Harrisboy

Chapter Eighteen

Huey went to Mateo Worldwide Media with new pictures of Harrisboy. 

He smiled at Katie as he saw newspaper headline. 

"HARRISBOY & NEW VILLAIN TERRORIZES UNION STATION!" The words in bold font filled the headlines. 

Huey frowned as he balled the copy of the newspaper and tossed it in the newspaper. "Huey, what's wrong?" Katie asked in concern. Huey walked past her and marched straight to Mr. Mateo's office. 

"This is bullshit, Mateo!" Huey raised his voice. 

"Hold on, who do you think you are marching in a man's office like that?" Mateo said.

"Harrisboy saved them people down by Union Station. This is fake news!" Huey said.

"It is not! I resent that!" Mateo argued back. "Think of me as....speaking the truth about your little friend flying around and causing havoc upon Kansas City. You see it as fake news because you can't see the truth."

"You don't trust people. That's your problem." Huey replied. 

"I trust The Bill Maher Show on CBS." Mateo quipped. "Why do you defend this guy so much? What are you? His lawyer? Get the hell up out of my office with that! I speak about whoever I want!" 

Mateo lit himself a cigar with a match and tossed the ash out the window. But suddenly, he felt the ash fly back on his desk. Mateo gave a confused look as he looked back at the window closely. 

But a dark figure crashed through the window as smoke surrounded the office. People screamed as they tried to evacuate the building. 

"Mateo!" The Black Plague yelled as he emerged from the darkness of the window. "Who is the person who takes the pictures of Harrisboy?!" The Black Plague grabbed him by his collar and held him in the air. "Umm, I don't know where he is! I just have a intern!" 

Huey went to go change into Harrisboy. The Black Plague threw Mateo to the wall in frustration. 

As he about to destroy the building, Harrisboy flew in front of him. "Plague, lets have some respect from Kansas City's crappiest news source." Harrisboy quipped. 

"Harrisboy! I knew you two were in on this together!" yelled Mateo. 

"Settle down, Mateo! The adults are talking!" Harrisboy smirked. 

Black Plague smirked as he hovered towards Harrisboy. "Chosen One, huh? The so-called perfect hero." He chuckled as he eyes glowed from dark energy. "Tell me, what made you so worthy?" 

Harrisboy frowned as he looked aside. "Well, I don't know.....Maybe this!" Harrisboy kneed him in the groin, laughing loudly. 

"Yeah, I kicked you in your villain balls! I got something for you bit-" 

Black Plague punched him off the building, making him fall on top of a SWAT truck. "I've tried to go easy on you, Harrisboy. But since you wanna play around..." 

Black Plague started blasting at civilians with his dark energy. "Give me your power.....or die!"

Harrisboy flew towards Black Plague and knocked him towards Downtown KCK. He landed in the street to see Black Plague getting back up. They walk towards each other, smoke billowing through the air as Harrisboy was ensnared in his force field. "Look man, I'm sorry I kicked you in the nuts! I didn't mean it! Please don't kill me!" Harrisboy whimpered. 

Black Plague smirked. "You cower like a child...." He threw him on the ground. "You can't fight forever, Huey Harris. I know who you are. And soon, I will destroy this city....and everyone you care about!" 

Black Plague disappeared into dark mist. Harrisboy was completely petrified. 

He wanted to become a hero, but he didn't want his loved ones to die because of his actions.
