The Gemini
Chapter 2
Scarlett was growing tired, so ventured to the room she had been staying in ever since she returned in town. She was having trouble living at home since it was too far from visiting her friends. She learned when she was younger that she was adopted by her Aunt and instead of figuring out why, she left after learning her birth parents were murdered she strayed away because of the fear the murderers would be near.
No matter how Scarlett tried to erase that away from her memories of not being able to meet her parents, she moved forward.
Meanwhile,
Rose was wandering around at night trying not start trouble or not to get noticed. She found that working for Victor was not always a good thing. He was a evil guy, but somehow she found him just troubled.
She never seen him as the murderer like everyone else did. But then again he wasn't humble.
She took these times to get away from it. As she entered the club that had thumping music, she couldn't help but feel at ease. That was until a guy come up to her calling her a name she didn't recognize.
"Hey, Scarlett?" The man said, when she looked at the man and didn't recognize him, she was a little confused.
As she spared him, by walking away thinking he probably was drunk. He grabbed her arm, and she felt some kind of heat emitting from his grip.
Whilst,
Scarlett was trying to sleep, when all she could hear was Sue fumbling around looking for her brother Johnny Storm. She become frantic when she opened the door and didn't see him in his bed or anywhere in his room. She crept off her bed and opened the door a crack. And saw the frustrated Sue walk back to her room.
It was unlike Johnny to be out this late, even when he was sober. He didn't want to worry Sue after the close death experience with the whole Silver Surfer thing. Scarlett didn't know much about that, but only from what she heard from them.
Scarlett grew worried, because she had a dream of Johnny getting a confrontation with a few people and they didn't seem to like good company because he was severely injured by the mob of people. Back in the dream, he was left in a coma, but almost wasn't discovered unconscious until almost too late.
Meanwhile,
Rose ripped the strangers hand off her and flipped him over so that he landed on his back. "What the heck, Scarlett?!" The man cried.
Rose looked at the guy and noticed he was definately was drunk. He slurred his words and looked so helpless while trying to get up from off the ground. Rose decided she would take him to his home as she figured he was harmless enough to do so.
All the way to his home which she knew because of his wallet that she uncovered, he keep confusing her for someone else. She ignored his rant, only to find that the ride had stopped in front of the Baxter Building. She was amazed by the structure and heard many things about the building she couldn't place.
The man struggling to get out of the ride, almost fell out. She hated when people couldn't take care of themselves. Or weren't alert because they could very well become victims.
As she supported the man till he was at the main entrance and the doorman distracted by the collapsing man, caught him. But didn't see Rose as she left.
All of a sudden,
Scarlett heard the elevator bell ding. She ran over to the elevator, and saw a haggard Johnny holding on the rail of the elevator. Scarlett noticed he wasn't alright and pulled him inside. Johnny then said something that confused her, "How did you get up the elevator so fast?"
Scarlett was in her room waiting for him to come home so that Sue would rest.
She took him to his room and helped him to his bedroom. Scarlett was a little upset. Mainly for he was still worried about everything changing since.
Flashback,
"Why are you drinking again?" Scarlett pondered worriedly taking away his bottle of booze. When she looked at him she saw his expression. She noted that what happend during the SS sitution would have changed everything between his sister and him and she knew it. She threw the empty bottles of liquor in a waste basket, then she sat down next to him.
"You know you don't have to hide from me. Not even your sister." Scarlett commented.
"I am not hiding, I just hate how everything's changing, " Looking next to himself he continued; " Sue getting married, Ben moving out to be with Alicia." He stopped. Scarlett did understand as she felt alone too, but still she couldn't fix it. She was in full with her own grief. Scarlett only thought she was alone, that was until she talked to him. She then realized that Johnny wasn't like what people see him as.
End flashback
Scarlett thought about what he said before as she left his sleeping form and went to sleep. Sue grew tired and fell asleep still not knowing Johnny was back.
