So there was no riot that killed all those people(like Virgil's mom), but the Big Bang did happened at that time. So you just have to read how Static and Gear get their powers! Enjoy! Also Richie and Virgil are 11/
Virgil's POV
I get everything I need together and smile as I sling my bag over my shoulder.
"Mom! I'm heading out now," I tell her.
"Ok Virgil! Where will you and Richie be this time," my mom ask me as I walk into the kitchen.
"Our super secret base at the docks!"
"Alright. Just make sure you both are back here for your sleepover before 10," she tells me.
"We will! I gotta go! Tell pops and Sharon where we are," I tell her as I head were Richie and I meet.
I walk and smile as I look around. I soon get to the meeting place and I wait for Richie to show up.
"Hey V," I hear a voice say as I turn to see Richie running towards me. "Sorry I'm late, my mom wanted to make sure I have everything."
"That's alright. We already dropped off your things to sleep over this morning. So you brought the comic books," I ask as we head towards the docks.
"Yeah! You will love the ones I grabbed for us," Richie says as he smiles.
"Alright I can't wait!"
We reach the docks and the time is around 7:30. We already ate dinner and we walk towards where we usually hang out. We made it ourselves and we are the only two who can get into it. We also use the old gas station as another hangout place. It ran out of business two years ago and no one ever goes there.
"So what comics did you bring this time," Richie ask me as we reach our hidden base.
"You will see," I say.
I crouch down and crawl into our base. There isn't a lot of things here. Just some old chairs, a box as a table and an old stereo that only have three stations. Richie sits down on a chair as I turn the radio on. Some rap music starts to play and I sit in the other chair and we start to unpack the comics.
"Dude! You never told me you have that comic," I say as I spy the comic.
It's about a kid who is a super hero and her daily struggle with school and fighting evil people.
"Yeah I just got it. Haven't read it myself," Richie says.
"Wow awesome! Can I read it after you," I ask him.
"Of course. So what are we going to do first?"
"Well we should each read the first volume of two different comics that we both knows what happens and talk about which one we think is better," I say.
"Great idea! Ok so I was thinking..."
We sit and chat about comics and then our family. We chat about what we are going to do once we get to my place.
"What time is it," I ask Richie.
"It is...9:45. We should be leaving now," Richie explains.
"Yeah Alright. I'll use the Shock Box and tell my mom that we are leaving now," I say as I grab it.
The Shock Box is sorta like a walkie talkie that Richie and I came up with a couple of months ago(more like 3). We each have our own and so does our parents(a pair for each) so that we can be able to talking(since we don't have phone). I grab mine and I'm about to call her when we hear a noise from outside.
"What was that," Richie says.
"I don't know. How about we go see," I tell him.
"Yeah. Then we are going to leave," Richie tells me.
I nod my head in agreement and we crawl out of our secret hideout. We gasp as we see people fighting.
"Oh no! I think it's a gang war," I tell Richie.
"Back inside! Back inside," Richie says and we scurry back into our hideout.
We hold each other as we head the fighting continue. We cry out in alarm as we hear gunshots ring out.
"Dude call your mom! She can then get he police," Richie reminds me.
"Oh yeah," I say as I grab my Shock Box and contact my mom.
"Virgil?! What's going on?! What is that noise in the background," my mother ask me.
"There is a gang war happening here! We were about to leave and then they started fighting," I say.
"Are you guys ok?"
"Yeah. We are on our secret hideout. No one have seen us yet," Richie says.
"Ok listen up. Stay there. Police got a call and are heading there now. I'll find you guys after everyone is gone," my mom explains.
"Alright see you in a bit. We will be fine," I tell her as we finish the call.
"Dude, are we going to be Alright," Richie ask me.
"Yeah. We will be fine. They won't find us. The fighting is away from us," I say, trying to convince both of us that we will be fine.
Jean's POV
I silently pray that they boys are going to be alright. They sounded calm, though I'm pretty sure they are freaking out inside and just wanted me to not worry too much.
"Don't worry Jean we will make it," one of my co-workers tell me.
"I know. I'm just worried about Virgil and Richie."
"Everyone is, you know how we love those boys when they come over to see us," Shelly says as I smile and look at her.
"Yeah. They said they are safe and I believe they are," I say.
We soon reach the docks. The smoke has gone down and it's all gone now. We can see people being rushed to the hospital or being taken away in police cars. I get out and grab my bag.
"What happened here," I ask someone, who have a gas mask on top of their head.
"There was a chemical that was being stored here. The tear gas and that gas mixed and we are not sure what exactly happened," the police officer explains.
I gasp and run into the docks area to find Virgil and Richie. I hear other officers shouting orders as we search for the two kids.
"VIRGIL!! RICHIE," I call out as I look around. "Come on. Where is their hideout," I mutter as I look around.
"Do you know where their hideout is," someone ask me.
"No. But I know it's small enough so only they can get into," I explain. "They also told be they made a metal dome over the main area. That's all that I know of it."
"Alright. Let's go find a metal dome!"
It seams like we have been searching for them for hours, but it have only been 30 minutes. I grow more worry by the second as I look all over for them.
"M-mom," I hear a voice says and then I mentally slap myself for forgetting the Shock Box.
"Virgil? Are you guys alright," I ask him as I hold the Shock Box.
"Yeah. All the noise is gone. Are you guys here?"
"Yes. We are here. Why don't you guys come out?"
"We can't. The entrance is blocked," Richie says.
"Alright. Then where is your hideout then?"
"It's near the water. Dock 4 I believe," Virgil says.
"Ok. I'm near there. Hang tight," I say as I tell the others where they are near.
We all head towards Dock 4 and continue our search.
"OVER HERE! I FOUND THEM," someone calls and I run over to see them shining a flashlight in a whole.
I bend down and look in to see Virgil and Richie there.
"Mom," Virgil says as he smiles.
"Alright guys. Come to us. Let's get out of there," I say.
We back up and give them some space as Richie gets out of the tunnel first, followed my Virgil. We make sure they are alright. We then leave the docks and I take them back to my place. Richie and Virgil falls asleep on the ride home and I smile, knowing that they are safe. I park the car and get out as Robert comes over.
"Jean. I heard what happened. Are you and the kids alright," he ask me.
"Yeah. They are fine. They were away from the fighting so no one saw them. Let's get them inside," I tell him.
I grab Richie and Robert grabs Virgil. We head inside and we place them where they will be sleeping. I then head to my room with Robert.
"You think they will be ok," he ask me. "From what I heard about the gas, the others had bad reactions."
"They seam all fine. If I wasn't a paramedic, they would have taken them to the hospital to make sure they are alright," I tell him.
"Alright. Let's get some sleep."
I nod my head in agreement and I drift off to a peaceful sleep.
