Here's my crackfic oooOOOooo!
Mileena had left Outworld and wandered aimlessly somewhere in the outskirts of Earthrealm. She hid in a black hooded cloak and silently sobbed. She couldn't understand why Scorpion had rejected her. She had offered him a token of her affection.
A teddy bear.
The moment he had said to her "I hate teddies," she pleaded for him to accept her gift. She even went as far as engaging in a fight with him to try to change his mind, but it was no use. He had defeated her and left the teddy bear by her side. In that moment her heart had broken into a million pieces.
She continued to walk in silence and her tears eventually disappeared.
It was late in the evening and she had wandered into a small town of some sort. A very few people wandered the streets and paid her no mind as she passed by them. She noticed a couple walking out of a bar laughing and walking hand in hand in the other direction.
She scowled in their direction, envying their love for one another.
She stopped at the entrance of the bar and peered inside. There was no one to be seen, except for the bartender who looked to be a middle-aged woman with her peppered hair and pudgy waist. She thought it was strange that it wasn't full of people, but she pushed that thought aside and decided to go in.
She sat on one of the high stools.
The bartender greeted with a smile, "Good evening! What would you like?"
Mileena shrugged and replied, "Beer!"
"Okay, what kind?"
"What kind do you have?"
"Well, I have bud light, budweiser, coors light, miller lite, corona…"
"It doesn't matter." Mileena interrupted. "Give me whichever one will help me forget!"
The bartender nodded and walked away.
Mileena peered up at the TV mounted in the corner of the room closest to her.
Nothing interesting to watch.
The bartender brought her a large glass cup full of beer and looked at her expectantly. Mileena pulled out her small bag of gold coins and handed one to her. Her eyes lit up at the gold coin. "I haven't seen one of these in a while." She smirked and walked away.
Mileena was about to take a drink but stopped when she remembered her magenta veil.
"Hey!" Mileena called out to the bartender and she approached closer.
"Do you have something I can use to drink this?"
The bartender eyed her veil and nodded with understanding. She walked away and returned with straw.
"Enjoy!" she said with a smile and walked away.
A little while later, Mileena hears someone walk in through the door. She peeked over her shoulder to see a man wearing a dark blue hooded jacket with black baggy jeans.
He goes straight to the men's restroom.
"Awe, the stranger's back!" the bartender said while shining the gold coin.
"Who is he?" Mileena asked.
"I don't know. He's not from around here. He's only been here a few days and he never told me his name."
"Where is he from?"
"He didn't say, but if I had to guess I'd say somewhere in Asia."
"Hmm." Mileena continued to sip on her drink.
"Maybe you can get him to talk." The woman suggested. "You're a beautiful stranger too!"
"You can tell that through this." She tugged at her veil.
The woman laughed, "No. It's your eyes. They are very captivating."
"Oh, thanks," Mileena replied indifferently, not believing her compliment to be sincere.
The stranger walked out of the restroom and went to the far end away from Mileena and sat on one of the high stools.
He orders a few shots before settling for a large glass of beer.
Mileena silently watches him. He seemed to keep his gaze downward, not once did he look up at the bartender or anywhere else around the room. Perhaps he too had his heart broken.
Mileena sips the rest of her drink and decides to approach him. She sits on the stool next to him.
"Hey." She says with a seductive tone. "You look like you could use some company."
The man scoffed, "I don't need any company."
Mileena smirked under her veil. For some reason, his anti-social demeanor seemed to attract her much like her beloved Scorpion.
"Oh, come one," she cooed, "We're the only ones here and I could use some company myself."
"Well, that sucks for you." He takes a drink of his beer.
Mileena emitted a mischievous giggle, "Does it? I'm not going anywhere."
The man sets down his glass.
"Alright." He turned to face her. "What do you really want?"
Mileena paused after seeing his face for the first time. He had a striking resemblance to her beloved, except for his eyes that seemed to reflect beautifully like chocolate orbs. He was indeed very handsome.
"I told you I could use some company." She said while still gazing into his eyes. "At least for tonight."
His eyes suddenly flicker for a split second and his whole demeanor changes, as he seemed to relax.
He eyed her veil. "What's with that?"
"I'm not normal." She said and eyed the hood covering his head. "What's with yours?"
"It keeps normal people away."
She chuckled, "What's your name, stranger?"
He seemed hesitant, but answered, "Jack."
Mileena tilted her head. Funny, she thought, he doesn't look like a "Jack."
"What's your name?" he asked.
She paused, not wanting to give out her name. Not while she was still in Earthrealm. Thinking quickly she replied, "Sonya."
It's crap, isn't it? But hey, if you like it great! If you don't, great! I've got one more chapter on the way!
