Meltdown
He's been leaving a lot of letters for Jack. He needs to let go. It's depressing. The poor man needs to let go and let the former King rest. Everyone dies eventually, even heroes die. No, heroes die early. Heroes die after their job on Earth is done. And heroes don't die, they're killed. A double case of murder for our Shining Star and former King. Our. I can't very well say it like that; after all they aren't my friends. Jack never had any qualms about reminding me about that.
"It's his fault anyway." Crow mumbles.
I shake my head with frustration.
"Crow for one it wasn't and two you need to stop with the letters, he isn't coming back." I try to console him.
"Oh no, I know he can see them. Stupid prick isn't one to die so easily. If he died in his sleep without a word then I wouldn't have cared, get it?" Crow replies.
"No, not really." I inform him.
Harald is staring at my blackbird through his rear view mirror.
"I heard that you've been sending letters to Jack. Has he answered by any chance?" Harald asks with genuine kindness.
"No, do you think I'd keep going back if he answered?" Crow growls.
Harald stops the car in the middle of the road as he does when he get's particularly upset. Oh blackbird.
"He's moved on. The letters are pointless." Dragan snorts.
Crow makes another growl and I glare at the two.
"If Crow says he hasn't then he hasn't." I sigh.
Harald sighs. A chorus of horns and buzzes and screams of 'Move out of the way fucker' comes from behind. Harald starts the car up again. I stare out of the window. When did it start raining? It's a terrible day for rain.
"I don't see why we have to cart them around town like we're their parents." Dragan grumbles.
"We are." Harald smirks. "I'm the father and you-"
"I dare you finish that you pointy nosed freak." My teammate snarls.
"Are the mother." My leader finishes defiantly.
Crow growls and leaves the car with a slam. Harald chuckles.
"Did I say something wrong?" He laughs.
"No I think he's just having problems moving on." I breathe.
"Well whatever, come time to go back to our apartment." He shrugs.
Of course Harald bought an apartment rather than simply renting one or getting some hotel rooms. He figures I'll keep visiting until Crow and I get hitched or something and then I'll live here and he and Dragan will visit us. Harald and Dragan, saw that coming. After all we seem to be Harald's only friends. He's not the easiest person to get along with. Annoyingly. He's much more aggressive then I had first thought. He also has great aim. Think about it. Yeah.
We pull up to the large building and I crawl out over Dragan. I crawl over him because it makes him angry. His face literally distorts with rage when I do this.
"Brave I swear to God if you fucking crawl over my lap one more fucking time I'll fucking strangle you with your boyfriend." Dragan screams.
Norwegians swear a lot. Dragan once had me watch the news with him, it was literally like this. 'Welcome to the fucking news.'
"How on Earth would that work?" Harald laughs.
"What?" Dragan asks.
Here it comes, the best part.
"How on Earth would you strangle Brave with Crow?" Harald repeats himself with a blank face.
"Fuck you." Dragan swears.
Dragan really doesn't take it well when people blow holes in his empty threats. Time to go inside.
"And here you go getting all defensive again. This is why I can't take you anywhere nice." Harald mentions.
"You are the worst, I hate you." Dragan whines.
"Okay baby." Harald smiles.
Dragan gives him a look like he's just killed his mother and slams the door open and then closed.
"When I lose those doors I am billing you." The Swede mentions as he slams the door.
"You just did it!" The Norwegian complains.
"Ah but I did it far more gentle than you." The silverette chuckles.
"Just get in the fucking apartment you dick."
"As you wish."
I trail slightly behind them. Don't want to get caught in this kind of mess. Ever. They can get terrifying.
We actually get to the door alive. Harald looks like he's going to eat us. No he seriously does. He opens the door and shoves Dragan in.
"Ladies first." He laughs before closing his mouth into a teeth baring smile.
"Yeah well pearls before swine." Dragan growls.
"Age before beauty."
"Aren't you thirty four?"
"I'm sorry but not everyone can age gracefully. You'll probably go bald."
"Don't think so, besides you're already going white."
"This is my natural hair colour."
"Sure it is."
"Yes, and what about the bright yellow highlights in your hair?"
"My dad has them."
"And my mother has silver hair as well."
"Oh so you take after your mother then, explains a lot."
"Yes, after all my mother did fall in love with an effeminate omega."
"Effeminate? I could bench press your fucking car you pussy."
"Yes but I was in the army, remember?"
"You were in the air force."
"And your point is?"
"Oh nothing pointdexter."
"Well not everyone can have strength, beauty and brains. You only have one of those. Hint, hint, it's not the first one or the last one."
"Well at least I have fucking morals you rich bitch!"
"When you have money like mine you can afford to be rich."
Well this is going to end badly. Time to check on blackbird. I pull out my phone and dial his number.
"Hey there black bird." I chirp.
"Hey, what's up?" The other trickstar asks.
The TV goes crashing through with Dragan behind it.
"Nothing bored. Harald and Dragan are bickering and the TV got thrown again." I mention.
"Ow, is Harald alright?" Blackbird asks.
Silly him.
"Course he is, he's the one that threw it." I remark.
"Damn. It's not safe to stay with them. Come to the garage."
D'aww, Crow cares about my safety. So cute. Harald picks up a knife and Dragan by the collar. The Swede is bleeding from the nose into his mouth.
"Put me down! Isn't this extreme for a nose bleed?" Dragan screams.
"You want to hurt me! So I'll hurt you in return!" Harald whimpers.
D'aww, they love each other so much.
"Nu-uh. I've got stuff to do when Harald puts the knife down." I mention after the pause.
"If you come than I'll do whatever you want." Crow offers.
Anything?
"Whatever I want black bird?" I try to confirm.
"Yeah."
Great! I take Harald's keys off the table.
"Gotta go, bye!" I cheer as I run outside.
"Bye Brave." Dragan calls.
"Come back before it gets too late." Harald calls as well.
"Yeah, yeah." I yell.
I open the car and hop into the front seat. The car's sparkling white. Gonna mess it up. Gonna get my blackbird and have sex in this car. And then give it back and act like I have no idea where the mess came from. And Harald will be pissed but it will be funny.
I pull up and Crow's garage shortly. I rap on the door three times before he opens. I put on the biggest smile I can as he throws the door open. His hands are covered in ink. Not again. I'll just ignore it.
"Hey black bird." I wink.
"Yeah hey, I cleaned." He awkwardly insists.
Doesn't look much cleaner.
"Hmn, it still looks like crap." I reply.
"Why are you tall Nordic types always so rude?"
D'aww, I'm a tall Nordic type. Wait... I'm from Brazil. Not sure Hoagie knows that though.
"We're European, rich and sexy Crow, we can afford to be rude."
Yup, European.
"Wait you actually have money? I thought you two just mooched of Harald."
Rude.
"You really think so lowly of me black bird?"
"No-"
I shut him up with a kiss.
"Now black bird you said anything."
I grin and shove him to the floor.
"Anything means anything right?" I whisper in his ear.
I fiddle with the zipper on his pants. This will be great. I'm so going to fuck up Harald's car. It'll be so funny.
"Yeah Brave I guess it does. Are you really going to do it so quickly?"
"Well I have to, I have work at home."
"Isn't it our first time?"
"Yours maybe and ours as a couple sure."
"Don't you want to make it special?" He whimpers.
"No not really, making things special is always too long for me. I just wanna do things spontaneously. Don't you?"
"Yeah but I don't want you to rush on us."
"I'm not rushing. Look if you don't want to then we don't have to."
I sit up and pout. He frowns even more.
"Well I do but you don't seem to care about how we're gonna do this."
"Well how do you want to do this?"
"First off on a bed, second off foreplay is a thing you know, three I swear if you fuck me and walk off then I'll rip off your balls."
"Fine, as you wish blackbird."
I nuzzle his neck and carry him to the bedroom. He wiggles and coos like a baby bird. Preciousness. My blackbird is preciousness. I lay him down on the bed. The blackbird laughs like he did before and I slide of his jeans.
"Heh. You look adorable." I comment.
Before he can say anything I kiss him again. I run my hands through his hair. It's always so messy. My phone rings. Crow sighs. I pick it up.
"Just let me get this blackbird." I sigh.
"Uh yeah I jumped out the window and hurt my back. Could you come over maybe?" Dragan coughs.
"Oh my God! You idiot! Why would you do that?"
"It was an accident."
"I don't care if it was an accident, you could have hurt yourself."
"Uh I did."
I hang up.
"What was it?" Crow asks.
"Dragan jumped out a window." I sigh.
"Leave it be, he's an adult after all." The trickstar growls.
"Not that easy blackbird. As you say about your team they are my bonds."
I leave while Crow frowns. I sweep the keys up and climb into the front seat. My poor blackbird. It's a terrible day for rain.
I pull up to the apartment and Harald has a heat pack to Dragan's bare back. I frown.
"You seem like you've got this. Why'd you bother me?" I ask.
"You have my car and Dragan needs to go to the hospital." Harald smiles.
"Why? His back looks fine."
"The multiple stab wounds that's why. He was bleeding to death on the pavement outside."
"So lemme get this straight, you called me because you stabbed Dragan and he jumped out the window and needs to go to the hospital. You called me from my depressed boyfriend that needs my help. What the hell is wrong with you? The stab wounds aren't even that bad?"
"We don't want you to marry Crow and leave." Dragan admits.
"So you jumped out the window?" I scream. "You are the worst friends!"
I storm out. It's a terrible day for rain. Dragan comes out without his shirt and hugs me.
"You'd just forget about us." He mutters.
"I wouldn't!" I defend.
"You would." Harald mentions.
"I wouldn't! Know let me return to my blackbird!" I cry.
Harald nods and sighs. Dragan bites his lips.
"I will drive you." Harald speaks.
"You do that." I sneer.
Dragan get's in first I crawl over his lap as usual. He frowns at that but unlike usual he doesn't say anything.
"Are you really that angry?" Dragan mutters.
"Yes I am. You two are the worst friends ever." I whine.
"We are. I just didn't want you to leave." Harald says with a waver in his voice.
"Whatever." I pout.
The rain starts trickling down. Seems like it's only raining here. Weird.
"What a terrible day for rain." Harald remarks.
More silence. A truck is going down the wrong lane. Weird. Wait isn't this o-
"Harald!" Dragan yells.
And now there's light. It's very bright though. Dragan is groaning.
"Brave do not move there is a piece of metal through your stomach." He moans.
More silence. No not silence, we have a crowd.
"B-Brave." Harald chokes.
I try to speak but only blood comes out.
"I'm sorry I must have ruined your day." He breathes.
"Brave, Harald, stop. You'll be fine." Dragan coughs. "Somebody call an ambulance!"
I hear multiple cameras. Are they taking pictures? Oh well. I'm going to sleep. It's a terrible day for rain.
"Brave. Brave! BRAVE! Wake up Brave! Wake up! Wake up! Somebody call someone! Please!" Dragan calls.
"Let the boy sleep." Harald murmurs. "He's tired."
"Uh, Brave wake up! Wake up! Please wake up!"
Terrible day for rain. It really obstructs vision. Oh what's that siren? Is it for me? It's too loud.
