Stronger than you think

Chapter 17

Five parter. Lots o drama.

~Evan's pov~

This is bullshit. Ridiculous.

I glared at Jonathan for what was about the 100th time today.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." He snapped at me.

"Jonathan!" Luke said smacking his arm.

"He started it!" He yelled.

"I don't care who started it, I'm ending it!"

"Alright boys! We all know why you're here. I heard you're having team troubles and I'm here to fix it." A guy said walking up to us. "My name is Alex and I'll be your therapist for the next week."

We're standing in the middle of the fucking woods for this.

"Now, who's the ones causing the problems?" Lui pushed me forward.

"This one," he walked over to Jonathan and pushed him forward, "and this one."

"So! Which one of you want to go first?"

"Go first for what?" I asked. He smiled evily.

"I'm glad you asked." He walked up to me and grabbed me wrist. "Let's find out?" Everything tumbled before I was on my back. My breath got knocked out of me.

"What the hell?!" I yelled and stood up.

"What cha going to do about it?" I charged at him only to have him move out of the way and send me falling on my face.

I heard hysterical laughing that sounded so, delirious, that I looked up to see it was Jonathan laughing. He's bent over and clutching his stomach.

"You little bitch." I sneered and shot up and jumped at him. He stopped laughing as I collided with him and he landed on his back.

He eyes changed yellow and I was now the one on my back.

"I could easily kill you." I kneed him between the legs. "Shit!" He yelled and rolled off of me.

"Alright that's enough." The guy said coming over to us. He helped us off the ground. "Now, I've been sworn by secrecy to not tell anyone you're superheros. So we're going to try something. I want to see how well you work together. There's a building in the woods, it's locked up tight, I want you to break into it as a team."

"How do we know where it's at?" Nogla asked.

"Find it. You have one hour. Good luck." With that he walked away. Jonathan clapped his hands together.

"Alright, we need to devise a plan and-"

"I'm in charge." I said pushing Jonathan out of the way.

"Why can't we work together? Are you scared of me?" Jonathan said smirking.

"No I'm not. My team, my rules." I glared and he glared back.

"Our team, everyone's rules."

"Guys we have thirty minutes."

"Alright, Brock, shift and look for the building. Try to see how far we are from it. Nogla, shift and see if you hear or smell anything strange. Lui and Marcel, look for the building with Brock. Shift and do what monkeys do best, swing. The rest of us will follow Nogla. If you see the building tell the others. Move fast. GO!" Jonathan demanded and we all took off.

Brock shifted and went up. Lui and Marcel shifted and jumped and swung through the trees. Nogla shifted and quickly searched for a scent.

"Guys look!" Craig said looking towards the sky. I looked up and saw Brock fighting with another bird.

"Shit." Jonathan mumbled. Nogla barked and we quickly ran the direction he's pointing at.

"Wait." Craig said stopping.

"Mini, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Tyler said frantically.

"I'm fine." He whispered he breath coming out fast and heavy. "Listen." We all stood still and listened. We heard rustling and then a twig snapped.

"Run!" Jonathan yelled. We all ran hard and fast until we came to a stop. Brock came back and regrouped with us.

"I'm to not that far. That way!" He pointed in the direction we were running and we started running again. Lui and Marcel joined us. Me and Jonathan leading.

"STOP!" We all came to a dead stop. "Not bad. BUT! You guys didn't make it in time. You failed. But not to worry! We'll keep practicing until you can get it right." The guy from earlier said walking out of nowhere.

"How did you?" He smiled.

"I'm a tracker. I'm very good at what I do. Looks like your little Curly headed friend is good at tracking as well." We all turned to look at Craig.

"I guess."

"That was amazing how you heard the even though you were running. How did you hear it?" Alex asked walking up to Craig.

"How could you miss it? I'm surprised Nogla didn't hear it." Craig shrugged it off like it was nothing.

"When I'm not working with them, I would live to work with you more."

"You can count on me being there as well."

"That's fine. As long as you don't interrupt the session. Alright boys, that's enough for today. Go ahead and hit the hay. I'll see you tomorrow." With that, he left.

Big baller guys. My last check was $300. Making it rain.

On a more serious note, here's a quote,

'I want to be someone's Robin one day. Have a Batman that I can lean on. But at the same time, I want to be alone. Like the Joker. Crazy and insane.'

So, there's that.
