Chapter 29
Jonah Black is on the Lamb
Once again, no dreams. This bed is amazingly comfortable, or at least it was. Until the large
obstruction known as the Lee Cow fell out of the sky and onto my sleeping form.
"Ah!" I yell, then throw Lee off the bed, "Must you always jump on me while I'm sleeping?"
"Must you always poke and prod me with a pole while I'm sleeping?" he asks.
"Touché"
"Wait, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" I ask, remembering I'm not in Boulder.
"Well, your creepy friends in the capes did something and opened a scary black hole in the wall
and pushed us in. Next thing you know poof, we're here. We found your house and decided to let
you sleep in. Though we have to be in school in about two hours." says Lee.
"Us?"
"Yeah M-" he begins to say but is cut off by the sound of Megan screaming.
"Wee!" she says and jumps on top of me.
"Ow, oh that 'us'." I say.
"Hey dude, this bed's pretty comfortable!" says Megan cheerfully.
"Yeah thanks, now please get off of me." I try to say because she is laying on my face.
She rolls off and I stand up, "Now what is this I hear about school?"
"Following señor man-in-cape's orders, go to school. Blend in. Do NOT beat anyone up, student
or staff. He was very clear on that last one." says Lee.
"Well what about EMT's?" I ask.
"He didn't say anything about that, but none of those either. Basically don't draw attention to
yourself." says Lee.
"Wow he's giving me a really short leash." I say.
"Well normal people don't need that short of a leash, but being psychotic, violent, and
easily angered you do." he says.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh and he wants a nighttime patrol every night of the week." says Megan.
"And that." Lee agrees.
"Fine, I'll go to school. But I'm going to take a shower and stuff first." I say then walk across
the hall into the bathroom. "hm, clothes..."
I walk out of the bathroom and head upstairs to what I imagine was Xavier's room. This room had
two windows, one above the bed at the far end and one above the stairs where I had just walked up.
There is a dresser on the left side wall with a few knives and things on top, but otherwise the
room was spotless and empty. I find the closet and look through his clothes, he's about my size
so I grab a black T-shirt and a pair of jeans then walk back to the bathroom.
I shower and eat some breakfast then walk to the living room to sit with Megan and Lee. Lee is
watching Phineas and Ferb on the T.V. and Megan was on a laptop laying down on the smaller couch.
"So have you guys come up with a pseudonym for yourselves yet?" I ask.
"For us and you." says Megan.
"Okay then what are they?" I ask.
"I'm Kevin Oliver White." says Lee.
"I'm Bridget Marie White and you are Jack Matthew Baker. Lee and I are twins, and you are our friend
who came to live with us after your parents died in a fire. We just moved here from Norfolk, Virginia
because our parents found work here." says Megan.
"Isn't that dangerous? People might recognize me." I say.
"I have a solution for that. We have to dye our hair and put in colored contacts." says Megan.
"Oh no, no no no no." I say.
"Yes, we need to be unrecognizable. Don't worry, it's just going to be brown. I'm supposed to be Lee's
twin so I have to dye mine blond and make my eyes blue. so let's get to it."
One hour later, me and Megan are entirely different people. Megan and Lee are now both blonds with blue eyes while I, now have brown hair and brown eyes. But for some reason my blue highlights have come through so I still have those. Also, against all protests, Megan had trimmed half an inch off my hair.
"Okay I look stupid, now what do we do?" I say.
"You look fine princess, we have fifteen minutes until school so we should start walking I guess." Lee
says.
"Wait I need to forge our documents first, I'll be right back." I say. I walk to the spare bedroom and
grab my knife out from under my pillow and return to the living room.
"Okay, what do you plan on doing with that?" asks Lee.
I ignore him and lay the knife on the ground, "Aeneas, I call upon your power to give us all a new idenity."
As done before, the knife starts to glow and when it dies there are three files laying on the floor. I
open the one on top, sitting on top of the papers inside is an ID.
White, Kevin Oliver
Date of Birth: September 15th, 1997
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blond
Megan looks at it, "This could work." she says.
"It will," I give the file to Lee and pick up the next one and give it to Megan, then keep the last
for myself, "so let's head out." I strap the knife to my thigh, knowing that it's power won't let regular
people see it, and walk out the front door.
