Between Hero's

chapter 3

Highwires POV

it was strange. The crock had turned into being a hero just like me. A pretty cool one at that. Even though he haden't been wearing any mask it had been hard to see his facial futures inside the dark hood he had been wearing. Make it difficult to determine how he looked like. But i had definitely manage to register that he was young, probably approximately my own age, maybe older. He had amazingly blue eyes that seemed to gleam like a cats. And he had been tall. almost a head taller then myself, and i wasn't short. 

He was fit to. More fit then i whit my scrawny body could ever hope to be. My power prevented me from bulking up much. he had called himself shade for shadow. I wonder how long it took him to come up whit that name. Newbies where so much fun. My own little siblings had gone through the most ridicules names in the beginning.. i bet he been through names like. Shadow warrior or shadior. Shadox ore ninja-man. I chuckled to myself ore how about shady..? nonono that sounded more like a villain. A very shady villain. I chuckled again lets see, he was a very quite dude.. so maybe shady shut?silent shad, i lol'd to myself. Nah Shade was way way better then anything like that. After all he had really moved like a shadow or a cat maybe. it had been fascinating to see him move so easily like that really.soundless. So shadow wasn't such a bad name after all when i thought about it. He had picked a good name. I was just bout to invite him to go crock hunting together whit me soon, i mean so we could become good friends, when he took some swift agile steps forth and pulled down my mask from my face. Oh not good. Secret identity out the window, that's as much i manage to think and as i told him off to respect others identity's. That's when he suddenly had leaned forward and his demanding lips clasped on to mine, i could feel the usual trickle that came from touching anything that could conduct electricity, the feeling spreed across my lips. I was to surprised by the action and the fact i had not noticed him moving to really react. He had been really fast... not as fast as me but still pretty darn fast. Enough to surprise me whit it, and halloo i was fricking electricity. I was so stunned by it all that it took until he grabbed hold of me and pulled me so tight that i could feel his well shaped muscular chest against my own skinny one, and all this before i realized i was fucking kissing! I was being kissed by another fricking dude..! and i found i didn't hate it ether. Wait stop the presses!What the hell? When did this happen? No instead i had been wondering where that nice manly smell came from. Was it his perfume? His aftershave ore just him? I was shocked. I finally manage to break my speeding train of thoughts long enough to break the kiss and push him away. My face burning. Then i remembered i could just as easily just had shocked him away.. why hadn't i shocked him? I mean he stole a kiss from me that crock. I just couldn't figure it all out. My head was a huge jumble of thoughts and impressions. I was so shocked that all the words inside that used to be sentences was now just a huge mess of random words. And then he smiled at me very charmingly i might add. This guy definitely had a hoard of girls after him. I suddenly manage to comprehend what he had said. Playing it off as a joke to shut me up. Well that had worked had it not? it.. i was now tonguetied whopdeedooo..but had it really been a joke? Where he ore where he not gay? And what if he was? Why would that matter? Was i not gonna be friends whit him just because he kissed me? It was not like i cared about such stupid things. But some rules had to be set. No kissing when crock hunting. Specially not whit electric current.. and sens that pretty much what i was built of...no kissing period. Before i knew it ore was even Abel to tell him this he had left the roof. Saying something about a theatre. I guess i could follow him if i really wanted to. but it was probably better if i headed home, before someone else try'd anything funny. I did need a couple of minutes rest before school stated. I licked my lips, his taste was still there. And they where still tingling.

 Shades POV

running over the in the backyards, keeping out of sight until i reached the two store house i suppose to call a home i quickly got up to slightly ajar window i had left opened for my return. the room was dark and the house was quite. just how ii liked my home to be like. so i swung my legs over the windowsill and jumped inside, As soon as my feats hit the floor of my room i changed my clothes and went to bed. I changed my clothes hiding them under the bed inside a box. I layed down on my bed hands behind my head, back against the Madras looking up onto the sealing. Thinking to myself about my strange action. What the hell had i been thinking? My GF would kill me if she knew i had kissed someone else.especially another guy that looked as weird as he did. I mean we both where in the inner circle of the school. Popular rich and handsome, there where after all a serten standard to that status to upkeep. And kissing spandex clad electrifying guys of some roof was not on the list for what to do.and it was to be totally frank boring. But if those unwritten rules where ever broken. Then all hell would be crumbling down. And i was pretty sure i would be found out. And my identity would be blown to pieces. Us cool guys didn't have it as easy as many thought it was allot of pressure at the top. Pressure to be and act a serten way ore you lose it all. And even if you where bored out of your frigging mind there where nothing you could really do about it.so i guess this was my rebellion against it all. My own little secret. That's why when i noticed i had these powers i wanted to do something whit them. Be something more. Now my boring social standing would come in handing as a nice little front instead. But really that kiss had been fucking worth it. Those sparks had felt awesome and he had really been cute. I had suspected for a while i might like guys as well as girls. I guess this proves that. Would it be OK to be flirting whit him during the night lightheartedly and still keep my GF during the day. I mean they where different identity's. Ore did it still count as cheating? I guess it did butt still...i slowly drifted off to sleep wondering over these things. Still feeling the light tinglings over my lips.

Highwires POV

on returning home i got in through the hidden entrance my mom and dad had gotten us. my own door Leeds me up to a hidden room behind my closet where all my hero stuff where hidden. actually it would become my sisters room to once her powers kicked in for real. as of now the only thing present in the room that was hers was a cape and a mask hanging in a wall mounter wardrobe. i had my own to that's where i changed and hung my hero outfit every night after patrol. just like today. there was a shower, a first aid kit and a couple of funny gadgets in the room to that i managed to get hold of. and two doors. one leading to my sisters closet and the other one to my own. it wasn't as hightec as it all sounded really. the tunnel was an old sewer chacket no one used anymore. probably didn't even know it existed. but we had cleaned it out and secured it from nosy intruders. then there where holes up to where mom and dads room and where my and my sisters rooms where whit a ordinary ladder up to where it got into a five by five sized room was whit a small shower cabinet. nothing fancy really. and the doors here just regular sliding-panels that led into the closet so no one would see us get into the hidden room. you had to know how to open the panel to get in. and that only  i knew at the moment. my parents had told me not to tell them sens the less people who knew how to get into my secret base the better. i finished changing into a green pj and got out of the room, into the closet, sliding the door shut just  to open the next door and walk out of the closet into my oh so messy teenage room. yeah i know why didn't i clean this space when my secret base was spotless. well simply because i didn't have to messy teen was actually a good cover. and a good excuse not to clean it up. i tossed myself on my bed, staring up at the sealing remembering the night. i dn't even know what to think about it at the moment. it was all such a mess and i was so tired. i would be beat at school tomorrow. luckily, i could be the speed of light when needed so all that was left of homework and what nots could be dealt whit before first class. for now i needed sleep. and the last i remember before the sweet dreams took hold of me completely was a confident smirk under a black hoody and my amazingly tingled lips.

(so i was dead tiered when i went through this part. hope there arent to many errors. im planing on updating the next chapter soon. i already have some of it down as a hard draft but i need to check it over and maybe add some stuff to it before i put it up.)
