My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Yami's Journey, part 3: Haunted
Joey was the first one to rush into Serenity's room and immediately sat by her bedside. While Tea, Kaiba, Kirsty and Yami came in behind him.
"Is she going to be okay?" Yami asked.
"Yes, she'll be fine after some rest," Tea replied. "Although…"
"Although what?" Kaiba asked.
"When I looked into her mind, it was blank. No sight at all, just sounds and smells for memory."
"What are you getting at?" Joey asked as he held his sister's hand.
"Well, when I thought something wasn't right here, I checked her eyes, and…"
"And what?"
"She's blind."
Suddenly there was silence in the room as Joey, Kaiba and Joey's mouths dropped.
"Wow…" Joey said after a while. "How can she be a superhero if she is blind?"
"You don't always need your sight to see you know," Kaiba replied.
"Yeah, I know, but…I've just never heard of a blind hero before."
"I have," Kirsty said as she looked down at Serenity.
"Who is she then?" Kaiba asked.
"Her name is Daredevil, she was a normal child until the age of thirteen were she was involved in a terrible accident involving radioactive isotope which made her lost her sight in the process. However there was at least some goodness that had come out of it. Her remaining senses sharpened to superhuman strength, this includes her senses of smell, taste, hearing, and touch. Then after another incident, Serenity swore to her self that she would seek justice and stand up for those who couldn't."
"Wow, poor Serenity," Joey said as he stroked her hand. Kirsty then turned to Kaiba who was in deep thought.
"What's the matter Kaiba? Did I say something that reminded you of something?" Kirsty teased, but Kaiba just walked out of the room in silence, past Yami. Suddenly, Tea noticed something on his hand.
"Yami, are you bleeding?" she said as she saw his hand with blood all down it, Yami looked down at it as well.
"That must be Serenity's from when he carried her here," Joey said. "Isn't that right?" But Yami did not respond, he just kept on, shakily, starring at his bloody hand. "Yami?"
"I…I…I," he mumbled, but suddenly a scream echoed though his mind. "Got to go!"
And with that, using his super speed, he was suddenly gone.
"What's eatin' him?"
"I don't know," Tea replied. "But I'd sure like to find out…"
