Chapter 8
Lukess
Hours had went past, and her and I were still talking. I had found out so much stuff about her, we practically talked about everything that went on in our lives. My idea about her changed; to me she was a real fun loving person. She laughed and caused rushes of excitement, unlike other girls who are even afraid to get drunk, she goes out and kills people every day. When I was around her, I was becoming more like her. I wanted to feel rushes of excitement and I wanted t experience them with her.
I had told her all about my life. I told her how I was a loner in high school, how I went to thieving because my alcoholic mother never had a job, how I join up with Catwoman when she got me out of my mom's house when I was fifteen, I even told her some stuff about the living with Catwoman lifestyle. She was interested in everything I told her. She was finishing up about what her pet peeve was.
"... So really anyone who says anything about that gets instant slow and painful death."
"Yeah, you got to be careful around here. With some of the guys here, if they see something in a skirt, they will pounce on you." I said awkwardly.
"But I think they are starting to learn what to not say around here." She laughed.
I had to admit, I love the fact where she loved to laugh, it was contagious.
"What the fuck."
Sidesie and I both snapped our heads in the direction where we heard the voice. Standing there was six of Two-Face's henchmen, staring wide eyed at us. Both Sidesie and I did the exact same thing; I guess it was the only thing we could think of. We pulled out our guns and shot down all six of them, so they will never know of what they saw. Sidesie began to laugh at the murder. As she was laughing, I joined her in laughing at the idiots. It was actually funny. They were practically sitting ducks! They didn't really even move when we shot the first one down!
As I was still laughing, I felt a pair of lips gently touch my cheek in a kiss. I looked down at Sidesie who was blushing. I gave her a grin, "You call that a kiss?" I laughed as I pulled her in close with only one of my arms. "This is a kiss!" I exclaimed.
With a rush of excitement, I bend down over her and kissed her with a rough but passion filled force. More time I spent with her, the more alive and happy I felt. I understood why. She doesn't have much to laugh at to do around here, killing people and causing hell all around here must give you a rush of excitement. I loved the rush of being with her, it felt dangerous, like I was about to be shot down any minute.
I pulled away from her and took her hand. I twirled around, leaving her in a bit of a spin. She recovered from the spin and looked at me and swooned. "Oh Lukess." She giggled as she hugged me. I look a glance out of the window to see it was starting to get lighter.
"Meet me in Amusement Mile tomorrow night, across from the FM tower." I winked at her. I left without another word. I made my way out the back door and into Arkham City. I was little a little broken sitting area at the back of the courthouse. Out here was a couple more of Two-Faces idiots.
"It's the Dog!" Yelled one spotting me.
"Let's ripped him apart!" Yelled another one.
I was in too much of a good mood to even care. I just casually walked by them.
"Oh shut the fuck up." I said as I shot them all down and continued to walk back to Catwoman's apartment.
I climbed in through the window to find Selina watching TV on my couch. She was eating what looked like a casserole and just watching the news.
"Hey Lukess, why did it take so long to take out a couple of penguin's thugs? Is this getting too hard for you?" She said teasingly.
I rolled my eyes as I put down all of my weapons on the table sitting nearby the window.
"Sorry if it takes me so long to get from one end of Arkham to the other, and having to stop everything minute to kill someone.
Selina looked at suspiciously, "how many people have you killed tonight?" Asked Selina.
I shrugged my shoulders as I tried to recall. "About thirty, give or take." I said casually.
She sputtered on her food as she stared at me in shock. "Thirty! Don't you think you're going a bit overboard with the killing?" She exclaimed.
"Hey! Joker kills much more people than I do." I pointed out.
"Yes, but Joker doesn't kill thirty people each day." She said.
"Sidesie does." I mumbled to her.
She stared at me suspiciously. "And how would you know that?" She asked suspecting me of something.
I froze for half a millisecond afraid she caught me. But I immediately made up an excuse. "Dude, have you seen her? She kills practically every second person she sees."
Selina dropped her suspicious look. She had obviously believed my lie, thank god.
"Fair enough." She said.
I smiled at her. "Great, now get off my couch." I said jokingly.
She gave a little chuckle and got up from where she was sitting. She walked over to the kitchen and put her left over casserole in the fridge and wandered off to her room. Not suspecting anything about me and Sidesie.
