The clinic cleared out a few minutes later, leaving only Maya and Krieg left in silence. The Siren's eyes trailed over the terrain of the Psycho's body, taking in every scar, burn, and ridge in his skin as if she would forget what he looked like tomorrow. Her thoughts were still swimming from the liquor she had consumed earlier and she began to feel a little dizzy.
"Ugh...my...everything...I heard talking. HEY! Get up!" The inner Krieg ordered, getting his motor half to awaken.
"HEAD. ACHE." He groaned loudly, sitting up quickly causing the room to spin. Krieg's head nodded slightly as he tried to regain his bearings, he exhaled to notice something was off. In a quick motion, the Psycho slapped his hand to his face, feeling his beloved mask missing. Krieg frantically scanned the room, only making himself dizzier.
"Hey, looking for this?" Maya asked with a chuckle, holding her friend's mask up to her face. Krieg let out a gruff chuckle from both sides and patted the Siren's shoulder.
Maya handed the Psycho his mask back and helped him re-attach all the clips. The slightly injured man nodded in approval and patted the Siren on the shoulder a bit too roughly making her wince. He quickly drew back his hand and looked slightly worried, but the Siren just waved a hand as if to say it was alright. There was another awkward moment of silence.
"Heh. Well damn." The sane side chuckled as the conscious side hung his head in what looked like defeat. Maya tiled her head down to get a better look, worried that something else could be wrong with her Psycho. On an instinct, the Siren placed her hand on Krieg's shoulder and gave a soft squeeze,"Looks like someone is here for us. Sure, she could kill us at any moment-with just a wink of the eye too-but I think she's here for us. I think...we got through to her."
"Blue~" The conscious Krieg seemed to grumble in some menacingly loving tone, sitting upright once more. Maya leaned back, slightly shocked.
"Tell her 'thank you'. We've done it before."
"Stay by the beast. Music for the savage." The Psycho grumbled, clenching his hands into fists. The Siren's eyes darted around slightly, pursing her lips before cracking a slight grin.
"Close enough."
"You're welcome." She exhaled, standing up, "Now let's go show them that you're up and ready for more." Her voice was calm and collected, she held out a hand to her friend.
Krieg cautiously grasped his worn hand around hers, allowing Maya to lead him back to the Crimson Raider's headquarters.
-End Transmission-
A/N: What? It's over? Yes and no dear readers! At this very moment, I am formulating a whole new story! -dramatic pose- I apologize for this very very short ending. In fact, it was meant for last chapter. So boo on me. BUUUUT. Here goes. This "story" was originally supposed to be a one-shot with Krieg doing something creepy yet sweet for Maya. But then...I had to write more, so then boom this..."series" was born. This...incoherent series. Well! After throwing ideas onto the site with not much to go on. Another idea hit me. A new series. But not totally new that everything needs to be re-established. Kind of like...a better written sequel. With a brand-spanking new set of-no not heroes-VILLAINS. So right now it's in the process of being developed. Plot line, important events, backstories, you get it. So now what you've seen can be done with some thrown together ideas...think about a (almost) wholly planned adventure for all the Raiders. ALL OF THEM. Now granted, I'm going to take a little bit of time to flesh out a good portion of the plot. But I feel like it'll be worth it!
Also! If you have something you think you want to see in this new (unnamed) series. Drop it in the comments like da bass.
I love all of you. Like, all of your reviews made my days and urged me to do my absolute best.
In this new series, I'll be kind of, experimenting with a few writing styles (kind of) so I hope you look forward to it!
Also, super duper shout out to my consistent reviewers. For taking the time to review every chapter.
Thank you THANK YOU THANK YOU, for all sticking this out. You all rock.
