Thoughts

Brett looked over at Levi. He hadn’t moved since Brett had run the wolf though. Levi was looking at Brett like he had never seen him before. His face was pale and his eyes were wide. His breaths came in pants and he was shaking slightly.

“Dude, are you okay?” Brett asked Levi. Brett felt the change. The slight green light was fading the smell of the forest was almost gone now. The fence that Brett had torn apart fell and crashed to the floor. There was yelling from the gym below. “This is no time to be in shock.” Brett said grabbing Levi and pulling him towards the narrow staircase. “We need to get out of here now.”

They meet Taylor coming up as they were halfway down. “What happened?” he asked animatedly. “One moment Sam is saying how you’re taking too long and then the next we hear a gigantic crash coming form up here.”

Brett was about to answer him when Levi beat him to it. “It was awesome!” Brett almost strangled him. “That other guy from the other school just came here to fight Brett. Brett just threw him down and then the guy just started going crazy and broke the fence then took off didn’t you see him go past you on your way up?”

Brett looked in shock at Levi. That was not what he had been expecting him to say. Levi was still white and shaky, but the light was coming back into his eyes and he was grinning excitedly.

“No I didn’t see him go past me.” Taylor said looking around him, and up and down the stairs. Looking to see if Camdon was still hiding somewhere in the shadows. “Figures, the guy looked like nothing but trouble. Well we better take off. Most of the guys are already gone, come on.”

They took of down the stairs clearing the last in one great leap and headed out the gym doors. The color was now back in Levi’s face and his eyes shown with excitement. Brett should have known better. Levi would never betray him. Levi had been the only one that he had told his experiences to. For some reason he had been certain that Levi would never betray him and tell anyone. Now he just had those thoughts and feelings confirmed to him.

They didn’t stop running until they were safely outside of the school. They stood for a moment panting Levi had his hands on his knees. Brett slapped him on the back. Levi wasn’t the best at running and sports. Finally Taylor stood up looking around.

“Well I think I’m gonna go look for the other guys and make sure they haven’t been caught. I’ll catch you latter at Practice k Brett.” Taylor said turning to go back into the building.

“Okay sees you at Practice.” Brett replayed watching Taylor disappear into the building. Levi and Brett just stood there in silence just looking at each other finally Levi broke it with a question.

“Sooo, what are you?” He asked

“What do you mean?”

“Well you threw a pony sized wolf around like it was a doll and then you riped a mettle poll out of the ground and used it like a spear. I know you’ve told me stories, but to be honest, I thought they were just stories. That was pretty weird and in your case superhuman and in its case not human at all.” Levi paused for a moment thinking and then almost yelled excitedly. “Dude are you a super hero?”

“Wait, what?” Brett said confused

“Have you ever been bitten by a radioactive spider?” Levi asked.

“No”

“Are you an alien from another world?”

“NO!”

“Just making sure, did you ever sign up for a top military experiment?”

“No.”

“Would you tell me if you had?”

“Yes.”

“Sweet, Are you a billionaire and were your parents killed in front of you.”

“Dude Levi you know my parents.”

“Did an alien come and give you a magic ring that you have to charge at night.”

“Dude no and what’s with the alien questions.”

“Just making sure. So that only leaves two possibilities. One you’re a mutant. And the other is that you’re a demigod.”

“Dude Levi you’re confusing me buddy.” Brett said his head starting to hurt.

“Well it is standard for superhero origins. If you’re not an alien, have no alien weapons, aren’t rich and haven’t had your parent killed in front of you, if you haven’t been exposed to anything then that leaves being a mutant and or demigod. Although we are gonna have to keep an eye on you and make sure you don’t turn into a werewolf.”

“A what. Dude Levi you know that sometimes you’re really out there.” Brett said incredulously.

“Come on Brett wasn’t that what Camdon was. He was a kid that turned into a wolf. I think that is the definition of a werewolf.”

“Look Levi I don’t even know what’s going on. I would love to know what’s going on but I don’t. So right now I just want to get my arm wrapped up. I’m surprised Taylor didn’t say anything about it.” Brett walked off starting to go back inside and turned around when he realized that Levi wasn’t following. Levi was staring down at the sidewalk lost in thought. “Dude are you coming?”

“Well I can’t help you with your arm.” Levi said. “But I might know where we can get some answers.”
