Hooded Phantom Rebirth

Season 1: Episode 13

Erik's POV

"Erik, do something!" Said Annaliz worried about Joseph. I started hesitating. I've got no choice. I look at Joseph........ And start to feel lightning flash in my eyes.

Everything went slow. I look around, moving my hands, which let out a flash of lightning every time I moved. I then look at the thug and ran towards him. With lightning speed, I upper cut him, throw his unloaded his gun and grabbed Joseph. I ran out of Starbucks, but not before tieing the thug and giving the punch he deserved. I took Joseph to the Teen Center, inside the hidden lab. I quickly find Davila working on something. "DAVILA!" I yelled. He quickly looks at me and then looks at a wounded Joseph. "Put him on one of the beds," he said, pulling a heart monitor. "We'll need an extra set of hands," I said, putting Joseph's body on the table and trying to put pressure on his wound. Davila grabs a stethoscope and starts to check his heartbeat. "Well you better make it quick," he said, grabbing some alcohol and some cotton balls and starting to clean the wound. I crack a smile and speed off.

I come back with Annaliz. "What the? where am-," she said before hearing some loud screaming. She looks towards the direction of the screaming. Her eyes widen and starts running towards Joseph. "How is he doing?" She asked. "Not good. He's losing too much blood, not to mention the bullet is still in him. And we can't take it out without causing perminant damage," said Davila, letting out a sigh. "What are we gonna do? I don't wanna lose him," said Annaliz, getting more and more worried. I look at everyone then look at Joseph. I got an idea. "Anna, keep putting pressure on that wound, Davila put Joseph to sleep. I have an idea," I said, taking off my jacket.

Without asking, they started doing what I said. Davila takes out a syringe with the 'Knock out' liquid. Anna jumped as soon as she saw the needle. "Anna, calm yourself and keep putting pressure on that wound," I said. And with that, she did. Well, she had her eyes closed but still, she's still doing what I asked. Davila injected the needle, putting him to sleep. "There, he'll be out for a couple of hours. Now what?" Asked Davila. "Now......... it's my turn," I said, moving my hand in lightning speed, fast enough to make it look blurry. "What is he-," asked Annaliz. "He's vibrating the cells of his hand, just so he can take the bullet out without hurting him," said Davila, interrupting her. "Can he do that?" Asked Annaliz. "I don't know. There's only one way to find out," said Davila.

I carefully move my hand, making it go through his body, like a hologram. I started moving around trying to find the bullet. That's when I felt something. I grabbed it, hoping it wasn't a kidney and carefully took it out. I looked at it. It was the bullet. It worked. I sighed in relief. I see Davila with a smile and Annaliz relieved as well. After that we patched him up and waited.

A few hours later
Joseph's POV

I started to slowly open my eyes. I look around. I was in the lab. I started to sit up straight. "Hey Joseph," I heard a familiar voice say. I turn to it and see Annaliz. I look at her and remember the things I told her. I, started to feel absolutely terrible. "H- Hey Anna," I said. "Glad to see you're doing fine," said Davila, who was behind her. "Hey Davila," I said trying to wave, noticing Erik wasn't here. "Hey, where's Erik?" I asked. Annaliz looks at Davila. "Can you give us a moment?" She asked kindly. Davila, without a word, did so, leaving the two of us alone. Anna looks at me. "Erik is fueling up since he used a lot of his speed to save you," she said walking closer to me. "I see.......," I said looking at my hand. "Hey Anna, about what happened. I'm sorry for raising my voice at you. I shouldn't have done that. Guess I must be a terrible boyfriend," I said looking down. "Don't say that. You're a great boyfriend. I was just....... worried. You hardly come out of your house and you weren't picking up your calls nor answering your text messages," she said. "I'm sorry," I said again.

"Again, you don't have say that. I know that you lost your father and I know it must be hard with you, but just know that we're here for you. We want to help you. Not just because we're friend. But because we're family. And you haven't lost this family," she said giving me a warm smile. "Anna......." I said, before giving her a sudden hug. "Thank you," I said. She hugs back. "You're welcome," she said. That's when I let go. "Annaliz, I need to tell you something," I said suddenly. "What is it?" She asked. I raise my hand, to which my watch is.

"I need to tell you that, I'm the Hooded Phantom."
