(Y/n)'s P.O.V.

I was feeling better again and the bruises had faded away a little. Chad has been so nice to me the entire time, bringing me food and hot drinks when I needed it. He also made sure I wasn't bored even a second, providing me with magazines or random movies that I could watch on my laptop. 

I couldn't move for a while because my back was sore. I think I underestimated being a superhero big time. Besides, I need to get better with my knives so I can attack properly. 

"Man, I really want to play the Last of Us..." I sigh as I sit on the couch. Chad's head pokes around the corner out of the kitchen. 

"Then you should." He says, before his head dissapears again and he continues cooking whatever he's making. Chad just got better and better. I t started with the suit and then I figured out he is a great cook, and I have never seen anyone clean windows better than this guy. 

"I would," I reply, whilst standing up. "But I don't have a copy of the game. A friend of mine used to have it, but she moved far away from here." 

I walk towards the kitchen and Chad turns around. I see that he's warming up some soup, and immediately he stops the fire. "Put on your coat, idiot." He says. "We're going shoppping." 

***

"Chad, we should get home." I say after we've been in the mall for half an hour. We hadn't found the right game yet, and not a single game store seemed to have a copy left. 

"Come on, (Y/n), we shouldn't give up now." He says. He is walking in front of me in a fast pace, so I rush forward a bit. 

"Chad, I'm finally healthy again, okay. Which means that Hidden Death can continue her work as well." Immediately, Chad has rolled his eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me. I need to get better with the knives, I need to practice." 

"Yes, you have to, but not now." He replies. His eyes widen immediately as he looks in the direction of a small café. "Wow, isn't that... What's his name again..." 

I look into his direction and see Ryan sitting in the café . He's seated by the window with tea in front of him. "Ryan, I think." I say, and Chad makes his way towards the entrance. "What are you doing?" 

"Let's go talk to him." Chad replies, holding the door open for me. 

"Are you nuts?" I ask, squinting my eyes at the guy. "We barely know him, do you have a crush on him or something?" He laughs at me mockingly, before entering after me. 

"Are you sure his name was Ryan?" He asks me quickly, and I nod. He smiles and waves at the guy. "Hey Ryan!" 

"Oh hey." He says with a smile, waving back at Chad and shaking his hand. Chad sits down next to him on the left, so I take the seat on the right. 

"How are you doing today?" I ask quickly, before an awkward silence can come around. Ryan smiles at me quickly.

"Good, good. I had some trouble with some stuff today, but it was nothing that can't be solved." He replies, taking another sip of his tea. 

"Do tell, maybe we could help." Chad says immediately, and Ryan's eyes go wide in shock. 


Cry's P.O.V.

"Oh no, it's really not worth the time. Fifteen minutes of thinking and the problem will be solved." I quickly say. I'm fucked, I'm so so fucked. Why did I even mention that I had a problem?

It wouldn't even be that bad if the problem wasn't finding the right fabrics for a superhero suit. I can't tell them about this, I barely even know them. 

"That'll be five minutes if you involve us. Believe me, we can help." Chad brings in again, and I hear (Y/n)  groan on the other side of me. 

"Chad, come on." She says. "He doesn't want to share it, drop the subject." I couldn't thank this girl enough, honestly. She catches my smile and laughs back at me. "So, why the tea?" She asks. 

"I'm not really a coffee person." I reply quickly, only to get a giggle from Chad. "Do you guys want something?" 

I barely know these too, hell at first I only new (Y/n) as the cashier from the game store with an interest in Bioshock Infinite. The least I can do is offer them something to drink here. 

"I'd like some capuccino please." (Y/n) answers while Chad refuses my offer. Right at that moment Felix rushes inside the building, out of breath. 

"Ryan!" He shouts, not even seeming to notice the two people who joined me. "I met this girl, she is amazing. Originally from Italy and she is absolutely gorgeous." He has pushed (Y/n) aside, leaning over her to reach me. 

"Hey Felix." She greets with a smile, and he turns his head to look at the girl. He immediately stands up straight, making sure she can sit normally again. 

"Hey (Y/n)." He greets. "Sorry for that, I got a bit excited." 

"I noticed." She replies, while taking the empty seat besides the one she had been sitting on, making room for Felix. "So, what is the lucky girl's name?" 

I chuckle a little as I see Felix get super excited. He starts telling about this girl called Marzia who is on vacation with her family. After hearing him talk for ten minutes, I start focusing on my tea instead. I would hear this story again anyway, knowing Felix. 

For some reason, our conversation goes on until eleven o'clock and we really only stop talking because the café is closing. 

You know what, being with some new people is fun. I've spend so much time with Felix, which really hasn't been a bad time, but seeing some new faces every once in a while is good too. 

"We could drink something back at our place, if you want." Felix offers, but (Y/n) quickly shakes her head. Chad joins her in refusing his offer. 

"It might be best if we make our way home as well." (Y/n) explains. "I really enjoyed myself though, we should really do this again some time." We all agree with that statement and exchange phone numbers so we can arrange a next meetup. 

Chad and (Y/n) wave us goodbye and walk away, while Felix and I do the same in the different direction. "This evening was fun." He states with a huge smileon his face. "Those two are awesome, and I really see them as friends." 

I look at the guy next to me, a smile on his face and a gleam of excitement in his eyes. I totally agree with him, every single thing he just said. For now, I couldn't focus on our new friends though, I had another superhero to help! 

Even though I still don't have a suit. 

Or a name. 

Or a plan...

But, at least I had a fun night.
