I'll Be Your Superhero

Her...What?

Chapter 10
A/N: SO SORRY I'M LATE! I totally forgot last night, my brother and I were carving his pumpkin. Anyway, here you go!

I was at Splat Burger with the twins and Oyster when I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes. It was either Max, my brother, or somebody else.

"Guess who.." A guy's voice said. I haven't heard that voice in forever. I spun around immediately.

"Link!!" I exclaimed and practically threw myself at him. He caught me and spun me around, like Max does occasionally. "Oh dear mother of pearl, I missed you." I continued to hug him, not wanting to let go.

"I missed you too. Dad's been going on and on about how he just wants to meet up with you," Link said.

I giggled and let go of him. "Well I'm glad you're here. So, did you move or..?"

"Yeah, we moved! I forgot to text you that. Oh geez, Ace, I'm sorry." Link smiled at me.

"Oh it's whatever. You're here now." I hugged him again and kissed his cheek. Yeah, I really did miss him. I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to my friends.

"Guys, I want you to meet someone. This is Link." I introduced him to my friends.

"Ace, uh, I already know these guys. Phoebe and I are actually together." Link said.

My mouth dropped as I looked at Phoebe. "How could you not tell me this?"

Phoebe shrugged. "You're always hanging out with Max and I never see you anymore."

"You know that's not fair," I said.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, calm down. Let's not have a fight right now." Link jumped in.

I glared at him and froze his hand discreetly so Oyster couldn't see. Link jumped back, shaking his hand and staring at me. I shrugged. "So does that mean we're having dinner tonight?"

Link nodded, "Yeah, my house. 5:30. Dad expects you there."

"Yeah yeah, Evilman can wait. Especially if Mom decides to make dessert. I'll see you later then." I kissed his cheek, hugged Max goodbye, waved to the other two and left to go home.

3rd Person
The twins stared in disbelief at Macy and Link. Phoebe was with Link, not Macy and Macy was with Max, anyways! What is going on here?!

"Do you think they're secretly dating behind our backs?" Phoebe questioned her brother as they sat around in their living room.

"No, Macy wouldn't do that. We both know that. Especially not with the type of affection she showed him. That was more brotherly." Max responded as they got inside their house.

"But seriously, Max. Did you see the way he hugged her? He never hugs me like that!!"

"Yeah, and she never giggles like that around me, but you don't see me freaking out right now.... Okay, wait, I'm freaking out."

Phoebe sent him a look. "We have to find out what's up with them!"

"I know, I know! I have a plan."

"Your plan is to sneak over to Link's house and eavesdrop?!" Phoebe whisper yelled at Max.

"Yep. Hey, if I want to spy on my empress when she has dinner with another guy, this is the way I'm going to do it." Max said and shushed Phoebe before she could make any more comments. "Now all we have to do is cover our ears with the sound devices and press our them to the side of the house. Everybody is already inside so let's get this over with already."

The two of them pressed their ears to the side of Link's door.

Macy's POV
"It's so nice to see you!!!" I exclaimed as I walked into the house. I gave Link's dad, Mike, a huge hug. I also gave one to his mom and my cousins and then we all sat down to eat. Dad and Uncle Mike sat next to each other and mom sat on Dad's other side. Link and I sat across the table from them. We were eating dinner like old times, all of us. It was nice to be back together. Although we were missing Ronan, he had his excuses for not being here.

"I missed this," Link said. I smiled and nudged him.

"I think we all did." Mom spoke up and I nodded in agreement.

We spent the rest of the night snacking, playing games and catching up. It was really really great. At one point, we were all playing a board games and Link and I were cuddled on the couch with my head on his chest and my legs curled beside me. I started to fall asleep and Link wrapped his arms aroud my waist to keep me from falling off the chair.

All of a sudden, the door burst open and I sat up. Standing at the door were Max and Phoebe.

"Gey away from my girlfriend," Max said dangerously. Phoebe stood beside him, arms crossed, but she looked like she had been crying.

"Max!" I exclaimed. He only gave me a side look.

"I can't believe you Mace! You're actually secretly dating this guy behind my back?! How could you?! I thought you were better than this!"

The fact that Max was questioning my honesty and loyalty to our relationship stabbed me in the heart. "Me?! How could you?! How could you question me like this!? I would never do anything to hurt you, Max. Never. But apparently you don't have a problem with hurting me." I crossed my arms and turned my back to him.

"Link, I thought we had something special..." Phoebe said quietly. I turned around to see my best friend with tears in her eyes and she was holding them back.

"Pheebs, we do. If you two would just give us time to explain instead of jumping to conclusions, maybe you'll understand better." Max and Phoebe regretfully decided to become all ears.

"Link is my cousin. He's practically my brother because we're so close. Dating him would just be weird and gross. No offense, Link." I said and looked at him.

"None taken. But now do you guys get it?" Link asked the twins.

"Wow, I feel stupid," Phoebe stated. I rolled my eyes.

"Macy, can I talk to you...outside please?" Max gestured to the door. I nodded and let go of Link's hand before following Max out the door.

"I'm so so so so so sorry. It's just, Phoebe got to my head with her second guessing, so I started second guessing everything and-" I shut Max up by placing a finger on his lips.

"You're forgiven. But never, ever, question my loyalty and honesty to you and our relationship ever again." I looked at him.

"I swear on my life, never again," Max said and I grabbed his collar and pulled him into a kiss.

"You should go home now, Maxy. There's no reason for you to still be here." I told him. Max pouted but took his sister and went home.

I went back inside and curled up on top of Link again as we started up the game again. My family, all in one place. I looked around the room and smiled. This was all I needed to make the perfect night complete.
