The next morning, I sit up and stretch. The only reason I know it's morning… intuition, I suppose.
I roll off the couch and stand. A soft growling sounds and I spin around. "Who's there?" I snarl. I don't sense anyone. The growl sounds again and I glance down to my stomach, which rumbles in response. I sigh and shake my head. "Having a body is so weird." I strut over to the kitchen and dig around in the fridge. I glance over the abundant food that inhabits the cooling box. "Hmmm…." I grab a piece of uncooked steak and drop it on the counter. Summoning a ball of ki to my hand, I envelope the meat in the glowing ball for a moment. The ball vanishes, leaving rare steak on the counter. Plopping the hunk of beef on a plate, I return to the couch and lazily tear into the meat.
Dominique walks out of the the hallway, yawning. "Morning." she says. I nod, biting into my breakfast again, blood dribbling down my wanders over to the kitchen, opening the fridge. I swallow the last bite of meat, wiping the back of my arm across my mouth. "We've got things to do today, so no slacking off." "What kind of things?" Dominique's tail wags from the fridge as she digs through the food. I sit up and stretch my arms over my head with a chuckle. "Well, first, we're gonna stop by my buddy, Barry the Chopper, and see what he's up too, then we're gonna stick with whatever he's doing, because stuff I don't wanna miss is gonna happen."
Dominique glances over her shoulder at me with a confused look, a piece of bread in her mouth. "Hmm?" I sigh again. "I've got personal shit to deal with, you don't have to come if you'd rather not, but I'm still gonna go harass my "big sister"." I chuckle at the thought of Lust getting what she deserves.
Dominique carries an armload of food to the couches and drops the whole thing on the coffee table. "I'll come, don't get your panties in a bunch." I growl and stand. "I'll be in my room. Come get me when you're done."
She shrugs and digs into the food. I roll my eyes and head into my room, closing the wall behind me.
The moment I flop onto the bed, my chest scrunches up like my heart was going to burst into a thousand pieces. My blood suddenly pounds in my ears and sobs and voices echo in my head. I can feel my eyes widen and my pupils dilate. "What the hell?" I hiss under my breath as I struggle to calm my mind down. My hands clench around my ears as my body curls into a ball.
"-meant to-"
"-then leave."
"-don't come back!"
"-like you actually care-"
"-not true!"
"-abandoned-"
"Give me another chance!"
"-didn't choose-"
"-why did you-"
"-trusted you-"
"-enough chances!"
"-forget you before-"
"Just don't leave me!"
I blink in confusion as the whiteness surrounds me. I haven't seen this kinda place since the void….
The sound of heart wrenching sobs echo about me. Who in the hell…
"I-I'm...I'm sorry!"
I can feel my whole body tense. Am I...Am I in the dreamscape? But...how…
…
…
…
Lisa.
I spin on my heel to see said girl curling into a ball on the ground, sobbing grossly. Her whole body shakes from the force of her crying. "You little…" I grumble and stride closer before kneeling beside her. "I swear, you have more problems than any human should, powers or no." I sigh and pat her shoulder. She relaxes just a bit.
After a moment of her sobbing calming down, she sniffles and peeks up at me from behind her arm. "L-lil?" She winces. I sigh and sit down next to her. "The fuck are you doing here, you stupid brat?" I ask, keeping my voice annoyed. She sits up, rubbing her hand across her face. "I-I was… recovering…" I chuckle and lay an arm over one knee. "I didn't beat you up that bad." I can't help but glance at her, slightly nervously. A small smile pulls on her face, making the tear streaks almost fade. She giggles and bumps her shoulder to mine. "I was out all night because of you." I roll my eyes and push her away. "Oh shut up, you fucking weeb."
It remains quiet between us and I almost want to say that I enjoy the strange calmness. We've never been able to exist close by without arguing before...what's changed?… Her? Me?... We've both changed a lot now that I think of it. She once was the very definition of light. Happy, smiley, and glowing with some form of righteousness. But now there's an underlying fear and sadness in her. She's still heartbroken from when she lost him.
I think I'm going to kill that damned Pharaoh the next time I see him.
Then again, when we met him and his crew, I was a feral beast, only wanting to destroy and kill. Look at me now, an evil mastermind with a whole plan to destroy everything and everyone. Of course, I'll leave Lisa alive after I've destroyed everyone else. Who else would rebuild the universe into a world where even I could be happy? No one I know or care for… not that I ACTUALLY care about anyone…
"So… What've you been up to since we, uh,..."
"Since we split?" I offer. She nods, smiling crookedly. I sigh and move my legs so my knees are in the air before propping my arms on them. "Whelp!" I say. "To be honest, I've done some shit you'll hate me for, so I'll spare you that part." I chuckle, rubbing the back of my neck. God only knows she'd throw a big fit or go into shock and pass out… in her own fucking dream…
"I met this chick, some kinda human-wolf chimera thing. She moved in with me in my little bunker thing." She looks at me with a wide eyed stare.
"Wow Lil. I didn't know you swung that way."
I gasp, 'Why in the hell would she think that!', before punching her in the arm as hard as I can. Lisa yelps, rubbing her arm. "Ow! Teh fuck Lillian!" I glare, feeling my bottom lip pucker out. "I do not 'swing that way' or any other way!"
"But aren't you and SO* going out… Or… whatever the hell you call that two thing you two have…"
A small small tugs on my lips at the thought of SO*. Motherfucker, that man is something. Cold blooded and every bit as malicious as I am. That voice of his doesn't hurt either. Only problem is that he's not so much violent as I am.
"We have a mutually beneficial partnership in which we assist each other in terrifying, maiming, and driving people insane. He has some weird "Justice"-y thing he has to abide by, but me, well…" I chuckle and rub my chin. "You know how I am."
"But X** keeps saying she's seen you two making out." I nearly fall over in surprise. "What?! X**?! She doesn't even speak English! Or any understandable language, for that matter!"
Lisa open her mouth to say something when she jumps, eyes widening in surprise, before frantically looking around, searching. "The fuck?!" I feel my eyebrows move towards my nose. "Are you alright Lisa?" She blinks and frowns, rubbing one hand over her head. "I could've sworn I just heard…"
"There it is again!" She shouts, jumping to her feet and spinning around. I frown. 'It's probably blondie.' I shrug. "Probably your new boyfriend tryin' to wake you up." I snicker as she turns red in the face. "Oh shut up!"
"Dark!" That's Dom.
I stand and stretch my arms over my head. "Whelp, that means I oughta get going too. I can hear my wake up call anyways."
"Dark!"
I sigh and drop one hand on Lisa's head, ruffling her hair. She's always had incredibly soft hair. I frown and look down at her. Lisa pouts and pushes my hand aside, stopping when she notices my expression.
"Lisa, be careful around that asshat." I warn her. "He tries anything to hurt you again, and so help me I'll rip his tiny head off." I can feel some feral beast inside me struggle to get out at the thought of that boy. Lisa's face contorts in confusion. "O-okay."
I feel a smile draw across my face, one that only ever happens because of her. "Good. Now get out of her before I go bipolar bitch on you."
-end dreamscape vision-
"Darkness! Are you alright in there?!"
"Fucking Peachy!" I shout, annoyed by the fact that she's STILL going. "I took a nap, what time is it?" I sit up, rubbing my head while muttering curses. "Something close to noon, why?" I hop out of bed and stretch before opening the door/wall. Dom nearly falls, yelping in surprise. "Warn me before you do that!" she snaps. I chuckle and shoot her a fake look of "oh no". "I'm opening my door, Dom." I say sarcastically. "Watch out." She growls as I throw my head back, laughing.
I turn and lean my back to the wall. "Alright, let's go find Barry."
-later-
I skid to a stop on a rooftop close by the building Falman and Barry are. "There." I point to it as Dom lands beside me. "Not much to look at." she says. I nod. "That's because the guy keeping him there is "undercover" or some shit." I tell her.
We both sniff at the air. Dom's nose scrunches up as she clamps her hand over it. "Oh god, what is that SMELL?!" I smirk and clench my fist. "Looks like we made it just in time for the fun to start." I laugh loudly as the humans and Barry come gallivanting out the front door. The stinking revived body slides on the ground, avoiding the smoker's bullets before jumping at him. "C'mon Dom!" I whoop. "Let's join the party!" The living carcass flies aside as the Hawk's bullet pierces his hand. The group of mortals approach the fleabag. "Yo Bar-ray!" I shout, jumping down. Barry turns around, waving one knife-ax over his head. "Hey, it's you! Was wonderin' when I'd see you again!" I smirk and jog over. "I see things are getting interesting around here." I turn and grin at where I can sense the blonde woman's ki. "And you brought momma bear along for the ride I see."
"NOT YOU AGAIN!" I glance back to see Falman hiding behind Barry. "You know this chick?!" Havoc demands, pointing his gun between me and Barry's old meat bag. I grin. "Whether you know it or not, you both met me a long time ago." Havoc and Falman's eyes widen. "WHAT?!"
I chuckle and cross my arms, blue static crackling around my body. "Let's use the face you'll actually recognize." I change back into Lisa's physical form. I smirk, keeping my red eyes. "Recognize me now?"
They both gasp, jumping back slightly. "L-Lisa?! What the hell?!" I sigh and change back to my preferred form. "I used to be a part of Lisa, but now I'm not. That's all I'm saying until after we take care of much more important business." I crack my knuckles. "So, everyone, before we start." Dominique drops from a nearby rooftop, landing beside me. Havoc whistles, looking her up and down. "This is my new buddy, Dominique. Dom, the suit of walking armor there's Barry the Chopper, some kinda murder a few years back or something." Barry waves. Dom chuckles and shrugs. "Alrighty then." I gesture to the other two. "And them two's military guys I couldn't give any shit about."
"HEY!" they shout as Dom snickers.
"Anyways!" I point to the rotting man. "So that's what'cha used to look like Barry?" "Wait what?" The military guys look confused. "That's my old meat sack alright!" Barry says, suddenly launching into a rant about chopping up his own flesh… sounds interesting…
"These people are incredibly strange…" Dom whispers. I nod. "Yeah, but things are interesting around them so-"
A bright light flashes in the sky, startling the others. The beast-man makes a break, dashing past the men. Dom goes to tackle him but I grab her arm. "Let him run." I hiss. "He's going to lead us straight to my dear big sister where we'll do what we came to do and then we're out of here. Won't be long." She frowns but nods.
Barry dashes after his body, swinging his only arm while cackling like a mad man. I grin and take a skipping step backwards. "Sorry Gents, but that piece 'o trash is my ticket back to see some family." I bow and swing my arm in a dramatic flourish before spinning around and running after Barry. Dom runs up beside me, loping along like a wolf running in it's pack. I smirk at her. "You better keep up, cause I ain't waitin' on ya." She chuckles. "Oh trust me, I have no intentions of being left behind."
-close to midnight-
Barry stops outside one a large white building that reeks of chemicals and evil. Not the best mix, but I'd totally use that as perfume.
"You're sure it went in there?" asks pretty boy. "Yes it fucking went in there. I can still smell it." I snap at him, my lips pulling into snear. Roy-boy frowns at me before turning back towards Barry. I swing my legs between the bars of the fence, enjoying the view from the top of it.
All four of them peek around the corner at the door to the facility, making me nearly fall over from how stupid they all look. "What the fuck, ou freaks?! This isn't Scooby fucking Doo!" I shout. Al yelps and tugs on my foot. "Please don't shout!" he whisper-yells. Riza shoots me a glare, to which I grumble and look away from.
"We're pulling back." says Flame just as Barry dashes off, laughing his head off. The smoker shouts after him. I grin and fall backwards off the fence. "C'mon Dom! The fun's going off without us!" She cackles and we both run after him.
Barry pushes past military people without so much as a care as to what they see. Dom and I, on the other hand, push and shove people, whooping and hollering as we shove them into walls, carts and various other shit. "SUCK IT BITCHES!" I shout, grinning. We follow Barry down an empty hallway and watch him attempt to clamber through a hole in a chain-link fence. "Oh for the love of-" I kick his metal butt through. He falls on his face, scrambling to his feet. "THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" he shouts as Dom hops through and I slip through with ease. "Alright Barry, go find your body, we're go find my Big Sister." I smirk as Dom cracks her knuckles. Barry shrugs and turns around, running off down the left hall. I motion to Dom and we stroll down the right.
