Subject: Tales Of The New Phoenix chapter 6

This is not my first story, but I think this is going to be where I
flourish. My previous stories lay in hibernation awaiting the day I decide
to pick them back up again. ("Learning Curve" in Boy Bands, and "Johnny
Boy" in High School) I've never had as many Ideas running around my head as
with Tales Of The New Phoenix. I don't know exactly how fast I will be able
to get chapters out, so please don't kill me. And, as you can see by my
title, I am going to have a character based on The Phoenix from Marvel
Comics. I am going to go a bit of my own way with the Char. so any die hard
fans, please refrain from hurting me, ok? My experience with the Phoenix is
limited to the cartoon, and the Dark Phoenix comic book saga. I do hope to
hold true to the heart of the character, but will be making some changes
just as was made with The Bat Man. Now, on to the boring stuff.

I do not own any of the following:

Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Pink, Christina Aguilera, The
Wallflowers, and any other celebrities. I also know nothing of their sexual
orientations.

Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and all related characters.

The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter book series by Laurell K. Hamilton.

The Vampire Chronicles, Tales Of The New Vampires, The Mayfair Witches, all
series written by Anne Rice.

Buffy & Angel television series.

Star Wars

Star Trek, Star Trek TNG, Star Trek DS9, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek The
New Frontier, Enterprise television series, movies, and novels.

I am restating; I do not own any of the above mentioned, although I wish I
did. Those make tons of money. I do not know the sexual orientation of
anyone mentioned for certain. Everything I write is purely fiction from my
mind. Please don't sue me, I am a poor college student and have nothing. If
you are under aged, go away. This site is for adults. Warning to the closed
minded, gay fiction is about to start.

I've received a few E-Mails. I will respond, I promise. I'm in the middle
of my finals right now and just... am way too frazzled. I'm actually
considering setting this story down until after finals, but I keep seeing a
flaming bird behind my eye lids. This section of the Phoenix Story will be
ending with Chapter 10, I think, and then "The Story of the _____ of ____"
will begin. (What? Those two words would give away WAY too much. 8^D )



Chapter 6:

	We didn't share a dream that night. I was disappointed by that fact
when I woke up. I opened my eyes to find my bed empty, and for a moment
panicked. Josh had mentioned that he needed to fly out to Orlando today and
finish with Nsync, and also pack his stuff to move out here. `Did he
already go?'
	"No, I'm still here!" Josh shouted from the other room.
	"What the...?" I stood up, grabbed a robe from the open closet
door, and headed for the Kitchen.
	"Josh, I didn't say anything." I looked at him; he was scrambling
eggs for breakfast.
	"Really?" He stopped what he was doing. "That's weird. I heard you
clearly ask if I had already gone. Could you have projected it?"
	"I don't think so... I have more control over my powers then
that. It may have been a fluke, like with the dream." `That has to be it.'
	"Whatever. Listen, I need to leave at the same time you do. Its 10
now. I set up the table I found in the store room on the patio, and thought
we could have brunch outside." I smiled and walked up to him. He moved
closer and pulled me into a kiss. "So, how was patrol? What's Green Lantern
like?"
	"Patrol was quiet. With the number of vamps I saw at that where
house, I thought that we would be busy. Green Lantern said this is quieter
than any patrol in New York. That makes me nervous." I walked over to the
patio and opened the door. There was a slight scent from the bay, but not
too much. We were pretty far from it.
	"Blake... there is something I was thinking about. When I move out
here, there is going to be a lot of stuff. It won't be big enough for the
both of us." He looked nervous. I laughed at him and started pulling stuff
out of the fridge.
	"Josh, we'll get a new place. I'm not remotely poor, and unless you
have really bad management, you're not remotely poor. Hell, I own 3 houses
besides this place. The club is doing unbelievably well. We can get a nice,
old Victorian... or a nice new house... or how about a town house? It
doesn't matter as long as I'm with you." I opened a cupboard to grab some
English Muffins.
	"You own four houses? And I thought Justin was living extravagantly
with his collection of cars." We both laughed.
	"Technically I inherited them. I own a two story home in
Cupertino. It's the house I grew up in. I rent it to Andreas Mom and Dad
for about... $600 a month? I don't remember. I do know I should be renting
it for about 3 grand. Then I own a small place in the Santa Cruz
Mountains. My parents loved to go there every once in a while. It's so
quiet. I rent it out to a small family that moved here from Maine. They
have a son, 16, who was dying to go to Santa Cruz State. After their
youngest son died from Cancer, they couldn't bare to live so far from
him. Then there is the house in Hawaii. 3 stories. It was my Grand
Parents. I get a lot of rent from that place. A family lives there, 7
children. I'm still amazed by that one. They were all born year after
year. The dad is a neurosurgeon, and the mom stays home. I think right now
she's going to school part time, going for a teaching degree. Their oldest
just started high school." I was lost in thought for a bit.
	"You're some landlord. Most people would be happy with just a name;
you know the story surrounding your tenants." We both laughed for a bit.
	"I know. I wanted to make sure that the houses were used as homes,
not just dwellings. My family would have wanted it that way." Josh let a
small tear slip down his cheek, then changed the subject. "They guys are
all gonna help me pack, except Joey. Remind me to find out what's up with
him when everything settles down, will ya? So I'll be coming back in
exactly one week. Which I do mean exactly. My return flight is scheduled to
land at the same time as my flight out today is scheduled to leave." We
gathered the food we had pulled together, with his Eggs slightly steaming
in the bowl he had placed them in, and started shuttling everything
outside.
	"Well, bring me back a Disney World hat, K?" He giggled, and we sat
down to eat.
	"As long as that's all you're wearing the night I'm back." I
blushed, and we ate.

	Josh had packed the night before, so all he had to do was catch a
cab to the airport. I cried as he drove away, fingering the ring that he
had left me with. I looked at it, amazed that it was so exactly like the
one in the dream. I jumped in my car, and headed for the Club. I decided to
use the number I was given on the way there.
	"Hello?" Came the groggy voice.
	"You stayed out on patrol after I left, didn't you?" Ryan laughed.
	"Yeah, well, I had too much energy. I really needed a fight. I
never did find one." I laughed at him, he sounded so disappointed.
	"Well, I'm calling because I thought we could catch some food
before you head out on patrol. Since I won't be there to give you a hand, I
thought it would be the least I could do." I turned into the parking lot of
Serenity.
	"Cool. I'll swing by your club. What time is good?" I turned off
the engine, and thought for a minute. I needed to meet with Pink for the
sound check at 5, and the club was closed for the night for set up,
	"8 sound ok? I'm bringing a friend, so make sure you're in street
clothes." I opened the door and headed for the Entrance, seeing Andrea
pacing in front of the doors. When she spotted me, she crossed her arms,
what appeared to be a new paper in her hand.
	"See you then, bye." We both hung up.
	"What's up Andy?" I walked up to her, and she held a half page
sized photo of The Phoenix which was plastered on the cover of the news
paper.
	"Care to explain?" She asked. She didn't seem too happy.
	"What?" I asked simply.
	"I know this is you!" She whispered. No one was around. I made sure
by scanning the immediate area.
	"What makes you think it was me?" I asked, slightly nervous but
holding it in.
	"Well, body size and shape. Where the photo was taken. The stance
you take when you fly. The direction that the giant bird is coming from is
where you live." She rolled up the paper, and started hitting me with
it. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?!?!" I flinched down and ducked for cover
under my own arms.
	"I just got these powers, it's a long story."
	"Not that moron, that he proposed! You've only been dating like a
week, and you already have an engagement ring?" She grabbed my hand, and
eyed the silver colored ring.
	"That too is a long story." I pulled her inside and we headed into
the office. The crew was setting up the stage lights, and the bar staff was
stocking everything up. Once inside, I told her all about the night I met
JC, the trip to the moon, becoming the Phoenix, meeting Green Lantern (But
not giving his name) and finally, the dream world where he proposed.
	"So you made this ring out of a dream?" She was in awe.
	"That's the theory. I can create my Phoenix Suit out of thin air,
so I think I made these rings in the same way." She thought for a bit, then
looked at me like a 6 year old.
	"Can I see you change? Please? Pretty please with a Tequila Sunrise
on tip?" I laughed. At her excitement.
	"Sure." I said standing up. "Ok, my eyes will be really bright, so
don't look directly into them." I closed them and stood behind my desk. I
shifted the matter surrounding my body, and reformed it into my black
suit. I changed my hair from black to red, and lit my eyes, though they
were closed. I hovered into the air, mostly for effect, and let some
streamers of cool flames float about. I then opened my eyes and looked down
at Andrea. Then with a flash from my eyes, which caused her to look away, I
shifted everything back into my street clothes and let the streamers fade,
I dropped to the floor, and she turned back.
	"That was SO fucking cool!" She stood bouncing in place.
	"No telling, ok? Now, we are going out to dinner with a new friend
of mine. His name's Ryan. He's from New York and is new to the Bay." She
got a funny look for a minute, and then smiled at me.
	"Ok. Pink should be here any minute. We should go meet her." She
stood and we went out to meet the singer.

	Pink turned out to be a totally cool person. She was also a totally
great singer. The sound check was flawless, and I got to hear a song from
her new album, and then Andrea and I went to meet Ryan.
	He was just walking to the front door when we exited. Andrea
suddenly stopped, and I spun to see why. She just stood there looking
towards Ryan with a look of shock. I turned to him and saw the same look.
	"Pooh Bear?" Andy asked breaking into a smile.
	"Oh my God! Andy!" They ran to each other and fell into a hug.
	"Andrea, I'd like you to meet Ryan. Ryan, this is my sister
Andrea." I just walked towards my car. "Leave it to me to ALWAYS Find some
twisted cosmic way of wrapping my entire existence into happy
coincidences." I opened my door, climbed in, and shut it. They were still
hugging. "Let's see. I'm now a super hero. I'm engaged to a man who has two
friends dating and married to superhero's, another who is hanging out with
a superhero, and now my sister seems to KNOW my new super hero
partner. You'd think this would be enough to drive you BONKERS. Well, look
at that, it has. I'm now talking to myself." I slammed my head against the
steering wheel and left it there, blaring horn and all.
	"Blake, what the hell are you doing?" I turned to see Andrea and
Ryan standing at the now opened passenger door.
	"Thanking the universe for unbelievably weird coincidences. My life
has become unbelievable now." I smiled as they piled in. "Next stop, Dirty
Rose. So, you two obviously know each other. How?"
	"Well, he's my ex." I turned to Andrea, letting my powers keep
track of the driving as I looked her in the eye.
	"What?"
	"Blake, you know I hate it when you do that. Eye's on the road! And
don't give that mind's eye crap." I smiled, and awaited the rest of the
story. Ryan was being awfully quiet in the back, so I lowered the rearview
mirror telekinetically. He was staring out the window smiling
goofily. "Well... you know how I lived in Portland until the 9'Th grade?"
	"Yeah?"
	"Well... so did he." She said smiling.
	"I moved to New York the same time she moved down here. We dated
throughout Middle School." I looked in the mirror, and spotted him spotting
me. "PS, you suck at covert surveillance." He held his ring up and pushed
the mirror back to its original position.
	"Ryan? You're a mutant?" Andy asked, turning in her seat to spot
him.
	"No, I just have this ring. I got it from some green guy. He said
it's The Green Lantern Ring, and that it's the most powerful weapon in the
universe. I let's me create anything I can imagine. It's really cool. I'm
sorta... well... a Super Hero." At this he smiled meekly.
	"So Ryan is the guy Blake? The green dude?" her eyes were
absolutely sparkling. I swear she was meant for soap operas.
	"Yeah. He's my new partner." I said smiling. "At least we won't
need to use any subterfuge tonight."
	"So... I don't remember you having a brother when we were kids
Andy." I smiled at Andy, I was gonna let her field this one all by
herself. The last time someone from her past asked that, I became the kid
locked in the basement for 16 years. I looked at the poor woman she spoke
to, and told her of my daring escape.
	"It's complicated, but we are actually just best friends." She
caught me off guard with the truth.
	"Wait! I wanted to be the tortured child again. Or maybe the weird
clone." We laughed for a few minutes, then I put on the radio, hoping to
just have some quiet back ground music. What I got was not quiet background
music.
	"... already destroyed one of the buildings, and are now attacking
people at random. St. Josephs Cathedral is currently on fire. People are
still trapped in The Fairmont. The National Guard is trying to fight back
against the army which attacked just after dark... but are getting no
where. Repeat, Down Town San Jose is being attacked by what appears to be
an army of mutants. We are trying to evacuate but..." I turned it off and
pulled the car over.
	"Ryan?" I turned to Andrea. "Get back to Serenity. Tell the staff
to get home. Make sure Pink gets to her hotel ok." Ryan and I climbed out
as Andrea got into the drivers seat. We ran into an alley and made sure no
one was around. I shifted into my Phoenix costume, and saw Ryan pointing
his ring at his clothes and moving over his body, changing into his Green
Lantern costume. When we were done, we took off for San Jose.

	The scene was unbelievable. I looked at least a thousand people in
black uniforms sweeping the area with assault rifles, machine guns, and
other weapons. When I got closer, I saw the truth.
	"GL, their Vamps. Take `em out!" With a great cry, I descended on
the Cesar Chavez Park, where there was a large number of vamps. They turned
to me and started firing. Acting on instinct I held my hand up and a red
barrier formed ahead of me. I landed in the midst of them, encircling
myself in this barrier and letting the Phoenix form fade. I looked at one
of the trees near me, and it exploded. The vamps all turned to the
splintering tree in shock.
	I walked to a raised platform at the tip of the small park, and
turned back towards the group of vampires. The splintered tree was floating
in the air, supported by my powers. I looked at the group of vampires. They
turned to run, but I stopped them by lifting them into the air.
	I then used my powers to amplify my voice, and cause it to come
from the very air around them. "You have all heard of when it rains cats
and dogs I'm sure." I caused all of the bits of tree to fall, except a
number of sharp shards, which I pointed at the group of vampires. "Well,
this time it's raining stakes and dust." I let the stakes fly, and over
half of the vampires screamed and fell to the ground as dust. She rest just
shouted in pain. "As for you, I think you need some haircuts." I pulled the
stakes from their chests, and made them spin super fast. The spinning disks
then severed the remaining vampire's heads, and they fell to the ground in
cinders.
	I then headed for the Fairmont across the street. At the entrance I
saw one of the ancient vampires from the battle with Jessica and Eric.
	"Very impressive Mr. Phoenix. And I must also thank you for taking
care of Shivar the other night. You'll find that destroying me won't be
quite as easy. She was always a bit... weak. As we speak my colleague
Sanswah is retrieving the item we require. This," He made a sweeping
gesture of the city. "is nothing more then practice for our troops. We are
larger, and stronger, than you can imagine." He raised his palm towards me,
and I was thrown into a car parked on the street. I was amazed by the fact
that even though the car was damaged severely, I was unhurt. I stood and
faced him.
	"You may be strong vampire, but you will not win. Call off your
demons and I may destroy you quickly." I turned my head and for the first
time noticed the pile of bodies being stacked in the Pavilion Walk Way
between the Fairmont and the new building under construction next to
it. "You will pay for what you have done this night."
	"As you wish." He waved his hand in the air. I heard the sound of
gunfire die down a bit. A platoon from The National Guard came around the
corner. "And please, call me Dasro. But did I mention, we have taken
control of the human army as well? Their minds are so easy to control." I
turned and saw a National Guard soldier point a missile shoulder missile
launcher at me. Before I could react it was racing towards me. I erected
the energy shield from earlier again, but it wasn't enough to protect me
fully from the blast.
	The next thing I knew I was hurtling backwards. I smashed into a
tree, and it fell into the street. I stood shakily, and projected my mind
over the soldiers. I pushed one thought into their
minds. `Sleep. Tired. Must rest. Sleep.' They soon fell to the ground
asleep. I turned back to Dasro and swept my hands at him. He flew away from
the hotel and into the park. He skidded across the fountains in the middle
of the park.
	"You can not take care of me that easily Dasro. I am Phoenix!" I
rose into the air and allowed the phoenix flames to form. "I am power!" I
caused a fierce wind to start whirling throughout the park. "I am Protector
to the people of this world. You shall not win!" I saw a camera crew
peeking out from behind a pillar of The Tech Museum. Dasro lifted into the
air as well.
	"You may be powerful Phoenix," I was struck hard from behind. I
turned to see the other ancient vampire, Sanswah, pointing an object at
me. "But so are we." A blue blast came from the object and I was sent
hurtling to the ground. The Phoenix cried out, then dissipated around me. I
looked on, unable to move, as Dasro and Sanswah began chanting in the
air. The object Sanswah had used against me was floating between them. A
white beam of light then shot from the moon and encased them both. The
lights of the city shut down and the only light was the shaft encircling
the two Vampires.
	Green Lantern came from above the Fairmont and shot a blast at
them, but it was reflected at him and he was sent hurtling into the side of
the building. The light faded and the two vampires lowered to the
ground. Dasro looked at the Tech Museum and lifted his hand. A white stream
of light hit the building, and it exploded violently. They both then turned
to me. I knew that if I didn't do something fast they would finish me. I
closed my eyes and sought out the Phoenix. I found the power that we
shared, his fire and my mutant abilities, and drew upon it. I opened my
eyes just as two white streams of energy raced towards me.
	I felt more power inside me than ever before. I knew I was not only
drawing from my own powers, or the enhancements granted by the Phoenix, but
from the very air around me. The blasts of light were met by two streams of
plasma from my eyes. The two vampires looked on in shock as I stood.
	"Tonight you have made a great enemy. You have met the cause of
your destruction, and he is Phoenix!" I turned to the Tech Museum, now in
rubble and containing the bodies of the news crew. I felt a rage like
nothing I had ever felt. My powers were now hyper active and I could feel
the fear of the survivors and wounded of the Vampire Assault. I turned to
the charred hulk that was once the St. Joseph Cathedral, a symbol of hope,
and then back to the Vampires. "You have done enough damage demons, now
feel my wrath."
	I held my hands up towards the creatures and two white balls of
plasma formed. I launched them at the vampires, but they had no
effect. "This is not the night for this battle Phoenix. Another time
perhaps? Until then, save your humans." I heard a crunching noise behind me
and turned to see the hotel crumbling at the base. I could sense hundreds
still trapped inside. I looked back to see the Vampires rising into the
dark sky and away. I quickly acted and used my powers to hold the building
up. I then searched out Green Lantern with my mind.
	`Ryan. I need help. Ryan, where are you?'
	`I'm inside the hotel. Everything is shaking badly. What's
happening?' His reply was sluggish, he must have been hurt.
	`You need to get everyone out! Set off the fire alarm, do
something, the building is about to collapse!' The strain of supporting the
building was already tolling on my mind. I did the final thing I could
think of to get everyone out of the building. I psychically projected the
urge to flee.
	The next thing I knew GL was landing next to me. "Need some help
keeping this thing up?" He pointed his ring to one side of the building,
and green support columns formed out of nowhere. I could feel some of the
weight fall off me, but held on to the structure none the less.
	People were coming out the ruined lobby doors, and I started
scanning the building. There were quite a few still trapped behind piles of
debris, and the building was beginning to crumble. "We aren't going to be
able to do this Lantern!" I turned to the sleeping forms of the National
Guard and woke them with a thought. They looked up and saw us with our arms
pointed at the crumbling building and were unsure of whether we were the
cause of the destruction. I looked up as aircraft rose into the sky. The
vampires no doubt. I turned to the men and women I had just woken. "Inside!
People are trapped! We can't hold this building up much longer!"
	I had just finished saying this when the aircraft started firing at
us. I did my best to shield us, but the energy blasts were just too
much. Green lantern was hit and sent flying into a tree. I assumed the
burden he had taken from me earlier, and tried to support the crumbling
building. The lobby was now decimated, and people were piling onto the pool
deck.
	The guardsman radioed for a fire crew, and started firing at my
attackers. By this time I was in physical pain. My powers were at their
limits after the attack by Dasro and Sanswah. I dropped to my knees and
placed my palms to my temples. My head was beginning to throb like mad. I
never let my concentration waiver and kept my hold on the building. I lost
all track of the world around me, focusing only on the building and the
people within. I saw a fire truck park in front of the building, and the
ladder extend to the pool deck. Another truck appeared and another ladder
rose up. After 15 minutes, and an enormous amount of pain and strain, the
last of the guests were out of the hotel. The fire crews and National Guard
personnel retreated to a safe distance. I saw Green Lantern hobble over to
my side and project a protective barrier around us, then I allowed myself
to slip into darkness.

	In a distant room in the heart of a castle in England, a group of
men and women sit watching news reports.  "This is the scene in Downtown
San Jose after the massive attack by what appeared to be mutants. Hundreds
are dead tonight, and the Fairmont, Tech Museum, and St. Josephs Cathedral
are all in ruins. Congress has called an emergency meeting to discuss..."
	"... was on my way home from work when all of a sudden a dozen
black jets landed in the parking lot next to the Rep Theatre. The blasted
any cars that were in the way. Then hundreds of armed men and women in
black gear and helmets got out of the backs and started firing on
people. On picked up a man and threw him onto the roof of the Rep. I just
turned and ran. It was horrible. I actually saw one of them bit a lady. He
drank her blood like she was a vampire. I will never forget what I saw."
	A man in a simple black suit pushed a button on the table they sat
at. The monitor at the head of the room shut off, the rose into the
ceiling. "It has to be this way gentleman. They are the only fighters in
the vicinity. Their powers offer them greater advantage then even Slayers
have. They will need our help. A Watcher must be dispatched."
	"They are not SLAYERS!" A man in a red suit slammed his fist down
on the table. "We already brought in a mutant to fight the slayers battles,
and now we are in his debt. Do we really want to draw two more in so
close?"
	A man in a brown suit stood. "I do believe you are missing the
point Sir Ivan. We are in a time of desperation. Our forces have been cut
down by two thirds. We haven't the time to search out and train new
slayers. The Bay Area is about to explode. No one may know if it has to do
with the attacks on The Council, but that doesn't change the fact that
California is about to go to bloody hell! We need to support Green Lantern
and this Phoenix. Green Lantern has already proven himself in battle while
he was in New York. They are marching into the night, fighting the fight we
have been in for hundreds of years. We must support them."
	"Gentlemen and ladies," A man in a simple brown tweed stood. "we
shall put it to a simple vote. Those in favor of sending a Watcher to aid
The Phoenix and Green Lantern in their battle say aye." All at the table
except Sir Ivan voted in favor. "Apposed?"
	"Nay." He grumbled.
	"The Ayes have it. Tell Devin Charles to pack his things. Prepare
the paperwork to sign over the San Francisco estate, and transfer accounts
into his name. I want every piece of technology we have ready to be at
Phoenix and Green Lantern's disposal. Is that understood? They are about to
go to war, and I want them equipped." With that, everyone stood and left
the room to prepare.  Sir Ivan turned to the man in tweed. "This is the
most foolish thing I've ever seen this Council do."
	"It's either this, or allow America to fall to darkness. They are
fighting the good fight, we will simply fight by their sides." The man in
tweed turned and left Sir Ivan alone in the room. He turned the Monitor
back on, showing The Phoenix squaring off against Dasro.
	"It has begun." he turned and left he room.

	I awoke to find myself in a great deal of pain being flown over
High Way 280. I turned my head and saw Ryan holding me in his arms. I
closed my eyes in pain and thought of what the Mother Phoenix said.
	"Ryan. The sun. I need to get to the sun. It will heal me."  He
looked at me skeptically. "Are you sure?"
	"Positive. Please, take me to it." He changed course to the night's
sky, and we were then hurtling at unbelievable speeds. Within minutes, the
sun was all we could see ahead of us.
	"I can't take you any further Blake. My powers wont protect me any
closer to the suns corona." He looked down at me, sweat on his brow, and a
worried expression in his eyes.
	"Don't worry. I'll make it the rest of the way." I pulled out of
his hold, and flew away from him. I was still in incredible pain. My head
felt like it was in a vice. I let the Phoenix out, and we flew quickly into
the sun. I imagined it would still feel hot, but it was more like climbing
into a warm bath.
	I felt The Phoenix feeding off the plasma, and while he did that I
felt all the aches and pains I had fading away. Within moments I felt
completely better. I wanted nothing more that to stay and keep feeding, but
The Mother Phoenix's warning floated through my head. I turned and headed
back to Green Lantern. Without stopping to talk, I pulled him inside the
Phoenix Flames and we streaked throughout the solar system. I had never
felt so invigorated. Within a couple minutes we were flying past Mars. He
looked at me with awe and a tinge of fear.
	"Don't worry Ryan, I just need to blow off some excess energy. But
now that I think of it, I think I can better burn that with my
fiancé. I'll drop you in San Francisco." He started laughing, and we
headed back to the Bay.

	After dropping off Ryan in Frisco, I pulled in The Phoenix until he
was just big enough to encase me. I turned and started streaking across
America at least mach 10. "Air Force, eat you heart out." In no time I was
hovering over Orlando Florida, scanning the city bellow for Josh. My powers
were turned up to an extent I couldn't believe. I stopped everything I was
doing and just thought for a moment. I knew exactly how to reach Mars, and
even though it was in the millions of miles away, I knew exactly how to get
back to The Earth. My powers seemed much greater then I had first thought.
	I turned back to the city and let my mind flow over it. I could
sense other psychics pick up on my, but easily blocked them from searching
me out. Then I found him. Lance was visiting him, helping him pack up. I
dissipated the Phoenix Flames and looked at my attire. I shifted back into
the clothes I had on earlier and headed for Joshes house. When I reached it
I made sure no one had seen me, and then looked at my empty hands. I
decided to try out what had happened with the rings. I closed my eyes and
pictured a blue velvet teddy bear. I put some will behind it, and suddenly
felt weight in my hands. I opened my eyes and saw the teddy bear.
	I reached up and pressed the door bell. "I'll get it Jayce. You
stay here." I heard Lance call out, then pad foot over to the door. "Who is
it?" Lance asked through the door.
	"Delivery." I answered back.
	"Jayce, get a cross and some holy water! Now!" I realized that I
gave the wrong answer.
	"Lance, its Blake." I said through the door. Then I heard the lock
sliding, and he opened the door cautiously.
	"How the hell did you get here?" He said opening it wider to let me
in.
	"I am a super hero, how do you think I got here? I flew. Now,
where's my fiancé? I came to see him." I started searching rooms
rapidly. Lance just stood back and watched, a bit astonished. "Sorry, I
just fed and I'm really hyper. There he is!"
	"Blake! Oh my god, I'm so happy you're here!" We ran to each other,
and I full on kissed him. We were like that for many minutes before Lance
interrupted us.
	"Jayce, I should be getting back to Eric. I'll stop in tomorrow to
help pack some more. I'll see you then."
	"Cool, thanks. Can you lock the door on your way out?" Josh didn't
wait for an answer, and simply attacked my lips. Lance chuckled and left. A
few minutes later Josh pulled back for air and looked into my
eyes. "So... would you like the grand tour of casa de Chases?"
	"Can we skip that and just go to the bedroom?" I picked him up and
we started flying up the stairs.
	"I like the way you think, it's to the right, second door. You
know, you should stop by like this all the time. I like it." We laughed and
spent the rest of the night making love.
