However, before Gary could ask about that day, Marie surprised him with a question of her own.
“Are you an idiot?”
Now the high schooler was really confused. One moment, Marie had been thanking him, yet the very next she was insulting him?
“I'm sorry, that came out wrong. I just don't get how you can not get scared in these situations. Back then, the black colour gang members seriously outnumbered you. There was also a good chance that everyone could have jumped you earlier as well.”
Now Gary understood a little more what she meant.
“Well, I guess I am a bit of an idiot, then. I dunno, but it just felt wrong to stand there and watch it happen. In the past, I guess I never acted when I saw it. Now, though, people around me are getting hurt, and no one is acting out about them.
“So I thought, what would happen if I became that person that instead of just watching, and wishing for help, started acting. Man, when I say this stuff out loud, it seriously sounds lame… Like those weird superhero film crap… only I'm far from being a superhero.
“I mean, for one, I'm not good-looking, scrawny and my personality sucks balls. Well, not actually balls, but you know what I mean…” Gary said as he was trailing off, and eventually looked towards Kai, Austin and Innu.
“When I look at them, they fit that role a lot better than me.”
'Oh crap!' Blake thought. 'I still haven't processed everything I heard that day, and now he wants to speak to me? I could live with you being an Altered, Gary… but since the test was negative…if you're not an Altered… are you a monster?'
