The anti X-ray.

Chapter three

X-ray blinks. "Visiting?"

The Mad King nods. "Yes. I want to treat you as the true friend that you deserve. Also we can begin to try to make sure that you will no longer be under appreciated."

X-ray nods. "You know... You're not as bad as I thought before." He admits. "I'm in."

"Sounds good." The Mad King nods. "This can be our meeting place."

"Tomorrow afternoon?" X-ray asks.

"Count me in." The Mad King agrees.

So after a few last words including that of a see you later each the two head off on their own ways.

X-ray heading back to the city and The Mad King probably off to find something to eat.

Later........

X-ray arrives at the apartment complex and he is just outside of his door. He reaches for the doorknob after unlocking the door.

"X-ray?"

X-ray pauses then turns only to find he is facing Vav. "Yes?"

"You ok?" Vav asks.

"Never better." X-ray says with a smile. "I'm fine. Just a little tired."

"X-ray..." Vav begins. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." X-ray sighs. "Seriously why won't either of you believe me?"

"Me and Moagr?" Vav questions.

"Of course you and Mogar!" X-ray confirms. "Just trust me. I'm fine. Now I'm going to relax." He turns away opening his door and heads into his apartment.

Vav watches him go a little worried then turns away and heads into his apartment that is just across from X-rays own apartment. He sighs as he closes the door. "Why won't he tell his friends what is wrong?" He wonders to himself and he heads to the couch where he settles down on it.

.....................

"Tomorrow afternoon." X-ray says with a smile dancing upon his lips. "Then I can't wait until then." He heads to go to his bedroom to change so he can relax for a bit. He grabs a towel and heads to take a shower letting the warm water rush over his body. He gets something to eat and he just lays around just thinking about the nice time he had until it's time to go to sleep. He crawls into bed and curls up thinking about his time he had with the Mad King. "I opened up to him..." He whispers to himself. "I talked to him... Instead of even Mogar... But surely Vav would have heard of it if I told Mogar... The Mad King on the other hand has no one to tell... And... He wants to help me." He smiles a little more. "He's human and deep down past that icy exterior he truly does have a kind spirit." He lets his eyes flutter closed. "Things will be interesting from here on out." He eventually drifts off to sleep as he notices since when he opens his eyes his alarm clock reads six thirty in the morning. He sits up feeling awake only to stretch. "Well. Time to start the day." He throws the covers off of him.

A nice hot shower followed by an eggo waffles breakfast is a nice way to start the day.

As he eats he begins to wonder what the day has in store for him other than his meeting with the Mad King.

He finishes eating and goes to put the dishes away when there is a knock. "Who is it?" He calls putting the dishes in the sink.

"It's me. Vav." A response comes from the other side of the door.

X-ray almost reluctantly goes and answers the door. "What is it? Some bad guy with some kind of evil plot?" He asks looking at the other.

"Yup. We got called to only seven blocks from here. You in?" Vav confirms.

"Definitely." X-ray confirms. "Let me get changed real fast." He closes the door and hurries to get changed. He heads back once done finding that Vav waited for him. "Let's go."

The two hurry off to get to their destination today.

X-ray wonders how this will end today. "Perhaps it'll just be the same as always." He mutters under his breath.

They arrive and find a masked man standing outside of a jewelry store.

"There's the guard. There's one more person inside." Vav whispers to X-ray.

"Leave him to me." X-ray responds with a smile. "You get inside and get the other one."

"Let's go." Vav nods and waits as X-ray goes to confront the man outside of the store.

"Hey you!" X-ray calls to the man.

The man turns with a growl. "Go away! Or I won't hold back."

X-ray readies his powers.

"So I see." The man scowls. "You must be a part of that pathetic X-ray and Vav thing." He then charges at X-ray who fires beams of destructive energy from his glasses right at the man.

The man dodges just in time and goes to attack X-ray who dodges only to aim another attack at the masked man.

Seeing an opening Vav rushes towards the store to go get the man inside.

Vav bursts though the doors and the other masked man turns. "Halt you criminal!" He shouts with a determined look and a point in the masked man's direction.

"Ha!" The man pulls out a gun and fired two bullets before it jams.

Quickly thinking Vav raises his hands and uses his slow mo hands to slow the bullets down so they drop to the ground in front of him.

Vav charges for the masked man who is slamming a hand against the gun trying to unjam it. He tackles the other knocking the gun away and he holds one arm behind the masked mans back.

The man struggles but Vav does his best to keep a firm grip on the man.

"You're not going anywhere. You lost." Vav says causing the man to snarl in his direction.

The hostages cheer Vav on and before the man can say anything a few cops come rushing inside.

Vav lets them take it from there as he backs off as soon as at least one officer is close enough. He turns and leaves the store seeing the other man being put in a police car.

Almost instantly a bunch of people rush over to Vav as X-ray moves to join the other.

"You did it!" A woman cheers.

"Did you see that!?" A little boy rushes out of the store practically dancing in excitement. "The man was like oh no you don't. Pow pow. Then Vav stopped those bullets like it was nothing before taking that guy down!" He excitedly does actions as he tells the store.

"And you let our hero get into the store by distracting the henchman." An elderly woman says with a smile to X-ray. "Now the store is saved."

People cheer in response.

X-ray however glances away. "I thought... I thought that if I stopped a bad guy where people would see... I wouldn't be seen like some sidekick..." He whispers under his breath. He glances to a clock just inside the store and brightens a little seeing that it's close to noon. He looks to Vav. "I've got to meet someone." He says getting the others attention. "See you." He turns and dashes off knowing where he is heading.

Vav watches him go in worry until the other is out of sight.
