AN-This is my first angsty one. I don't normally do these as I normally suck at them. I much prefer the happy ever after ones. As I have said these came in randomly so my next one may be a happy one, who knows. So on the with the show, and as always I hope you like it.
"I can't be everywhere for everyone all the time.
If I could I would fix this whole world.
All I ask of you, never compromise.
Never let the leeches try to suck out your soul."

As the acid hit his chest he felt the pain, the burn, the agony as it burned deeper into his chest. This was again the killer blow. The one that would end it all, until next time. The difference being next time there would be a little piece more missing, another piece of him gone to the regeneration process. He had stopped counting now, stopped wanting to remember how many times he had been through the process. With every cycle, he remembered more but forgot more. He knew why he was there but he could never say why and never give in.
His companions help was appreciated, no matter how useless his help was. He was there, in his darkest hour when no one else was. Sleep wasn't needed, food wasn't needed, nothing was really needed in that cell. Each time the darkness engulfed him a small part of him never wanted to wake up, never wanted to relive what he was going through. Yet there was a part that knew he had to go on, there was more than just his life at stake. It was in the darkness when he saw her, saw her face, her eyes, her smile. It was then he wanted nothing more than to bust out and go home. Go back to who he was, return to what he had left behind.
Their enemies were still out there, still trying to bend the universe to their own will. He needed to fight, needed to return to the battle. He could not, would not give up. They were coming for him, he would go home and he would see her again. He would go back into the battle side by side with her to rid the world of the parasites who were trying to take away everything that was important to him. That was the reason to go on, their freedom and his future with her, not just by his side in battle but by his side in life.
