Nothing much to say but enjoy. Read and review.
Chapter 6 – Party Anyone?
Alex came home, feeling exhausted. Who knew being a doctor that helps people was so…boring. He crashed on the couch feeling empty inside.
Being a doctor showed no satisfaction for him, only mushiness. Alex did not want or like mushiness. All he saw there was crying, praying, and more fuckin' crying and for what? A loved one died, why cry over that, they had more relatives.
He saw no reason, once again for humanity to be worth it. Absolutely motherfuckin' nothing! Alex nearly tore out his head from frustration and anger.
"Why, why can't I find anything worthwhile?" He growled to himself. He really wanted to find something to believe in again, like Dana was but it was hard. Hard because nothing appealed to him. Everything had a façade. Everything had a price.
Everything required blood.
Maybe, maybe humanity needed to burn after all? The thought had been there since day one. Human nature was evil, a consequence of society and civilization.
A side effect of free will was the evil in the world. Alex scoffed. "What, evil came from the bible?" It was true. All evil came from the good.
Nothing was good and evil, only necessary. The essentials. Alex felt if it was necessary to kill millions, he will do it. If he saw fit to destroy the world, nothing can stop him. It was all the laws of the food chain.
The strong survive and the weak starve. And Alex was the Apex. The Alpha and Omega. He was Blacklight. He was evolution embodied. He is god and king of this world.
But how could he destroy this world, for so long he was seen as a monster. Lord knows Dana once thought of him like that.
Alex stood up, walked to the kitchen, and got out a bottle of whiskey. Because of his fast metabolism and his healing factor, he could never get drunk; but that didn't mean he couldn't try.
He took one swing and felt nothing. Oh yeah, he was hollow. He felt nothing, no emotions, no goddamn nothing. And that's a bitch.
If he had known this was going to be where he ended up, he might as well sat on that nuke and waited for it to explode on his ass. He actually preferred death than being judge, jury, and executioner.
Alex should've let that man die when he had the chance.
It was during surgery that a man was brought in with heart cancer. He saved the man with no trouble, having vivisected, dissected, and sliced open thousands of bodies in NYZ had its perks when you're a doctor.
The family thanked him but he felt nothing. No joy, no satisfaction, not even a tingle inside. He mused over this but he was absolutely numb to it.
For the mighty ZEUS, he was hopeless. Here Alex was, brought armies to their knees, crippled entire cities, and now, sulking in a manor with nothing to do.
Alex took one last swig at the bottle and it was empty now, just like him.
"It's hopeless." He said solemnly. Six months he's been here and the only thing he saw was scenery, a crazy bitch, and even more crazy world.
Then his phone rang. Alex groaned in agitation and frustration, whoever this was definitely has a deathwish.
"Hello." Alex said tiredly, but not of exhaustion physically but mentally.
"Hey, Doctor Frost, how've you been?" Yep, this woman really had a deathwish.
"I'm fine, whatever it is, I'm not in." He sighed. His response was automatic because every time Elise called, it usually meant she wanted something from him.
"Oh, c'mon Alex, I just wanna ask you if you wanna come with me to a party." Alex grumbled inwardly, him and parties did not mix well. It usually ended in a huge bang literally.
"I'd love to not go. Ever." Alex deadpanned and Elise just giggled which Alex got confused.
"Too late. I'm already at your door." Alex shot his eyebrows up in surprise. Did she just found out where he lived?
"How did you know where I live?" He asked curiously, he never mentioned or showed her where he lived.
Alex immediately got out and stared out the window. What the – no one was even there.
"I'm at your front door. Open up so I can go in." She said and Alex had his mouth hanging open at the sheer awkwardness of this situation.
"Where exactly are you?"
"At an apartment complex. Where you live duh." He could almost see her rolling her eyes.
Alex face-palmed. 'This bitch just went from crazy to stupidly crazy.' He groaned but chuckled inwardly.
"You know, I think you've got the wrong address there, sister." Alex said, barely holding on to his laughs. If Elise so much as ask him why, he'll surely lose it.
"What the hell do you mean? I'm at your door so open up already." That did it, he laughed into his phone and Elise raised a questioning eyebrow.
"The hell are you laughing at?"
Alex must laughed even more. This woman really should look at an address book once in a while.
After taking a few calming breaths, he decided that it was probably a good idea to let her know that he didn't leave there.
"Really Elise, I think you should get outta there. Because I don't live there." He chuckled.
"Then where do you live so I can come get you." Elise said.
Alex thought for a minute. Should he really tell her? On the plus side, she could come here and annoy him - wait that's a good thing?
Okay so there wasn't any good that'll come out of it.
"Give me one good reason why." He heard Elise groan and he smirked. Alex was always one for annoying someone.
"So I can come get you for the party." Elise said through her teeth. "Come on, you need to get out more."
Alex heard her whine on the phone and snickered. "What if I don't wanna go to that party, what then?" He said, confident that she'll never find him.
Elise huffed in annoyance. "I didn't wanna have to do this Alex but I guess you leave me no choice." She chuckled.
"What?" Alex asked curiously.
"Just hold for just a minute." She said and Alex got curious about what she was doing and shrugged. 'Let's see what you got.'
Unknown to him, Elise had one of her friends with her tracking the signal.
"C'mon Jack, Alex isn't known to be patient, or at least I know he isn't." She whispered to one of her friends with her.
"Just wait a minute will ya'? Sheesh, you're worse than Brina over here." He grumbled as he tried to track this Alex's cell signal.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Sabrina asked.
"Will you two please keep quiet. He might hear you." Elise whispered pointing to her phone.
"Why do we even need to bring him along anyway?" A girl asked.
"Because, Lynn, he's the one who got me in the Institute. A geneticist, surgeon, biologist, the list goes on." Elise thought for a minute, she knew she was missing something. "Oh yeah, and he's a Red Zone survivor."
All six of her friends stared at her wide eyed. "Wow, that's some resume." Jack whistled.
"Yeah and have you got his address already?" Elise was getting a little impatient and she could only guess Alex was too.
"Almost there...almost, got it." He said and his eyes widen in surprise. He showed the rest and there was a collective "What the fuck?!"
Alex heard that and held his phone from his ear, staring at it confusedly. "What the?" He placed the phone to his ear again
"Hey, Elise. You still there?" He was a little confused about all this. Then he heard her voice.
"I'll be right there." Then she hung up. Alex raised an eyebrow and looked at his phone incredulously.
"What the hell was that all about?" He grumbled but shrugged his shoulders. At least she didn't know where he lived.
Alex went up to his room to change his clothes. He had already consumed an elk a few days ago and his reserves were no where near critical levels so he could sit around with his thoughts.
He changed into a white tank top and a pair of jogging pants. No need to constrict himself from a day if doing absolutely nothing except sitting around.
"Wonder what's on T.V. today." He thought out loud and went down the stairs. Really, he had no plans for today. It was either that or listen to the echoes again and that was torture enough.
"T.V. it is then."
Just as he was about to sit down at his couch, the doorbell rang, making the virus groan in annoyance. "Goddamn really bad timing."
The ones at the door should know better than to disturb him. "Go away!" Alex called out and went on to get himself comfortable.
"Alex! Get your ass out here!" An all too familiar voice boomed that made him jerk up in surprise.
"No it can't be. I must be hearing things" He mumbled and shook his head, trying to get that hallucination out of his head.
"Frost, if you're not out here in the next ten seconds, I'll drive my car through your fuckin' door!" Damn, it was real.
'Why? Why in the name of that nuke did it have to be fuckin' me.' He slumped down. There goes his solitude.
Well, might as well get it over with. "Alright, I'm coming!" Alex went to the front door and lo and behold, she was there along with six other people.
Elise and Alex stared each other down, neither backing down. Alex was irritated with her and Elise was just plain angry.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me you live here?!" Elise was angry, that much he could tell.
Alex shrugged and smirked at her. "Sister, this is the only place where I can have some peace and quiet. Why would I tell you where I live?"
Elise huffed and placed her hands on her hips, she was secretly staring at Alex's toned body. 'Damn.' She thought trying to get look Alex in the eye seriously.
"Are you saying I'm annoying?" Elise asked and Alex smirked.
"I called you a crazy bitch for a reason." At that, her friends gasped at this. The last time a man called her crazy, which she was, got sent to the hospital with an exploded left testicle.
"Oh, that was a big mistake." Lynn said and the others covered their eyes from the horrible scene about to befall Alex.
"Why you little..." Elise punched him hard on the face only to feel what her father felt. "Shit!" She waved her hand back and forth, trying to get some feeling back.
"Damn, Alex. What are you made of, fucking steel?!" Elise asked as Alex came towards her and grabbed her throbbing hand.
"More or less, now c'mon inside and I'll take a look at that hand of yours." He said and motioned for them to follow him. Elise did but her friends just stayed outside.
"I'm not gonna ask but did he just call her crazy and got away with it?" Sabrina asked and they all nodded.
"And he took a punch from Elise, that would've left anyone with a fucked up face, completely unharmed?" Again the others nodded if only a little scared.
"And Elise hurt herself just by punching him?" Then they all nodded a little surprised and shocked at who their friend just met.
"No use standing around here and being bitchy, let's go inside. Besides, the place looks cool." Jack said and they all got in.
"Damn, Alex knows how to live." Lynn whistled and went to look for Alex and Elise. They eventually found them in the kitchen.
"For the last time, Elise, my answer will forever be no. And you can take that to the bank." They heard Alex growl that literally gave them a pause.
"Alex, come on. It's not like you're doin' anything. It'll be fun, pleeease." Elise whined.
Alex ran his hand through his hair. "I don't like parties, Elise. Them and I don't have a great history." It was true, the last time he was at a party it, well, he used a devastator.
Elise sighed. "Alex, it'll be fine. It's not a normal party anyway."
He chuckled. "With you nothing's normal."
She playfully glared at him and lightly punched him in the shoulder. "Regardless, c'mon. I'll even beg in my knees if I have to." She was serious as fuck.
Her friends were surprised that the mighty Elise would actually beg.
Alex groaned in annoyance. "What is this anyway?" He could only his back his blade for so long.
"How 'bout jumping off a cliff."
That got Alex's attention. He loved doing stupid and thrill seeking things. "Can I throw you off a cliff?"
Elise just stared at him like he was serious. "Whatever, you in or what?" She asked impatiently.
Alex thought for a minute. It's been a while since anything got interesting to the mighty ZUES and every second he spent doing nothing was more time for those damn voices to annoy the fuck out of him with their shit ass complaining.
'What the hell, it's not like I got a world to destroy. Oops.'
"Fine, fine. Let me go change." Alex sighed and Elise slapped him on the back.
"That's the spirit, Lexi."
"Lexi?" Alex growled. He never and he means never gonna let this slide.
"Yeah, Lexi. Or would you prefer Frosty?" Elise giggled.
"Just Alex." He went up stairs but not before mumbling. "Bitch." Elise heard that.
"What did you say?!" She shrieked but Alex just ignored her and went up to his room to change.
Elise just glared where he was walking and crossed her arms. "Emo fuck." She hissed and went over to her friends.
"Not to sound rude but did he just diss you and get away with it?" A black man with short dreads asked in a Scottish accent.
"Yeah, and there's nothing I can do about it. My dad punched him on the face and broke his hand."
"Wait, Alex broke Richard's hand? He must have a deathwish or something."
"No, Gary, Alex didn't break his hand. My father broke his own hand on impact." Elise snickered. " I swear, that man's gotta be made of steel or some shit like that." She pointed her thumb towards the stairs.
A girl whistled. "Wow." she cocked her head to the side. "And he's hot too." She sighed and Elise's eyebrow twitched a little.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Elise asked.
"It means I'm gonna have fun with him." The girl giggled and the rest rolled her eyes at her.
"Yeah? Good luck on that Rebecca." Elise snickered with her arms crossed.
That said Rebecca chuckled. "What? Certainly you're not jealous?"
Elise turned her head so fast that it almost snapped her neck. "The fuck is you talking about? Now way in hell I'm jealous of you having that emo fuck."
Jack laughed. "Oh lighten up, will ya'? It ain't like he's into you anyway." The others laughed at that but Elise just smirked.
"My my Jack. Seems like you forgot who you're talking to." She said in a sing song voice that made them shut up.
Elise looked at her Justin Bieber-esque friend with a sweet look that made him gulp in fear.
"Seems you need to be re-educated." Elise had an evil look in her eyes and made the rest chuckle nervously.
Luckily for Jack, salvation came in the form of something worse.
"Yeah? And seems you need to be reminded on whose goddamn house you seven fucks are in." A voice growled behind them.
Everyone, except Elise sighed in relief and looked gratefully at Alex.
Elise just grit her teeth and turned around, mad that her intimidation was interrupted.
"Alex, you cunt. I'll-" After she saw him walking down the stairs, she immediately shut the hell up and stared at him wide eyed.
Alex had donned his new attire but now with a greying white long sleeved T-shirt with slash insignias on it and a brown leathern jacket.
'He's hot.' Elise said to herself and she didn't notice Alex shutting her mouth that she didn't even realize.
"Wouldn't want you to eat flies now, do we?" He chuckled as as he arranged his jacket.
Elise shook her head to het the thoughts out and smiled. "All right, let's go." She turned to Alex and pushed him out.
"Damn, woman. Kicking me out of my own house and we're not even married yet." He chuckled at that, Elise tried her best to hide a small blush coming on and punched him on the arm.
"Are you riding with me, or them." She pointed to her friends who were having a hard time not laughing their asses off.
"Nah, I think I'll get my own ride. You wait outside." Alex said and walked to the garage.
Elise shrugged and went out the door with the rest trailing.
"What he got to show?" Sabrina asked and everyone shrugged.
Elise got into her Lamborghini while the others went to their own fast cars. Sabrina in her Audi R8, Lynn in her Mercedes Bench, Rebecca in her Bugatti, Jack in his Camarro, Gary in his Maseratti, and Paul in his Challenger.
"I don't know. Maybe he's gonna go for his Ducati." Elise shrugged.
Then they heard the roaring of an engine similar to that of a muscle car. They saw a black and red 2014 Ford Mustang with Alex at the wheel and whistled appreciatively.
"Daaamn, man. You got swag." Paul chuckled and Elise handed him a radio.
"It's for talking while on the run." Alex nodded and smirked at her. They rolled up their windows and blasted out of Alex's estate to God knows fuckin' where.
