Bittersweet Confessions, Part One: Shown in their Eyes
"Phew, that was close..." a teenager sighed in relief as he ripped his mask off. It was a tiring job, being a superhero, but it paid off he supposed.
Leon was tired, though. Every night for the past few days had been tiring for him. Fighting crime was filled with adrenaline-raising activities and dangerous situations, and his exhaustion was slapping on his face.
He yawned. He had to head home first, though. Nothing better than good old oversleeping to help him with the sleepless episodes he had been experiencing. He was a teen after all. It would be weird if he didn't.
He was about to keep his mask when he heard a scream echo through the alley.
Instincts kicking in, without thinking straight, he spun and headed there.
When he landed on the ground where the sound seemed to have originated from, he found himself face to face with a terrified civilian meeting his gaze in shock, "I-it's..."
The villain swiveled over, curious, and Leon's breathing stopped.
He recognized her. How wouldn't he? How couldn't he recognize his friend?
His stomach constricted itself, and he felt sick. He earnestly wished it was a dream, that it was just a copycat.
But it wasn't. Sadly, his thoughts were cut off when the person spoke, "L-Leon?" Surprise laced her tone.
For the first time in his life, Leon Carter was stunned.
It really was her. It was his best friend, Keemia Marko.
Keemia herself was shocked. Seeing her best friend/crush wearing Camo Spider's outfit, holding the mask tight... It could only mean one thing.
Leon Carter... was Camo Spider.
Her best friend... was the enemy.
She stumbled and fell to the ground. Why? Why was fate so cruel to her? Her crush was the enemy. Was this fate's funny trick on her? First it was being turning into this abomination, then it was her only friend turning out to be a superhero.
Why did it enjoy torturing her so much?
Leon's eyes were wide. Was this a joke? Or a dream?
Oh he wished hard that it was, but after hearing her voice, he knew it was her. Her body language spoke of the personality only Keemia could pull off.
She was Sandgirl....
She was the enemy.
