No Superheroes Allowed

Chapter 8

I sat on the couch sneezing my head off annoyed that no one was taking my side on this. I looked at Carly who was still unconscious next to me. She was moving her feet all over me. I kicked them aside and she made some click noise. Some mechanical noise erupted in the room. I turn on the television and Carly started screaming. She got up to choke me. I was trying to get her off but with out air I can't use my strength. She had a very tight grip on my neck.

She was still screaming, as Ben pulled her off me. I quickly hopped over the bed and ran away in my room. I locked the door behind me and rubbed my neck to soothe it. I heard a bang from the door I coughed a few times. "I'll be out in a second. Is she okay?" I whined.

"Chris took her to Gramps." Ben said.

"So you came to yell at me?" I teased. There was a long silence.

"Open this door you have 10 seconds" Ben said.

"Ben leave me alone" I whined. "I actually don't want to be scolded anymore.

"3 seconds" he said.

"You can't get in its locked." I said sitting on my bed holding my sore neck.

I heard a thump and turned around, Ben was standing at the broken door way looking serious and fed up with me. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked. He didn't say anything he picked up the door. "Now I have no privacy anymore, what's is honestly your problem?" I asked.

No response as he puts back the door. "Now your giving me the silent treatment?" I asked standing up. He stepped forward. "You have no right for this, go comfort your brother's girlfriend, go find Lauren and let her kiss up to you" I said.

He towered over me. "W-what you think y-you can s-scare me?" I asked "Well news flash you oaf." Not a word since he came in. "What are you doing?" I asked furious he was ignoring me. "Benjamin L-"

He put his hands into my face and looked into my eyes. I eyes widend and my hands fidgeted as he kissed me.

It felt long, I heard people walked back and forth outside the door. When he finally stopped he smiled a bit and whispered something in my ear. He opened the door and put it back quickly. I was melting onto my floor. I was silent, I didn't say a a word.

Bet your wondering what he whispered to me. "You think your so tough, but if I shut your mouth for 2 minutes you drop you defense, you're mine now"

I shudder thinking how evil Ben can be and how his word choices were weird. Which made me think more. Was he just being a goody two shoes to set an impression. If so he's a sly fox that caught me, and marked his territory....on my face. To be honest I didn't really know how to react

"He got me good" I smiled. I slipped out my room. Chris gave me a sympathetic look. "Did Carly scare you or did you realize Ben isn't as fun as he seems." He laughed.

"Ha ha! Who else knows about Ben?" I asked like its a bad thing. "Does Lauren know?"I asked.

"No she's too dumb in love with his good face" he said.

"Lauren is too dumb?"

"Well I'm not dumb to know that no one likes that freak" She said pointing to me. We both looked at her and then continued our conversation without her.

Some one cleared their throat, Tony was standing there with goggles on his forehead "Carly is truly awake and can speak" he said. Chris practically skipped and ran towards Gramps's room.

I walked in sneezing and Carly was on a bed glaring at me. "Who is she?" She asked. I felt Lauren's cold stare from a mile away. She must have not like how we ignored her.

"What happened with ya Carly? Ben found you and poor Jamie got a cold" Gramps said.

I sneezed a few times. Gramps put his cold hand on my forehead. "Honestly Chris this girl is freezing cold, check the pipes in her room" he said. I sneezed and coughed, laughing a bit.

"Chris I have to talk to you" Carly said. "Alone" she said sharply. Ben cooed smiling. I went to couch in front of the television. I was honestly cold. I might travel over to my brother's to steal his clothes.

I sniffled.

"It's hot in here how are you cold?" Ben asked.

"I'm sorry but you have heat powers, so please bring that pity train right here" I said. He snatched the remote from my hand. I sat up. Ben threw himself onto the seat. I cuddled up next to him. "Why are you so warm" I said "Powers, you even said it" he said.

"Even in the summer?" I asked.

"The heat doesn't bother me" he said. "Fine you know what let's talk about you. Why did you attack the boss on your own?" He asked.

"I was thinking of the kid, he's to his tiny life he hasn't lived yet gone away because he's human" I said

"Ok then what is your real name?" He asked

"It's Jamie." I said.

"Ha full name?" he said.

"You won't tell me yours, you wont hear mine."  I said expecting a last name. Ben smiled

"So which superheroes are your parents" He asked changing the subject.

"My parents were hidden away. But my great grandparents on my father's side were apart of the invasion a century ago, they lost their lives but had 3 children inhuman to pass down the generation" I said. I was thinking of my parents and I didn't realize I was getting a comfort rub from Ben.

I glared at Lauren who was glaring back at me. She pushed me away from him and sat in between. I quickly got up embarrassed she actually had the guts to do that.

Gramps called me into his room and Carly didn't look like Carly. She was a slightly pink hue with red eyes and light brown hair.

"So Jamie this is Carly" Chris said smiling brightly.

"Jamie, Do you want to know your fate?" She asked. I was taken aback.

"You can do that?" I asked.

"Yes, seem to be dea-" she started.

"WHAT?!" I screamed.

"You will seem to be dead, some one will leave you behind. You find something about yourself and about the people you know." she said.

"Isn't she awesome" Chris fangirled. I slightly nodded and hung on every word.
