A/N Alright, now that things are kicking off I just want to say that yes, Dark Memento and Crash Kat are my own killjoys, and they are the only OCs that are in this. Again I don't own my chemical romance I just really love them. Hope you enjoy this chapter, and if you like please review.
Chapter 5
"I'm fine!" I protest, looking around for jet. They had taken me to one of the buildings and insisted on checking out my hand. I really was fine, I didn't need any medical attention, we had other priorities but they hadn't been informed about that yet. One of the killjoys, a young girl probably only 14, had told me to wait here while she went to get the med kit they had. The room was small and had two beds in the corner, then a hallway that led to the main room.
The room had been decorated with different pieces of colored paper and something like paint, causing there to be splashes of color here and there though it only covered one wall, the rest were just plain white with an occasional hole or burn mark from the ray guns. There was a table with a map of the zones, batteries, some pencils, an opened can of Powder pup and a few other small things. A jacket, pants and a white and orange mask was messily thrown over one bed, with a black jacket and bandana on the other. A few other pencils and gadgets littered the floor; among them were a small radio and a screwdriver.
Where'd the girl even go? She's been gone for 10 minutes! I sighed, sitting down on the hard chair by the table. Finally the girl appeared back in the room; she had removed her helmet and gloves, and was caring a white box that she set down on the table, sending a few pencils scattering.
"Sorry I took so long I couldn't find the med box, your friends in talking with Dark by the way." She says opening the white box, who's dark? "I did find it by the way. Uh, thanks for helping with the fight."
"Your welcome." I say, deciding not to protest. She nods then turns to face me, not looking up until she says to me;
"Can you take off your glove, uh" she looks over at the table then points to an open spot "You can just set in there."
I take off my gloves, being careful not to rub up against the wound. I take a good look at it, the burns an angry red but isn't blistered or anything.
"Well it doesn't look to bad, not the worst I've seen, I'll be back." She says then leaves the room again. I clench and unclench my fist, well, it sure as hell hurts. She enters the room again, coming back with a wet cloth that she sets down on the table and pulls up a chair.
"I'm Crash Kat by the way." She says as she sets the cold cloth on the burn, it hurts at first but soon relief comes.
"Party Poison."
We sit there silently as the cloth draws out the heat, she mainly messes with the other contents in the kit until she reaches over and takes the cloth off my hand. She pulls out a small white bottle and pulls off the lid, the contents inside are almost gone.
"Burn medicine." Is all that's said as she takes my big hand in her small one and applies it on my hand, next she grabs some gauze and starts to wrap my hand. Once she finishes she stands up, looks over her work, nods, and then starts to put the rest away.
"Just keep that on there for a few days, it shouldn't effect shooting your gun or anything. It'll heal soon."
"Thanks." I say back, she goes over to the table and puts the stuff back into the kit.
"No problem, I do it all the time." She shrugs, talking quietly. "I'll be back." Then for the third time leaves the small room. When she returns she plops down on the bed, then quickly stands up muttering something under her breath.
"Sorry, I'm not the best at talking to people." She apologizes
"You're fine." I say back, I guess I might as well try and talk to her. "How long have you guys been in the city?"
"Well, hmm…" she stops, thinking, "Well, since just after the helium wars. We fled from battery city and found this place in zone 2." She looks over to me, "What's it like out there?" she says meaning zone 6, but before I can answer two people walk into the room.
"Dark!" Crash says, her face lighting up as she walks over to him, he has blond hair and is taller than crash, for the first time I see that she's actually kind of small. He nudges her shoulder and she laughs.
"Hey Crash." He says to her then looks over at me, "Fix his hand?"
"yea."
"Good, well you'll be able to make sure he keeps those bandages on for a while." He says back, a confused look spreads across her face. I stare at jet who nods at me, they agreed to help us.
"what?" she asks, and he smiles down at her.
"We're going to help them break into Battery city."
