Hartley stopped in the middle of opening the gym door when he heard his name called. He turned and grimaced.
Crap. The spaz. Hartley glanced around quickly to see if there were any football players in the vicinity. Nope, not this time. However...
"OH. MY. GOD."
Lisa, finishing with ice skating practice, burst out of the gym just as Hartley was about to enter it looking for her.
"You would NOT believe the gossip Mary is spouting off about last night! Where is Chris? I need to make sure he wasn't at that party!"

Billy saw Hartley turn and see him, and admittedly he did look hesitant about him, and understandably so, he supposed. Still, if Billy was going to do this, he had to make the effort and if that meant making the first move, so be it.
Billy jogged up toward the gymnasium and called out Hartley's name again, when Hartley was cornered by a blond girl who had an air of authority about her.
"Hart...oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt."

" Ian you're so smart.."
Cassie smiled.. Ian was totally her type. Hot as hell, smart, sophisticated, and totally had style. What did she ever see in Chris anyways? The group came to the burned down building.
"Chris is probably already here.. Let's check around for any clues."
Cassie texted Chris.. 'We're here.. where are you at?'

Oh, hell, he was coming right over here. Hartley thought about what Dr. Quinzel told him...that he had to learn to enjoy himself. That, for one day, he had a pass to do what he wanted without recrimination from the teachers.
He wasn't ready; he didn't have a plan for revenge on the spaz yet. Lisa looked at the two of them, her hands on her hips and let out an annoyed sigh.
"HARTley, you can talk to your BOYfriend LATer, right now we need to find CHRIS!"
Gaahhh! The thought that ANYONE associated him with the spaz like that was enough to send Hartley over the edge!
"THAT...is not my boyfriend, I wouldn't want to be within a ten mile radius of that if I had any sort of choice, Lisa! I'd make out with Agatha Harkness first!"
Lisa rolled her eyes.
"WhatEVER, I do not CARE. Just find Chris, he's supposed to meet Len tonight at dinner."
"Oh....about that. Len and everyone who was at the party have double detention, so he can't make it."
Lisa's face turned bright red. Oh man, was she angry. Hartley even backed up a few steps. Thank God she didn't have any actual super-powers besides her skating skills...
"WHY...IS...EVERYONE...ALWAYS...RUINING MY LIFE!!!!!!!"
Lisa grabbed the nearest thing and started shaking it like a polaroid picture. Unfortunately, the nearest thing happened to be Billy.

*He was down in the basement...with the goon squad. Chris woke up, tied to a support beam. He looked around and saw four guys in masks staring him.*
Now, we don't wanna hurtcha kid. So why don't youze tellz us what da Boss wants ta know?
And what's that?
Why didja come snooping about?
...
*Goon #3 sunk his fist into Chris's gut. He cried out in pain. He went to armor up and nothing happened. The amulet...it was gone! He saw it on the floor with the chain it was attached to broken. Uh oh...that was not good.*

Dani Rolled her eyes and walked in front of the pair.
"The basement is were it all went down. We should check there first."
Ian Nodded. "I have to get something form the Car. I'll meet you lovely ladies inside."
"Yeah Whatever, Lets go Cass." She takes Cassie aways form Ian's... Infuence.
The finally make it to the basement. but none of the equipment is there...Instead it's been replace by junk to look like any other basement.
"What?! This is all wrong! Where are the tables and the electric generator?!"
Dani then scrambles through another door to find Chris hanging and being Beaten up!

Billy frowned at Hartley's response to Lisa and was about to offer a scathing retort when he was suddenly grabbed by his arms and Lisa started shaking him wildly in her vast frustrations.
"H-H-Hey! W-W-What do y-y-y-y-you think-k you-re d-d-d-oing!? S-ST-TOP!!!"
It seemed however that Lisa had no intention of doing so and Billy suddenly vanished from her grip, causing her to lose her balance and she toppled forward and she landed with a loud splat in a rather large mud puddle, totally ruining her outfit.
Billy reappeared behind Hartley and he whispered to him as Lisa started to rise, the smoke practically emanating from her ears.
"Look, I know you hate me but might I suggest a strategic retreat?"

Lisa or the spaz?
Hartley suddenly remembered that Lisa had within her hand's reach a pair of ice skates with razor-sharp blades on them, and that cinched his decision.
"Yeah. Let's bounce."

Cassie looked back at Ian but thought nothing of it. She followed Dani and found Chris.. Oh my god..
" Chris!"
Cassie flew in there to get Chris. Two of the goons attacked her only to end up meeting the pavement.
"Dani get Chris outta here."

Bounce bounce pause and swoosh. Bounce bounce pause and swoosh. There was something comforting about the pattern of repeating shots. Bounce bounce pause and swoosh. Line up the shot and take it, then watch it come back down and repeat. After breakfast with Billy, Teddy had gone to the gym to practice basketball, just take some shots and think about whatever on his mind. That, currently, was Billy and Hartley. He liked both boys, for different reasons obviously, and it was a nuisance that the two didn't get along.
Bounce bounce pause and swoosh. In fact, he felt bad for Hartley when it all came down to it. Sure, he was meaner to Billy than Billy was to him, but Billy had something he didn't. Billy had a boyfriend. No matter how terrible his day was, he could come home to Teddy, and Teddy would do anything to make him happy. If someone picked on Billy, Teddy would remind them why they shouldn't with a little brute force.
If Hartley's day was terrible, Hartley couldn't come home to anyone. He was just...his own comforter. If he got picked on, nobody stood up for him. Some of the jocks avoided Billy entirely now because they'd met with Teddy's fists too many times. Maybe Hartley needed someone? But who...
Teddy frowned, taking another shot, and he heard the sound of voices outside the gym door. He headed over, opening it just in time to see Lisa take a fall, face first into a puddle of mud. And there were Billy and Hartley, watching it happen. "Hey...guys..."

"You don't have to tell me twice!"
Dani went all Shark and spikey as she jumped on the back of Goon #3 flipping in the air she slashed Chris's Binds holding him to her as the landed. Hard... Again.
"Ouf! Sorry!" She landed with a thud on her back. But quickly got up!
"You Alright?"

Hartley Rathaway Lisa or the spaz?
Hartley suddenly remembered that Lisa had within her hand's reach a pair of ice skates with razor-sharp blades on them, and that cinched his decision."Yeah. Let's bounce."
"Okay, hold on and whatever you do, don't wet yourself!"
Billy closed his eyes and summoned the magic for the one spell he did have down pat. A flat disc of blue energy appeared under his and Hartley's feet and it rose up off of the ground and it sailed out of range, just as Lisa's skate sailed under it, where the boys would have been!
They sailed across the campus and Billy looked at Hartley.
"You okay?"

Cassie grabbed the amulet from the floor and looked at Chris.
"We gotta get you to a doctor.."
She grabbbed Chris and Dani and flew outside looking for Ian.

"We have to go back, I left my stomach somewhere on top of the science building."
This was getting to be a bad habit. Hartley swore to himself to never go flying outside of an airplane again.
He looked around. The two boys were alone now. Hartley didn't like it.
"Look. If you're trying to get me to apologize for yesterday, forget it. I got it far worse than you did, so just buck up and stop being such a spaz. You stood there like a brick wall gaping at Karen's chest and I didn't do anything but elbow past you to get some food. Learn how to be aware of the world around you."
Hartley was working himself up. He was angry again, remembering what happened yesterday.
"It's bad enough I already had half the football team pissed at me for causing Achilles to leave before the playoffs, but now I have Cargill on my bad side, and that means the whole football team except Len Snart consider me a target now. Before they didn't even know I existed, and I was happy that way!"
