A/N: This is my first Static Shock fanfic! Man I love that show. Anyway, this is my own version of "Brother-Sister Act". For those of you who don't know that's the episode where Sharon thinks Virgil is Static, but he gets Mirage to help him change her mind. Disclaimer: I don't own Static Shock, cause if I did…woo hoo.
Sharon was at the diner with her friends, watching Static on TV.
She had just realized how much Static and her brother were alike.
It can't be him, can it? she thought. "I-I gotta go," she told her friends.
Sharon grabbed her purse and left the diner heading for home. "I can ask him there," she said to herself.
When she got home no one was there. "Virgil?" she called. "Dad?" She went upstairs to Virgil's room and began to look around. She didn't find anything unusual until she heard a crackling noise. "Static, you there?"
Hmm…that sounds incriminating, she thought. She traced the sound as coming from under Virgil's bed. It was a walkie-talkie type thing, and Richie's voice was coming out of it. "Static! Are you there, bro?"
"Richie, is that you?" Sharon said into the walkie-talkie.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I thought this was Joe's Pizza-" Richie said, making his voice sound deeper. Sharon heard a clicking noise, then nothing. "Yeah, I'm sure," she muttered.
Sharon stood in the middle of Virgil's room, wondering what the next step should be.
Deciding that she would ask him some questions when he came home, Sharon went downstairs and sat on the couch.
"Well, I guess I could watch TV while I'm waiting," she said aloud, turning the news on.
To her surprise it was live footage of Static fighting Ebon. "Perfect. This is my chance to compare them."
Static was losing the fight. He was already drained from his earlier fight with Mirage and her brother, so Ebon had the upper hand from the beginning. "I'm gonna squash you like a lightenin' bug," Ebon said, lunging forward and extending his hand out.
Sharon was watching Static fight Ebon, and at the moment she was hoping it wasn't her brother. Static wasn't doing so good. "Well, I'm gonna squash you like a…like a…I'm gonna squash you!" Static said.
"Oh, that was smooth," Sharon muttered.
Static threw a ball of electricity at Ebon, but it had little effect. "What's different?" Static said. Ebon laughed as he hit Static with amazing force. "Let's just say I've had a little upgrade."
Static didn't get back up, and Ebon grabbed the bags of money he came after and left in one of his vortexes.
Sharon got to the bank as fast as they could. None of the medics could get near Static because every time someone tried to touch him he emitted small electrical bursts.
"What's going on?" Sharon asked one of the medics.
"We think he's afraid we'll take his mask off," the lady said.
"Can I try to talk to him?" Sharon asked.
The lady shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not." She motioned to the police. "Let this young lady through."
Sharon smiled a thanks at the woman then ducked underneath the police tape.
She approached Static. "Static," she said. "You've got to let the nice people help you."
Static moaned and tried to zap her away from him, but his powers were almost gone because of him being so drained.
"No…"
"Come on! Don't be such a baby! What are you afraid of, anyway?" Sharon said, putting her hands on her hips. She felt like she was talking to her brother and Sharon suspected that she was.
Virgil was terrified. Sharon was standing over him demanding that he let the paramedics take him to the hospital, where they would no doubt want to take his mask of. He could not allow that to happen. Virgil summoned up all the power and strength he had left and got on his disc. "I'm fine, everyone. And next time I'll get Ebon." With that he flew away.
Sharon cursed herself for not having brought the car. If Static really was Virgil, she could have followed him home. But since she was walking, he would beat her no doubt.
Fifteen minutes later she burst through the front door of their house.
"Virgil! Virgil, are you home?" she shouted while going up the stairs.
"Yeah," came the reply. Sharon walked to Virgil's room and knocked on the door. "Can I come in?" she asked.
"Be my guest."
Sharon opened the door to find Virgil in his bed reading a comic book. "Where were you?" she demanded.
"I was with Richie," he replied. "Where were you?"
"I was at the bank," Sharon said, suddenly feeling silly about her whole 'my brother is Static' thing. I'm sure lots of other kids have thought that their brother was Static, she told herself.
She turned to leave when Virgil called her back. "Sharon, wait."
"Yeah?"
"Never mind."
Sharon left his room but didn't close the door all the way behind her. She felt bad about spying, but she had to know. Sharon peeked through the crack in the door.
When Virgil thought his sister was gone he got out of bed. He walked over to his mirror and lifted his shirt up. There was a big bruise on his stomach from where Ebon hit him.
"Man, I'm gonna be feelin' that tomorrow," he said.
Sharon narrowed her eyes.
She heard a crackling noise come from where she had left the walkie-talkie thing.
"Virg? You there?"
It was Richie. Sharon watched as Virgil walked over to his bed and pulled the Shock Vox out from in the covers. "Yeah, I'm here," he said.
"I just saw the news, bro. You okay?"
"I'm a little bruised, and there's not much to say about my ego, but all in all I'm okay."
She heard Richie breathe a sigh of relief. "You had me worried there for a second, Virg."
"Yeah," Virgil said, rubbing the back of his head. "What's worse is Sharon was there."
"Dude, seriously? That was her?" Richie said.
"Yeah, I thought she was gonna find out for sure." Virgil plopped back down on his bed.
"I probably wouldn't have a problem telling her or my pops if he didn't not like Bang Babies."
After Virgil said this Sharon felt immediate guilt. He's right. We've given him no reason to tell us, she thought. Sharon felt that she had invaded Virgil's privacy enough, so she stopped eavesdropping.
So my brother is Static Shock. I'm just glad he didn't turn out like all the other Bang Babies. It makes me kind of proud…
Sharon decided she'd causally bring it up in the morning. "I didn't realize I was this tired," she said while yawning.
In the morning, Sharon got dressed and ready in record time. She was downstairs making a special breakfast when Virgil came down.
"Good morning, little brother!" she said happily, setting a plate of bacon, eggs, and pancakes in front of him.
He eyed her suspiciously. "Okay, what do you want?" he asked.
Sharon pretended to be hurt. "Why, Virgil, what's wrong with a sister wanting to be nice to her wonderful brother?"
Virgil sighed. "Sharon-" he began.
She held up a hand. "Fine. Let's just say that I found something out about my little brother, and I want to be nice to him."
Virgil raised an eyebrow. "You…found something out? And you're not using it as blackmail?"
Sharon shrugged. "I haven't needed to yet."
Virgil shrugged and began to eat his breakfast.
The two of them were eating in silence when Virgil noticed something. "Hey, where's Pops?"
Sharon frowned. "I just thought he went to work early," she said.
"Did you ever hear him come home last night?" Virgil asked.
"Actually, no…"
"Uh, I'm gonna be late for school!" Virgil said, standing up so fast he almost knocked his chair over.
"Virgil, what's the hurry?" Sharon said, only playing along for now.
"Uh…me and Richie have to work on a project!" As soon as he said it Virgil thought, that's a lame excuse.
Sharon raised an eyebrow. That's a lame excuse.
Virgil was almost out the door, backpack in hand, when Sharon said, "Just don't get hurt saving him."
Virgil stopped in his tracks. "Wha…what do you mean?" he asked, flabbergasted.
Sharon smiled. "About that secret I found out…"
