(Y/n) closed his eyes as he leaned his head on the window. Neither he nor Karolina had spoken about last night since they woke up. No point in upsetting Nico anymore than she already was. "Tired (y/n)?" The boy opened his eyes and noticed Molly looking back at him.

"No. I'm used to not getting much sleep so I'm more than fine with what I got last night. I'm just hoping I can sleep through the car ride" (y/n) shrugged and closed his eyes again. "I don't think it'll work"

"Well if it makes you feel better we're only a couple days away from New York. Then we're done with this" Chase spoke as he looked down at his phone.

"That's good" Karolina spoke as she glanced back behind the car. "Has the car behind us been following us?"

Nico quickly turned around and nodded. "I saw it yesterday"

"Why would anyone be following us?" (Y/n) asked as he also turned and looked at the car.

"We're not very well liked in certain circles" Nico replied before digging her nails into her palm, barely hard enough that she drew blood.

Nico once again pulled her staff from between her boobs, a sight that never stopped being oddly attractive. There was barely enough room for it in the back of the car but she made it work. "Flat" the staff glowed white and (y/n) watched as the car behind them suddenly got a flat tire and the driver hit the breaks.

"Neat trick" (y/n) turned away from the back window and looked back towards the front. "So we in the clear?"

"Not if the past is any indication" Karolina sighed as she glanced out the side windows.

"How would they even-" (y/n) was cut off as they all started hearing the sounds of a helicopter.

Nico's staff began to glow brighter again. "Helicopter go BOOM!"

The helicopter in fact did not go "BOOM!"

Instead of what was intended, (y/n) was suddenly wearing a very itchy sweater. "The hell?" He asked as he pulled the sweater off and threw it to the ground.

"Shit!" Nico yelled as she turned and saw the helicopter was now in sight. "I must have already used that spell!"

"Then think up anoth-" Chase was cut off as they heard the sounds of rapid gunfire. (Y/n) jumped at the loud noise and ducked. Gert yanked the steering wheel and just barely dodged the bullets.

"Tyrone!" Nico yelled and a moment later, in the seat beside Molly sat a black guy and beside him a white girl.

(If you haven't noticed by now, everyone's designs are based on the MCU. Don't know if I'll stick with this but for now it's the way I'm going. Only the designs are MCU though. Not the backstories)

"Runaways?" The white girl quickly asked only for Gert to swerve again to dodge more gunfire.

"We need to get out of here! New York preferably" Nico spoke quickly.

The black man, who (y/n) assumed was Tyrone, nodded and suddenly his cloak was surrounding everyone (including the old lace) in the car. It was pitch black inside and when the cloak once again opened they were all sitting on the roof of some building.

"What just happened?" (Y/n) looked around and tried to figure out what had just occurred. "Where are we?"

Nico was the first to answer. "These are Tyrone and Tandy. They have powers" Nico then looked at the new pair. "This is (y/n). He does not have powers. He's new"

"Nice to meet you" Tyrone nodded and (y/n) responded the same way. "Welcome to New York" everyone stood up as he said that.

"Thanks man" Nico nodded "sorry I had to summon you"

"It's fine. At least it doesn't use up energy like when I teleport myself" he nodded back before looking around.

"We were in the middle of something though. Sorry" Tandy spoke up and Tyrone just nodded in response.

"Go. We'll be fine" Tyrone quickly wrapped his cloak around Tandy and just like that they were gone.

"That was really strange" (y/n) whispered.

"It was" Nico shrugged. "Last time he didn't have a cloak. We just held hands and he teleported us all" she walked over to the edge of the roof and looked around. "Here we are. New York City" she turned back to the others.

"Why didn't we just teleport in the first place?" (Y/n) asked as he crossed his arms. "Would have saved a lot of money on gas and tolls"

"Nico can only use each spell once" Karolina spoke as she walked up beside Nico. "Better to save teleportation spells for dire circumstances"

"If she tries it a second time then something strange happens. Like you suddenly wearing that sweater in the car" Molly added as she walked up beside (y/n). "Get it?"

"I get it" he nodded in response. "That's some strange weakness"

"Can be kind of fun though" Nico shrugged. "Last time I tried casting a spell more than once it summoned lots of bird statues. Really gave the hostel a unique look"

"Unique is one word for it" Chase muttered.

"Point is we need to save spells" Nico shook her head. "But we're here. That's all that matters"

"Right" (y/n) nodded. "Why are we here? You never gave me a clear reason for coming to New York"

Nico shrugged yet again. "We wanted a change of scenery. The west coast got old. And since this is where all the heroes lived we figured it's the safest place from our parents"

(This story really isn't doing as well as I thought it would. But fuck that. I don't do this for you guys, I do it because I enjoy it. If you all enjoy it too that's the bonus.

So, seeing how few people read this story you're the only ones who'll get to answer this question of the day: if, and it's a big if, I decide to write Lemons, or smut or whatever you call it, how should I go about doing it? Make them their own book? Chapters during these books with warnings at the beginning? And how kinky should it get? How far is to far with kinky shit? Because I have a lot of fucked up ideas)
