The Calm Before The Storm

Robbie watched as Jason twirled the square in his hand, with a coy smile on his face. He didn't want to team up with him. In fact, nothing would please him more than to whack him in the head and carry him off to the Airlock, but he was being told that his father had potentially been murderer, and he have a chance to find out who did it. Robbie put his hand behind his neck, leaning against the wall. His mind was working faster than any supercomputer. He had to make a decision. "So are you in, or are you out?" Jason asked, still flicking the square. Robbie angrily snapped at him, moving in a sharp burst of speed over to Jason, grabbing him by the shirt collar. "Do. Not. Rush me!" He snarled. Jason looked unfazed. "Y'know, if we are gonna go on this quest together, we're gonna have to learn to get along." He said, smirking. Robbie narrowed his eyes. What do you mean, 'we'?" Jason stop smirking and began looking dead serious. "Did you really think I was gonna let you dump me in a prison cell, or even worse, the Airlock after I helped you? I have been watching you ever since our last fight. I know who your brothers are, who your mother is, your friends, everything. Robbie, I don't want to have to do it, but if you double cross me, I won't hesitate to kill your entire family and friend circle." Robbie's eyes opened wide, filling with rage, before slow losing their anger. There was nothing that he could do. "Fine. But after the mission, I NEVER want to see your face again. Understood?" Jason smirked, before putting on a mocking tone:"Good boy!" Holding out the square he cooed, here's your treat!" Robbie's eyes lit up, wordlessly telling Jason to back away.

Later on

Robbie lay in his room, waiting for his mother to come home. The boys were already home, and had told him about Jessica's attempts for them to spill. Lying in his bed, Robbie was depressed. His mother and both of his brother's lives were at stake. He wanted to ask Superion, but he didn't want to risk it. The front door cracked open and without thinking, Robbie sped down the stairs and to the front door at superspeed. He breathes a sigh of relief, realizing that it was just his mother. Robbie hugged his mother, much to her surprise. "Robbie? Are you ok?" She asked. Robbie stepped back, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Yes mom, I just...missed you." He replied trying to play it off, but his mother knew better. "Do you want to help me cook tonight? We will make your father's favourite dish. He never did get around to making it." Robbie nodded. Hurrying upstairs, he rummaged through his draw, bringing out his father's cookbook. His father was not the best chef, but he had a taste for the finer things. Between him and Robbie's mother, they compiled a list of 51 different recipe and a special secret recipe he received a long time ago. He smirked. This was going to be the best.

After they had finished cooking the food, they moved on to the drink. (By this time, the boys were both downstairs, each trying to get a bit of the food.) The recipe stated that they need a pineapple and goji berries. Robbie went into the fridge, getting a pineapple. "What's a Goji Berry?" Robbie asked his mom. His mom shrugged. "Google it maybe?" Robbie picked up his phone googling what a Goji Berry was. (I mean, I had to Google it too) "Well, it says here that goji berries are found in Asia." He said, his eyebrows raised. "Guess we will have to do without it then." His mother said with a slight frown. Robbie's eyes lit up, in happiness. " Not necessarily." He said. "What do you mean by that Robbie?" Robbie smirked. "I'll be right back!" Before she could ask any further questions, Robbie sped out of the room at superspeed, taking to his room, leaving both his mother and brothers in wonder.

Robbie quickly changed into his suit, covering it with a hoodie, before climbing out the window and slowly lifting off into the air. Looking down at Emmersville he smiled in a sad way. Things weren't going to be this peaceful much longer. Booming off into the air, he flew higher and higher, before he started gasping. Going back into the lithosphere, he started breathing regularly again. He was trying to look at the earth from space, identifying the continents, in hopes that he would find Asia. Robbie hovered in the night sky wondering what to do. Remember the signal on his belt, he pressed it, signaling his friend. Soon enough, a brilliant streak of yellow crossed the sky, approaching him steadily. As the streak slowed down he saw Superion, in all his glory, with his trademark smile and all. Robbie smiled, but it was only skin deep. He felt guilty because he knew he had to betray his friend's trust. He only hoped he would understand.

Superion smiled at Robbie, his perfect teeth glistening in the moonlight, trying to push the guilt out of his mind. Every time he looked at Robbie, he saw Herman, frozen and terrified. "So. What's up?" He asked, hiding the guilt in his voice. Robbie smiled sheepishly, scratching his neck. "Uh, yeah, I kinda need to go to Asia to collect something, but I don't know where to find it." Superion stared at Robbie before bursting into laughter. The blond superhero shook with laughter, clutching his belly as he laughed. Robbie floated in the sky, embarrassed. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I should know." Superion wiped his eyes, and slowly stopped laughing. "No I'm sorry for laughing at you, it's just that, you can't miss Asia. It's shaped a different way than all the other continents. Just fly into space and-" "Yeah,uh.....that's the thing. I can't breathe in space." Superion eyebrows shot up. You can't?"
