Green Day owns the rights to the song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
Broken Dreams
After I had dropped of the body of the young man and his girlfriend I decided that tonight would be a good night for a walk on the street. As I walked though a song began to play in my head, I had heard it on the radio earlier, it was by a rock group, and it played well into my night.
I walk a lonely road
The only one I that have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But its home and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
It's words played over in my head as I pulled my trench coat from it's hiding spot I placed it in earlier. I took notice of the people on the streets, but they ignored me. In this city of more people than anyone could ever know everyone was alone and I was no different.
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I'll walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And were I walk alone
The night was definitely most depressing here. There was no calmness about it really, more like an extended fear, but from what I couldn't tell. It was as if the city simply feared the night, like it would bring an irreversible damnation upon them. If it weren't for the simple pervasive feeling of fear from every human I crossed I would have thought it was pathetic.
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and every things all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk alone
Then it hit me, I was feeling the emotions of others. Something that could only be done when HOMe was around and where HOMe was the X-Men where. Had SHIELD contacted them after they told me what they really wanted me to do? I wouldn't have doubted it, not one bit.
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find
Till then I'll walk away!
The song in my head ended as something I wish could have been avoided happened. The leader of the X-Men rounded the corner with his girlfriend, and they saw me just as clearly as I saw them, behind them came HOMe, who had been public knowledge for some months now, and Kitty with her boyfriend Lance in tow. They all froze at the sight of me and I began to back up as police sirens came from behind me. Scott connected them immediately.
"What did you do!" He yelled at me as he took a hold of his glasses.
"What I do naturally kid." My eyes were a cold sight then.
"You're alive." Kitty said not quit getting the fact that I was the reason for the sirens and looking between HOMe and I with astonishment. "But how?"
I wasn't going to explain it to her, but it didn't matter as I wouldn't have had the time because just as I was about to open my mouth a certain annoying detective came skidding to a halt behind me and popped out of her car, gun upholstered.
"FREEZE, VILE!" Detective Maza shouted. I ignored her as I moved to cross the street. "I said freeze, or I'll shoot!"
"What!" Jean Grey said in shock, "What did he do?"
I spoke up then, "Two 'Friends' and two scum in purple suits. Four funerals in the morning."
"What?" The red head said in a gasp. I noticed Kitty just shook her head and HOMe simply bowed his head in sadness. "Why?"
"Ask, the detective." I said as I took a dash into a nearby alley and disappeared down a sewer grate. I had no time for them, Leto had to be dealt with.
"WHAT IS GOIN ON HERE!" Scott Summers found himself loosing his temper.
"Your friend there just killed four people." The officer said with a scowl.
"Some how I'm not surprised." Scott said. "And I'm not surprised. Well I am surprised he's alive, but not surprised that he's killing people."
"Well if you seem him again, let me know ok. He needs to be taken in." The officer said.
No. HOMe said as he pushed past the officer with Kitty following behind him.
"What did that just say?" The officer looked confused.
"It's just HOMe being HOMe, he's not going to turn Vile in and he won't let us turn him in either. Sorry." Jean said as she hurried after HOMe and Kitty.
"She's right HOMe would never forgive us if we told you were Vile was…" Scott said, "The best I can do is to tell you that he usually finds religious people to talk to, at least according to HOMe." Scott walked past the officer too. "Good luck, you're gonna need it."
"Yeah, thanks…" The officer said. "A lot."
