Needed conversation

A day following the traumatic events of Dis's outrage, Cameron, Katherine, Marcy and Ruby all decided to relax at the park as they waited for Ruby's parents to pick her up.

"There goes our favorite pop ideal singer." Cameron said in disappointment.

"Now who are you guys gonna listen to?" Marcy asked.

"You know I heard that there's this new female singer around our age who just recently popped off." Ruby added.

Katherine paused and turned to Ruby "Is her name Star Bliss?" She asked with some excitement escaping.

"Hell yeah it is." Ruby answered.

The two girls squealed.

"Oh my god, I literally thought I was one of the only people that listen to her." Katherine revealed.

"Same here." Ruby related.

"Did you listen to her first song.. What was it? Blissful."

"Listen no. I lived that song."

"Isn't Star Bliss related to Jackson Trement?"

"Jackson Trement?!" Marcy squealed almost.

"Yeah."

"He is so gorgeous!" Marcy exclaimed, "I absolutely love that guy, he's such a top tier actor."

Cameron sat in the background feeling like a tertiary character in the story. He continued drinking his Shakie drink while the girls fan girl'd over actors and singers.

"Hey Cammy." Ruby called.

"What's up?"

"I might sound crazy or stupid when I say this, but please tell me if I need glasses or not because I think that's Aiden."

"Aiden?" Cameron turned to where Ruby was looking. "Aiden?!!?!"

The small exclamation of his name was able to grab his attention. Aiden turned to the side and was shocked with joy to see Cameron and Ruby. The boy ran down to the two waving.

Cameron got up from his placement on the ground and ran into a fist bump with Aiden. The two smirked as they shared a look of acknowledgement.

Aiden starts the greeting off with a joke. "Mr Bad Boy is here in the city ready to course bad boy havoc."

"That sounds super cringe dude, but I think your the bad boy."

"Come on now don't lie to yourself. When have I ever gotten detention ... Exactly never."

"When did I ever get expelled?"

"Alright Mr Bad Boy you win this round."

"I don't know about being expelled. But I do remember Cammy having been suspended about twenty times before you arrived." Ruby added.

"That's practically being expelled at this point isn't?"

"To be Continued." Cameron said.

"What are you two even doing here? Did you guys also come to see the concert?"

"Yep." Ruby and Cameron answered.

"Hectic. I heard that the concert got interrupted by the star going crazy or some shit like that."

"It did." Katherine spoke up. "We were lucky enough to have escaped before we got murdered or some shit."

"Oh really now..."

Aiden moved over to Cameron and Ruby.

"Who's the girl?"

"Oh Katherine." Ruby said loudly, "She's Cameron's sister."

Aiden paused, "Wait what?" He turned to Cameron and then turned to Katherine. "What?"

"I'm sorry she didn't finish the introduction." Katherine spoke. "I'm actually his half sister, we're not related like that."

"Yeah we're not."

"Oh then hi I'm Aiden, Cameron's friend."

"I'm not blind I can see that."

"Okay. Thought you'd be a bit more nicer than this, I guess the stereotype continues."

"What stereotype?"

"The pretty brunettes are always the feisty ones."

Katherine rolled her eyes and walked off. Ruby pondered for a second before waving the two off and following Katherine.

"That scared her off, and here I thought nothing in this world can scare her off."

"I was being serious you know."

"Disgusting dude. And don't you already have a girlfriend?"

"...had... Let's talk somewhere else..."

Cameron and Aiden sat besides one another on a park bench. Aiden sighed as he drink a Shakie Cameron gave him. The two both had similar bags that were placed inline with one another.

"Fuck man... Life's hard..."

"Yeah..."

"I thought she was the one you know... I really felt like I could be with her forever... But that was all a false vision..."

"We're in middle school this is classic."

"You don't understand... I thought she excepted me for who I was, but the second I.. I started acting like...like.. that... She just set off and left... She told me she would except me."

"What's this about?"

"It's about my power... Well my mutant abilities, sometimes I feel like a monster in this world and I get sometimes that makes me crazy, but if Abbie really loved me, she would have excepted me going crazy."

"Crazy? I've never seen you go crazy."

A ball knocked Aiden upside the head and he flinched. The little boy who kicked the ball ran up to the two and picked up the ball while laughing .

The boy continued laughing, Aiden bent down on one knee and held the boy by the shoulder tightly. The boy continued laughing for a couple of seconds before all of a sudden started feeling pain by his heart, not physical emotional and for some reason he also felt angry.

Cameron noticing this pulled Aiden's arm off of the boy's shoulder.

"Dude what the hell!?!"

"... I...I ...I'm sorry... I..."

The boy ran off and Aiden fell to his rectum with his head down.

"... This power is a curse... The worst curse ever... It's just so hard to control it when I get emotional and my feelings overwhelm me. These mutant genetics are awful, my powers activate on their own sometimes, I put the pain I feel onto others by accident sometimes... That's wrong though... It's so wrong, but what's worse is that... I like it, I love it... But I don't want to like it, I don't want to love it... I don't know anymore..."

"I get it..."

"Don't Cameron, please don't. I've heard that one so many times now. Nobody really understands me..."

Cameron took out his phone then proceeded to play a video. The video was a compilation of the alien heroes doing their classic heroics. It first showed Overspeed saving a couple of people from a crash, then it showed Static-Brain shocking down a mutant criminal, then it switched over to CrashSpring who was kicked out of a burning building by Par, then it switched over to ThrowUp escaping the mall police before switching to Mimick being chased down by a dog, then a news video of Woodworks battling on the bridge. The compilation later ended.

"What? The alien heroes?"

"No... Me..."

"Excuse me what?"

"You've noticed how all the alien heroes have the same white-ish green hourglass symbol... That's because they are all the same person they aren't a faction they are all me..."

"...are you kidding? Your joking right?"

Cameron popped up the dial then proceeded to press the dial buttons switching through his alien rosters.

"The thing I wanted to show you the other night when you showed me your powers was the watch, the the reason I was gone when the NERD Olympics building was being attacked was because I was saving lives with the Omnitrix... A burden I was forced to deal with..."

"...you are serious..."

"This thing is a powerful dangerous device that could kill anything... But I love it, I like it and that's wrong. This thing pasted a bounty on my back, a bounty that could lead to the death of the people I care about... I always try to brush situations off with jokes, but truthfully I'm scared..."

"...same..."

"No wonder we're such good friends. We need each other to cope... We get each other."

"Yeah... I'm feeling a lot better now... Let's apologize to that boy-"

"Nah." Cameron shaked his head. "Let the brat cry, it'll teach him to mess with us teens."

A black car pulled up in the distance the windows were up and they were completed dark.

"I have to go..."

"Oh... Guess I'll be seeing you then."

"Next year, so in other words a couple of weeks from now."

Aiden ran to the park benches took his bag and waved goodbye as he walked toward the black vehicle.

"Bye Ruby! Bye! See you when the wedding starts!"

"Bye guys!"
