Don't Do What The Clock Says

Chapter 2

"Augh, crap that hurts!" , screams out a little boy at the side of the road near the alley way.

Appearing to be bleeding, I found that to be as my cue to assist the boy medically. But right when I was face to face with the little boy, he shouted at me, telling me to "leave me alone! I can handle this perfectly fine! I don't need some lowlife hero helping me, it'll make me look like a fool, and my father will be filled with disgust!".

I looked at him like that has got to be the most dumbest thing you could possibly tell someone, especially to a hero. Still, I got intrigued, not even bothering to deny him and all that. I ask, "So, what happened? Are you alright?", I reply, making sure he can see the sarcasm in my tone.

"Oh, well you see... it's nothing, really, but if you really wanna know then how about you come eat my foot!".

He suddenly leaps onto me, pulling out a small knife from one his miniature sized pockets, then proceeds to quickly stab the wound on my left shoulder that has a torn open hole, of course he'd go for there.

I let out a slight hiss and give him a dead look, oh and he knows for sure that I'm pissed, and he better.

"Hey! What was that for!", I exclaim, letting my immaturity get the hold of me while I grab his shoulders and start shaking him, and quite hard at that.

While I was shaking him quite roughly thinking that this will get him to 'behave', he starts to sniffle..

"Oh no, no, no! Don't you dare start crying on me little boy! Cus I'm gonna make sure to call whoever your guardian is! So save those tears for when yo mama or papa or whoever you got gets the message", I say, feeling my chill start to cool down a bit, but dang this kids intolerable!

"You're no hero, you're like my math teacher, Mrs. Heather, and she's the absolute worst! Those ads of you are nothing more than fake rumors on the internet! I-", before the kid could finish his 'smart' little sentence, I beat him to it, cutting him off.

"Say, what's your name?", I ask intrigued.

"No I'm not telling you!", exclaims the ungrateful brat. Boy was this gonna take long..

I finally got him to shut up and tell me his name which is, "Alex". Great, jobs done, I even made sure to give him a bandaid even though considering he's been completely stubborn and not letting me do my hero thing.. this boy makes me wanna quit.

I then sprint off into the alley way when I smell something burnt, and it was a smokey building with fire in the 5th row.

There I also meet up with my buddies, Ruby, Jason, Nickey, and Teresa.

"Yo, what took you so long? And where's Hack's? Haven't seen him all day", asks a brunette hair hero with turquoise eyes, a blue robe, and freckles mainly on her cheeks. Nickey if you may.

"Dunno, I've been wondering the same thing, haven't seen him all day", I reply feeling myself tense thinking of the worst of what could've happened to my best buddy.

"What took you forever anyway? We were struggling a lot without your help!", Shouts a gold hair hero with golden eyes and practically everything about him was just straight up golden, well, that's Jason for you, the twink.

"I stopped along the way to help out an ungrateful little king that had a bleeding knee, no biggie. Oh yeah, he also stabbed me for no reason, kids nowadays am I right?".

They all looked at me like I was crazy, well all except Teresa who looks like she couldn't give a care in the world. Good.

"Anyway" , she says (Teresa) "we have our actual hero of the day come even though they spent most their time helping out a small little rodent of a child that apparently also has stabbed them in their already wounded shoulder, making it worse for them, so now people are going to look at them and wonder why our little hero was so careless today, am I right, Yuri?", she says mockingly, ugh she's so cool even when she's insulting me.

"Whatever", I say pretending to be offended even though I was secretly fangirling the entire time inside my mind.

Pushing that aside, we got the people of the 5th row out and saved the day, woohoo. Clap for me now people's.

"Okay, I know this is probably out of everyone's thoughts and all, so I'm going to refresh the question of when Yuri first got to the building, where's Hack's?", asks Ruby.

"Yeah right, he's probably just sick or whatever, quite worrying so much", replies Jason irritatingly.

"But hero's don't get sick, we're different from actual humans after all and have inhumane abilities, one of which is not being able to get sick. You think something could've happened? ", asks Ruby having the atmosphere start getting heavy.

"You think something may have happened to him?", I ask shaky.

"I hope not..", whispers Nickey.

I hope not.
