Chapter 3 - Chapter Three.

Sally Bit Her Bottom Lip Nervously before she stepped off The City bus, she stopped

Walking mere inches away from the front

Door. 'What If Dad Is angry that My First Relationship Is with a woman...?' Sally thought to herself, she Inhaled and exhaled before opening the front door. Sitting on the

Living Room couch was James, he wore a

Sleeveless Light Blue T-shirt and dark blue Jeans. His expression was Unreadable

"I'm...Home Dad..." Sally said, Her Voice

Radiated Nervousness. Instead of Him saying anything like, "Welcome back" or "How was school today?" He decided to say

"Were you ever going to tell me and your Mother?" James's Voice was Neutral,

Not giving anything away. "I-I did..."

"Yeah, In a Text" James replied, "I was not

Sure how you and Mom would react...."

James's eyes flickered over to Sally,

"Did You think that we would react Violently?"

Sally Looked taken back by James's Question, "Of course Not!" She said,

James sighed as he stood up. He turned

His body around to Face Sally, "Good, Because we wouldn't have....But Layla seemed to have accepted your Life style....

I'm not sure If I ever will..." Sally's heart was

Shattered, With that being said, James walked past her. Sally's eyes slowly Flickered

Opened as she sat up, Her eyes flickered over to the right, a gentle, soft smile played

Upon her Lips as she saw Daniel laying his

Head on the hospital Bed that she was In

She gently ran her fingers through his Long

Shaggy hair, he stirred but otherwise remained asleep. She could still remember

The first time she met Daniel, On the Farm

The sun was shining and There was not a

Single Cloud In sight. Sally was Inside the

Barn cleaning out one of the Horses stalls

When something or someone fell through the

Roof, The Loud noise had startled the horses

Even the horse that was In the stall that Sally was Cleaning, she Quickly took a step back

Sally heard a soft, Pained Groan. Laying on

The ground was a young man with short Light brown hair and Piercing Green eyes

Blood coated the young man, his right arm

Looked to be completely broken. His Bottom

Lip was Split Opened, his right eye was swollen. He had been shirtless, his Left Leg

Was Broken. Sally had wasted no time In

Rushing to him, "What happened to you?!"

"I-I was fighting a supervillain called Battle Wolf, I didn't think that he'd be so strong, I Lost" The young man replied, "You're a Hero?" The Young man nodded before he

Groaned In Pain, "I'll be right back! I'm going to get my mom and Dad!" She told Daniel,

"O-Okay" he replied, and Sally Had Rushed

Off. He groaned In Pain as he managed to

Stand up, "Fuck" The Young man Mumbled,

Soon enough, Here comes Sally, Her mom and Dad. "Who are you, If You don't mind me asking?" James asked, "N-Name's...Daniel"

"That's your secret Identity?" Layla asked,

"Y-Yeah, There's no Point In trying to hide

It when I no Longer have my Mask" he replied, "Let's get you Inside the house"

Once Inside the house, James and Layla

Helped Daniel to sit down on the couch.

He winced, "This...Battle Wolf must Have

Been Quite the Opponent, In order to have

Injured you Like this" Layla said, "He was

I didn't think that He'd be so strong...."

James Grabbed Daniel's right arm, "This Is

Going to hurt..." James Warned, "I-I Know

I'm...Ready" Daniel said as he took a deep

Breath. James attempted to reset Daniel's

Right arm as Painless as Possible, Daniel did

Not scream but he did Let Out a Pained Groan. "Thank You" Daniel Thanked James,

"Don't thank me yet, There's still Your Leg"

"....Right...." James Grabbed Ahold of Daniel's right Leg, "Sally, do you have something for Daniel to Bite down on?"

"Maybe... I'll be right back" Sally Told Layla,

Sally soon walked back Into the Living Room

Holding her hairbrush with a Light Blue Handle. "Here" Sally said as she handed Layla, her hairbrush. "Open your mouth"

Daniel opened his Mouth, Layla put the Hairbrush handle In Daniel's mouth.

Daniel Bit down on the Handle as James

Resetted His right Leg, Daniel broke It

With No Effort. "Thanks...and I'm sorry about

Your Hairbrush" Daniel thanked James and he apologized to Sally. "Don't worry about It

I'm Sally!" Sally Introduced herself, "I'm James" James went Next, "And I'm Layla"

Daniel stood up as he stretched, "It's Nice to meet Each of You, But I should go"

"Wait! Your not entirely Healed yet" James told Daniel, "Even so...I can't sit by and do

Nothing while Battle Wolf Is Out There"

"...I don't think Battle Wolf Is In the City anymore" Layla told Daniel, he tilted his head In Confusion. "What do you mean?"

Layla tilted her head toward the TV In the

Living Room, his eyes Flickered toward the

TV. "Battle Wolf seemed to have Vanished

After his battle with the Immovable!"

"....what....?" Daniel said, "It would seem

That after he punched you out of the city

He left" James told Daniel, "It would seem so..." Daniel replied, The tone In his Voice Had suggested that he was still Confused.

"Why... don't you stay here? At Least for a little while?" Sally asked, She's not sure

What Possessed her to say that...."My mom

And Dad would be wondering where I am..."

"You can still visit them, Of Course! Just... I'd feel more comfortable If you stayed here until

You were completely healed" Sally said,

"I Guess that I could..." Daniel replied,

Sally Grinned as she said, "Great!" Ever since that day, Daniel and Sally had been

Inseparable. Daniel's eyes had flickered Opened before he sat up to Yawn, his eyes

Widen as he realized that Sally was awake

"Sally!" Daniel said as he stood up from the

Chair, he leaned down to Gently wrap his

Arms around her. Sally could feel Daniel's

Tears soaking Into Her Light Blue Hospital

Gown, "I-I was so scared that I was going to

Lose you, Y-You Were out for two days!"

Sally gently pat his muscular Back as she

Whispered Into his right ear, "It's Alright, I'm okay, I'm not going to Leave You, I'm sorry

That I scared you" he gently pulled back

Before standing up straight, he wiped at

His eyes. "I-It wasn't your Fault, You Overheated yourself..." He replied, "I had a Heatstroke?" She asked, "Y-Yeah..."

"And...did I arrive here In the Ambulance or

Did you fly me here?" Sally Asked, "I flew

You here, It was Quicker" he replied,

"Thank You" Sally told Daniel, "No need to thank me" He replied, 

a Gentle Smile played Upon Sally's Lips before It Vanished, "Are you Alright?" Daniel asked, she had nodded but Her mind was elsewhere. 'How would He React If I told him that...I Liked women?' she had thought to herself, his eyebrows furrowed in concern before he told her, "I Know you well enough to tell when something Is Bothering you, what is It?" Sally Bit her Bottom Lip Before Replying, "I'm Not sure how You're going to React...." Daniel Had tilted his Head to the right as he Replied, "There Is Nothing that you could tell me that would make me React Badly or to think Less of you" Sally Inhaled and Exhaled as she told Him, "I....am a... Lesbian" she closed her eyes as she awaited his Reaction

What she had no expected however was him to Laugh, her eyebrows Furrowed in Confusion. "Is that the only thing that you wanted to tell me?" sally nodded, "Oh, well...I already knew" he told her, "What?!" Sally said, her Voice Portraying Shock. "You were Never any good at Hiding your Attraction to other women" Sally Blushed as she asked, "And... You Don't Care?" Daniel shook his Head, "No, why should I? You Love who you Love" He replied. her eyes welled up with Tears, "did I Say something wrong?!" sally Shook her head as she replied, "N-No, You Didn't do anything wrong" She wiped away the tears that managed to escape her 

eyes, "Did someone not approve...?" Daniel asked. "I Guess you can say that..." sally whispered, "Who was-" Daniel Cut himself off as he thought back around Two days ago, about how James did not entirely know how her college was going despite being her father. "James had been the one who did not approve...." Her eyes widen with shock, "How did you know that?" She asked, "Because, I Thought back to When we sat at the Kitchen Table around two days ago, eating Breakfast. I Thought that It had been odd that James did not entirely know about how your college was going despite being your father, Now It made sense. It's Because you stopped telling him" Sally Could Not Believe that Daniel Had 

managed to Piece that together, another thought had occurred to her.... Her college! She Had missed two days of classes! Almost as if Sensing what Sally was thinking, Daniel was Quick to Reassure her that James and Layla Quickly Called her college Campus to Tell them about what Happened, Sally Had Let Out a Breath of Relief. "Speaking of my mom and dad...Where are they?" Sally asked, "They had told me that They had some work to finish up around the Farm Before coming here...But that had been two Days ago..." Daniel replied, Before Sally Could Reply to Daniel. The door to Sally's Hospital Room Swung Open, In Stepped James....But His Right Arm Had been Broken and His Right Eye Looked as though it was about to Fall Out, Claw marks were on 

his chest, His Left hand was to his throat.... Stopping what Looked to Be Blood from Flying out from his Throat. "S-Sally, I-I'm So Sorry That I Had Not always been the father that you Deserved, I-I'm so Sorry that I Told you That I Wasn't Sure If I'd Be able to accept your Lifestyle, I-I Don't Accept Your Lifestyle But I Love you Sally, D-Don't Ever Forget that" James Had Said before Collapsing Onto the Floor. "Dad!" Sally Cried, "James!" Daniel had Said. Later That Night...a Feminine Doctor with Medium Length Violet Hair and Violet eyes had Walked into Sally's Hospital Room, Her expression was one of sadness. Sally Was Cuddling into Daniel Who Was laying On the Hospital Bed right Beside her, "Sally, Daniel" The Doctor said, announcing her Presence, Sally and Daniel's Eyes flickered upward to meet the Doctor's, "We Had Done Everything that we could to save James....But I'm afraid

that It wasn't enough.... He's gone" With that, The Doctor turned around to walk out of The Hospital Room. Sally Turned Her entire Body to sob Into Daniel's Light Green Shirt, Daniel Swore that when he finds the man or woman responsible for Killing James and Possibly Layla, there will Be Hell to Pay!
