Disclaimer: I do not own Legion.
Another crack pairing drabble.
Tyroc: Troy Stewart of Marzal Island, Earth. Has a different super-power depending on how he screams. One screams emits a sonic cry, another emits a force field, and so on.
Bonus points to those of you who know what the movie is.
Screams in the Night
"This boy feels the need for speed!"
The villain on the screen yelled at his poor victim as Troy Stewart, the hero known as Tyroc, watched. He thought he'd seen it all ever since he joined the Legion and left behind his home of Marzal Island, but horrors movies, this was something else.
He was waiting for his girlfriend to finally join him, he'd already started the movie, but he didn't know it would be like this. He was watching some guy no older than himself, being merged with a motorcycle. Cables and wires digging into his flash. A fuel pump sticking into his leg and filling his veins with gasoline as his skin dried out and ripped off. Who knew humans could be capable of such things, even if they weren't real? It was completely possible for such things to happen in real life.
It was a boring night, and they had nothing better to do than veg out and watch some bad horror movies. This was the third one they watched, the fifth in a old series from one thousand years ago. Troy had already seen parts three and four earlier, and already he'd seen a boy being used like marionette, his nerves as strings. Then, grossly, he watched a girl half transform into a cockroach and crushed inside a roach motel in the villain's hands. He felt queasy. Where was she?
It was further into the movie. Troy was sitting on edge, a popcorn bowl empty by his side. Not eaten by him, of course. His stomach felt queasy, but he watched on. A girl had fallen asleep at the dinner table during a party.
"Tell you what? Why don't I just eat the whole goddamn tray, go throw up, and come back for seconds, alright?!" The girl screamed at her mother, when the villain popped up again. The girl was trapped inside some kind of high chair as he put a plate on her tray. Troy was too sucked into the movie to hear the doors open behind him.
She snickered as she came in. She felt it was in bad taste, but she couldn't help herself. She thought the face on her boyfriend's face was so cute when he was scared.
Troy felt his heart sink to his gut when he saw what the man was feeding to the girl on screen. He was actually stuffing her face with her own INSIDES. He felt sick.
"You ARE what you EAT!" He mocked as the others laughed at the poor girl.
She was right behind him. He was on edge. He never heard her, until she went-
"BOO!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Troy screamed, and sent out a laser blast which took out the entire wall.
BOOM!
He sank back down in the couch, heart beating frantically. He turned around.
"Note to self." His girlfriend, Lydda Jath, Night Girl, said, slumped on the floor with frizzed hair from the explosion. "NEVER sneak up on a guy with super-powered screams."
The End.
