What are We? (LockOn, Ryuki, then Ask)

Chuck lay on a tree branch of a tall tree in a small park overlooking the neighborhood. The breeze held a hopeful warmth in it that gave him a bit of excited creativity. He sat there waiting for Chad while Athena waited as well, lying peacefully on her own branch. The disappearance of Chuck's father along with the strange working patterns of Chad's parents were similar in the fact that both of the boys took school and normal life seriously but at the same time felt as if their powers could be used for something greater.

Chuck had to know if Chad was willing to delve into the past or let it go and continue a normal life. This was encouraged, of course, by Athena who was much more assertive than her former human master and wanted him to not let things slide by as much as he usually did.

Chad wondered what was up with his pal Chuck. They had been super heroes for a little while now so Chad assumed he wanted to talk about what was next for the two of them. Look for more teammates? Kick more ass? Chad had to know. He walked up to his friend and waved.

"Yo, whats up partner?

Bio jumped down from the tree.

"WE think that today would be a good day to investigate all of those suspicions we've been having about your parents, well her suspicions."

Athena remained silent.

"I'm not down for it, because she thinks we should break into STAR labs and hack their databases for our names with her encryptor. You have the car soooo"

Chad winced at their suggestion. Its not like his parents had any connection to his powers or any of the weird stuff that's been going on. He was a little irritated that his parents were being brought into question because of his friends dog.

"I don't like this, plus you wanna break into STAR labs? The security in that place is gonna be tight. Plus I don't like the fact that you guys are bringing MY parents into question."

Chad made no effort to hide the fact he was annoyed.

"I guess I'm the more paranoid one because my Dad is missing. But listen Chad, we can't just sit around in our usual lives and pretend like there's nothing going on with us. You know how that crap works. Sooner or later someone's going to come after us and know everything about us. So I think that's what Athena's trying to get at. Also, she IS usually right when it comes to people, she wouldn't be concerned for nothin."

Bio then grinned.

"And. If we learn more about ourselves, we'll be able to figure out what our powers can actually do."

Chad looked at his friend Bio with uncertainty at first but then he smirked.

"Heh, you always have a way of making me change my mind man, alright we'll do it but we can't get caught man.  That is not an option plus not only would that screw us over, that would put my parents in a bad spot."

Bio nodded and they both got into Circuit's pick up truck deciding to formulate their plan while driving to STAR labs.
