Henry Danger: The T.R.U.T.H about Dystopia Vol 1

The Miracle Girl Who Knows Way Too Much

6 MONTHS TO THE PRESENT DAY...

[ JASPER'S POV ]

So maybe, I did slightly lie to Charlotte or maybe not tell her how everything went down. But to be completely honest, I can only really remember about fifty percent of what happened last - and I'm not in the mood for Charlotte to throw me that look for the next year of my life. And we all know what look I'm talking about.

I try to cast my mind back to last night as we make our way past the bar on our way to Henry. After spending the night with Patina over drinks, we decided to carry on things at her's, and I guess that's when things got out of hand. See even though I don't drink much, as soon as I do my brain completely shuts down, meaning my senses for rationality has left the chat. It occurred to me at 2.00 this morning when I found myself opposite Patina on her sofa that I had most defiantly blacked out. To make matters worse was the look on her face - she was shocked, her eyes wide open, her mouth gapping. Clearly I had somehow messed up big time, and now I was about to get slaughtered for it. My nerves rising I try to say sorry, but just as I'm about to a scream blurts out from her as she carries on rapidly talking.

'HENRY HART'S KID DANGER! YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH KID DANGER!' 

I stop - everything around me feels like its slowing down as I feel the pounding of my heart in my throat. I begin to wipe my more than usual sweaty hands on my jeans, while both trying to not die and to collect my thoughts. The problem is I need to act now before I say anything else that could dig me further down the hole, but typically as soon as I begin to speak I'm cut off again from the girl who knows way too much.

'So you could totally fight crime togthger? Especially with the whole sleep fighting thing! Oh my god - can I be part of it too?' She grabs my drenched hand as she chatters excitedly away. Maybe I didn't need to dig myself deeper down as I have already fell down it far enough.

'Jasper,' Her voice comes across timid this time as she lifts my head so my gaze meets hers. Just like when she kissed me before I feel myself melting in her hands, I have no backbone, no willpower, I'm certainly all hers. A girl that finally actually likes me - I just need to remember to act cool.

'I can help you. I can make you a proper superhero!' She had my attention before but then I was suddenly spiralling. Of course, I want to be a superhero, its the only thing I've ever wanted really to fight alongside my bros. But due to my rotten luck, the only time I did I couldn't even remember it. For the next hour, she then explained to me all about T.R.U.T.H. and how she simply told them her problem, her unfixable problem, and they then fixed it in under a hour. It apparently cost her nothing - they had simply wanted to see if this new drug would actually work. In my head it sounded great, while in reality it all seemed far too good to be true. But there was Patina right there proving anything was possible, so why couldn't I take the leap like her? I guess I was worried, I did have stuff to lose. I just weren't sure how far I was willing to go to get powers?

'Hey, are you are listening?'

I break from my day dream back to reality where I stand facing Charlotte on the street, she's got the exact look on her face. The one I didn't want to be faced with. I end up gasping dramatically and placing a hand to my chest.

'Me? Yes, I most certainly was, my little -'

'Look, clearly you weren't , and never call ne a pet name. I don't want to have to slap a boy!' She raises a hand. Maybe it was a risk I was willing to take.

This was by far my favourite chapter to write yet! I just love how everything is beginning to come togthger,
