He held my hand, and give me a peck on my lips.
"You might be horrified to learn this, but I was part of World War 1. I took down about 100 solders myself. Seperate occasions, " He confessed.
"I'm never gonna reach that number," I joked.
He smiled at me again.
"You haven't been wearing a shirt or pants for this entire conversation," He pointed out. I smirked at him.
"You know, I still have that lube~" I said, pinning him down on one of the sleeping bags. His face went bright red. I locked lips with him, and straddled his hips. He let out a muffled moan, and my plan was in place. I ended the kiss, jumped off of him, and got into my sleeping bag.
"Good night, James~" I said, smirking.
"Don't just leave me with a tent in my pants," He pleaded.
"I have a policy in place called 'One date before-"
"Why would you do this to me!" He cried, dramatically interrupting me.
"Go to bed."
He frowned, sat down, and thought for a moment.
"You talked about that kid who was like a brother to you, right? If you help me with my issue, I'll help you find him," James offered. That got my attention real quick. I smirked at him again.
"How could I resist such a sweet deal~"
I dragged James out of the tent. I fulfilled my part if the deal, and now it was his turn. I figured that we should bring Crystal with us, so that if Cole wasn't in any danger, I could still talk to him without being noticed(if or got about James's time stopping ability). When we arrived at the orphanage there was police tape everywhere. I ran inside, and there he was, in a pool of blood. He was lying on his stomach, bloody, jagged letters engraved into his back. I warned you.
I ran out of the building. I couldn't stomach what I saw in that room. Sure, I had killed many people, and I spilled so much blood, but seeing his blood on the floor was the worst thing I could ever see. I hadn't seen Cole in months, and now he's dead. He was dead, and it's my fault. I walked back to James and Crystal.
"Is he... okay?" James asked.
I shook my head solemnly. He wrapped his arms around me, and I couldn't hold in my tears anymore. I was filled with grief, but I was also filled with anger. I was going to do whatever I could to find his killer, and make sure that person never saw the light of day again. I would torture them until they regretted what they had done to my little brother.

I want to help everyone, but I'm just a burden. It would be better if I just left. Who was I really helping, them, or me? I don't want to lie to them anymore, but I don't want to tell everyone either. Raven already knows, because she's known me for basically my entire life. I don't want them to judge me, and I don't want them to hate me for this. Is it worth hiding it? They're all going to find out soon enough, why not say something now. My mind was battling itself,and all possible scenarios were running through my mind. I let out a sigh. I should. I'm going to tell them today.
I left my tent. I decided that I should tell everyone as a group. It would be easier. I waited until everyone was gathered for dinner for my big announcement.
"So, I have an announcement to make. I've been hiding something from the group. It's not life and death or anything, but I think it's importa-"
"I KNEW IT" Maddie intterupted. I glared at her.
"Really? Right now? Let him talk, for God's sake, Maddie," Raven scolded. Maddie didn't say anything throughout the rest of my announcement.
"As I was trying to say, this is something I've been wanting to tell you guys for a while, I just didn't think it was relevant before, and technically it's not relevant now, but I still think you guys deserve to know. Wait, not deserve, more like should-"
"You're rambling, Ayro," Raven said, "Just tell them, it's not like they'll be assholes about it."
I smiled at her, internally thanking her for the motivation.
"I'm trans. I've already transitioned and everything, but I thought that it was a good idea to tell you guys before anyone else did."
