• It kind of is old man.

From the ground appeared more blue firewalls but this time were 14 of them and kept increasing, it was hard to defeat only four walls now the number increased and increased more with every second. Black Phoenix clicked his tongue thinking on how to get away when he saw a red light from above.

There was a huge, literally gigantic red magic circle on the heavens, that big pentagram had a person in front of it. He was glowing with a red light and he looked majestic, like some sort of monarch with his cape flying by the wind. It was Red Sorcery who had reading some words on his big red book and looked completely tired, this spell was really strong. Hell immediately got scared by that huge red circle, and he should, he forgot that Red Sorcery was around and now he was going to pay the consequences. Red Sorcery smiled and the book closed itself.

• Black Phoenix, I suggest that you get off the ground right now or I won't be held responsible of what will happen. Quickly Black Phoenix flew on the air away from where he was and Skye grin his teeth.

• Fly scales of the ice dragon! The Red circle shone with a red light that could leave someone blind and 7714 scales that were made of ice were shot with incredible speed from the heavens to the ground, Hell immediately covered himself with the walls but the ice scales weren't directed at him.

• You're missing!

Yelled Black Phoenix and Red Sorcery just smiled at him like he was a superior being.

• Foolish superhero, you really think I'm using almost all my power in a useless attack? I know the source of his power; he is using the gas from the propane tubes on the near stores.

When the firewalls were formed the didn't actually came from the ground, they came from the low sides of Hell and then were raised to the heavens, Skye noticed this when Black Phoenix was fighting and he noticed that Hell was able to attract flammable gases from the near stores and business and then burn it all with a sparkle he created in his hands.

• He is not really a fire maker or something like that, he has the ability to attract gas and create sparkles to burn that gas. Is a really impressive ability but it obviously has its weakness. If I freeze all the surroundings with ice.

The near buildings from where the gas was coming started to turn into ice, the scales froze the floor and that ice reached all the sources of the gas and turned it all into solid ice, the gas couldn't fly and be attracted any longer and it couldn't be flammable anymore so the walls that surrounded the man were reduced to nothing.

• I'm sure he has some sort of gas maker on his clothes, that way he was able to be freed from your shadow ball.

With that being said a complex tube fell from the coat of the middle aged man, it was his personal source of gas and got frozen by a scale in an instant, then another two scales hit the man's feet and the ice trapped him on the ground.

• Its ok, it won't kill you, but you're done for.

• D-damn how the fuck did you knew?!

• Because I'm awesome, that's why.

Said Red Sorcery smiling and a last scale hit Hell's head making him lose consciousness and fall into the now icy ground. Red Sorcery felt his body heavy and let himself fall but he didn't reached the ground, instead he found himself in the warm arms of Black Phoenix who kindly put him into the ground and helped him to stand on his feet.

• Great job.

• I-it was my first super villain so I wanted to make a hell of a job. Now let me go my work isn't over.

• What? You defeated him and you're about to pass out, I think you should go home now.

• You're kidding me right? Look at the mess I did... the least I can do is fixing it all.

Red Sorcery kindly pushed Black Phoenix away and touched the icy streets he glowed once more in that red light and the ice started to break, then with a loud `BOOM' the ice flew into a vortex that raised in the sky and exploded around the dark clouds of the night. Red Sorcery smiled and almost fell again when Black Phoenix took him into his arms once more.

• There... all nice and clean... and look is snowing. It looks cute right?

Black Phoenix looked at the sky and saw how all the ice that exploded in the clouds became a kind, clean and pure snow that fell into the winter streets of Seagull city. He looked down at Red Sorcery and detected a smell on him... he knew this smell of cinnamon almost too well and his eyes showed fear. Red Sorcery didn't saw his fear, he just pushed him away kindly and stared at the lights of the police cars that were getting close to the scene, now that the fire around the place was over everyone was able to walk trough this streets again. Red Sorcery started to recover his composure and looked at Black Phoenix.

• Hey, you're a veteran in this... I really did a good job?

• ... Red Sorcery you did a hell of a job here tonight...

• I don't like you. Today you said mean things to me and my opinion of you dropped. Too bad because I saved your sweet butt tonight.

• Ha-ha well someone is feeling better. Don't get too cocky brat I'm not going to apologize from-

• I know you won't...

Said Red Sorcery cutting Black Phoenix's words; Red Sorcery started floating ready to go away.

• I know you won't... you think I'm inexperienced and you are right, but I'm a superhero just like you, I fight for the people I don't fight to be accepted by you or anybody else. So I'm not looking for apologies and I don't want you to apologize to me if you don't feel like it.

• ...

Black Phoenix had to confirm something, he had to, when he held Red Sorcery he felt something, he felt something warm in his heart and the familiar smell of someone he loved, so he had to confirm something right now.

• ... You're alright?

• I'm fine... so please don't worry about me.

Black Phoenix was shocked; he knew who Red Sorcery was; he knew and was scared for his safeness. But he couldn't say anything because Red Sorcery smiled at him and flew away like a red thunder. Then Black Phoenix was scared for his sweet Skye... Scott was scared for his sweet Skye because he knew how a superhero life could be and how could end.

• Sir...

The young woman said at the young boy staring at the window of his office. The boy looked at the woman with cold eyes and she bowed like a maid.

• Hell was defeated tonight.

• ... I see, was that annoying phoenix?

• No sir, it was the new one.

• The Red kid?

• Yes... what shall be done?

• ... Continue the studies on the test subjects, let's hope that they take this like an isolated crime and bring me the tapes of Red Sorcery so I can start analyzing this child.

• Yes Sir... Hell won't say a word; he was trained not to do that. He is loyal to the company.

• Oh I know he is, don't worry.

The woman bowed once more and walked away from the office and Mathew stared at the window once again letting his mind being drag away from the illegal experiments of his family's company and started thinking of his sweet Skye. It was a relief thinking of Skye, because he was pure and good unlike him. That's why he wanted Skye, because he was the good that he wanted so much, he wanted Skye because he wanted to feel something pure on his life and Skye was the only pure thing about his criminal life.

• It's not easy to be a villain...

Said Mathew to himself taking a drink from his glass and stared at the city trough his window once again.

• My sweet Skye, I will give you the world if you let me...

• That darn B word keeps taking my villains!

• Well calm down super annoyed boy.

Rory tried to calm his friend from his bad mood they were walking to school together and Skye was really angry at the fact that it had been almost two weeks since his last fight for justice. Black Phoenix kept taking all the villains, robbers, gang fights and even cat savings on the city. Every time that Skye reached the scene of a crime Black Phoenix was smiling with the case solved.

• I'm telling you he does it just to annoy me!

• You don't know that.

• I know it, last time he said `too late red kid' which clearly shows that he is competing with me.

• Someone is having a bad week, want some PMS pills?

• Shut up Rory. And what the hell are PMS pills?

Skye was a little annoyed by the comment but smiled at the joke. They reached the school and walked to their lockers quickly; yesterday the jocks found them on the doors of the school and threw some dirt at them. Dustin was with them and Rory kept looking at him with a blank stare that made him self conscious. Today they didn't wanted to be the target so they tried to find their books quick.

• I'll see you at lunch green eyes.

• Aye, aye captain PMS.

Said Rory who was having a hell of a time mixing superhero typical names with jokes about Skye moods and ran away before Skye could punch him in the arm, Skye smiled a little bit and put the books he didn't needed on his locker when he felt a presence behind.

• Good morning sunshine.

• S-Scott... g-good morning.

There was Scott who for the last days was trying to get closer and closer to Skye for some reason he still didn't understood. Scott was really close to his face and Skye was a little bit uncomfortable because he did that a lot. Skye though that it was probably because he didn't knew what personal space meant; so he just smiled awkwardly for a couple of seconds.

• You don't seem so well, not exactly a morning person right?

• Scott, I'm 15 years old, of course I'm not a morning person, and nobody is a morning person at this age by the way.

• That's not true I am a morning person.

• Well you're 16 am I wrong?

• He-he, no you're right.

Scott looked at Skye for a second and they both walked to their first class together, they did this since they were sort of friends right now and some of their classes were together. Scott smiled at Skye with guilty eyes, he saw a moment ago when he was talking to Rory with an annoyed face and he knew that it was his fault. He'd been taking all the alarms on the city to protect Skye to do any job that might put him in danger, yeah he was over protective but he knew that a superhero job was dangerous and didn't want to take any chances on Skye getting hurt now that he knew that he was Red Sorcery.

• So you have your arts project coming right?

• Don't even remind me Scott, I hate getting onstage.

• Who is your partner anyways?

• ... Timothy Payne.

• What?!

• Yeah I know, he is awesome onstage, if I don't match my act to his then his note will drop and the blame will be all mine!

Said Skye sighing loudly worrying once again for others people feelings and on this time grade notes. Scott was also concerned but his concerns were different from Skye's. Timothy Payne had Italian decadency, he had bright brown eyes and black hair, tan skin with a strong built that was product of him being on the Baseball team, as the girls on the school would say he was one of `'The seven wet-dreams of the school'' and Scott was concerned that Skye might end up falling in love with him.

• I just hope I can match to his expectations.

• I'm sure you'll be fine, and also who cares about his expectations. You should do this for yourself and your notes and make a great job, to the hell of what he might think of your acting skills.

• ... Well, I don't think I can be such a great actor.

• I know you can, just work your sweet butt on that and you'd do fine.

• ... Ok, there must be a better form to refer to my butt but ok if you really think I can do it... then maybe I can do it.

• Just maybe? Trust me you can.

• Don't put so much trust on me, I might disappoint you.

• Disappoint me and I'll punish you.

• Tickle me and I'll kill you.

Scott stuck out his tongue at Skye and they got into the classroom, Scott once `accidentally' touched Skye on the ribs and he laughed a little bit, he couldn't help but to do it again and again making him laughs. He loved that laugh and kept on doing it for almost 3 minutes until Skye kicked him on the leg.

Some of the girls on class glared at Skye, they were mad at him for having so much attention for 2 of the school's wet dreams lately, they were really jealous and were planning something... something bad.

`'So here I am, Art class... damn my luck'' thought Skye and Shawn spoke telepathically from the necklace.

`' You'll be fine, I don't like Scott very much but I think he is right. You can do it if you work your ass on it'' Skye rolled his eyes when he heard someone else referring to his butt and sighed. Shawn said some days ago that he didn't like Scott very much, he was too warm and bright to be normal and he didn't like Mathew either because he was too much of a perfect prince.

• Mr. Lopez. Is your turn to go onstage, c'mon boy we don't have all day.

• Y-yes Ma'am.

Skye ran onstage, they had this partner project that lasted two weeks, they were meant to make an improvised scene every day from a random theme. The themes were several pieces of paper on a glass container and the teacher Aurora was now taking their theme.

Skye sighed and looked over to where his partner was; Timothy was one of those cold guys who never showed their feelings so you never really knew that the hell they were thinking. It was their second day of the project, yesterday's theme was intimidation and Timothy quickly got on his role imitating a bully and putting Skye on the ground threatening to punch him, Skye didn't had to pretend he was scared by the scene and he showed actual fear.

The teacher thought he was just acting and they both passed remarkably the day, Timothy help Skye got up and didn't said a word after that, Skye knew that he was just acting and he wasn't hated by Timothy and acknowledged the good skills that Timothy had. Miss Aurora took the paper out of the glass container.

• Love!

Said Ms. Aurora smiling, some of the students present laughed at the fact that they were both boys but Timothy didn't changed his cold face and Skye took a step back by that word, then he saw over at Timothy who was getting ready for the act. Skye got worried, he didn't wanted Timothy to get a bad grade because of his bad acting so he decided to work his butt out for this scene. So he sighed loudly cursing mentally to thinking about his butt again and relaxed. At this moment he wasn't Skye anymore, he wasn't Red Sorcery either, he became a new character for this paper, he wanted to do it right.

• I love you.

Said Timothy with a pained expression, Skye understood quickly that this was a dramatic scene by that look and he decided in a split of a second that he was going to act tough. So he turned around not facing Timothy and put a cold expression on his face.

• I don't care. You don't even know what love means.

• I know what love means! I love you! I know for sure what it means!

• You don't love me! You don't even know me!

Skye turned around looking at Timothy with rage and Timothy walked towards him and took him by the arms.

• I know what is in my heart, and that's love for you.

• Let me go!

Skye freed himself from Timothy's hold and walked over where a couch on the stage was, he didn't sit he just stared at it with a cold expression of rage but his eyes reflected something else... it was pain. Miss Aurora and the whole class understood that Skye's character was lying; that Skye's character loved Timothy's character but was pulling him away from some reason.

• Is because we are both boys?

• You know that I don't care about what the rest of the people think.

• Then why?! Why can't you fall in love with me?!

Timothy screamed in pain and Skye bit his lower lip also in pain refusing to face Timothy. The class understood that he was in pain too, that he was refusing his love and that hurting Skye's character. Skye spoke in a faint voice that was at the same time strong enough to fill the whole auditorium.

• You don't know what love means, you only feel an obsession for me... so don't play with me, don't play with love. You don't have the right to call obsession love because that taints the pure word of love.

Timothy walked over to where Skye was and turned him around, his eyes were filled with something that Skye couldn't place... Skye couldn't know what that feeling was because he was a full virgin but the crowd that were more experienced in love knew that the feeling in Timothy's character eyes was lust. Timothy talked in a husky voice holding Skye by the shoulders.

• Aren't those the same thing? When you're in love, you're obsessed with the other person.

• W-wait what are you-

With his strength Timothy put Skye on the couch and put himself on top of Skye.

• My love I'm in love with you, so I'm obsessed with those hands. He kissed Skye's hands and bit the tip of his fingers.

• I'm obsessed with those eyes. He kissed Skye eyes that were closed and nervous, Skye moaned and blushed hard. - I'm obsessed with your sweet smell; with that cinnamon skin you possess.

He smelled Skye's collarbone and kissed his neck with passion the class forgot for a moment that they were both boys and they just saw that there were just two people that loved each others. Even the teacher was impressed and speechless by that passion and that love. Skye moaned loudly and his character broke with the next line.

• And I'm in love with that beautiful mouth. So let me kiss you and ill show you my passion, my obsession and my love.

• Please stop...

Moaned Skye when Timothy was inches away from his mouth and Timothy's character smiled with lust, Skye was afraid now.

• I'm not stopping I want to taste your mouth, kiss me.

• No- n-no, no. Just stop this now; cut the scene, break the character stop! Really stop now Timothy!

Skye pushed him and Timothy fell into the ground, Skye stood up from the couch with his face blushing and put his fist in front of his mouth, then he looked over at the teacher.

• I'm sorry, I can't do it, I can't... is my fault so give me the bad note, he Is a great actor, he deserves the full note but I just can't do it.

Miss Aurora came back to reality, it seemed like the acting dragged her away from the real world and now she was back, and she cleared her throat.

• I must know the reasons, why can't you kiss your partner onstage? I guess that is not from sexual orientation issues right?

• Is not that... I..., I'm inexperienced...

• How so?

Asked Timothy getting up from the floor and looked at Skye, Skye returned the look with sadness and hung his head ashamed of himself.

• I've never been kissed on the lips before... I hope for my first kiss to be special and not pretended, so I'm sorry I can't be your partner in this exercise... Find someone else I can't do it. I'm sorry...

• ...

For the first time the class saw Timothy putting another expression on his face when he wasn't acting, it was surprise... he was surprised by the reasons, because those were really...

• Really sweet reasons Skye. Said the teacher smiling kindly at the boy, but Skye just hung his head even more to hide his blush in his black hair.

• I'm sorry Timothy...

He ran away from the stage at that moment and the whole class started to whisper about if the reasons were enough to stop the scene or not, then the teacher clapped her hands twice.

• Hey next group go onstage, the show must go on.

• I'm a class `A' stupid. Worthless, stupid and weak.

• Come on Skye, most boys don't give a damn about their first kisses, you must be proud of yourself for stopping that boy.

• Yeah right...

Skye and Shawn were on the auditorium, the classes were now over and Rory went home because he had to work with the runners. Scott and Mathew were at football practice and Skye was glad that he hadn't to explain his failure to them. It'll be too humiliating and they would probably think that he was a dork for not pretend a kiss.

• Want to dance? You always say that it relaxes you.

• I dance with Rory and there's no music here... But I can sing.

• Yeah! I love your voice Skye!

• Don't get too excited I suck at singing.

Skye got up from the floor of the stage and sighed. He took of his glasses and put them away on a corner of the floor, he put there his hat too and Skye sighed once more.

He sang, his voice was sweet and tender, not full female and not too masculine, it was just... Skye's voice singing, he sang: If I die young by The Band Perry. Smiling the whole time at the kind song he felt the song and there weren't tears on his eyes, the song wasn't sad for him, just kind so he sang without crying and smiling enjoying the music mentally surrounding his body.

His voice faded away with the echo on the auditorium and he smiled feeling relaxed and happy. If Shawn had a mouth he would be smiling right now. They both closed their eyes for a moment feeling the silence when the song ended on their heads and Shawn felt a presence so he hid in the necklace quickly.

Then some claps were heard from backstage, Skye turned around and saw Timothy coming from the curtain of the stage with his usual cool face.

• You can act, sing and have good principles. You're a nice guy right?

• Timothy...

• Tim is alright. Timothy was my grandfather.

• ... Timmy?

• Don't you dare call me that!

Said Timothy grinning and Skye smiled, it was the first time he saw him smiling, and then Skye's face dropped into sadness again. Timothy walked to where he was.

• I'm sorry about today; the teacher didn't punish you right?

• No. we passed the day, you better get your act trough tomorrow got it?

• Tomorrow? Didn't you choose a different partner?

• Why? You're a good actor.

• Me? A good actor? I suck; I couldn't kiss you so I'm not a good actor.

• I think that your reason for not kissing me is... actually really sweet.

Timothy took Skye face and pulled him closer to his own face. Then he whispered with desire.

• Skye, if I kiss you right now you'll be able to act kissing scenes... can I kiss you?

• No...

• You want your first kiss to be special?

• Yes...

Skye wasn't blushing, he wasn't embarrassed or self conscious... he felt neutral and that was weird, his heart wasn't pumping like he would expect, he was just calm, maybe it was because of Timothy's eyes, he did seem a little bit lusty but most of all he seemed confused by all this new feelings.

Timothy took Skye by the hand to the couch and they sat there, Timothy took Skye's hand and his cold face returned. - I want to kiss you...

Said Timothy and Skye swallowed hard before answering.

• You can't, you don't love me.

• But I want to kiss you...

• Why? You're not even gay. So Why?

• I don't know.

• Then don't kiss me.

• ... Please?

• Why the hell do you want to kiss me?

• I don't know, I just want to kiss you, I want it, I need it, when I touched you today... I just felt like I wanted to kiss you. It felt right...

• You don't love me, you don't even like me, and I don't even know why we are having this weird conversation.

• I like you... I think so, your... smell felt so sweet, so intoxicating I loved it and I don't know why... I want to kiss you so I can figure out how I feel about what happened today at Art class.

• Tim... you're saying that you're in love with me?

Timothy started shaking his head in negative.

• I don't know... I don't know you Skye, well I know that you're good at school and that you're bullied but... your personality I don't know anything about that, you were just some kid on my class and today when I touched you and kissed your skin in class my heart for the first time felt warm... you felt warm.

• But you don't know how to feel about me.

• No...

• Well when you figure that out, tell me, because I don't feel anything about you. I already like someone else.

For the first time in his life Timothy Payne felt jealous. He was having weird feelings, he never felt anything for anyone, he was just neutral until today when he kissed Skye's skin and that just felt right for him so now when Skye said that he liked someone else... he felt jealous.

• Who?! Is it Mathew, Rory or Scott?

• How do you know about them?

• It took me only an hour to find out who you were and who were your friends... it was easy. I'm as good as any of them and even better... Have a date with me this Friday and I'll figure out how I feel then. It's the first time I have this feelings for a boy... or any person for that matter.

• If I do that will you stop saying that you want to kiss me because it makes me uncomfortable.

• I don't make any promises, right now I want to jump and kiss your skin until you're moaning like today in class.

Skye got up blushing and walked away from the place taking his glasses and his hat. He felt embarrassed by Timothy's direct way of saying things.

• Are you really this direct all the time?

• Yeah. I am.

He said with absolutely no expression on his face and then his mouth mouthed a silent `please' and Skye groaned.

• Fine, one date, this Friday... I don't know why I'm doing this because I've never been on a date.

• That's fine, I'll make it special for you... see you Friday then.

Timothy got up and tempted his luck taking Skye's face and kissing his cheek quickly before running away smiling, Skye blushed and watched at the shadow go away, the he felt in his knees wondering what the hell did just happened.

`A super hot boy with communication problems and direct speech invited you to a date, that's what happened' said Shawn in his mind and Skye blushed even harder.

Timothy got inside his car and sighed opening the door, he stopped for a moment and smiled. He didn't knew Skye very well but he knew something, he made him feel warm where he thought that only ice could exist, in that brief moment on art class he felt his heart melt and his eyes filled with a lust he didn't knew he possessed. He didn't know how he felt about Skye but he knew he wanted to find out.

• Wait I'm confused, if you don't want to date the guy then why did you said yes?

• Because...

Said Skye sighing while holding with his super strength an old useless car, he threw the car away and Shawn went to measure the distance. Then Skye looked at Rory to finish his phrase.

• He is obviously confused, and I want to help him.

• Confused how?

• Well, he obviously is experimenting feelings for a guy he doesn't know, when I was inside the closet I'd had many crushes and I was really confused at the time, then I talked to my parents and then to the therapist and I figure out that I was gay. Timothy seems to be on the same page I was back then, he is probably just confused and I just want to help him see if he is gay or not.

• By dating him?

Said Rory still not convinced with this whole idea.

• Its not going to be a date, were just going to go out, talk about some stuff and I'm going to help him figure out his feelings about boys. When I was inside the closet I wished that there was somebody I could talk about these new feelings, it helps a lot having someone like that so I'm just going to be that person, no romance involved.

• You sure? What if he comes to the realization that he is gay and that he likes you?

• ... I-I... I would have to turn him down then... I'm in love with Mathew after all.

At that time Shawn came back and looked at Skye.

• Well you went 10 meters farter.

• Damn... I totally wanted to go 100 meters farter.

Skye sighed, with Black Phoenix taking all the super villains down he'd been training his superpowers in an abandoned trash/car cemetery, Rory just delivered a package to some big fashion corporation and was now waiting for new orders from the boss so he drop by to see the training.

• So can you use your powers without transforming?

Asked Rory watching Skye lift a car with a magical invocation that summoned a giant arm from a red pentagram on the ground, the giant red hand threw the car away and Shawn flew away to measure the distance again.

• Something like that, without my transformation my power are only limited to a quarter of its normal strength. Rory looked at the little ball that was calculating far, far away on the distance.

• How long for him to realize that you're just making him do some exercise?

• Probably an hour.

Said Skye winking his eye and grinned, then Rory's communicator rang.

• Yeah boss? 40 minutes? Sure I can make it. Sorry dude I have to go, some poor soul needs to deliver some pictures or he'd be losing his paycheck for the month.

• Oh sure, take care, be careful with the cops.

• Please those guys could never, ever, forever and NUNCA catch me.

The man walked trough the lab checking one last time the notes on his notebook and put a pleased smile on his face. He looked at his assistant and nodded. She put a wicked smile on her face and pressed a button on his hands free.

• We are ready for the city test. The boss gave us the permission already. Release experiment 1775.

There was a loud sound and the lights on the lab turned red. One of the cages opened its door and a young girl came out of there. Then the woman talked to her in a motherly voice, of course, she wasn't her mother and of course that affectionate voice was not real, but the girl liked the voice, it was the closest thing she had to a family...

• Natsumi, you ready dear?

• Yeah... I'm ready... If I do a good job, Mr. Mathew will set me free right?

• That's right my dear, go and destroy the things you hate the most, we'll be watching you and when you're finish we'll see the results of our experiments... after all that you'll be free.

• Ok... thank you.

Said the girl smiling with hope in her eyes and a big door opened in the distance, it was the exit. She smiled at the scientist and the assistant and they smiled in a devilish way and she exited the big laboratory that was more like a prison.

The man laughed a little bit with his assistant and then she touched her hands free.

• Mr. Mathew... yeah, Pink Abyss is free to test her abilities on the city.
