(Okay, again. I am hinting towards one of my one shots here. Its titled 'Alive'. Go read that first, then read this. It will make a lot more sense.)
"He doesn't-"
"I know, mate. Shut up."
"But-"
"Shut up."
"But he don't got a heart! And I don't mean emotionally this time!"
Punk Rocket glared at Billy Numerous. "Don't talk about it. I'll explain it later." Punk hissed, flying off on his guitar.
This whole mess had started that morning. They were fighting with the titans, everything was normal, then the Boy Wonder (or the Boy Blunder, as Blackfire had nicknamed him) threw one of his bo staffs at Johnny's chest- hard.
Apparently, though Robin didn't realize it, the tip had snapped off, making it deadly sharp. The sharp tip pierced his chest, and Johnny went flying backwards. Robin immediately froze. "Dude... did you just stab him?" Beast Boy said, shifting back. "Johnny!" Blackfire shrieked, diving towards the rubble where he fell in.
Johnny pulled himself out. "Right, bird boy, NOW I'm pissed." Johnny pulled a laser gun and shot both Robin and Starfire, luckily not killing them. Blackfire stopped and said, "Johnny?" Johnny pulled loose the staff and didn't even attempt to cover the wound. No blood was pumping out of it. "I'm outta here, guys."
Johnny walked towards his bike and began driving off. But not before everyone got a nice look at the hole.
It was just eerie. A sorta blackish substance covered the showing bone. And you could see his chest was empty.
That afternoon, See-More and Billy stood outside Johnny's door, fidgeting. "Your going in." "No way." Billy and See-More glared at each other. Then Punk Rocket walked up to them and glared. "You two! Leave Johnny alone." He scolded.
"All you guys shut the hell up. And I might as well tell up, so get in here you two." Billy and See-More shot a look of terror at each other, but walked in, Punk following.
Johnny was sitting at his desk. His chest was thankfully bandaged up, but the purpose was to hide the hole rather than anything else.
See-More bit his lip nervously. "So, I'm pretty sure your going to ask about this." Johnny began, pointing towards his chest. Billy and See-More nodded. "Okay. I'll just say it, I don't have a heart. I never had one. I'm not sure why. So don't ask."
Billy then blurted out, "What about the black stuff?" Johnny looked amused for a second. "I don't know what that is either, its probably a blood replacement." Johnny said.
They nodded. See-More asked, "You gonna be okay?" Johnny nodded. "I'm pretty sure the human traffic light is having a freak out though." He said, grinning. See-More snickered. "Yeah, did you see his face when you stood up? I would kill for a picture of it." See-More said.
The three laughed for a couple seconds. "Thanks for the explanation man." See-More and Billy walked out.
Punk shook his head in amazement, then thought of something. "Hey, Johnny." Johnny looked at him. "Hmm?" He mumbled. "I couldn't help but notice... you don't have lungs either, do you?" Johnny shook his head no. "Then why do you breath?"
Johnny thought for a second, then gave a bitter laugh. "Just an attempt to seem a little bit more normal, I guess. There's really no point to it. When I was a kid, people noticed something was off, so I just imitated breathing so they would get off my back. Of course, then any time I went to the doctor people would freak about the no heartbeat thing."
Punk nodded. "Are you really okay though?" He asked. Johnny nodded. "It didn't pierce anything vital, obviously enough. Just... don't bring up the heart thing too much. Tell that to the others too, alright, Tom?" Punk stuck his tongue out. "Its Punk Rocket or Thomas, not Tom. You know that pisses me off." Johnny laughed again.
Punk headed off from his friend's room.
Okay, I think Johnny was kinda OOC. But I really don't care.
Wow... 71 reviews and only 25 chapters. Color me impressed. (I think I used the saying wrong, but I don't care.)
But don't stop! Bye byes, remember to review! (You all rock!)
