Fire and Flames

The next day I got up early and went to the office to see Betty I hugged her.

"Hey it's been awhile" I say she had sun glasses on
"Yeah can you turn the light off?" She asks me

I give her a confused look but I listen and turn the light off. "Thanks" she says taking her sunglasses off

"What's wrong?" I ask her

"Oh those headaches I was getting I found out they are triggered by light the brighter the light the more it hurts I'm guessing it's a side effect" Betty says

"Like jugs is his loss of hearing but I wondering if Archie has a side effect" I say

"I guess we'll have to wait and see and Jughead hearing thoughts never thought of that one" she says smiling

"What are we gonna do betts Percival is turning people against us he can't just by speaking to him" I say

"I hear he's gotten a interest in you" Betty says

"A weird one yeah" I mumble

I head to the town hall meeting that's being held

"The sheriffs department is pleased to announce that the town census is complete and the people of riverdale have spoken. And since the un-house problem have been dealt with their main source of anxiety is the ongoing gang warfare between the serpents and the ghoulies" Percival says and Toni and I give each other a look while everyone starts mumbling to each other

"Ms topaz, since your a member of the council of five and the serpent queen and ms lodge since your also a member of the council of five and the serpent queens right hand what do you two have to say about that?" Percival asks

"Well to begin with there is no war between the serpents and the ghoulies actuallt I've been in constant contact with the ghoulies leader Twyla Twyst in efforts to de escalate tension and I believe we're very close to declaring cease fire" Toni says

I look over to see fangs and sweet pea glaring at Percival

"And we've made sure Avery is no where near this because of the baby" Toni adds and I give her a small smile

"Well I wonder have you considered disbanding the serpents?" Percival asks and I growl

"Hell no" I growl and Toni puts her hand on my arm and sweet pea stands up

"Ok if I could just interject here ms topaz is not on trial neither is ms lodge your point has been noted mr Pickens now let's please move on to the next item on our agenda" tab says and fangs pulls sweet pea down

After the meeting me fangs sweets and Toni talk

"What the hell was that" fangs growls

"An ambush" Toni says

"Even the thought of disbanding the serpents" sweet says and scoffs

"Percival went after the folks in sketch alley and now he's coming after us" Toni says

"Hey, Toni fangs sweet pea Avery" kev says walking in with baby Anthony

"Oh hey prince" Toni giggles

"Hi" kev says as Toni takes the baby.

"How's my baby boy doing" Toni asks Anthony

"Yeah he's great he's great I'm bummed to let him go nervous given everything going on" kev says

"Oh don't be" Toni says

"I gotta be honest I'm having second thoughts about baby Anthony being raised around gang culture" kev says and I look at sweet pea who has his arm around my waist
