#11 of Road Rovers

chapter 2


I woke up early next morning, groggy and dizzy. What the hell happened last night? I asked myself. I looked around. There were no alcoholic beverages or drugs of any sort. Exile's side of the bed was empty, which meant that he was more-than-likely eating breakfast with the others.

I decided to make his bed and clean his room up a bit before I went to join the others as well.

As I walked through the sliding doors, I saw the Road Rovers talking up a storm at the dining table. It looked more like a heated argument, actually.

Blitz was trying to explain how he thought there was something fishy about last night. The only reason for his concern was the way Exile was acting. He seemed more cheerful than usual.

Hunter didn't really mind that much, but he was yelling because he was trying to tell Blitz how he should just chill out, while Colleen was yelling at him because she didn't like the way he was acting. She actually doesn't like him at all, but that'll be explained at a different time.

"Hey, everyone, what's going on?" I asked.

"Blitz is acting *just a little bit* insane," Hunter replied.

"No, I'm not! I'm telling you, Exile is hiding something! I just know it!" the Doberman retorted.

"Oh, just shut your bloomin' trap already," Colleen said. "Exile never has anything to hide, unlike you, Weird Boy."

"Why does everyone call me that!?" Blitz screamed.

"Alright, guys, let's just chill for a second and leave Exile alone for a bit. Let's just go into headquarters and find out about your next mission," I soothed.

"Yeah, Jay's got a point. Let's go, Rovers," said Hunter.

Everyone but Exile left the room, who walked up next to me. "What was their problem?" he asked.

"Blitz thinks that you're hiding something," I said to him.

"What's there to hide?"

"Technically, nothing."

"What do you mean by 'technically,' Comrade?"

"Well, if anything, it's my kind of technically. I was one that started it."

"Started what?"

"When I went into your room. It's my fault for this and I'll take the blame. I don't want you getting into trouble for something as dumb as this."

"No, no, it's okay. I like seeing Weird Boy explode. It's funsky."

"Yeah, I guess it is, isn't it? Well, let's join the others. Professor Shepherd might be giving you guys details about your next mission. "

"Who?"

"Master."

"Oh, yes. Let's go."

We went into headquarters, and Professor Shepherd was indeed giving the details of the Road Rovers' next mission.

"Rovers, Parvo is trying to sabotage the security controls of the White House in order to gain control of as many of the weapons located there as possible. This is a serious mission, Rovers. Go and stop Parvo, before it's too late."

"Yes, sir!" the Rovers exclaimed.

Yay, I thought to myself. Now I have to be left here. All alone.

"As for you, Jay, you're going with them as well," Professor Shepherd added, as if reading my thoughts.

"Oh, uh, yes, sir!" I stammered.

"Alright, Rovers, here's the deal: me, Colleen, and Shag will take the Street Rover, while Blitz, Exile, and Jay take the Sub Rover," Hunter explained.

"Hey, wait a minute! Why do I have to be paired up with Russian boy here?" Blitz cried, angrily.

"Because I said so. Now, let's hit the road, Rovers!"

Everyone got into their groups and went to their assigned vehicles. As did I.

As soon as Hunter, Colleen, and Shag drove off, me, Exile, and Blitz got into the submarine-thing and immediately went under water. There was no need to use seatbelts, so we all just chilled while awaiting for the enemy to be in our sights.

"Hey, guys, do you need anything?" I asked.

"I am all goodsky, Comrade," Exile replied.

"I would like my filer, please," Blitz commanded.

I did as I was told and gave Blitz his (highly unneeded and fairly girly) nail filer. Weird Boy.

"Anything new on this Parvo guy?" I asked Exile.

"Nothing yet. But we'll see him soon. I'm sure of it," he replied.

Suddenly, Blitz screamed. We looked and saw a _giant_Bulldog submarine-ship thing.

"...Dang..." I uttered.

"Looks like it's go time, Comrades! Let's kick some honey!" Exile shouted.

I knew what Exile meant, so I decided not to correct him.

"And bite their tushies!" Blitz exclaimed.

"Don't be a weird boy," Exile murmured.

We managed to find a way in and ran inside. The halls were dark and empty. We crept quietly and wearily through, inspecting everything from the ground to the ceiling. It was kinda eerie, even for me.

I've never been in something that was this huge before, so this was all new to me. I mean, I've been on other missions with these guys before, but it was never as strange and eerie as this was. It was kinda fun, actually.

"Do you guys know much about this place?" I asked Blitz and Exile.

"Unfortunately, yes," Blitz answered.

"Don't worry Comrade Jay, there's nothing to be afraid of here," Exile soothed. "There's just some fancy-schmancy soldier peoples who think that they can kick our bunskies. Piece of beans, can of cake."

"You mean...those people?" I asked, pointing to the biggest, gnarliest creatures that I had ever seen. They were tall, muscular, and they had weird green pores and blue skin. They looked almost like fish. Piranhas, even.

"Ah, the return of those Piranha peoples. It's too bad we didn't bring Muzzle with us, he would've totally showed them who was bossky!" Exile murmured.

The piranhas charged at us. Exile pulled out a ray gun, while Blitz pulled out a Bazooka. They shot at their enemies, but the piranhas were unaffected.

"Um...was this part of the plan?" I asked.

"Just a minor setback, Comrade," Exile muttered just before he shot a couple lasers. They hit one of the piranhas and it fell over. The others charged at us. I screamed and covered my head.

Quickly, Exile used his freeze vision and froze the piranha creature. I was stunned by this. I've been on several missions with him before but _never_saw that!

"Wow," I muttered.

"It is gift." Exile smiled.

I smiled back, but it only lasted for a second. I saw yet another piranha creature leaping towards Exile. "Look out!" I shouted.

He turned around and shot it with a couple more lasers. The piranha creature disintegrated within milliseconds.

Oh, my. I better not get on his bad side whenever he's handling a gun, I thought to myself.

We finally got passed the piranhas and met up with the others.

"Took you guys long enough," Hunter muttered.

"Piranhas...they were everywhere!" Blitz yelled.

"And you think we haven't had any ourselves?" Colleen asked with an irritated tone in her voice.

"Let's just go, guys, we're almost there," Hunter insisted.

We followed him down several hallways. They were just as dark and creepy as the one me, Blitz, and Exile were in before. I hope I don't go on any missions like these for a while.

After about ten minutes of walking and fighting various dog mutants and piranhas, we finally made it to Parvo's lair. It was dark and mysterious. Sometimes I wonder how these guys don't quiver in their boots. With the exception of Blitz, that is.

"Ah, the Road Rovers. I see you've finally found my lair. Now, it's time for you all to die!" Parvo shouted. I jumped a little as he spoke the last word. I don't want to die, I thought to myself. I haven't even gotten it on with Exile yet!

"Alright, Rovers, this is the moment we've been waiting for. Pull out your weapons!" Hunter ordered.

Everyone did as they were told, and pulled out various weapons. I, for one, wasn't given a weapon, so all I had were my hands and feet. And maybe my head, if it was needed.

"Ready...aim...fire!"

Everyone fired their weapons, but nothing came out of them. Out, I thought. Not good. Parvo laughed hysterically. Trapped. That's what we were. With no source of self-defense anywhere to be seen. Or was there?

I soon realized that everyone still had their powers that they were "born" with. Everyone...except me.

"Alright, Rovers. You know what to do in case a situation like this ever happened," Hunter told the others.

Just as I thought, everyone used their special abilities to fight Parvo and save the day once again.

Hunter used his super-speed to distract Parvo, while Colleen used her martial arts skills to tear him a new one. Then everyone else pulled out Muzzle and he finished the job. It wasn't a pleasant sight to behold, I'll tell ya.

Soon after the mission was over, we reported back to headquarters to tell Professor Shepherd the good news.

"Well done, Rovers. You're good dogs. Good, good dogs," Professor Shepherd soothed. "Now, hopefully, that's the last we'll see of Parvo. At least, for a while, anyway."

The Rovers cheered and went on to finish off their day with a nice beverage or two. I went off to clean my room some more. It was pretty clean already, but I had nothing else better to do.

As I vacuumed the last corner of the rug and put the vacuum away in its proper place, I could have sworn that I heard someone enter my room. I took a look around, and I saw Exile standing right behind me.

"Oh! Hi there, Exile. What's up?" I asked him.

"Comrade...I just wanted to say that you..."

"Yes?"

"You looked so beautiful back there. On the mission. You looked so frightened and scared."

"Well, I was," I confessed.

"You have no idea how good it feels to save a damsel in distress. It makes me feel like a hero."

"But, Exile, you are a hero. You always have been" I smiled. "You don't need a damsel in distress to show that. No matter what you do, you'll always be a hero. That goes for all of us, actually. Even Blitz."

"I know, Jay, but still."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," I soothed.

"Ca...can I ask you something, Comrade?" Exile asked.

"What is it, Exile?"

"I...want to..."

"You want to...what?" I kindly urged.

"I want to...touch you. Just a little bit."

"Oh...okay." I blushed. We sat on my bed and I slowly slid my hand toward his.

He slid his hand over mine and kept it there for a bit. "This...this feels kinda different, Comrade."

"This is how it's supposed to feel." I smiled once more.

Exile started to curl his fingers, and we held hands. We held hands for what felt like eternity. It was...exhilarating. I liked this eternity. A lot.

We looked into each other's eyes and held our stares towards one another for another eternity or so.

I started to blush, and looked down towards the ground; wanting to hide my face, and feelings, from him.How embarrassing! Now he thinks I'm even more of a Weird Boy!

"Comrade Jay, why are you hiding your face from me?" Exile asked, concerned.

"I...I don't want you to think of me as a Weird Boy," I answered honestly.

"But we were just sleeping together in my bedsky," Exile murmured.

"I know, but...that was...I don't even know."

"It's okay, Comrade. I wanted that to happen. I also want to do something else."

"What kind of 'something else'?"

"I want to...feel you. Feel you all over. I want to explore your entire body, up and downsky. Just your hand makes shivers go down my spine."

"Oh...why, thank you." I blushed.

"Jay...I think I'm in love with you," Exile confessed.

Tears started to brim around my eyes. "I think I'm in love with you, too," I also confessed.

Suddenly, I threw myself on him, wrapped myself around his shining armor, and wept. I let everything go. My feelings, my past, everything. I just wanted to tell someone, needed to tell someone. But there was no one worthy enough for my deep, dark secrets. Until now. I trusted Exile with more than my very soul. I think that means something.

Exile wrapped his arms around me and listened attentively. I could tell that he was actually listening, actually wanting to care about my inner thoughts and feelings. I think I hit something inside him - hard.

"Comrade, I...I didn't know..."

"I know. Nobody knew. Until now," I said, wiping my tears with my left arm.

"Is there anything I could do?" he asked.

"There might be...one thing," I slithered, my tears finally dried.

"And what might that be?" Exile wondered.

I only gave him a smile.
