(I just finished this and wanted to get it out asap. Also, I didn't know if you noticed, but I put dates everytime a new days comes, I do this so you'll know when we get to the big climax that i showed a glimpse of in the premiere. It's crazy how fast this story has gone! Hope you enjoy this one!)

Alice and Blake, otherwise known as She-Devil and Wildfire, enter their small hideout, the abandoned apartment, with the two heroes following behind.

"Hank" Alice says quite loudly, "Hank, we're back."

"Alice, he isn't here." Blake says coming out of his room.

"I wonder where he is."

Meanwhile...

Hank is hiding around the corner of a building. His shirt is dirty, and ripped up, sweat and blood runs down his face, and he is breathing hard. He looks around the corner of the building, seeing empty streets. "I've never seen New York so empty:" he thought to himself.

"I've done my part to make sure no one interferes..."

Hank turns around quickly to see Shade standing right beside him.

"You're the first visitor to have to guts to face me."

"You tried to kill me, you can't tell me your surprised to see me!" He says, going in for the punch, Shade switches to shadow form, and he phases right through Hank.

"You've tried that at least four times, boy, you can't over power me."

"I won't give up."

"And that's what really upsets me, so much potential in you, and you waste it trying to overpower the most powerful man on the planet."

"You will die."

He pulls out a gun from his pocket, and points it at Shade. Shade however, creates a small energetic shadow ball, and flings it at Hank. It explodes when it by the bullet, knocking Hank against a dumpster in the alley.

"Now, why don't you listen instead of continuing to embarrass yourself?"

Hank gets up, burn marks all over his front side of the body, "Go ahead...talk!"

"I have many plans and plots to our little 'power people' situation that has cooked up. I don't care about these rules that the President has enforced: the capturing of heroes, trying to cure them, and all that sh1t. All I want, is the most powerful ones, to help me achieve my goal."

"Which is?"

"Well, there are some things which can't be said aloud. Join me and my 'Shadow Gang' and I will explain the rest."

"How do I know this isn't some trap?"

"Because if I wanted you dead, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me."

-Back at the Hideout-

Alice, Blake, Jake, and Jason all sit on the floor, eating random foods that Blake had stolen.

"Jake, I'm not sure I feel comfortable eating stolen food." He whispers over to him.

"Why not, you didn't steal it."

"And why are we not, you know, sending these two to jail."

"Because, you said we're going to need all the teammates we can get if we're going to stop this little rampage the U.S. has gone over."

"What? I never said that..."

"Oh...well, then I did, and I think we should let them help us."

"How do you know we can trust them?"

"Because, they will want the President's act over just has much as we do."

Jason agrees with Jake's comment, but still doesn't eat the food. Something then comes to his head.

"Hey, listen guys, I will be back in a minute, I just remembered something..."

She-Devil quickly gets up, "What is it?"

"A family member..."

"Really" She says, suspicious.

"Alice, don't worry, he's telling the truth." Blake says.

"How do you know?" Alice asks.

"It's Brandon..."

Alice's eyes widen, "He's related to Jason?"

Jake breaks the awkward silence, "Can anyone say irony?"

Jason rolls his eyes, "Jake, will you be alright here?"

"Yeah, bro, I'm good."

Jason leaves the premises, leaving behind the three.

"So, it's Alice right?" Jake says walking over and sitting next to her.

Alice just sighs and walks over to Blake. Jake shrugs his shoulders and digs into some chips.

"So..." Blake begins, "Where did your whole attitude come from at Kroger?"

"Huh?"

"Your whole attitude, it completely changed."

"I don't know, I just got into the moment I guess, it definitely gives a rush."

"Yeah, sure does..."

-Later on-

Its dark now, the sky is cloudless, and the moon shines bright in the night sky. Jason enters his house, wearing a sweatshirt to cover his costume.

"Brandon? You in here?" He says loudly.

The house is pitch black except for the moonlight shining in. Jason goes for the light switch, but nothing comes on.

Geez, this is something you'd see in a horror movie...

Jason thinks to himself as Brandon still doesn't answer to his name. His heart actually begins to race.

Come on, Jase, what are you afraid of...This is your house, and your beginning to sweat, what are you scared of?

Jason sucks it up, and walks in determined, still calling out for Brandon, he walks up the stairs. His heart actually begins to pound faster, even though he doesn't show fear on the outside, he feels it inside.

"This is ridiculous, Brandon!" he yells.

After checking all the rooms, he finally comes to Brandon's at the end of the hallway. The door is closed; a small light can be seen coming from the room.

"Oh, good."

Jason walks up to the door and opens it. he looks around the room that is dimly lit by a candle in the middle. Over at the bed, he sees a lump under the covers.

"Brandon..."

He walks over and begins to nudge him, with no answer, he pulls off the covers, "Come on Brandon, and quit messing around."

As the covers pull off, A greenish creature screams in the face of Jason. Jason freaks out at the scream and slaps it across the face, knocking it against the wall.

"Oww, what the hell was that?"

"You scared the crap out of me!"

"That was the point, smart one."

"What happened to you?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You look like...don't take this offensive, a complete monster."

"Was it the scream? My voice is still messed up from the cold."

"Dude, this isn't a normal cold!"

"What?"

"Look at yourself!"

"I'm just a little pale...It freaked me out at first, but I looked it up online, paleness is very common."

"Brandon! Look at yourself!"

He walks over to a mirror, he sees his face, which is completely white with a green hue. His eyes are pure red, and his teeth have begun to look like fangs, almost has if their growing abnormally. His hair is also thinning. That one fro he had is no more.

"My god, what happened?"

"You tell me!"

"I'm a freakin freak!"

Something comes to Brandon's mind just then..."I know where I got this...from the old guy!" Brandon begins to act excited, which just plainly freaks out Jason.

"What old guy?"

"The old guy, on the plane, he yelled at me! He looked just like this, like an I am Legend sort of thing!"

"Wait...hold on...so this is like a disease?"

"I don't know...I mean, if it is, it is obviously more noticeable then the swine flu!"

"It can't be though, no one has ever seen anything like this, I mean, your disgusting! Look at your hands!"

He lifts them up and reveals his dry hands that are looking scaly and his fingernails which have gotten longer and sharper.

"So I haven't clipped my nails in a while..."

Jason walks up to Brandon.

"Brandon! Snap out of it! Listen to me! You are turning into something! I don't know what, I don't know why, and I don't know how! But this is not you normal disease, this is serious, now take it seriously!" he says.

Brandon is silent for a while...

"Why is the power out?"

"Power surge went through this neighborhood, killed all the electricity, guy said it'd be back by tomorrow."

"Well, then we're not staying here, come with me."

"You want me to go out like this?"

"Put a hoodie on!"

Monday, September 15, 2014

Joshua, or Dark One, sits down in his machine that he has been working on. Zane is over at the computer screen, and Hank stands by Joshua.

"So what is this thing?"

"This, my new friend, is what will give me and Shade more power than you can imagine, and once we have that power, and with the reliance on a few of Shade's friends, things on this earth will change...drastically."

The voice in Josh's voice showed just how serious he is. Hank knew he wasn't kidding around. "How does it work?"

"Well, you see, we need a..." Dark One was about to finish when Shade interrupted, "Looks like we've got another job."

"What does your shadowy friend as another task?"

"No, this is completely my idea."

"What is it?" Hank asks curiously.

"We're going after Obama."

"Why?"

"This anti-meteor thing he's going through is going to get out of control if we don't stop it. He already has the swat team roaming around neighborhoods tracking down with equipment only God knows where they got it."

"Yeah, okay, so let's just waltz into the white house and have a talk with the President. It's not that simple." Hank says confidently.

"God, Hank, have you been paying attention this whole time?" Shade yells, "I'm a freakin shadow for crying out loud!"

Zane walks back over towards the computer, Dark One follows him.

"Why the hell are we putting up with this Hank guy?"

"He's just for support; we'll dump him when the time's right."

"Can you trust him?"

"No, that's why I like him..."

Dark One is confused, but he just rubs it off, not understanding half the things Shade does.

-Meanwhile-

Jake and Jason sit on one side of the table, while Blake and Alice are on the other side. Brandon is in a bedroom inside Blake and Alice's little hideout.

"Okay, so, here's the deal, me and Jake have decided we need your help." Jason says.
"What is this, some kind of meeting?" Blake interrupts.

"Somewhat...and if you want the chance of living in the next few days, I suggest you listen." Jason continues, "We all know Obama has given the act to give away all meteor freaks."

"Dude, you completely stole that from Smallville." Jake interrupts. Jason gives him a stern look before continuing on, "We POWER PEOPLE" he over exaggerates to Jake, "Are being put away at a quick rate, they've estimated almost 200 have been put away around the world, not only that, scientists in D.C. are working on a cure from a meteor shard that I...I mean, they found."

Jake looks over at him, now realizing what he actually almost said.

"I have a small plan that hopefully will get us in with Obama, and we can talk to him about this whole thing."

"What's in it for us?" Alice says.

"We won't send you to jail for theft." Jake says.

"Fair enough." She responds.

"What's your idea for getting in the White House."

"I am planning on breaking out a girl who may help us."

"What makes you so sure she will?" Blake asks.

"She's my girlfriend."

"How can we get in with her?"

"She's a freakin shadow, should be easy for her."

"What about your friend, Brandon?" Blake continues to ask questions.

"He's gonna have to sit this one out, considering he has no powers, it'll be dangerous for him."

"He's not going to like that." Jake says.

"I know, but he'll have to take one for the team."

While they talk inside, unknowingly to them, a creature stands outside, he has four skinny arms, his whole, skinny body is a pure blue, and his tail is about the length of his body. He peeks into the window, almost like an animal, he sniffs out his surroundings, and makes weird squeak noises, after he sees them scatter away from the table, the creature grows wings like a fly, and quickly sails off into the air.

Jake walks over to Jason on one side of the room, "This is risky, think we can trust them?"

Jason watches Blake and Alice converse in the other room.

"I don't know, that's what scares me though.

-A little later that day-

The man known only has the Pickster, in his dark over coat, sits in a dark room, with barely any light. The blue creature flies in through a curtain covering the window, the sunlight shone through and gave a glimpse of Pickster's face. The creature speaks. His voice is nasally, and hard to understand, but Pickster knows him.

"Sir, sir, they are planning to attack, they have from what I've seen four of them."

"Then we will take the proper measures. Get me the President."

The blue creature walks over to a small control panel in the other room, presses a few buttons. On Pickster's wrist is a small television screen. The President appears on it. He looks confident, but on the inside, he knows that his life is on the line.

"Mr. President, I have enjoyed the way these last few days went, but they are planning to revolt...there is only one thing to do, Mr. President."

He says with shame, "What is it?"

"Kill anyone with a meteor energy reading."

"Kill? I thought it was the one thing you were against."

"Drastic times call for drastic measures Mr. President."

The screen goes blank, not letting the President respond.

"Thank you Spyder."

The blue creature, Spyder, crawls back in, "My pleasure, sir."
