Chapter 1

Some people believe in fate, others karma, all I know is life is very funny, I'm not talking about laughing funny, I'm talking about that coincidental funny. Take two boys very in love, a genius lonely old scientist, and a hateful white man. Let's see what you get. Our Story begins in a Rural City, in front of it lays a beautiful ocean and a famous beach. behind it neighborhoods full of families of men who work in the city. Downtown in the mayor's office of city hall sits a large white man with brown politician hair and a greyish-brown beard. he wears a black suit and across from him is a nervous 70-year-old man, wearing dress pants and dress shirt, and a long white cardigan. "Dr.Batz I'm happy to see you, is my serum ready?" asked the mayor calm and casual. "I apologize Mayor dixie, but the serum is incomplete, I'm trying to perfect the risky transformation the strength would give you, to my understanding it's hideous and irreversible, I just need more time," said Dr.Batz. "I've been waiting for these powers so I can complete the next stage of my plan Dr.Batz. it has to happen before re-elections, so how about this I give you two months, and if it still isn't ready, I'll kindly take what you have and get a better doctor to finish the serum, and sadly you won't be alive to see it. do you understand?" asked Mayor dixie. "Yes sir. In two months I'll have the serum ready" said Dr.Batz sweating. "Good, now if you'll excuse me I need to prep for my rally in a few moments," said the mayor adjusting his suit jacket and getting up. on his way home the doctor was tense and nervous after his meeting, he almost didn't see the young man crossing the street at a red light. "oh, god I'm so sorry," said dr. batz. "your fine sir, I should have been watching," said the young man. curious Dr.batz watched as he finished crossing the street over to a high school where the young man met up and hugged another young man only he was white. with happiness and nostalgia in his eyes and heart, he smiled and took a mental note then continued to drive.

as a young black man walked out of a coffee shop, with his curly hair and blue scar dancing in the cold air he saw the love of his life, a handsome tall white young man with long blond hair and green eyes. as he crossed the street he was almost hit by a Cadillac driven by a nervous looking old man. "oh, god I'm sorry" said the old man. "your fine sir, I should have been watching" said the young black man. he met up with the handsome young white man and the two shared a quick kiss. "thanks Teddy bear" said the white young man. he had a deep, sweet sensual voice. "no problem, I know how you don't get enough sleep sometimes" said the young black man, he had a soothing, calm voice, it was masculine with a dash of fem. at lunch they sat at a small table in the back of the eating area for privacy and sat close to each other. "So sly have you been looking for internships?" asked the young black man. "yeah a few, I only hear back from labs that support and follow the goddamn mayor, what about you teddy," said Sylvester. "it been hard for me too, there's not a lot of fashion designers in Velvet city, I would literally have to move to new york or California," said Teddy. "I honestly think you should ask your dads about that," said Sylvester. "Sly, you know I don't like using them for career help, that includes connections," said Teddy. "I don't get it your dads are rich and lowkey famous, I would use whatever they have" said Sylvester. "babe don't, my parents raised me to work hard and not to rely on money but on myself and my skill," said Teddy. "Your right I guess, so what are we doing tomorrow night, I was hoping to hang out with you and your folks?" asked Sylvester. "come on we did that last week, but I do have an idea. you know how I love Archie comics, the ones from the 60s, lets go to the last 60s diner for dinner we can get burgers and milkshakes and we can go to a movie, either before or after" said Teddy. "actually that does sound nice. but that diner is in the fringe, are you sure you want to go there?" asked Sylvester. "of course, I got my big strong man to protect me, besides I'm a master at like three different martial arts remember" said Teddy. "whatever you say boss" said, Sylvester.

Later that night in the dark and worst part of Velvet city also called the fringe, Dr.Batz held up in the lab level of his penthouse building. he was sipping tea and taking notes while looking at huge screens with pictures of Teddy and Sylvester also documents such as birth records, hospital records, and academic records. "Jesse, could you come here please?" asked dr. batz. soon a beautiful light-skinned man walked into the room wearing a suit with an elegant British accent. "Yes Doctor?" asked Jesse. "I would like you to draft a letter for me please?" asked dr. batz. soon Jesse's eyes turned into static then glowing white. "you may begin sir" said Jesse. "Dear Sylvester Grey, I have come across your resume and cover letter, in hopes of finding an internship with a science Laboratory, I am Doctor Levy Batz, Velvet's smartest scientist, and genius, and would like to offer you the internship, I understand that you decline anyone associated with the current mayor Mason Dixie, it's my pleasure to inform you that I do not. for your official interview please come to this address the day you get this letter, dress causal, I look forward to meeting you" said Dr.batz. "Excellent sir, would you like to draft another letter?" asked Jesse. "Yes please," said Dr.Batz.
