Hi everyone! This is my first fanfiction so please, be kind. Here is the first chapter of my story. It takes place a few days after Joanna killed the Skedar King. Everyone in the Carrington Institute think that Joanna is dead because they didn't have any news of her since she had been kidnapped by the Skedars . We all know that at the end of the game, Joanna and Elvis were leaving the Skedar planet and were going back to Earth. The first chapter explain what happened before Joanna arrived at the institute.
Chapter one: The return
Jonathan looked at Velvet that was waiting patiently at the helipad of the Carrington Institute(A/N: the place in the game where the Skedar ship was in mission 7). One week had passed since Joanna disappeared from the institute. Velvet didn't accept the truth yet: Joanna will never come back again. He had to convince her, Velvet rarely slept or eat since she lose her sister, she had to stop killing herself with false hopes. He silently approached her, took all his courage and say what she didn't want to hear.
-Velvet…you must stop waiting for her all this time, you're killing yourself. You must accept the truth, she won't come back anymore.
-I don't believe you, she'll be there in a few minutes I'm sure! THE TRUTH IS THAT SHE WILL COME BACK BECAUSE SHE'S PERFECT DARK, SHE'S THE BEST ! YES THE BEST, SHE'S WELL BETTER THAN YOU JONATHAN! I know you don't care about her but me , I care.
His only answer was a sigh. He didn't want to argue right now. The truth is that he actually care about Joanna. At first, he was thinking: at least, the place of the best agent of the institute was his now. But now, he realized that he had been very cruel with Jo…his Jo.
-Stupid heart, I hate you, he murmured to himself.
-What did you said, asked curiously Velvet.
-Uh…nothing…no nothing, answered Jonathan.
-Hey guys, you should leave the institute now, it's getting late, you should go home now, said Susan, the secretary.
Nor Jonathan neither Velvet paid attention of what she had just said. He always knew Joanna was better than him, but there was something that he though he had that Jo had not.
-Yes, maybe she had better skill than me, but I consider that I am well more clever than her. She's always running and shooting at her enemies at the same time. I don't consider this to be an intelligent way to arrange things reply Jonathan.
-Jonathan, you don't know who really is Joanna, you show it in your words. You have to learn the things you don't know about her, or you'll always underestimate her as you're doing right now said Velvet with a sad smile on her face.
-What are those things that I don't know about Joanna, she's not as mysterious as this asked curiously Jonathan.
-Those things that you don't know are the ten things you don't know about Joanna answered playfully Velvet.
-AM I SUPPOSED TO BE ? A GHOST OR WHAT? LEAVE THE INSTITUTE! JOANNA IS DEAD shouted Susan under the control of her anger!
Velvet looked at her with a hurt look in her eyes. Tears began to appear in her eye. Shit, Jonathan think to himself. Susan is so rude sometimes. He just wished that he never came here, at one a.m, to see if Velvet was still here. Before he had the chance to applause Susan for her legendary behavior, a strange green light appeared in the sky. They all looked at it with confusion.
-Huh?
-Wha?
-WHAT IS THAT THING?! (A/N: you already guessed that comment was coming from Susan)
-IT' A SKEDAR SHIP! QUICK, TAKE YOUR GUNS, WERE UNDER ATTACK exclaimed Jonathan.
They all pointed their guns on the ship that was arriving. They were ready to defend theirself, but they didn't shoot yet, they were waiting to see what was going to go out of this ship. They were very surprised to see who was the occupants of the spaceship. Elvis was there. He was desperately tying to help a very pale looking Joanna to get out of the ship. She seemed weakened, but really far from a dying person.
-Don't kill us, we're not Skedars, we're your friends don't you remember, asked desperately Elvis.
-OH MY GOOD! JO RETURNED FROM THE DEAD TO HUNT US! What will we d…..
Susan fell on the ground, she had fallen unconscious, to surprised by who was in front of her.
-I CAN BELIEVE IT! SIS! YOU'RE ALIVE!
The tears of sadness that were ready to fall a minute ago transformed into tears of joy. Velvet ran to her injured sister, (pushed violently Elvis away) and took her beloved sister in her arms.
-I'm so happy you're alive Joanna, I was beginning to think that you were dead.
-I'm not Velvet, because I didn't wanted to, I won't die at twenty-three, calmly replied Joanna, a small smile on her face.
Jonathan didn't say anything. At this moment, he looked very ridiculous. His eyes were open so wildly that they could fell at any moment and his mouth was shaped as a big O. He couldn't believe it! His Joanna was still alive…his beloved Jo….NO! STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS YOU STUPID ! He tried to say something, but he wasn't able to. Fuck off the first place, he say to himself. She's alive, Velvet was right, there were things he didn't know about Joanna. She wasn't just a skilled young woman. She had something else that kept her alive…something that he'll discover.
-Hey Jon said happily Velvet. Here is the first thing you need to know about Joanna: she is smarter than you think. I'm sure she hadn't run and shot everywhere to survive like this. Oh and you should bring Susan inside and when she'll wake up, explain her that Jo's really alive, not a stupid ghost.
Jonathan didn't reply. He just looked at them, entering in the institute. Before they enter, Joanna looked at him with a small smile on her handsome face. They let Jonathan alone in the dark cold night, thinking about the best way to carry Susan to the infirmary and about that smile…on her so wonderful face…that is hunting him…that made melt his poor little heart.
-Shut up you stupid he murmured to himself.
