New Partner

I told Jones the whole story about what happened to me. I didn't know whether or not if I should tell him about Rosa, but she told him herself. He was in pure shock. He kept pacing himself back and forth across the living room.
"So you're telling me that my best friend was struck by lightning, died, struck by it again, came back to life, discovered be had powers, had sex with his girl and passed it on to her, killed a few people, and now getting married?" He asked. "Well when you put it like that, simply yes." I responded.
He sat on my couch and held his head. He looked at me with teary eyes. "I'm so glad you're okay man, but I need a favor." He said. I looked at him cautiously. "What you need?" I asked. "Have hot sex with me so I can have your powers also." He said in a calm demanding voice. As a reflex I slapped him and so did Rosalin. He grabbed his cheeks. "Sorry man, reflex. And I'm not having sex with no man!" I said firmly. "Then since I know about your powers and I cleaned up your mess yesterday, how about we become partners?" He suggested. It wasn't a bad idea really because I need a mortal on my side. To help clear things up. But I gotta learn more control over my abilities I thought.
"That's not a bad idea Jones." I told him. He stood there smiling like an idiot. "But I have to decline, right now." I told him. "What, why you said so yourself it's not a bad idea." He exclaimed. I sighed and grabbed his shoulders. "Did you forget when I grabbed my head and was in severe pain yesterday?" I asked him. He looked down and backed away a bit. "There's something in me trying to swallow up my conscious, my good side Jones. I need to keep that in control. It's like a beast or a demon." I told him. He looked up and smiled. "I understand, we don't need you killing anymore people unless you truly have to." He replied. We shook hands as confirmation.
He started to walk out the house then he stopped. "Rosalin,I suggest you keep this guy in check, he's a real loose cannon." He said facing the door. "Thanks Jones,I know he is." She replied while grabbing me. "I expect you to have full control over your powers in a few days buddy." He says walking out the door.
A few days isn't enough time for me to control my powers. Especially not with this....thing still trying to take control. I guess I better train hard. Maybe work on the streets will help me gain control. I thought.
Rosalin was rubbing my back softly. "You okay sweetie?" She asked. I nodded and slowly walked to the room. "I guess I better get dressed and go to work." I told her. She crossed her arms and nodded back at me. "Don't go out this time babe." She told me. "Yes dear." I replied.
After I got dressed I left the house and headed for work. I decided to fly so I can learn to move fast enough to stay hidden. I flew in the air at lighting speed. Blowing away small bricks, leaving a medium size hole in the ground. I shot up so fast that no one actually noticed. They only saw a hole in the ground.
I'm getting the hang of this thing. Moving at the speed of lightning is awesome. I feel free and the world is zooming past me. Oh no there's a shoot out! Rosa doesn't want me out there. I thought to myself.
I took my phone out my pocket and called Jones. I told him that there was a shoot out going on and he needs to get down here. I tried to hand up but this guy loves to talk.
"Can't you do it yourself?" He asked. "I mean you do have powers." I sighed cause I knew he was right, but Rosalin doesn't want me in the field today. "I can't buddy, today I need to train and also Rosa doesn't want me in the field today. " I told him. "Well ain't that some bull-." I hung up on him before he could finish that word. I always hated when he cursed, it was pointless.
I left the area of the shoot out and went to an empty building two miles down. I landed inside and it turned out to be an old wood processing factory. There were scraps of wood on the floor, unused logs propped up against the wall, and it smelled like fungus. This was the perfect place to train to get my new partner.
