Storm was adding on locks to her door, as she heard someone outside her door. She opened it, snapping out her switchblade, and found Jughead in her direct line of attack.

"Good grief, Jughead. Don't you have school to get to?" She asked, lowering both the drill as well as her blade.

"Is it true? That Weatherbee expelled you and now you're taking law school online?" He asked and she scratched a spot on her neck, with a slight nod. "It makes sense, you were basically born, to be one. You are a perfect mediator."

Jughead seemed more excited with each passing moment that he was on the topic, while Storm says nothing, as she walked alongside him.

"You brought me as good, strong backup in case they saw what did you say?" Storm asked, as he showed her a video of Archie, along with a bunch of guys in Red Hoods.

"We will find you." Storm groaned under her breath as she rubbed her eyes furiously. "He is going to be the one to get himself killed." She says as they walked into Southside High, and they walked into the cafeteria and the group of Serpents were already into it and Toni was there as well.

"Shit." She said for them both, as Jughead was still on the phone with Betty, and she walks over to the table and they all looked up at her.

"You think you can attack us from the shadows. But Riverdale is the one, who is stronger than you." Storm shook her head at them.

"Guess we're not watching funny cat videos?" Jughead asked with much of his normal humor and Storm lowered her head slightly.

"We will find you." Archie's voice was coming from the broken and taped up computer.

"Check this out. Some sick in the head Northsider posted a crazy ass video as we were just talking." Sweet Pea says.

"About what?" Jughead asked and Storm looked like she was about to hurl, knowing what was most likely coming next.

"Fogarty wants to earn his Serpent stripes. I say, you just bring us all, that Northsider's head, you're in." Sweet Pea says.

"I'm down with that." Fangs said as Sweet Pea laughed, banging his fist on the table as he did.

"Well guess what Fangs. Sorry, you are not gonna have the chance today to do it, Fogarty. Or ever." Storm says coldly, cutting off the laughter, really quick, as she stood up.

"Why not? Give us one good reason why we shouldn't go after him and we will consider it depending on the good reason of course." Sweet Pea says and she looked at them all, and she shakes her head.

"That guy, saying all those crazy things about the Black Hood. That's the guy who drove my dad to hospital without a license. That's the guy who I was born right beside. I grew up, with him. That's my twin brother."

She says and they all stopped immediately, and she looked at them all sitting at the table, her eyes still in a fiery rage.

"That a good enough reason for you and the rest, Sweet Pea?" She asks and he looked down at the laptop.

"You're a Northsider. Of course you would lie and say that's he's your twin to protect him." Fangs says and as he spoke, Storm's fist was clenching shut on the table.

"He is my twin brother. His name is Archie Andrews. This is my birthdate and ID. So go ahead. Say that I'm lying Fangs." She said, tossing her driver's license on the table and Fangs picked it up.

"Storm Andrews. Age 16." He read out and tossed it back to her. "You're lying to get a point across." He insisted.

"If I was lying, then why would I still be here talking to you guys, defending an idiot who created a violent video to draw serial killers out? Riddle me that Fangs."

She said, grabbing her license off the table, and she put it back into her tiny wallet.

"Assuming you haven't killed my twin yet, you know where to find me." Eyes blazed as she walks away.

"That went well." Fangs noted.

Storm was in the garage the next day, when she heard the all too familiar all new sounds of motorcycle engines.

She put down the cue stick, placing it against the wall, quickly. Shutting the screen of her laptop and she was then looking out the door.

"Oh great. What did my brother do now?" She mumbled to herself, as she opened the door.
