Thanks for the reviews alerts and favorites! I wanted this chap to be longer but I'm stuck at the moment its hard to get my thoughts into word the scene is a lot easier to play in my head than to write it out...Anyways enjoy this short chap!
I didn't want to wake up, not with the hangover I have but I wasn't given a choice when someone flipped the couch on me. I landed on the floor with a thud while pain course through my head and right elbow.
"Get up!" An oh so familiar voice command.
"Owe what the hell?" I moaned as I manage to crawl out from under the couch glaring up at the culprit.
"You slept in long enough." Scorpion said towering over me looking intimidating as ever.
"What time is it?" I grumbled out rubbing my temples as I stayed stationed on the floor.
"10am we made an attempt earlier to wake you but that proved to be ineffective." Sub-zero answered glancing down at me.
"What do you guys want from me? I already showed you the exit." I whined placing my forehead on the cold wooded floor which felt rather soothing.
"Well your world is unbeknownst to us as well as your law we will need a guide to stay incognito. We do not wish to catch any unwanted attention." He explained offering a hand when I decided to look back up.
"You're the one that brought us here you're the one that's going send us back." Scorpion chimed in. I decided to take the hand offer to me and help myself up.
"Fine whatever but if we're going to be traveling around trying to figure this shit out. You guys are going to have to change clothes if you don't want to attract any attention." I said making my way to the kitchen planning to make coffee.
"Whose attention would we attract?" Sub-zero inquired watching me pour water into the coffee machine.
"Fanatics." I go to the cupboards to pull out a bottle of aspirin. "Crazy ones." I added popping two aspirins into my mouth looking at the two Kombantants whom both wore questionable looks. "You really don't want to know." I said swallowing them dry. "You want anything to eat?" I asked slowly creeping to the fridge turning my back to them.
"No." Was mister grumpy pants response.
"I've already helped myself this morning thank you." Shucks I was hoping to see this guy's face sneaky bastard. I grab a box of cereal from top of the fridge, a bowl from one of the cupboards and a half gallon of milk.
"Where will we be going Alice?" Sub-zero asked seating himself on a stool from across the counter as I lean against it stuffing my face.
"To the mall." I mumbled stuffing another spoonful of cereal into my mouth.
*beep*
"Coffee?" I offered turning to the coffee maker pouring myself a huge amount into a large mug also adding lots of sugar and milk to it.
"No thanks." Sub-zero politely declined but don't worry buddy I'll find a way to get you to take off that mask of yours.
"And what will we do at this mall?" Scorpion inquired looking at me with distaste.
"Shopping of course but I'm only buying you each a set of clothing because I really don't have the money right now. I'm living off of unemployment checks at the moment." And here's another wave of questionable looks. Woo. "Long story."
"When will we be going? We're wasting valuable time just sitting here! This is ridiculous!" Mister Grumpy pants was getting very impatient I may have to take a few more aspirins for the headache he's about to cause.
"Chill man let me finish my coffee and we'll go." Geez there's so many bad puns I can do with these guys I don't know if I can keep them all to myself.
After a few minutes we head out the door to spy upon my wonderful maroon beretta. Take note there's sarcasm in that last bit and I actually hate the piece of shit car.
"Okay guys hop in this thing is our transportation." I said patting the top of the chipped painted hood.
"It looks more like a death trap than our means of transportation." Sub-zero commented looking at the beat up car.
"It is." I whisper. "But that's beside the point, I don't want to walk 7 miles with the two of you in those outfits that just be... too much for me." I could just picture the events that would follow. "So please get in I'm a good driver I promise." Subbie took the passenger seat while Scorpie sat himself in the middle of the backseat.
"Okay guys here are the rules please abide by them." I pleaded glancing at the two while I drive. One do not talk about the fight club I wanted to say but that's been overly used. "One, absolutely no killing or fighting. Two, no using your powers in the public eye. Three, no telling anyone who you really are, they'll think you crazy. And four, no talking to strangers. "
"And what if we don't abide by those rules." Scorpion asked glaring at me through the review mirror.
"Then you sir are on your own against the world." I replied winking back at him as he continue to glare. We make it to the mall without another word. The parking lot seemed to be jammed packed but I've managed to a find spot though it was a long ways from the mall's entrance. While Subs walked behind me to my left mister grumpy pants decides to keep his distance on my right walking in the middle of the drive aisle in which has cause traffic to build up behind him. A car or two beeps their horns behind us and I decided to pull the wraith out of the way by tugging on his forearm. I regret my action.
"Owe owe ooowwwe!" I howled as he held my arm twisted behind my back feeling as if the bone is about to snap or pop out of place. Heat radiates off him onto my back and neck, as he growls dangerously low into my left ear.
"Don't touch me." His action on me attracts passerbies' attention causing some to stop in their walk and stare. Like staring is going to help. God this is a really painful position.
"Okay okay no touchy mercy uncle uncle." I pleaded as the pain seemed to increase the longer he kept it twisted. He eventually releases me at the same time moves out of traffics way.
"And to be frank Scorpion I did not touch you I touched your vambrace. To be touching to you is making skin to skin contact like this." I said hovering my finger above his bicep. "But guess what I'm not touching you. I'm not touchi-" the back of my shirt is tugged and I'm being pulled away ending my taunt on mister grumpy pants. Judging by the chill emitting from behind me my guess its Sub-zero that's dragging me towards the mall.
"That is unwise child I prefer you be in one piece as we do this quest." Sub stated still pulling me along.
"Fine." I replied blowing a raspberry Scorpion's way. Yeah I know that was a bad idea but I'm reaching the climax on my sugar rush from my coffee and I tend to do stupid things when I get a bit hyper. Sub-Zero releases me and all three of us walk into the mall. We didn't turn heads when we walked in but we did get a couple odd looks from a few peeps. Both ninjas stop to survey the area as I continue my way to the clothes area without them. Unlike most girls I like getting in and out as fast as possible. I then realize that nothing will get accomplish by rushing ahead because I don't know their sizes.
"Hey Mr. Chills and Mr. Grumpy Pants let's get a move on I don't want to be here all day." Sub-zero gave me a look of indifference while Scorpion gave me a new idea of a nickname for him Mr. Crows-Feet.
"What did you call me?" Scorpion growled marching towards me. Did I say that out loud?
"Hmm nothing." I said quickly hiding my arms behind my back as he was now towering over, glaring me down. He continued to glare at me for few good seconds before I couldn't handle it anymore. Those white pupil-less eyes just stare right into your soul. "Oh my Raiden isn't that Quan Chi over there!" I yelled pointing behind him and I couldn't believe it but he fell for my trick. I took that as a chance to run into the clothes department and hide in a rack of shirts.
"Get back here!" I hear him yell after me gosh he sounds a lot like Ed Boon. I remain motionless for a few minutes staring at the ground until a pair of boots stood before me. Ah shit the shirts are being move he found me. Oh um god this is awkward.
