Mindi and I were driving in the car, on our way to the Warehouse.
"You're awfully quiet." I said to her.
"Sorry, didn't know what to talk about?" she said, snapping out of her trance like state.
"How about school, how was your day?" I asked.
"It was-well, it was school." She said, laughing.
"Sam seemed angry today after lunch; I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have done what I did." I replied.
"I think Sam is saying he wants to protect himself this time, stop them without your help. I see what he's coming from." Mindi said.
"Yeah, next time I'll only help if he truly needs it." I continued. I pulled into the warehouse,
"I like it when you're in control." She said, smiling. I looked at her,
"Oh do you now?" I asked, leaning over and kissing her on the lips.
"Definitely." She replied, breaking the kiss for a millisecond before diving back in.
Clothes lined like a trail to us, lying on the ground silently. Mindi and I were, for the first time, both awake, but as silent as if we were sleeping.
"I love you." Mindi said, looking up at me.
"I love you too." I replied, kissing her forehead. An alarm went off, signifying sundown; she got up quickly, turning the light on and the alarm off.
"You want to shower first?" she asked.
"Nah, you go on first." I replied. She walked over and pecked me on the lips,
"I'll be right out big boy." She said.
"I'll be waiting." I said, smiling. She grinned and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. I grinned as I laid there on the floor, listened as the water hissed from the showerhead. Then I heard a scream from the bathroom. I jumped up and sprinted for the bathroom, pushing the door open and bursting in. she was laughing then,
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but how else would I have gotten you in here?" she asked, throwing her arms around my neck. I smiled, kissing her lips passionately as she led me to the shower.
"You could have asked"
We were drying off, both still grinning like two year olds. As soon as we were both dressed in out costumes, I locked my combat knife onto my belt, slid a compact pistol into my waist band, and Mindi kissed me. I grabbed her belt and brought her closer, kissing tenderly back.
"Okay cowboy, time to get to work." She said, breaking the kiss. We exited the door and hurried off down the street.
We stumbled upon a couple of goons pinning a girl to the wall. Mindi looked at me, I nodded and we descended down the side of the building.
"I don't think the lady's interested." I said. The guys stopped, there were four of them, easy odds.
"Who is this guy supposed to be?" one of them asked, laughing his ass off.
"Hey marshmallow man, why don't you and you're little sidekick over there go and fuck yourselves." He continued. I started rushing forward, but Mindi beat me to it, taking the first guy down. She rained punches down on his face. I took one of them, ducking under a wild left hook and coming back up with a right hook to his jaw, causing him to stumble back. I pulled my club up off my back and swung it across his face, cracking his cheekbone and sending him yelling in pain to the floor. One of them came up behind me and picked me up by the back of the neck. I kicked at him but he just tossed me hard across the alley and into the trashcans. I got up with the top of one of the cans,
"What are you, Captain America now?" he asked. I rushed forward, he threw a punch, which I blocked with the top and crossed my hand and hit him hard across the cheek with the rough metal can top. He stumbled back and I pulled a Captain America, throwing the can like a Frisbee. I'd like to say it hit him in the face and that was it, but all it did was bounce of his chest and cause him to stumble again. Then I ran up and leaped into the air, driving the sole of my foot into the guy's chest, his sternum breaking under the sheer force I applied to it. He fell backwards, blood leaking from his mouth. Mindi's goon was close to death, if not already passed. She moved on to the final guy, driving her fist into his face, causing him to stumble backwards and into the brick wall. She flipped out her butterfly knife and tossed it, blade penetrating his skull, killing him instantly.
I walked up my steps, Mindi following close behind.
"Time to meet my dad." I said, chuckling. I had my key out, but I looked at the door, it was broken open. I pushed the door open a bit more
"Dad?" I called. I stepped inside, the house hadn't been touched really, a couple of papers on the floor, but that's it.
"DAD!" I called again. I walked into the dining room, spying a note pinned down by a hand gun. I picked up the note and read it aloud,
"Hey Kyle, just wanted to let you know that I know you are the Bloody Hood and I just borrowed your father. You can come get him whenever, we're just gonna play a game or two. Thanks, Frankie."
"Who the fuck is Frankie?" Mindi asked. Then my mind clicked, Sam, I needed to ask Sam.
"Sam." I said.
"No, Sam wouldn't-." Mindi said,
"No, I think it's one of the three stooges." I replied.
