Super Secret~ A Villain's Story

29

"I need your help, Inferno." His eyes went wide and he let his arm drop just standing there in shock. "Please..."

"Why should I ever help you? After what you did to Patton. AGAIN!" I cringed hearing the pain and anger in his voice and I held my hands close to my chest. "You scared the shit out of him. You almost killed him.

"Roman, I..."

"Don't." He growled out through his teeth and I winced at the blast of hot air that pushed me back. "I don't know who the fuck you think you are..."

"IT'S ME! Roman its... it's me." He narrowed his eyes as I dropped to the ground holding myself tightly. "I should have known. I mean... I did the same damn thing. It never clicked that you might have been Inferno."

"You really have lost it..."

"Mr. Sanders class. English..." His eyes went wide as I just sat there spilling it all out. I can't believe I'm going to tell him. But... I need his help. I have to risk it. "There's this c-creative writing project. You brought in like five notebooks just about Inferno... Who I know is you so... It works I guess."

"How the..."

"I totally pissed you off. God damn, that's why you lost it. Funny now that I realize." I looked up at him smiling through the tears that started to fall. He was so lost and confused even I couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. "I set you off and then you turned around and paid me back for it."

"That's it I'm done list..."

"I brought in a book too." He froze in place, his hand still outstretched towards the handle. He slowly turned back to look at me with this horrified expression. "I brought in a book too. Of course, mine was about me. Biggest mistake of my life too because you totally invaded my privacy." I laughed a little and he just fell back leaning against the wall for support.

"Cassidy?" I nodded as I slowly took my mask off. His eyes went wide as he slid down to the floor in complete shock.

"Now that you know and all.." I punched him in the arm hard and he just shot me this confused and shocked look as I laughed. "That's for stealing my fucking diary you jackass!" I punched him again and he just glared at me. "And that's for reading it out loud!"

"What was that?!" I tensed up again throwing my hand over Roman's mouth for a second time hearing people running down the hall. We can't stay here. Roman pulled my hand away and just groaned.

"What is going on, Caz?"

"Jax..." He just raised an eyebrow in confusion as I rolled my eyes. "The asshole just trying to start shit... I need help."

"With what destroying the school?" He was laughing but I just glared and he froze up realizing what was going on. "HE'S GONNA DESTROY THE SCHOOL?!"

"SHH!" I put my mask back on as I inched towards the door feeling Roman grab my hand.

"Caz... I'm sorry."

"What for?" I nudged the door open a smidge to see if the coast was clear and Roman squeezed my hand.

"For pushing you..." I pulled my hand from his and slowly opened the door more as I gestured for Roman to follow. "... I told you I would understand and yet I still..."

"Roman, can we not get into this right now..." He grabbed my arm again making me stop and look at him.

"He's not hurt, you know. And he doesn't blame you. In fact, he gave me quite the earful... I'm sorry." He let go and started to fidget as I just shook my head. Now really isn't the time to be talking about this. "Wait?" His eyes went wide and I narrowed mine. "Does Logan know who you are? Is that why you went after him?"

"Logan? No." I shook my head and he let out a big breath of air like a sigh of relief and I frowned. Why would he be asking about Logan? Besides, I never went after him. I went after... My eyes went wide and my breath caught in my chest. "Logic does... T-That's why I went after Logic."

"That's what I said. Why did you..." I shook my head as I absentmindedly placed my hand gingerly onto my lips remembering the kiss we shared. "I said Logan didn't I?" I nodded and he facepalmed. L-Logan... He's Logic. That's why he was so upset at Roman that one day of class. And why he came home drinking the night I rejected his kiss. And why he suddenly seemed so concerned about me in class... My Nerdy Hero... Was right there the whole time!

"HE READ MY FUCKING DIARY!" I am so kicking his ass if I ever make it out of this. I grabbed Roman's hand a booked it out the door and into the commons only to freeze hearing the explosions. I spun around to see everything slowly going up in flames and went completely rigid as the memories slowly began to fill my mind again. Just fire... and smoke... and ash...

AND LAUGHTER!  I was just lost in everything until I saw Virgil just pop up out of nowhere grabbing my hand with a very worried look.

"CASSIDY!" I narrowed my eyes in confusion as he grabbed Roman's hand to dragging us all off somewhere. This group of people filled the area and I froze in fear and Virgil squeezed our hands tightly. The villain past us without even looking our way. When they finally disappeared from view I yanked my hand from Virgil's and just started to pace in shock.

"What the..."

"Caz we need to go.." I shook my head and crossed my arms... mainly just to stop the shaking but still. "Cassidy..."

"You have powers?" Virgil frowned and Roman looked away awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "You... You had powers all this time. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?!" His eyes darkened as he held up this camera and I frowned. "No..."

"I'm a reporters kid, Caz. You knew how much I..."

"YOU'RE ANXIETY?!"

"Can we not do this right now we don't have..." I glared at the both of them causing Roman to clam up and I quickly grabbed both of there arms blinking right the fuck out of there. Now you might be wondering why I didn't do that in the first place well... Blinking to places you can't physically see is a huge risk. You never know where you'll end up. Blinking with a partner is incredibly draining. You have to compensate for the extra baggage somehow.

"Deceit?" I opened my eyes to see we were in Patton's huge back yard and I smiled wide letting the two go. I turned to see Patton standing there confused and worried and I took a step forward only for my body to give out. I felt my body drop as it all went completely black.

"CASSIDY!"
