Chapter Seventeen
I didn't Realize Everything I Said Turned Into a Sexual Innuendo

Currently, Static and I were siting across from each other, each in our own jail cell. Despite the cold and frightening scenery You're probably wondering what happened. Well, so am I. Although they told us were a few details.

Apparently a man named Keegan Foster - the man I found - was out looking for his son - the boy - Jacob. Supposedly, when Keegan found him dead, he did the reasonable thing and called the police. But as he was calling, he mentioned there being Supers there, who I guess, attacked him.

Now, us being the only two Supers at the crime scene gives them a legitimate reason to suspect that we were the ones to kill both of the victims, unless they find something that proves otherwise, which is very doubtful.

If you're wondering if they took of our masks, then no, they didn't. For obvious privacy reason they don't remove a Super's mask unless they have been proven guilty and is headed to prison. Only then will their identity be exposed.

"We're dead," I moaned against the wall of my cell, "We're alive, but we're dead."

"No we're not," Static responded. "We didn't do anything wrong."

I lifted my head to look at him. "We didn't do anything, but right now all they have is evidence supporting that we did."

I continued to bang my head against the wall, letting out loud and annoying moans and groans as I did.

"Honestly, there's nothing to be worried about," Static sighed, "I'm just bored. Could you pass the Rubix cube?"

I looked down at the pile of stuff they gave us for entertainment, (Don't ask me why they did, maybe they were just afraid we would bash their faces) and grabbed the six-by-six Rubix cube and slid it through the bars and into Static's nasty cell.

Static picked up the cube and held it in his palm as he inspected it, before quickly twisting and turning it, moving the colours around so that all was left was the solved Rubix cube.

"I'm bored again," Static put down the cube and let his eyes hover over the jail bars.

"You know we can break out, right?" I looked up to see Static, one brow raised as he gave me a incredulous look.

"No we can't," I lazily raised my wrists, which were brought together by the officers' new 'Power-Proof' hand cuffs.

"They cuffed our hands," Static went on, "it only disables the power in our hands. Their technology isn't very advanced. For you, so far you've only been able to control your shield starting from the center of your palms. I, on the other hand, can sprout my electricity from anywhere in my body."

"Oh," I tilted my head, "Why don't you use it? Your electricity power, I mean."

"Why don't I use it?" He repeated then shrugged. "I'm not really sure. I guess since it's a pretty powerful thing, I try to cause the least amount of damage possible than I already have."

I wanted to tell him that what he just said helps prove my point that he's good. I mean, he just said he doesn't enjoy causing more damage than needed. But instead I stayed quiet and let the conversation drop.

"Shall we break out?" He questioned.

"But how?" I asked.

"I still have my super strength," Static wiggled his eyebrows. I wasn't sure how suggestive that gesture was, or what it implied, but I chose to ignore it.

"Then do something," I urged him.

Static sighed at lifted his wrists in front of him. He lifted his his foot and used his heel to kick the chain which connected the two cuffs together, sliding his hands out and shaking it off like it was no big deal. For some reason I found it strangely attractive.

No. No I didn't.

He started to approached me, despite the large bars separating us. Static wrapped his hands around two bars and swiftly pushed them aside, creating an open hole which was obviously not there before.

"Noah!" I jumped in shock.

Realizing what I had just called him, I quickly clamped my hand over my mouth and I could feel my face heating up in embarrassment. I don't know what I called him that, I guess maybe it was a slight suspicion.

Static froze mid step fro a second, before looking up to meet my eyes. I couldn't read his expression.

I jumped again as he let out a laugh, not looking angry or anything.

"You think I'm Noah?" He chuckled. "That's seriously what you think?" He shook his head and smiled, "Even after what I just did..."

"When you basically bent those bars at a ninety degree angle?" I asked him.

He waved it away, and smile still lingering on his face. "Trust me, you don't know who I am." He said. "Never mind, let's just get out of here."

***

"Police state that our known Gone Girl has joined Static in rebelling against the city." Said the brunette woman. She sat at a desk with her hands clasped together as she stared at the camera intensely. I felt Audrey shift beside me.

"Apparently last night, Gone Girl and Static were found with Keegan and Jacob Foster, both pronounced dead," The lady took a pause, as if letting it sink in that I had supposedly killed someone, even though I didn't. "The two Supers were arrested last night, only to have been found nowhere this morning."

I bit my lip. I felt so many mixed emotions at the moment. I was angry at Slick for setting us up. I was upset that everyone, including my best friend and brother, had believed I turned over. I was confused, because I had absolutely no clue what to do next. I was scared, because I didn't know what was next for Gone Girl.

Before the news anchor could continue, my brother clicked the TV off, leaving us all staring at the black screen.

"Bullshit," Audrey muttered, and I gave a silent agreement.

***

I tried to focus on the sound of my footsteps, but It became rather difficult from the loud shouts and honks coming from drivers and pedestrians.

It was rush hour, and I was currently trying to return home from the hospital. I spent the afternoon volunteering at the hospital, helping treat injured patients. They didn't have as many people they would have preferred, but the good thing was that people were getting help. There hadn't been any more deaths, but I needed to try and help as many people as I could. I already let everyone down, I can't do it again.

I tugged at my sweater, as if it would protect me from everyone's stares. I didn't want to walk in public, because although I wasn't wearing my mask, I still felt like I was a constant target. Suit or no suit.

I wanted to turn invisible, believe me. I wanted to disappear from sight and walk home in peace. But a rule Drew, Audrey and I had all agreed on is that you never use your powers unless it's an emergency. You never know who's watching or what could happen, so it's always best to keep your abilities tucked away where no one can see them.

I jumped at the touch of a hand on my shoulder, and spun on my heels, ready to attack, when I noticed it was just my ex-boyfriend.

"Sky," Gray said, and eyed me hesitantly like he had something he wanted to say.

"I didn't turn over," I narrowed my eyes at him, "I'm not bad."

He nodded, almost like there was a weight removed off his chest.

"Is there anything else you need?" I asked him and raised and eyebrow. I wasn't in the mood to deal with him.

He looked away and scratched the back of his neck. "I was just checking up on you, but if you'd want to go get some ice cream or something...?" He trailed off, but his eyes seemed pleading.

I took a breath, already prepared to decline his offer, but I honestly did need a treat, and It wouldn't hurt to try and be civil with my ex.

"I mean," My eyes searched the other pedestrians, as if looking for an excuse, "I suppose that would be alright."

I bit back a smile when I watched his eyes light up. "Really? Oh, alright."

It seemed like he was so accustomed to holding my hand, because his first instinct was reaching out to grab it, but he seemed to realize what he was doing since his arm froze and he pulled his hand back into a fist before blushing red and pulling his arm back to his side.

We ended up going to the mall because we passed by it on the way home, so Grayson had suggested we go to Dairy Queen. I tried to keep a slight distance from Gray in case we saw someone that we knew, and I didn't want anyone to think we had gotten back together or anything, because we were just getting ice cream as mere acquaintances.

We reached the counter, with no line to keep us waiting, and Grayson automatically ordered for the both of us, not even hesitating to give tell the cashier what I wanted despite the fact that I never even told him. He just knew me that well.

Grayson paid for the both of us (much to my objection,) and out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of the familiar pair of glasses and so I turned to face him.

Dakota seemed to be leaving since he was stepping out from behind the counter with a bag resting on his shoulders. I decided that I should take this opportunity to be a good friend and ask for his number so I could give it to Audrey.

I was about to approach him when I saw another guy beat me to it. I was going to give them a moment to speak with each other before I spoke up, but I was but I froze when I saw the two them kiss.

I shifted from foot to foot because I didn't know if I should have looked away from them even though it was just a quick peck, but at the same time I wanted to ask Dakota if he was interested in girls too...

I saw the cashier handing Gray our ice cream, so I quickly made the bold decision to approach Dakota just as his partner gave him his bag and strode over in the direction of the washrooms.

I hesitantly tapped Dakota's shoulder, causing him to turn around to face me.

"Hi," I waved my hand in greeting, then pointed in the direction of the washrooms. "Is that your boyfriend?" I asked, trying my hardest not to come off as rude.

Dakota nodded with a smile, "Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

I tilted my head and gave him a sheepish grin. "You don't happen to be bisexual by any chance, are you?" I wasn't quite sure how to phrase that. I'm not even sure if I should be asking that.

"You're Audrey's friend, aren't you?" He queried and I nodded, still smiling. He laughed but shook his head no. "Sorry, no. Just gay."

I pursed my lips but made sure to keep my smile, even if it was a guilty one. "Oh, sorry for bothering you. It's just that I thought Audrey..." I trailed off because I didn't really know how to explain it.

His eyes widened. "Me and Audrey? Together?" He let out a laugh, "Yeah, I'm sorry but that's never going to happen. We're just friends."

My heart yearned for my best friend, but I couldn't help but laugh with him.

"Thank you anyway," I told him and waved him goodbye before walking over to Grayson, who stood a few feet away.

"Who was that?' He asked me as he handed me my vanilla ice cream. When I was younger my dad claimed that was why he hated DQ - they were too cheap to sell anything else, so all they did was by vanilla ice cream and make it fancy.

I shrugged. "Just a guy. I had to ask him something but it's all cleared up now."

Grayson looked as if he wanted to say more, but simply nodded and offered to walk me home, an offer which I accepted.

But the whole walk I couldn't help but wonder, was it just my imagination or was everything very suspicious? I mean, first I meet a new Super who happened to not be the Villain, and then I found out that my boyfriend cheated on me. But now he's acting nice again, and is trying to make amends? I mean, I get that this could all be normal behavior, (except for the supernatural powers) but part of me wondered, was this staged? Am I being lied to? And there's a small part of me that hopes and wonders, did Grayson really cheat?

But then again, Audrey will be suffering from a different type of heartbreak - not a very painful one, but one that consists of finding out the guy you were into is gay.

I said my goodbyes to Grayson and thanked him for the ice cream before marching up the stairs of my apartment building. In my mind I kept phrasing ways to give Audrey the news.

Dakota's gay.

Too straightforward? Haha, see wait I did there? With the straight- no? Okay.

At least you weren't cheated on.

That sounded so bad. It was almost like I was teasing her over the fact that they never got together. Actually, they may have never gotten together because he's gay but I mean, what do I know? Nothing, really.

Before I knew it, I was at the foot of my door. I entered our flat to see Audrey sprawled across the couch as she watched the TV intently, and I noticed that our last bag of chips had found its way onto the coffee table.

"Hey..." I slowly shut the door and put my bag down as my friend raised her hand in acknowledgment.

"You're staying for the night?" I asked her and took the spot beside her. As I have mentioned before, she isn't the most comfortable at home while her parents are there. She doesn't have a very good relationship with them, since they're always on business trips.

She nodded, her eyes still trained on the TV. I shifted in my seat, not quite sure how to bring up the topic of Dakota.

"So," I started, "I saw Dakota today."

She turned her attention back to me for a moment. "Dakota? That's cool."

She resumed watching the TV, and so I pursed my lips because I didn't really know how to continue.

"Uh, I don't want you o be upset or anything but..." I trailed off, and she gave me a weird look.

"But what?" She asked me and shoved a handful of chips in her mouth.

"He's, uh," I waited for her to catch on, even though there was no way for her to know what I was thinking.

"He's what?" She grabbed the water from table and took a sip to wash down the chips.

"He, uh," I stuttered and quickly searched my mind for a response. "He likes it up his ass?"

The water she carried in her mouth just moments ago was now all over my face, due to her spitting it all over me as she choked. But her choking turned to laughing as she held her sides to contain her laughter.

"You said that on purpose," Audrey coughed, "You knew that would crack me up."

I grinned and shrugged innocently in defense. "Those were the words that came to mind."

She shook her head at me, still smiling. "You're evil. It doesn't matter anyway, I already knew he was gay."

My expression dropped, and I gave her a look. "You did? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you say you didn't want to sound desperate and shit?"

"Because it was easier if I said that," She explained. "I know him, though, and I was just trying to ask him something because I had a slight issue..." She trailed off, but I had no idea what she was talking about.

"I thought we made It clear that Dakota was my friend first." We both turned to see Drew walk in from the kitchen, a can of Coke in his hand.

Audrey shook her head at him as he sat down beside Audrey. "But I'm pretty sure we've resolved that problem of ours last night." Drew smirked as he placed an arm around my friend, but his words left both of us with a horrified expression.

"Andrew!" She yelled and roughly elbowed my brother in the chest, causing him to yelp in pain and remove his arm from around her. "Do you know how wrong that sounds?"

He rubbed his chest an grimaced. "I didn't realize everything I said turned into a sexual innuendo."

She scowled at him and crossed her arms. "You could have just explained to my best friend that all we did was talk!" My friend turned back to me with a guilty expression as Drew muttered profanities from beside her. "He meant that we talked about our problems. We didn't have any make up sex or whatever shit you're thinking about." She reassured me.

"What we agreed on does involve with sex, though. Doesn't it?" Drew asked, and received another blow to his stomach.

"Shut up!" She scolded him.

"Wait, hold on," I put my hands up. "I'm so lost. What problem? What solution?" I eyed the two of them curiously. "What are you not telling me?"

"We're dating," Drew answered, but that just earned him five more hits from Audrey.

"You imbecile!" She cried as she whacked my brother upside the head.

"This is why I needed Dakota!" She yelled at both of us. "So I knew how to handle things with this nincompoop!"

Audrey crossed her arms and continued to glare at the wall. It looked like she was mad at the both of us, although I have no idea what I did. Drew and I shared a look, and we both knew one of us had to apologize.

"I'm sorry," Drew cooed and wrapped his arms around her and buried his head in the crook of her neck. Despite his apologetic tone, I could see his visible smirk, and I knew he was finding this hilarious. I also knew my friend was enjoying his apology as I watched the corners of her lips tug, but she would never give him that kind of satisfaction.

"Wait, so you're actually dating?" My expression faltered again. I thought they were joking, but with all this cuddly stuff I sort of thought otherwise.

Neither of them answered me. It was almost like they were pretending I was no longer there. I took that silence as an awkward yes.

"Can we have some make up sex now?" Drew lifted his head and I could see his full grin, and I wanted to scold him for trying to rile her up. An angry Audrey is a scary Audrey.

Her soft eyes flared once more, and she elbowed him again, which caused him to let her go.

"Your sister is right beside us!" She yelled at him. "You can't say things like that!"

"But I can put my words into action, right?" He nudged her and she elbowed him again. I didn't stop him because not only was this his funeral, but it was pretty funny.

Drew gave me a look, and the way he was sending me a devious grin told me that he wasn't finished with her.

"What about some kinky shit?" He laughed, "You can make things float, I can light fire with my hands. We can work with that."

This time I laughed with him, and Audrey roared in fury. She stood up abruptly and stormed out of the room.

"You're horrible," I laughed at him and he rubbed his sides, but couldn't help the smile on his face.

"She wants me, trust me," He said. "She'll forgive me, especially after tonight."

I cringed and plugged me ears. Yeah, that was definitely enough for one day.

alright so I made this chapter slightly longer (I hope you noticed lol) because I'm going on a cruise this week and I have no idea if I'll be able to write, so I apologize if the next update is late :(

I'm really trying my hardest to write, right now but I've been pretty preoccupied with school and the fact that I've made literally no friends. omg that probably sounds so sad I apologize for the second hand embarrassment (something sadder to hear is that I eat my lunch in my mom's office because I'm so lonely lol)

so yeah, I'm coping. I've also been binge watching teen wolf. omg it's way too good and am I the only one who has noticed that Crystal Reed looks like Lily Collins? Or is it the other way around?

with love
