It was spirit week at Riverwood High, however it didn't really feel that way to Danny. While the week was busy and he was exciting, it seemed like everything was going on all at once. However he was preoccupied by what happened on Monday night. Walking into the lunchroom that day, he decided to ask about Kasey. At least Adam might know something he thought as he sat own at the usual table.
"Sam any news what VT's doing with the stuff from the lab that was destroyed"
"Not entirely sure, but I know they're gonna moving it to the old warehouse soon" Sam replied
danny thought for a second then gave a small nod.
a few minutes later Danny asked the one question that had been on his mind
"So anyone heard from Kasey lately"
"Give it a rest Danny, she's fine! just wants to be alone " Adam responded coldly
"Oh yeah, alone, and with you?"
"Ok, I don't know what your problem is trying to win her over, but I can take care of it, stop worrying about my girlfriend"
Now I think I understand why Kasey's always mad with Kate
"She's still my friend, and what happened on Monday was-scary, I'm trying to check on my friend"
"Oh yeah, you were there weren't you, and what exactly happened? 'cause she said you "dipped", and now HER DAD IS IN A COMA. do you understand how that's affecting her"
Danny was losing his cool "Yes I was there, not you, and I DID see what happened. Sure maybe I don;t know EXACTLY how she feels, but I've known her my almost whole life, and I know how CLOSE her and her dad are. OH, also DID YOU FORGET MY DAD HAS BEEN MISSING FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS! SO MAYBE I DO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT IT'S LIKE" He replied as he slammed his fist on the table, he felt strange burst of energy, creating a loud thud. Everyone at the table was speechless everyone was staring at him.
"calm down you two" Kate said quietly she was really a little scared of what'd just happened, not expecting Danny to get so angry.
"Leave me alone" he scowled quietly as he got up grabbing his lunchbox and walked away and out of the lunchroom.
"I'm can't even deal with Danny on a good day, I'm not sticking around to hear him come back and complain " Sam said "If you need me I'll be over with the guys and Fallon" and strode away to a circular table across the lunchroom where his friends were.
Danny really wasn't sure where he was gong, he just needed to cool his head. What'd I do that for? I'm not trying to compete with Adam, I just know she doesn't really have anyone else who knows what happened. I don't have my daggers on me how'd I even punch the table that hard. He ended up at his locker to double check, his backpack and sighed. As he was walking back, he realized that the bell was about to ring and the lunchroom was letting out, he ended up making eye contact with Kate, who caught up with him.
"You were really fired up back there, anything you wanna talk about"
"I I don't know, I guess i'm just scared, and angry or something" he paused to figure out what to say "With everything that's happened in the last two months I guess I've just been so overwhelmed and now something similar is happening with Kasey, And I just feel like I should be doing something but Adam's right there isn't really much I can do."
"I see, you still haven't gotten over your dad's disappearance have you"
"I guess not really, everything's been moving so fast, I guess I never realized how much it's been impacting me"
"Well I gotta get to class, if you need to talk or anything, just let me know" turning back Kate added "Hey I'm having a party Saturday, before hoco, you can come if you want"
"maybe I will" he replied waving back at her as he headed to his next class
VIPER TECH HQ 12:00 PM
"So Silas, any footage or clues as to who these vigilantes are" Mr. Lane asked intently
"No, There's no footage, all we know is there's a girl, two guys, and that 'viper guy' who showed up when you left"
"oh?"
"Yeah Nina and him came in for backup, she says he knew about the VT incident and the storage warehouse at the docks. why d'you care so much?"
"Because they're ruining my company, my work, and you have no leads, how can you have nothing!"
"They're just highschool kids, you're seriously going after them, do you seriously want to round up a bunch of highschoolers?" Silas replied angrily "you possibly just started an interdimesional war of some sort, but you care more about finding some vigilantes, all because they're 'bad for business'"
"yes! Exactly If you can't do your job i'll have someone else do it! Maybe i'll have to recruit some of my own vigilantes"
trying to change Lane's perspective Stone asked"And if your son is one of them, one of these vigilantes?"
"IF MY SON who's under 24/7 surveillance at home tried something I'd know. IF he somehow is then yes, I'd still want him gone, it's not different, and hed be defying me. I understand maybe you're playing a long game, but I'm going to make sure they get found sooner rather than later"
