Heroes Until Dawn

Mourning...

Present day...

JAMES WALKER POV

I take a big sip of my drink. I sit with my gang around a table.

"So... You want us to go with you to kill a bunch of college students with abilities?" Jake asks.

"Yes... I've been planning this for a week and since we have someone who can make illusions and I can take away abilities. I believe I can finally do the thing I have failed to do... Kill Michael Munroe and everyone close to him!" I reply.

"I don't know boss... You never take things personally..." Dale says.

"They made it personal when they killed my sister!.. And my dad!" I raise my voice a little.

"This doesn't seem like you boss. You're the type of guy that doesn't... What Dale said, you never take things personally." Jake adds.

"People can change overtime... Holy shit! I just thought of something!" I exclaim.

"Care to tell us..." Alvin says.

"We don't have to kill them... We just have to make them suffer the same pain I did, although Michael has suffered that pain but what about his friends... Check Twitter! See if those good friends of his have anyone very VERY special to them!" I rush to the computer in the base.

PATRICK POV

"Is he always this..." I ask.

"No... He's just been going through a lot of shit recently. He's old man is dead, sister is dead, god knows where his mum is at. His dad and sister were the only ones he could call close family... We're just "a" family." Dale tells me.

"What does that mean?"

"Newbie..." Alvin puts his arm around my shoulder. "It means that he'll do anything for his family... Even kill."

"Then why are you guys here?"

"Moral support and we're ex-convicts that escaped prison thanks to him, we felt like we owe this guy something and here we are." Jake tells me.

I only nod.

CHRIS POV

I walk to my car with a ring in my pocket. I plan to propose to Ashley a month from now because it's her birthday and all that and I want to make that day her best birthday yet... Oh yeah and Josh is following behind me, he wanted to see how I was gonna do it, just in case he plans to marry the other Holiday.

"Alright cochise! You got the glitter all you need is a plan to get her to say yes." Josh starts.

"I've already got a plan..." I tell him.

"And you haven't told me! I'm hurt..." He says playfully.

"Well for one, you'd probably criticize my plan." I say.

"What is it, I'll probably like it."

"There's a theme park Ash wants to go to and I'll taker her there on her bday, bring her to the top of the ferris wheel to watch the fireworks, propose, hopefully she'll say yes and then kiss under the exploding fireworks." I explain.

"Very cinematic cochise..." Josh says.

"Anyways, how do you plan to do a proposal?" I ask.

"I would probably take her to a movie, but a week before I'll ask the guys who run the place if it's cool with me viewing a video of myself telling her everything I love about her and then tell her to turn around. Behold! Joshua Washington kneeling on one knee with a ring box in hand." Josh says.

"That's actually really good!" I tell him.

"I expected you to say that." He walks ahead of me.

I follow him, get in the car, and drive back to the Washington apartment.

JESS POV

Sam and I lay on out beds in our dorm room. My nose in a book and her looking through her photos of her and Ax. I close my book and look at her.

"Do you think we'll see that asshole again?.." Sam asks, still looking through her phone.

"I hope not..." I reply.

Sam puts down her phone and faces me. She opens her mouth to say something but then closes it and looks up at the ceiling.

"I always knew these powers would never do us any good..." Sam blurts out. "Four of our friends are dead. There's another power sponge who is probably planning to kill us all at the moment and-"

"Sam stop!" I cut her off. "Whatever happened to us, we can't undo it. We can only do one thing and that is to live with it, either you're going to continue moping or we can go out and have an ordinary night while we still can, because we both know that he'll be back..."

Sam closes her eyes and sits up. "Call Ash and Z, see if they want to come along too."

"Holy shit that worked..." I say surprised.

"Drinking at the bar sounds a lot better than crying myself to sleep."

MIKE POV

I punch the punching bag and it flies off the chain. Shit! That's like the fifth one I broke. I walk to a bench, sit down, take my alcohol and drink it. I hear someone enter the room, I look up and see no one.

"I know you're here Aurora! I heard you come in." I call her out.

"You're no fun." Aurora appears in front of me.

"Apparently that fun died when James fucked up my life." I say.

"It's really hard to look at you... You haven't shaven for quite a while and I see bear bottles all over the floor. Is this how you deal with loss?" She asks.

"Drinking helps with the pain." I reply.

"It does... But this is kinda too much."

"It's only too much when I say it's too much."

Aurora sits down next to me.

"You think James is gonna have some friends help him fuck with our lives?" She asks.

"Possibly..." I reply. "And when he does come with friends... We'll make sure they won't hurt anyone else..."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let's put em six feet underground... Maybe Ax can take it from there."

Aurora chuckles as she reaches down to grab a bottle of beer.

"Cheers!" She says.

We raise out bottles up and sip away the pain...
