My worst enemy?

Chapter 4.

I land infront of the hospital and storm in, not caring about my reputation at all. The people all make little screams of fear and go towards the walls and under the desks to find cover but i don't care. "I need a doctor, right now!" I yell. The people look around surprised but then someone goes to get a doctor. A few seconds later the doctor walks in. "Follow me" He says and he runs back where he came from. I follow him and put Lucille on the hospital bed. "What happend?" The doctor asks. "I... I... She was.." I sigh. "She tried to stop me from hurting Future Boy and i pushed her away, but she's less strong then him so i pushed way to hard and she fell and got unconcious." I explain. He nods and given some orders while searching trough a file. "What's her name?" He asks. "Lucille McGavy." I say. He nods and ignores me completely. I start walking around the waiting room. What if she won't survive? After a few minutes i notice a young guy staring at me. "What are you looking at?" I spit at him. He takes a step back. "You look so nervous?" He says questioning. "Yeah, maybe because i almost killed my best friend! What does that has to do with anything?" I say irritated. "Well... You're a supervillain. Isn't it kind of your job to hurt people?" He asks. Nope, sorry bro but that's wrong. I take a few seconds to make an understandable answer for him before saying: "It's not my job to hurt people. It's not my job at all." He looks at me with a confused look so i start explaining. "I'm just a normal person like you, but with superpowers. I could choose not to use them. But i didn't. When i'm not transformed i'm just as normal as anyone else here. And i don't want to hurt anyone. I just want revenge on Future Boy. And sometimes people get hurt. That's why they're scared. And just like you, i have a normal job. Well had, i got fired. But when i have time, i use my superpowers." He looks at me. "Why did you choose to be a villain instead of a hero?" He asks. Ouch. That hurts. "I didn't." I say. He gives me a weird look. "I used to be a superhero but every time something went wrong." I explain. "But why did you stop trying? Why do you fight against Future Boy instead with him?" God what is this kid nosy. But it's a chance, a chance to make the people understand me. If i use this chance the right way, it might make the fighting easier. Or at least people understand. So i tell him. "Future Boy killed my best friend." He looks shocked. I think back at that day. Even thinking about it hurts.

There was a robbery. This was my chance! I could be the hero! The hero that saves the day! I transformed in my suit, back then it was pink with black details instead of black with pink details. Just before i wanted to leave my phone started ringing. "Yes, Lexy here!" I almost yelled into the phone. "Did you hear the news? This is your chance! You can become the superhero that saves the day!" Lotus yells into my ear. "Yes i heard! I'm leaving right now before any other hero or villain can get there! Byeee!" Then i ended the phone call and left. When i got there Future Boy was already there. "What are you doing here?" He asked irritated. He was so mean to me all the time. "I came to help!" I said, way to excited. "They can handle this robbery fine by themselves." He yelled at me. "What? No i'm here to help you!" I said. "You're a villain! Why would you want to help me?" He yelled at me, he was really mad. Tears started to fill my eyes and my eyesight got blurry. Back then i was a real coward, emotional unstable and way more cheerfull then i am now. I didn't understand. Why did he always call me a villain? What did i ever do wrong? "I'm not a villain!" I cried out. I couldn't stand it anymore. But he kept yelling at me. "You are! You always hurt people! Always do bad stuff!" I shook my head. I kept telling myself, I'm not a villain, i'm not a villain! Suddenly the shooting started, i tried dodging the bullets. But i didn't fight back. I kept dodging, i tried to stop as many bullets as i could. "Stop! Stop this Future Boy! People are gonna get hurt!" I yelled at him, tried to stop him. But he didn't stop. He kept shooting things at me, he shot with his gun, but started to throw pieces of rock and stuff like that too. Then i saw it. The enormous rocks flying towards the people. I tried to stop them but there were way to many. I watched in fear when the rocks hit the streets. I turned around to Future Boy again. "You have to stop this! People are going to get hurt!" I yell at him. "As long as i can stop you!" He says. He throws a big piece of rock again. I dodge it but it hits the street. More important, it hits people on the street. I hear the criminals robbing the bank saying stuff like: "Now's our chance!" And see that Future Boy focuses on them now. I fly down and throw the rock away. That was when i saw her. "No... No no no no no!" I took a step back. "Not Lotus!" I said. It was her. The rock hit her and she died. I turned around and looked at Future Boy. He did this. He killed her. I don't know what it was but something inside of me changed. The love towards the world i had always felt was gone. Just like that. It was like it had died together with Lotus. At that moment, all i felt was hatred. Pure hatred towards Future Boy, the guy who did this. Pure hatred towards anyone who'd say i was a villain. And that's when i made myself a promise. The promise. I promised myself i would never kill anyone, not a single soul, except for Future Boy. I was going to kill him. And i was going to make it slow and painfull. I was going to have him beg me to kill him. And then i would. And i would have done it back then if i wouldn't have noticed that my suit started changing colour. The bright pink colours turned black and the black details turned pink. That's when i remembered what my mom had told me when i was younger. When people are born, they aren't good or bad. The same goes for superhumans. The first time they transform they make a choice in their head. Am i good or bad? That's when she shook her head. No, that wasn't it. They made the choice if they wanted to use their power for good, or for bad. The suit would be certain colours. But when something happens and their choice changes, their suit changes to. The colours switch around, or mix up completely. That's what had happend. "So i'm a villain now?" I said. I stretched my arms and started to examine my suit, just the colours changed, but i still felt like i myself had changed completely. I looked up again to see a shocked look on Futute Boy's face. He'd captured the bank robbers and was walking towards me but stopped halfway. "Oh..." He just said. I took a step towards him. "Oh." i repeated. He took a step back. "I... I'm sorry, i didn't know... what happend though?" He asked. "It's too late for sorry now, and you happend." I took another step forward. My eyes started glowing furiously pink. He took two steps back. Someone behind me screamed in fear. I didn't care. Then a thought hit me. He killed Lotus. He killed one of my best friends. The same could happen to my other friends. I had to protect them too! I was about to take care of that but Future Boy had already ran off. The coward.

Tears started rolling down my cheek. I wiped them away and looked up at the guy. "Sorry, you shouldn't have seen me like that." He looks at me. "It must be hard but please tell me what exactly happend." I nodded. Suddenly he took out a little recording machine. "What's that for?" I said. "Did i forget to mention? I work for the newspaper! I like writing the other side of stories and this is just perfect! Can i please record it?" He asks. The question took me off guard. Me? In the newspaper? "Yeah sure, why not?" I say startled. Then i tell him the story. Ofcourse i didn't give him any names or anything. But the needed details were given. "Whoa" He says when i'm finished. I give him a small smile. "Can i ask you one more question please?" He asks. I nod. "Who are you, behind the mask?" Then a doctor walks in. "She's awake!" He tells me. I look at the boy and say: "You should find that out by yourself!" Then i follow the doctor inside Lucille's room.

After a few check ups the doctor walkout of the door. I start crying and give her a hug. "I'm so sorry!" I yell out. She laughs at me and pushes me away from her. "It's okay, i ruined your chance and you acted on an impulse. Just like you always do." I shake my head but laugh. Then she gets serious. "I can't believe it's you." I look away. "I'm sorry..." She shakes her head. "You shouldn't be. It's not your fault. But why didn't you tell me?" I tell her the same story i just told the boy outside. "I didn't want the same to happen to you or Colin." I say. She nods. It's quiet for a while. Then she suddenly asks: "So now what?" I look at her. "The same as always." She shakes her head. "I want to help. You have all the right to stop him, not just because what he did to you, but because he's dangerous!" I shake my head wildly. "No! You're not going to help, not even a little! You heard what happend to Lotus! I can't loose you too! And besides, why did you try to stop me earlier if you want to help me kill him now?" I say. "Well, then i didn't know the story, now i do. And I won't die, and if i do, you'll still have Colin!" I look at her and shake my head again. "I don't want Colin i want you!" She looks at me and then stares out of the window for a while. "I have an idea" She suddenly says. "Can't we make a homebase or something? In our skatingtrack! Like in Batman! I'll be Alfred and you'll be Batman!" I think about it for a while. Why not? This way she's safe and she won't do anything stupid. "Okay." I say. "But promise me you won't do anything stupid and that you'll never tell anyone else about it!" She nods. "With pleasure!" She asks what happend when i knocked her out and i tell her about the girl who told me she was alive and about the young journalist asking me to tell him my story and if he could publish it. "Cool!" She says. Then the doctor comes in. "We want to do a few test and if everything is OK you can go home." Then he looks at me. "Could you leave please?" He says in a scared tone. "Yeah sure." I say, i wave at Lucille and then walk towards the door. "Kick his ass darling!" She says right before i close the door behind me. I walk out of the hospital and fly towards the city centre. Maybe Future Boy is still there, and otherwise he must have left the rope behind.
