When I woke up I found myself in a bed which didn’t make any sense considering I was supposed to be sleeping on the couch. I start to sit up but realise there's an arm around my waist holding me there. I start to turn around but hit my shoulder on his and wince in pain. This wakes Raven up and he sits us both up.
“How ya feeling?”
I shrugged, gritting my teeth slightly. That's when it hit me. “Who took over watch? I didn’t wake anyone. What even happened?”
“Relax. You fell asleep after we finished your shoulder and I brought you in here. I woke up Fang to take watch.”
“And you told him what?”
“I told him I found you out there asleep when I went to the bathroom.”
“And why am I sleeping in your room with you instead of on the couch?”
Raven went silent, he hadn’t thought of that. I rolled my eyes and got up out of bed.
“Where’s my trench coat?”
“I think it’s still out there.”
“Fuck.”
“What?”
“I don’t really want everyone to see how bad I’m fucked up. That’s why I took care of myself. Hell I still need to get my jeans on instead of these.”
“I think you look good with the shorts.”
“Shut up.” I said as I pushed him back on the bed.
I walked over to the door and cracked it open and listened. It sounded like there were only a few people awake. I opened the door and quietly walked down the hall to my room. I quietly snuck into my room and saw that only Sorrows was in there, V must be in the kitchen. I grabbed a pair of my black skinny jeans and quietly snuck back to Raven’s room.
“Get out.”
“Why?”
“Just go.”
He remained sitting on the bed so I pulled a knife on him. “Out.”
He held up his hands. “Alright, alright, I’m going.”
I smiled as he got up to go, kissing me on the way out.
I changed from my shorts to my fresh black skinny jeans. When I was done I walked out to the kitchen. I saw Raven, Bomb, Fang, Revenge and V sitting out there, each of them with a cup of coffee in front of them except Bomb.
“Good morning!” Revenge exclaimed.
“Yeah, morning.” I grabbed my trench coat and shrugged it on, covering up my shoulder.
“How’s your shoulder?”
I glared at him and he looked away. Not having any open chairs left in the kitchen I leaned against the counter.
“So how are you?” Bomb asked.
I looked at her. “Does it matter?”
“Not really, but you wouldn’t let me look last night.”
“I’m fine.”
“So what happened last night?”
“I fixed my leg, then my shoulder, then I passed out to awaken like 10 minutes ago.” I glanced at the clock and found it to be 6:30.
“And you slept where? I thought you were sleeping on the couch?”
“I was going to but I woke up in Raven’s room.” I slightly frowned.
“And where was Raven sleeping then?”
I looked at Bomb with a face telling her to shut up. “The floor.”
She lifted her eyebrows and I stared at her. “Really?”
I rolled my eyes. “Alright fine, you win yes, he slept behind me.”
Bomb started to smile in triumph but I glared at her with my icy blue eyes and she stopped. “Yes, we’re together.”
Since the word was already out and I was tired I went over and sat on Raven.
“How is everyone else doing?”
“Fine.” V replied.
“Never been better.” Revenge said.
Fang nodded.
Bomb replied with, “Alright.”
We sat there talking with V about what had happened while they were all held captive by Better Living and slowly everyone came out to join us, Flash, Daydream, Star, and even Sorrows hobbled out to join us. We quickly moved the party to the living room because there was more space.
Soon the conversation turned to war stories and how they all got caught. It turns out V, Star, Sorrows, and Daydream were all captured together. Well actually Star and Daydream were taken and Sorrows and V tried to save them but got captured. They all sat there exchanging all kinds of war stories, I eventually got bored and zoned out, so I pulled out all the papers I had printed from Better Living.
I started flipping thru the pages, glancing over the different tests and what not that they had. Sure enough there was an experiment called ‘Red Anger’ and they had perfected it. I continued flipping thru pages, reading all the experiments they had. I even read the profiles they had on everyone they had stashed away there. Eventually I found the most wanted list. I looked at the number one most wanted and saw my face staring back at me. I smiled at being the number one most wanted and read what was written below my picture.
“Wanted for several breaking and enterings, murder, and vandalism of BLI/nd. Wanted alive and brought to Korse himself.”
I looked over the rest of the most wanted paper but didn’t see anyone I knew. I was overly happy to find myself being number one most wanted by Korse.
“What are you so happy about?” Raven asked, sitting next to me.
I handed him the most wanted paper.
“Wow, number one most wanted, congratulations?”
“I’m fucking awesome!”
Everyone turned to look at me.
“What?”
“What are you so excited about?” V asked.
“I’m number one most wanted on Korse’s list!” I took the paper back from Raven and handed it to V who read it aloud.
Everyone kinda just looked at me, it didn’t seem like an accomplishment to them,more a hazard. Bomb just rolled her eyes but she knew where I was coming from cause she had known me for years. V looked semi-impressed but other then that I just got blank stares.
We spent the rest of the night talking about our war stories again, which eventually lead to me figuring out exactly what had happened that they had been taken, in detail. We also heard the stories of what they went thru while they were held captive. I told them about some of my awesome take downs of BLI/nd bases and we shared our story about how Bomb, Raven, Torture, Fang, and me came together. They were all impressed and slightly afraid of me, though who wasn’t afraid of me.
Next thing I knew it was 11PM and Bomb was taking first watch. She was going to wake me up at 3 since she hadn’t taken watch for a while and I had a feeling Raven would take watch with me. Everyone had the same sleeping arrangements as the night before except me, I was going to sleep in Raven’s room with him since we were already figured out anyway.
I carried Sorrows to my room and left her on the bed before walking into Raven’s room. I closed the door and took off my trench coat, draping it across the dresser. I curled up on the bed in front of Raven and fell asleep with his arm around me.
