Mercy sighed, after being attacked by another image of the same boy for the past month. Why couldn't it stop? The echo of her boots stopped with her, as she closed her eyes and rubbed her pale forehead. Crushes were annoying.
"Another Brainy thought?" Another girl came up beside her. Mercy looked at her ashen face, with its scars and stitches; it was obvious this girl wasn't natural. "You have to get over his upgrade." she continued, "What's it been? A month? Two? I mean, sure, he was cute, but now he's...oh." Then she laughed warmly. "Oh, gods, that's cute! You're right...he is kinda hot."
In response, she became hot. "I don't like him!"
"Keep walking, Matt...better get on our patrol before Cosmic Boy gets on her case," she muttered, pulling the other girl. "All I'm saying is that you're the only, I repeat, only person who stares at him as he walks by. Everyone stopped doing that a week after his upgrade...which I admit is amazing, considering the fact people stared for months when Lighty started growing whiskers." She was loud again, louder than their fast-paced steps colliding with an even faster pace behind them.
"Mercy!" A new voice caused the two to swerve around. His large green eyes stared at them, with a mischevious look in them.
"Cham?" she asked, blinking at the orange boy before her. Suspicion settled where her confused anger was a moment before. Unlike most would presume, she knew the boy well. Mattie knew he was about to say if not do something that would probably tick her off.
"Hi, Patch." he greeted the hostile eyes of Mercy's friend, before turning back to the girl he had lived with for four years. "Timber Wolf, Triplicate Girl, Lighting Lad and I are gonna meet up with Brainy for our patrol. Wanna come?"
"You mean ambush him again?" For a second, Mercy had sworn Patch had said that, before realizing the icy sentence came out of her own mouth. Again, she blushed, this time with guilt.
Chameleon Boy squirmed slightly. "What's so bad about it? I mean, he's 'fighting' with a hologram of Superman almost every week..."
"Doesn't mean you have the right to ambush him as he leaves every week, either." Patch huffed. "I don't care what you two do, but I'm not going to let myself get an earful from our 'O Great Leader' again for wasting my time with you."
Mercy could hear her best friend stomp off.Cham was still there, now giving her pleading eyes. "Please?" he asked. "You know you want to see him..."
"No!"Mattie cut in,"I am not going to annoya senior legionnaire for fun. I'd rather deal with Cosmic Boythan that."She crossed her arms. "You, on the other hand,should come with me andactually be on time...for once." Uh-oh. That came out wrong.
"Fine." he growled, turning and stomping off. "Don't know why you can't be on my side for once..."
All she could do was shake her head in confusion of why he was always so moody before rushing to catch up to Patch. Why couldn't the kid actually see past his nose for once?
Patch's mousey-brown hair flew behind her as her amber gaze rested on Matte. "Good to know you didn't join the Dark Side- not that I had any doubts." When she was close enough, Patch ruffled the shorter girl's hair a bit. "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll get over puberty sometime before fifty." she joked when she saw the sad purple eyes.
"It's not that..." Mercy looked ahead at the upcoming lobby. "I just feel worried...for Cham...for Brainy...and the others."
Patch blinked. "Why?"
"I don't know...I just fear that something bad's coming...and it'll catch them in the cross-fire." she finished as a blinding light echoed in the hallway; a door to another 'world' closing the fate of the oblivious people of the galaxy.
And...that wraps up the prologue. I don't know...I just felt that fit...I mean, I went through, what? Two versions already. Short, I know, but I couldn't concentrate today. Let's hope for a better tomorrow! 8D
Anyways, this is Glitch. Hai. Hope you enjoyed it...though there were only three characters, two of which were mine laugh, I think it shows what's currently going on.
So, reviews are welcome and wanted, as well as questions, if not comments. I just hope the next chapter's better, because that is gonna be an important chapter
Anyways, before I say good-bye, let's have a moment of silence for the dying LoSH cartoon, because this is its last season.
...Hopefully the new Spider-Man series will be worth making fanfics of when the time comes.
Anyways, before I ramble on forever on stuff, hope you had a good read, and will like this fanfic.
I do not own any of the characters mentioned besides Patch and Mercy/Mattie.
This has been Glitch. See ya next chapter!
