A/N: Wow! Thanks so much for the reviews! You guys are the best! And as promised, I give this entire chapter to Nigel's story now. And finally, this is where our story finally revolves. Yay~!
Happy Reading~!
Nigel couldn't seem to wipe the grin off his face for what would look like the whole day as he stared at his team as they sat at the cafeteria. It has been 3 years after all and yes, he was relishing the moments they had and they were having now but his happiness was more than that. He missed them. It was especially hard for the first few months when he was with the Galactic Kids Next Door whenever he would shout his old saying of, "Kids Next Door--Battle Stations!" and then look around to find that there was no Wally who would courageously charge head on; uncaring about the numbers of enemies they would face as long as he could deliver a brutal punch to the face of that current bastard who would think of hurting his friends, no Hoagie who would use his 2 x 4 technology that would easily blast away the mastermind's minions or would invent some kind of shield to protect them, no Kuki whose eyes would blaze in anger upon seeing her friends beaten and all would cower in fear at her temper and lastly, no Abigail who would be the most collected person in the room despite the situation being in a life or death situation.
And no team meant that he was all alone, on his own so all those years of being away were years that he was more frequent in the infirmary than he could even imagine but at least he was alive and anyway, those injuries he suffered were just slight inconveniences and every time he went out into the field, he got better and better. Not that he could really complain, for as soon as he stepped onto the GKND's base, he stubbornly refused any offers of being given the best agents they had that he could work with and his stubbornness continued to when he turned thirteen and was placed in Galactic Teens Next Door or GTND for short. Through the Galactic Kids Next Door did he only realize that the world really was a dangerous place. The missions that they were given was a far cry from battling some joke like The Toilenator or Count Spankula. They were stopping countless plans from all over the galaxy on taking over the earth, intercepting a new lethal drug from spreading, destroying any blue prints on how to create a gigantic black hole in an instant and the list seemed endless that it was no wonder they needed every help they could get.
Looking back, a whole week would feel like a day to him. He could never really rest or take a break because every moment felt like his presence was needed for this or for that and he drank as much coffee his bladder could , the only good things he felt he owed to the GKND was that they found a cure to have his hair grow back. He thanks the heavens constantly that he didn't piss the shit out of his pants whenever some form of gun or other sharp object would be mercilessly shoved near his face or any other part of his body. He felt a lot of gratitude for getting his father's quick thinking and analysis as well as his determination as well as belief that someday, he would see his team again once this was all over. For him, his team was irreplaceable and he gave every hope; strength he had in his fiber devoted to them.
When he got back, he didn't even feel a single fear or doubt when he tiredly but confidently half walked and sprinted towards the tree house that was still proudly up to the high heavens in the middle of his house. He knew his team would be there and nothing would have changed.
But, he thought, things have changed.
And his grin turned into a smirk. Wally, all 6 foot, muscular and tousle haired blond jock had his arms at the back of Kuki's seat. They were a couple now. And from what Nigel could hear, they were considered the Ken and Barbie of the school. Of course, Wally was way more masculine than Ken could ever be but that wasn't the point. It was a casual stance but he knew that Wally's arms wouldn't hesitate to wrap around the raven headed beauty if his deep green eyes saw a predator near. Predator meaning other guys, of course, since Kuki Sanban has definitely grown out of being the "cute" one. Cute was now an understatement when describing the Japanese teen with her long black hair ending in perky curls at the ends that was pony tailed and almond shaped, chocolate colored eyes that were revealed by her side swept bangs, her cheerleader uniform was just another accessory to compliment her…assets.
Now that he thought about it, he never did find out how Wally had ever succeeded in finally having his long-time crush. Glancing away, he opened his mouth to cheekily ask Abigail or Hoagie about it but instantly closed his mouth again. It seemed as if that certain couple was busy themselves as Hoagie's fingers almost lazily and absently twirled Abigail's darker, wavy and longer locks that were sprawled around the girl's back down to her waist. Kind of like that singer, Beyonce, only Abigail was definitely much better and that was saying a lot. Hoagie meanwhile has lost all the baby fat he had and was, well; lanky, due to probably spending a lot more attention to electronics than doing physical activities but he looked good and was the type where girls, like Bree, would surprisingly go for in their surprise.
" I love you, guys"
And all four of his team mates head snapped at him instantly at that sudden outburst.
" Dude", Wally chuckled, shaking his head in amusement while Kuki cooed in affection at Nigel.
" I'm serious, I'm so proud of you guys" ,Nigel insisted, his grin back in place and reached from ear to ear.
"Stop that", Hoagie plastered on a fake horrified look then, " You look like you're the Joker or something" he laughed sheepishly while adjusting his ever present and now vintage goggles on his head. Despite having no fear of riding in the air on a contraption that was made out of knacks when they were young, Hoagie was terrified of clowns and his phobia escalated when he watched the latest Batman movie. He couldn't find how Joker found it funny when he was out killing people.
Nigel's smile only widened more if that was possible, if only to annoy him further, "You complete me" he said simply and laughed at Hoagie's pale face.
" Shut up, man. You're so gay" Wally rolled his eyes as Kuki giggled beside him.
" I was trying to be sentimental"
" Yeah? Well if sentimental's you're gonna go looking for, its sentimental you're gonna get" Abby grinned as she eyed a figure past the british boy.
Nigel frowned and turned to look behind him only to come face to face with two peaches in front of his face. It took him a few seconds then to realize that what he was staring at was a girl's chest. He dared to look up then and his navy blue eyes met lavender.
'Oh' and 'Shit' quickly ran through his mind as the owner of the said eyes—one that he had seen constantly back then—quickly hardened in anger and some other emotion he found he forgot.
A/N: Don't you just love cliff hangers? X3

LOL.
BTW~! I THINK I know who would be the perfect Nigel for my story! And that's Logan Lerman( Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief)! WHOO~
I'm telling you guys! That boy is so damn HAWT. Rofl. He and Zac E. are like, two of my fave actors so there, I admit it! Oh, I also like Sterling Knight!_
OH!Or Matt Lanter(You'll know him from 90210 as Liam)! He's hawt too~! –fangirl squeal-
SIGH. IDK but I've always pictured Nigel here as someone who gives the air of mystery and aura of "he's been there, seen and done that" and I just feel like Logan and Matt would be good but that's just me.
