Chapter 2


26. Forever and a day

They had been waiting so long for this day, but now it had finally come. After numerous battles and even more sleepless nights, they could finally go home. And in all truth, they couldn't have been happier.

27. Lost and Found

How long had it been since she had last set foot in the place she one called home? Surely all the calendars she had ever looked at had been lying. It must have only been a few weeks, not the many, many years she kept being led to believe.

28. Light

Sitting under this tree, watching his team chase each other like eager puppies, he felt so free. He could just sit right here, close his eyes, and sleep for eternity.

29. Dark

It was so cold wherever he was dark as well. All he knew was that something was cold, and everything was dark. And for the first time, in a long time he was cold. Oh, how he wished to close his eyes for a moment. Just a few seconds...

30. Faith

No, she didn't believe in a god, but some days she really wished she did. Because watching her teammates struggle so hard, for so long, killed her inside. She just wished it could all be worth it in the end.

31. Colours

"Friends, oh friends! I have discovered something very troubling! How can I ever succeed in tasting the rainbow if there is no blue skittle?"

32. Exploration (1)

He hadn't noticed it before, but green and gray really did make beautiful color combination. Like gray clouds on a green field.

33. Seeing Red

So much red, tracing her crevices, spilling out life. So much pure life... Little red rivers, running rivulets across her body. Watch it drain her clean.

34. Shades of Grey

Her father had had red skin. Her mother, white. So how, oh how, did she end up gray?

35. Forgotten

How could he have forgotten the most important rule in world of supervillains? Control Freak needed a sidekick! At last, the Teen Titans would tremble in fear!

36. Dreamer

He wondered if her skin was as rough as the dirt she clung to.

37. Mist

No matter how much they tried, no one could seem to break through the ever creeping fog muddling her brain. No, slowly, so slowly they were losing her and they could do no more than watch her disappear into mist.

38. Burning

She didn't show it obviously, but her sister's betrayal still tormented her dreams.

39. Out of Time

His lungs may be burning, he knees scraped, blood falling off him, but he did it! He finally carried the title of "Fastest Obstacle Course Time."

40. Knowing How

It was a hard truth he learned young. It didn't matter how much you cared, none of it matter unless you finally acted.

41. Fork in the road

She had been running away for a good many years. So when she finally came across a chance to rest and actually live, she didn't know what to do.

42. Start

Stupid, stupid, stupid. How could he have possibly thought that leaving Doom Patrol would've helped him. Now he was lost, alone, without money, and at the point of exhaustion. He had been looking for a gig for sometime now, and had ended up on the other side of the country, yeah, he was definitely lost. Oh well, maybe Jump City would have something to offer.

43. Nature's Fury

He and his team had risked their lives to save this country numerous times and this is what they get? This Meta-Human Restriction Act? yet they still expected him to save their sorry asses? No way, if they thought he would let them treat his team like that, they had another thing coming. Let's see how much they can protect themselves now, he thought smugly.

44. At Peace

Everything was so... quiet. No blasting music, no Mega Monkeys induced shouts, no explosions from the kitchen, no poorly timedjokes. Yes, everything was so quiet... and she had never felt lonelier.

45. Heart Song

He has a broken heart hidden under his bed. Tired and shattered, it lies, collecting dust, as he lets it vanish into the dark. But once he reached his hand through the dark to grasp the heart. A sharp pain and he drew back bleeding.

46. Reflection

Mirrors, oh how he hated mirrors. By now, you would think he would be use to his new body, and now cringe every time he saw it. yet he couldn't help but avoid every mirror in his path.

47. Perfection

Ahhhh. All was right. Pizza had been ordered, movies had been picked, and everyone was laughing. Yep, he could so get use to this.

48. Everyday Magic

She laughed, she laughed, she laughed. Oh Dear God, it was such a glorious sound, however rare it was. And he swore he would hear it again.

49. Umbrella

He hadn't know what to do. She had just looked so vulnerable, so weak and shrouded by the shadows of this cruel world. He had to help.

50. Party

Their personal motto was something they all lived by. Live for now, and if that meant throwing the biggest party this side of the equator, well, that was just a bonus, wasn't it?

A/N: Thank all of you who reviewed. I really appreciated the fact that you pointed out which sentences you enjoyed and did not enjoy. Helps me grow as a writer and all that. I know it's been awhile since I last updated. Sorry about that. There were probably many grammatical errors, but spelling should be all good. I know a lot of these are on the ore serious side of the spectrum, but that's what I get for listening to sad music while writing. Hope you all enjoyed!
