'Thoughts'

Storyline

Flash back

"Talking"

Chap: 2 Silver peeks, Shadow Speaks

After his run in with his rival, Shadow decided to head home but was still thinking about his dream that has been haunting him. He didn't know to either to be disgusted or to embrace this dream as a part of his past. Even though he served Black Doom to find his past, he still had visions of his past that weren't part of what both Robotnik and Doom had told him.

This chain of thought caused him to act a little more colder than he would to both Sonic and to Rouge. Despite this he was happy that he had the bat in his life. He thought of her as both a lover and a sister. But lately they were getting rocky in their relationship. He didn't want to admit it but they were better off as friends than lovers.

"SHADOW! HELLO ARE YOU THERE!?" yelled Rouge as she waved her hand at his face.

"Ahhh! Geez sorry Rouge.. Just thinking…" he said coldly to her as he walked his bike up the driveway.

"Well that's a third time this week, wanna go for a new record?!" she scolded the black hedgehog.

He wanted to yell at her but he didn't want to break her heart any more than he just did. But he couldn't tell her why he spaced out again. He was stuck in a new dilemma, one just as bad as the other.

'Either I tell her or I don't…theres no way around it'… he thought as she continued to stand there with the angry expression.

"Well??" she asked again.

"Look Rouge…I'm so sorry but uhhh… I gotta go somewhere. I promise I'll be back in a few." he said as he got up and walked to his bike. Before he could mount it, Rouge grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

"No…I don't think so. You're gonna tell me whats been eating you the past few days or I wont be here when you get back!" she threatened the ebony hedgehog.

"The fuck's your problem? I said I gotta go see someone. What, I gotta ask your permission to go see a friend!?" he shouted in response.

"No but you cant just ignore me like I don't exist! What's eating you, Shadow? You were never like this since we started dating. What is it?" she begged again.

"I got a lot on my mind right now Rouge… just let me go right now and I'll be back soon." he said as he got on the bike and kick-started it. Rouge however started to cry.

"Now what?" he asked annoyed. She then smacked him across the cheek and ran in the door and locked it. Instead of going after her, he just mounted the bike and kicked it alive.

"Women…can't live with them, cant kill 'em" said the black hedgehog as he rode off.

Silver's Residence

Approaching his friends house, Shadow knocked to get the psychic's attention. He didn't get an answer after the first 3 knocks. He then knocked a little harder, but no response. He then went back to his bike and started to charge the door but was stopped by a blue aura.

"FOR THE LAST FUCKIN TIME, I'M COMING YA IMPATIENT FUCKER!" yelled the voice inside the house. The door opened to reveal the silver hedgehog, both tired and angry.

"Oh its you Shadow. Hows it goin?" asked Silver as he released his captive. That earned him a punch to the eye.

"THAT'S how I'm feeling…My girlfriend and I broke up, I almost got in to a car crash with Faker, and now you imprisoned me in a trap!? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?!" yelled Shadow in rage.

"…oh shit, my bad…I'm sorry…wanna hit me again?" Silver asked as he looked sorry.

"Nah…I'm good now. So anyway are you busy?" asked the ebony hedgehog as he smirked.

"Nope. Why you need something??"

"Kinda…can you dive into my mind please?? I kinda need your help with something." asked Shadow as he sported a sad look.

"Ok…c'mon in and I'll get ya a beer."

15 mins later

"Ok lay down on the couch… and clear your mind." said Silver as he placed his hands on Shadow's temple and started to glow.

"Relax…and Houston, we're ready for lift-off." he said as he closed his eyes.

5 years ago

"Shadow…the promised day is upon us! Now the time to begin the ritual has started…bring me the 7 Chaos Emeralds as it was promised…" said the vision of Black Doom as more Black Arms aliens landed into Westopolis.

Arriving shortly he saw the bodies of fallen GUN soldiers and Aliens, but in one of the men had a Chaos Emerald. Grabbing it he went on to the next part, rifle in hand and emerald in other to fight the aliens.

"Nah…go a little deeper… I've know that part already…" whispered Shadow as he kept his eyes closed.

7 years ago

He was now standing over a blue hedgehog, both tired and bruised from the brief fistfight they had. The victor was now smirking over proving that he was dominated in their fight.

"Well… I say you should consider yourself lucky, Sonic…if I had used my FULL power earlier on you, you'd be dead… a normal creature like yourself doesn't stand much a chance against me…"

Sonic then chuckled lightly and smirked back, Shadow then saw something in this foe's eye that both angered and excited him. It was a look of a challenge.

"Don't underestimate us 'normal' types…" he replied as he got up and prepared himself for round 2 of their fight.

"You two fought before??" asked Silver as he stopped for a second.

"That's when I first started working for Egg-for-Brains…its when he found out that I too had Chaos Control. But that's for another time…can you try to go deeper than that??" asked Shadow as he closed his eyes again.

"Ok…this one is gonna hurt like hell. Try to relax as much as you can…" said the psychic as he dove back in.

11 years ago (A/N: this part will throw you guys off but I know it was technically 50 years ago. But in this universe its gonna be a little different. I'll explain later in future chapters.)

"GET THEM!" yelled a GUN agent as he chased after a young girl and Shadow. The duo ran as fast they could to the next corridor. They made it in and locked it shut.

"Now what…they're gonna get in very soon." said Shadow as he looked for anything he could use.

"Shadow, quick get in!" said the girl as she activated the near by escape capsule. He went in but noticed that the girl wasn't going to fit with him and it would take another person to set the second pod for departure.

"Maria what about you?" asked the ebony hedgehog. Her answer was muted from the opening of the door behind her. She hastily locked Shadow in the pod and locked it from the outside.

What scared him next was not this act but what the GUN agent did following her act. He raised his gun and took aim. There was a flash of light from the barrel and a eruption of red that hit both the capsule and the place where Maria's heart was. The agent had shot the girl through the heart.

"MARIA!!!!" Cried Shadow as he pounded on the glass, hoping to break it to save her. But all acts in doing so were in futility. He then started to cry as his best friend slowly got up and placed her hand on the console near his pod.

"Please…Shadow…promise me….promise me that you'll give them a chance…to be…happy…" she said as she pressed the button. After that she closed her eyes, and stopped drawling breath.

"MARRIIIAAA!!' screamed Shadow as he was jettison from the ARK. Tears fell from his eyes as he fell into a deep hibernated sleep, swearing revenge for what as been inflicted on him.

"Guess that's why you're so angry at times her name is mentioned. I kinda don't want to do this anymore, Shadow… but do you want me to?" asked Silver in a sad tone.

"…deeper." was his only answer. Silver then placed his hands over the black hedgehog's head again and began to dive deeper into his memory.

17 years ago…

Two hedgehogs were running on the banks of a hill, both were easily entertained. One had blue fur and quills that ran downward. The other had black fur with quills that had streaks of red in them and had tips that ran upward. They were laughing away from their game of tag.

"Hey, Shad? When do you go to that new family tomorrow? I'm gonna miss ya big brother?" asked the youngest.

"Dunno… but I hope they're nice people. I really don't want to leave you here alone. Especially after Manic and Sonia was adopted before me and you were. If anyone needed to be adopted, I hoped it would be you…" said Shad as he got up and sat on the plain again.

"Well… it could be worse…" he said

That was as far as Shadow allowed before the pain overwhelmed him and caused him to break out of the vision. He opened his eyes and felt his entire body ache. Silver himself was blasted backwards off his feet and landed on the ground from the force.

"You ok?" asked Shadow as he helped Silver to his feet.

"Dunno… 'm ok for now. How about you?" he asked.

"Same here…my head hurts. What did you see??" Shadow asked again.

"Not much…if I try to dive again, I'll hurt both my mental state and possibly kill you. I think we should stop for now." said the silver hedgehog as he dusted himself off.

"Well at least I made SOME progress. I think I've bothered ya long enough. I best get going." said the anti-Hero as he went to grab his jacket.

"Hey ahh… dude if you want, use my guest room. I doubt you're gonna be welcomed back at Rouge's place." offered Silver as he fixed his couch.

"I'm gonna try my luck. I doubt she's still mad at…"'RING, RING!' started Shadow before his cell phone went off. He answered it but was awarded with a yell and a very pissed off bat.

"YOU JERK! WE'RE THROUGH!! I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU AND YOUR DAMN PAST!! DON''T EVEN BOTHER COMING BACK TO APOLOGIZE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU OR HEAR YOU TILL I SAY SO!" screamed Rouge as she slammed the phone on the receiver.

Shadow then looked back at Silver and gave a sad look.

"Aah…can you show me where your guest room is? I kinda have more problems than I thought…"

Silver then just laughed and soon enough, the room was filled with the laughter of the two hedgehogs.

Wow…. And I thought Amy was scary when she gets ticked. Well I guess the moral here is that we don't want to piss off a famous jewel thief. Any way, read and Review. Chapter 3 coming soon.
