33 – Misfits 30 – Immunity

=Outside The Community Centre, The Lake=

They were standing knee deep in the lake pulling garbage and shopping trolleys out to clean it.

Alisha pulled out a shopping bag with who knows what inside. "That is fuckin' disgusting," she said.

Chris shook his head. "Just don't think about it," he said while putting a shopping trolley he had just pulled out on the pavement.

The new probation worker walked over to them and looked around. "Where's Nathan?" He asked.

"He's in the locker room," Simon said.

The probation worker smiled. "Oh, that's funny, because I was just in there. I didn't see him," he said.

"He had a family emergency," Kelly said.

"What kind of emergency?" He asked.

"His brother came to see him," Curtis said.

"And how is that an emergency?" the probation worker retorted.

"He's got cancer," Alisha said.

"Oh, really?" The probation worker asked.

"Yeah, his brother was like crying and shit. It was really sad... Think he needed a drink," Kelly said.

"Oh, so Nathan's taken him to the pub... has he?" The probation worker asked.

Kelly nodded.

"His brother hasn't got cancer, has he?" The probation worker asked.

"He might have," Alisha said.

"He should feel for lumps... in his testicles," Simon said.

"Right..." the probation worker said before walking off.

Chris' phone vibrated. It looked like Lily was texting him. He sat down on the edge of the lake.

[Ice Queen: There's some wanker here who just tried to hit on me while I was working. He just wouldn't take no for an answer.]

Chris sighed.

[Chris: Was it some skinny wanker with bouffant hair that doesn't know when to shut up?]

[Ice Queen: How did you know?]

[Chris: Yeah that prick is Nathan.]

[Ice Queen: Nathan? The one from community service?]

[Chris: Yeah that one. Just tell him you're with me and how I would love to have a good talk with him later.]

=Afternoon, The Community Centre, Hallway=

Chris was laying on one of the couches bunking off from community service when he received another text.

[Seth the Power Broker: I managed to get a new power. Not sure if you'll want it.]

[Chris: Cool. What is it?]

[Seth the Power Broker: Well it doesn't do anything itself, but it seems to provide immunity from other powers.]

Chris' eyes lit up. 'Perfect,' he thought.

[Chris: Let's meet after community service. Unless you have time to drop by here before then.]

=That Evening, Seth's Home=

Chris stepped out of the cab. After closing the door he patted the roof of the cab.

It didn't take Seth long to answer the door.

Seth smiled. "Hey. You made it," he said.

They gave each other a firm handshake and a hug.

"Come in. Want something to drink? I've got.. uh... water? Tea? Sorry been a little busy so there's not much," Seth offered awkwardly.

Chris plopped down on his couch in the living room. "So tell me about this new power you bought," he said.

Seth shrugged. "They weren't able to tell me all that much and my ability only gives me a general indication of what a power is since I can't use them myself while I'm holding them. As I said it seems to be some kind of power immunity. No real clue as to what extent though," he said.

Chris nodded. "Well whatever. I'll take it as long as there are no negative side effects," he said.

"None as far as I'm aware," Seth said.

Chris stretched his hand out.

The room lit up in a myriad of bright colours.

=The Next Morning, In Front Of The Community Centre=

Simon, Nathan and Chris were waiting in front of the Community Centre for the probation worker to arrive.

"Is your brother staying with you?" Simon asked.

"Yeah. I've always wanted a brother. Someone to idolize me. I can advise him, teach him stuff," Nathan said.

"Like what?" Simon asked.

"Like, er... Does he know how to dance?" Nathan asked.

"Do you?" Simon asked.

"Well, I'll get lessons, because that's what brothers do for each other. Have either of you got any brothers?" He asked.

Chris shook his head. "Only child," he said.

"A sister," Simon said.

Nathan quickly turned around and approached Simon with a serious look. "Is she cute? You should think about getting me and her together," he said.

He looked deep into Simon's eyes. "Hey, man. Someone's going to. Better it be a close friend," he said.

He started slowly humping the air. "Someone you can trust to be gentle and respectful... Me," he said pointing at himself.

Simon frowned. "She's 12!" He retorted.

"Oh! Probably best to leave it a couple of years, then," Nathan said.

Chris chuckled. "Simon. You better leave that forever," he said.

Nathan frowned. "What? Barry would be lucky to have me as a brother," he said.

The new probation worker walked up to Nathan. "Something you want to tell me?" He asked.

"Look, if it's about all that booze going missing from the kitchen, I don't know anything about that!

"It's about you disappearing to the pub yesterday," the probation worker said.

Nathan smiled awkwardly. "Oh...that. Hmm. Forget the booze thing, then," he said.

The probation worker pushed past Nathan to get to the front door of the community centre. "Don't take the piss," He said.

"I never do," Nathan said.

He sniggered and mimed wanking himself off behind the probation worker's back.

The probation worker turned around to look at him again and Nathan quickly stopped. He just shook his head and headed in.

=The Community Centre=

"We're going out tonight. Are you coming?" Kelly said.

"Oh, yeah, cool, man. I'll bring my little brother. We are going to be knee deep in pussy!" Nathan said.

Kelly frowned. "You ain't getting a sniff!" She said before walking off.

"She is so into me and she doesn't even know it," Nathan said.

Nathan looked around with a smirk. "Ok. So me and my brother swimming in pussy tonight. Who else is coming?" He asked.

"I'm up. I might have one more to bring," Chris said.

Nathan looked at him nervously. "Not that bird from bar right?" He asked.

Chris raised his brow, but said nothing more.

Nathan pat him on the shoulder. "Good on you mate," he said quickly before running off himself.

Chris shook his head and took out his phone quickly opening his messages with Lily.

[Chris: Hey! We're going out to a party tonight. Want to come along?]

[Ice Queen: Maybe]

[Chris: Come on. It'll be fun.]

[Ice Queen: k]

[Chris: Great. I'll pick you up 8 work?]

[Ice Queen: See you at 8.]
