Note: So as far as the sequel goes, I've decided not to have Chris kill Angelina's parents. However, I still want him to get his revenge on her so, if anyone has any ideas on how I should have him get back at her please let me know. :D
Chapter 10
The next day I decided to head over to Dave's house. Of course, his dad let me in and I went upstairs to Dave's room and knocked on his door. "Come in!" I heard him say. I took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Oh, it's you," he said coldly. Now, I was really worried that he wasn't going to forgive me but I still had to tell him how sorry I was. I could feel myself tearing up as I looked at him, "I'm so sorry Dave…. I-I shouldn't have bitched at you the way that I did. I should've known you were just looking out for me and you have every right to be cold to me. I'll understand if you don't want to be friends anymore…" I mumbled the last part and wiped my tears.
He got up and pulled me into a hug, "Of course I do, and I'm sorry for acting so overprotective. I just care about you a lot; you're like a sister to me Angelina. I nearly had a goddamn heart attack when I saw Red Mist carry you out of that building."
He let go of me and I chuckled a bit, "Yeah, I know. Even when I was out cold, I could still hear you going ape shit."
He laughed and then told me that he snuck into Katie's room last night and that she attacked him with some hairspray and a tennis racket. He also told me that he revealed his secret identity to her and finally told her that he wasn't gay. He was about ready to go into details about their 'sleepover' but that's when I pretty much said "TMI."
"Welp, looks like you finally got the girl Dave."
"Yup, speaking of relationships, how are you and Chris doing?"
I tried to keep my eyes from welling up in tears again but I obviously didn't succeed. That's when Dave's eyes widened slightly, "Angelina what's wrong? Did that asshole try to make you do something you didn't want to do? Because if he did…"
I cut him off, "No, he didn't do anything! Let's just say that I found out that the rumors about his father being the mob boss of New York are true and I just… couldn't be with him knowing who his father is…" I choked out. Yeah, I left out that I had to break up with him because of what Hit Girl and Big Daddy told me about Frank D'Amico and that I'd lose them as teammates if I didn't. The last thing I wanted to do was dig a bigger hole for myself.
Dave noticed that I was wearing a knee brace and his eyes widened, "Angel, what the fuck happened to your knee?!" He practically yelled and I had to shush him so his dad wouldn't hear.
"I went out on patrol last night and got my ass handed to me by three big guys that were robbing some girl. One of them picked me up and threw me and I landed on my knee. I also got stabbed in the shoulder…." I took off my hoodie and showed him my now patched up shoulder.
"Holy shit! You could've died Angelina! Why didn't you ask me to come with you?!"
"At the time, I knew you were still upset with me and I was still a little upset with you. Not to mention, I wanted to try to get my mind off the breakup but unfortunately, it almost got me killed. When I finally managed to get the hell out of there, I honestly thought I was going to die. But then, Red Mist found me and patched up my shoulder and gave me a knee brace. And then I um…. I kissed Red Mist!" I practically shouted the last part.
He spit out the water he was drinking, "You did what?!"
"Yeah, I kissed him. Now please don't lecture me about this because at this point I don't know what to do…."
Lucky for me, Dave decided not to question me any further about it. After that we decided to meet up with Katie, Erika, Marty, and Todd at Atomic Comics and I couldn't be happier because right now, I really needed to have some fun.
Twenty minutes later, we were all sitting at the counter drinking coffee and chatting it up, "Out of Kick Ass, Red Mist, and Knockout who do you think would win in a three way fight?" Todd asked.
"Why are they all fighting? That seems stupid." Marty replied.
"My money's on Knockout!" I smirked.
"I don't know, I think Kick Ass is really cute though." Katie replied, smiling flirtatiously at Dave. She also said that she'd fuck his brains out if she got the chance. Todd, Marty, and Erika all stared at her astonished and I choked on my coffee. She and Dave pretty much left in a hurry and I snickered a bit. "Guess we're not invited… "Marty mumbled. He decided to break the ice by moving over next to Erika and showing her his comic. It was pretty obvious that he had a thing for her.
It had been about a week since Dave and I checked our myspace pages. Dave promised Katie that his Kick Ass days were over and I hadn't checked my myspace because I was training at the gym for most of the week. Hey, I respect Dave's decision and all but I decided that I wasn't ready to 'retire' yet.
After another good day of training, I headed home and logged onto myspace. To my surprise, I had a bunch of messages from Red Mist. Most of them said that Dave and I needed to meet up with him. Then I looked at my phone and saw that I had a text from Dave; 'Hey, Red Mist wants to meet. Get dressed and meet me outside in 10 minutes.'
'I know, he messaged me too. I'll see you in ten' I wrote back and got the box out of my closet.
Dave and I then headed down to a deserted area by the river and the Mist Mobile was already there. Dave got in the passenger's seat and I climbed in the backseat, "This better be pretty serious dude because I pretty much told my girlfriend that I'm done with all this shit." Dave told him.
"How about all three of us being dead? Is that serious enough for ya?" Red Mist shot back.
Dave looked taken back, "Dead? How?"
"Yeah, what the hell are you talking about?" I asked. It was pretty clear to me that shit was about to go down.
"Well it turns out those dead guys from the warehouse had some bad mother fuckers for friends and they think that we did that shit! There's a price on all of our heads!" Red Mist snapped, looking at Dave for a second and then back at me.
"A price on our heads? What is this, the wild west?" Dave retorted.
"I'm pretty sure he's not fucking around Kick Ass" I said, leaning forward a bit.
"I'm not! They found out where I live! They trashed my place! I'm fuckin screwed and you two are gonna be next okay?!" Red Mist yelled.
"Shit…." We both said at the same time. "What do we do?.." Dave asked. Red Mist was silent for a couple seconds as he stared and Dave, "Remember that you mentioned that there were other superheroes?"
"Yeah…."
"Well do you think they can help us?"
Dave then pulled up his myspace on his phone and keyed in 'Kick Ass is on Vacation.' Hit Girl and Big Daddy messaged him back and told him to meet them at Safehouse B. Red Mist put the address in his GPS and then we drove off. I didn't know what it was but I had this funny feeling in my stomach that something bad was about to happen.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the safehouse and walked down a corridor, "Knockout?" I heard Red Mist say behind me and lightly grabbed my arm.
"Yeah?" I turned around and before I could say anything else, his lips were on mine, kissing me with much intensity. My mind was telling me to pull away but my body was telling me to kiss him back. I don't know what came over me but before I knew it, I placed my hand on his cheek and kissed him back with just as much passion.
I heard Dave clear his throat and I pulled away from Red Mist. "You two can make out all you want later but we've got other things to do at the moment, remember?" Red Mist and I just nodded and Dave knocked on the door.
Big Daddy opened the door, "Well here you both are…. And here you are.. Red Mist too… " He paused and looked at Red Mist for a few seconds, "Pleasure to meet you." He shook Red Mist's hand.
"Good to meet you sir," Red Mist replied and we followed Big Daddy inside. Big Daddy then looked at Hit Girl who was sitting on the window sill, "Hit Girl, manners honey." He told her.
"Hi, I'm Hit Girl" she said and extended her hand. What happened next really caught me off guard. Red Mist pulled out a gun and shot Hit Girl out the fucking window!
Big Daddy yelled "No!" repeatedly and ran over to the window. I pounced on Red Mist and my fists rained down on him like a hailstorm. Unfortunately, I was quickly pulled off and thrown over some big guy's shoulder. Five more goons rushed in, two of them tasered Big Daddy and held him down. Then two more grabbed Dave.
I started screaming like a madwoman in an insane asylum while viciously punching this guy's back. Unfortunately, my attempts were useless since my punches didn't seem to be wearing him down. They probably felt more like a tickle to him. Dave was trying to get free as well but these guys were too strong, "No no, they're with me, they're okay!" Red Mist told the guys that grabbed Dave and I. "Shut the fuck up kid! Your daddy's the boss you go home!" one of them shot back. "Are you shitting me?!" Red Mist yelled.
After hearing what that goon said, I stopped screaming and looked at Red Mist. My eyes widened and I could feel tears forming in them. It just hit me, Chris was Red Mist. The boy I loved had not only betrayed Hit Girl, Dave, and Big Daddy but, he also betrayed me as well. The boy I loved was now my arch enemy.
Big Daddy was thrown into the back of a van as Dave and I were taken outside. I was pissed and hurt. "Put me down! Kick Ass! Knockout! I'm sorry!" Chris shouted.
I gave him a cold look, "I can't believe you did this! You fucking traitor! I HATE YOU CHRISTOPHER D'AMICO! I HATE YOU!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, not giving a shit that I had just revealed my secret identity to him.
Chris looked like he had just seen a ghost and tried to run over to me but his bodyguard grabbed him, "Angelina? No! No! No! Let her go! NO!" He yelled as Dave and I were thrown into the back of the van. The doors slammed shut and the van sped off. I didn't know what the hell was about to happen but I did know that there was a small chance of Dave, Big Daddy, and I making it out alive.
