WHAT HAVE I DONE? I wanted the story to move faster.. not slower. pouts Oh well. we'll get there eventually, right? Where you may ask, and I respond.. I'm not sure yet.
Chapter 13.
All across the country the fires of contraversy were ignited. several channels were debating the morality of they boy's comments, and effects in general on the gay community. Many scenesy scenes comparable to the one Kyle experienced were playing out and would yet play out as the footage would continue to be played the next morning and into that evening as well.
But many scenes would not be so pretty.

Jason walked into his aunt's living room, wondering how his mother had taken the news. "I swear, everything on tv is about that boy, and now he does this. I think he just likes to be on tv."
"I doubt it." His aunt defended. Go aunt!! she maybe a little cranky about guys some times, but she was definitely all for the whole gay pride thing.
"I still think he's just parading around and flaunting it."What? No it wasn't. It didn't even look like it. the boy just wanted to let teens know it was ok to feel the way they did. Jason wondered how his mom would react if she knew that he was feeling this way towards Kyle.
Jason shared a quick look with his aunt who looked just as miffed as he was. "And how is that parading it around?" She asked, before Jason could blow up.
"Obviously he just wants attention. Why else would he fly to see some boy who he didn't know, and was just" curious about?" she quoted. When she put it that way, why did a super hero boy have an interest in a random crime by some boy?
Kyle felt better. A lot better. He'd fixed one of the things on his list, even though he was probably adding tons more.
"I guess I should have known." his mother said, interrupting the silence.
"Why? Its not like I ever gave much of a hint." Kyle replied. He'd been pretty careful the way he'd held himself.
"I meant the little things. the way you were always with your guy friends, the way you'd hang near the phone waiting for them to call you back about your latest movie get together. And you were always a little uncomfortable at the swimming pool around your friends." she added.
"oh." He guessed he was. Most of his friends had attractive chests. Well not so attractive now that he had Jason.
"I'm not femmy am I?" Kyle did NOT like femmy kids. In fact, there were lots of gay kids at his school, but a lot of them were the stereotypical ones, as if being gay meant you had to dress like a girl.
"Oh no dear. nothing like that." his mother laughed. Kyle was relieved. "now. I'm sure you know what I want to ask next." She said. Kyle thought. what would she ask? oh no.
"No I don't have a boyfriend." Kyle said before she could say what she was thinking. He wasn't going to tell her about Jason, yet.
"oh. Well that's basically answers my real question, but I was wondering if you'd been active." She asked.
"No." Kyle said truthfully. "I'll be careful, I promise." he replied, squeezing his mother's hand.
"Thank you. I'll get you some protection tommorrow." She said, squeezing back. "But let me just say this. I promise it's not embarrassing. keep Sex special." Kyle blushed. "ok, maybe its a little wierd. But don't just do it with whoever comes along. keep it for the special times.. the special ones. Sex means a lot more, and feels a lot better, when your connected to the person on an emotional level." she said. Whoa. Kyle hadn't expected that.
Apparently she could see it on his face because she continued, "I know you konw about the protection, and the normal health things. I just want you to realize the emotional side of it. ok? So do some deep thinking before you decide to give yourself to your first person." She said. Wow. that was important, wasn't it?
"Thanks mom. I'm going to go and think about things." he said. She nodded in reply and he got up off the bed. **********************
Kyle couldn't get that out of his head. Keep sex special. He'd never really heard it put that way before. had he? He reviewed. Nope. Nobody had really said that, that he could remember. He definitely wanted to keep it special. He wanted sex with someone close to him, someone who loved him as much as he loved them.
Kyle knew he loved Jason.. but did Jaosn feel just as strongly? what if Jason didnt' feel as strong as Kyle did? Kyle would move the earth for the boy, and he might be able too, but what if Jason didnt' feel like that? what then?
Kyle's computer bleeped at him, interrupting his thoughts as he stretched out on his bed. Kyle looked at the screen, notifying him his friend paladin119 was back on. pally!! he'd hvae some good advice now that he'd shown him that he was a real super hero.
Kyelrogue says:
Did you see the news?
Paladin119 says:
yeah I did
Kyelrogue says:
:P
Paladin119 says:
well we either have a reeeally big coincidence here... or I guess you were telling the truth after all
Kyelrogue says:
I'm thinking the second one
Kyelrogue says:
vooshes around room
Paladin119 says:
well, so how was the kid? and would you please stop being in such a rush? you almost knocked over the reporter when you left.
He wasn't in a rush all the time was he? He did fly rather fast... but saying he was in a rush? wait. Wasn't that a name a site had come up with? somthing rush? He could deal with that later.
Kyelrogue says:
he was way sad. I really felt bad for him.
Kyelrogue says:
He felt he was like evil I guess cuz society said he was.. so he wanted to live up to that
Paladin119 says:
eh well... thats society for you
Kyelrogue says:
I wanted to help teens.. so I said what I said...
Kyelrogue says:
do you think it was a bad idea?
Kyle still wasn't sure if it had been a good idea. Now he had someone he could ask.
Paladin119 says:
i thought it was quite the valiant effort on your part
Kyelrogue says:
blushes
Kyle waited, wondering what Pally would say. He sometimes got distracted or took time writing his answers. Kyle turned back to his list of thoughts. He crossed off telling his parents he was gay and turned it to "" telling dad. Im.." That was better. sort of.
Paladin119 says:
and no... reguardless of the outcome... you have inspired many to at least... consider coming out of hiding and be true to their selves and follow their hearts....
Kyelrogue says:
ok.. but I just wanted any hurting teens to feel ok about themselves
Paladin119 says:
this is always a step in the right direction
Kyelrogue says:
I hope nobody gets kicked out.. or hurt, or beaten up because I said this..
Kyelrogue says:
:(
Paladin119 says:
i think you accomplished that today... seeing you as an ally will help reinforce a lot of confidence in teens
Kyelrogue says:
an ally?
Paladin119 says:
a friend... a supporter
Kyelrogue says:
like I'm going to be able to track down every gay basher
Kyelrogue says:
or stupid parent that gets ticked off
Paladin119 says:
its the thought that counts lol
Kyelrogue says:
I hope so
Paladin119 says:
and the possibility that... you might be able to do that
Kyelrogue says:
I don't think the cult people like me much ROFL
Paladin119 says:
might keep some of those homophobes in line even
Speaking of which. Kyle switched back to his explorer to look for more stuff on him. Wow. the extreme sites were definitely firing it up against him. He was now the antichrist, AND he was going to steal souls.
Paladin119 says:
well... you have to be aware that.. while you inspired and helped a lot of gay kids... and adults...for that matter lol
Paladin119 says:
you most likely have also made more enemies
Kyelrogue says:
I know...
Paladin119 says:
and many will see you as an extremely evil influence... and in other words.... trouble
Kyelrogue says:
I know. I told my mom Im gay!!
Kyelrogue says:
she saw the news brief
Kyelrogue says:
and she was ok with it
Kyelrogue says:
she said I was brave.. I mean me on tv
Paladin119 says:
thats great!
Paladin119 says:
you haven't told your parents about your powers have you?
Kyelrogue says:
no...
Paladin119 says:
or anyone else?
Kyelrogue says:
no
Kyelrogue says:
wiat
Kyelrogue says:
I did tell my one internet friedn.. but Im not sure if he believed me
Paladin119 says:
you should tell someone you trust... it helps to have a friend there for you...
Kyelrogue says:
I told you
Paladin119 says:
in real life i mean
Kyelrogue says:
I guess so
Paladin119 says:
i can't be there for you
Kyelrogue says:
technically I could come to you so there
Paladin119 says:
lol i guess so
Paladin119 says:
still... im not in your home town, thats what i meant
Paladin119 says:
someone you can see on a daily basis...without having to fly across the country lol
Paladin119 says:
theres a reason why most of the fictional super heroes have one or two friends that know the truth...
Kyelrogue says:
so they can lie for him !! laughs maniacally
Paladin119 says:
well... at times... sure
Paladin119 says:
it pays off
Kyelrogue says:
yeah, not just for that.. I know I know.
Paladin119 says:
you sounded pretty sure about that boy....what was his name.... Jason?
Kyelrogue says:
yes
Paladin119 says:
i think you should give him a try
Kyelrogue says:
sighs
Paladin119 says:
besides.... if you two are really seriously together... he deserves to know
Kyelrogue says:
I know.. I just don't know how to tell him. and what if it does more bad than good?
Paladin119 says:
what if it does more good than bad?
Kyelrogue says:
then its fine..
Paladin119 says:
life is risk
Kyle liked having someone to talk to. This was good. Doing it this way kept Pally from knowing who he was exactly, and yet he could get advice. But he didn't know how to tell Jason. How does one just say.. " guess what? I have super powers?" Too many things going on in his life. the stupid dream.. Wait!! he could tell Pally bout his dream!!
Kyelrogue says:
Hey.. I wanna run something by you. I have this recurring dream.. where Im in a field
Paladin119 says:
ok... tell me more
Kyelrogue says:
and like I get this idea I have to protect something
Kyelrogue says:
and the second time.. this HUGE ass light is coming from the sky.
Paladin119 says:
well... how real does the dream feel?
Kyle had to think aobut that for a moment. how did it feel? it was definitely not as incoherent as normal dreams.
Kyelrogue says:
different from normal dreams. it does seem real.
Paladin119 says:
well
Paladin119 says:
its quite possible your powers extend beyond the obvious
Paladin119 says:
or they are growing
Kyelrogue says:
I know how far I can go btw.
Paladin119 says:
it might possibly be some type of psychic ability
Kyelrogue says:
I can go out.. about a good 2 hours of FAST flying
Kyelrogue says:
into space
Kyelrogue says:
its quite pretty...
Kyelrogue says:
nothing like those boring shots of the earth from the moon
Paladin119 says:
you can breathe out there?
Kyelrogue says:
um.. I don't really NEED too
Kyelrogue says:
its the um.. aura
Paladin119 says:
well... be careful when your out there... space is very serious lol
Kyelrogue says:
how can you say that its serious then laugh?
Paladin119 says:
because its that serious
Paladin119 says:
the really really serious stuff... you can laugh about... a little
Kyelrogue says:
only you can...
Paladin119 says:
but only a little
Paladin119 says:
nah not just me
Kyelrogue says:
k
Paladin119 says:
well anyway
Paladin119 says:
back to your dream
Paladin119 says:
you say you see something up in the sky?
Kyelrogue says:
yeah.
Kyelrogue says:
so I decided to fly outward.. see if I could see anything..
Kyelrogue says:
not much to see.. just stars..
Paladin119 says:
well keep in mind,... whatever type of vision this is... it may be past tense... it might have been something that already happened or it may be something very far off in the future... theres no real way of telling without more information
Kyelrogue says:
I know
Paladin119 says:
you said the sky goes dark?
Kyelrogue says:
right. well its night time anyway.. and the stars go out as if something is blocking the light I guess
Kyelrogue says:
and a voice keeps telling me to protect
Paladin119 says:
it could be something solar related...
Paladin119 says:
or like you said... something is blocking the sun and stars
Kyelrogue says:
then woudn't the sun be involved? its NIGHT TIME
Kyelrogue says:
in my dream
Paladin119 says:
it may not "really" be night...in your dreams
Kyelrogue says:
well it sure well looked like it
Paladin119 says:
if something is large enough to block the stars... it would most likely be large enough to block the sun
Paladin119 says:
and give a good impression of night
Kyelrogue says:
w/e
Kyelrogue says:
I just wish I knew if it was important or if my mind is just being wierd
Paladin119 says:
well if its reocurring
Paladin119 says:
it probably is important
Paladin119 says:
are you afraid....in your dreams?
Paladin119 says:
how do you feel?
Kyelrogue says:
just confused and angry
Kyelrogue says:
it won't tell me what it wants me todo
And that was a problem. How was he supposed to protect, if he didn't know what? or was it kind of a general human race thing? If it was some save the environment he wasn't sure he could handle that.
Paladin119 says:
try to stay calm in this dream... emotions tend to wake you up...
Kyelrogue says:
hmm
Kyelrogue says:
maybe I will
Paladin119 says:
and try doing different things.... look around etc. whatever it is your doing so far in this dream obviously isn't working for you
Paladin119 says:
so try something different...if you can
Kyelrogue says:
ok
Kyelrogue says:
well thanks..
Paladin119 says:
i don't know how interactive it is though lol
Kyelrogue says:
I'm going to go now
Paladin119 says:
ok
Paladin119 says:
no problem
Kyelrogue says:
its getting late.. and I need sleep.
Paladin119 says:
hope i helped
Kyelrogue says:
i hope you did too
Paladin119 says:
lol
Kyelrogue says:
I'll try something in my dream
Paladin119 says:
well ill take that as a compliment
Kyelrogue says:
when if it happens again
Paladin119 says:
good
Kyelrogue says:
bye
Paladin119 says:
pleasent dreams Kyle
Kyle logged off, then pulled up his list of things to think about. He hadn't even really fixed any of them. they just ikept getting more confusing. he scanned it.. name? oh yeah. name. what had pally said? rush? He WAS in a rush a lot of the time.. maybe he could use that.. blue Rush? blue was kinda obvious. and it sounded like a sport drink or something. what else? aqua? Aqua rush? no.. he wasn't water related.. even if his color looked like it. Maybe he shouldn't go with colors.
what else? Kyle read back over his conversation with pally, trying to remember everything they'd said. Paladin was great for emotional advice. "well, so how was the kid? and would you please stop being in such a rush?"
Kid ... Rush. Kid Rush? Kyle kinda liked that. Kid Rush. hmm. Kid Rush....
888888888888888888
to be continued. what will happen next? will Kyle finally pick a name? Will Jason find a way to tell his mom? find out next time on hero in love!! insert cheesy ending theme music
