Maks gasped in realization. They saw helicopter spun across the sky smoking. He saw her struggling and holding on to the tail. A man with a gun aimed at her. Artemis let go and The helicopter diverted. She tumbled off. Her first thought was, somebody save me. Her breath was becoming shallow but she increased to the size of a tank splashing into the water. Artemis sank beyond the murky black smokey water. She shrank back to size, "I did it." She said but she watched the chopper flying off without anyone to stop them. She slapped the water after her failed attempt again and a boat arrived. She sank deeper and swam away. Maks hardened at the board leaving. He was impressed that she obtained that kind of feat. Darragh got rid of Metallie and he watched the chopper spinning. It exploded and he squinted his eyes. "You ever wonder if Ghost faked his death so he can get insurance money?" Artemis frowned at the fiasco on the sea. She barely had her own against the grown men but she th

Dr Brendan entered and he quirked an eyebrow. "Who are you?""Maks Anderson."He faced Sam. "Stan, will you please leave my office?""I feel better, Mr Brendan, I'll see you later.""Are you friends with Mr Flair?""Um, yeah, we're pals. Kind of." He said and he pursed his lips. They fist bumped and Sam left giving Maks a concerned look."Interesting..." Dr Brendan already began to write down notes. Maks stiffened at what he was up to."You can talk to me anytime you please, today, as I don't have much time. Maks. How was your day?" He asked settling back.He wondered if Sam mentioned him. "Good." He motioned to the chair and sat uneasily.Dr Brendan grabbed a few cards from the table. "I'm going to give your a test. Is that okay with you?""Yeah, whatever.""I'm going to need you to be very honest with me. Is that okay?""Mmm hmm." He turned red at the inkblot tests. "Let me ask you a question? As a child, did you have these little spurts of anger? Like rolling your eyes...breaking

He cupped his chin writing down what the coach needed. Just the prospect of going for the playoffs made his heart race. Ding! He gazed at a picture attachment she sent in endearment and suspicion wondering if she was talking about him to her friends right now. How boring he was. That certainly made him insecure but she always kept him guessing. The fact that she was nice to him with his homework and gave him some personal space to finish up.She was bored of staying indoors anyways. It had only been months since they started dating. He didn't want to look needy. Dr. Brendan just asked him to act confident all the time. Ding!His breathing shallowed at Harley's message. “We need to talk, I haven’t been fully honest with you.”......He wondered for minutes, minutes felt like hours, what on earth she was texting to him. He was waiting for the typing dots to become a message, with how long she was typing, it was sure to be one lengthy message! [ Oh my god. She does this everytime. ] He

The fact that Sam came out of the blue to mention this was disastrous. What if he failed? The only difference between them was that Sam could not control his literal demon. Maks could control his instincts but he couldn't control his anger. He just let the beast inside wreak havoc. Doreen called."Maks...""Dora, hi.""I just got back from work. I called to ask after you.""That's fine, I appreciate that. I was wondering about you too. I hope Annie and Bernie are doing okay." "Annie and Bernie? They're gonna love that. Oh they're fine. Mom got emotional and she decided today that she's redecorating your room." He turned frantic, clutching his head, he wondered if she would find that sultry drawing of Harley he had in her locker. "Oh my god, no.""She says she found some interesting things in your locker. I wonder what it is. Can you give me a hint?" She asked."No, the usual, the ashtray. I just don't like her touching my stuff.""Ah, she seemed pretty excited. It's not like it

[ Who are you!? ] He thought with round eyes. "We can go somewhere else instead of sitting out butts down here." She said with determination getting up. He picked up his shoes."I also thought finding these would help cheer you up about your hognose snake. They're not that great but it's the least I can do. In case you were wondering." He said guilty for not being the most mysterious guy in the room. He wanted to be direct with her.She held his hands. "You remembered?" He nodded. "Yeah, is that bad?"They locked hands and Harley's fingers crossed behind her. He smirked at that and she caught him staring at her behind. She smirkedShe looked stunned when he tossed her the keys. "How about you prove you can ride this?...I'm feeling kind of sick." He touched his stomach."Sure, you underestimate me Maks." She said taking his gear. "My mom thought learning to ride a Harley would be funny." She said and they laughed."Same." He said blushing. "Boy did she laugh when I couldn't do arches
