Brooks
Chapter 14: Afterwards
Passion was sent to the zoo where Brooks occasionally visited her. Brooks quit doing drugs & was hailed a hero for his deeds. He had singlehandedly taken down T. Rex's drug cartel. Brooks managed to learn to control his rage & keep himself from going into bloodlust mode. He visited Sarah's grave & placed a rose on it.
"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe. Now I'm stronger. And happy too." he laughed. "I wish you were here. I know I never admitted my feelings for you. I regret that now. I can't change the past though. I have accepted my life. You'd be so proud. I have a way to be normal too. I can take it whenever i want if i want to be human again. Of course, I chose not to. I accepted my role. I'm a hero. I know you didn't want that but I can't help it. Anyway, see you later Sarah. I love you."
Brooks got a job working at a small restaurant as waiter to keep himself busy & to make sure he had money. It wasn't a cool job but at least it was his. He enjoyed cooking & being around food.
His life was finally turning over to be a very happy & enjoyable time.
But as a hero, you're job will never be done. Even in death a hero's legend lives on. That was Brooks' life & he loved every moment of it.
Author's note: Brooks accepted himself as a hero & not a monster. He didn't take the Venom X but he kept in case he changed his mind. Epilogue is up next.
