Bolt: The Super Human
Chapter 2: Meet Mittens
* In an old and half rundown apartment building, NY*
There in a worn down brown couch laid a sleeping petite teen whose name was Susie Mia Valentine or Mittens. Her long black hair covered the side of her face as she slept on top of her right arm and her body to the side.
As a loud explosion sounded off of the TV jolting her awake as alertness quickly set in. She on impulse grabbed the frame of the couch faster then humanly possible, shifting her body off the couch and landing on her feet on the other side of the couch.
Panting and with a wild look in her wide green eyes she surveyed her cruddy apartment to find the source of her sudden wake up, only to sigh in relief when she sees the TV she had forgotten to shut off last night.
Mittens laughed when she caught a sight of herself on the broken mirror that hanged from the wall close to the bolted locked door, her black hair had come undone from the braid she had done just before falling asleep the night before and three sizes too big of a white T-shirt was all crumbled up and covering her night shorts. Her laugher was cut of short when angry pounding started against her door "Hey! You little shit! You still haven't paid me my rent! Open this door!" Mittens rolled her eyes at her name calling, like she hadn't heard that before! She scoffed and turned to walk away from the shaking door to the small bathroom to shower but stopped when she heard the most annoying jiggle that was ever invented.
"Meow! Meow! Give me more of this food!" See when you buy this fantastic cat food, your cat will love you more! So quickly go the nearest pet store to buy Dr. Calico's finest…" Mitten shut off the TV and made her way back to the bathroom, still ignoring the pounding on the door with a small whistle.
Bolt didn't know how long he had been stuck in that wooden container but happy that he had found a way to get to New York after hearing two assistants talking about shipping one of Dr. Williams inventions, that and that the container was big enough for him to be sitting down with his back pressed against the wooden wall and his legs to be stretched out before him after he took out the invention.
His big black backpack sat across his dark blue jean covered lap that was filled with a few change of clothes and small devices that he needed to find Penny and dad as while with a few food bars and two large bottle of water. Bolt was a little nervous this being the first time out into the world but his determination to find his family was stronger, he wouldn't let them down and break his promise to Penny. "Wait Penny. I'm coming." he whispered sadly.
*In an old and half rundown apartment building, NY
Mittens freshly showered and changed started to pack her belongings onto her army imprinted backpack. In all truth she didn't have that much just her clothes, hygienic necessities and a few possession that she had since she was little, being on the run and moving form place to place Mittens found that it was easier to take the bare necessities with her and leave the rest behind and it seemed that the time had come again to keep moving forward! Spotting the clock she smirked evilly she still had enough time to make it before the local high school was let out. "Poor Dear Joey, He'll sure miss me when I'm gone." she mocked "Well it was fun while it lasted." she said to herself cheerfully.
Bolt tried to keep himself from jiggling too much by pressing his hands against the side of the walls. Unfortunately for him the wooden grate got smacked against the ship's side causing it to crack, weakening it to not to be able to withstand his weight for long and smacking him against the wooden wall face first.
After what felt like a few hours the grate started to land, making Bolt smile in relief but soon that smile was wiped off when he heard the wood splintering from underneath him. Bolt had only enough time to gulp before the grate broke sending him down in what seem to be a warehouse. Thanking his luck that he landed on Styrofoam instead of the hard floor after that pretty long fall.
Confused Bolt looked around the warehouse in search for the for the sliding door or at least the pad key tablet, Sure he didn't know the pass code to open the door but he would bark at that door when it came.
Checking to make sure the coast was clear from the angered landlord, Mittens quickly made her way to the high school.
Once there she sat down on the usual spot for her, and it seems that she made right on time too she noted as the bell rang releasing the teens out of the hell hole people called high school.
When a boy with dark brown hair and slightly chubby nervously peered around the corner leading to the back of school Mittens smirked a little she stood up then pressed her left shoulder against the brick wall " Hey Joey! My Boy!" she shouted happily causing the boy to jump up in surprise and fear. Mittens grinned "Well, what have got for me this time?" she implored lazily as she started to pick at her nails. Joey started to fidget around as he tried not to look scared "I…um, I ,I did… didn't don't have any money today!."
Mittens stiffened a bit and put her hand down as she narrowed her eyes slightly "What. Did. You. Say?" she asked him making him fidget even more as he almost peed his pants. " You know I can have the Mafia on top of your parents' store. It'd be such a shame to have that nice book store be, you know…" she paused for dramatic affect " messed up." he gulped as she smirked.
Joey with trembling hands reached his two front cargo pockets of his pants and pulled out all of his money to hand over.
As Mittens counted the money, Joey stepped back and turned to walk away from her but paused for a second before turning his head at her direction " One day, you'll know what this feels like. And I very much hope it'll be soon." and with that he ran having lost his nerve leaving a stunned Mittens behind.
Bolt walked around the docking area around the warehouse. The salty breeze was the first thing that hit him, having him breath it in for the first time causing him to close his eyes and let a small smile slip out. Unwittingly he activated his super hearing "Stupid Mittens! Why can't she just leave me alone and take the Mafia with her!" was what stood out against all the chatter that evaded his hearing.
Bolt opened his eyes, anger clear in them. He ran using his speed to where he heard the male voice leaving sailors and people talking about the broken warehouse door.
"Mafia! Who did you say knew the Mafia?" was the first thing Joey heard from the white blur that came to be a young male. Staring with wide eyes at Bolt " What… What will you do to her?" he asked fearfully. Bolt having had taken a hold onto Joey's shoulders when he had reached him let go and started to pace angrily at the thought of being close to making the mafia pay for taking Penny away "Make her pay for what she has done!" he growled. Joey blinked then a creepy smile appeared across his lips. Stepping closer to Bolt then putting his arm around his shoulder after he had stopped pacing, well he tried but Bolt was too tall for him to reach up to do it. Embarrassed Joey cleared his throat as Bolt looked at him confused at what he tried to do. "I'll take you to her. She'll probably still be at the school grounds scamming more people out of their money!" he exclaimed furiously as Bolt nodded slowly.
Mittens sighed as she put on her black baseball cap on her head as she looked around to see if somebody had seen her as she made her way to the nearby fence while that boy's words ran through her head making her scoff.
It wasn't her fault that that boy made it easy for her to get what she needed. As Mittens took two steps towards the fence she was suddenly slammed against the brick wall she was leaning on not a few minutes ago, pinning her to it by two strong hands that held her shoulders. She opened her green eyes to only look up onto two hard cold amber eyes and the two things that ran through her head was that she was going to die young and oh snap!
"Tell me what you know about Penny Williams?" he growled out to her slowly. The only response that he got was a fearful gulp from the scrawny girl in front of him "Wh… who?" she asked as something caught her eye pulling her gaze away from Bolt and onto Joey who was trying to get away. "Hey! Joey! My boy! Help me out here!" she shouted at him which made him pause "Aw! come on! Tell him I don't know what's he talking about!" she was grasping onto her last straws here and life being as funny as it was towards her, she had to ask him for help of all people. Bolt shook her lightly to get her attention again when Joey confirmed that he had the right girl.
"Idiot!" she muttered in anger as he had just fed her to the wolves!
"um.. I don't know what your taking about! I don't know any Pennys! I swear!" she was now gripping on his arm with both hands as she pleaded her life to him. Bolt shook his head at her angrily "You said that you knew the Mafia! So you must know about the kidnapping! I don't have the patience to play your games! So tell me where she is, woman!" he demanded roughly as he shook her a bit more. Fear overrode her previous anger "I seriously don't kno…" a thought had finally slipped onto her mind "Okay, Okay! Fine I'll tell you where you can find her!" she submitted to him.
*In some dirty alleyway maze*
"It's just one more Alleyway away." she said in a slightly shaking voice as her capture nodded still keeping his grip on her upper arm the same. As the Alleyway ended she made the move to turn hoping that he would get the message and he did.
As no means to escape showed or even formulated in her mind Mittens started to feel more scared as the minutes passed and her capture's poker face was getting on her nervous. Ready to try again to negotiate something caught her eyes. A slim metal pole that was resting against the alley wall behind them but close enough for her to reach it quickly.
Mittens reached into her pocket to pull out a dime and then she threw it to a trash can without trying to move as much to catch his attention. A loud clink noise was heard echoing in the surrounded silence.
At this Bolt stiffened letting go of her arm, he positioned himself in front of her and got into a fighting stance waiting for the incoming attack "Stay behind me." he ordered roughly completely missing Mittens' triumph smirk. With her quick speed grabbed the metal pole and then held it like a baseball bat, hitting him in the back of the head knocking him out. Hopefully.
Mittens sprinted out of there as fast as she could but something made her turn her head to glance back to his fallen form. Not wanting or needing her guilt at the moment she sticked her tongue out at him before going back to looking where she was going smiling, feeling happy to have been smart enough to escape yet another problem in her life without getting hurt. Sadly she didn't see the brick wall after she missed the turning point that she had just passed, so she slam right into it.
As the darkness started to win her mind all Mittens could think passed the pain was…this sucks!
