Track 65: Butterfly – Crazy Town
He looked up into the sky from the shadow of the building he was standing under – straight into the blinding sun with a grin on his face, as the already dim area around him was suddenly black-lit by the intensity of the sun.
But he didn't mind though, he was looking for someone – someone who he knew was tearing up the sky during her daily patrol.
Buttercup.
He found it almost ironic that he was actually looking to catch a glimpse of her, when normally he would have tried to avoid her at all costs. But things were different now.
He had secretly been struggling with his own identity and with his purpose in life, and had been gradually becoming more and more destructive to his surroundings as he struggled to figure himself out. She had gotten tired of his games, but more importantly: she saw straight through him. It was then, that she decided to take a chance on the now twenty-four-year-old X powered being, and set him straight close to a year ago. Now they were something far more than just former nemeses.
She had come into his life like a sunbeam and brought him back from the brink of a dark abyss, giving him purpose in his life once again – giving him the guidance that he had so desperately required at the time.
A bright green streak, accompanied by a sonic boom in the sky above made him smirk. There she was. His favorite Puff. His little spitfire.
He shot up into the sky and out of the dark alleyway without a second thought and bolted after her until reached out and tapped her on the shoulder, startling her.
"What's up sunshine?"
"Oh, it's you. I was wondering where you've been. You've been quiet lately." She slowed down just enough so they could fly side by side, leaving two different streaks of green behind them. "So, what's up?"
"Just wondering if a hot mama like yourself would like to accompany me out to dinner and a movie. After all, I still owe you for helping me out last year."
She rolled her eyes at his antics. "You're ridiculous."
"and your sexy."
"Touché."
"So you gonna come with me or what babe?"
She bit back a laugh and looked at him out of the corner of her eye. "Yeah, yeah I'm down. I'll see you after I'm done patrolling."
"Great." He leaned over and planted a kiss on her cheek. "See you later sunshine." He crowed with a laugh as he shot off in the opposite direction, leaving her staring after him, shaking her head with the faintest of smiles on her face.
Secretly – she was glad that she had taken a chance on him. As unpredictable as he was, he had yet to disappoint her.

The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
I used to think that happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead
You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
