Chapter 15:
"KURLOTH!" Mituna yelled happily, hugging the purple blood tightly.
Gamzee chuckled nervously and patted the confused troll between his horns.
"Not that I don't like your motherfucking wicked hugs and all… but I aint my motherfucking dancestor," he said grinning apologetically.
Mituna immediately let go of the tall highblood teen and stared at him with wide eyes hidden behind his large, curly bangs. Gamzee grinned at him and waved, muttering a quiet sorry. It didn't seem to calm the other down much, as he staggered backwards and fell on his butt.
"I'm thorry!" the yellow blood yelped.
"No harm done, motherfucker," Gamzee replied.
"Kurloth can't talk. You're not Kurloth," the brain damaged boy mumbled. "I'm thorry…"
"The name's Gamzee motherfucking Makara, brother!" the highblood introduced himself. "Kurloz is all up and my motherfucking dancestor."
Gamzee stuck out his hand and smiled brightly at the smaller, yet older, yellow blood. This time, Mituna seemed to be calming down by this and he stood up again, dusting his pants off before grasping Gamzee's outstretched hand. He giggled happily and shook it roughly, making Gamzee laugh as well.
"I'm mother… fucking Mit-mituna Captor!" he greeted.
"Nice to up and motherfucking meet you Mitbro!"
"Hehe, you thound like Kurloth before he thtopped talking."
"That's honestly worrisome," Steve whispered from where the rest were observing the exchange.
Several of the others nodded in agreement. The Avengers hadn't yet decided what to think of Gamzee. He was weird and acted like a drug addict most of the time, but in his moments of brightness, he seemed really scary. They really hoped they'd only have to deal with one such stranger.
"FUCK YEAH IT IS," Karkat grumbled from next to the super soldier. "KURLOZ USED TO BE A FUCKING FOLLOWER OF LORD ENGLISH, JUST LIKE GAMZEE."
"Follower of who?" Tony wanted to know.
Karkat tensed, as did the rest of the teens. John glanced nervously between the Avengers and Karkat, before sending a desperate glance towards Dave and Jade, as if asking for them to do something. Dave sighed and walked up, putting a hand on Karkat's shoulder in an attempt to make the shorter troll relax a bit.
"It doesn't matter," the platinum blonde said. "He's not here anyway, so who gives a shit anymore right?"
Karkat almost seemed thankful for Dave's help, but still shrugged the hand off with a quick glare. Dave rolled his eyes behind his shades and backed off again, holding up his hands in mock defeat.
"And I up and got my motherfucking repentance on," Gamzee added with a dopey grin before turning serious. "Aint no motherfucking God all up and got his wicked fucking messing on with my bitchtits palebro."
"Thure, that'th one way to put it," Sollux shrugged, rolling his eyes. "I'm tho fucking happy that you came back after you killed half our team just because KK might be in danger. Really fucking conthiderate of you GM."
Gamzee's grey pointy ears actually drooped at that and he stared guiltily at the group, his lips pulled up in a pout. Mituna, who was still standing next to him raised a hand and started papping Gamzee's cheek, much to everyone's surprise. The purple blood's eyes widened in shock and he tensed up, making Mituna belief he had done something wrong.
"I'm thorry!" the yellow blood squeaked, pulling his hand away from Gamzee's face and cradling it against his chest as if he had burned it.
"No harm done motherfucker," Gamzee replied, giving the other teen a lazy grin.
Feferi, Aradia and Jade were melting at the sight of the cute, brain damaged yellow blood and the fearsome highblood bonding the way they did and even Sollux and Karkat softened. John giggled and poked the still straight faced Strider in the side with a large grin.
"Things are turning out surprisingly great, right Dave?" he said.
"Just give it some time, I bet the usual shit will soon hit the proverbial van and then we're all fucked again," Dave replied with a shrug of his shoulder. "Just lie down with your ass high up in the air and get ready for the big dick of fuckery coming our way Egderp."
"Jeez, did you have to put it like that?" John asked, face scrunched up at the image Dave's rambling had brought up.
"Not every day I get to scare an adult man," the blonde replied as he nodded towards Captain America, who seemed to have turned quite a bit paler.
"You know," Tony Stark spoke up with a smirk plastered on his face, "I think these kids are actually growing on me."
"No surprise there," Black Widow muttered as she eyed the group suspiciously.
"Hello, miss. I'm sorry if I trigger you I any way, but have you seen my friends? It should be easy to recognize them as they are troll, like me," Kankri asked a nice-looking lady.
The woman squeaked in surprise and fainted on the spot. Several of the other trolls snickered at the crestfallen look on the talkative mutant blood as he stared at the unconscious female.
"I'm sorry if I triggered you, but this is quite triggering for me as well," he mumbled before he walked away.
"Hey boss, shouldn't we, I don't know, take care of the woman?" Rufioh asked worried. "I mean, we can't just let her lie there, right?"
"I don't want to intrude any more than I have to," Kankri replied with a shrug. "She clearly was triggered by my presence, so I think it would be best if we were to leave again."
"私はあなたの存在によって引き起こさよ" Damara muttered as she glared at the exchange.
The entire group turned towards Rufioh in hopes of a translation. The brown blood grinned apologetically and gave a small shrug.
"She said she's triggered by Kankri's presence," he told them.
"I- what?!" the offended teen muttered, blushing in humiliation as Latula and Kurloz started laughing.
"I suggest we all continue our search," Porrim quickly butted in.
"I agree," Aranea nodded. "And I think it would be best if we didn't approach too many humans anymore. I doubt there'll be anyone around who wouldn't faint."
And I updated again! Who's shocked? I sure am.
I honestly didn't think this story would go any further, but I keep surprising myself with writing new chapters. Slowly and far inbetween, but I'm still writing on this thing!
