Chapter 7: Davy's Story

Authors Note:

/* This is just an background story chapter so don't forget to read Chapter 6: Reunited. This half-chapter is short and a bit irrelevant but I thought it was interesting. If you are feeling lazy then you can skip this it and not miss much. As I said, it's a background story so it won't effect the current plot line because it already happened. It's not really a chapter but I'm a bit OCD so naming it something other than 7 would throw the numbers off and annoy me. Anyways... without further ado, here's Davy's story.*/

Davy has a superpower, his laser hands. He doesn't particularly like having it, it ruined his life. Davy was born to a rich family that had everything. He was a good little boy and had good morals. His grades were great and everyone couldn't fathom a reason to hate him.

When he turned five, this all changed. His laser hands appeared and he nearly burned down his entire house. His parents blamed the fire on him and took no pity on the facts that it was A.) his birthday B.) he was their only child C.) it was his first day with the powers and D.) he had no where else to go. They kicked him out of the house and left him on the streets.

He was a good honest little boy at this time so he cautiously begged people for food and money, he never even considered stealing. After a while, he lost a lot of weight until the point where he was unhealthily thin. He was about to die when a teenager by the name of Stone took him in. Stone was by no standards good or honest or trustworthy. He was the criminal, he mugged, robbed, killed, and blackmailed people.

The minute Stone saw Davy accidentally shoot his lasers at someone in self defense, he began to plan. He wanted to turn Davy into his ruthless assassin. Problem was, Davy was an innocent boy with bad luck, he was not ruthless or an assassin…yet. Stone knew Davy would become too weak to be on his own soon so he bided his time until he was. It was then that Stone took Davy in and began to take care of him.

So when Davy finally got better, he felt the need to thank Stone for saving him. His thankfulness was his biggest mistake. Stone took advantage of this and made Davy his servant. He trained him to kill and steal and then forced him to do so.

Davy soon lost his clean record, he became a lying thief and a murderer. He was Stone's biggest success, mostly because he was who people least expected to attack them and yet Davy did it so effectively and ruthlessly. At this point, Stone was Davy's only way to survive. If he left, people would take revenge on him and kill him. With Stone at his side, he was assured protection and that he wouldn't go hungry again.

Then one day when they were in Cincinnati, he and Stone were going to attack a local coffee shop late at night for food and money. However, this was the night everything changed. They got in the coffee shop easily, they didn't set of an alarm or make any noise. However, it was much harder to fool Eva than an alarm.

When they tried to leave, Eva was at the door. Stone had superpowers, he could turn to stone (hence his street name, Stone). So, he turned to stone and attacked Eva. He couldn't seem to hit Eva, she would easily duck out of his way. He started to say how cowardly she was to not hit him, which was the biggest mistake he ever made.

When she hit back, she cracked the stone. Two hits later he was shards on the floor. Davy had been watching all of this in fear, this was supposed to be an easy hit. An in-and-out mission. No one was supposed to know they were there at all and yet here he was standing on death row, knowing he was next.

Luckily for Davy, Eva was not unreasonable. Stone had been the one who offended her, fought her, and taken her money, Davy had been at his side, not doing anything. Eva did not attack him, instead she gave him some tea and asked him to sit down and tell her the story of how he got there. It took the rest of the night and he didn't leave anything out but when he finished, he expected to be destroyed just as Stone was.

However, Eva asked him if he wanted a life off the streets. He said that he did but knew it was impossible at this point, he had too many enemies. She then asked if he knew how to clean dishes. He was confused but then said he did.

"Then do you want to stay with me" Eva asked. "The only requirement is that you have to bus the tables."

Davy was surprised but quickly agreed.

Authors Note:

/* And that is how Davy met Eva. That's also how he became a criminal. He always had good intentions but was really unfortunate. Really, really unfortunate. Extremely unfortunate. I just thought you might want to know because it's interesting and it explains his reluctance to use his powers. It will also help you to understand his actions in upcoming chapters. Anyway...the next chapter will be chapter 7, not 6.6 or anything crazy like that ;) */
