Cody swung over to the dilapidated part of town. I had never been to this part of the city before and I asked if Max lived there. "All cats live in the slums. Them and their families. The only way you can leave is if you are not blessed by the cat. Even then, you'll still be leaving everyone else behind. Cats are always outcasts, but even they are stronger than commons like me and Dustin." That sounded very harsh, but there was nothing I could do about it. What I was the most curious was how Cody ended up with a crush on a cat if they were outcasts. I asked him and he got defensive. "Max was the only one to help me when I needed a friend. You don't get to tell me who I can and can't like." he snapped at me. I remembered him saying that before. 'I get that, but I want to know how did you meet? He had to have done something amazing for you. What happened that made you need a friend like that in the first place?' Cody sighed deeply and stopped swinging from building to building. It must be a heavy story. He landed gracefully on a rooftop and looked out into the distance. There was not much to see.
He sighed again. I quietly waited for him to start talking again. "As you can tell, I'm gay. Assholes try to mess with me all the time. I can handle myself with commons one on one, but that's about it. One day, I was really fucked over. Getting ganged up four to one isn't too fun. I knew that it was dumb, but they had just beat up Dustin. They got us mixed up. He's... not like me. He's straight." he trailed off and continued looking off into the distance. It was a big thing to bring back, so I waited patiently. "They'll be the first ones to tell you that they were kicking my ass. That was when Max came by." he said after a moment. Cody cracked a smile and said "He took a look at them and said 'Quit it.' Max is a cat, so the commons beating me were scared off. He helped me up to my feet and said 'Bastards like that gang up on people worse off than them to make them feel better. It's fucking pathetic. I won't help you again, so you better find a way to win next time.' I was hooked. I went to the gym and took up boxing the next day. I'm not the best, but I can take two commons on my own now. I owe him." he said.
I told him 'That was a great story. I hope everything works out.' He shrugged and said "I don't know. He's a cat and I'm a common. No one is going to like seeing the two of us together. I don't even know if he's gay or not." I did not give a shit what the people thought about it. That last part seemed to be a big problem though. 'What are you going to do if he's not? You better not get your hopes too high. I don't want to see you get hurt.' I warned. Cody just said "I have the power to try. I have to try. I was prepared to confess to him at school, but those assholes got in the way!" That memory seemed to make him upset. 'Let's go. We have to find him in this big area.' I told him gently. He shot out more webbing to swing from the buildings again. He seemed to know where he was going. Eventually, he got to a convenience store. He landed on the roof and leaned over the roof to see four teens sitting outside on the curb. "That's Max. The one with the white hair and green eyes." he said. I saw him. He was hanging out with his friends. Another teen came by and said something. They got up and went with him.
We followed them from the rooftops. The five of them went to an open courtyard. There were four females on their knees. There were already three guys making use of the girls' mouths. "We wanted to teach these dumb sluts a lesson. You in or what?" the one that got them offered. Max's friends ran up to join in the activities. Max, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He was aloof as the others undid their zippers to take their cocks out. It was going as proposed until the first couple finished with one of the girls. They offered her to Max, but Max shook his head. "I don't need a group to get laid. I'm good." he said. That pissed them off and one punch sent Max to his knees. They grabbed him and one shoved their dick in his face. He glared at them. Cody gasped in concern. "Mouthy bitch, aren't you!? I bet you want to be in her place, huh? Open up or we'll beat the shit out of both of you." Max looked at her and the fight drained from him. "I do this, let her go. You got that?" he said to them. "We'll see how well you do." was the response. "Fuck that! We're going in!" Cody said. I agreed.
