AUDREY FREEMAN

"You know, we'll happily look for Billy, more than happy but no, you have to wash dishes, that's more important!" Freddy said, annoyed as the rest of them, who was all busy typing on their computers and making a call on their phones. "What are you going to do, Freddy, run after him?" he chuckles sarcastically, "Very funny."

Were currently doing dishes, dinner just ended and it's our turn to do the dishes.

"You know, you look like a fool talking by yourself, " I said while I rolled my eyes.

"I was right, I knew he was gonna run away!" he said with an 'i-told-you-so look' and I just shrugged at him.

Just a moment later, something bang on the window in front of them as we let out a scream, I saw a sign says 'Don't scream!!' and a man with a white cape covering his head appeared.

"I said don't scream!" the man exclaimed.

"Victor! Victor! Victor!" Freddy yells and he pushed me behind him as I stared to the man with a confused look.

"No, no, no," the man said. "It's me! It's Billy! It's Billy!" Freddy fell silent and I just look at him with my eyes widen.

What the heck this man talking, he's nothing like Billy!

Freddy fell silent, "The hell you talking about?" I asked. "Freddy, you asked me flight or invisibility and I thought that was stupid but now I look like this and I need help from you two," the man urges.

"Meet me back here after lights out?" the man who claimed he's Billy asked, and we just blinked in response. 

What if that man tries to kidnap us?, I thought.

The sound of footsteps approaching to us had the man quickly hid as Freddy and I stared at each other. "What the hell just happened?" I whispered. " I have no idea," Freddy answered.

"What's up, bud? You two alright?" Victor asked as he walked in.

"Uh, yeah, we're just... really sad because Billy's gone and you know, maybe it's our fault. Maybe we did it, you know, maybe we.. we snore." Freddy babbled, I just nodded and keep the straight face as I really wanted to laugh at his 'reason'.

Victor walked over to us, "Hey, it's not your fault, alright?" Victor assured us as he hugged us, "We'll find him."

Victor pulled away from the hug and place his hands on our shoulder, "Audrey didn't snore and you don't snore that bad, son," Victor assured us. He scrunched up his nose and sniffled Freddy, "But you kinda smell, son."

I let out a chuckle as Freddy pinch my unwounded arm lightly and rolled her eyes in embarrassment. Victor just chuckled and patted our backs before walking out of the room.

He glared at me, "Don't even speak about it," he said. "I'm just gonna take a shower," he added and I stifled a laugh.

"Do we really have to do this? I mean he's nothing like Billy!" I exclaimed, "Maybe he kidnapped Billy and trying to kidnap us too!" I added.

Freddy handed me his phone, "Here, ready to dial 9-1-1, if he does anything fishy, we'll just have to tap the dial button," He said. "You noticed the lightning bolt in his chest, that looks legit, Auds," He added.

We got outside and closed the door behind us before making our way towards the man, who claimed to be Billy. He was looking to his reflection in a car mirror when 'Billy' saw us, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Freddy, Audrey! Thank God!" he cries as he runs over to us, I was quick to hold Freddy's phone while my finger hovered to the dial button. "Hey, stop right there. How do we know you're not a supervillain using your telepathic abilities to make believe your Billy, huh?" Freddy said, "Yeah, all I have to do is press the dial button on this thing," I added.

"No, no! I can prove it! I can prove it!" he exclaimed, "Here." He pulled out a backpack that I recognized as Billy's, "Look, I lied, okay? I took your bullet." He pulled out an open ziplock that held our Superman bullet in it for only to fall onto the grate before falling into the sewers.

"Oh no!" he cries, "No! No! No!" Freddy and I yelled as we bent down to the ground. I glared at the man and said, "Do you know how expensive is that, mister?!"

"Sorry, Audrey! Stupid adult hands, but you both saw it! You both did! You both saw it, right?" he asked as we both just stared at him. "Freddy, Audrey, I swear it's me." he urges.

I just stared at him and let out a sigh and shrugged, we still both look unconvinced to this man in front of us. "Freddy, Audrey, look, I know we're not really close friends or anything, but you two are the only people I know that knows anything about this cape crusader stuff, " he said.

"That's batman," Freddy and I corrected as we both give a playful glare at each other. "What?" Billy asked, "Forget it," Freddy told him.

We both still standing in disbelief as Freddy glance down to Billy's chest, to the lightning bolt symbol of Billy's ridiculous costume. "Can I?" Freddy asked, gesturing to the symbol. "Oh, yeah, yeah," Billy answered.

Freddy reached further as he touched the symbol, electricity touched Freddy's hands and his movies his fingertips feel like the electricity following his touch. Freddy let out an excited chuckle that made me smile, I never saw Freddy so happy like that.

"Oh my god!" he excitedly exclaimed, his eyes returning to me. "Auds, you've really got to try this." I looked at Billy, asking for permission and he just smiles and nods. I was quick to reach out and the electricity occurred to me as I touch the symbol, I grinned widely at this, "Holy Moly."

"It's crazy, right?" Billy asked. "What are your superpowers?" Freddy asked and I nodded in agreement. 

"Superpowers? Dude, I don't even know how to pee in this thing."
