The Young Avengers

Unleashed

It's safe to say that I didn't really follow Wanda's advice and have been avoid John for few days. Luckily he hasn't tried to track me down, he probably moved onto someone else. If it's not me, I don't care, I have had to go through this way to long. "Billy slow down!" A voice yelled pulling me from my thoughts.

"And you call me the slow one Kate." I joked making her roll her eyes.

"That's in the mornings, and you usually are! Why have you suddenly walking faster than Quicksilver?" She asked with a raised brow.

"It's nothing. I just have to get home early today, you know my mom and dad need help and stuff."

"Billy I know something is going on. You've been distant these past few days, and you're a shit liar. Tell me what happened." She said in a stern tone grabbing my wrist stopping me making me sigh.

"I'm trying to avoid John. I'm tired of running into him and getting beat up for it!" I yelled yanking my arm from her.

"Oh God. That's why he's- Uh" She stopped herself.

"He's what? What is he doing Kate?"

"Nothing.." She said quietly.

"Katherine Elizabeth Bishop. Tell me what the fuck is going on!" I said angrily.

"Since he hasn't been able to beat on you... He moved onto some of the freshman." She said looking down. I couldn't say a word. John is a big guy, especially for a sophomore, he stood over six feet tall and was well built so he can be very intimidating even to the seniors. 

"Where was he at? Where did you last see him Kate?" I asked almost whispering. I could feel the anger flowing through my blood.

"Last time I saw him he was walking with a freshman down the street past the subway entrance. I'm not sure where they were headed though."

"Don't worry I know exactly where they went. I'll be right back, wait for me in the subway." I said dropping my bag and running to the alley that had my blood spilled.

----------------------------------

I slowed down when I got close to the alley. From a few blocks back I could see Johns' goons standing guard like they did when I was the victim. There is no way that I will be able to get past them, I'll need to find a different way in there.

Walking around the large building I made it to the other side of the alley. No one was guarding this side of the alley, but a fence blocked me from getting to John. From the fence I could see Johns back, with a small teen in front of him fear all over his face. The boy looked over to me, frozen in fear his eyes widened as if he was screaming for help. I held up my finger to my lips telling him to keep quiet. I slowly and quietly tried to climb the fence, only to have it squeak each time I put my foot in a metal link.

"Do you know why you're here kid?" John asked looking down at him, arms crossed. I hopped down off the top of the fence and rolled to brace the fall and keep it as quiet as possible. "Well you're here because there have been things said about me that I didn't like all that much. I was wondering if you knew who started to spread these rumors?" The teen stiffened from the words as John began to pace around him. This forced me to jump behind a trash can so he couldn't see me. 

"N-no John. I-I don't know w-who st-tarted them." I could hear the fear in his voice making me shake with anger.  I stood up not caring if he saw me at this point.

"Leave him the fuck alone John! Pick on someone your own size!" I yelled with a shaky voice.

"Oh well, well, looks like he finally shows himself! I was wondering how long you would hide from me! Looks like it took three freshman and a sophomore." He said cockily pushing the teen down onto the ground. He stepped over him only to kick him in the stomach making the kid cry. "So how about you wait a little bit while I finish this up." He leaned down picking up the teen by his collar and slamming him against the wall.
