I do not own DC Universe Online or Hollywood Undead
Notes From The Underground
Chapter 2: Pieces
January 4, 2014
First POV [Krystal]
I opened my eyes and sat up on my bed. I looked at the time and it was 6:45 AM. I stood up and wiped my eyes. I was still tired from last night. I had fought Scarecrow and I was entirely worn out. Nevertheless, I had to get up, regardless of the fact that I never wanted to wake up. I grabbed my MP3 player and a fresh towel before walking into the bathroom. I turned on the hot water to the shower.
I plugged my MP3 into my music speakers and looked for a song to listen to. After a minute of going through the list, I chose 'From The Ground' by Hollywood Undead. I took off my clothes and got in the shower. I shivered as the cold water ran down my bare back, but a few moments later, the water became warm. I started singing to the song as I took my time in the shower.
I can't see because I'm staring at a blank wall (blank wall)
I can't breathe because my fricking thoughts are choking me now
I can't grieve for the souls that are so lost (so lost)
I can't leave because my fricking self is holding me down
Imagine cold hands up to your throat
The thought alone makes you swallow your hope
And now it's harder to cope
And I don't know where I'll go
These fallacies I don't believe, and fear that nobody knows
It's a red night, and I don't see any light
And then a flat line, I'm finally ready to die!
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found inside my mind
Goodbye
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found up in the sky
Goodbye
Would you forgive me if I told you that I lied like you? (Fuck you!)
So full of hate, with the love to lose
Would you deny it if I asked you just to tell the truth?
'Cause in the end you gotta decide what side to choose
Imagine cold hands holding your heart
The thought alone can only tear you apart
I know you wish it would end, it's sad it's only the start
These memories, they only mean my soul is empty and dark
It's a red night, and I don't see any light
And then a flat line, I'm finally ready to die!
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found inside my mind
Goodbye
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found up in the sky
Goodbye
It's a red night (red night), and I don't see any light
And then a flat line (flat line); I'm finally ready to die!
It's a red night (red night), if it's wrong or it's right
And if I don't fight (don't fight) it's like being buried alive
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found inside my mind
Goodbye
As I look up from the ground
I see darkness all around
And I'm lost but can be found up in the sky
Goodbye
The song ended as I turned the water off. I got out of the shower and dried myself off with the towel. I put on my Hero outfit and placed my Biker glasses in my pocket. I exited my room and made my way to the cafeteria for breakfast. There weren't many heroes in the cafeteria today. But I didn't pay much attention to it as I got in line to get breakfast.
I picked up one of the metal trays and started collecting the pieces of my morning meal. I had lightly salted scrambled eggs, buttered toast, juicy bacon, and orange juice for breakfast. I took my seat at an empty table in the corner and started eating.
"Isn't this a surprise?" I lifted my head to see Raptor. He sat across from me, wearing the same outfit from the other day. The only difference was that he wasn't wearing his Gas Protection helmet, revealing his very short, dark brown hair. He had white eyes and lightly tan skin. "I haven't seen you for three days. How've you been?"
"I'm fine. My experience level is now 15. I also fought Scarecrow last night and I was worn out afterwards." I simply explained before taking a sip of orange juice.
"Try taking on Deathstroke, Killer Croc, and Metallo all at once, and then we'll compare notes." Raptor replied before continuing. "They're just lucky that they used the teleporter."
We talked for 30 minutes and it was enjoyable. After we had finished our meals, Raptor went to the Training Room while I decided to walk around the Watchtower. I noticed one of my friends, Drew Ashford, also known as Spark, working on one of the terminals in the Control Center.

"Hey, Drew." He looked at me as I started walking towards him.
"Oh, hey, Kate. I haven't seen you since New Year's Eve. How have you been?" He asked curiously.
"I'm fine. I've leveled up a couple times, fought some Brainiac drones, and caught Scarecrow. How are you and your tempered little sister doing?" I asked. Drew has a 22-year old sister, named Adrianne, who has a bit of a temper and an experience level of 20.

"We're doing alright. Adrianne loses her cool from time to time, but we manage." Drew explained as I smiled in amusement. Suddenly, someone bumped into me while running by.
"Whoa, sorry." I noticed that there were other heroes running in the same direction.
"What's going on? Where's everyone running to?" I curiously asked.
"Raptor and Blaze are squaring off on the Training Room floor. Most of us are going to watch." The hero ran off as Drew and I looked at each other.
"Let's go make sure she doesn't kill the guy." He said, concerned.
"Yeah, right behind you." I replied as we started sprinting through the halls of the Watchtower.
