"Heyy! What the fuck was that?!"
"Jesus fucking christ, my ankle AHHHHHHHH!"
"Ah man. Was that the cops? My dad's gonna kill us."
"Shut up about your dad, you ignoramus. I doubt that was the police."
That's right. Keep talking. They crouched down and started scanning the area where they thought the projectile came from. I was fast enough and smart enough to move from one car to another one. This time I stood crouched behind a car and flicked a rock at the one who's worried about his parents. It hit him in the shoulder and dislocated it, causing him to drop the bat and holler out in pain.
By this point Mr. Anderson had run back into his house with his gun and locked the door behind him. The last one, the leader, held his bat out towards my direction. Crap, he spotted me.
"I dont know who the fuck you are or what kind of BB gun you've got but I bet you won't try that shit again." He boldly declared, as he stood at the ready. I went and hid behind another car but it was already too late, he was chasing after me. This was bad. I can't let him see me, identify me. That's the last thing my dad needs and even with this mask on it's not going to be impossible to tell who i am.
So I panicked. I waited until he got close and bumped the car with my hip,causing it to push into him abruptly and with more than enough force to throw him into one of the walls of Mr.andersons building cracking it. There was now a human-shaped hole in the wall.
Oh god. Did I kill h-
"Owwwww…" he softly groaned just as the flashing blue lights of the police started to come into view. Good, he's alive and I need to beat feet.
I walked back to the gym, the fire department was there to look for anyone who didn't make it out of the building but the fire was completely out. Good job Bee. There were several tied up and slightly cut up groaning bodies, the looters from Best Buy. Spot on Aria.
I smiled to myself as I walked into the gym and noticed the boys were finally awake but they were being tended to by someone, another man. Aria and Bee were to the side of the boys, they looked highly confused at the person in front of them and slightly nervous.
"Anyone wanna tell me what the hell is going on?" the man asked.
"We-well the power went out you see and-" Bee tried to start.
"I dont give a damn about an outage, I want to know about my door?! What kind of craziness did you kids get into while I was at the store?" He cracked his knuckles one by one using one hand only.
"Elias, maybe take a look in the mirror before you start yelling at us, yeah? I think you have bigger problems to worry about." Adrien commented just as the power came back on. As the lights shined down on Elias I gasped, he was the most handsome man I'd ever laid eyes on.
Trust me, I know it sounds exaggerated but my heart and my gut were both fluttering at just the sight of him. Although he was wearing old fashioned men's clothing that was a little too tight on him and he towered over everyone. The man must have been taller than my father. He was sinewy and lanky with medium length blond hair and tan skin, a few strands of silver highlighting the sharpness of his blue eyes.
Elias turned towards me and raised an eyebrow. "I'm not taking any new students right now, and what the hell do you mean I've got bigger issues than a broken door and busted windows? Do you kids know how much this is gonna cost me?"
He didn't seem older than any of us here. Was he really the owner of the gym?
I coughed into my hand to get his attention and made my way over to where everyone was. "So…I'm Nia. Hi."
"Nia…ok. I'm Elias. These are my students-"
"I know, we've met already. They're pretty cool people." I smiled brightly at him, a blush creeping up my cheeks.
Elias sighed and folded his arms, shaking his head at me."Fine. Give me five minutes. I need to use the toilet." He headed that way and everyone turned to look at me as he left from view.
"Alright. Anyone want to explain to me what happened after Nia had her episode?" Nue stated, staring at me intensely and with some slight fear.
"I-"
"Oh hold on. Lets talk after Elias sees what he looks like now." Aria said with a grin. "Its gonna be priceless."
I tilted my head at her."Was he different looking now than before?"
"Oh yeah. Dudes almost 60 and he walks in clueless that he's looking like a frat boy now." Adrien chimed in.
"60… I'm sorry I don't think I heard you correctly."
"Yep. He's supposed to be an old man walking with a limp. Instead he's young and apparently hot to you." Nue said with a smirk towards me.
My shoulders tensed and I looked towards the floor, caught in my apparently poorly hidden affections. "Sh-shut up! I have no idea what you're talking about." It didn't even matter that he was actually an old man, at least not yet it didn't. I still wanted to see more of him…all of him. But there's no way I'd let them know that, not out loud at least.
"Sure you don't." Nue needled at me again. Boy, I'd love to smack that grin off his face.
A loud crashing sound snapped everyone out of their thoughts and conversations. It came from the direction Elias went in…
