Author's Note: I do realize i have been gone for like, ever, but i do apoligsze. I kinda didn't know where to go with the story and kinda was busy having a life with my friends and dealing with school and boring stuff like that, but the other day i got an idea for the story that was nothing like i originally planned, but sometimes you have to go with your gut, so here my friends... Devour this chapter and then review and tell me what you thought. :)
Party surveyed his surroundings, white walls, white bed, white everything. What was this place he was in? He searched for answers to questions which his mind did not possess. Was this heaven? Because it's sure not how he'd pictured it. Then again, Party's image of heaven was a vast landscape stretching miles in every direction and God was a cowboy, telling him "how they did things 'round here" Maybe his depiction wasn't exactly spot-on, but it entertained his mind.
He heard the door open and a woman in all white walked in and greeted him with a friendly smile, tender eyes, and most importantly a heaping plate of food for him to devour the second she walked out of the room.
"Good Afternoon, Mr. Way, it's nice to see that you're staying awake this long, that's an improvement from last time,"
Last time? How long had he been out? Now he was starting to get an idea of how Sedative felt, waking up in unknown surroundings and not being able to recall how much time had passed.
He spoke up," What do you mean, 'last time'? How long have I been out?"
"All of that is of no importance right now. All of your questions will be answered later, upon your meeting with our boss."
"Mhmm, so one more question. Where the fuck am i?"
She nodded, clearly upset by his choice in words and responded, "I can tell you this much, We are an organization called SEE. I am just a nurse aiding you and helping to get you back to full health.,"
He nodded," I see.," and laughed silently to himself, seeing that obviously the nurse did not share his sense of humor.
"Now if you need anything else give me the signal," She motioned to a button that he assumed told her that he needed assistance, it felt like an airplane, "and if that's all, I'll be leaving now."
When she walked out of the room, Party reached and devoured his food, he was so starving. He ate it all in what seemed like minutes, then he laid back on the white bed and lost himself in his thoughts. He thought about his killjoys, how had the battle ended? Or was it still going on? Had he lost any of his family? He couldn't bear the thought that one of them had died, but before he could depress himself anymore with the thoughts of the raging battle, the nurse came back in and told him to follow her, he was going to talk to her boss now.
He followed her down a long hallway, lined with rooms that looked exactly like his, he didn't get much of a chance to see if anyone else was in them, but he thought he saw a few. They approached an elevator and she hit the up button. The awkward silence was beginning to kill him, so he spoke up and said, "So… Miss, What should I call you?,"
She responded, "My name is Alexandria, but you can call me Alex, it means defender of mankind, and that's exactly what I aim to do," she preached.
"Interesting, well I am-"
"Gerard Way…I know who you are,"
"Oh, alright then." He shrugged.
The elevator opened to let them up and they rose from the basement floor that they were previously on, to the fifth, and what looked like top floor of the building. She led him to an office where she knocked three times and was told to come on in. A man sat at a large desk and two chairs sat in front of him, it felt like being sent to the principal's office.
"Gerard, I'm so glad you're feeling better, please, sit down, there is much to tell you, " He said with a grin.
He sat and Alex took the seat next to him, as the man began to talk.
"Well, there is a lot to be told, Mr. Way, but let me start by introducing myself. My name is Charlie and I run this place that you know as SEE. Well you probably are more familiar with my brother, Korse. Yes, my brother and I have always had disagreements, but when I found out what he was doing over at BLI/nd, I couldn't stand back and watch it happen."
He nodded though every inch of him had a question, but there's always a feeling of cowardliness when faced with someone who is in a position of authority.
"Let me be more clear," he continued, "When I found out what my brother was doing over at BLI/nd, I swore to myself that I would find a way to put a stop to it. I didn't know about the killjoys, but now I see that we had the same goal, just different means of getting to it. I established this organization called SEE and recruited everyone who wanted freedom and liberty, that is the people who hadn't eaten too many of the pills and those who had enough grip on reality to realize what was going on. SEE stands for Saving Earth's End, I purposely used that word as to oppose BLI/ nd, because I determine to open the eyes of people and make them SEE."
He finally voiced his confusion and asked, "So you are like the killjoys?"
"See that's the thing, we're like the non-violent killjoys. My method is a shot that our doctors here have developed that clears the BLI pills from your system and that way we can explain to the people what exactly is going on."
"But dracs are the shittiest things to walk the earth, they're barely human and a shitload of fun to fight. Have you ever seen a killjoy fight?"
"Yes, Gerard, but under the masks they are people, hyped up on BLI pills and though fighting gives you that amazing feeling, doesn't it get tiring? Wouldn't you want to, I dunno, settle down and have a family? What about that girl, Taylor? A drac shot you in the head, Gerard and you were dead for a whole minute before Alex here got to you with medical supplies and brought you back here, so tell me, Isn't there more to life than fighting dracs and living on the edge? Think about it,"
"Wait. She brought me here. Is this how you know so much about us? You were spying on us?" He demanded.
"Well, yeah, it was the only way to know what the killjoys were truly about. Any more questions?"
Party sat and thought, long and thoroughly. How did he picture his future? Maybe it was time to stop playing this game of cops and robbers and really just accomplish what they all dreamed of, true freedom, like there was before.
"Yeah I have two questions. How do I get back to my family? And how the fuck are we going to make this successful?"
