Billy Numerous: Day Nineteen
Billy let Raven do anything she wanted. He wasn't too fussed as long as she kept out of his hair. But even still, he knew something was up. Usually Raven would make fun of him or call him name's but today she'd seemed rather upset. Like she'd just learned the most shocking news. He could see how much it hurt.
Kyd Wykkyd arrived home and Raven acted like he was a monster. She cringed when he touched her and she shut him out and for the most part she acted like he didn't exist. Kyd Wykkyd tried a few times to find out what he'd done but each time Raven would walk away.
Halfway through the day she'd asked Billy if he could take her into the room and she happily sat in the corner keeping herself busy. Billy just shook his head. Everyone had been getting on so well with her and now her and Kyd Wykkyd where in some fight that no one seemed to know of.
"So what did he do?" Billy asked from his bed. Raven looked up with a quirked eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" she asked innocently. It was clear she'd thought she was hiding it but she wasn't.
"You've been shunning Kyd Wykkyd all day," Billy replied and Raven looked impressed.
"Shunning? Not a word you usually use. As for Kyd Wykkyd I'm just not in the mood to talk with him,"
"Why, what did he do? You two were best friends a day ago what changed?" Billy asked and Raven turned her head as a blush rushed to her face. Billy's mask raised a bit as if he was raising an eyebrow under the fabric.
"That's none of your business, besides what does it matter, I'll be gone soon you don't have to pretend to care," Billy laughed.
"I don't care… about you. Kyd Wykkyd on the other hand is one of my closet friends and he was happy hanging out with you,"
"And I'm meant to care? I'm sure he has plenty of people he feels happy around, one might even be a girl," he could hear the slight hiss.
"Yeah, he has a girlfriend," Raven's jaw tightened and Billy smiled as he finally got what happened. "Angel, you know the winged beauty from Hive Academy. Jinx set them up a while back and they've stayed together since," Billy couldn't help the small smile that was still tugging on his lips. Raven's face contorted at Angel's name and girlfriend and he knew why. She like Kyd Wykkyd, this was going to be something to use over her later.
"See, he doesn't need me than," Raven growled.
"You're right, I'll leave you in the room for a bit okay," Billy got up and ducked passed her shutting and locking the door. He went into Seemore's room and shut the door.
"What'cha want Hill-Billy?" Seemore asked.
"Nothing, just wanna talk that's all,"
"I thought you created clone's for that," Seemore replied and Billy's smile dropped.
"But they all have the same opinions, it's a good one don't get me wrong but that's beside the point. Have you noticed Kyd Wykkyd and Raven have been acting weird," Billy asked.
"Yeah, I have, what about it?"
"I think being as everyone else is on good terms with her we should fix them up, they need to spend time together for a bit," He smiled and Seemore sat up.
"Okay, any ideas," Billy smile grow twice the size.
"Does Gizmo still have that band that messes up Kyd Wykkyd powers? I was thinking we get it on him and then lock him and Raven in a room,"
"The only room with a reinforced door is Mammoths, we'd have to lock them in there and it could take days," Seemore said but the fact that the smile remain on Billy's face said everything. "I'll go talk to Mammoth about his room, you get the band off Gizmo," Billy nodded and headed out of the room. He walked down the hall and out into the main room before cutting across to the other side and turning down that hall.
Gizmo was in his room and happily working on something. Billy stepped in and started touching things while Gizmo worked. When he dropped something Gizmo turned and almost threw something at Billy.
"Damn it Billy, what the hell were you doing?" he yelled.
"Sorry, my bad. Hey so curious do you still have that band you made for Kyd Wykkyd while we were training?" Billy asked smiling.
"I do but Kyd Wykkyd hate's that thing and freaks out when it's on, do you really think it's wise to use?" Gizmo said opening a draw.
"I promise I will deal with him," Billy's figures where crossed behind his back and his smile doubled again.
"Whatever just leave me out of it," Gizmo threw a black band over and Billy raced out of the room with it. He stepped into Mammoths room and smile as he heard Mammoth agree to this.
"I'll get them both in here, you just need to put the band on Kyd Wykkyd oh and we should probably sat up a camera so we can prove we've still got her," Billy said passing the band to Mammoth.
Seemore set up a camera and they altered the door enough to slip food and water in. Billy thought this was funny and couldn't wait for them to be trapped. He already had the channel sat so they could watch the fighting.
After dinner Mammoth took Raven to the room and Billy managed to convince Kyd Wykkyd he was need. He'd told Kyd Wykkyd that Raven felt bad and wanted to talk to him before she lost her courage.
'This really doesn't sound like Raven you know that,' Kyd Wykkyd said for the fifth time. He was partly buying what Billy had said, he'd also spent time looking back and thinking of running. Once he was at the door Mammoth pulled Kyd Wykkyd into a hug which confused him more and Seemore took the chance to clamp the band on his wrist. They all pushed him in and slammed the door shut, locking it.
Kyd Wykkyd:
Those stupid jerks had taken my powers and locked me in a room with Raven. They knew she wasn't talking to me and I'd upset her but clearly they were too stupid to realise that she could kill me. Those stupid jerks. That kept replying in my mind like a cd stuck on the same line. What were they thinking? And what was I thinking? Raven would never apologise and the fact that Seemore and Mammoth were waiting there should have been a hint but clearly not.
Raven just sat on the bed with a small smile on her face. I knew she was looking at the band on my wrist and laughing about it in her head. This was much more embarrassing than being over powered by a girl. I wanted to yell at the jerks and hurt them but mostly I wanted out. This bracelet made my arm feel cold and drained me of my power and they all knew I'd sooner jump into a grinding machine then wear it.
"Looks like were cell mates," Raven mused for a moment and then started stripping the bed before turning the mattress over. I smirked and jumped on the bed before she could even lay down.
'Mine,' I said smiled to her but she rolled her eyes.
"Get off," she growled but I shook my head. "I just got rid of the sheets so I could use it now get off," I shook my head again.
'Make me,' I smiled showing teeth and Raven growled and stormed away. She sat on one of the machines and grinded her teeth together. 'Or sulk, you're choice,'
"I'm not sulking I just don't see the point in giving into a child," my smirk dropped at her tone.
'I really have upset you, wanna tell me what I did?' I asked sitting up.
"You breathing for a start," she growled and my smirk jumped onto my face again.
'You want me to stop breathing? For how long?' I took in a breath and held it, Raven looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"No I want you to just leave me alone," I could already hear the amused tone as I let my breath out.
'Why? What did I do?' I moved over to her and kneeled in front but she turned away and went to the bed. My mistake really for leaving it but then I don't mind sharing with her.
"Just let me be, I'm tired," Raven laid down and I sat on the end of the bed. She stiffened and then glared at me. "I'm sleeping here, the ground is down there for you," she said smirking. I shook my head and climbed over her so I laid against the wall with her in front of me. I held my arms open but she turned away and mumbled something. After a minute I moved closer and placed a hand on her shoulder which she flicked off.
'I'm sorry, I don't really know what I did but I'm sorry,' Raven got off the bed and laid on the floor. She'd freeze down there. The whole room was stainless steel. I shook my head and closed my eyes. I made sure to leave room for Raven in case she changed her mind.
Raven: Day Twenty
I woke up frozen and stiff. The steel was even more uncomfortable when the air-con was going. Kyd Wykkyd was still sleeping and I took the chance to stretch and pace around the room. There was a try of food sitting on the ground. There was one of everything so it looked like we'd be sharing. I took half and left the rest on the try. I sat far, far away from the bed and started on the food bar, half a food bar.
I knew treating Kyd Wykkyd this way wasn't nice but I needed him to hate me. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to hate him so, him hating me was the only option. He still didn't deserve this tho.
When he woke up I said nothing. I did nothing. Nothing was good. Kyd Wykkyd on the other hand took a seat beside me and spoke to me about anything. He told me about funny moments Billy, Seemore and he had gotten into, things that happened at the Hive Academy and even how he got involved with Hive Five. Apparently after Privet Hive left Seemore told Jinx about Billy and himself, she meet them and decided that they were both good enough for the team.
He'd stop every few minutes to see if I wanted to say something and would start up again. I was told about what happened after Jinx left. Billy tried to become their leader and wanted them to call him King but then they all voted the Gizmo who was the smartest and better fit.
Really if he could find something to talk about he would and then he just wouldn't stop. I found myself missing the days I was forced into different rooms every night.
Lunch and Dinner where the same. One meal that we split. And when night time came round again I took the floor again knowing Kyd Wykkyd would get into the bed no matter what.
At midnight I was freezing and chattering and my bones ached from the cold. My teeth had started to hurt and I felt numb. I managed to limp over to the bed and sighed staring at Kyd Wykkyd. I thought about just rolling him off the bed but decided to just lay with him. The moment I was comfortable he shifted so he was facing me and his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer. Red had covered my face again but I didn't stop the smile as I leaned into him.
