Runaways Europe [Possible Reboot]

Chapter 004

---AMIR---

"Oh man, they're in trouble!" Frans said. I back up to the ally next to the restaurant.

"What the fuck was that all about?" Jamie-Lee asked. I exited the car and put on my fistigons.

"You're right, we should help them." I said as I try to march in to the restaurant but I was stopped by Zoë.

"What about maintaining a low key profile. Joe and Jake would go crazy over us!" Zoë said.

Oh, right.

"Well, it's a good thing I brought my duffle bag." Jamie-Lee said. She brings out her katana and remove the sheath. "Let's change."

*Minutes later*

I have to admit... We look ridiculous. Jamie-Lee is wearing a Stitch jacket, a 2ne1 face mask and a fluffy pink skirt. Zoë is all black French fashion with a Cyclops-like shades (how did Jamie-Lee own those outfits anyway?) and Laura is wearing a SpongeBob tee and a baseball hat. Me and Frans exchange jackets. His jacket fit me and shows some of my arm muscles while my jacket is to big for him. I put on the hood over my head while he covers his face with a red handkerchief.

"We ready to go? I really want to take this outfit off!" I asked. Seriously, I can't breathe.

"Yup! It show time!" Jamie-Lee said, grabbing an empty soda can.

---JOE--

I can't believe this! Me and my pal are gonna die at the hands of this bloody twat.

"Please leave me and my friend alone! We don't want any--"

"Then give me your money!!"

"Hey, Screwdriver. What are we gonna do after this?" Asked a young boy wearing white tights and an orange mask.

"We'll rob a ---" the Screwdriver guy was interrupted by a soda can being thrown at him.

"Leave those people alone!" Said a girl with a katana.

How can a girl own a katana?

I realized that she isn't alone. As we see a guy with sparks going out of his hands, a man with metal hands, a girl with a staff and a familiar looking girl in a baseball hat... with glowing blue eyes.

Okay, now that's just weird.

"It's the Pride's kids!" The guy threatening me and Jake said.

"Get them!" The Piledriver said.

---JAMIE-LEE---

"Who the hell are the Pride's kids?" I asked.

"Look out!" Laura said as she jumps right in front of me and punch the guy in the purple mask... all the way to the kitchen.

"Witch House, Fisto! Evacuate the hostages. Well take on these jerks!" I said as Frans, Laura and I attack these idiots.

They are SO gonna get it!

---ZOË ---

"You heard the boss!" Amir said as he run to help them. I run into Joe and Jake and help them.

"Thank you, miss." "Thank you so much!" Joe and Jake said. "Don't thank me, yet. As soon as I get you out of here, call the police. Okay?" I asked and they agreed.

"Die, you skank!" One of the Wrecking Crew said, coming for me.

Luckily, he didn't notice I'm a witch.

"Disassemble" I casted and he broke into pieces.

Okay, that was scary.

"Did he..." Joe couldn't finish his sentence.

"No, he'll assemble in a few hours, I hope. C'mon, hold me." I told Joe and Jake and they did as they told.

"Nightcrawler" I casted and we are poof outside the restaurant. "Call the police now, okay!" I said and I run back into the restaurant where fighting is almost over and evacuation is still happening. I as I help the people get out of here, I notice the cops have arrived. I look back and see Jamie-Lee, Frans and Laura defeated the Wrecking Crew and Amir finished helping people out.

"Backdoor, now!" I said as I lead them to the back door. The backdoor instantly brought us to Amir's car and we made our escape.

"Woohoo! Our first rescue mission! It was fun!" Laura said, happy of what we did. "It's not a rescue mission, but yeah! Still a lot of fun!" I said, agreeing with Laura. "Oh shit! I'm late for my rehearsal!" Amir said when he look at his watch. "I'm still hungry, Can we go for take out?" Frans ask.

"Fine. We deserve an award anyway." Amir said smiling, giving in to Frans wishes.

---FRANS---

We arrive at the arena with half-eaten burgers in our hands, stopping at the open air parking lot. Jamie-Lee put back her katana back to her duffle bag and we left the car. Zoë didn't bring her stick.

We went inside the lobby of the arena and run to the main arena, rushing to get to the rehearsal. That's when I heard Jamie-Lee bump into someone.

"Ouch! Sorry!"

"It's okay kiddo. You okay?" Sergey Lazarev asked, worried. "Yeah, we're fine. We just went out and eat." She said. "I just want to inform you that Douwe Bob is not here, I guess he went back to his hotel for all I care. Anyways, see you later kid." He said as walks away with a smile. He's like a dad.

"What was that all about?" Asked Laura. "Douwe confronted me earlier, today. He wanted to find Amir, but I couldn't after I saw him and Iveta making out." Jamie-Lee said. I saw a smile on Amir's face after realizing what Jamie-Lee did for him.

He really does deserve to be happy.

We run again and arrive at the main arena with a few minutes to spare. Amir went on stage while we find ourselves with the press crowd.

The production staff asked if he's good to go but he said that he needed a minute to breath. He inhaled and exhaled the arena air and he said he's ready. One of the people counted 3 to 1 and started to play the music. He began to sing and I have to admit, he's good. We went cheering for him as he sings his entry. The song ends and the press crowd went clapping for him. One of the production crew ask if he could do another take and he did. The other round went on and after that, the clapping grew louder.

Amir walk out of the stage and we went to him.

"Damn, man. You were amazing!" I said, giving him a high-five. "Yeah, you were great!" Zoë said, agreeing with me. "Thanks, it means a lot to me." Amir said.

"You really deserves to win or go top ten this year. I might just go hulk if it didn't!" Laura said.

"So, what now?" Jamie-Lee asked.

Without anything better to do, we decided to just watch the rest of the rehearsals.

I have to admit, Rykka had the worst rehearsal while Greta Salome had the best rehearsal. As I watch the performances of the competitors this year, I realized that I never really had true friends until now.

"Did you give her the katana?" Ask an African American woman.

"Yes, Katherine. I gave Jamie-Lee the Sword of Light." I said.

"They better do it fast, otherwise the Gibborim will end all of us." This Katherine woman said. "We cannot allow the Doomsday Brigade to succeed in their plans, not like what we did for our children!" Katherine started to cry, remembering the loss of her son.

"Don't worry, Katherine. Our children are strong and have a bright future ahead of them, even without us having to need to destroy the world for them." I reassured Katherine.
