 It had been two months since I vanished. I've never been from Taylor this long. It's like getting taken by the Green Goblin all over again.

  I was training a boy named Zeke, son of Loki. He wasn't like the others at all. He showed sympathy if he ever had to hurt one of his peers. I.. took a liking to him. He would help bring me back to being Speedster. And back to Taylor.

  "Hey, Jafar?" Zeke asked. "Yes, Zeke?" "Can I.. ask you a question?" "Sure, I guess." "You.. look like the Speedster. Maroon J. Allen."

  "Yeah and?" "I know you're him.. I just don't know what's wrong." I shrugged. "I dunno. I've alway-" "No you haven't!" He shouted in anger.

  "This isn't you! Don't you see? What about Aquamarine?" A trigger seemed to go off in my head. "What 'bout her?" "What if she.. you know.. didn't love you anymore?"

  That did it.

  I grabbed Zeke and held him up by the neck. "What did you say about my Taylor?" "Erm- I said- what if she didn't love you anymore? It's been two months. I- I can show you."

  Passion jumped down from the vents. "Maroon-!" "Eh?" "It's me, Passion! Passion "Fruity" Logan!" "Who's middle name is Fruity?" "Mine. I chose it." "Good for you, little girl." "I'm eleven, mind you!"

  Passion was now very close to me. "I don't know who you are, again, "Passion". I've never seen you befo-" Passion had leaned forward and placed her lips on mine- WHY EW NO AH HELP END IT PLEASE? AUTHOR!

  She backed up, her face a bit pink (THANKS AUTHOR). "W- where the heck-" "Charles's base. The basement to be exact." Passion said. "What.." "It's been two months." Zeke said, stepping next to Passion. "-Zeke?" "Er- yeah, hi."

  "Wait- two whole months?" "Er- yeah-" "Taylor- I gotta go." I said quickly as I vanished.

  I appeared on top of a hill. I hid behind a tree and looked past it. "Huh.. That's nice." I said, looking at the sunset. I looked down, and saw Taylor and another boy. They were holding hands.

  At that moment, my heart shattered into a million pieces.
