It was hard not to notice the tense atmosphere clinging to his fellow Renegades latly… The glaces and worried looks to the down right avoiding gazes. His team was a mess of emotions.
The cause had been easy enough to identify. Truths were coming to light and the members of the Anti-Flash Task Force just didn’t know how to handle dealing with them. And honestly nether did he. But avoiding each other was not going to help anything.
So when he noticed Warlock headed to the roof, Heatstroke decided to follow. Opening the door, the first thing the scared man noticed what the sunny skies forecasted for the day were replaced with a light drizzle. He suposed it could be worse like a down pour or thunderstorm. Heat walked over to join Warlock near the edge of the building looking between him and the view of the city.
“Hey.”
Warlock started when he heard the greeting. He had not expected anyone else on the roof while he was there. Even during the other times he came up here to relax, he was usually alone. He turned his head to identify the source of the voice, mouthing a silent “oh” when he saw who it was.
“Heatstroke. What brings you up here?”
Heat rocked back on his feet focusing his attention on the startled man. He hadn’t meant the scare the kid. Just let him know he wasn’t alone.
“You. I’m up here for you.” He moved closer this time to stand within arm’s length of the other. “Thought you might want to talk.”
Warlock stabbed at the holopanels with more force than necessary. He was not angry. Annoyed and miffed, maybe. But not angry.
An error message popped up. He had keyed in and sorted the wrong data again for the 5th time this morning.
Scowling, Warlock forcefully jabbed on the undo button and selected the “reset all” instead by mistake, which to his mounting horror proceeded to undo all his work for the past 2 hours. It occurred to him that in his carelessness, he had forgotten to save. He let out a string of curses, something he rarely did, and leaned back on his chair in frustration. Okay. He was angry. And all these desk work was driving him up the wall.
He ran a palm through his face, sighing in frustration. The last few days had been an emotional hell and he hated it. The conversation he had with Mirror Monarch was something he had already put behind him, or so he kept telling himself. It was like a nagging at the back of his mind he was trying best to ignore.
The main issue was when he was out on the field. The weather wand was sensitive; it was affected by his own thoughts and emotions whenever he was in possession of it. He could not even look at Trixster anymore. Every time he did, the younger man would be very pointedly looking away and concentrated elsewhere. It angered him as much as it upset him and the wand would detect it, sending small bursts of electricity through itself. He had been on the receiving end of them so much the past few days that he had grown quite numb to the static shocks.
Even Commander Cold had noticed something was off, if his constant glances at both of them - more often on Trixster - were anything to go by. He was still carrying out his desk job duty as punishment from the last time and he was not looking forward to another reprimand.
Warlock sighed again. He had been staring at the white ceiling for the past few minutes. He moved his head a little to check the time on his desk and decided he won’t be missed for a few minutes. He really needed a breather.
It was drizzling when he arrived at the rooftop of the precinct. He walked forward and stopped right before reaching the edge. He shut his eyes and took a deep breath of cool air, feeling a strange comfort when small droplets of water landed on his face.

“Hey.”
(( Weather Warlock rainbow glitter service! I promise no glitter on your carpet, Bekka. ))
Heatstroke: *laughing* Oh Grief!
Bekka: Thanks for not getting glitter everywhere, darling~ *chuckling herself*
*Groans* Why does everyone want these pictures? Jeez, have I not scared your eyes enough yet?
Yea. It clashes with my complexion! Looks much better on you darling, you pull off green and yellow very nice, yes. *his tone mimicking Edna Mode* You sure you ok? I won’t judge… Going from ten to 22 in seconds can’t be fun…*shakes his head* No worries. You were a great kid… er the outfit just confused you a bit.
*jovially* I’ve seen a lot worse, and you actually don’t look half-bad in them. Plus, it makes for amusing conversation material.
*laughs* I’m fine. Just a bit of a headache, nothing to worry about. I… I think I remember that. It’s like a distant memory, but they’re there somewhat.
Of course *shakes his head* Well… the original point of this thing was to be funny and looks like it still it. Glad it might actually get some laughs around here.
You remember? That’s interesting… Maybe its like remembering something when you were 10… there but faded.
Yea, kid. Its me. *rubs his back a bit, hoping it s comforting* I don’t think I want to see you go through that again ether… Thou you make a cute kid. *chuckles and then just rolls his eyes as Warlock breaks down laughing* Haha, I’m sure this just hilarious… Yes, Bekka has seen me, Monarch saw to that… She even has the pictures to prove it.
*runs his hand over the wig delighted to find that it fell right off* Looks like my curse is over too! Sweet! *he drops the wig and quickly takes off the earrings. The clothes and wig would be a decent fire starer…*
*grins a little* Thanks, Heatstroke. I might have to ask Bekka to send me those pictures for my keepsake.
Those may have looked good, but green is really not your color. *laughs and slowly gets up* I think I’m fine now. Thanks for looking out for me when I was de-aged.
*Groans* Why does everyone want these pictures? Jeez, have I not scared your eyes enough yet?
Yea. It clashes with my complexion! Looks much better on you darling, you pull off green and yellow very nice, yes. *his tone mimicking Edna Mode* You sure you ok? I won’t judge… Going from ten to 22 in seconds can’t be fun…*shakes his head* No worries. You were a great kid… er the outfit just confused you a bit.
A very good thing! Yep, that would be you little guy. *ruffles his hair*
Yep or that would really stink… I’d have to go on a quest for a good wizard looking like this! I like my other one much, much better. Heels hurt after a while!
*as soon as Warlock shows signs of pain, Heat is kneeling next to him watching as the boy changes back into a man.* Hey there Merlin… You ok?
*groans* I… H… Heatstroke? *grimaces* This… is something I’d really rather not go through again. Oh, that was unpleasant… *as he knelt on the ground sorting out his thought and memories, he starts laughing quietly, and then louder, escalating into a full-out laugh* Seriously, Heatstroke? Has… hahaha… Bekka seen you? Oh god.
Yea, kid. Its me. *rubs his back a bit, hoping it s comforting* I don’t think I want to see you go through that again ether… Thou you make a cute kid. *chuckles and then just rolls his eyes as Warlock breaks down laughing* Haha, I’m sure this just hilarious… Yes, Bekka has seen me, Monarch saw to that… She even has the pictures to prove it.

Super silly! I managed to catch him with the help of the rest of my team; With Mirror Monarch’s super sneaky skills, Commander Cold’s cunning plan, the Trixster’s toys tripping her up, and Weather Warlock to slap on the cuff! And thus the day was saved by the RENEGADES ~ Wellll, sort of… She wouldn’t take off the curse but it shouldn’t be for too much longer. *laughs*
*grins* You got to catch the bad witch, that’s a good thing! M’supposed to be the Warlock, right? Everyone keeps calling me that here.
Aww… At least the curse goes off. I like your green outfit, but I think I like your other one better!
*he feels something tingly go through his body and shudders* What is happening- Ah! *he falls to his knees in pain as the tingle became physically painful. In moments, he was once again back in an adult’s body and he stays there kneeling on the ground, panting as he recover from the growth spurt*

Yeaaaa, well you see I was trying to stop this evil witch from caring out her evil plot when she put this nasty spell on me. I have to wear this for 24 hours or else I’ll be turned into a frog! I don’t want to be a frog so thats why!
*laughs* That’s so silly! I don’t think I’d want to be a frog, though, so I guess that makes sense. Did you catch the witch?

I’m glad!
I’m not in his pictures?! *gasps* Wait… did you see a person in a white and orange suit? Thats me!
*frowns* But you’re wearing all green now. Everyone I’ve met looked the same as the pictures, except you.

*smiles* Yea, I’m one of Jack’s friends. He and I work together to fight crime, defend justice, and protect the peace!
*sniggers* Are you one of the Rehnuhgades too?
Yep! I am part of the super special group known as the Renegades! Also called the Reverse-Flash Task Force! We fight in the past to protect your future. *Does a dumb little pose power rangers pose*
